lol. GEJ must have wake alot of sleeping nigerians up.

I think Obj carries the vote any day not because he has the most good intensions but because he was and continues to be fortunate.His achievements speaks volumes.Another fortunate great man is Abdulsalami Abubakar.The other man is Buhari.Buhari is a better man than Obasanjo but lacks the credentials.For example he was a coup plotter while Obasanjo ascended without coup.Buhari never handed over to civilian not because he did not have the intensions but his stay in power was short.Obasanjo has ruled Nigeria for 11 years and I don't believe anyone is going to break that record soon.

In conclusion Obasanjo and Buhari are like Kanu and Okocha(football wise).Kanu's credentials are overwhelming while Okocha played with higher skills and  potentials and few credentials.

i wish he had 3rd term, truely africa cant grow with short leadership tenure, its not our way of life check our pre colonial history

Definitely not.

there is nothing to debate about this. obasanjo is the most achieving president nigeria ever had. i cant talk of the future but for now he is still the best. ask your old people at home they will confirm it, unless they are daft like you. no comments.

[color=][/color][color=#006600][/color] well, the truth is, if u hate him, name another who has achieved better than him. And if u like him, good luck. Like i'll say, his strategic plans single handedly won nigeria the civil war. And if u think of replying me, check your ass in the mirror, if it aint round you win. If it does, you're a fool cos u aint then better, than i am.

@ Gbenge 77 (m) and the like

Please, be matured here. If OBJ is not, who then is? Mention a name and DONT JUST SAY HE IS NOT. SOMEONE MUST BE. However the argument is not that OBJ is the MOST PERFECT PRESIDENT BUT , ,

Greatest Nigerian! , offend him and see. he does not forgive, just saying, if Gani Fawehinmi were to be alive i'd have gone for him.

By choosing obj all you guys are categorically saying is that failure is the only option and that knowledge cannot be sought to be able to differentiate between good and bad.That the truth must not be told.

In 1979 he gave power to north,ppl called him betrayer now he returned the power to south ppl still stay lots of things, what nigerians want from baba iyabo No perfect human beign in d world.north n westerner are d termites of this nation,knowlegeable ppl know that,and what had spoiled in 50yrs back can never be done in one year,truly obj made some mistakes but he had good intension to change things but his sub-ordinate which most are norther betrayed him. Nigerians can never be satisfy. Let God come down n rule us,we will definately complain.

Obj is one of the greatest plagues mankind has ever known.The testomonies of his atrocies are all boldly written in the blood of african children,mothers and fathers that perished-perishing as a direct result of his iniquities for all that can SEE to SEE.

WTH is OBJ?
Bells University?
No petroleum minister?
Library project?
Ota farm?
16billion for darkness?
Bola Ige, Dikibo were murdered?
Zaki biam and odi mass massacre abi na community cleansing?
Sleeping with other people's wives?
Sleeping with his son's wife?
No known project except GSM?


For now OBJ is a bloody criminal, killer and imbe/cile.

Gsm came to nigeria when communication has gone global with little or no cost.

The communication companies needs the untouched, large and emerging nigerian market to make money and from all indications most of the big communication companies operating in nigeria are all foreign owned.

[size=18pt]People are not decieved by Obasanjo's paid praise singers on Internet Forums, they have multiple IDs and all jump into this type of thread in a co-ordinated way, saying Obasanjo is the greatest ,  but not explaining how he is the greatest. [/size]

Learn about Obasanjo's time in power - He was a disaster for Nigeria.

Akanbi_edu:

This is what the super-monkey, OBJ, has always wanted. To be seen as the greatest.

That's why he installed Shagari and Yar'adua inspite of the latter's health challenges.

I thank God Nigerians exist who still understand that we should not be praising abject mediocrity because of how our mentality is now largely bastardized due to extreme poverty and grossly unacceptable underdevelopment. Is it not commical folks talk about GSM as an achievement of OBJ when, at the time we deregulated our telecom sector, many African countries already had GSM technology as standard? If a man has never eaten lean meat, why will he not proclaim lard as the best form of animal protein available?

It's kinda interesting how an average Yoruba person thinks these days! Really!

[size=18pt]Let me add to your list of Obasanjos's "achievements"  

No petroleum minister - so he had full control of Oil Revenue - over $150 billion unaccounted for

Library project? - Has a Library in his name which cost billions of Naira

Ota farm - He admitted his farm was earning approx N10billion Naira every month within months of taking office

16billion for darkness - budgetted $16 billion or N4 trillion with nothing to show for it. He looted the money

Bola Ige, Dikibo were murdered?

Zaki biam and odi mass massacre - entire villages massacred - thousands of innocent people massacred by his orders.

Introduced a constitution which allowed many states to adopt Sharia Law which in turn led to over 10,000 deaths from religous violence.


Introduce a consitution which gave public official immunity from prosecution whilst they are in office looting.

Abolished the Petroleum Trust Fund wich was set up by Abacha to improve Infrastructure.

Improverished Nigerians  by devaluing the Naira 500%   (yes - five hundred percent!  )

Mismanaged and looted Nigeria Airways causing it to collapse.

Privatised (sold off) many state industries and has not account for trillions of Naira from these proceeds

He gave away our Nigerian  land - Bakassi


He hiked fuel prices approx 500% and deceived Nigerians by calling the price hike subsidy removal - when fuel was never subsidised

Even if you do not like the man, try not to show your bias too much. It is too glaring. All these things you have listed are childish talk and beer parlour talk. It doesnt even need reply. Try and be more intelligent when you post.

I just wish i could gently massage objs neck.
Baba were. Oniku re.oloshi man.

Most of you are even judging OBJ by his most recent achievements in the past decade, you forget that without Obasanjo, Nigeria would have been one of those African countries wallowing in perpetual civil war. When even the Head of State was not willing to take decisive action, and Murtala Muhammed had gotten fed up, Obasanjo led the men, and even took some unilateral decisions that brought the war to an end.

I'm certain if he really is the greatest Nigerian of all time, but he most likely is.

OBJ for sure will forever remain Nigeria`s best president, if not for anything, at least he wrestled and removed power from those who believed power was there birthright
he will remain my hero, i have never met him in person, his records are speaking loud for him, let face fact, if you believe his is not the greatest name your person and hi light his or her achievement for all to see.

Who remember Nigeria Airways?

Guess who was responsible for its collapse at a time of record high oil revenue?


Obasanjo the worst leader Nigeria has ever seen

Thank you olusegun obasanjo for your contribution to nigeria development.

Lets ask ourselves 'who is perfect'. Obj is a man lik u. He has his strenght nd weakness. D truth is bitter. Obj is d only sensible, patriotic and detribalized nigerian. Take it or leave it

^^his hired praise singers work hard oh!!!

[size=18pt]13 September, 2000 - BBC News
Nigeria ranked most corrupt country in the world; last year before Obasanjo took office, Nigeria was only 27th most corrupt[/size]
Nigeria has been ranked as the most corrupt country in the world.
An annual survey carried out by the Berlin-based Transparency International (TI) also grouped Angola, Cameroon, Kenya and Mozambique among the top 10 most corrupt.

The damning report was released as the Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo made an official visit to Britain pressing for reduction of the country's huge debts.

Is it not the same Obasanjo that FELA sang about? Is it that some people have a problem of memory loss? All the suffering was not enough? Don't worry when JONA finish with una, body go tell you.

Obasanjo's Ota Farm was only industry that prospered during his leadership

He is definitely the worst thing that ever happened to Nigeria closely followed by Odechukwu Retardeen
