Obasanjo is actually well respected outside Nigeria.

Someone mentioned Kofi Anan. Who is Kofi Anan in African geopolitics? He was holed up with the UN in New York, Geneva etc for about 30 yrs. What does he know about the @african terrain.

Some people are not natural leaders. Obasanjo is, but the likes of GEJ & Kofi Anan are not, tho they are prob nice chaps.

I dont see anything wrong in that as far as i'm concern if people in Nigeria dont like him that does not mean the whole should hate him, so if he is ECOWAS choice choice fine because if we rant and shout till heaven comes it make no meaning in as far Obj is their choice nothing can anubody do about it that is just the way I see it.

I am not Obj follower or fan but I did not hate him I just see him as one of those bad politician but thank God all of them in this category are going out of our politics bit by bit and surely they will all fade away and we can have our peace.

and what does this have to do with him being an envoy to ivory coast ?

@Bluetooth,
i find it difficult to understand how nigerians reason.
what moral justification does obj or jonathan have in medalling peace in cote d'ívoire?
what gbagbo is doing in ivory coast is exactly what obj tried and failed in his third term agenda. what will obj tell gbagbo? the crime of election mal-practicies/rigging is a native of nigeria and have become a culture under the pdp lead govt.
i v already lost my business in abidjan for the fear of nigeria's involvements. ivory coast is called petty paris - small paris and can never be compared to nigeria when it comes to basic arminities including security.
what pdp and nigeria shld be doing at the moment is finding a way to be like ivory coast and not finding a way to cause more problems in a peaceful country.
obj belongs to the zoo and has no moral standard to preach peace anywhere in this world unless in hell.
a president who cld not tell the citizens what happened to a siezed ship and who cld not tell his ppl who killed his attorney general is not worthy to be an envoy.
jonathan is a confussed man without destination or programmes for his ppl.
i expect nigeria to concentrate on how to have steady power supply like everyother country of this world and stop this deciet moves of theirs.

Baba Iyabo only needs to eat pounded yam with that Gbagbo guy and the next thing is that the guy will find himself ousted.

Gbagbo is in BIG trouble 'cos Baba will only behave like a snake and wont even use force. One thing is sure: result we now come out the Baba way.

Rejoice Cote D'ivoire solution is near. For good or for bad.

secondly i am in support of people saying the US want to use us a there weapon in africa, this man gbogbo has spent up 11 yrs in office why can't he live there so some else can take his place undecided is he the only one that knows how to rule the country or knows what is good for his country undecided

sorry to hear about your business. I agree with one or two of your points but disagree with others.

Whether we like it or not, Nigeria is the senior partner in the Ecowas project - we effectively bankrole the organisation & its peace mission both in terms of personnel & cash. Cue Nigeria's widely acknowleged role in Liberia, and sierra leone. How can you the say we have no moral right to talk peacefully to both parties in Iv coast?

You are the one thinking abnormal here.
Jonathan is operating as chairman of ECOWAS here and not president of Nigeria.this is a matter of diplomacy not the regular pdp vs Acn of naija politics.He is empowered by Ecowas charter to delegate envoy to troubling states withing the region and i see nothing wrong if obj happens to be the non-state actor he's appointing.

Guy sharraap and leave this place. your opinion will not change the greatness of the gladiator named Aremu OBJ. it's unfortunate you are helpless in this case as your opinions goes just as far as your computer and ends just on this thread. take a glass of water for your disappointment on the choice of OBJ to reduce your blood pressure.

Also I disagree that Obasanjo is not qualified to be a negotiator. You may not have liked him as your leader, but please mention just 2 African leaders who compare with Obasanjo in experience & longevity in the African geo-political scene.

I agree wwith you that it would be anomalous for nigeria to send troops into an independent country  that is prob in better shape than we are economically

Who is looking for moral justification? Ivory Coast is at the verge of  bloody civil war with millions of innocent lives at risk and you are looking for moral justification?

That OBJ had third term presidential ambition does not make him any less morally just than my neighbor who inflates the price of pure water just because he maintains monopoly in the market!
Like it or not, OBJ is the best man for the job given his experience in resolving crises in the past.  The UN knew of his indictments in various financial fraud cases in Nigeria and yet appoints him as a special envoy to the war torn democratic Republic of Congo.  

I am not holding briefs for him and I sincerely believe he ought to be punished if found guilty of  such indictments, but saying he isn't the man for the Job is not a reasonable conclusion.

Everyone knows Obj is a paid agent of the CIA.If Gbagbo is smart, he would reject negotiations with Obj or else he'll do to him what he did to Charles Taylor.

First, Nigeria is NOT  planning to send troops to Ivory Coast, rather,  ECOWAS is considering doing so!  Nigeria is not Ecowas!

Second, what exactly do you mean that Ivory Coast is in a better shape economically? you should start by comparing Lagos and NOT Nigeria!

So which country is 'ECOWAS' that is sending troops to Cote d'Ivoire?  Hmm should in case ECOWAS send troops like ECOMOG to Cote d'Ivoire, from which country would majority of the troops come from?

when was the last time nigerians acknowledge one of them as a hero if not to rubbish him/her because they are not from their region or tribe ?
the fact is obj has faults but he has contributed to Africa unity than any other nigerian personality.
