Policewoman: When did the wife of the governor turn to a government official? Shame on Amaechi with his childish behaviour.

And why must government condole DPJ who is also not a government official anyway?

Fhemmmy: I think it is all about what you consider as begging, if they approach you and say something like "Oga how now, anything for the boyz?" i dont see that as begging, it is up to you to give or not . . . But if they are aggressive about it, it is a different story.

it is very embarrassing and bad , no matter how it is done.

"Spouses"? Is that the same as "domestic appendages"?

http://www.osundefender.org/?p=1169Obasanjo, The First ‘419’ President By SOS/Sonala Olumhense – Sahara Reporters
Columnist:Sonala Olumhense

As Time marches on, it becomes clearer just how tragic the presidency of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo really was. In a speech last week, he dismissed Nigerian leaders who were not good enough. Everyone but he.

And then he dismissed Nigerians for not finding him to have been exceptional. If Nigerians were yet to find a leader worthy of commendation after 53 years of independence, he declared, “Then we are jinxed and cursed; we should all go to hell.”

No, Chief, I humbly disagree. Only dishonest and unpatriotic leaders qualify for perdition.

Obasanjo was wielding his weapons in front of a captive crowd at the University of Ibadan. He cited as very bad boys such people as Atiku Abubakar, who served as Vice-President in his administration; Salisu Buhari, a certificate-forging former Speaker of the House of Representatives recently appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan into the Governing Council of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka; and former governors Bola Tinubu, Deprieye Alamieyeseigha, James Ibori and Lucky Igbinedion.

“Abacha, my predecessor got $750m. Through our lawyer in Switzerland we recovered $1.25bn and the lawyer still said there is probably still another $1bn to be recovered…”

Actually, Abacha was not Obasanjo’s predecessor, except perhaps in duplicity. In between them, in temporal terms, there was one Abdusallam Abubakar.

But Obasanjo, The Hypocrite, has no commitment to facts or to History. Not once, during his imperious History lesson last week, did he refer to the bad seeds he sowed or the waters he poisoned or the children he starved.

But his are the shark-infested waters in which we now sink, and for as long as he tries to write the history of Nigeria to suit his bloated ego, we must never tire of reminding the world of the true story. Here are just 10 elements:

Obasanjo, The Hypocrite, benefitted the most from the elections of 2003 and 2007, which local and international observers complained were rigged.

Obasanjo was his own Minister of Petroleum Resources throughout his tenure, without accountability, and it was during that watch that the dirty practices now being unveiled by various probe panes started.

In the famous case of Works Minister Tony Anenih, The Hypocrite complained he had budgeted N300 billion for roads during his first term, but he never asked “Mr. Fix-It” about the money.

Obasanjo saw no contradiction in using the Petroleum Trust Development Fund as his own ATM.
Obasanjo brags about recovering up to $2.5 billion from Abacha alone; he never says anything about how the money disappeared.

Obasanjo has not said one word about the injustice of Anambra’s horrendous Okija Shrine or the report of the federal high-level panel that he suppressed.

Obasanjo says nothing about the assassinations during his tenure that included the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Bola Ige.

Obasanjo says nothing about the Haliburton scandal, for which various reports have indicted him, or about his so-called “anti-corruption” agencies which only targeted his enemies.

Obasanjo’s economic reform, NEEDS, died within months of being launched, and he never mentioned it again.

Obasanjo spent between $10 and $16 billion under the ruse of an electricity scheme; some of those he paid allegedly did not even clear a patch of land.

All of this is despite his arriving in office in 1999 swearing he would be different. At his inauguration, he told Nigerians: “You have been asked many times in the past to make sacrifices and to be patient. I am also going to ask you to make sacrifices, and to exercise patience. The difference will be that in the past sacrifices were made and patience exercised with little or no results. This time, however, the results of your sacrifice and patience will be clear and manifest for all to see…I will give the forthright, purposeful, committed, honest and transparent leadership that the situation demands…”

Never has more sordid falsehood been uttered.

When the 2003 rigging was completed, he returned to the microphone at his inauguration and said, “I have repeatedly called for moral rectitude, and I will continue to repeat the message. I simply refuse to accept the cynical view that Nigerians prefer chaos to order. I cannot endorse the view that Nigerians are innately corrupt…We all have a stake in Enterprise Nigeria and each of us stands a better chance in getting optimum dividends if, instead of asking “What’s in it for me”, we ask “what’s in it for Nigeria…”

But Obasanjo, The Hypocrite, saw nothing wrong with establishing Transcorp and using it to enrich himself. He saw no contradiction in his cabinet approving money-making schemes for him.

Later, somebody asked General Victor Malu, a former Chief of Army Staff, to assess Obasanjo’s government. “In few words, it is the worst government that I have seen in this country,” the General replied. “And I am 58 years old. I have never seen a government that is so reckless in everything. It disrespects the wishes of the people, disobeys the rules or the constitution, disobeys court judgements, including the Supreme Court. I don’t think it has happened before.”

How insufferable was Obasanjo? In a speech at the 11th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja on June 1, 2005, he lamented that “past administrations fostered a culture of corruption and mistrust and thus encouraged undeserved stereotyped information and inaccurate judgments about [Nigerians] as a people and nation.” His government, he swore, would remain committed to creating “a culture of integrity, dignity, confidence and trust.”

But that was the very same day that his government approved seven new private universities from 145 applications. One of them: Obasanjo’s Bells University.

Obasanjo boisterously invokes such names as James Ibori, Tinubu and Igbinedion, but conveniently forgets that in 2006, he ignored a report he had commissioned and refused to prosecute 15 indicted governors, including those three.

The Hypocrite similarly forgets that his domestic aide, Andy Uba, used the presidential jet to launder hundreds of thousands of dollars, for which he was convicted in the United States.

Every objective evaluation demonstrates that Obasanjo is responsible for the kleptocracy that runs Nigeria today. What is even worse is that as a parting menace, he committed the greatest treason of all: handcuffing his country to a spineless, incompetent and compromised cabal he knew would asphyxiate it. And he turns around to blame it.

Still, The Hypocrite is right on one account: the Nigerian tragedy is also about followership. “If we talk about good leadership you should also talk about good followers,” he said.

Nigerians are atrocious followers. We are cowards and sycophants who would rather feed mud to our children than fight for the right to food. At the event, for instance, Vice-Chancellor Isaac Adewole shamelessly swallowed the baloney Obasanjo had just spilled all over Nigeria’s oldest university, and then questioned the nation’s political prospects in 2015.

Equally stunning, not one student was reported to have walked out, slamming doors in disgust.

Obasanjo is Nigeria’s first 419 leader, and he knows it. But he is counting on the Nigerian people, especially the youth, remaining too distracted or too scared to rise to their feet and say, emphatically and in unison: “NO,” “ENOUGH” and “NONSENSE!”

It is time. Our mumu don do!

Rossikk: You have no common sense. Anyone can 'achieve' seizing power illegally if he had a gun and enough lawless backers. That you call a 32 year old soldier seizing political power in a coup an 'achievement' shows your low IQ.

And Ojukwu failed and died a failure.

mens dept: So what does this picture show except for a man who joined to defeat what could have been a more promising group of countries controlled by Africans and not Queen Eliza.
He mismanaged the country's resources and stayed there for almost a decade before being booted out, and running back to his masters in London.
Nonsense

Shame on you !
Gowon did not mismanage the country.

Rossikk: Spare us this garbage. All I see is a 32 year old kid and his spouse who have no business being at the helm of a nation, but got there via the barrel of a gun. Nothing to celebrate.

Courtesy chukwuma Nzeugwu , emmanuel ifeajuna and other biafran brothers who started it all. We are still reaping the harvest of their evil deeds.

pDude: I will speak my opinion on this.

Islam is one of the worst things that happened to planet earth.

And you are far worse than that. You don't need any religion to have a revolution.

There was no cause for apology. Time and place verify that events actually happened . It happened in Switzerland and she should name the shop as well.

That Monkey OBJ is the cause of 80% of the problems.

Kamsy10: Yerima spirit in action. God punish them. 14 years!!!!! disgusting
I still cant figure how Yerma and his brothers do this on a daily basis to underage children.

Yerima will at least claim marriage and parent's consent. These basstards in the south, corner little girls and molest them in gangs . They shamelessly claim to be priests.

lightoftruth: no mind them all this na envyness they cause all these..... Why won't the yorubas envy the igbos ...... Just early this year and igbo boy bought a #25 million land in ondo and built a massive shopping mall just last week the ondo youth are threating to burn down the place if he did not give them their entitlement ....

Drug courier business sometime pays and that's how some people can buy #25 million land and nobody asks how they made that money. With Enugu airport now going international , the sky is the limit for that ethnic group, just avoid Malaysia and china.

tosene: Is he still a bricklayer or why call him that?

No, he is a drug courier.

pDude: Ok. So because of Salah hols, she couldn't be flown out

So our lives will all be held to ransom because of some holiday that I really don't see the purpose of?

Nigeria is really moving backwards

Holiday or no holiday hospitals are part of emergency services and they work 24 hrs a day everyday. Air flights and air ambulances work every day for the same reason.
Find another excuse not holiday please.

Chinwem: All these fine guys are gay?
What a pity

Yea it's a shame .

babyosisi: Any Igboman that fails to vote for GEJ should be castrated ozugbo
Cha pu ya akpa amu immediately

What about igbo women?

Drug couriers galore , international flights at door step!

Some have committed suicide . I don't see some of the prominent names on NL anymore. Especially those supporting injustice and incompetence .

"....and a vigilante group is set up to find the criminals. " There is no effective police, even in the President' s own state, is governance through vigilante venerable thugs.

Policewoman: Reminds me of when i once apprehended a suspect by holding onto his boxers

You held only the boxers? Sure?

raystanley: Dear, he should have gone for another Widow or Divorcee not to his friends mother...

Where did it say that the 2 men were friends? I missed that.

angelcj: That was the diagnosis of a doctor in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, presented at the trial of a 15-year-old teen girl, who was accused of violating the country's harsh Islamic law against sēx outside marriage.

What caught my attention was the description of " harsh Islamic law against sex outside marriage " . Apparently other religions think it's okay for people young and old to fornicate and have adultery anytime they want.

payless: I know a lot of Hausas. Atiku Bagudu and Bello Bagudu are rich Hausas and they behave like that. I know these two very well and I know others too up to the palace of Emir of Zauzau. So many other Hausas do the same thing. They just happen to live a very simple life. Show me where I insulted Hausas. Tell me if what I said about wearing leather slippers and walking around without shoes are not true. It wasn't an insult. It is just saying the obvious. May be I should not have included dog in my statement.

But the dog is you. How can you escape from your self - son of a b*ch. ? copy copy cat wearing covered leather shoes in bed even at a soaring tropical temperature of 38-40 degrees Celsius.

PROMINENT50: Lol.

And this post is not hidden!

@OP
" .....there is too much at stake for anyone to begin to INSIGHT the Igbo community against their hos state "

The word is "INCITE" please. "Insight " is a totally different word. : All these illiterate journalists. They annoy me.

It's about time somebody did that. That trial needs to be reopened.

Can Keyamo succeed where the Pope fails? The Pope says he cannot judge them Homos ; .

Child bride mainly in the North
Child torture mainly in the south

There is much more ... Uncovered or just ignored by the uncaring society called Nigeria.

foleyx: its sad that we live in a crazy country where no matter how idiotic some peoples actions r they will always hav sick supporters as long as d idiot adds a religious angle to his depravity. first its yerima and his adolescent wife now an emir is now so caring 4 d new converts(especially young beautiful ladies) that she must practice her new found religion in the royal bedroom and some sick people do not see anything wrong with this. what is wrong wit u people

I think you are among the very sick . It is clear from this interview the young lady has made up her mind to convert to Islam and she did. Her main problem now is her security as she has threats from her very intolerant father who could be violent.

sirugos: RIP. No igbo man was among them. We make use of our brain in a tight situations.

Yes Ojukwu was in a tight situation. He used his cowardly brain to escape to Ivory Coast .
