Hope the head of the executive of the government of the Federal republic of Nigeria, is not included in that category?

Obasanjo is the patron of the thieves. He stole 16 billion dollars and shared among the former military head of States.

Dear sir,

You once brought a bad candidate Buhari to unseat a good president Jonathan. The bad candidate (Buhari) you brought to us claiming he is a saint put us into this condition that the present government is suffering for.So allow Nigerian to breathe

To you when you're a President, you do alot of atrocities to the Nigerian people. You are a thief too that committed an ethnic cleansing to the good people of Odi.

So don't make noise in public occasion as if you are a saint.

Obasanjo and his cronies stole $16B electricity money, present administration just recovered N12B out of N32B from one of obasanjo mistresses, that is just 1 item out of millions of dommy projects obasanjo and Atiku put forward to embezzle nigeria treasury. Self delusion and complexity is the problem of obasanjo, he should forever keep shut in this world.

Brendaniel:
He would have been rated poorly if only most of the presidents after him performed better than him, especially Buhari and Tinubu that you both supported , everything you wrote here is all about election and not performance, nobody is calling any person a saint not even Obi, but can you compare Nigeria today as it was in OBJ's time, you guys just come out and spew nonsense because of tribal hate and dirty politics, look at the data below, you can't even compare OBJ and Jonathan.

Then setting the record straight, I witnessed 3 military governments before democracy in 1999 and I was in secondary school already, you guys have been so blinded with tribal hate towards the Igbos that anything the Igbos say or do, you guys ready to oppise it.

Is OBJ not better than both of them in performance ?

There is no hate here, what Nigerians want is performance, any person who speaks the truth to you people is a hater
What is the difference here? Somebody laid a foundation of corruption which successive governments built on and this is the effect of what we are seeing today. You said it was not performance issue, what about the $16b loan his govt took to revamp the power sector? Where did the fund go to? If he had successfully used that fund for the purpose it was meant for, will Nigerians be crying for uninterrupted power supply today? Do you know how much he wasted to have the national Assembly ammend the constitution for him to have third term? Make I no talk again sha, he doesn't have the morals to criticize successive governments because he started it and they copied his template.
Re: Thieves Can’t Provide Good Governance – Obasanjo by Bhella5(m): 8:17am On Sep 21, 2024
Obj is the grand patron of corruption in Nigeria. Those who know knows. But out of respect we'll let him run his mouth. He's got a few years left.
Re: Thieves Can’t Provide Good Governance – Obasanjo by Kukutenla: 8:20am On Sep 21, 2024
Let me quickly debunk some of the lies you folks in APC have allowed yourself to be fed just so you can hang on to arguably the biggest thief in Nigeria's democratic history
Sharpsharp00123:
I understand u were still in d womb when obj was ruling but just Google

Who started all these election brouhaha we are facing today?
The tinubu n wike u blame all your life gave room for election but obj through Maurice iwu will declare winner even when people are still voting on d field
OBJ did not start election brouhaha. Election heist started in 1965 during the Akintola/Awo face off in SW. Another one was Ajasin/Omoboriowo in 1983. 2007 election was a farce. But Obj did not start election heist.

Obj has been a thief since a long time ago, go n listen to the song international thief thief(ITT) by fela
Lie. ITT was a song against Abiola not OBJ. I doubt you've heard the song before. It was in response to the Telecoms contract executed with much corruption. ITT was a telecoms company.

Obj was the president that started money politics in Nigeria, the senate we all want their salary to b reduced now obj raised their money then so they can give him a third term through constitutional amendment
Another lie. Money politics has existed since the 80s in Nigeria. IBB banned former politicians from contesting due to their corrupt monetisation of politics. Monetisation of campaign happened under MKO Abiola in 1991. Salary of senate was not increased because of third term. That's a lie as well. The claim was that Ghana-must-go bags were given to senate members to approve third term for OBJ which was never substantiated.

The same obj that suddenly turns Messiah today was the same person who declared war on black out by borrowing 16 billion dollars only to convert it to personal use
Another lie. This was investigated by the House of Reps and found to be false. No $16bn was borrowed by OBJ and he actually built five gas powered plant as president. No president under him as built just one. You can check that fact.

The farm he now parades as Obasanjo farms otta, was named operation feed d nation which was meant to save Nigeria agricultural sector but today he's a Messiah cos he's insulting tinubu n co
Ota farms was started during OFN. But there's no evidence it was started with Nigeria's money. If you have bring it. There's no law against public servants running a farm in Nigeria.

This same man with S M afolabi scammed Nigeria with national id card only to kolobi d money
Another lie. SM Afolabi was singularly responsible for the ID card fracas and OBJ ensured he was jailed. He died not too long after. If OBJ was part of the heist, he would have spoken out like Dasuki did to Buhari which you their e-rats conveniently ignored.

This same man that turns Messiah today was the same person who supervised haliburton scandal with atiku, the white man who was their accomplice Peter Jefferson has been jailed in his country but today same thieves are elders state man cos they are against tinubu we love to hate
You lie! OBJ had no business with Haliburton. Only Atiku was mentioned and he was never indicted. The Congressman never met Atiku to give him any money

My confessions by fayose, he made it clear they wrote election results on obj bed n even yaradua admitted the election that brought him in wasn't just
Same fayose was indicted in N2bn poultry scandal and impeached by his HoA under OBJ's prodding. Where's the poultry today? That's the man you're believing simply because he said something against a man you love to hate

The obj u are praising today, I am sure if your obi contested against him then obj won't even supply election materials to d east

Brendaniel,with all you obi mumus now I can attest to d fact that hate reduce d brain cells

It is only a mad man that will insult tinubu n praise obj, it's just like praising a thief that stole 1 million but since he's now In your good book hes telling u to go after a thief that stole 100 thousand

I wish I can reverse d hand of time n allow your Messiah obi to contest against obj then u will know he won't even allow u Igbos vote let alone counting
OBJ contested against Buhari in 2003 and there were no reports of lack of election materials in NW. How can you compare tinubu to obj when it comes to stealing? Tinubu's thievery are clear to see! 24 years and counting and still sucking directly from Lagos tax while signing the biggest ever governors pension bill into law. Shall we also talk about how many Lagos State properties have been personalised and even the torrid and bitter kind of politics entrenched in Lagos till today. I always say if OBJ had siphoned enough money to be sharing to gobble youths and elderly and pose as an ethnic champion, he'll be a saint to clowns like you today regardless of his failings

We should therefore learn to differentiate the thieves from the caring and competent politicians and vote accordingly.

A story.

I once donated a container of books to my local government library. The Chairman asked me to bring them to the local government (The library is in a different location). I asked why, and was told so they can access the value and compensate me accordingly, but I told them I am donating the books for free and need no compensation.

I was later informed that they would like me to sign a contract for a ₦100m and pay me like half and they will keep the rest. I was so angry that I ordered the books to be taken to the library and we shelved them. This made me a pariah in my community. I am told I'd never be considered for a government post, which I don't want in the first place, because neither will I steal but would stop them from stealing too.
You would have taken the money, bought another incentives for the community. They will still steal that 100M in someway. Next time this opportunity present itself, take the money and buy visible goods- Bags of rice, books, anything that will be beneficial for the community. God bless you along the way

President Olusegun Obasanjo, who led Nigeria from
1999-2000, during which time he swore to fight
corruption in the country, obtained considerable helpings of the infamous Haliburton bribe money, the Special Investigation Panel headed by Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro, has declared in an interim report.

President Olusegun Obasanjo, who led Nigeria from
1999-2000, during which time he swore to fight
corruption in the country, obtained considerable helpings of the infamous Haliburton bribe money, the Special Investigation Panel headed by Inspector-General of Police, Mike Okiro, has declared in an interim report.

According to the document, which was submitted to
President Umaru Yar’Adua in May last year by Mr.
Okiro, Obasanjo shared the sum of $74 million USD between 2000 and 2001 with his Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, as well as Funsho Kupolokun and Gaius Obaseki, who were successive heads of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation during the government’s early years.

During that same time span, said the interim report,
Obasanjo and the ruling party, the People’s Democratic Party, also pocketed $5m from the Halliburton slush funds.

Other major beneficiaries included
General Sani Abacha, got $40 million in 1994-95; Ibrahim Aliyu, $11.7million in 2001-2002;
Former Minister, Dan Etete, $2.5 million 1996-1998;
Abdulkadir Abacha, $1.8 in 1998; and
M. G. Bakari, $3.1 million

Critiquing an idea is good. No one out there is 100 percent honest even you. It was my idea, wasn’t enforcing you to do it.

if your obi contested against obj when he made Maurice iwu inec chairman

U Igbos won't even see ballot box but today the same man who destroyed Nigeria by starting useless policies with democracy is now your hero

Hate has blinded u to the extent that even if the devil insults tinubu u people will b willing to hug him
At least PDP will allow you to vote before they carry out their rigging, but your evil party APC won't even allow you to vote. They(APC)'ll threaten and even attack you during election.

Asides the late Yaradua, no other democratically elected president(s) (ex & current) ever come close to OBJ, in terms of performance and results. That's the bitter truth, whether you like it or hate it. You can source statistical data for your perusal.

One thing you should know is that, the WORST of PDP is far more better than the BEST of APC. Quote me anywhere as regards to this.

The day Nigerians decide to do away with hate, bigotry, sentiment, etc., during election of leaders, that's the day this country will start experiencing progress.

Finally, hope you are enjoying the mess your master, tinubu, brought upon this country?
