Okay. OBJ used $6 billion to provide light.

It's obvious.

Some people have factory-fitted stupidity. They are non-salvageable. Better left to remain like that since it's second nature

Show us real proof, $6bn or $16bn can't disappear in the federation account, or excess crude account or any account for that matter with out paper trail.

Ghaddafi was younger than Obasanjo. Libya is smaller in size and population compared to Nigeria.

I hope when you realise that you're been used like akintola to destroy awolowo we would speak up in one voice and settle our differences indoor. I maintain obj has short commings, but you can never take away things he did from been major comander of comando forces in nigerian civil war, the first soldier to return power to civilian, the man who made free education compulsory in other region, the man who brought gsm to Nigeria, he canceled and repayed debt incured by buhari ibb abacha regime, while still leaving an healthy foreign reserve

See this guy talking about obasanjo as major commando of the civil war..... grin
Obasanjo that has been revealed to be fraud by Alabi Isama.....It seems you only read obasanjo's memoirs of the war.

We are no longer fighting the civil war.

Which differences are we settling? He wasted the slot South West had for the presidency. People like prof Wole Soyinka tried talking sense into his head he refused to listen, he prefers to rather kneel for a foreign dictator who is much younger than him.

Abeg carry your Yoruba ronu away from here.

And these are the achievements you can mention for someone who ruled for about 12 years in total. Military+Civilian?

what the heck his "he brought GSM to Nigerian" how is this groundbreaking. Funny!

Same man wanted a third term bid

Burnt billions of dollars on power projects.

Obasanjo deserves zero praise

So many things going on in this country. We need encouraging news ojere. Seems our leaders has forgotten the main purpose of democracy.

PDP should tell us what they are offering Nigerians, all I hear them say is grabbing power.

Grabbing power for stealing is not corruption to continue.

Grabbing power for CBN vault to be opened for Oloshos which is what they are doing for the 16 year's in power.

Grabbing power for massive looting to come back.

If they really care about Nigeria why didn't they decamp to NCP and contest against baba from there? Why decamp to PDP?.

Sai baba till 2023,

Keep your advise to your own people.

Let me remind what Ojo Maduekwe said when Alex Ekwueme wanted to contest vs OBJ for PDP Presidential primaries :

"Any Igbo who wants to be President is out of his mind".

Nnamdi Kanu : "99% of all Igbo women are prostitutes"

Ralph Uwazurike : "Igbo tribe is the most foolish in the world"


These are real quotes that can be verified online. Any yeye MOD that deletes this is a bigot.

Prof, you are noble laureate, good! Obasanjo is a former president (twice). he has a farm in Otta, Ogun State, not in Dubai or Switzerland like some others! Leave this baba alone. Go start a farm or a small company producing pencil then I will take you serious.

one thing you should acknowledge the Yoruba for is their ability to speak the truth irrespective of whose horse is gorge. I believe your mother or father as a respective Yoruba/Ibadan man will not spare you for stealing instead of protecting you under the concept of "omo wa ni". If WOLE SOYINKA is saying the truth, he is a typical Yoruba man and kudos to him, otherwise, he is agbaya.

No. Yoruba people are the ones that pleases their present pay master. Most fearful and deceptive tribe in the world. Thats their characteristics. Every tribe get him own

It was obasanjo's fault for making Atiku his 2nd in command. Right from the time obasanjo made him VP, Atiku cleverly saw and almost used every opportunity to usurp Power from Obasanjo that frightened him highly. If not for sympathisers from obasanjo's camp he would dealt with him for making him is VP and nothing will happen. His rebellious attitude was what made obasanjo shelved his 3rd term bid for fear of been overthrown by him.
And that is why I don't want Atiku because he is power drunk during OBJ era

Yoruba destroying yorubas since the days of awolowo and akintola undecided , Yoruba ronu, its funny how tinubu an ally of MKO is teaming up with same Buhari that got the juiciest apointement under abacha, while throwing jabs at obasanjo. Same obasanjo that gave back power to shagari a man from sokoto through democracy and Buhari and co(abacha and Ibb) dethroned through coup de tat, same obasanjo that came back home to confront abacha on MKO's denial to power when Buhari conveniently choose to keep quiet and become PTDF chairman, same obasanjo that was imprisoned while wole Soyinka was in exile. Professor Soyinka, northern youth are mocking you, they see you as someone who disrespect his own to promote others, no matter what they never disrespect their own, they may disagree but never ridicule their own

Sharraap u dunce!!

If people are doing wrong you expose them despite where they are fromm whether your tribe or not - for the benefit of all.

So because they are from the same tribe, Soyinka should keep quiet while the foundations of the nation crumble and the country dangles on the precipice ?

The northern youth you are so concerned about are irrelevant to Kongi.

Please not everyone is a primitive tribalist, some people have higher principles.

His punishment in life or death can never be enough for all his crimes.
Truly one of the MOST DISGUSTING humans ever born.
Ugly BASTARD of the WEST! angry

Deal with OBJ at your own peril. Atiku was too civilized in dealing with such a OGUN state barrack tout I swear! embarassed

Who is obasonjo? In the front of gaddafi then. If any country should be name giant of Africa. Libya deserve the name by distinction.

Col Gaddafi do not only played a prominent role in the formation of the African Union (AU) - he also wielded enormous influence because he was one of its major financiers.

I remember at one AU summit in 2008, he got many African traditional leaders to declare him the continent's "king of kings" .EVEN well known mandela pay his loyalty to him. Mandela honored and value him so much that one of his grandson was name gaddafi.

OBASANJO committed atrocities. He ought to apologise to Nigerians

But why is it that whenever OBJ makes public appearance now, a negative publication about him follows

In as much as I respect Wole Soyinka, his silence and inaction has contributed greatly to the problems facing NIGERIA!

He should exonerate himself. He was/is part of the problem!

Of what use is this talks now
