Obasanjo, The True Nationalist Nigeria Has Had by Nobody: 7:59am On Jan 23, 2019
The only detribalised leader I've ever known in Nigeria is obasanjo. He was tagged president of the igbos and northerners during his tenure as president by my people. They didn't even vote him the first time in 1999. Here is same man who was defending buhari in 2015 all over the world, repairing his damaged reputations and lack of respect for the rule of law which truncated his government in the 80s rebranding him as a true democrat in the western world which led to his winning the 2015 elections. Now, obj is defending another northerner again cos he's seen that buhari obvuously has got nothing to offer, just like GEJ. Gej we were castigating then even did far more than buhari did. Most of his projects...If not all, are what the apc is counting on, as their performance. If not the corruption which marred Jonathan's government and his nonchalance on tackling it, he'd probably have been the best president Nigeria ever had, given those massive projects he orchestrated and executed to some stages.

Be that as it may, politics is all about interests. In as much as the ruling party has been busy attacking baba lately , I'd rather advise they ponder on the message instead of attacking the messenger. Nigerians are crying, the economy isn't working and no investors are coming in . Our debt profile is alarming, insecurity is massive and boko haram keeps spreading like wild fire. How i wish the war had raged like this while obj was in office. We wouldn't have heard about boko haram anymore because he'd have treated their fuckup, as he did their leader back then. Buhari can't say he doesn't know their sponsor...why is he not fishing them out and prosecuting them? Buhari is leaving leprosy and busy treating eczema.until their sponsors are prosecuted and their sources of funds are blocked, boko haram can never be defeated. The federal government controls the central bank, the commercial banks they find it easy to block the accounts of the opposition members in less than 1 hour but has failed to do so to boko haram sponsors who also operate accounts with our local banks. Foreign transactions are always being monitored by the CBN. They ship their amunition into Nigeria through same nigerian ports. I remember a day we moved funds overseas and our account officer typed an acronym to maximise space under funds transfer purpose. Instead of writing it in full, he just put the abbreviation under payment transfer purpose. Our payment was blocked immediately...taking us 2 months to get it sorted with the CBN. They say the acronym was similar to a blacklisted terrorist organisation's name globally. We almost lost that deal because we supplied behind schedule. I believe our government knows what they're doing and if they fail to act now, they're merely postponing the evils day and it's the posterity that would suffer it. Boko haram are now extending their base to the north west and north central. Our government have called them different names to deceive Nigerians, except me. They started by saying they're cattle rustlers when they first hit zamfara and my question then was...How many cows do they have in zamfara that I visit regularly? Later, they said they're herdsmen in the middle belt and now, they're called armed bandits meanwhile, it's same boko haram. Nobody is above the law. Nigerians should get serious about this and stop being sentimental. Good morning Nigerians.
