Abacha government is one million times better than this one.it was not obj that ceded that part to Cameron. The problem is many of you don't know history. He only obeyed the international court ruling. It was ceded to Cameron during civil war to create blockage of supplys to biafran during the war.
So u want to turn around and collect it back.The French government would have come for u as they have protection agreement with Franco countries
See talk Mr historian, why didnt no president release the land till it was obj's time. And Stop with the the ICJ ruling. No country has obeyed icj ruling. Not US, not israel, not india. Nigeria is not compelled to be part of ICJ. He could have withdrawn us from it and nothing will happen. No country willingly release its land to another because some ICJ say so. See talk so France will go war with Nigeria because of Cameroun? To gain what. France does more volume of business with Nigeria than Cameroun. French businesses like Total are already in Nigeria doing business for decades. What stops them from doing more business in Bakassi if it still belongs to Nigeria. For many years now India and Pakistan have been on it over kashmir land and nothing has happened.

Only a coward, would give out his land without a fight.

The same coward goes for SW president who used Yoruba Judge to sentence Kanu.Why didn't he wait for Northern president to do ir since Buhari did not do it.A Judgement was passed during his tenure concerning two countries. And u said he should not obey it.Why is your SW president obeying what trump is saying now. Why did nigeria as a country give out her land in the first place to block supply to igbos during the war.I thought u had something in ur thinking.
France has such agreement with all countries it colonised to defend her interest. I don't waste time with gen Z..He should float ruling of ICJ when u live on funds borrowed from those countries.and you are a signatory to that body.Are u still in secondary sch

So i responded to an ipob member? My bad. Stop quoting me and move on. I like to engage intelligently here not responding to tantrum throwing troll. If you have any issue with kanu and your so called SW president, write him directly and get off my mention.
Re: Olusegun Obasanjo Is Nigeria’s Worst President by danvon(m): 5:09pm On Dec 04, 2025
Obasanjo inherited a very corrupt system, he got in after more than 20 years of corrupt military rule and soldiers were itching for any 'flaw in democracy' so they can take back power, how do you expect him to fix the country overnight?

The fact that Nigeria is still a democracy is a testament to the skill of Obasanjo, i don't think even MKO would have lasted long without being overthrown.

Re: Olusegun Obasanjo Is Nigeria’s Worst President by commoditiesnig(m): 5:38pm On Dec 04, 2025
Well said. First cut is the deepest. Truly Obj had great opportunity to take this country to a great path but he totally messed it up.

Turkey was developing 25yrs ago about same time as Nigeria under Obj but they were committed to development, look at them today. I was marvelled when I was there.. I wept for my country.

DadaEleniyan:
Olusegun Obasanjo is the worst President in the history of Nigeria 🇳🇬 and I will explain why…..

1. He is the architect of Terrorism in Nigeria 🇳🇬 as it was in his regime that permitted the full scale practice of Sharia Law. He gave Ahmad Sani Yerima approval to practice Sharia in Zamfara and it was eventually accepted to run in 12 Northern States. He was an incompetent President who said “I approved it because it will die a natural death.”

2. Nigeria officially lost the Bakassi Peninsula to Cameroon following a 2002 International Court of Justice (ICJ) ruling and a subsequent agreement in 2006 under his nose because he was busy pursuing a selfish agenda of second term at the time and a place in AU

3. This criminal violated human rights rights severally using military force in a democratic dispensation:

Odi massacre: The military operation in Odi, Bayelsa State, which involved the razing of the town and the killing of hundreds (possibly thousands) of civilians, occurred in November 1999.
Zaki Biam massacre: The killing of more than 200 unarmed civilians by the army in several communities in Benue State (often collectively referred to as the Zaki Biam massacre) occurred in October 2001. 

4. So many corruption cases sprung up from 1999 - 2007 including the Obasanjo’s personal endless corrupt practices centred around building of his Obasanjo Presidential Library, Bells University among others.

5. Obasanjo practically installed his successor in an election that was noted for massive irregularities and malpractices. This administration he installed gave birth to the Boko Haram terrorists which he once went to visit in Borno state without any reasonable head way.

6. He had the opportunity to RESET Nigeria in the early stage of a new democracy, but he went about victimising oppositions, pursuing selfish agendas and looking for unnecessary international recognition at the detriment of Nigeria’s future.

I will stop here for now. Let’s not even talk about his tenure as military head of state.

This evil and corrupt man has no moral justification to go about dishing ideas and criticisms.
Re: Olusegun Obasanjo Is Nigeria’s Worst President by lawani(m): 9:21pm On Dec 04, 2025
He did his best according to his abilities. He is the former president that is most interested in the country.
His pension reform act is a policy that technocrats all over the world have commended and it will be copied by many

MEGAWATCH:
He is not only the worst president,

He is also the worst person in Yoruba land and I know I'm speaking the minds of most Yorubas who are pro-awoism.


I'm trying my best to know the international Disgrace that Obasanjo brought to Nigeria like Tinubu as a confirmed international drug dealer who forfeited a lot of money to the American government.

😈😈😈
Those that are pro Awo are the UPN turn AD turn ACN and now APC.

Those are just a part of the Yoruba people.

Just refer to yourselves as those that hate Obj and don’t drag all Yorubas into your shenanigans.

Even when Awo was alive, was he accepted by all Yorubas?
Re: Olusegun Obasanjo Is Nigeria’s Worst President by ambale(m): 12:39am On Dec 09, 2025
While we agree that Obasanjo had his shortcomings but sincerely there's no president after him that has surpassed his achievements

He literally came in immediately after the military guys had dominated the scene, managed the country better, and mind you Boko haram and other elements started gaining grounds after him

He was always brutal on criminal elements

And then, we've had over 18 years after Baba and yet we still don't know where we are going

Are we really sure Obasanjo na our problem??

He asked you serious questions, don't hide behind a finger. You said why didn't another president release bakasi to Cameroon but obj.
So how come it was Tinubu that did the biding of the northerners and jailed Kanu when even Buhari could not do it? Many of you are hypocrites.

How can you compare Turkey with Nigeria? Have you bothered to study their position in world affairs since the middle ages?

Obasanjo was so spectacularly useless that it took Tinubu, decades later, to start fixing roads like the Ota–Lagos axis.

Same man from Ota.
Same corridor.
Eight full years in power.

Zero urgency. Zero legacy.!

Now people want to pretend governance is poetry and nostalgia.
