Now obj fought corruption? Was it During Obj's tenure dat he was convicted? Did Obj prosecute any corrupt yoruba politician durin his tenure? I gues u knw d answer.

maestroz:
while i feel OBJ descended abysmally to a state that was least expected of a former ruler on whose fortune he ran the govt of this country, i feel the messenger shouldn't be condemned rather the message he tried conveying should be thorughly examined for corrections.

OBJ has come hard on the present government in power and has raised vital reasons of note that concerns the common man. it saddens me when PDP led government potrays during campaign that all is well with campaign gimmicks that our country is the best in africa with least impact on the fortunes of the common man even in the face of insecurity and massive corruption that may kill Nigeria in the words of GMB. The PDP led government has suddenly turn itself to an opposition party with renewed propagandas targeted at GMB despite been in power even as many make clamour for change. There has been unwarranted name callings and tantrums of late.

If GEJ were proud of his achievements, he should come on air or social media with his achievements to boost his chances for re-election. his advisers have done him more harm than good in selling him. he shouldn't be the one clamouring for a debate from the opposition even as i condemn the non participation of the opposition.

Campaigns should be issue based and this name callings must stop because as soon as elections are over, cross carpeting would always be.

GEJ should strongly consider the reasons for the grieviance of ebora owu and see how he can best lead this nation if given another chance even though Obasanjo can't be exonerated from the mess this country has gotten into.

Obasanjo remains the greatest asset of the PDP till date. All GEJ had been doing within the last six years have been embellishments of all what Obasanjo administration started while in collaboration with Diezani, who has appointed and sacked 5NNPC MD's in 5years, concentrated on looting the nation dry through income diversion and crude oil sales. Given their occupation of the National Income pipe, they allowed their PDP goons a widespread space for internal corruption and looting.
OBJ's PDP gave Nigeria GSM and brought telephone for the poor that was previously for the rich according to David Mark in the early 90s, OBJ structured the payment of our national debts in excess of $45billion from the little average crude Oil prices of less than $80 per barrel, even when crude prices fell to $9.00 per barrel during the OBJ's administration, our exchange rate was not affected negatively, OBJ introduced EFCC, Improved Nigeria's International image after the killing of Saro Wiwa, made fuel available without subsidy corruption, Started the commercialisation of Nepa to PHCN and paid 25% funds out of the fake $16billion scam through Dr Iweala which was now commissioned by GEJ as his project, started the Cassava for bread initiative and other agric projects and the reactivation of the Rails,created massive employment in banking communication, gas, oil manufacturing etc, gave Nigeria a vibrant middle class with improved banking with car leases and other structured products and the capital market prior to the global depression which was better managed by Professor Soludo,dealt with the Sharia riots with wisdom which eventually showed the foolishness of its Northern sponsors and many others.
OBJ singularly supported GEJ to be President when the Northerners wanted to deprive him of the position while Chief Anenih and all the present PDP backers and GEJ himself ran for cover when the military brought Yaradua back in the NIGHT. OBJ single-handedly used his money to visit Saudi Arabia to see the incapacitated Yaradua and confronted the North and supported that Nigeria can only be one when individuals from every zone, could have access to the number one position in the land. OBJ's fight with GEJ is due to the unpardonable looting by the GEJ group.
We must give credit to GEJ for building and extending on OBJ's programmes with the relative application of his education. This the Northern cabal wanted to work against, through the instigation of Yaradua to rubbish Baba OBJ's programmes. GEJ did more with the Nigerianisation of the oil sector. Most of his partially successful programmes such as roads, bridges and health were by SureP which came about as a result of the subsidy riot. One is then tempted to ask the Ministers, what their yearly budgets were expended upon and Diezani about the 3 refineries she promised will be on stream in three years. Stealing and Corruption Incorporated while their is massive poverty and unemployment in the land, youth induced crime
OBJ tried his best to assist GEJ but the latter had greed on his mind. OBJ singularly went to meet the family of the Boko Haram leader at the risk of his life and later advised GEJ, knowing fully well that GEJ's failure will be ascribed to him. GEJ responded that he is not a General or King David when Baba warned him to deal decisively with Boko Haram, at their initial stages. Baba also talked about the official stealing of crude and the diversion of our national patrimony. GEJ and his cohorts came out to abuse the old man. Nigerians have now vindicated OBJ with the very terrible state of the Government finances with exchange rate as high as N213 to a US dollar from N155 within 3 months.
In one of our discussions with a Nigerian Brigadier General in New York, he postulated that the present military is different from the military of the 80s and 90s. The reason he gave is that the youthful soldiers are all on the internet and that when he sent one his junior orderlies to sensitise on their refusal to confront Boko Haram. The Orderly was told that the Soldier boys were not ready to fight for a country with such official leadership stealing and looting.
In sum, GEJ's second term would have been a cup of tea had GEJ capitalised on his Goodwill by working genuinely for the Nigerian people. A million OBJ's would not have been able to stop him for a second term. GEJ has a right to change his mind if he had performed and not looted.

The APC is a not better in terms of corruption because corruption is corruption whatever the guise since they say theirs was restricted to percentages on projects. Tinubu's is more scientific as he does contracts with his Governments and also earns professional fees on his tax services. This is however much better than stealing from the National income like our Ogas at the TOP.

The APC heard the yearnings of the masses and was smart enough and discovered that the only way to reach Nigerians was to look for that hard incorruptible Nigerian in the person of a Buhari to save the nation. Buhari is like a Tiger when corruption is involved because he could end up eating any of his riders. Even OBJ acknowledged it to some people that he does not believe that Buhari would not arrest him if he should cross the corruption line. OBJ tore his card to remove the PDP leprosy mark on his body.PDP is therefore finished even GEJ knows it himself.

In sum, when Nigeria had Global problems in 1999, a General in the person of OBJ was brought out from prison to rescue Nigeria. Nigeria today is on the brink and Nigeria needs an incorruptible General before corruption kills the nation and the exchange rate rises top N1,000 to one US dollar. Had Idiagbon being alive today, there would have been no Buhari.

Jokay07:
well, truth be told, if the remaining pdp members can be united and swim against the tide, bet it, they are going to be stronger than before. Apc won't last long with the likes of Tinubu , Atiku and obasanjo. Apc was not founded a as real opposition party, real opposition party in the sense that, it comprises anti-jonathan's government and lack political ideology. How can you talk about change when the people that would bring the change are either adamant dictators or political thieves. A party without common ideology. Apc is a party created by people who are not only greedy but people who are bastardly thirsty for central power and desperate to taste national power. Obasanjo and Tinubu can get together, two rams with huge horns can drink water in the same container. You can imagine, is it possible for Tinubu, obasanjo and Atiku to go together? Yes we are tired of Pdp but the current dispensation of Apc is not the option to choose.. I see Apc as a flour which can be blown away when exposed to wind. Apc is not change but the second version of Pdp. We need New people that will bring new ideas.

ransomed:
Some Nairalanders have short memory of events. I hate violence in all ramifications and i say without mincing words that ALL political parties use youth to unleash mayhem. Remember Port Harcourt shooting, Okrika office bombing. People shouting here will do worst stuff if given huge amount of money. Let us refrain from evil and work together in peace for the good of our land. Thanks.

amakenny:
Chicago, Oluwole and Maza Maza Certificate holders of APC, first condemn violence before you think of a foolish Nigerian majority to vote you into Aso Rock.

mrrock:
One pattern that keeps emerging is, Buhari is a sponsor of terrorism. His followers are terrorists. South west una don enter one chance bus with boko haram.

coldFLARES1:
Mr Jonathan ain't clueless after all. He is a manipulative man filled with sinister intentions for this country. First, he fended off everybody with an intention to run against him, in his party and emerged as their consensus candidate; then DSS started acting his scripts; then the IGP; then the military authorities, when they started embarrassing GMB and now a threat that they would not provide security should the elections go on.
Anyways, didn't the ruling in Sokoto declare that soldiers should not be deployed for the purpose of elections? I am actually waiting for the police and civil defence to issue their warning of non-availability should elections take place next week.

phlemzy:
Tit is it from that pix dat u estimated the worth of dat handbag to be $15000 or the same friend of urs that knows Ajimobi's daughter also knows buhari's daughter? Jst asking.

Stop all these "Igbo-Victim-mentality" joor!
Igbos too need to "look in the mirror" instead of pointing fingers of blame at others, for their political failures.

For every Igbo that have failed Politically, you have another Igbo man behind his failure.
From Zik of Africa, to Ojukwu, to Ekwueme, to Nwobodo, just name it and you cant trace his failure to an Hausa or Yoruba man, ....but to his fellow Igbo man.


Again, look at what is going on in the current dispensation viz-a-viz support for a "failed project"....and tell me honestly whether you see an Igbo President in 2019 or 2023?

Truth hurts but only "friends" tell friends the Truth.

Lastpage!

LANREFORWA:
Just be careful of mentioning some pastors name on what ure not sure of and am suprised some guys still belief what polititians are insinuating. A decleration from man of God can turn your life upside down from grace s to grass and some from grass itself to ...... Don't join hand to abuse pastors because of this fraudulent politician who can yarn any rubish just to get peoles interest

endymetrix:
Are you really sure of what you are saying or are you just converting your IDLE moment to saying trash . Where you the agent that sent them the bribes/honoranium

These men u call without respect have achieved what you can't achieve even if you have 300 more years to live on earth. Respect the great, and greatness will locate you!

I was expecting to see anyone that would say heterosexual/straight men are evils.
Fùcking hypocrites.
If it was gay, all hell would let loose forgetting he's a pedophile.

Ijjiot.na your fat.her kill EFCC?

BlackBaron:
So EFCC finally understood that stealing is an attribute of corruption.

No one should care if he is APC or PDP.
If you all think most of the politicians are not neck deep in looting, then you know nothing yet.

However, it has taken EFCC to wake up only 2 weeks to ELECTIONS. For approximately 257 weeks of this regime, EFCC were content chasing fake pastors and yahoo boys whilst the President bandied 'stealing wasn't corruption'.

Charade

barcanista:
Most corrupt? Which public office did he hold?

I hate APC due to hypocrisy.
Few weeks back,you ijjiots where shouting Gej is hobnobbing with corruption,now that he is stepping up the war against corruption,not minding the 'kwansikwansy',you hediots,av' started crying .shm

Chrisabig:

imoleay0:
It's obvious all you want to see/hear about this government is bad news, that's why you don't search for truth to confirm before you conclude. who are you to talk about sense when you have none?
Give it up, there's nothing you can do to GEJ with that temporary voters card in your hands.

Settle with your life first man.

sunayo:
You talk like you don't know Soludo is doing the hatchet job for Obasanjo. This is part of the land mines set for GEJ. He started with OPEN LETTER he was disgraced, till date no single evidence. Sanusi wrote his own, $50 dollar, then $20 billion, that was also proved wrong. Now Soludo. Tell him to produce EVIDENCE otherwise he should SHUT UP.

FACTS, EVIDENCE, DOCUMENTS or he should shut up.

carlvon:
I admit Jonathan's poor performance,yet he should repeat the class.
It's a pity nigerians have short memory.
How many people have thought it wise to go thru the history of the past leaders of our country.
Corruption today is not up to half the corruption in the first republic under tafawa belewa.
Since the history of Nigeria,northern rulers 9, only 3 from west and south.
Do you really want an hausa man back in power? Sincerely ask yourself what they will do for u.
Buhari got 181bn as ptf chairman, what did he do for the south south.
Amaechi lost my admiration when he switched party and today he's a northern puppet.
Buhari,once he takes over power,south south will cry blood including amaechi but God willing
..gej.
Youths of today shouting buhari, pls go and read books about the civil war, history predicts future.
Jonathan isn't performing,who told you we are better off with buhari.
The problem is that apc should have presented a credible candidate not buhari.

Born2change:
Amaechi, you really know that no man has ever mocked God or His prophets and got away with it.
like Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, you are now so power-drunk that you can challenge the servants of your God on earth and mock them with lies.Mark my word,soon , you will definitely be on bended knees and feed on grasses and debris.Simply because you a a governor, you now neither fear God nor man. Time shall tell

jaso1:
you are a mad man and that is why people like you will sleep in the church during the working days for commercialize miracle to secure a job while your government take you for a fool!
you are a mad man i repeat for you not to have known that God has given this country all it needed to compete with the world in term of development. If you know why religious leaders will not want a good Nigeria, you will voluntarily kill your pastor.
When missionary came into this country, your today GEOs attended free school with qualitative education. Today, they establish university with your hard earn money in the name of tight and you cant afford to send your child to such school, who is fooling who?
Today pastors cruise private jet and leave exorbitant lives because you answered fool and your sense of normal reasoning is betrayed.
You are what you are and don't blame God for your stupidity.
