Be it night or day Obasanjo is the best president Nigeria has ever produced.

Reptyle:


In all honesty, when have we ever witnessed a reversal in the prices of goods and services in this country? Throughout my life here, I haven't seen such a phenomenon. At best, I've observed commodity prices remaining steady over several years, unlike the present situation where we see products changing prices almost on a daily basis.

The reality is that the global and local economic conditions of that time were vastly different from the current scenario. Things were far more stable back then. This is not to excuse the present government, of course, because in my opinion, if you seek a job, you should perform it diligently. However, it makes little sense to compare Nigeria in 1999 with Nigeria in 2023, unless we're being completely irrational.

the present govt caused this same problem you're yapping about!!! Were you not here when he floated the naira and removed subsidy at the same time? Were prices changing on a daily basis even during bubu time? Something this recent and you're still attempting to twist it!! Ha

Do u think Tinubu cares about their rants, the man is as focus as anything.
God will spare our lives, the shameful ones among them will later apologize for their ignorance.

In recent times Rufai Oseni have been reckless, partisan, unprofessional and brazenly confrontational both to his guest on Arise TV whenever he perceives a supporter of the Tinubu administration and to Tinubu administration
Recent cases abound, all you have to do is to see him on Arise TV. He even concluded the administration is a failure less than 1 year of which it still has remaining 3years!
He propagate his personal narratives , enforce his partisan opinion and ever ready to amplify what divides us as a nation to the detriment of the Nigerian nationhood.
His utterances and post, I beg to submit are against the basic tenants of journalism.
Could it be because of his love for Obi or dislike for Tinubu? Only him could answer!

Bro it a failure. Stop to dey cap nonsense. We no one talk no means say we don't know what's up. Tell me which of his policies will take you out of the mess we found ourselves. Just give me one and we will all agree he isn't a failure.

What most of you don't know supporting such a leaders who ought to make things better but making excuses for them, make them more horrible than they are. You ask for the job, fix the God dam problem and stop making excuses.

If you are an employer if one of your employees keep making excuses or performs badly, will you keep making excuses for him?. Most of you won't take what is happening to Nigeria, if it were your personal business.

Others are making giant strides in their country not because they have two heads but because they understood the problem and have them fix. If he continues like this Nigeria a docile country might end up being a country where me and you won't be able to live in.

latonione:
So, in all, what do we have after eight years in office of Obasanjo, Eldorado plus dubia!!!

How do we get to where we are?
Who cannot repair refineries after eight years in office?
Who took the easy root solve our fuel dependent economy with importation and subsidy?
Why can't he improve our electricity generation and distributions after eight years and billions of dollars investment?
Who took the easy root to sell off refineries because he cannot tackle the corruption in that sector?
So, who laid the foundations for what we are experiencing today?

Maybe you can now rate OBJ.

I think he already saw the future that Nigerians are so corrupt that he has to create EFCC and ICPC. He take a genious to think on doing these.
he also so that in NEPA, no matter the billions of dollars u throw inside, it will be siphon.
I remember my late friend. his dad was an incorruptable man that all his sub ordinate in lower rant built house and mansion as junior staff in Nepa then. well i am not glorifying corruption then on why my friend dad choose not to deep his hand into NEPA money then. He retired in building a small house that everyone keep saying this man built small incomplete house in ikorodu while his junior colleage have many mansions and cars and all.
botton line is that NEPA was irredemable unless the national assemble signed a death sentence on corruption. Most state runs companies like in china and arabs countirs have serious death sentences on corruption.

First i support all his policies there are necessary step to build the future. It is biting hard but they are necessary. He never made excuses. If it were my personal business I will take such measures

Now if I may engage your critical thinking tell me one policy that is not good put in context long term and sustainable growth of Nigeria. Let's discuss economics

RenaissanceGuy:
Meaning it was only during Obasanjo's tenure we experienced negative inflation (deflation)—you buy a measure of rice for ₦400 last year, but you're buying it for ₦300 this year.

has that ever happened in Nigeria

blacknp:
And the irony is that the Shameless lazy people go dey wait for President for Abuja to make their lives pleasant for them?

Oblivious Jokers.

Just crawl back into the hole you crawled out from

maupe:

Rufai is a Dundee! Obj came to power and all sanctions were lifted thus there was inflow of money and foreign investments, all these trying to compare different scenarios and make one person look better than the other is nonsense , the same people that were telling us Abacha was a good leader and handled the economy well are not trying to tell us obj was the best , while I agree obj was a decent leader ,the honest truth is anyone who took over from buhari will struggle to get the economy on track, 1 year is not enough.

Lanretoye:
How old was this one in year 2000
Had obasanjo inherited the global economic crises,food shortages,insecurity and the rest.even European economies are facing several challenges.who takes rufai serious is not up to 30 years,very myopic in all forms.

You don't need to be 30yrs to vote
Rufai knows this
He is appealing to the gullible
Arise is pdp loudspeaker
Shebi 3yrs remain
This is how GSM started expensive in Nigeria
Today it s cheaper
Lets hope he doesn't disappoint although I think he has decentralized nepa license in his first 2 weeks, only state/local govt lọ police remains

States refused to localize the law except abia

Nobody had gone to get license
Nigerians not interested in production only consumption

It's sad anyone who speaks the Truth is anti Tinubu or against the state.

Oseni is a firebrand journalist who says the Truth no matter whose ox is gored. Administration of Tinubu is not getting it right and the country is in serious economic mess. It takes the brave and non partisan to say it. And that what Rufai Oseni of Arise TV is doing.

My salutations to him for his exceptional bravery and professional ism.

A man without any tangible school certificate, forgery and thugry are areas of his specialisation . Mumu president I hail thee, master strategist in election rigging.

It's to pinpoint the strenght of the 2. Obasanjo understands economics fairly. Tinu u is all about aggressive taxation

blacknp:
They wait for Tinubu to come & change your life for you, please what is the difference between yourself, & those ganduje’s Almijiris sniffing glue under bridge for Kano metropolis waiting for The President to save them?

Na the things like yourself, way no fit help themselves prosper, they pretend to wait for President for Abuja, you go wait, you go suffer tire.

And deep down in your mind you find it difficult to obtain three square meals in a day. You are suffering and smiling.. you are in a cage and acting as if you were a king . Dude I hail thee. Tinubu is a colossal failure but alas! Only a sane Nigerians know this.

Stop comparing death with life

blacknp:
How does one compare a person that spent 8 years in office, with a person that has only spent 1 year?

Pity you if you are waiting for the president to make your life any better, you to The President in Abuja, is no different to him, from an Almijiri under bridge in Kano City to the President.

Nobody is coming to help you in the open zoo of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, if you like, don’t go and better your life for yourself.

Check the dates. Those figures are for first year in office .

Chinkoalhaji34:

Other presidents find mess in their first year and in fixing it they it did not get worse. Tinubu should do the same.

The comparison in office is on 1 year and not 8 years. Read the thread carefully and comment reasonably

He will need the POWER, MIGHT, EDUCATION AND SKILLS OF OBASANJO TO CONTINUE ON THIS JOURNEY.


Orisa37

Obansanjo is more passionate about the success and unity of the country than Tinubu would ever be. Although Obasanjo later lost some focus in between his second tenure.

Another reason why it was easier for Obasanjo to uphold his will, was because back then majority of the members of the assembly, both upper&lower were submissive to him&pdp(which he was a leader of).

The legislative and executives were more deceplined then than they currently are.

Why waste ur beautiful English on idiots who still live in their granny's house who are fetching fire wood from the bushes so their granny can feed em if other countries kept making excuses for a clueless leadership,I'm sure nobody will be fasting and praying for US or UK visas .

On point

happney65:
For those who don't know let me take them down memory lane a little.

Obasanjo meet a worst country. Poverty was rife. Civil servants were left unpaid. People were so fvcking poor we were cooking with sawdust.

Obasanjo didn't blame the Military. He went to work. Together with Okonjo Iweala,they went begging for Debt relief as we were hooked by the debts the military took and begged the commity of Nations to forgive our debts.

P.S . It was even a period of low oil prices.

He increased the minimum wage to 3500. It was a shocker. Civil servants wondered if it was true or lies until they stared getting it. And immediately the economy flew. The Moment you take care of your work force, it will affect the economy has they will spend it back into the economy.

Civil servants started building houses and buying cars. The Nigerian middle class started to grow.

Then came Telecommunications. That was another super stroke. Provided direct and indirect jobs

Then the Banking sector Capitalisation. Did the same too. It was Obasanjo.

Telecommunications was in his first term,while the banking was in his second.

His first year alone was a huge relief.

By the time he left,A bag of rice was 3500 and minimum wage was 7500. Meaning you could buy two bags of rice with your minimum wage.

Tell me what these oloribuku's have done to relieve people. Nothing, absolutely nothing except running down the Economy

Awon oloshi

It's easier to make more mess, right?

OBASANJO KNEW HE WAS PRESIDENTING THE ENTIRE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA.
TINUBU SHOULD PLEASE KNOW THAT TOO.

TINUBU IS PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA NOT OF APC NOR OF BUHARI CONTINUA.
TODAY IS JUNE 1st 2024, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY APRIL AND MAY MEAGRE PENSION.

huptin:


Oga if your life is half as better as mine...you won't be on Nairaland typing rubbish in bad English just to justify total incompetence.

How convenient, spewing nonsense to justify a performance so bad it has no parallel...just one year and all good metrics have pointed south and all bad metrics are pointing north. You must think everyone is a political thug like you waiting forever for crumbs to fall from lazy politician's table just to survive. Absolute rubbish.

Is ‘half as better as mine’ good English?
