The only detribalised leader I've ever known in Nigeria is obasanjo. He was tagged president of the igbos and northerners during his tenure as president by my people. They didn't even vote him the first time in 1999. Here is same man who was defending buhari in 2015 all over the world, repairing his damaged reputations and lack of respect for the rule of law which truncated his government in the 80s rebranding him as a true democrat in the western world which led to waiver on his ban by the USA for his stance on religious and ethnic violence in Nigeria. Now, obj is defending another northerner again cos he's seen that buhari obvuously has got nothing to offer, just like GEJ. Gej we were castigating then even did far more than buhari did. Most of his projects...If not all, are what the apc is counting on, as their performance. If not the corruption which marred Jonathan's government and his nonchalance on tackling it, he'd probably have been the best president Nigeria ever had, given those massive projects he orchestrated and executed to some stages.

Be that as it may, politics is all about interests. In as much as the ruling party has been busy attacking baba lately , I'd rather advise they ponder on the message instead of attacking the messenger. Nigerians are crying, the economy isn't working and no investors are coming in . Our debt profile is alarming, insecurity is massive and boko haram keeps spreading like wild fire. How i wish the war had raged like this while obj was in office. We wouldn't have heard about boko haram anymore because he'd have treated their fuckup, as he did their leader back then. Buhari can't say he doesn't know their sponsor...why is he not fishing them out and prosecuting them? Buhari is leaving leprosy and busy treating eczema.until their sponsors are prosecuted and their sources of funds are blocked, boko haram can never be defeated. The federal government controls the central bank, the commercial banks they find it easy to block the accounts of the opposition members in less than 1 hour but has failed to do so to boko haram sponsors who also operate accounts with our local banks. Foreign transactions are always being monitored by the CBN. They ship their amunition into Nigeria through same nigerian ports. I remember a day we moved funds overseas and our account officer typed an acronym. Instead of writing it in full, he just put the abbreviation under payment transfer purpose. Our payment was blocked immediately...taking us 2 months to get it sorted with the CBN. They say the acronym was similar to a blacklisted terrorist organisation globally. We almost lost that deal because we supplied behind schedule. I believe our government knows what they're doing and if they fail to act now, they're merely postponing the evils day and it's the posterity that would suffer it. Boko haram are now extending their base to the north west and north central. Our government have called them different names to deceive Nigerians, except me. They started by saying they're cattle rustlers when they first hit zamfara and my question then was...How many cows do they have in zamfara that I visit regularly? Later, they said they're herdsmen in the middle belt and now, they're called armed bandits meanwhile, it's same boko haram. Nobody is above the law. Nigerians should get serious about this and stop being sentimental. Good morning Nigerians.

Good morning bro......God bless you

Whether Obasanjo likes it or not he would account for all his deeds while in office- gashua prison straight if found guilty.

faaz24:
What is it with these foreign tours, are the foreigners coming to vote.

Obj should thread softly, he is on a lose-lose situation. If Atiku should win ehn, I think he will write another book from prison

u are naive ..if u think foreign powers don't determine who rules Nigeria, then you dont know wathsup in international politics and interest.. u myt do d voting but they determine who rules here especially british government

AllenSpencer:
Obasanjo's fall is inevitable

But he is already old, he has nothing to lose


Buhari will flaw OBJ

He thinks Buhari is like puppets like GEJ and Yar Adua.


He will be white washed....

Dont be fooled Underestimate OBJ at your peril. Jonathan is still crying today on how their withdrawal of support cost him his re-election

plus anyone he support wins and anyone he doesn't support loose.

> he was against abacha the nigga fell

> He supported yar adua he became president

> He supported Goodluck despite Buhari been loved in the North back in 2011 Jonathan won. Later GEJ lost his support GEJ then lost

> Now he's backing Atiku just watch how you'd be surprised to hear Atiku win

Obasanjo has no shame at all. Obasanjo that God saved from Death roll of Abacha, came from prison to become president and yet turned his back on Nigerians. I wonder why he exalt himself so high. A man who should be in prison for so many corruption charges. Abeg guys, neither PDP nor APC have the interest of Nigerians at heart. Our Destiny is in our hand now lets choose wisely. Am Nigerian who wants something good for the Citizens. lets pick from the young guys who has direction and plans for the country. AAC or any other but never PDP nor APC. God bless you

anonymous1759:
... Useless old man.. Did macron, Trump, Edogan, Obama, Angela Markel came to market themselves to Africa before they became president? Why must Africa leaders stoop so low for the international community... If we're not ready to Govern ourselves or stay independent we should call them back to colonize us.

Africa leaders are the reason the international community interfere in our affairs and also don't value us.. When you give someone too much importantance you Automatically loose your respect.

Obj traveled a lot when he was in office, GEJ did the same thing, PMB, the same And Atiku also going to the United States to prove a point. Obama didn't visit Nigeria for one i don't think Trump will...

Putin and Trump meet on Nuetral ground to show you they've Pride. But Africa leaders traveling upanda like they have no sense of Direction.

u cant stop dem from interferring in ur politics bkoz they created d one nigeria u are supporting today . so de have all right to interfere for d sake of their interest

ZeeBaba17:
it's funny that OBJ is reported to be going abroad to campaign for Atiku presidency (foreigners that are not voting) yet not visible at home during his campaign rallies (Nigerians are the ones who are going to vote). please don't let all these support fool you, OBJ is doing all these for his selfish reason. Imagine how he'll face intelligent people to market same Atiku that he has derided so much in his controversial biography.......... Old men without shame!

The earlier you know Africa is still under modern day colony by the West the better for you if you think it's your vote that will determine who becomes the next president then you really need to learn from The former Egyptian president in detention ATM

and when they did not want Gadaffi in Libya again you knew what happened and I wish you'd tell me if the world fought America

and you know what? Trump said he would not want to meet anybody as lifeless as Buhari all the US needs is just a few conviction why Buhari should lost and hopeful OBJ is doing that atm and then you'll see what would happen next month

Obasanjo is a hypocrite

BabaO2:
Nothing he can do, Obasanjo has not such power to influence UN, EU not even AU. At present, Buhari is the symbol of Nigeria, he is more important and respected than Obasanjo at this moment.
White people and world leaders don't tolerate crudeness and repeated inconsistencies. Obasanjo's arrogancy and complexity will surely destroy him completely, he has made repeated serious criminal pronouncements on Atiku and he's struggling to change it suddenly. No sensible leaders of the word will take him serious.

Ignorance at it's peak

it seems Atiku has promised Obasanjo a weekly allowance if elected...because both are corrupt minded people..or maybe he's planning to sell part of NNPC to him..stupid people

BUHARI kept attacking the media but can't do without having numerous media aides and media house to launch his propaganda... Always angry that the media is exposing his failures as govtZOMBIES will die of heart attack on February 19 when pdp must have recorded resounding victory in KATSINA state and all through Nigeria.we are supporting Atiku due to the following reasons; because he's better than Buhari in terms of academic qualifications, he's not tribalistic, he's not as heartless as Buhari, Atiku is more educated, handsome, and vibrant. Iam just ashamed of Buhari as a president, Buhari possesses zero quality of being a president. Buhari has no sympathy in him, he has no conscience as a human. If only my choice of candidate could win the election then I would've voted for my choice of candidate in Donald Duke, but for my vote not to split and favour that mistake could Buhari, I will rather give my mandate to Atiku, so that lifeless illiterate can be ejected out of office. How can an illiterate be a president? That's very strange and irritating. Like for example, in a university, before you become a vice-chancellor, you must have attained the height of professorship. So tell me, why will an uneducated man be a president of a country? who and what is he leading? because, as for me, Atiku is much more better than Buhari in every aspect. As for the corruption allegation, we all know that all Nigerian politicians are corrupt, just that some are more corrupt than the others. I hate tribalism and wickedness, which is what Buhari fully possess! To be sincere, Buhari is just a total disgrace, let's tell ourselves the truth. A president whose vice is 100% better than him. Mind you, Iam not playing politics, Iam just preaching the truth. Believe it or not, people pretending to like Buhari knows thatMajority of Nigerians are oppressed people but they dont know it..and have taken it as a way of life. Our dignity have been strip off us with little to hold on to....and they are not bothered as long as it can provide some scrumps of bread on their table at that point in time with no care in the world if the country burns to the ground.sometimes I wonder why matured and discerning mind have allowed this shallow thinkers to occupy every nook and cranny of the Nairaland.
People can vote for any one from any party who appeal to them but they should not market stupidity and insanity and call it Intelligence.

SAI ATIKUOBI FOR BETTER LIFE....The only person that owes Nigerians explanations on;
a) Why the Biggest economy in African and 3rd fasted growing economy in the world (2014) crashed in just 10 months of his assuming office, is Buhari.
b) Buhari is the only person that will explain why 12,4Million Nigeria lost their jobs because of zero economic focus of his govt.
c) Buhari is the only person that will explain why over N1.2Trillion was invested in Agriculture and we can't find the food on our dining tables.
d) It is only Buhari, that will answer why over 1,000 were killed (unprotected) by Boko Haram that he told Nigerians that he has defeated.
e) Buhari is the only person that will answer the question on the $1billion he claimed spent on arms and the Army chiefs said that they received nothing.
f) Buhari owes Nigerians explanation why has to pay about $500million for Warplanes that will be supplied in 2022 for a war that is speedily ravaging Nigerians now?
g) The question on the N9.4Trillion Missing in NNPC and catalogue of Looting by Buhari's family, friends, Party members are best explained by Buhari the Oil Minister and President is for Buhari to answer.
h) Buhari should have explained to Nigerians why he failed in all his 2015 three cardinal campaign points in 2015 of Economy, Terror War and Corruption Fight and only succeeded in bringing Poverty in the land.
This is why I said that Atiku was Right leaving the campaign Venue when Buhari fails to show up, as he can't Debate himself. BUHARI is a DISASTER.Buhari is lifeless! UNITED STATES PRESIDENT "Donald Trump..Poverty means integrity to Buhari , meanwhile he is deceiving people with false integrity, while embezzlling moneyBuhari's Days Are CERTAINLY Numbered.He Has No Idea On How He Will Be Run Over By Incoming President Atiku.

jelel6:
Bro, I cannot really disagree with what you said in your first paragraph because it's merely a position you took after witnessing OBJ speak in a religious gathering. He knows so much about African politics, he's exposed internationally and he's a good orator, and many more.

But OBJ is an ELITE. And as all things Elite, they only resonate in the Elite World. He's who can help navigate Atiku's candidacy in Elite world. He can help Atiku win Party tickets, broker peace deals and meetings, sneak Atiku into the US, get Atiku to address the AU, get Buhari to dine with Atiku, But Obasanjo can never get Nigerians to dine with Atiku because he's not, and never was a local politician

How's OBJ going to influence people in Otta farm vote Atiku talk less of people in the north? Obasanjo can support whomever he pleases. He didn't make Jonathan lose the 2015 elections. He didn't make Buhari Win. It's better to have his support don't get me wrong. But Obasanjo cannot make or Mar the Chances of either Buhari or Atiku to be frank because he cannot influence even his immediate family to follow his cue.

I'm hoping for a free and credible elections too. However, It's obvious you can never get the free and fair elections you're praying for because you believe Atiku losing is not a possibility.

While i believe Atiku will win only if its fair and free of manipulation, it all depends on nigerians. but its better to stick to atiku

adonis89:
u are naive ..if u think foreign powers don't determine who rules Nigeria, then you dont know wathsup in international politics and interest.. u myt do d voting but they determine who rules here especially british government

And on the other hand British listen to US opinion first and funny enough Trump dosent want to meet some lifeless individual again

Obasanjo! Obasanjo!! Obasanjo!!! eee melo ni mo pe eee.......? if u like go to Hell fire, your final destination but as for me, my family and friends
we are are voting no other person than Buhari/Osinbajo. Mo ti so temi o, ti Plane e ba jabo lona kokan aye oo

Politicians especially what we have today are all corrupt including President Buhari. (forget what they tell you or what they make you believe). There are no 'Angels' sent from heaven in politics.
Therefore, between moving forward and no movement at all, we must decide what we want. Forget stealing, they are all rogues, APC & PDP. What would eventually bring about a refined government is the involvement of the citizens in the running of government and holding their administrators to account for their actions or inactions. Between Buhari and Atiku, the difference is clear and crystal.
Atiku is our next president come hell or high waters...!!!!“The choice before us is between competence and incompetence, between broken promises and a man ready and equipped for the job,we must remove the clamity called Buhari and replace him with the Atiku the person wey go unite us and make our country start to work againBuhari is lifeless! UNITED STATES PRESIDENT "Donald Trump..WE WARNED those supporting Buhari that it was just a matter of time before the reality facing ordinary Nigerians caught up with them
You cannot fight a huge war with blunt weaponry and expired war arsenal. Buhari has so much blood, callousness, deception and incompetence on his hands going into this very important election where Nigerians decide whether the country remains in poverty and disaster or take an aim at rebounding towards prosperity.
In just 4 years, Nigeria has faced some of its greatest economic challenges since 1983 all because of one tyrant in Aso Rock. Watch how the economy will rebound again when Atiku becomes president, then you'll tell me if that tyrant in Aso Rock wasn't the one who caused the recession, economic downturn, high job losses, high inflation and poverty on Nigerians. Compare 1983 and 2015, you'll realize a chameleon will always be a chameleon.
God Bless NigeriaBUHARI IS A DISASTER 1.He made Nigeria the poverty capital of the world*
2.He brought recession
3.While Obasanjo removed Nigeria from debt, he plunged Nigeria back into debt
4.The Nigerian president who on national TV said he would not obey court orders
5.The most tribalistic Nigerian president ever*
6.He uses state apparatus to protect his friends while punishing and prosecuting his enemies
7.He pretends to be poor while his family lives in luxury*
8.He spent almost his entire tenure blaming past governments except himself
9.He has no knowledge of economics*
10.He admitted he has no knowledge of how to make money*
11.Over eleven million Jobs lost under his watch*
12.Herdsmen killing rose under his watch
13.He could not start and complete even a single project throughout his tenure
14.He told lies about his educational qualification*
15.He said he was only going to run for a single tenure
16.His party introduced vote buying into Nigerian political lexicon
17.He used police to threaten voters and intimidate them to secure electoral victories.
18.He rules with an "I don't care' attitude*
19.He only grants interview to foreign journalists.
20.He insults and de-markets the country when he travels abroad*
21.He built no single hospital
22.He enjoys foreign health facilities while his people die in dilapidated hospitals
23.He failed to disclose his ailment as it's done in transparent governments all over the worldThe only person that owes Nigerians explanations on;
a) Why the Biggest economy in African and 3rd fasted growing economy in the world (2014) crashed in just 10 months of his assuming office, is Buhari.
b) Buhari is the only person that will explain why 12,4Million Nigeria lost their jobs because of zero economic focus of his govt.

Like VP ?

Abbeyme:
Atiku the ATM.

SO Obasanjo now has the PIN to withdraw from this ATM...

Jiang:
I don't give a crap about ur perception

It doesn't mean it is not true.

Call him anything, I admire his courage and love not for today's Nigeria but the future. Accept it or not no past of present elected politician nor political appointee is free of corruption. It therefore takes courage to stand boldly fight corruption under the kind of leadership we find ourselves today.

Who amongst the past leaders have been able to speak the truth in public? Even those who just left office have been quite just because they have gathered enough to take care of themselves and their families.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Nigerian can be likened to women who by mere logic should know what is good for them in any relationship, but out of foolishness keep tolerating whatever bullshit is dished them for sake of LOVE or PEACE.

Tell me who has not felt the hardship caused by the present administration? Isn't it a fact that change is what we need?

I am an APC supporter by the way before you zombies or wailers start.

helinues:
Lol

EU, UN, US are now Nigerians that will vote?

Hillary was marketed all over the world than this , she still lost to Trump.

Anyways Ebele to him

Obj doesn't have to travel, he should do door to door campaign for Atiku at Abeokuta and let's see if he will be able to win his polling booth for Atiku. Obasanjo doesn't have electoral value and his days are numbered.

He criticized and quarrel with Shagari, Buhari, Babangida, Abiola, Abatcha and he was jailed.

He rigged elections for Yar Adua, he brought Jonathan but felt he was not good enough for 2nd term.

He supported Buhari but he won't allow him to work.

He worked with 5 Senate presidents, tolerate no criticism from anyone. Ask Audu Ogbe when you see him.

Too much killing. Harry Marshall was killed in his house after decamping from PDP to ANPP then. Don't ask me how asthma attack killed Dr Chuba Okadigbo.

It's only Ipob that is hailing Obj. Even Atiku knows that Obj can't be trusted.

Obasanjo will fight you if his personal interest is threatened.

Go to Obasanjo Presidential Library built by 36 State Governors and see what Obasanjo is charging children to enter the Amusement Park in the premises.

To me, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Buhari is not ready to worship and service Obasanjo and that makes him my candidate in this election.

Obj is seriously jittery about the coming election.

First it was letters.

Second it was forgiveness of Atiku but he hasn't withdrawn his book My Watch from circulations.

Again, it was travel visa for Atiku.

Now, to travel all over the globe to market Atiku and de-market Buhari.

No problem. It's his right to support whoever he wants. But he doesn't have to do it irresponsibly.

The voters are here in Nigeria and not abroad.

Baba agbaaya.

You're not an APC supporter.

If your Obasanjo had used the $16 billion on power judiciously, don't you think the hardships you mentioned would not be this much?

Damsyjay:
it seems Atiku has promised Obasanjo a weekly allowance if elected...because both are corrupt minded people..or maybe he's planning to sell part of NNPC to him..stupid people

if de are corrupt, wat is holding buhari from probing dem.. some of u buharist dont reason at all. so u dont know buhari's refusal to probe dem and send dem to jail is also corruption and an indicted on this administration

chiangwar:
Like VP ?

lol.

The PVC is needed to assure that the same people are not benefiting from the Wealth Transfer Program at the detriment of others...

Tareq1105:
You're not an APC supporter.

If your Obasanjo had used the $16 billion on power judiciously, don't you think the hardships you mentioned would not be this much?

There you go again dwelling on the past. If only you could check my info on my social media handles you'd agree.

If the whole of Nigeria keeps focusing on the past eg past 16years or $16 billion like you have put forward we will be providing other political parties right when they call (not me though for I am human first before any political party) ;Dyou guys zombies. Let's open our eyes and accept reality when it becomes necessary.

Baba, please when you're done globe trotting also load them in trucks to Nigeria and give them pvc 2 come and vote here.
Your defeat will surely begin from your home in otta , ogun state.

Obasanjo remains a problem to Nigeria.

He did this same thing for Buhari in 2015.
If Atiku fails to deliver when elected, he would still turn around overnight to campaign for whoever is in opposition then.

This makes you question, what's his ideology?
None.

10,000 Buhari's can't jail him

kayusely70:
Whether Obasanjo likes it or not he would account for all his deeds while in office- gashua prison straight if found guilty.

WritePal:
At present, if OBJ backs you, you will win. Buhari and GEJ knows it. Obj has too much international connection and support to make things happen.

Atiku is winning.

for na village that 1 go happen no be this Nigeria again!
