No mind am. It's just recently that Trump threatened Elon's business empire because of political disagreement. Many people only have smartphone, they don't understand how this world works.
The problem people like that guy have is that they lack exposure.

That vegetable is far better than one agulu failure who could not even live in the state he governed for 8 years because of his failure including increasing poverty of his people and now been packaged by the tribalists as messiah. I did not mention name oooo

Obasanjo remains the best president we have had in this republic,he is intelligent and energetic.

U mean he was not borrowing to subsidise petroleum and dollars then? Jonathan was not in charge. The women then do. Okonjo was crying then that Nigeria will soon enter recession with the way things are going and it happened shortly under Buhari.
No problem.

Nigerians said they would prefer GEJ if he contest. PDP worst rule is far better than APC govt, both buhari and tinubu combined together

This is why most presidents fail to see the real situations on the streets.

Their aides feed them filtered information.

If Otedola didn’t have access to the presidency, he would have been unable to make his case and explain the truth on ground.
Guy, any assistance you need in the presidential villa, money must change hands. Most of the special advisers don't have office to begin with 🤷🏿. Na so so percentage full their heads. Dangote had to scream out before things balanced

I recall he started owning federal workers salaries during his regime. He even had to take money from our external reserves to pay salaries, having been pressured by State Governors. I wouldn't call that economic stability.

To counter the misinformation, Otedola said he began publishing the availability and price of diesel in newspapers to reassure the public and government of steady supply

This is actually true. I always see it in the newspapers then and often wonder why he was doing so.

They eventually wrecked him but after he recovered from depression, he bounced back, his business flourished and today taking on the big guns in FBN, Egbin, IKEDC and Transcorp wink

He is a very rugged and audacious Lasgidi Boy wink

You too Sabi, GEJ depleted the ECA account with governors saved by President Obasanjo. That's they pushed for subsidy removal, everything backfired on president Buhari. Buhari went on loans spree which further worsened our currency value.
Obasanjo remains the best President Nigerians ever had 📌👌💯. Nigeria had $60B in reserves.

Otedola is another CLASSICAL example of wealth without source ..... EFCC SHOULD LOOK INTO HIM especially 1998 to 2000

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but was Otedola not fingered in fuel subsidy fraud in the House of Reps investigation in 2012?

So you put Elon in the same space with Dangote, Otedola and the rest.

Na wa o
My brother! The thing not tire you? Which innovation have these men brought to thier nation that the government is giving them special treatment? It’s only the bad side they would always talk about, the sides that profited them the most, they won’t talk about it. That’s how Coscharis was complaining about losing a billion plus in a failed project. when the government gave him license to import cars into the country, he didn’t complain then o, he was making his money low-key. Now he’s looking for a way to sell courses and seminars to gullible people.

That's how it is all over the world. It's how Elon Musk became the richest in the world. Government contracts, policy lobbying. There's no crime in that. Game is the game.
You guys are always quick to refer to Elon in a bid to justify cronyism. Can you tell me one thing Otedola produces or originally manufactured
Meanwhile, why leave out the likes of Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffer in your myopic analysis

It's everywhere in the world. Even Elon musk is connected to the US government. It's a general thing
That's not true. All of you are now referring to Elon musk without even understanding it just because of what Trump said
What of Bill Gates, Larry Oswald and others like them

Why are you whinnying?
They work smart, employ people like you who work hard and they network like mad.

Their own level requires balls, networking and social capital. Then, they give the job to hardworking people like you to do it.
Na only dem sabi networking pass nah. I'm not disputing their business and smart acumen. But they should also be grateful of govt huge supports

"He described Obasanjo as a “determined and robust president” who, once convinced of a person’s integrity, stood firm in his support."

And that is why Obasanjo had the best government since the return of Democracy in 1999. Obasanjo isnt bothered about where you are from or WHO you are. He doesnt do tribal and Religious sentiments like these ones currently in power. He will give you the job as long as he knows you can deliver

Unlike the current yeye ones wè got right now

Tueh
But you guys did not support him when he needed your votes, and you are the one crying most that he marginalized you. You want to reap where you did not sow

That's one of the reasons why Nigeria needs a Peter Obi that doesn't depend on his advisers for reports.

He gets his hands dirty, goes into the streets and gets firsthand information. This is exactly what FP Obama did that made him stand out. That's PO's leadership style too.

Anti-People policies like removing subsidy in expensive imported diesel with NNPCL been the sole importer instead of refining the itself in Nigeria which is way more cheaper
Re: You Are A Stupid Boy — Otedola Recounts His Encounter With Obasanjo In New Book by TimmyA: 10:50am On Aug 08, 2025
Thanks for your honest response. Obasanjo is still the best president with the most buoyant economy for the masses in the present Nigeria democracy.

With good currency value, then $1 = 150 - 160 naira. It was during GEJ regime that it became 200 naira before evil APC start borrowing and the make naira highly useless
