Such mentality pays off for good. It is the reason why Tompolo is not in DSS cell wearing only one cloth for years, restricted from family and friends.

I don talk am say you dey talk blaaaaaaaaaaaah....

Even if someone wasn't born in an era it doesn't mean they can't read or study about it.

This is the information era where people have access to information at the click of a button.

Even before the Internet people still went to libraries to read and get information about past governments.

That's why you can see people talk about regimes of Hitler, Stalin, world war 1 or 2 for example even though they weren't born then

And you being born during the era doesn't mean you have a more accurate understanding or information about the issue.

Open mouth blaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I witnessed an event live n direct n was a direct witness n u are telling me u read somewhere?

Please did u also read that the thugs fought at garages in oyo state then n students were all forced to trek to their various homes simply because they want to install their own boys to do dirty jobs.

Many of u kids doesn't deserve to b argued with, I am telling u events I saw live n direct n watched on TV n u are telling me u read it when it could b written by a bias writer.

Let's even believe I was lieing, y do u think people were mocking obj when ladoja was crowned olubadan of Ibadan?

It's because he doesn't have option now, once he comes to Ibadan he must prostrate to the man he removed with thugs.

All these kids self

It was the duty of the revenue mobilisation and fiscal commission to fix...

And increase salary of lawmakers and not obsanjo.

I will only address the parts of your allegations that can be verified as I stated earlier.

As the bolded I don see say you sabi talk blaaaaaaaaaaaah.


How influential was ladoja to obj's 3rd term agenda or relevant that he would go through the process of impeaching him.

Ladoja s godfather Adedibu probably had a more pronounced role in his removal than obj.

You talk blaaaaaaaaaaaah with little efforts to prove what you say!

brain54:
How old are you...

No seriously. How old? For someone always claiming "ancient of days" you always sound like a kid. The harder you try to sound old and mature the less convincing you become.

How old? Homour me.

Seriously!

Factcheck0001:
u weren't around then but let me tell u the reality

Ladoja was Atiku close ally n they had d same stand that 3rd term is a no no, obj empowered adedibu who made it clear that he had orders from above to remove ladoja n he will do as instructed.

Guy I no need follow u argue again abeg....


U are right

OBJ had shortcomings and was criticized for them, but when it comes to Nigeria, his government was one of the most prosperous for Nigeria between 1999 and 2025. Tinubu's government is the worst within the same period, and that's the most important thing to Nigerians.

aremubabs:
Prosperous to you because Nigerians only think about the enjoyment of today. You don't think about tomorrow.

It was prosperous, but you didn't worry that the government would not be able to sustain the prosperity.

They didn't build refineries, they wasted 16 billion dollars and even more on fake 24/7 electricity supply project, they didn't tackle corruption.

How do you think prosperity will continue for years?


We don't have the capacities to refine our own oil, rather we import the finished products and then subsidize them for the populace and the populace is happy because food is cheap.


Now that reality has caught up with us, you want to exonerate the originator of the whole mess and blame everything it on Tinubu simply because he grew the balls to do something OBJ should have done many years ago.


Do you people actually think Nigeria will continue to prosper by buying finished products of its own crude oil and then subsidize it to keep pump price affordable?


Have you seen our GDP per capita? Did you see the subsidy debt Buhari inherited and the one Tinubu inherited from Buhari?


Everything is not about today. Think about tomorrow too.


You are enjoying today but you don't care to put in sustainable practices that will make sure you continue to enjoy. That is the case of OBJ.


He swindled all of you.

Many people supporting obj today, if u know half of what obj did like seriously u will never like him.

Obj empowered a thug to remove a sitting governor of oyo state simply because he opposed obj third term ambition!!!


Imagine the day a governor was to b impeached, thugs went to the house of assembly n chased away lawmakers n a thug who couldn't string words together came n said in useless English

"Ladoja is remove, he's no governor again"


I can't forget that line but today people want us to see same man as hero amidst his other crimes.

We are all complaining our politicians are collecting too much money today, it was this same obj that tripped their pay then so as to support him for 3rd term

As if that wasn't enough, he changed their official cars of Peugeot 306 to Prado n now all of them are used to it.


Till now nobody can pin point who killed a whole attorney general of the federation (Bola ige) under obj.

Dalohad:
LOL.. In 2004 thereabout, one columnist wrote that PDP chairman Ahmadu Alli should be sacked and sent as an Ambassador to Iraq or Afghanistan since he loved to quarell and fight with everyone..

Ahmadu Alli was the Wike of those days. Trouble everyday. But OBJ knew how put him on a leash. Unlike Tinubu who can't control garrolus Wike.

If Wike had been Governor during OBJ's time. He would not survive one tenure. He would probably be arrested in Spain in collusion with OBJ's boys and charged with money laundering. He would have spent time in jail in exile and come back to Nigeria looking sagged and thin like a weather-beaten Okada raincoat.


I think it is was pen master Duro Onabule who wrote that piece. I loved to read from him.. He knew how to play with words like Farooq Kperogi of today.

Chai. Newspaper days.

I'm not supporting any government here, but is it possible to assess Obasanjo's regime without comparison to any other regime, which I think the OP is trying to do.

givedemwotowoto:
Facts speak for themselves. Tinubu is on the verge of destroying Nigeria completely and Nigerians are trying to stop him

stanluiz:
One of my friends told me this.

He says that if wike was governor under OBj presidency. Running his mouth like parrot and insulting anyone including the president. Wetin obj for do am, him mouth no go fit tell am finish till he dies.

He went further by the time Obj is done with wike. Wike will resign form politics, repent and become a pastor

Lifestone:
I'm just wondering how? I think if PBAT has not taken those harsh decisions, there will be no Country again. We were broke, spending 90% of revenue to service debt, we were borrowing to meet recurrent expenditures, our crude production was below 1million barrels per day mortgage for over 6 years.
I'm not a fan of Tinubu, I didn't vote for him, but im in support of his policies 💯.
I laugh when people claim that Naira was N430/$, which Naira? black market rate then was already aboutN900/$ only that Buhari was to afraid to remove the rent seeking element of the exchange rate.
I'm Tinubu PRO, his image makers should sell him. I may not like him,
BUT I BELIEVE IN HIS POLICIES

Despites what you mentioned above as bad seed, his good deeds surpass these. From call comparison among fourth democracy presidents, it was only Obj did wonderfully well for Nigerians, by providing stable economy.

According Machiavelli, it is better to do good where it is possible and evil where it is necessary.

you cannot even hide your blatant hypocrisy, @ best u are comparing 2 years of Tinubu, with 8 years of Obasanjo?

An 8 year old midget, is laughing at a 2 year old boy, that I am taller than u.

givedemwotowoto:
Tinubu's image makers are doing their best. Tinubu's policies are the problem, not his image makers. Nobody said float naira from day 1, nobody said remove subsidy from day 1. Nobody said don't fight corruption in the oil sector, nobody said don't appoint competent people to fight insecurity and corruption, nobody said let Coastal Highway of Fraud be your main priority out of all the big challenges. Let's stop kidding. There's no best way to sell someone who's priorities are politics and not governance.

givedemwotowoto:
2 years of Tinubu is the worst 2 years of any Presidency in Nigeria’s modern history, coming after promoting Buhari’s government to Nigerians as best for 8 years. This is APC’s 10th year in office, no excuses.

Well make I no too blame u, lazy man must always find excuse for em laziness, na because of teacher u no fit pass for school, na because of Tinubu out of 220 million Nigerians, u no fit prosper your life?
