Hmm. Funny enough this is also how, some years down the line, Buhari's birthday will also be celebrated and the same we that are cursing him now will pour accolades on him. We cursed Obasanjo when he was president. Same thing Jonathan. Now they're both respected elder statesmen.
Nigerians are always quick to forget. That's why these politicians are audacious. Because they know we will only shout and bicker for a limited time because we don't take interest in things for too long, then afterwards everything goes back to normal and then they can settle down to enjoy their stolen wealth. Then the cycle starts again.

The problem is our economy.

It gets worse every year irrespective of the person in Power. I put it to you, that after Buhari, the economy is going to get worse under whoever is going to be the new president .

Our roads won't get better
Refinery won't work
Naira vs dollar will get worse
Power will get worse

And Nigerians will refer to Buhari era as a better time.

Analyse Obj era from first year to the 8th year. It didn't get any better.

Dollar moved from less N100 to about N150
Power tarrif was increased
Fuel price was increased
Our roads weren't fixed

Hbd to a true Leader
We are quick to forget no one is perfect hence none is free from flaws
But to those wey try and even still use some things we considered as flaw to get things done, we need to appreciate them
Obasanjo and whatever we might view as being negative of him cannot be compared to any one after for now except may be Yar' adua .
For me, obj is still the best we ever had and when u consider living conditions under the various administration, Obj deserve the accolades and respect... My view though

I agree..but for allowing those 12 northern governors to create a Constitution beside another constitution....he was not smart on that one atol
he allowed the 12 northern states to get away with it because he was afriad and over pampered the north, dear am a Yoruba man but I hate cowards, Obasanjo could arrest the three leaders of southern militants but the northern trouble makers at the same time could go scot-free. Goodluck Jonathan that had all the ammunition in the whole country was removed from power with ordinary sticks, but my brother from the East will always blames Yoruba for his defeat, if I may ask what take Jonathan to secure 80% of Yoruba land votes to himself and declare himself the winner? My dear heaven will not fall, the worst that would have happened is the killing of southerns and christians in the north then the total declaration of shooting every heads seeing outside by Nigerian army will follows immediately peace will reign again and he continue.

Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation (OOF) celebrates former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo who turns 85 years on the 5th of March, 2022, IGBERETV reports.

A statement from OOF reads;

As we mark another year of grace upon our Founder, Chairman of the Board and Principal benefactor, we at Olusegun Obasanjo Foundation (OOF) celebrate an exceptional individual with uncommon, grace, favour and mercy of God upon him.

It is worthy to acknowledge the providential mandate that underpins His Excellency's determination to serve all equitably without fear or favour. As a man of many parts and caps, we could have chosen to focus on numerous aspects of His Excellency's accomplishments: militarily; cultural; international security; political mediation; statesmanship and diplomacy etc. These are all different facet of professional and traditional areas that our Chairman have made indelible marks on the global stage.

Over the last decade, we at the OOF have had the privilege of witnessing the philantrophic side of His Excellency, Olusegun Obasanjo that is rarely known by others but clearly reflected in his deeds within and through his charitable undertaken and that of service to humanity.

As grassroots man, OBJ, as our Chairman is affectionately referred to, is benevolent, kind, approachable and unassuming but firm in all his doings and dealings. A reflection of this is the fact that OOF’s interventions spread beyond his own community - throughout the country, Africa continent, and beyond. OOF’s contributions in the last decade of its existence reflects the immense commitments to greater goods of our Founder.

We joined the CEO, of OOF, Dr. Olalekan Makinde in wishing His Excellency Olusegun Obasanjo many Happy Returns and continued strength in his service to humanity.

Olusegun Obasanjo (GCFR) is one leader Nigeria needs even at this moment.

He stands shoulder taller than other national leaders of this country and, his achievements speak volume in his favour being non-sectional. He is non- tribalistic.

May God bless and keep Obasanjo well and healthy for many more decades to come.
We need him more, and more.
