BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
Obasanjo is the solution to Trump vs Tinubu saga. USA cant respect a person with alleged drug case with them.

Obasanjo is the only well respected Nigerian leader by the USA, Tinubu should seek his help now before it is too late.

List of what respect by the USA has achieved through Obasanjo

1. Worked closely with the U.S. on ECOMOG (West African peacekeeping force), hosted peace talks and pushed Washington to back stabilization efforts for Liberia and Sierra Leone

2. With U.S. backing and support from the Paris Club, Nigeria received $18 billion in debt forgiveness (2005) — the largest ever for an African nation at the time.

3. Trusted go-between in U.S.-African dialogues on governance, elections, and security

4. He used his growing friendship with the Carter administration to push Washington to take a stronger stand against South Africa’s apartheid regime and support liberation movements in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), Namibia, and Angola

5. As African Union chair (2004–2006), Obasanjo organized Abuja peace talks. The U.S. relied on Nigeria’s mediation rather than intervening directly

No one is threatening our sovereignty. We will engage the Americans if and when necessary.

You will engage as who or what?

So we all now agree that Tinubu enjoys absolutely no respect from the international community? No wonder he couldn't be bothered to appoint ambassadors.

Obj will not get involved. After all the insults Emilokan dished at him over the years

The same OBJ that wrote letters to the international communities not to recognize Jagaban's presidency?

Same OBJ that didn't stopped the implementation of shariah law during his era?

Make una go sit down somewhere.

Nobody respects Tibunu...

Or takes him seriously.


I watched him respond to Trump's threat the other day. I am very sorry to say this and I say it with all due respect knowing he is president and an elder, but he was sounding as incoherent as a drunk.

Talking here and there without direction.

That's the day I realized how bad our situation is as Nigerians as a country.


This is a man that's supposed to lead the country and give us direction himself seemingly lost at sea

Presently, Nigeria is like a rudderless ship drifting at sea with a drunk captain.

It's a pity because they was a time we had respected leaders that had a say in the international community.

Sad this is where we presently find ourselves o!

Obasanjo is not a solution.

If you expect Obasanjo to help Tinubu, you are joking. Obasanjo will secretly support the invasion. Obasanjo doesn't play trialalal

Tinubu is his enemy from his days as Lagos state governor.

Most you guys are babies on this forum. Obasanjo and GEJ will never help Tinubu and if you think Trump is playing, then you returned from Mars, you have bit been in the Earth

Obasanjo and gej are patriots...


To them national interest and country comes first.

Who holds such trivial political grudges at heart when the stability and sovereignty of their country is at stake.

They may have had their issues in the past but these people are not enemies. Even enemies put grievances aside to present a common front to fight against outside threats or work together for their common good and advance their interests. No sensible person sabotages their own at the expense of outsiders.

If this is the way many of you reason in real life then I understand why we can't get a headway as a country.

Its sad. I give up!

Trump didn’t say the USA will invade Nigeria. His interest is eliminating the terrorists. You people talking about invasion are the ones giving these terrorists and their sponsors the power to shout this useless ‘sovereignty’.

OBJ is a patriot

Obasanjo is a respected elder statesman and I believe he can help facilitate the conversation between the US and Nigeria.

That said, Nigeria is a sovereign nation and we will not entertain any threats to our sovereignty.

Obasanjo is a big part of the Problem

He should never have allowed Sharia in the North

Before Sharia the Northern Christians never face religious attacks like this

Sharia Law was used to radicalised many youths

Boko Haram leader Shekau was an expert in Sharia Law and his argument was that the Sharia practiced in Nigeria was not radical or pure enough .

Since the day they came up with that argument till today Northern Nigeria has not known peace

Shey na here we dey,you think say na by cho cho cho, you throw away the advice of patriots and seek their help when you are in a mess...don't fail to mention me when Obasanjo reacts as you know him more than me. Obasanjo cannot speak for many reasons same with Jonathan but you claim I dey reason with hate....don't fail to mention me when they react or help Tinubu positively


You also miss the part I told you, they don't play tribal politics, but they cannot do anything right now to salvage the situation. Even from Obi statement it is clear, all of them wants Tinubu and APC out

So suddenly you guys now know we have elders in the country??

Tinubu shot himself in the foot very well, and has played into the hands of his enemies

Now some of his friends now were the advocate of same genocide few years back and their words, proposals are littered everywhere

Let's see how he solves this

The fact that he's not even holding conversation with the nation says a whole lot about him

Man is just the perfect definition of selfishness

When they will be telling people to live a good life they will say they prefer fast lane.....

Now see the insults Nigeria is receiving because of Tinubu?


Nawaoo!


🥱🥱🥱🥱

No need for mediation as there is no issue between Nigeria and USA.

The Obidients should stop creating imaginary issues

This is what happens when a critical mass of a country worship money especially ill gotten money. Now this has exposed ALL Nigerians (home and away) to international ridicule and disrespect from an equally criminally minded, convicted felon, racist and dumb American president.

I am a Yoruba man by the way but I hate criminals - be they Tinubu or Trump - but especially Tinubu who I honestly believe is now richer than Nigeria and does not care if Nigeria and Nigerians burn to the ground since he has multiple private jets with which to escape to any African country, Russia, Belarus or any other corrupt money laundering country on the globe where I seriously suspect that Tinubu has had their passport for a long time.

The Devil comes to steal, to kill and to destroy and now the reputation of 230 million Nigerians has been destroyed on an international scale because we allowed a criminal with nothing upstairs nor any international credibility to be our President.

Those of us who knew Tinubu was a thief based on our experience of his stealing in Lagos from 1999 to date and counting shouted from the rooftops for people not to vote for a man with publicly documented drug trafficking and money laundering history in addition to his kleptomania but the rot in the minds of a critical mass of Nigerians meant that the money worship in Nigeria and our collective aversion to hating truth-Sayers (like Fela Kuti, Gani fawehinmi, etc) led to such a character like Tinubu entering Aso Rock. Now the shit has hit the fan.


Now, the criminal with the fake Chicago school mate from Belarus who was underage when Tinubu claimed the went to University together in Chicago has put exposed ALL Nigerians to ridicule and public disgrace on an INTERNATIONAL scale.

If Nigeria makes it out of this current fiasco, then maybe (just maybe) a critical mass of Nigerians will stop worshiping money and corrupt politicians and for once vote someone into power regardless of tribe, religion or wealth (legit or iilicit) but vote for someone who will safeguard their future and that of their children and grand children.

Sheuns:
Obj will not get involved. After all the insults Emilokan dished at him over the years

He will; anyone can accuse OBJ of anything but not lack of patriotism. The problem is that pride will not allow Tinubu to officially delegate him

Trump called Nigeria disgraced because he knows we elected a drug man as president...only a disgraced country can do that , even Colombia refused to elect Pablo Escobar

Sheuns:
Obj will not get involved. After all the insults Emilokan dished at him over the years

And all of this boils down to some vendetta between OBJ and Tinubu and not about millions of Nigerians who are bearing the brunt of terrorism?

HgAkpobomeEr:
Obasanjo is not a solution.

True talk. A thief who also looted our treasury and can not be part of the solution.

According to Femi Falana, “On May 17, 2007 (just 12 days before his second term ended) , Obasanjo sold a 51 per cent stake in the Port Harcourt refinery to Bluestar Oil for US$561 million. In another transaction that took place on May 28, 2007 ( just one day before his second term ended), Obasanjo sold 51 per cent shares in Kaduna Refinery to Bluestar Oil for $160 million,” Falana revealed.

The human rights activist stressed that the deals drew sharp criticism from key stakeholders, including the National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN.

According to him, the unions raised concerns over due process and alleged that the country had been shortchanged.

He further explained that they also alleged that the nation had been shortchanged as the shares acquired in the Port Harcourt refinery for $516 million were worth $5 billion.

“It is on record that the cancellation of the privatisation was not challenged in any court as it was carried out contrary to the letter and spirit of the Privatisation and Commercialisation Act,” Falana stated.

Yes good they should step foot into our nation and see how far…
