Useless old man.. Did macron, Trump, Edogan, Obama, Angela Markel came to market themselves to Africa before they became president? Why must Africa leaders stoop so low for the international community... If we're not ready to Govern ourselves or stay independent we should call them back to colonize us.

Africa leaders are the reason the international community interfere in our affairs and also don't value us.. When you give someone too much importantance you Automatically loose your respect.

Obj traveled a lot when he was in office, GEJ did the same thing, PMB, the same And Atiku also going to the United States to prove a point. Obama didn't visit Nigeria for once i don't think Trump will...

Putin and Trump meet on Nuetral ground to show you they've Pride. But Africa leaders traveling upanda like they have no sense of Direction.

They are the ones that Finance a whole lot of things in Africa...

Until the African leaders begin to work out things inwards... that's how it will be...

The only detribalised leader I've ever known in Nigeria is obasanjo. He was tagged president of the igbos and northerners during his tenure as president by my people. They didn't even vote him the first time in 1999. Here is same man who was defending buhari in 2015 all over the world, repairing his damaged reputations and lack of respect for the rule of law which truncated his government in the 80s rebranding him as a true democrat in the western world which led to waiver on his ban by the USA for his stance on religious and ethnic violence in Nigeria. Now, obj is defending another northerner again cos he's seen that buhari obvuously has got nothing to offer, just like GEJ. Gej we were castigating then even did far more than buhari did. Most of his projects...If not all, are what the apc is counting on, as their performance. If not the corruption which marred Jonathan's government and his nonchalance on tackling it, he'd probably have been the best president Nigeria ever had, given those massive projects he orchestrated and executed to some stages.

Be that as it may, politics is all about interests. In as much as the ruling party has been busy attacking baba lately , I'd rather advise they ponder on the message instead of attacking the messenger. Nigerians are crying, the economy isn't working and no investors are coming in . Our debt profile is alarming, insecurity is massive and boko haram keeps spreading like wild fire. How i wish the war had raged like this while obj was in office. We wouldn't have heard about boko haram anymore because he'd have treated their fuckup, as he did their leader back then. Buhari can't say he doesn't know their sponsor...why is he not fishing them out and prosecuting them? Buhari is leaving leprosy and busy treating eczema.until their sponsors are prosecuted and their sources of funds are blocked, boko haram can never be defeated. The federal government controls the central bank, the commercial banks they find it easy to block the accounts of the opposition members in less than 1 hour but has failed to do so to boko haram sponsors who also operate accounts with our local banks. Foreign transactions are always being monitored by the CBN. They ship their amunition into Nigeria through same nigerian ports. I remember a day we moved funds overseas and our account officer typed an acronym. Instead of writing it in full, he just put the abbreviation under payment transfer purpose. Our payment was blocked immediately...taking us 2 months to get it sorted with the CBN. They say the acronym was similar to a blacklisted terrorist organisation globally. We almost lost that deal because we supplied behind schedule. I believe our government knows what they're doing and if they fail to act now, they're merely postponing the evils day and it's the posterity that would suffer it. Boko haram are now extending their base to the north west and north central. Our government have called them different names to deceive Nigerians, except me. They started by saying they're cattle rustlers when they first hit zamfara and my question then was...How many cows do they have in zamfara that I visit regularly? Later, they said they're herdsmen in the middle belt and now, they're called armed bandits meanwhile, it's same boko haram. Nobody is above the law. Nigerians should get serious about this and stop being sentimental. Good morning Nigerians.
GOD BLESS YOU

Well, it looks like a lot of people will be demystified after February 16 elections.

I really don't know what Obasanjo's ego is really telling him. Personally, I think he's one of those people who you can describe as been loathe at home but revered away from home. He has been able to maintain a good rapport with the elites in this country and the international community over the years but has no relationship, none whatsoever, with the common man in the streets.

He wants to lobby for Atiku abroad? How's that going to increase his acceptance here in Nigeria?

Lemme further your gospel jare, i use to have my issues with Obj till he came for the christ embassy crossover service. i heard him speak passionately about africa, he was very eloquent, still full of energy and understood that this man has strong affiliation across africa. All he communicated that night was not from any book or written speech but from hos deep. The whole arena got up and was applauding him. and i wondered, this man sha... that night, i realized that no matter what i thought about him, i must give to obj that which belongs to obj which is the respect he deserves. At his age and with his affluence, he is a nothing to loose so he say and does it as it is.

Back to politics, For Obj to support Atiku to Buhari as at today should gives an idea of the bigger threat. And let no man make any mistake, that man is very formidable. He is a man that pursue thing passionately. He will see to it. The only thing that needs to be done is to ensure a free and credible election and am sure the persuasion of foreign allies would increasingly ensure that.

Nothing he can do, Obasanjo has not such power to influence UN, EU not even AU. At present, Buhari is the symbol of Nigeria, he is more important and respected than Obasanjo at this moment.
White people and world leaders don't tolerate crudeness and repeated inconsistencies. Obasanjo's arrogancy and complexity will surely destroy him completely, he has made repeated serious criminal pronouncements on Atiku and he's struggling to change it suddenly. No sensible leaders of the word will take him serious.

Are you minding those Sowores and co, i like them so people dont get it wrong and i want what they want but they dont understand. They think they can wrestle buhari, people that has not even sealed their senatorial territory or a single state. They think Presidency is where it all ends but they forfot the only reason why buhari is still in aso rock is because his party still forms the majority in the NASS... Saraki is still there because the APC dont have the numbers too to get rid of him. So them that any candidate there and most of them cant think like Sowore cos of what they already used and its not long before he starts getting them irritated with his none calm approach.

Neway, make i no talk much story. Atiku is a means to the next means and if they want their chance at this, they nees Atiku else they have to be paying homage to tinubu is they ever want to be part of the nigeria project forever.

Bro, I cannot really disagree with what you said in your first paragraph because it's merely a position you took after witnessing OBJ speak in a religious gathering. He knows so much about African politics, he's exposed internationally and he's a good orator, and many more.

But OBJ is an ELITE. And as all things Elite, they only resonate in the Elite World. He's who can help navigate Atiku's candidacy in Elite world. He can help Atiku win Party tickets, broker peace deals and meetings, sneak Atiku into the US, get Atiku to address the AU, get Buhari to dine with Atiku, But Obasanjo can never get Nigerians to dine with Atiku because he's not, and never was a local politician

How's OBJ going to influence people in Otta farm vote Atiku talk less of people in the north? Obasanjo can support whomever he pleases. He didn't make Jonathan lose the 2015 elections. He didn't make Buhari Win. It's better to have his support don't get me wrong. But Obasanjo cannot make or Mar the Chances of either Buhari or Atiku to be frank because he cannot influence even his immediate family to follow his cue.

I'm hoping for a free and credible elections too. However, It's obvious you can never get the free and fair elections you're praying for because you believe Atiku losing is not a possibility.
Re: Obasanjo To Embark On Foreign Tour For Atiku by themanderon: 10:07am On Jan 23, 2019
Foolish Nigerians think its them that decides who becomes President of their country. Boy have I got news for you. Your foreign overlords are actually the deciding factors for whoever rules the shithole.
Do you actually think without their support PDP would have ever thought of handing over power to the opposition much less a man like buhari?
You are actually on a very long thing. Your votes has never and will never count as there are powerful forces behind the scene both local and international that decides who rules you. Just watch and see how the elections will play out.
You think those people junketing up and down to foreign lands are just going for Christmas pudding? No, they actually know what's up while you the simpletons have been made to believe your votes count.
