Obasanjo And Buhari: Which Was A Better President by HigherEd(op): 8:10pm On Feb 18, 2021
While Buhari administration hasn't ended I would like to take a poll on the public's general perception of the Buhari administration in comparison to that of Olusegun Obasanjo

Kindly state your reasons as to why one is better than the other.

comparing Obasanjo to Buhari is like comparing brazil national team to Niger republic national team.
Re: Obasanjo And Buhari: Which Was A Better President by CodeTemplar:
The difference is clear now even though both of them employed highhanded tactics in dealing with insecurity.
The economy wasn't a borrowing one under OBJ plus things were better under him. He didn't strengthen an unreformed military for a reason clearly. He was the real anti-corruption man considering establishment and targets of EFCC under him. Corrupt southerners and Christians went to jail as a result of moves efcc initiated unlike corrupt muslims northerners cruising with DSS as escort.
The list is long. He attempted to build refineries unlike the one building rails on loan to Niger republic. Even though OBJ met the shock and harsh realities of a sudden fourth republic democracy, the judiciary and other aspect of democracy where doing fine.

Obj, one million percent better, you are comparing Boeing airplane, to Chinese aircraft
Re: Obasanjo And Buhari: Which Was A Better President by excel101(m):
Obasanjo is made from God's image while Buhari is cloned, eventually when the wife, Aisha, discovered the truth, she had to relocate to Dubai.

We've never been lucky with good leaders, but Bubu is a natural disaster, a punishment for our sins combined with that of our forefathers undecided
Re: Obasanjo And Buhari: Which Was A Better President by Resurrection212: 7:53am On Feb 19, 2021
Someone should help me mention two or three obasanjo legacy. As a civilian president.

We are already know that buhari is not going to leave any legacy that thing is a complete stark illiterate. He knows nothing regard administrative.
Re: Obasanjo And Buhari: Which Was A Better President by Daddysidhan: 8:00am On Feb 19, 2021
Obasanjo is a nationalist and father for all while buhari is a tribal nepotist and the king of the north.

His Privatised Telecom Policy Took Up Exceptionally Well

The NHIS Act he helped promulgate was something I like to. NHIS cover 9 million people today (they can do better btw).

HigherEd:
1) Like For Obasanjo
During OBJ's era there were lots of improvements in economy, lots of jobs (Tuesday and Thursday guardian was always filled with job adverts), there was less nepotism in ministerial appointments (young, intelligent and vibrant change makers were appointed), foreign exchange was quite stable ($1 = N130 for a long period), we emerged again in the pride of nations. OBJ challenged youths to be productive, he pointed youths to agriculture, businesses, etc. Despite all these goodies, we still had several military invasion of communities such as Choba, Odi, Plateau State, etc, the military raped women and girls with recklessness during these invasions, these military invasions helped quell the anomaly in these areas but the atrocities cannot be forgotten. Also, we had lots of ASUU strikes as well, despite all the concessions by the government, we are yet to have a proper solution in our universities till date. The most annoying is the distribution of guns to thugs during elections which ended up creating the militancy we have in the Niger Delta.

MB's era seems to have lots of drawbacks than improvements. The economy keeps shrinking daily, inflation is high, foreign exchange is very volatile (Aboki exchange $1 for N480, when I spend dollars on my naira bank card I get charged $1 for N450+; these are quite different from CBN rate of $1 = N380). On security, MB's era has failed woefully, there is kidnapping everywhere, terrorists (some branded as bandits - a soft name for terrible people) everywhere, yahoo boys are going more evil. MB branded Nigerian youths as "Lazy Youths" internationally, inasmuch as we have lazy people, that statement did a lot of negativity to our image and self-awareness. On politics, we now have Supreme Court Governors instead of Elected Governors in MB's era; it's quite annoying to see a lot of nepotism in MB's era, people mainly working for their pockets and close families well being.

On a funny note, Tinubu could criticize during OBJ's tenure, now we have not heard him criticize in MB's era.

I would we wish we had another OBJ's tenure but it's not possible due to our laws.
