Yambee:
And any senseless idiot can put up a write up like yours.

And any zombie can masturbate on a thread that's above his cranial capacity.

verifiablefacts:
the man mentioned $16m and you asking for specific?

$16 million where? how ? when ? on what ?

any idiot can throw up figures.

helinues:
So Tinubu is now your source?

Who winch you people?

I know Tinubu is your oracle and probably does all the thinking for your region. Read up what he said about the great OBJ that taught him lesson and made him turn from his criminal ways.

helinues:
Stop saying what you don't know. Abi no be same ebora owu for opposite Afrograms? Tah

DOn't quote me, quote Tinubu.

Here's what he had to say about OBJ in 2015

A former Lagos State Governor, Bola Tinubu, on Thursday admitted former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, re-shaped his life positively.

Mr. Tinubu, who is a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, stated this at Mr. Obasanjo’s 78th birthday lecture held at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Mr. Obasanjo caught Mr. Tinubu unawares at the occasion, when he called on the former governor to address the guests.

“You trapped me innocently with a great wisdom of a 78-year-old,” Mr. Tinubu said. “I’m honoured to be here and many of you will see this as a rare occasion but this is an opportunity to pay tribute to a nationalist, a teacher, a disciplinarian and a tutor in dignity and boldness.

‪Mr. Tinubu, however, acknowledged past altercations between both leaders while they were in power.

“Yes, it is true, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in politics,” he said. “What is common is common interest. Once upon a time, some nine years ago, I went to the (Aso Rock) Villa, the President, Olusegun Obasanjo, asked me to walk out and was just abusing me in the papers and I said, “Baba, you are a tenant here. This house belongs to Nigeria. If I get to Ota, you can send me out. I brought file about Nigeria.”
And he said, “That is true, sit down.”

‪He said despite their less-than friendly past, Mr. Obasanjo was still worthy of celebration.

“If I could tell you several events that occurred between the two of us in the interest of the nation, I would write an epistle but today is not for that,” Mr. Tinubu said. “But how do you celebrate truly and honour a man who has kept you on your toes? Between Baba Olusegun Obasanjo and myself, what I can say is gratitude from me because you kept me on my toes.

“Each time we disagree on things of principle, I took him to court. One time, as the President, he saw me and said, “You took me to court. We can’t be friends after the court.” And I told him, “I didn’t take you to court, I took the Nigeria President to court.” And he said, “Get out of my way” and I told him, I wouldn’t get out of the way until I get what I want.”

Mr. Tinubu also disclosed a recent attempt at an alliance with Mr. Obasanjo, who was formerly of the Peoples Democratic Party but now an elder statesman without any party affiliation.



“…When we started this present regime of merger and alliances and we visited him, we told him we wanted him to be a navigator,” Mr. Tinubu narrated. “He said, “Navigator? I am still in my party. I will try to avoid partisanship because of Nigeria. If you people put up a good team for the sake of this country, I will give you wisdom.”

“And if you look at what has been happening since then, Obasanjo is an open book, you read a line, you pick a paragraph, you learn, you comply. If you drink from that fountain of wisdom, you will see value in it. He is very committed to the Nigerian nation.

“As we were talking few minutes ago, I said Nigeria is the giant of Africa and he said, “I hope you will remove the k-leg.” I said, “The elephantiasis would be killed.” He said by what and I said by the APC.”

Mr. Tinubu praised Mr. Obasanjo for quitting the PDP by publicly tearing up his membership card.

“It wasn’t about anything else, it was about the love of our country, patriotism, putting the country first before self,” he said. “There’s nothing Obasanjo would have wanted in terms of material wealth, oil well, oil lifting – whatever from (President Goodluck Jonathan) that he wouldn’t have gotten or what from PDP that he wouldn’t have gotten as a retention service.
“He put all of that aside, believed in the unity, cohesion, and progress of this country in order to free himself from that bondage of commitment to partisan politics that is probably drifting in the middle of the storm of a political change. He would rather be afloat and chart a new course.”

Speaking at the event, Mr. Obasanjo warned against toying with loyalty to the country in the interest of its developmental growth.

“Loyalty and relationship must be guided and controlled by what is true, what is right and what is in the best interest of the majority,” he said.

He said loyalty to Nigeria should not be undermined by anything except the truth.

He noted that the two of the event’s speakers in their presentations did not suggest magic as solutions to Nigeria’s problems. He said there was nothing they told the gathering that was impossible.

“But all they have said boils down to one thing – leadership, and until we get it right, anytime we do not get it right, we cannot get any other thing right; don’t let us deceive ourselves,” Mr. Obasanjo said. “Whether it is security, science and technology or innovation or the development of the economy or education, they all boil down to leadership and at all levels. May God give us the leadership that occasions like this deserve in Nigeria.”
‪
Mr. Obasanjo expressed optimism that Nigeria would get it right. He said the citizens have no choice than to do well.



“I am an incurable optimist about this country, and maybe because I have seen, in my short span of life, a little bit of what is possible and a little bit of what can go wrong and what can be made to go wrong, then, maybe that is why I am an incurable optimist and I believe that all will be well in this country,” he said. “We have no choice anyway; all has to be well.”

‪He said there was no reason why any Nigerian child, at this point in time, should not have basic education and good food and the youth, employment.

“And if all those things that all these young ones are expecting are not there, in 15 years time, they would be good recruits for Boko Haram or its equivalent,” Mr. Obasanjo said.

[quote author=helinues post=74949512][/quote]Obj is one of Nigeria's greatest presidents, if not the best.

Yambee:
Fortunately I don't patronize beer joint, neither do I drink. You dug Obasanjo's history out, and I am surprised you missed the points I raised.

Stop being selective. OBJ is 70% why Nigeria is where it is today.

He is more corrupt than even Atiku.

Again I ask, can you point to specific instead of making general unfounded statements.

All what I listed in my OP are verifiable.

Yambee:
8. He stole $16 Billion for electricity too. List it as his achievement too.

9. Under his nose, Atiku stole so much, he took Nigeria 45 yrs backwards.

Please can you point to specifics? This is not a discussion for kids with beer parlour propaganda.

helinues:
Obasanjo is now an hero just because he is supporting Atiku's candidacy

Chei

OBJ has always been a hero.

I know buhari's supporters will start attacking the person of OBJ without having anything to say about the important messge he's passing.

Before we forget so soon, Obasanjo was probably one of Nigeria's best President since this democratic dispensation.

Listed below are some of his achievements.

1. Obasanjo established the EFCC and ICPC and also strengthened the Code of Conduct Bureau to fight corruption in Nigeria. Criminals, from top politicians like Tafa Balogun, Bode George to swindlers and internet fraudsters have been sent to jail by these agencies.

2. Foreign reserve when Obasanjo came into power was just $2 billion in 1999. But when he was leaving office by 2007, foreign reserve was a whooping $43 billion.

3. He secured an $18 billion debt relief from the Paris and London clubs and got Nigeria free of debt

4. Obasanjo brought in mobile telecommunications (GSM) into Nigerian which arguably has been the greatest achievement by any Nigerian leader.

5. Obasanjo discovered people like Charles Soludo, Okonjo Iweala whose contributions to national and economic development cannot be overemphasized.

6. Obasanjo launched Nigeria's first satellite in space, Nigeria Satellite 1 which ensured good internet and mobile communication.

7. Obasanjo ensured the dramatic development of Abuja under Mallam Nasir El Rufai as ministers with the Abuja Masterplan

Humblezack:
After destroying our economy with his partner in crime Atiku. He’s now running his mouth. I don’t know how any sane person can vote for Atiku.

how?

can't believe I'm saying thus, but we need python dance on the entire south east.

These IPOB fools must not be allowed any free hands.

azimibraun:
From his shameful and indefensible action occasioned by his pulling out of the presidential debate due to the absence of PMB, Mr Atiku has clearly made his intentions known to many Nigerians who could easily read between the lines.
Atiku simply has not other intentions than to Enrich himself more and a his friends, then implement his priority plan which is to NAIL President Buhari and all those who he thinks have done him dirty over the years. OBJ must also be on the look out.

Yes that is why we are voting him a thousand times over.

we need someone to open APC Nyansh.

Are you done ?now go back to reading your story book.

Abfinest007:
What A Shame. Atiku Played Into APC
Hands by not appearing on debate
Atiku messed up. Atiku should have
realized that among the illiterates,
almajiris etc, he is no match to Buhari
who they almost see as a god. I sincerely
thought that he would have used the
opportunity of the presidential debate
to consolidate his hold among the
enlightened ones, but unfortunately, he
simply played into APC hands. What a
shame. I am totally disappointed in his
absence.

it's no debate if Buhari or APC wasn't there.

writefreely:
man you can't be serious. Don't ever in your life compare America's democracy with Nigeria's.

For now, Nigerians are still under chains and have obviously been cowed by low self esteem because of a poverty mentality.

Atiku will not secure more votes than Buhari and I wish those people who want to throwaway their votes to Atiku can reconsider one of the young cadid candidates like Kingsley Moghalu who obviously has a plan for Nigeria.

you are quite dumb.

The debate is a borrowed political activtity....from the USA.

of you are going to do it, then do it right.

Atiku will secure more votes than Buhari. Go cry into your dirty closet.

oyebanji44:
Atiku is a colossal failure..

if you can call someone that has a chain of very successful companies a colossal failure , what will you say of Buhari that the only other thing he's done with his life is raise 150 cows year in year out?

seunmsg:
Smart decision bro. Atiku is not worthy of our votes.

see these Buharidense supporters now campaigning and worried about Atiku's campaign.

zombie go and face your Buhari and leave our Atiku for us.

debate or no debate , we still like him like that.

slimfit1:
Atikulated thief.

painment

SmartMen:
Atiku goofed yesterday big time. I can't stand the arrogance of someone who wants my vote.

Of course, I wasn't expecting him to answer all the questions correctly but just appear and say something... And he failed. It is just sad.

it's like asking Donald Trump to debate without Hillary Clinton.

He showed up man. And he made a statement.

Charmingrascal:
Atiku really messed up. A platform for him to sell himself to Nigerians maybe he will garner more support he refused to debate because an incumbent President who has upper hand in the election refused to show up. Whoever advised Atiku does not really want him to win the election, he should avoid the person that person is his enemy pretending to be a friend.

He's been selling himself in the different campaigna he's involved in.

The debate was to compare policies and trust me, without the leading opposition, its quite useless.

seunmsg:
A very silly attempt at damage control. Atiku is contesting against 70 candidates and not only Buhari. Three other leading candidates were at the venue of the debate to engage him and millions of Nigerians were waiting patiently at home to listen to his plans. As habitual of rogues and fraudsters, he appeared at the venue as if he’s willing to debate only to run away when it mattered most. Nigerians cannot be fooled. Atiku’s attempt to play on our collective intelligence is dead on arrival. He skipped the debate because he has no plans to tell Nigerians other than his intention to enrich himself and cronies like Reno.

Shut up.

What's a US debate without Democrat and republican candidates?

Truth is, there any any true debate in Nigeria without PDP n APC participation.

When buhari is ready for a debate, Atiku would debate. Right now it's just a charade.

let me add

Timipre Silvia effc case

OSHI mole

Most likely drug related.

Another victim of feminist.

I hope feminist are happy now.

Every time I go out in public I think about how much I hate the public. And I can only assume it is mutual. Crazy Bloggers; Politicsngr wants to become Linda ikeji by force

Must you always type stupid stuff?

This guy is smart tho.

This is why they are fighting CJN.

Nothing more.

ValCon888:
To all those saying the man is a 'gentleman' or 'weak', he is not. It is the woman that is strong. For having the guts to stand up for her marriage.

He thought he was an unstoppable force not knowing he married an immovable wife.

don't know we still have Nigerians that reason like this. So you are condoning domestic violence because it's a woman involved?

Thank God it's a video. The guy would definitely get a quick divorce from this demon.


I honestly do not wish you a wife like this man.

life2017:
As a neutral right thinking Nigerian, what does the news suggest about Atiku?

Which of the following is more likely in JAMB comprehension exam.

From the passage above from the OP, Atiku can be describe as a:

A. a fugitive and a crook.
B. a dishonest man.
C. a man with low integrity.
D. a honest man
E. Option A,B and C.

You are neither neutral nor right thinking... You are just one of them zombies

Keep telling folks, money is not everything

Vanguard is trash.

Sponsored article from APC quoting the drunkard laurreta as the source..

Now I know APC are truly in pains.

So terrorists can be listed as diplomatic aides and the US would allow them enter their country?

APC always reasoning through their anus.

KingOfAllIgbos:

Unfortunately for you, both are more successful than anyone in your lineage past, present and future can ever hope to be.

RIP in advance

People like you are the reason this generation would never be taken seriously.

danot1030:
Buhari does not need a debate to win an election, let those that wish gain political popularity or point go and debate Baba will still defeat them at the election

Shut up. Its not about winning election.

Its a mark of a good leader to at least tell the people your plans when you win.

No presidential candidate in the USA can abscond the debates..... No matter how popular they are.

It's a shame that a young man like you is supporting acts such as these.
