1)My gut feelings and my faith tell me that until God shuts a door, no human can shut it.


2)Corruption, the greatest single bane of our society today.


3)I am a black man inside and outside and you are white men on the outside, but inside, you are Africans like me.

4)I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge that our foreign friends are welcome to join in our endeavor to develop the resources of our country.

5)Nigeria has no business with poverty. With our human and material resources, we shall strive to eradicate poverty from our
country.

6)Pope John Paul II not only visited Nigeria twice but stood by the country in its fight against dictatorship and injustice.

7)What the oil producer gets paid is about 16 percent. The majority of it is tax, which in fairness to the government of this country they have accepted and admitted.

I will not say the fact that there are no European Union observers at an election means that it will not be fair and free.

9)Let me make a solemn pledge before all of you, before the whole world and before God, that I will devote all my energy and all I possess in my power to serve the people of Nigeria and humanity.

10)My joy knows no bounds... I will devote all my energy and all the powers available to me to the service of Nigeria and humanity.

11)Unfortunately, the true force which propels our endless political disputes, our constant struggles for political advantage, is often not our burning concern for democracy, it is often of our dedication to the principle of the rule of law.

12)We will as soon as possible reexamine our laws and policies and eliminate all obstacles to genuine investment.

13)We will work to bring an element of stability to the price of oil.

They are silly quotes.

The smartest president Nigeria ever produced with a very interesting sense of humor

i heard nobody love Nigeria like Obasanjo... i believe it. Baba na Abami-eda!! Respect to greatest leader frm d greatest nation in the Black African Race....

1. After recovering from a fatal 3 day coma 'i dey kampe'
2. When asked if Buhari would beat Jonathan in the election
'he he he i just dey laugh'
3. The Nigerian house of assembly is filled with criminals.
4. On hearing that ibb said he squandered Nigeria's resources and that ibb was celebrating his 70 birthday
'he he heee! IBB is a fool at 70!'

My favorite is " I dey laugh "

^lol

Prof Corruption: They are silly quotes.

it takes a silly Arrow to know a silly quote. @topic OBJ is indeed intelligent and a wise leader. On a related issue, aside 'i once had no shoes', i Dont think Oga GEJ has make any statement worthy of quote.

What is brainy about these quotes? That a hypocritic and foul mouthed president said things he never meant.Besides we expect a man in such a distinguished office as the president's to say things that much more brainy, philosophical and logical. These quotes are only close to sophistry.
Brain indeed, i dey laugh o

they are still meaningful to him anyway.
But I DEY LAUGH O!

Y'all watch out for Obasanjo book launch in Abeokuta very soon in 1st week of March. The book is being published by bookcraft ltd. Check www.bookcraftafrica.com for more detail....

Baba Iyabo Inspirational quote

Only if obasanjo actually meant 1 of those several sentences oh Nigeria would be a wonderland. That's how oshomole and rochas are making promise and dropping sweet lines but we are still arguing if they are for us or for themselves.

is this a QOUTES or SPEECH? maybe you should have written Obasanjo SPEECH ...... the man is one of the founder of Nigeria Problems, he should just go mute, go and read Awolowo Qoutes

I'm sorry to say, but those quotes by OBJ listed by the OP are not brainy. Surely there should be more brainy quotes from OBJ!
