The government has to come into this matter these GSM service providers are  milking us dry in this country. Can you imagine that the unlimited plan for mtn in Cote dívoire goes for just  3000 Naira that is  CFA10000 per month while in Nigeria we paid more and don't have unlimited access then nobody even complain about it.

IBB, OBJ clash

‘You ruined our economy –OBJ’

‘You’re senile’ –IBB


A war of words has broken out between former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida and former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
Obasanjo had fired the first salvo in a speech he delivered at Redeemers’ University during the week, when he accused Babangida of ruining the country’s economy and subjecting the nation to bizarre political experiments during his reign as military ruler.

But in a swift reaction, General Babangida, while refuting the former president’s claim, observed that Obasanjo may have begun to suffer memory loss on account of his age.

Delivering a paper entitled: Nigeria at 50: What Manner of Celebrations? at Redeemers’ University, Obasanjo chronicled the events that landed Nigeria in the present economic quagmire by different regimes, both civilian and military, and came to the conclusion that IBB’s Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) was the worst disaster that ever happened to the country.

“Under Babangida, we had the most bizarre experiments politically and economically. First, we had Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) with devastating devaluation of Nigerian currency and subsequent destructive effect on the economy”, Obasanjo said.

The former president also described the political arrangement and circuitous transition to civil rule programmes under IBB as outlandish. According to him, the nation had a government which formed political parties with their manifestoes and constitutions written for them by the same government.

“Finally, we went into election, the results of which were stopped from being announced mid-way with the elections finally annulled without reason or cause. Then, Babangida ‘stepped aside’ without solving the riddle of the election.”

IBB, he said, “overthrew Buhari’s regime in a coup d’etat on August 26, 1986 and ruled the nation with draconian decrees for eight years before he controversially exited power after the annulment of June 12 presidential election.”

The ex-president equally took a swipe at the current political class, describing state governors and National Assembly members as extravagant, saying the cost of maintaining each member of the National Assembly has skyrocketed since 2000.

He revealed part of the reason why the late General Murtala Mohammed as Head of State refused to live at the Government House in Dodan Barracks. According to him, it had to do with the profligate manner in which the State House was renovated. 

“The cost of maintaining National Assembly today is ten times what it was in 2000. What has happened? The reason why Murtala did not live at the Dodan Barracks was the extravagance with which it was refurbished. Tafawa Balewa could not live in his due to public outcry. Today, our governors live in incredible houses all over the country,” Obasanjo lamented.

Commenting on the controversial zoning arrangement of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he described it as arrant nonsense.

He said there was never any zoning arrangement at any time in Nigeria, but was quick to laud the principle of Federal Character.

According to him, zoning was an unconstitutional arrangement and anybody or party promoting it is only trying to perpetrate illegality.

“If I had died in office, would the country have replaced me with another Yoruba or Egba person? No. What I appreciate is the principle of Federal Character. If there are twenty people working in a government institution, the composition must reflect the ethnic diversity of the country. There must be Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and the other ethnic groups. That is positive. Zoning promotes negativity. If we allow it, merit will be sacrificed and mediocrity promoted,” Obasanjo argued.

During the lecture, Obasanjo admonished the youth to stop believing in the mirage of being spoon-fed. Opportunities, he said, only comes to those who reach out for it.

“If you study my life, you will see that I am not a ‘siddon look’ person. Whenever I see opportunity, I take it. Stop the illusion that someone is fighting for you. Remember, if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for everything.”

The General said his generation introduced coup d’etat into the political system and also fought a devastating civil war to keep the nation together, admonishing the youth to strive to keep the country one, starting with the deepening of democracy and sustenance of rule of law.

On the crusade against corruption, Obasanjo said the momentum has atrophied abysmally. He noted that in 2006, during the heat of his regime’s war against corruption, everybody, both home and abroad, commended what his government was doing.

The drop in the intensity of the war against graft, he stated, is not due to dearth of personnel to do the job, rather it is because someone has decided otherwise.

He lamented that the country would be the worst for the lackluster attitude towards curbing corruption in the country, adding that when he was leaving power in 2007, the nation was rich in foreign reserves to the tune of $65bn but that that has reduced significantly to $36bn today.

The occasion was attended by the Visitor to the school, Pastor E. A. Adeboye, whom Obasanjo described as the most distinguished Nigerian, his wife, Mummy G O, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Oyewale Tomori, eminent dignitaries from academia and the graduating students.

But reacting to Obasanjo’s comments about his regime, Babangida accused the former president of a deliberate attempt to distort history.

Babangida, in a statement signed by the Director, Media and Communications of the IBB Presidential Campaign Organisation, Prince Kassim Afegbua, said he was not surprised at the attempt by Obasanjo to distort history, blaming it on diminishing memory.

“We are not surprised at Chief Olusegun Obasanjo's historical distortions. You know, when our leaders are growing too old, diminishing memory easily sets in,” the statement read in part.

Continuing, it said: “Those who scripted the document of the Structural Adjustment Programme are some of the best brains that Nigeria had produced and given their knowledge about economics and financing, they were able to articulate the document that laid the foundation for the rediscovery in Nigeria. Those who blame SAP for whatever reasons are either ordinarily or deliberately being economical with the truth or at best quite unfamiliar with the blueprints contained in the SAP document.”

On zoning, the statement said some leaders may want to rewrite history as a consequence of waning memory.

“We do not blame Chief Obasanjo for his comments on zoning. After all, he was in prison when the politics of 1999 was playing out. He knows little or nothing about the dynamics that threw him up in 1999. Hence he could be excused on account of such ignorance, but to think or suggest that zoning is an illegality means that the government he ran, which was a product of zoning, was an illegality.”

Warning Obasanjo about the consequences of trying to distort history, the campaign organisation urged him to be courageous enough to state the truth at all times.

“We are of the opinion that leaders who know their onions should be courageous enough to say the truth at all times so that they could serve as good role models to the governed.”

Speaking further, it said General Babangida did his best for Nigeria when he served as military president.

“He built institutions that were later bought over by same people now accusing others of corruption.  When Chief Obasanjo talked about governors living in choice houses, we were going to ask for the location of his 'Shanty' house at the hilltop in Abeokuta.

“We were also going to ask how a man described by Mallam El Rufai as being very poor and having only a miserable twenty thousand naira in 1998, suddenly became a billionaire overnight,” the statement read.
