If we can have the continuity like baba obasanjo did. Nigeria would have been a better county by now.

best democratically elected president in Nigeria ever. He's not lying.
How?because what I knew about this man was that he wielded enough power (the most powerful president in Africa)and had enough resources during his regime,but instead of using all these to better the lives of the masses,he misused the great opportunity.


Just one example of how he ruined the country through his useless policy was monetization of politics, he introduced what we Yoruba's called 'gbemu, owo inu saka'.All money meant for infrastructures were shared by them,imaging a councillor collecting 500kplus on record as at early 2000 and a lot were shared off record.This man and his thieving gang had eaten the future of unborn Nigerians and that is how it will be going till eternity because he has laid bad precedent.


Just visit some small Africa countries and see how this man ruined Nigeria interms of infrastructures.

“The point you must bear in mind is that this country can be a great country. We have everything to make this country great. And that is what always worries me. When you see what we can do, how to do it, and we are not doing it. That is really unfortunate.

“Can we get there? I believe we can. All we need is one generation of consistency in leadership, we will be there. That is what we need. We need one generation of right leadership consistently.

Very True. Just 4 right Presidents given 8-Year Mandate (2 Terms) each in succession is all we need for Nigeria to truly become the Leader/Giant/Pride of Africa and a Global Destination in general, sought after by many.

Dear God, when will this time be if your plan is for this country to remain as one entity and who are these Future Presidents?

How about your third term failed interest? Saint OBJ we salute you o...if u had done exactly like you are saying, why didn't we become like Singapore under Lee Kwan Yew. You think you are talking to children who wear pampers? Nonesense.
Third term would have been better than the terms of Goodluck Jonathan and President Buhari combined

Ok, so on a scale of 1-100, how bad is he when compared to what we have now?
the only issue a lot of people see with OBJ was his third term agenda, really? Does that equate to the present corruption or fulanization of the nation that we can see in many phases in Nigeria today? OBJ is still a saint compared to many who had and still are ruling us. QED

exactly,he laid the wrong foundation

Wrong foundation? Lol. For someone who dislikes Obasanjo's excesses as I person, I find myself in the uncomfortable position of having to repeatedly defend him because folks like you ignore facts for sentiments. Well, because you mentioned "foundation", here are the foundations he put in place. Tell me how they are "wrong":

1. Communications foundation: GSM, opening the sector and proper regulatory framework
2. Corruption: EFCC and ICPC, both Obj
3. Pensions: Created current pension system from scratch.
4. Health insurance: anytime you or your folks use NHIS, know Obj created from scratch.
5. Financial: massive banking reforms and cleared our debt at a scale not before achieved by any country.
6. Power: despite all the hate, 16 billion never disappeared. This is part of what that money got, which the succeeding governments left in the ports https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/10/we-recovered-690-containers-of-electricity-equipment-abandoned-at-port-says-fashola/ . By the way, ask anyone who knows anything about Power, and he will tell you that the Obj government set the entire foundation of the current power system.

In every one of the areas I listed, all governments after him have depended at least 80% on structures/institutions that Obj put in place, that never existed before him.

ps:this list is not exhaustive cos I am busy, and little time this morning.

So abuse him for being a crook or a philanderer if you like, but NEVER in your life say he laid the wrong foundation in place. My 2 cents.

Baba u don old now at your age you still dey lie, if you did something for the best interest of Nigeria why is your farm on the federal government pay roll, the acres of land acquired by you at ibeshe is for who and what purposes... yet you claim not for your selfish interest.
what can you even point at that you did for all the years you spent in office even the road that leads to your farm house was renovated by your successors....

His 3rd-agenda to be life president and all personal motives violating and destructive of the rule of law, justice, fairness and equity are all there in history to prove him wrong... He is a big shame to Africa. Public corporations privatization lootings ad de-iodustrialization of Nigdria(ns) to break down the middle class and pauperise them is there among several other ones.Shameless man who can only kill defenceless colleagues and civilians but has nover won any battle in wars he commanded...
