What a running amock remark from a totally destructive, and very badly educated man. With his agencyship for W/Europe& N/America(WENA) and terribly narcissistic practices, a terrible predecessor in Nigeria's FG he was in 1999 to 2007 and which to date confirms him as a destroyer of democracy and a practitioner of toxic governance like he has just stated. |

A bit confused here. Are you talking to OBJ or who? I ask because I didn't see him advocating for military govt nor implying so. I'm also surprised that you completely avoided responding to his argument that Democracy as is being practiced in Africa needs to be amended. I'm even bothering with all this because I have seen some very sensible posts from you in the past so wondering what went wrong. TemplarLandry: |

EyeCumInPiece:You got the point right. Democracy is still the best form of government but black man is just too selfish to bring the best out of it. Parliamentary system is a way forward, return the country to regionalism or better still federal government and 774 local governments. The sharing formula should be 80% local governments and 20% federal government. State government is a waste of resources. |

Bluntemperor:That's the more reason Tinubu commands respect in Southwest more than OBJ. Southwest see Tinubu as the leader of Yorubas and not Obasanjo. OBJ truly has international recognition being a past president but he has no electoral influence or weight in the southwest. |

Na wa for you o! Did you really peruse the stuff ?. Who is talking about military rule up here? Baba’s theme is “Home grown democracy “. Other countries are practicing their thought-out design of the type of democracy that suit them. Look at countries like China, Russia, India etc, the west would naturally object to it cos they won’t benefit from it but it’s working for the countries listed above. They sometimes refer to it as illiberal democracy etc but who cares for as long as you are developing economically and all. TemplarLandry: |

I've always said that we should domesticate this democracy cos it's not working for us. If in the west, you're free to be blasphemous, in our own case, we should regulate it. Trying to give an example. Why do we have to spend time deliberating at the national assembly on budget and the problems they have in focus before the sitting would have quadruple before they provide solutions to the ones existing. While you're making budget, we have 10 problems and before the budget kicks in, you have 50 problems, then you'll have this budget struggling. We can be in democracy and still borrow chinese model of implementation. Russia and Rwanda wouldn't have been here if they went by the doctrine of tenure limits imposed by the west. Dubai and Saudi wouldn't have been this strong if they're in democracy. Ali Bongo mentioned this last time. In Nigeria, it should be allowed that after 16 years of exiting having served 2 terms as a governor, they can contest again - this would force these politicians to perform in anticipation of the reward in 16 years time. With this, you won't have to lose their second term to nonsense like budgeting billions for perfume like BSO is doing now. They'd do quality job to last long. Kwankwaso can be a governor again and peter obi can govern Anambra again. We have weak institutions. |

And it is working for all of the West? See America, businessmen (lobbyists) don buy nearly all the politicians finish. US politician answer to Health insurance companies, ExxonMobil and banks first, then will blank all their voters. The UK government is selling their public property in pieces to their friends in the private sector to get wealthier. |

iwaeda:If it's by it's definition, nothing is wrong with it. It's pro- humanity and support ideals of liberty and freedom. The real problem was created by the military that midwifed fake fashion of that democracy since 1966. You Obasanjo, sir were part of that mutiny against the people of Nigeria. You created Barack version of democracy. Destroyed regional autonomy and true federalism which are ideals of our democracy as laid down by founding fathers. The present 1999 Constitution was the last born in the family of the fake democracy you impose on Nigeria ethnic nationalities. |

Obasanjo is very right. Africans needs to create its own version of democracy that will address the governance needs of it people |

THAT'S BECAUSE AFRICANS ARE DULL, BAD AND DEAD. AFRICANS ARE ALSO FOOLISH, SILLY AND IGNORANT. WE READ THE SAME BOOKS LIKE PEOPLE FROM OTHER PLACES BUT WE ALWAYS MISAPPLY WHAT WE READ BECAUSE OF GREED, FOOLISHNESS AND SELFISHNESS. |

Freshtruth:ILLITERATE DUNCE WITH NO BRAIN. NAME ME ONE INDUSTRY BUILT BY THE BRITISH IN NIGERIA. NAME ME ONE INFRASTRUCTURE THEY BUILT THAT YOU CAN SEE AROUND YOU. EWU. DO YOU KNOW THEY DID NOT BUILD A SINGLE POWER PLANT IN NIGERIA BEFORE THEY LEFT? FROM 1897 TO 1960, THAT THEY RULED. NOT ONE POWER PLANT, NOT ONE SINGLE FULL FLEDGED UNIVERSITY. NOT ONE SINGLE EXPRESSWAY. DESPITE EXPORTING OUR RESOURCES FOR 63 YEARS. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOUR THICK, LOW IQ SKULL TO WONDER WHAT THEY DID WITH ALL THE MONEY THEY MADE IN NIGERIA? ARE YOU AWARE THAT LITERACY RATE WAS 7% IN 1960, COMPARED TO 75% TODAY, THANKS TO BLACK RULE? DO YOU AND THE 70+ DUMBASS PEOPLE WHO LIKED YOUR POST EVEN UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR COLONISATION OF A COUNTRY BY ANOTHER? DO YOU THINK IT IS DONE OUT OF ALTRUISM? YOU DON’T KNOW THAT THE ONLY REASON FOR COLONISATION IS THE EXPLOITATION AND THEFT OF THE RESOURCES OF THE COLONISED NATION FOR THE ENRICHMENT OF THE COLONISING POWER? STUPID AIR HEAD. LET THE BRITISH COME BACK TO RULE AND FCU.K YOUR MOTHER THERE. BASTARD SLAVE WITH NO BRAIN. |

orisa37:SHUT YOUR DUMB LIPS THERE, YOU PEA BRAIN. BEFORE COLONIALISM WE BUILT OUR HOUSES WITHOUT FRONT DOORS OR GATES OR FENCES KNOWING FULL WELL THAT NOBODY WOULD ENTER AND STEAL OR ROB. WE HAD A NOBLE AND VIRTUOUS CULTURE WHICH WAS DESTROYED BY THE THIEVING BRITISH, EVEN THOUGH WE CAN STILL SEE GLIMPSES OF OUR PRECOLONIAL NOBILITY IN THE RURAL AREAS WHERE CRIME IS STILL EXTREMELY LOW. IF YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR HISTORY AS AN AFRICAN, GO AND EDUCATE YOUR BLASTED SELF. |
