How has it justified the present? We don't live in the past Nasir, except He wants to come back and contest in 2027. If not. Let the arrogant man remain in the past.

I said this days back and people with sense agreed with me with some agbado people beating around the bush and cursing their parents..

Even from his first term he did excellently well. His cabinet are the best till date

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala
Nasir El-rufai
Late Remi Oyo
Late Dora Akunyile
Nuhu Ribadu
Chuwemeka chikelu. A very and highly cerebral information minister who was so quiet the media reported him most times he doesn't even go out with his Aides and security
Charles Soludo. The turnaround of the banking industry is solely at his feet

OBJ brought these names and many more never before heard in the political history of Nigeria in 1999.

When It took Buhari 6months to appoint ministers,one of my very good friends were supporting it. By the time the useless Man brought out his list,it was the same set of useless people we have always known so why the delay? Bulabalu even took it further by just giving food to his boys.

The Nigerian middle class grew under him
Civil servants were living well and large. Our debts were paid after he got a debt relief for us

Ask these wayres wetin them do,they will be blabbing and beating around the bush

Useless entities. undecided
Walahi civil servant became a big thing under Obasanjo, all of a sudden everybody want civil service job. Na for buhari time people start hate 8-5 because of the worthless salaries...
I wish Obj did his 3rd term even 4th term self..
He would have built strong institutions and economy that even a money spender like buhari wouldn't have damage significantly....

Nigeria economic downturn started from yaradua but people didn't notice because of our strong reserve and yaradua short lived tenor, if Yaradua had done 2 term Nigeria for don bad, GEJ try prop it small but buhari scattered it all....
Most northerners do not know how to grow the economy all they just want to do is spend money on socialist tendencies.

No 25 years

Obasanjo that nearly sold the entire nation

Sold the entire nation to who? A president that relieved Nigeria off its debt and also grew our external reserves. Every president that came after him did not only plung the nation into serious debt but also left with little or no foreign reserve.
Which of them can you compare to OBJ?

Stop celebrating mediocriority. obasanjo served himself not the country. No one has taken nigeria out of the wood since Yakubu Gowon era. Nigeria has been moving round same vicious circle. obasanjo damaged almost everything in the country before he left, most importantly the refineries. He started monitisation agenda for everything in this country.
You mean the refineries were working in 1999.

Obj is by far the best president in terms of economy and national coexistence.His only shortcoming as president is his adoption of do or die politics in his second term.

On that's what Nigeria needs. Obj understand that it was for our own good that's why he made it do or die,
Kigame of Rwanda, Lee kwan yun of Singapore, XI jinping of China, Mohdi of India non of this men spend less than 8yrs, most spend more than 20yrs to implement succesive and stable policies and built strong institutions. That's what Obj tried to do, he should have spent nothing less than 20yrs, Nigeria would have been far better than it actually was, we would have hit 1trn dollars gdp. But politics got the better of us. Like Obj said maybe democracy isn't best suited for us at this time.

El rufai is right here, we need consistent long term planning if possible with same president!
Tinubu is giving the vibe of who knows what he's doing, I don't mind him doing 20yrs to built strong institutions, it's someone like buhari you'll remove after 4yrs.

If Nigeria wants to go back to her glorious years, they should make okonji the minister of finance and make soludo the CBN governor.

Use the subsidy money to build at least two refineries..

Give loan and grants to farmers.

We need to export other things apart from oil.


This is simple.

I don’t support Tinubu but there’s no way u can compare him with the clueless Buhari...man put us in this mess!

kettykin:
The credit goes to Obasanjo rightly but behind the scenes were some egg heads who came up with fiscal and monetary policies that grew the economy. Ngozi okonjo iweala came up with fiscal policies while soludo came up with monetary policies that grew Nigeria's economy from a the backwoods to the the fire front of the world's best 25 economies.

I still think Obasanjo should be consulted if Nigeria wants to get out of the woods that buhari has plunged it into

The Disaster Buhari should have never smelled Presidency, but for Tinubu's politics of propaganda against GEJ.

After that, Yar'adua and Jonathan followed suit,but it came to APC,they destroyed the spirit of oneness, cohesion and one Nigeria. And took Nigeria to tribal and regional economy of where one region can tell others without Lagos no one can survive as if they are surviving themselves.



Very TRUE! 👍👍

UNDER OBASANJO
*Frank Nweke Jnr
*Femi Fani Kayode
*Ngozi Omonjo Iweala, etc.🙂

UNDER JONATHAN
Dora Akinyuli.
Labaran Maku
Diezani Allison Madueke
Etc😊

But Buhari came and gave the Likes of Audu Ogbeh, Rotimi Amaechi, Fashola, Lai Mohammed, Aregbesola
And the Worst of all, ADAMU ADAMU as Ministers.😯😕😒

The Useless APC party is Designed to FAVOUR only Yoruba Muslims and Hausa/FULANI people.😕

Yes,As humans we are not perfect. His using Yaradua who he thought won't steal and it was the truth. Yaradua was one of the least corrupt Govornors we ever had in Nigeria.

Dude just wanted to retire and go back to teaching in class before Obasanjo took him and GEJ. But Yaradua was a socialist and not a capitalist like Obasanjo

However, Yaradua started the process of a better INEC when he accepted the fact in public that the election that brought him into power wasn't perfect and flawed

Thank God someone is saying it

Yaradua might have a good heart and want to share money to the poor. But good heart doesn't grow the economy. Nigeria need an elrufai, Atiku or Sanusi that period.

Same way Zulum will be a disaster if he should take over

We are not a poor country We should not be afraid of debt. Our resources if well harnessed will consume any debt. How much is America owing or even our Dangote ? We have what can deal with any amount of money owed anywhere.
What obasanjo and iweala did on debt relief wasnt special or brainy but unnecessarily over dramatised.
Nigeria in brainy and good hands is a bride to the world.
