Why is it that Nigerians always praise their past leaders once they leave office, today when one talk about Late President Yar'Adua, next thing you will hear is; he was the best thing that happened to Nigeria, talk of Obasanjo, he was also the best, Goodluck Jonathan, you will hear things like he was better off compared to what we have now....soon Buhari will join the league of best presidents Nigeria has produce under democracy regime....then the next will be called all kinds of names once he starts to rule.

Yar'Adua is a very weak man and he's allowing Obasanjo to control him. Why is he allowing this? because of the shoddy April polls which he obviously did not win. OBJ brought him in through the back door, and Yar'Adua knows that if he cut loose from OBJ today, he will lose those cases pending against him and he will be thrown out of office.

Obasanjo was the main problem with Nigeria for eight years, and he's still the problem today. Let anybody challenge me on this statement, in fact I intend to start a thread on this.

Now if only selfish people like Muhammadu Buhari, Ojukwu, etc would withdraw their cases from the election tribunal maybe that would give Yar'Adua the infusion of courage he needs to sack Obasanjo completely.

But again, maybe Umaru Yar'Adua would simply substitute the Northern Mafia for OBJ. And the Northern oligarchy we all know have never had Nigeria's best interests at heart. Yar'Adua is not a good politician. He should have started building his own political base by now by putting his own people into strategic positions. Most his key men today were foisted on him by OBJ.

I think Nigerians deserves a better deal than this cowardly man is giving us.

Are you sure about this, so many Nigerians and their families benefited from abacha's regime which I'm sure of....

[quote author=floss post=98838259][/quote]
Are you one of their beneficiaries.? I m not one though

It will never happen to the man called Buhari

No body will ever praise Buhari, No body ever praised Abacha. Umaru musa was the Only president Determined To make things work, He was hated by his own people for Trying to Bring peace and equity to the Nation, Goodluck Jonathan lacked the qualities of a leader he wasnt Harsh he wasn't Tough for the Job.
