When Baba talks rookie politicians shiver.Even I thou I don't condone most of the things he's done, on this topic he's making sense.Meanwhile on the prophesy of T.B Joshua that GEJ is guaranteed a win for 2015 elections if James Ibori is brought back to Nigeria to complete his prison terms, is yet to be fulfilled. Joshua himself is fighting going to jail.So based on Joshua, GEJ is defeated in a landslide.

adisa009:


I'm glad you've reasoned the very right way. If 70% of a country population is comprised of youth within the age of 30years old of frustrated boys and girls out of a total population of 178.5m people and an experienced ex president of that age is confirming and pointing out where shoe is pinching us yet we could not reason well on how to go about revolting against the cruel leaders instead resulted in counter blames, sorry is definitely our name as youth of this nation! Gov. Rotimi Amaechi said it, Gov Fashola said it, prof Wole Soyinka said it yet we didn't do anything about it instead, we keep abusing them. Let's see where blame game would land us.

Those people you mentioned did not say anything but mere beer-palour political bunkum. They are bunch of blackmailers and deceits. Don't waste your time listening to Amaechi, he is a political leech.

But wait o. We are always swift to call politicians and civil servants thieves, what about us as individuals? Do we also steal in our private businesses and families? I am just asking ooo.

You guys probably do.

I'll have yo excuse myself out of that cabal because I have no need to steal monetarily.

You are a big FOOL. This is a key member of Nigeria's rulling class EXPOSING his own people and you are not happy. APC members are as guilty as the evil PDP. What have you gained by bringing up the third term here. Has it reduced the stealing?. Are you sharing out of your senators $2million salary?. I dont think so..but your girl friend or future wife may do so soon.
So get serious with your life and be alive to ur social responsibilities. If what obasanjo has said is not 30% true then you are a real.big.idiot. I know it is 100% true because i have friends in both houses. So the joke is on you young man.


Thank you broda, u have consoled me.
Since reading comments here, I have cried for the future of Nigeria going by the thinking of ppl commenting on this naked truth.

For years, Obasanjo was both president and oil minister at the same time between 1999 and 2007. Oil revenues were not accounted to Nigerians. At the end, US $16 Billion dollars were lost under OBJ in the power sector alone. Now that ObJ lost the fight to appoint a new president to replace Jonathan in 2015, OBJ is demonising the people in political office.
Re: Obasanjo Rubbishes National Assembly, Says It’s An Assembly Of Thieves, Looters by AreaFada2: 2:58am On Nov 27, 2014
Let us focus on the message. OBJ is on point, hate him or like him.

He did not exclude himself from corruption, he's as guilty as sin like the others.

In fact he would have been impeached by NAS if not because of Ghana must go. The threat was obvious severat times.

As we now know, those threats were merely extortion.

What he's saying is that in Nigeria, the "good men" are too few just like the few good honourable ones in NAS.

Consequently, going forward, an incorruptible NAS would drastically reduce executive excesses and corruption.

And in society at large by taking EFFC & ICPC to task if they appear to be failing in their duties.

If you doubt OBJ, what did NAS do about Farouk "Hatfull Dollars" Lawal & NNPC missing billions of dollars among others?

Nothing but whitewash!

Do not be fooled, or were you not grown during OBJ Presidency when Ghana Must Go bags became the symbol of the relationship between OBJ presidency and the National Assembly? Look, OBJ JUST REHEARSED THE TYPICAL CORRUPTION PATTERN DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION. I an not saying there is no corruption at all today, but OBJ exagerated. He lost the fight to appoint another PDP presidential candidate for 2015 elections, the younger hawks in PDP stopped him long ago, and he is now branding them thieves.

Everything Obasanjo said is hard fact. In our dear country now MDAS give kichbacks to the national assembly before budgets are approved. At least, during the time Obasanjo, people got federal jobs on merit but today you cannot get anything except you know one powerful politician. All vacancies in MDAs are shared as slots. In his time, people were afraid of EFCC, but to day EFCC is toothless bull dog

So many hypocrite in this country ..We keep complaining Everytime about situation of Nigeria but refuse to accept the fact.Yes Obasanjo is no saint but has a very cogent point,but during his regime EFCC,Nafdac,icpc and so many agencies were functioning but now they Ve all gone into extinction.
All what they do is to chase Akara sellers,road side hawkers without addressing the cause of the menace in the society ,which re the cabals that are within the corridors of power.
A situation where the rich getting richer and millions of Nigerians getting poorer.Privatisation of Phcn,they keep on increasing the tariff but no light and the owners re smiling to the banks every month.
Keep deceiving yourself all in the name of useless TAN agenda!!

Abeg this is a critical issue nd all the point laid down need urgent solution followed by actions I just wish what prof wole soyinka said abt d youth is not right but nw it seems to b right cos we are blindfolded with religion and tribe abi na ethnic pls let us all think outside the box the past is gone we only have the present nd the future.

Do we now conclude that because the first born is a failure all other siblings must also be a failure abi what cos o don't see the indictment of OBJ wen we should all look at the point we re here attacking him are we all saying there is no more corruption in the land pls where is ICPC and EFCC today
NAFDAC nko where are they now they are all gone all we here of TAN abeg let's reason well

Fine my brother,but rather than blaming this present gov't, he should profer solutions as an elder statesman.
Re: Obasanjo Rubbishes National Assembly, Says It’s An Assembly Of Thieves, Looters by Nobody: 6:40am On Nov 27, 2014
Majority of Nigerian Youths are totally backward for-ever ...

Imagine, Obj raised salient issues which all of us should ponder about and possibly conscript our legislators and executive to be responsible to their duty instead of stealing the nation so bad ...

We all failed to discuss what the issues Obj raised but only castigating him !!

Most Nigerian Youth are ethnically, religiously, tribally ,dullardly and foolishly responsible for their woes !!

A GF once said , we Nigerians are the cause of what our Government is ..... We allowed the Govt to be what it is cuz we support the govt wrongdoings !!

You see one of the backward peep I'm talking about .... How did/do you read or find the alphanumerics on your keyboard !

You mean you could not see problems highlighted by Obasanjo in the Op and possibly deduced the solutions .... :

1. Youth empowerment

2. Stop bribing legislatures

3. Legislatures should stand to their integrity

4. A nation whose guard is corrupt is doomed

5. We should all learn lesson from arab spring

etc ....

If u failed to read all this in the Op and deduce more solutions from the problem Obj envisaged ..... Then , you don't deserve to even belong to social forum !!

The Nigerian youths are a major part of the problem of this nation. We waste our precious time fighting one another instead of uniting into a body to have a showdown with our enemies.

Every single meaningful thread created here will eventually degenerate into hate and division.

The Nigerian youths are more than enough to shake this nation for good. Instead we are wasting lives dancing Azonto and Kukere, while our commonwealth is been looted mercilessly.
