Finally a tested and proven performer joins the race.

CodeTemplar:
Makes sense but implementation is always a challenge.

Duke is tested and proven, implementation should not be a problem.

Cc: lalasticlala

Certainly by far the best.

Thank God finally we have a candidate with the tested and proven ability to deliver.

He is certainly the best out of all those who have indicated interest, congratulations to Nigeria.

Where is the power. Where are the roads

The 3rd Term is always relevant in any context that has to do with Bogus Politicians' Persecutionmania Tactics. That is why somebody very highly placed will soon attempt Suicide and will be electrocuted in the process.

Nothing wrong in wanting a third term as long as it is done constitutionaly. Kagame in Rwanda also had his countries constitution ammended for tenure elongation and today he is doing his fifth term and his country is far better off for it.

mightyhazell:
but obasanjo denied ever wanting a 3rd term.

Is wanting third term a crime Anyway this article is not about third term but about Obasanjo's legacies in office.

When Obasanjo became President in 1999, Nigeria was on a ground zero, it was a frustrated nation with years of dirty and tribal politics of IBB, Abacha and Abdul Salam.
It was also a nation with a dirty military with loyalty only to the assasinations of political opponents with almost $50b debts and $2.4b foreign reserved openly stolen by Abdul Salam regime in the last days of his administration, it was a task very few could handle.
Nigeria of 1999 was a people traumatised by the years of oppression in which a President Obasanjo had to contend with, his health was in problem due to years of incastration by Abacha and, his diabetic condition took a downturn on his look, a robust Obasanjo before he was jailed appeared ugly and mean, despite all that, he never went out of the country for medical attention, he believed in his people and like the last soldier in the Biafra war, Obasanjo became the redeemer of Nigeria.
The Military was cleaned up, with massive retirement of those who worked in any political capacity with the past military leaders, he went for the best hands to handle both politics and economic policies of the nation, he hired technocrats in and out of Nigeria to help in nations re-building.
Obasanjo was not a failure, he got results for his efforts, the military became an institution ready to listen to civilian authority, his administration introduced EFCC and other agencies to battle corruption and he got vissible result, he jailed his Inspector General of Police, and 3 Senate Presidents lost their jobs, and his VP Atiku was almost removed.
In his job, nobody could accuse him of tribalism, because he gave his best to his nation, those who tried to be like him failed on the platform of three goals of religion, tribalism, and godfather mentality, Obasanjo is above the class of all Nigeria leaders since 1960.
Those who hated him wanted him to be like them, but Obasanjo is above all sentiments, he covered his behind with solid facts, he documented things beyond ordinary, he wrote too details even in his books.
General Danjuma at one time called Obasanjo as the greatest President Nigeria ever had, he knew him as boss, and as a friend. No doubt Obasanjo is a proud man, he loves to make fun of those with half education, and he is a man very difficult to fool, and his words are just what it is.
The nation's electricity in 1999 had no base with only Kainji dam to feed the whole nation power grill, President Obasanjo created a new foundation for electricity in Nigeria, with new six new power stations based on gas pipeline from SS, and two new hydro stations in Mambilla, and Zungeru.
Private stations like AGIP, and Mobil went into energy prodiction but Nigeria population outspaced the very much he could do in office, which was why he asked for a third term and was denied.
All his projects started the new energy revolution which Yar'Adua and Jonathan mismanaged, as frugal and misery Obasanjo's presidency was, it is difficult to see how he will not be freed of corruption if Buhari is strong enough to drag him to Court.
When Obasanjo said, even though $16b was approved for electricity, he made it clear his administration actually got less than $10b and only $3.7 was spent, and the balance of $6.3b was kept in the escrow account of Central Bank of Nigeria.
The Oracle says It is very easy to believe Obasanjo because of his records in documentation. If not, why did the CBN not dispute his words?
However, when you live in a nation where leaders are too lazy to read, rumors and beer parlor stories will be the bedrock of political decisions.
EFCC and CBN can still take a second look at books of Obasanjo on the $16b but it is doubtful if it will not end up as a wasted venture.

Otunba Subomi has two rolls royce in the U.K apart from the five he owns in Nigeria. Kola Aluko also owns two rolls royce in the U.K.

SalamRushdie:
If that approval rating is not zero percent then it's wrong

Daddy Freeze trying hard to live up to his preachings.. We see you bro.. Meanwhile i just discovered that John D Rockefeller the American billionaire.. Richest Man ever, after Mansa Musa of Mali. paid tithe!! Browse it on Google and get surprised too.. I even learnt he was a staunch Christian who read his Bible everyday and attended Baptist Church... After reading it, I knew at once that Daddy Freeze babbles...
God said he will seperate his sheep from the goats. Jesus is the good shepherd, and I am his sheep.. So when Daddy freeze says free the sheeple, I know I am a sheep following my shepherd Jesus... (Matthew 25: 33)
FREE THE GOATS!!
Good day

Big lie Rockefellar never paid tithe though he was a christian. It's tithe scamers that invented that story to deceive more people into paying tithes.m

All hands must be on deck to send the daura dullaard back to his cows in 2019.

Even this list is not complete. Any list of looters in present day Nigeria without Bujari's name prominently mentioned cannot be complete.

laudate:
You know what fascinates me? Her writing skills. I read an excerpt from the book, and I was stunned. She spins a magical web with her words, and has a way of making the characters leap to life, with the way she weaves mystical folklores into a breathing, living sequence of events. If you are not Yoruba, it will leave you with a sense of awe. And if you are Yoruba, it will inspire you to no end....

By the time the movie comes out projecting the Yoruba race as a master race, some ipob yoots on this forum will drink rat poison

Maybe lalasticlala can name some.

Also the Dapchi girls reality show was initiated and completed by his administration.

Buhari initiated the construction and completion of a helicopter landing pad in daura shortly after he was sworn into power.

Really proud of this girl. Through the film we can showcase the rich yoruba culture to the whole world. I hope our Nollywood will be allowed to contribute and learn from the movie.

asuustrike2009:
You didn't answer the question asked

Perhaps you have comprehension issues.

asuustrike2009:
You haven't answered the question.did they involve the media house yes or no?

Yes they did indirectly. They invited the governor knowing fully well that the media will come with him.

GoodMuyis:
So what is your benefit from this, when everyone has moved on.
Them collect your money to build Bridge And Car Park

The massive church building they illegally built in a residential area will constitute a nuisance to me and other residents for years to come when ever they hold their service so I have a right to be aggrieved.

asuustrike2009:
They didn't publicized it either what is your problem

By asking the governor to come and commission it in a public ceremony, they did publicise it. Worse still some of their members are giving the impression that it is a benevolent act.

asuustrike2009:
Did they construct the bridge yes or no?
Wouldn't the bridge be constructed someday yes or no?

The bridge would not have been needed if they didn't build their car park there.

Blackfire:
At op deeper depeer will skin you alive today...



*walks out of the battle field*

They should stop being hypocrites by claiming credit they don't deserve.

M0ron:
Why is this not trending.
Ever since I read of the strange project,I sensed something was amiss. Since when did churches engage in public works?

If indeed the construction was procured by force,and in response to Kumuyi’s circumventing construction laws then he is just paying for his sins!


If you don’t mind, could you please share documentation of your petition to Fashola?

I don't have a copy of the documentation, this happened years ago.
