[quote author=Mayor_of_Lagos]Dude, do you know why corruption is pervasive in this country? We got away from taking oath on the virtue of the earth's power and started swearing to a written oath that is meaningless and ineffective. So now everyone has taken liberty in that meaningless oath to do what they want.

Here is how to clear the ground on this letter issue. Iyabo should be interrogated privately by the elders of Owu, her fatherland to confess if she wrote thie letter or not. If she maintained she did not, the elders put out invitation with 7days ultimatum asking the author to come and see them privately.

On the 7th day if no one has showed up, take the case to Sango, and wait!

Thats how you cure looneys.[/quote]I don't care who writes it as far as I am concerned and as a true Yoruba son, it is not in our culture to insult an elder or write something as gross as this against an elder no matter what the elder has done.I respect elders so that one day I would grow to be one and also get respected.On that note u repeat anyone either Iyabo Obasanjo or any other person or group or people that fabricated this letter is doom for life, pains, sorry, sadness, stagnacy,bitterness and all bad things of this life is already the portion of that person permanently.Àrọ ti rọ mọ,épé ti ko ni yi pada ni.It's sealed

[b]We have a lot of fools on this forum,do oshiomole or Amechi need to tell us that we are foolish by condoning all this nonsense from our so called leaders?How can our leaders exploit us with so much impunity and we keep our fingers crossed.There is no reasonable suggestions that makes sense to most fools on this forum, once it's from an opposition they say it's an attempt to discredit GEJ,fools,hypocrites that's what you are if you continue to reason as such.Just because our past leaders didn't get things right doesnt mean our present or future leaders should follow thesame trend.We have to start thinking collectively on how to achieve the Nigeria of our dream where justice is equal to all no matter how highly placed you are,a country where we forget any form of tribal, religious and political differences and see ourselves first of all as a human being without segregation.Our future is in our hands and wr can change our destiny for good if we so desire.Whatever our governors, senators, representatives, etc are not doing right,let us speak together with one voice and condemn them.United we rise but divided we fall,let us all work together collectively for our future and the future of our generations' yet unborn.God bless Nigeria[/b]

President Goodluck Jonathan and former
ruler Olusegun Obasanjo were locked in
a secret meeting late yesterday in
faraway Nairobi, Kenya, apparently to
discuss Obasanjo’s scathing criticism of
Jonathan in a letter leaked to the media,
a source privy to the talks told
Abusidiqu.
Talks between the current and former
presidents were held at the luxurious
Intercontinental Hotel in Nairobi where
Jonathan is lodged to attend Kenya’s
50th independence celebrations.
Jonathan and Obasanjo had on Tuesday
attended the memorial held to honor the
life of Nelson “Madiba” Madela, South
Africa’s great man of history and world’s
single most significant statesman of the
last 100 years.
Jonathan and Obasanjo were said to have
had a “fruitful discussion” after
emerging from the meeting beaming
with smiles and sharing a warm
handshake in a move to paper over
cracks in their continually strained
relationship and sway watchers that
there was no acrimony between the two,
the source said.
The Nairobi talks follows Obasanjo’s
sanctimonious attack on Jonathan in an
18 page December 2 note to the
President titled “Before It Is Too Late”.
Obasanjo accused Jonathan of everything
from corruption to divisive politics to
dangerous ambition. “Nigeria is bleeding
and the hemorrhage must be stopped,”
Obasanjo said. “As Head of Government,
the buck of the performance and non-
performance stops on your table.”
He said the president’s agenda serves a
narrow ethnic interest of the Ijaw nation
and fostered divisions between
Christians and Muslims as Jonathan
seeks to retain power in 2015.
Jonathan, 56, who took over since 2010
after the death of Umaru Yar’Adua,
hasn’t openly declared his intention to
seek re-election in 2015.
The former president dared Jonathan to
share the contents of the letter with
heads of former military juntas Generals
Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalami
Abubakar and Yakubu Danjuma, as well
as former Vice President Alex Ekwueme
“who on a number of occasions in recent
times have shared with me their
agonizing thoughts, concerns and
expressions” about the future of the
country.
Presidential spokesman Reuben Abati
reacted angrily to Obasanjo’s letter
describing it as “highly unbecoming,
mischievous and provocative” while
acknowledging receipt of the said
correspondence. Obasanjo’s letter was
“deliberately leaked to the mass media in
a deplorable effort to impugn the
integrity of the President and denigrate
his commitment to giving Nigeria the
best possible leadership,” Abati said.
Jonathan, who is expected back in Abuja
from Nairobi today, will “at the
appropriate time, offer a full personal
response to the most reckless, baseless,
unjustifiable and indecorous charges
levied against him and his
administration by the former Head of
State,” Abati said.
