Oga relax, if you believe I am making mouth. You will not reply me. It is fear that is making you reply me, because you don't know me. Once again it is easy to make mouth while hiding behind a keyboard or a mobile phone.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has issued a scathing critique of Nigeria’s current state under President Bola Tinubu, labeling the country’s status as a “failing state” marked by pervasive corruption and leadership failure.

Obasanjo made these remarks during his keynote address at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum held at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, USA.


In a statement released by his Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, Obasanjo referred to President Tinubu with the epithets “Baba-go-slow” and “Emilokan,” a term popularized during Tinubu’s election campaign, to underscore what he views as lackluster leadership. He stated that the nation’s dire situation is evident to “every honest person.”


Delivering a lecture titled “Leadership Failure and State Capture in Nigeria”, Obasanjo warned that the nation is sinking deeper into insecurity, division, and underdevelopment. He attributed these issues to widespread corruption, mediocrity, and a lack of accountability.

“The more the immorality and corruption of a nation, the more the nation sinks into chaos, insecurity, conflict, and disunity,” Obasanjo said. “The failing state status of Nigeria is confirmed and glaringly indicated for all to see.”

Drawing inspiration from Chinua Achebe’s 1983 treatise “The Trouble with Nigeria”, Obasanjo reiterated that the nation’s challenges stem from a failure of leadership. He dismissed notions that cultural or environmental factors are to blame, emphasizing instead the inability of leaders to rise to the occasion.

Obasanjo also accused political elites of engaging in state capture, a form of corruption where powerful groups manipulate national policies, laws, and resources for personal gain. He highlighted the sale of national assets at undervalued prices and the undue influence of interest groups in shaping Nigeria’s economic and political landscape.

“State capture is one of the most pervasive forms of corruption,” Obasanjo explained. “What is happening in Nigeria – right before our eyes – is state capture, where public institutions are subject to undue influence from vested interests.”

The former president criticized the intertwining of business and political elites through family ties, lobbying, and vote-buying, which he argued prioritizes private gain over public welfare. He warned of the long-term implications on education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic development.

On a hopeful note, Obasanjo maintained that Nigeria’s challenges are surmountable, provided the nation’s leadership embraces accountability and reforms.

In honoring Chinua Achebe, Obasanjo praised the late literary icon for his lasting contributions to Nigerian society, describing him as “a great and distinguished Nigerian.”


The speech has sparked debate about Nigeria’s current trajectory and the responsibility of its leaders to address deep-seated challenges.

Btw, Mr Gate crasher is missing

Okiton:


Yoruba people see why ur brothers deliberately keep you hungry, so that in a day like this you can easily be bought over with two cups of rice. They have weaponized hunger and poverty against una and still una no go get sense

Quelme:
Remove every other king there except the Oba of Benin. That Obi of Onitsha is an errand boy.....

Omodua:
God 🙏 help us all. Politicians will go and country remains.

Let's be wise!

Believeintruth:
But you hail Asiwaju all the time and blindly defend his disastrous policies. Why re you now denigrating PO? Oga stop being stupid

Omodua:
Pummeled by who?

For your information, Tinubu didn't win election. He was fraudulent.

He "won" using INEC in cahoots with the presidency to come to power. So, Tinubu didn't receive mandate of the people.

Believeintruth:
Did I tell you that I am portraying anyone as saint? I am only telling you to stop this below the belt tactics you people are using because it is criminal and can land you in trouble.

Believeintruth:
Even in the West, you have politicians who strike side deals. The issue here is are they delivering or not? See this your scope of trying to change the topic is stale.

Believeintruth:
Oga I never said I will picked. I painted a likely scenario that of you are picked. As a sensible person, that should make you think about the consequences of the things you do. Only Animals and fools do not do a retrospect and consider the future consequences of their actions.

Believeintruth:
Again I ask you a pertinent question. If you are picked now and charged to court, can you beat your chest that Obiano, who doesn't know you will testify on your behalf and corroborate this headline that you put as a screenshot?
Please be sincere.

Believeintruth:
Oga if you are picked up and charged to court now to prove this statement. How would you do it? This is clearly a fake publication. Where will you start from? Where will you locate the person who made this claim? Oga be very careful, those who paid you to do this will deny you when the chios are down.
Go and look for a decent job to do.

Believeintruth:
Let the courts prove it, but you risk criminal proceedings if you continue maligning him.

Believeintruth:
Do you really know what a dictator is? You people should be careful how you malign someone's character because you are paid by politicians to do so. Some bloggers are currently facing trial for aligning the image of GTB CEO. This is exactly what you people are doing and the same fate awaits you, and the politicians who paid you will deny you flat.

MadamVanessa:



To be perfectly honest, I don't like him, but the way he exposes these fraudulent celebrities who exploit people throw advertisment and other ventures, exposes fraudulent cone pastors, exposes deep corruption in the Nigerian system is the reason I am forced to like him.

I donated 100k to his NGO , I wouldn't have thought that I could do that. But I know that the money will be well utilize hence I didn't wait a second to donate to the NGO. He's not like other frauds.
