Father of corruption himself.....

He could have been the most celebrated Nigerian president had he overhaul the whole military decree and nonsense called constitution.....



He was in power for 8 good years without and achievement other than continuous increase of fuel price.....


Papa vs pikin... who cares undecided
My thoughts exactly. He misused the opportunity to turn Nigeria away from military induced backwardness, actions, embezzlement, Social ills n so on. If he had used the 8years to at least lay a foundation for a new Nigeria, then subsequent governments would have had a blue print to follow but he just played politics with everything from his relationship with his VP to manipulation of state politics, open n out right stealing of public funds n even as far as his family (Gbenga,Gbenga's wife, Iyabo, Stella n his other numerous wives n their children)....Baba fall my hand abeg

How I wish this old man will keep quiet.
He is a chameleon.
Why would you continue to make Nigerians think you love them when it is always the opposite?
Is that not witchcraft?

1. People complained about our senators salaries
You obj used Ghana must go to take it to where it is today.
2. People complained about economy,
You obj killed power sector revolution by using 16 billion dollars to buy darkness on behalf of Nigerians.
3. People complained about electoral corruption,
You obj supervised the worst election since 1999 when IWUruwuru had no collation of presidential result at states, but allotted 24 millions votes to yar'adua who confessed election that brought him to power is massively flawed.
3. Political killings?
You obj supervised the demise of all opposition bigwigs, Dikibo, Harry Marshall, Bola Ige and 10 other bigwigs.
4. Infrastructures?
You gave Ibadan expressway to babalakin your boy, what has become of it today?
Abuja - Okene dualization awarded by OBJ's is not completed 16 years after awarded. Obj imposed both yar'adua and goodluck on Nigerians, so he's fully involved.
Please tell me a single mordern rail project OBJ started not to talk of completing. I have a video of Doyin okupe OBJ's spokesperson said we are not matured for high speed train when asked about upgrades of locomotive train system.

There's is no ills bedevilling our nation now that is not rooted in the evils planted by obj between 1999-2007 directly, and beyond 2007 indirectly.

OBJ should discuss more about the various abandoned projects during his 8 year administration. Lagos-ibadan, Ogbomosho-Ilorin, Benin-Ore, Ilorin-Mokwa-Jebba-Abuja, the power projects, etc.

A politician criticizing another politician is part of their games. I always ignore their words.

This is constructive criticism, what is the purpose of prioritising the Oshodi interchange at the expense of the critical Lagos Light Rail project. Ambode wanted a new project to steal funds.


Obasanjo also criticised Ambode of prioritising the construction of Oshodi bus interchange. The terminus was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari days before Ambode left office even though the project was not completed.

Obasanjo, a pot calling the kettle black! You abandoned Ibadan to Ilorin road midway; you couldn't complete Lagos-Ibadan road; your hometown, Abeokuta didn't feel any impact of your 8-year rule - you failed to complete the Abeokuta-Lagos road: still, you get mouth to criticise Ambode. Never seen anything like Obasanjo's grandstanding and hypocrisy in all my years, I tell you!

WHAT OF EX-PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN WHO FAILED TO COMPLETE THE EAST WEST ROAD THAT EVEN CONNECT HIS NATIVE BAYELSA STATE.

HE WAS BUSY WITH THE PLEASURE OF HIS OFFICE UNTIL THE TRICKISH HAUSA/FULANI ALIGNED WITH THE SOUTH WEST TO KICK HIS ASS FROM ASO ROCK VILLA.

For close to 6 years, ex-president Jonathan did not know what to do with power.

He was a confused person with so much money he was controlling at the federal level.

Now NDDC TREASURY has been emptied with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari ( rtd ) ordering a forensic audit to find out details of the looting.

Jonathan was BIG mistake. Unfortunately he was always destined to be President which makes his case even more pathetic. We answer for these things and your foolish supporters on earth won't be there

Nigeria is not rich. What Nigeria really needs now is to expand its economic base, we need to have more than 10 solid sectors firing all cylinders, i mean sectors that can employ a lot of people, instead of oil being d mainstay of our economy, build infrastructures from revenues from oil while building other sectors, invest in technical education, cut senators wage.... and we'll be alright.

Let me introduce you to service sector and its job growing potential.
When Lagos completes all its rail lines. Lagos would have completed the tourism corridor roads in Lekki.
Part of the rail network connects Fela's shrine, Ikeja GRA and potential tourist sites in Alausa.
Religious tourist destination at redeemed camp. There is a rail line shooting off towards Badagry with slavery heritage sites

I have just painted a conservative $10bn annual business for Lagos from tourism alone
Re: Obasanjo Criticizes Ambode For Abandoning Lagos Rail Project by NGpatriot: 7:26pm On Dec 28, 2019
OBJ, a failed leader and self righteous hypocrite, he awarded Lagos Ibadan rail project in 2006, but he refused to fund it and quickly abandoned the project, Jona too. The project stayed dead on the drawing board for 12 years.

Warri Itakpe rail project also was abandoned for 30 years and also throughout 8 years and 16 years of PDP presidencies.

Wike abandoned the monorail project in Rivers so what about that?
Useless hypocrite.

Ambode shouldn't have embarked on the Oshodi interchange before completing th the metro rail simply because of need, priority and capacity to address the huge traffic situation in the state.

Lagos State by now should be making billions per month to start paying back the loans and building other Major transportation infrastructures including the Oshodi interchange which is just motor park without any capacity to transport passengers.

Fact is, egotistical and shortsighted people like Ambode love to spend money on their own initiated projects just to shine and claim glory at the expense of lagosians.

He did the same thing with LAWMA, one of the most efficient and performing agencies in Nigeria and lost.

When they passed on the state's master plan to him, they did so for a reason, they gave him a road map, but his own ego and uselessness got the best of him and he rightfully lost.

Confused People,now that there OBJ they hated for good 3 years before he became there hero is now criticizing their Ambode ...what next for the hypocritical confused fella.


Don't bring Ndigbo into your foolishness. If you don't link Igbo into your mess you won't rest. You Yoruba's were the ones hailing Ambode and asking him to deal with Ndigbo post 2015 elections. I remember how you hailed him when he passed the Yoruba language to be compulsory in gaining admission from primary to university in Lagos state institutions. We don't forget easily.
Is the Ambode that ambadoned Badagry senatorial district, enforced the Iyaloja nonsense in Igbo dominant market or another Ambode. Or the Ambode that couldn't appoint any SE/SS into his cabinet?
Sanwo-Olu emergence as Governor is favourable to Ndigbo because of his liberalism. He has Fashola's attitude and carries everyone along. No wonder he won landslide in Igbo dominated areas.
So keep your tears to yourself. Cry me a river.
