My Watch: 11 Shocking Things From Obj’s New Book by Nobody: 3:18am On Dec 08, 2014
London (NDR) - It is no
longer news that former
President Olusegun
Obasanjo is going to release
his autobiography titled "My
Watch", on the 12th of
December, 2014 - a book
published by Farafina.
What is news is the political
tsunami the content of this
book might cause in the
already charged political
atmosphere of Nigeria and
beyond.

Obasanjo and President
Goodluck Jonathan are not
having the best of time and
this book may deteriorate
the already frosty
relationship between the
two. Recall that Obasanjo
had late last year wrote a
letter to Jonathan in which
he responded with a reply.
In his new book, Obasanjo
took a swipe on Jonathan,
Patience Jonathan, Atiku
Abubakar, Umaru Musa
Yara Adua and Tony Anenih
amongst others.

In a rare privilege, NewsDay
Reporters was allowed to go
through this book before its
eventual release next week
and below are the Eleven
(11) shocking things from
the book:

1. Obasanjo called Jonathan
a failed leader, citing his
"failed" economic policies
and Boko Haram as
examples.

2. He accused Jonathan of
listening to few Ijaw people
as if he's the president of
Ijaw - thereby pursuing
sectional agenda that is
capable of destroying
Nigeria.

3. He says that Jonathan is
confused, paranoid to an
extent that the person ruling
Nigeria is his wife, Patience
Jonathan.

4. He said that Jonathan is
finished for depending on
Tony Anenih - a man he
(Obasanjo) knows too well.

5. He accused Jonathan of
being the one that recruited
his daughter, Senator Iyabo
Obasanjo to denigrate and
embarrass him in a public
letter where she described
him as “a liar, manipulator
and two-faced hypocrite.”

6. He mentioned how late
President Umaru Musa Yar
Adua and Goodluck
Jonathan allowed their close
associates to wreck havoc
on the Nigeria's economy by
looting the country's foreign
reserve.

7. He called Yar Adua and
Jonathan ingrates as they
refused to respect the fact
that he installed them in
power.

8. He feels betrayed that Yar
Adua colluded with former
Governor of Delta State,
James Ibori to implicate him
in serious crimes.

9. He accused Yar Adua of
abandoning his policies in
power sector, railway etc.,
instead he (Yar Adua) was
wasting time probing his
tenure.

10. On Atiku, he said he will
never support Alhaji Atiku
to rule this country because
of his widespread acts of
corruption which covered
various sectors of the
economy.

11. He concludes that even
if he reconciles with
Jonathan, that he will do
everything possible to make
sure that he (Jonathan)
does not return to power in
2015.

Baba Obasanjo seems to have made up his mind never to forgive Jonathan for whatever reasons.

Now I see why the court decided to ban the release of the book even without any legal representations from Obasanjos lawyers.

GEJ is not good. What OBJ is saying about him are undeniable. Let's keep sentiments aside. Even GEJ know that he has performed poorly. For those that understands economic our country is in disarray. If GEJ continue for another four years I fear what will become of this country. HAVE YOU ASKED WHY HE SENT GOVERNORS TO BEG OBJ?

Jonathan is a betrayal. He promised to stay in government for only one tenure. What do you expect. A man whose words holds no truth? That is why we do not have the public buses he promised us during the subsidy issue.

Orji Uzor Kalu told the whole world that Obasanjo worth 2k when he was released from jos prison. Today Obasanjo has a presidential library, Bell university, Otta farm, farm settlements and properties everywhere in Nigeria.
His book should explain his role in Harliburtons scandal, adultery with his son's wife. Odi and Zaki Biam massacre , political assassinations that took place during his tenure and should also include the worst election he conducted in 2007. He should not fail to tell us about aborted third term issue. Until that is done he remain an impostor

My brother, de thing tire me o. Instead of telling the world his achievements as president, he is busy quarrelling with everybody like a pregnant woman. How am I sure this Obj is not having a mental problem? A man who lured his sons wife into bed and kerewa-ed the poor woman. No wonder his family has disowned him.

OBJ should show us his achievements and stop disturbing already impoverished citizens with books!

Am sorry to say this, you must be below 17years if not you will not start asking of OBJ's achievements.
=> If you have a Civil Servent in you family go and ask them what OBJ did for them in his first tenure (I called That Gbemu Aremu). With Gbemu Aremu a Primary School Teacher in Public school could buy a car.
=> I will Not forget the One Year PAP even though am less that 13 years then i still remember
=> What of Dept Clearance, Foreign Reserve
=> The Power you all talks about OBJ left more that 4000MW, today Nigeria still struggle to Top that
=> The GEJ you all support, who knows him Nationally, if he has not achived anything at all bringing GEJ all the way from Bayelsa is not a day JOB

Not that i support Mediocracy of the Past Leaders but GEJ, UMY, GEJ (∑ = PDP)perform below Nigeria Expectation, That is why we have to Divorce PDP he she repents, we can forgive their sice
