This hungry loser won't stop at anything to be relevant on Nairaland.

Get this into your thick skull: you impress no one!

atikubaba:
My friend go and rest and lick your wound for the next four years. Buhari is OUR president no matter what u say.

Truckpusher:
And the paid rant thinks he has an opinion?

Everyone has a right to defend anyone they wish to defend just like you defended APC propaganda and lies till you lied your way into Aso Rock.
Please, remind BABAONECHANCE that he shouldn't renege on his electoral promises.

You point out a sensible thing from the balderdash you are mastubatinng on.
If you don't like the sound of an illiterate President as your President, then you are free to change nationality.

barcanista:
I will trek from Lagos to Okrika, then to Omoku and then to Abuja "when" the bold is fulfilled.

barcanista:
Well well well... Make I siddon near you abeg or I fit lap you sef?

SeverusSnape:
Barcanista always nails it. Baba one chance has already started denying his campaign promises.

barcanista:
I can't help but to say "Thank you my brother". I won't be surprised to see them turn their anger towards your direction. It is part of their calling but [size=13pt]we can't be intimidated[/size].

dearpreye:
Bro, go and sit down as well....No one is denying the fact that GMB is our next president for 4 years. We are not just comfortable with the vuvuzela surrounding his anti corruption toga.

Barcanista only compared the two, especially now that OBJ seems to be playing the navigator role.

Truckpusher:
Counter his comments and stop foaming on the mouth like a dead maggot.

Stop disgracing yourself all over Nairaland! You are becoming irritating!

SeverusSnape:
Gbam!!!... Never.
Please let them turn their anger towards my direction. It's gonna be fun, I love beefs.

They probably assume that there will be no opposition after Buhari was announced winner of March 28 election.

Obasanjo Pre-1999 Antecedent:

General Olusegun Obasanjo rose to power in year 1976 after the assassination of General Murtala Muhammed. He set the motion to transfer power back to democratic administration that last tasted power in 1966. He successfully conducted the 1976 general election that produced the second republic government officials led by Alhaji Shehu Shagari and Chief Alex Ekweme.
Obasanjo also has the reputation of building Portharcourt II and Kaduna Refineries, and the Warri Petrochemical Company as Head of State. Muhammadu Buhari was the Petroleum Minister/NNPC Boss during this period.

The Pre-1998/1999 "Poor" and Incorruptible Chief Obasanjo

Obasanjo's 1976/79 Ministers boasts that Obasanjo could not boast of more that N20,000 as at 1998. Obasanjo was just too clean that even the BBC described him as "incorruptible Nigeria leader" in 1999. Today we know the rest of the story.

Obasanjo Came With Lots of Promises

1. March 2, 1999: Obasanjo Promised To End Corruption, and To Lead A Transparent Government

In his first public speech when he was declared the winner of February 1999 Presidential Election election, General Obasanjo called for political unity and promised he would lead "an open and fair and transparent government". He also Promised to fight corruption. In His own words "I will fight corruption,"
"Together, we will strive to bequeath to the next generation a truly democratic system of governance for our country,"

November 1999: Obasanjo Also Promised To Revive Ajaokuta Steel Company as well as stamp out corruption

2. May 29, 2000: Obasanjo Reiterated He Will Fight Corruption And There WIll Be No Sacred Cow

in his year 2000 democracy day broadcast, Obasanjo reiterated his vow to fight corruption and there will be no sacred cow. In his own word....
"For corruption, Transparency International awarded us the World Cup...for me I'm aiming put an end to corruption in Nigeria and there will be no sacred cows,"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/766035.stm

3. In 1999 Obasanjo Promised Stable Electricity
Obasanjo vowed to provide stable electricity. In fact his then Power and Steel Minister Chief Bola Ige boasted that the electricity issue will be resolved within SIX MONTHS

What Happened Next?

Rather than stamp-out corruption, President Obasanjo was alleged to be enmeshed in corrupt practices. The man who was said to have less than N20,000 before assuming power built a N7 billion Naira Presidential Library for himself, as well as the expensive Bells University of Technology, Otta and other asset. The man that promised "No Sacred Cow" became the complete opposite of his own mantra. The "incorruptible exGeneral" was indicted by the Senate in PTDF scam and was also alleged to have a huge interest Transcorp.

The man that Promised stable Power supply in 1999, had to tell us through his then Minister of State for Power and Steel Senaor Liyel Imoke in May 2006 that "Nigeria Should Not expect stable electricity till 2056" after admittedly spending a whopping N1.3trn on "Power Reform" between 1999 and 2006. allafrica.com/stories/200605150306.html

The man that promised to run transparent administration refused to sign Freedom of Information bill in 2007. The man that Nigerians celebrated could not organise a single Free, fair and credible election and treated the court with impunity.


General Muhammadu Buhari

President-elect Muhammadu Buhari like Olusegun Obasanjo has this "incorruptible" tag attached to his name. He was part of the Obasanjo government as the Petroleum Minister between 1977 and 1979. Like Obasanjo, he has vowed to run transparent administration and fight corruption with "No sacred cows". He is said to be "relatively poor" though he has property in Kaduna and Abuja.As at November 2014, he said he only has about a million naira N1m in his account that he had to secure loan to purchase his N27m APC Presidential form.
Like Obasanjo, his election is seen as a "new era" with people having high hopes in him. He promised to give Nigerians stable electricity which he specifically said at his campaign rally in Calabar in January 2015. In his own words “Our industries are dying and will continue to die unless we get the issue of power supply correct. We will resuscitate our industries,”http://www.punchng.com/news/ill-ensure-stable-power-supply-buhari/.


Similarities Between Obasanjo and Buhari's Backers:

In 1998, General Ibrahim Babangida (rtd) and the corrupt military cabals were the major backers of Obasanjo's Presidency. In fact, it was Babangida that asked Chief Obasanjo to run for 1999 Presidential election. People had thought that Obasanjo would put all these people where they deserve by prosecuting them, but on the contrary Obasanjo ended up as being a part and parcel of these people.

Buhari's backers include same Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu that is said to have become stupendiously rich within a short period, Alh Atiku Abubakar that was indicted by the Senate and EFCC over PTDF scam, Bukola Saraki, George Akume, Former PDP Chairmen Barnabas Germade and Audu Ogbeh, as well as prominent players within and outside the PDP that were in government between 1999 and 2013.

Foolishness is when you think you know, but in reality you don't know.

Truckpusher:
Surprise me with something else , olodo.

kITATITA:
Barcanistar is losing objectivity and balance in his analysis. I tell analysts to avoid emotions in their work. Buhari is NOT yet the President and Barcanistar is already dressing him on corruption toga; making false analogy between him and Mr. Obasanjo. Buhari has not failed in any campaign promise because he is not in power yet. Barcanistar seems to be on a free fall; and his reputation is being shredded with every word he writes. Good thing is that he has enough friends on Nairaland to help him in his redemption.
