You knows nothing bro.. quote author=EponObi post=128633071]This is my problem with people like this. Always smart and knows what's right and good outside power. But when they are in, they do the opposite. It's easy to drive a car with mouth. If na plan, even the Agulu fraud get am plenty - that one can literally write a complete, nonsense consumption to production storybook while sucking Aisha's sagged breasts . But check what he did in Anambra for 8 years - zero doings; just talks. Same with Baba Iyabo - why you no execute devolution of power while in power? Same with our Information minister - Bosun. That one was one of the biggest critics of APC/Buhari/Tinubu over the years. Dem don give am portfolio now, the dude dey do nonsense paparazzi up and down - since becoming minister, Bosun hasn't done any tangible execution of any of plans. I call him the baddie minister. Enu dun ro efo. Anyways, I think this is a chess game between the North and South. Since the north has been moving mad since Tinubu came to power, Obasanjo might be coming out to fire the warning shot - the North are scared of true Federalism. This is OBJ having Tinubu's back - even though they are sworn political enemies, the region's interest comes first. When I tell people that the SW plays the most sophisticated politics in Nigeria, they argue. The thing is in the SW, politics isn't by cussing, chest beating, and being loud. Silent chess moves without confrontation - something the SE should learn about - but they won't and will never attain such level of sophistication - at least not this generation, and that's if they don't program their children with the same politics of hate and victimization that has relegated them to the back seat of national influence and power. The typical Igbo is programmed to suck at National politics right from birth. Abuse me all you want; that's the truth. To confirm their hypocrisy: They will come on this thread (even quote me) that they don't need the power seat of Nigeria; act like they care less. But na them carry ObiFraud for head pre and post election. Even those who abused Obi and called him a failure pre 2015 turned around to repackage him. Na them spend #800m on post election legal tussles for Obi. Na them dey always argue say their 3rd class failure was a First Class Omo Olodo'de at the election. [/quote] 1 Like |

Arobaga: 0koro stop claiming SS. FYI, SE has always alligned with the core north to kick against state resource control. Go and revise what Wabbara said in the Senate concerning 25% oil derrivative to oil producing states. SE legislators sided with the north to make rubbish of the PIB. Not so long ago , Orji Uzor Kalu was calling for the scrapping of the NDDC and Ministry of Niger Delta affairs but today they are pushing for SE Development Commission bill. The last people that will ever agree to greater autonomy for states are the SE. 4 Likes |

ogododo: For the entire eight years that he was president, why did he fail to do what he is recommending now Did he not cause this economic crisis by endorsing an economically clueless Buhari to replace Jonathan in 2015, maybe because he realised that Jonathan was much better than himself on economic issues? “I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.” 1 Like 2 Shares |

routed: Worse than pathetic. Iyabo was right about her father clearly. In what is turning out to be a season of open letters, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Iyabo, has ruled out further communication with her father till death, describing him as a liar, manipulator, two-faced hypocrite determined to foist on President Goodluck Jonathan what no one would contemplate with him as president. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Kukutenla: And he succeeded by and large in making Lagos the only state in the federation that can easily run its affairs without federal handouts. Lagos currently generated revenue internally ten folds what it gets as federal handouts and once the VAT ruling is implimented, federal allocations to Lagos will diminish further to less than 5% of Lagos revenue. Ogun, Delta, Akwa Ibom and Rivers are also states that can comfortably run their affairs without federal handouts. |

Arobaga:Changes can not be productively effective with bitterness and resentment. Being an oil producing state doesn't assure the management headquarters to be there. Remember that all these SS, SE areas are security porous. In addition, what have the state governors of 1999 till date done in these areas to alleviate poverty among there people? Let us think and speak liberally on this country's issue. Though, I support the decentralization of power to the grassroots, however, these state governors are wolves in sheep clothing. |

If Obasanjo knows that this will help Nigeria Economy, and he did not do it when he was in power, then he should keep his mouth shut. What is good for the goose, is also good for the gander! He didn't do it during his time, because of his own interest, why then did he want another person to do it. He should keep shut, I hate hypocrite.
