Obiagelli:
How true is this?

Are you still neghbour to Alice?

For the umpteenth time, former President
Olusegun Obasanjo, has come under verbal
attack over a three-volume memoir, My
Watch, he launched on 8 December, 2014.
The latest person to condemn the former Head
of State on the contents of the book is retired
Brigadier Godwin Alabi-Isama.
In an interview with P.M.NEWS newspaper
from his base in Ilorin, Kwara State, the retired
army general, while commenting on the book,
described Obasanjo as an incredible liar.
Retired Brigadier General Godwin Alabi-Isama.
Alabi-Isama stated that if he had read
the book before it was presented in Lagos last
Tuesday, he would have gone to the venue of
the launch to challenge Obasanjo.

He said: “The tragedy of our civil war is
painful, but that Obasanjo is publishing fiction
about it is so outrageous. We should not allow
this liar to get away with his self-serving lies.’’
Below are the full texts of Alabi-Isama’s
response:
“I’m gravely pained to be trading words with
General Olusegun Obasanjo once again on the
history of Nigeria-Biafra War. He is an elder
and a former ruler who, ordinarily, should be
treated with utmost respect.
But how can one genuinely respect an old man
who tells lies like a badly raised child?
Obasanjo has obviously not recovered from the
shock inflicted on him by my book, The
Tragedy of Victory in which I exposed the
tissues of lies in his civil war memoir, My
Command. It is said that a lie may travel for a
thousand miles, but it takes just one step of
truth to catch up with it.
I’m alive to stand up to him on the lies he has
told on the war because I was a major
participant in it. I kept records. With facts and
figures at my finger tips, I have debunked
Obasanjo’s lies in part three of my book,
consisting of one hundred and sixty five pages,
sixty nine pictures, thirteen military strategies
and tactics, maps and documents.
This was the same Obasanjo who published a
fake Federal Government gazette that I was
found guilty by the Army when I was never
tried.
I have proved that Obasanjo was an
incompetent commander. I have proved that
he was a wily and cunning fellow, and an
incredible opportunist who reaped where he
did not sow.
I have proved that he was an ingrate and a
hypocrite. More importantly, I have proved that
he was a coward, who ran away from the war
front to go and look for phantom ammunition.
Rather than respond to my claims the way a
gallant officer should, he has now responded
like a motor-park tout, impugning my person
and questioning my ethnic lineage. I never said
I was from Ibadan. I only schooled there.
General Obasanjo, this bolekaja style is so
demeaning. You live in a glass house, so stop
throwing stones. We, who have facts, pictures
and documents, meticulously kept over the
years, can tell the whole world one or two
things about you.
“Have a look at this attached picture at your
wedding to your first wife Remi. When the
photographer wanted to take the picture of the
bride and groom and their parents, you said a
few things about your parents which I still
remember.
L-R: Alabi-Isama, mother of bride groom,
Obasanjo and his bride, Remi.
It was only Remi’s mother that took the
picture with us. Please, don’t mess with the
memory of my dear parents. You know my
mother, an Ilorin woman, and you also saw her
at the war front. She told me who my father
was and she spoke his language, and took me
to his home town when he died.
I went to primary school in Owu, so I know
your family very well. You should be honest
enough to tell the world the story of the man
who was your father. I told you and wrote in
my book that any person who does not
appreciate the efforts of women has had no
good mother. Please, don’t go beyond military
tactics and strategies when dealing with me.
“You say in volume three of your book My
Watch that I could be in bed with a woman
while radioing my commander that I was in
pursuit of rebels. Hundreds of thousands of
those who have read my book The Tragedy of
Victory——a six hundred and seventy-page
book, complete with four hundred and fifty
pictures and thirty nine military strategies and
tactics, maps and documents—- will call you a
liar.
I am so surprised and even embarrassed that
a man of your status is still trading in gutter
rumours. An elder with a filthy mind, a leader
who lacks wisdom of age, does not deserve
any respect.
“I’m the same Godwin Alabi-Isama that
commanded the troops that liberated today’s
Cross River State in thirty days of battle from
Calabar to Obubra with no single casualty.
This is the same Alabi-Isama that advanced
480 kilometres in 30 days from Calabar to Port
Harcourt, liberating today’s Akwa Ibom, Rivers
and Bayelsa States with 35,000 men and
women with 15000 on logistics, building roads
and pontoons, with 8 men and 2 officers as my
casualties. Obasanjo ordered the attack of
Ohoba, a mere 24 miles from Owerri, in one
hour of battle, more than 1000 Nigerian
soldiers were dead.
“Obasanjo claims that when I once played
squash with him, I cheated. This incredible liar
has forgotten that there were witnesses to that
game. Those witnesses are still alive, and they
remember what really happened.
I played squash with him once in my life. He
could not make a point because I was not one
of his sycophants who would allow him to win
a game just to massage his huge ego. Look,
General Obasanjo, there was no way you could
have beaten me in any game.
You do not have the physique and agility to do
that. Apart from being a popular sports man
and soccer captain in Ibadan Boys High
School, I was Sports Officer in the Nigerian
Army, playing games from soccer to tennis,
athletics etc.
You never played any games at school let
alone in the Army. If you had been diligent at
your physical exercises as we were taught to
be, your protruding tummy would not have
become a butt of joke to many officers and
men of the Army.
General Obasanjo may try but he cannot deny
the evidence of the civil war tragic history.
While he got over a thousand soldiers killed at
Ohoba, myself, Alani Akinrinade, and the
brilliant and hardworking Pincer Team of Ola
Oni, Iluyomade, Isemede, S.S. Tomoye,
Salawu, Okwarobo, Sunny Tuoyo, etc. did a
better job at the Third Marine Commando. I
have stated how it was done in The Tragedy of
Victory, by writing to set the Civil War records
straight.
Obasanjo says I only wanted to make money
that was why I wrote my book, after all I was
broke. I thank Obasanjo for unwittingly giving
credit that I did not steal money in the Army.
I believe that this country Nigeria ought to
know by now all the crooks parading
themselves as saints. Now I know why
Obasanjo was surprised at my financial
successes abroad, and then sent his wife
Stella of blessed memory to me. She was my
guest in Houston Texas for a week.
We have video and pictures of the visit with
witnesses like Jack Gonsoulin, Rod Anthony,
and Tom Britton.
I challenge Obasanjo to a debate on military
tactics and strategies on the Nigerian Civil
War. He wrote about his team. Who were
they? George Innih went the wrong way to
Arochukwu when Akinrinade needed
reinforcement for the final battle to capture Uli
Ihiala airport.
Akinrinade told him that he would shoot
George Innih anytime he showed up. Where
was Obasanjo’s fake Apollo Battalion that
operated behind enemy lines, when he could
not capture Ohoba? When Akinrinade called
him that Biafra troops had surrendered to him
and the Pincer team, Obasanjo, who was
coming from a party, got lost looking for them,
as he did not know where to go and did not
know the way to Amichi.
I am not qualified to comment on Obasanjo’s
political achievements, if any, for this country.
The people and posterity will do that. There is
no president in this country that he has not
condemned. Haba! He always thinks that he
has the preserve of knowledge on how to rule
this country. Did the country move forward
when he was Head of State or President? He
destroyed the heart of the national security.
We can see the result today. He destroyed
education in many ways. We see the result
today. He destroyed a lot of other things.
As for how he has treated his family shabbily,
his wife and children have openly made their
comments. Those comments are in public
domain today and forever, even though
Obasanjo cleverly brushes them aside in his
current book.
“I implore Obasanjo to stop lying before he
dies.”

Here's an advice to the Mods, stop Obsessing over Buhari and sending every thread that has his name to the frontpage.

A thread based on an article with like 3 lines is suddenly so credible huh

And by the way isn't it so lovely how all these PDP Dogs are apparently disappointed in APC's choice of a VP. Honestly why cant these Halfwits just take a stand on their words and mind their own damn problems. These halfwits are making themselves look like colossal fools by going all over the place boasting that GEJ will Win blah blah, then suddenly they are so concerned about whom APC chooses to challenge him Well, Sorry but only people that make reasonable inputs and not pathetic personal attacks on Opposition candidates get to be 'concerned' about APC's affairs.

sukkot:
nigga go and sleep. lmao. nigga dreaming of biafra. stuck in the sixties a-s-s niggaz

JOSEPH ALSO DREAMT

Some ppl are so soaked into tribalism to the extent that even if there stateman is not useful as head, they prefer him to be the head rather than an outsider who is effective. Do they even consider the future of their children while believing in my geo political person? NL is annoying sometime when u read some ppls comment.

Lafem:
Who is Yemi Osinbajo? Anyone??

eddyline:
Professor Yemi Osinbajo is a Senior
Advocate of Nigeria and Senior Partner in
the Law firm of SimmonsCooper Partners.
Yemi Osibanjo is a professor of law and
was the head of department of Public Law
at the University of Lagos (1997-1999).

A former Attorney General of Lagos State.
Also a pastor in Redeemed Christian Church of God

XRAY21:



All buhari want is presidential burial

Chai!!! this boy you bad o

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa! Bola AHmed Tinubu has used his power over them again.... I can see some APC governors crossing back to PDP.....

AJINATU:
JOSEPH ALSO DREAMT

joseph is dead and so is biafra. lets move on. one nigeria

Good combo
Enforcer=GMB
Brainbox= Osibanjo

in as much as I don't like the man Tinubu, he has not stopped surprising me when it comes to making choices.
fashola》Ambode》 Prof. osibanjo
He earns my respect in this regards.

Good move by the APC.

BELIEVE AT YOUR OWN PERIL! NA SO UNA TELL US SAY NA AMAECHI SOME DAYS AGO.

AJINATU:
NIGERIA MUST DIVIDE

WE MUST ACTUALISE BIAFRA REPBULIC

Na so

WhiteTechnology:
The two born to rule ethnic groups are now battle ready to retain status quo


Ok

SS SE MB and all marginalized ethnic groups should get ready to liberate themselves from internal colonialists

how is this an ethnic battle, now it is no longer the northerners that are born to rule....

Now i know that this buhari is totally clueless! He ran to small boy Atiku to ask who he would nominate as running mate. Sorry for apc

sukkot:
joseph is dead and so is biafra. lets move on. one nigeria

LONG LIVE THE MEMORY OF DIM CHUKWUEMEKA ODUMEGWU OJUKWU

Gov. Amaechi disgraced by APC, No VP slot for a betrayer and a kindergarten politician

Hoii:

Also a pastor in Redeemed Christian Church of God

If so then he could actually add value to Buhari's deficiencies, especially the extremist tag that just won't go away!

9jii:
I Believed if Amechie wants VP slot he would've gotten it.
APC members are not about self ego,they are bout working together for the Interest of Nigerians.they're changed men and women.

THE CHANGE IS COMING 2015
ITS OVER FOR THE CORRUPT

Keep on deceiving yourself

This is not a good choice abeg.

At least 2 things are wrong here

1, No SS or SE on the ticket. These 2 regions are known for solidarity (our son) votes. SW don't need their son on ticket to vote for anyone. Plus, at this point in time, SE and SS see APC as Yoruba/Hausa party. They have provided more reinforcement to this.

2, APC need someone with already established visibility. Osinbajo doesn't satisfy this.

Amaechi or Oshiomole or even Rochas would have been better choice.

Pastor Osibanjo is a good man. He is a pastor at my church tfolc, but I won't vote for APC even if he were to be running as president. He'll be a pun in Tinubu's palm.

Hoii:

A former Attorney General of Lagos State.
Also a pastor in Redeemed Christian Church of God

can I hear some1 say Islamic party again?

Now I can confidently say GEJ till 2019. What a wrong strategy? Honestly myself would have helped APC map out dia strategy.

FastShipping:
I would have preferred Amaechi or Oshiomohle.

There can be ONLY one captain on a ship.

This choice was well calculated, if I may say so.

AJINATU:
LONG LIVE THE MEMORY OF DIM CHUKWUEMEKA ODUMEGWU OJUKWU

ojukwu ? the nigga is dead. what are ya a necrophiliac ? you romanticize the dead ?

Lafem:


If so then he could actually add value to Buhari's deficiencies, especially the extremist tag that just won't go away!

Very true. Lets hope the news is authentic

Now I can confidently say GEJ till 2019. What a wrong strategy? Honestly myself would have helped APC map out dia strategy.


GEJ till 2019
GEJ till 2019
GEJ till 2019




Buhari will still do what he knows how to do best which is LOSE!!!

AJINATU:
BIAFRA REPUBLIC SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED IN JESUS NAME

BIAFRA REPUBLIC SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED INSHA ALLAH

mumu. I be like christian or moslem 4 ya eyes

He is a lawyer

He is an academician

He is a Pastor

He is a motivational speaker

He has been in public offices before

No corruption charges against him

He is definitely good for the job, take it or leave it APC as a party got the best brains. Ameachi, Fashola, Oshiomole, Rochas et al understand that this is a Nigeria project that supersede their individual interest, their minds are not bigot-riddled like many of you crying foul here.

#OPERATIONRESCUENIGERIA
#GMB&OSIBANJO
#APC.................. CHANGE.

Sorry for Amaechi because he did not appreciate his brother GEJ, if he had work with GEJ there is no way he would experience what he is receiving from APC Leaders of today,

The foundation/strength of ACP is based in the southwest and the north, himself and Rochas are just like strangers/abducted child and they will never be allowed to maximize the profit/benefits of their contributions, and to Amaechi, this could be nemesis! Don't forget when he started, the brother (GEJ) were seeing him as good brother and in-law, even though there were little misunderstanding still believe that the issue can still be resolved, not knowing Amaechi has gone far having secret meetings with the northern political leaders, working against his brother and in-law.

I just hope someday he retrace his steps and reconcile with GEJ and let peace reign amongst them and may God let no woman bring separation amongst us.Amen.

Chai, Amechi I never see mumu like u. They use u to fight ur brother GEJ, use u as abok1 driver, use ur rivers money for campaign and at the end dump u.

27 million form money and war chest don enter thief.nubu account.

Chai who is this osibanjo? How much vote can He pull? Mtcheeew.

Up PDP!
