Obj's one aim in life is to make this nation a truly democratic country.he believed that in Nigeria, national loyalties were stronger than tribal ones.And this was one of the reasons why majority of the yorubas disliked him grin grin

Cos the others no sabi maintain bilateral relationship.
No. Because:

# those are the people that corrupted him


# he was the first president of the so called democracy in Nigeria.


# he was their stooge

Now you can understand why he had bilateral relationship with them.

Becauser OBJ was their puppet. He was always dancing to their tune. Buhari no send anybody, GEJ blocked their gay agenda, Abdulsalami didn't fit their plan, IBB always dribble them, Abacha, heeee, that one was a pain in their white asses, but OBJ, both as a military ruler and a civilian President was their go-to guy to push all their agenda in the country, all for padi-padi visits and international recognition. I prefer Abacha to them all. They couldn't control that one and he stood the best chance to uphold the Nigerian agenda and identity.

Stop deceiving yourself!

Buhari does not send anybody, but he runs to the west to treat himself.

Abacha does not send them but he was stealing your money and stashing it in the west.

He was an economic hitman,and his mission was to actually destroy the social political and economic development of Nigeria.from electricity,to railway to ajaokuta ,to Nigeria airways,Nigerian shipping lines ,nothing must work or move

Lol and buahri is what then? After sending us to recession. Obj had a weakness he liked to control it all cos he always felt he knew better and he probably did bt nobody really knows it all. I believe he meant well each time. All the things u mentioned were the failed privatization adventure they hurriedly embarked on and it collapsed due to poor execution amongst others things like inexperienced And poor knowledge in privatization and sm greed. However it wasn’t done to kill the economy but relieve sm burden from government while making money for government by its sales bt they miscalculated like I said.

Nobody talks about how he brought in technocrats like NOI and Cleared most of our debts or sustaina the economy or the policy he revolutionized, like pension schemes, EFCC and many more. We just look at the failed privatization only. Not exactly fair

It was only under obj Nigeria actually progressed ecpnomically. He created a middle class via the financial sector and telecoms. Buhari finally annihilated the middle class in Nigeria. Under obj ppl in diaspora were actually coming back to relocate. This dullard has made eery intelligent person runaway.

Centralization of power will normally affect output in government.he maintained the system ,and ensured hausa fulani oppression of the others,at the work place.unification of all assets belonging to western Nigeria and naming them Nigerian assets.

U simply don’t like obasanjo I can see that bt pls acknowledge his brilliance where he showed sm cos we currently have one of the dullest Presidents in history since he left. I hear so much noise about ajaokuta for it not to have functioned in 40 years under different presidents means theirs more to it and need to be addressed differently or properly bt it’s not the only problem this country faces.

We need the best hands to lead the economy. I look at Dubai and see what they have done in a short time from oil revenue and we are here wasting away. We need drastic action and policies to move ahead.

Even obasanjo at that time cud never find it easy to restructure the country. It’s not a one man show or call. There are many people and interests to contend with. I believe then he had to exhaust the present system for people to see if that can work or not b4 u embark on an unknown restructuring journey in this country. Now people are seeing more reasons for restructuring unlike b4.

United Arab Emirates is a structured country of about 9million people oraround 9.3million .An organized system and structure brings result. seven emirates consisting of Abu Dhabi which serves as the capital, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain. Each emirate is governed by a ruler; together, they jointly form the Federal Supreme Council. One of the rulers serves as the President of the United Arab Emirates.

I will only agree on the electricity part. That was abit deliberate. Remember also obasanjo then was fighting another level of war with his deputy atiku. A huge distraction many don’t realize the dept and how he had to manage the economy and country while dealing with such an issue of an influential vice in a new democracy.

Yes I know they are not as big bt there’s still smtn to learn from how structured they are and how they did it. Lagos has not gotten to a true mega city despite running a large economy. So much wastage and corruption along with the good ideas and intentions.

He himself fought and maintained the unitary system ,he likes the powers that came with centralization,and all his policies was to ensure the status quo.jamb was used to destroyed the educational system in the west,he maintained it,if your hands are tied ,you could still do little things,he made sure everything goes down.NYsc is also useless, Integration is about marriage between people,learning languages and educational exchanges.everything is to bring the country down

It may be sharing formula that must have caused the problem,the both don't mean well for Nigeria.what was he able to do properly.efcc?some countries have well organized ministry of corruption,ensuring daily protection of national wealth without favourtism, nepotism and selective justice.

But the country was structured this way also in the past,why can't they return to a system that works.its same in Ghana, South Africa,United kingdom,kenya.its deliberate,to put the country in a reverse and get rewarded.

As a General Dictator, he is a Democrat.
As a Civilian President, he is a Supreme Democrat.

Not sharing formula, more of trying to unseat obj. Yes obasanjo enjoyed the control bt he worked to make the system better with his powers bt he also tried to eat his cake as have it that’s why a lot of things backfired and didn’t workout. I’m sure they know better now.

Atiku came back and was ready to restructure bt most people don’t want to hear it or can’t trust him, we are resistant to change smtmes. Buhari is scared to restructure also.
