I remenbered that the honourable people in the 3rd senate led by Chief Ken Nnamani saved Nigeria your 3rd term ambition. If that was not personal agenda,your victimization of Lagos state and denying them of their funds even after the supreme court has given judgement in their favour was a personal agenda and vendetta.

A Story of Three Friends:

Between 1976 and 1979 late Gen. Shehu Musa Yar'adua who was Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters and Gen. Theophilus Danjuma who was Chief of Army Staff cut a large chunk of the 'national cake' behind the then Head of State Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo who busy with day-to-day governance.

Soon after handover to civilian government in 1979, Danjuma started a shipping company, Nigeria America Lines, Yar'adua started Hamada Holdings and Obasanjo became a poultry farmer. Shortly after, while Obasanjo struggled financially, Danjuma and Yar'adua blossomed 'magically' making Obasanjo to look like a dunce.

Thus when Obasanjo had second bite at the cherry as civilian president from 1999 to 2007, he did not fool around. He subtly took a generous cut of the national cake and then used a number of known young entrepreneurs like Tony, Femi, Aliko, etc. to "secure the bag", making sundry robust investments. This is why he boldly stands up to successive sitting presidents and junkets around the globe attending events of interest and living large.
Till a plus to Baba do you know that this 3 people are part of the people sustaining Nigeria Economy?the change Obj brought via soludo is what we are enjoying now

That’s a big lie!

OBJ took over when Nigeria needed an incredible leader the most and when Nigerians all around the country were willing to come together as one.

OBJ started very well and surely accomplished a lot, but we must not forget that he fumbled towards the end Of his time in the office. He allowed his ego, greediness and vindictive personality to crumble all he had worked for. He planted a sick president and an incompetent shoeless Vice President, all for his personal interest. Though, eventually things didn’t workout in his favor as planned, however, Goodluck Jonathan became the president and that dug us further into the shiiit hole.
Today, Nigeria is still in the process of recovering from Jonathan’s severe leadership failure...And OBJ is clearly responsible.

He knows most Nigerians have 2kb of memory space.

The only Nigerian president that erected a Presidential library in his name while still in office.

We won't talk about the 16BILLION DOLLARS meant for electricity which disappeared without trace.

And we won't mention the Ghana-must-go bags distributed to the National Assembly members to help with his third term agenda.

No, we won't mention the rigging of various elections in the country during his time to help perpetuate him in government.

Just as we won't mention the killing he and members of the National Assembly made when GSM was just being introduced to Nigeria.

A man who just came out of prison, penniless and straight to presidency suddenly became the richest African president barely 8 years after.
Don't be a dunce! There was never a 16billion dollars spent on power in Nigeria. Don't reason with ur anus Mr zombie.

3rd term was national interest.
Re: Obasanjo: As President I Didn't Pursue Personal Interests by emmnprince(m): 2:33pm On Jul 14, 2020
We know you didn't pursue self-interest when you were President as you claimed but you aggressively and vigorously pursued the amassment of wealth, your BIG frenemies, who refused to dine with you to the end, and one more term when your two-term was about to end, to mention but three among many others!

Stupid liar! OBJ is still the only chimpanzee to have ruled a country in Africa! He was an all round failure.
Re: Obasanjo: As President I Didn't Pursue Personal Interests by Nobody: 7:31pm On Jul 14, 2020
OBJ is my best president, I knew him when I was young, I saw him on TV a lot and he exhibited every quality a leader should have, he was dominant, knew his cards well, knows how to carry himself, knows how to talk, he was widely respected in the international community if u doubt that, ask George bush or David Cameron and the others, OBj failed in things like electricity, corruption and roads, but he was flawlessly excellent in international diplomacy, security, telecommunications, debt servicing, payment of salaries, pensions, house mortgaging, airports, NDDC, protection of human rights, freedom of speech, Free press and journalism, free movement of persons, all our freedom of rights to life and properties was guaranted under OBJ, Naira to dollar was at a good rate, any good things u see in Nigeria is because of obasanjo, I have no doubt in my mind that obj should have been recycled and made like Putin in Nigeria, cos I've noticed the problem we have in Nigeria is inconsistency in quality leadership, when we find a good leader like OBJ we shouldn't let him go and If we land a bad one, we should quickly show him d way out of d door, OBJ is like d Lee kuan yew of Singapore , I liked when that person that mentioned that said so, OBJ is the best president Nigeria ever has and has had, electricity, corruption, lack of transparency and accountability, election rigging was the areas he failed woefully, but his failures can't be compared to the Himalayan colossal disaster of buhari's govt, u don't mention OBJ and PMB in d same breath, one is an international respected individual and the other is heavily disliked by d international community and isn't respected to any degree possible
