Its very shameful for the OP to ask such a silly question but since the mods felt it was frontpage worth, then no wahala. You can never compare a regional leader with a National leader any day. It is never done any where in the world. No matter as we deem it fit to hate OBJ mostly because of his ugly looks, he's an internationally reknowned and respected statesman of whom the likes of Tinubu are only hoping to be for now. Most people hailing Tinubu here are just enclosed in their comfortable cocoons in the south west and think the world revolves around them but the honest truth is that if you ask any international diplomat worthhis/her salt who Tinubu/Obasanjo is, 9/10 will know only Obj. Same also with an average Nigerian. Like someone posted earlier on, its like comparing a lion to a dog which is obviously an unfair comparison. |

Vincent101: You won compare DOG with LION? OBJ na LION you no fit compare am with baba Eko wey be DOG.The post says "who is a better leader" and not "who is a bigger leader". I think i'll give it to Tinubu because he has caused a revolution in his part of the country. Obasanjo hasn't even come close. Though but of them are not the kind of leaders we want in this country. 1 Like |

It could have been, "Obasanjo And Tinubu: Who Is A Better Politician? They got nothing close to being tagged 'leaders'! Both are 'grossly corrupt' and do play very dirty politics, well for me, Tinubu is a better politician anytime anyday, he has been in charge of Lagos his constituency since 1999 and we are still counting even took Obasanjo's consitituency (Ogun) and add it up to his 'other takes'! Tinubu na real 'don' in Naija politics! 1 Like |

Before answering the great and wonderful question, Here are the list of what and who a leader is: A leader is someone who leads strongly, but isn't bossy. Someone who is admirable but not superior. Someone who gets the job done, but doesn't rush. A leader needs to be someone you can relate to and understand . . .A leader gains respect just the way a regular person does. Act appropriately, don't be foolish, treat everyone as equals. Leadership is a process by which a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. |

A great leader helps a group of people identify what they want and how to get it, and then influences that group, free of coercion, to take coordinated action to achieve the desired outcomes. A great leader achieves results at a level far beyond what others achieve. Now who among those 2 is a leader or a great leader? |

jas_o: When you talk of leader it has to go with quality of the person in the sphere of deliverables.You cant point something good to OBJ? Did I hear that well,you must be a chronic goon to have said that. OBJ may not be a perfect leader but he was exceptional for the 8 years he was in goverment,yes he looted public funds but not as much what Tinubu looted in Lagos and he is still looting out Lagos dry. BRT ko BRT ni,beetle-heeded goon. . OBJ was able to polish the country image and re-establish the country to international scene after being battered and stained by the regime of Gen. Abacha. He succeeded in winning at least some Western support for strengthening Nigeria's nascent democracy. Britain and the United States, in particular, were glad to have an African ally who was openly critical of abuses committed in Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe at a time when many other African nations (including South Africa) were taking a softer stance. Obasanjo also won international praise for Nigeria's role in crucial regional peacekeeping missions in Sierra Leone and Liberia. The international community was guided in its approach to Obasanjo in part by Nigeria's status as one of the world's 10 biggest oil exporters as well as by fears that, as the continent's most populous nation, Nigerian internal divisions risked negatively affecting the entire continent. Before Obasanjo's administration Nigeria's GDP growth had been painfully slow since 1987, and only managed 3% between 1999/2000. However, under Obasanjo the growth rate doubled to 6% until he left office, helped in part by higher oil prices. Nigeria's foreign reserves rose from $2 billion in 1999 to $43 billion on leaving office in 2007. He was able to secure debt pardons from the Paris and London club amounting to some $18 billion and paid another $18 Billion to be debt free. Most of these loans were secured and spent by past corrupt officials. In 2005 the international community gave Nigeria's government its first pass mark for its anti-corruption efforts. However, a growing number of critics within Nigeria have accused Obasanjo's government of selectively targeting his anti-corruption drive against political opponents and ethnic militants, ignoring growing concerns about wide-scale corruption within his own inner political circle. Obasanjo is a member of the Africa Progress Panel (APP), a group of ten distinguished individuals who advocate at the highest levels for equitable and sustainable development in Africa. Every year, the Panel releases a report, the Africa Progress Report, that outlines an issue of immediate importance to the continent and suggests a set of associated policies. In 2012, the Africa Progress Report highlighted issues of Jobs, Justice, and Equity. The 2013 report will outline issues relating to oil, gas, and mining in Africa. Obasanjo was recently appointed Special Envoy by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon to the war-torn Democratic Republic of the Congo. He has held separate meetings with DRC President Joseph Kabila and rebel leader Laurent Nkunda. In the first place, Obasanjo harps on his economic programmes that he never forgets to proclaim are the only hope for Nigeria’s future. These programmes in one instance have led to the transformation of the banking sector and the consolidation of Nigerian banks. Now there are twenty five banks all with at least a N25 billion liquid asset base. It was also under his regime that Nigeria became a beneficiary of the debt relief packages from the Paris and London clubs. These packages ensure that the heavy financial burden that the Nigerian state bears at its yearly budgets to service debts from past governments is relieved. For the payment of $12 billion of the principal, Nigeria is forgiven its debts totaling $32 billion. This actually translates into a cancellation of the money owed to governments and agencies in the West. A plausible stimulant for this arrangement is the recognition by the West that if Africa continues to fall behind in the human development indices, new ideologies hostile to the west and even civilization as we know it could increasingly find breeding ground. The situation across much of Africa requires the intervention on multiple formats by the West if portions of the globe are not to be left open for ideologies whose only modern instruments are modern weapons. Besides, the impact of the growth in Asia and Latin America provides convincing evidence that investment capital is the seed for economic growth which in turn goes a long way in producing stable societies. With debt relief and economic aid, key ingredients are released to aid Nigeria as she strives for economic growth. 1 Like |
