Two Yoruba elders fighting naked in the village square. And they would now be talking about iwa and omoluabi as if those attributes can ever be mentioned in the same sentence as themselves.
Lest I forget, Obasanjo like Soyinka is a two-faced deceptive muppet, not worthy to be described as an elder, let alone a statesman.
You deserve whatever is thrown at you, shameless old man.


Are you referring to the same Soyinka that went to prison in 1967 because he was supporting biafra?

FACTS:
EFCC was used by OBJ as a tool to fight all his enemies
OBJ went after Adenuga simply because he was supporting Atiku to contest for the presidential spot
OBJ doesn't like Mike Adenuga simply because Mike shares the same characteristic (Stubborn) as himself (OBJ)
OBJ controlled Ribadu's activities from A to Z (as the chairman of the EFCC)
OBJ is known as a vindictive human being that vigorously goes out of his way to destroy others
OBJ gave the OK for Mike's passport to be released, in fact, Ribadu secretly met with Mike in London a couple of times during his exile period in London.
OBJ was desperate and was concerned that Atiku was going to replace him before he gave Ribadu the OK to go after Mike...
OBJ planted Yaradua and Goodluck only to continue to control the activities of the new administration and the EFCC.


Do not be a fool to believe anything that comes out of obasanjo's mouth under all circumstances....The man is known to be unstable and completely dishonest.
When I see the name, OBJ, I see the following:
a big thief that is indirectly responsible for what Nigerians are currently up against
a bl00dy fool that refuses to see the light
a greedy pig that has no limitation
a power hungry rat that doesn't know when to get lost
a liar that cannot help himself

But I think picking a fight with Awujale is a sign that OBJ has crossed the line....I see his true down fall from here. Mark it down.

OBJ never liked Mike Adenuga. It is natural sometimes that two people don't like themselves, nothing special.
It is like that with Amechi and Jonathan.
The most childish thing of all is to expect people to jell because they come from the same tribe. Only immature kids are surprised when it does not happen as expected
No human being or political or business interest can make two incompatible people jell. At least obj was not guided by his emotions and permitted the NCC to give the man his license.

And you are also guilty of that; because you have just delved into personalities!

Obasanjo could have been the messiah and the savior of all time, but he allowed his greedy and senseless vindictive characteristics to over shadow all the other things he did as the president of Nigeria.
Therefore, for anyone to label OBJ as the best democratically elected president is senseless and uncivilized...The man is still indirectly responsible for the the mess Nigerians are currently up against.

This is another hit single from Obasanjo ft Awujale. Tittle "Awujale you are a liar". Obasanjo who recently drop his colabo with Gowon, Diya, Osinbanjo and others has promise to flourish Nigeria entertainment industry with hit tracks this year.

Kabiyesi you are petty and a liar - Olusegun Obasanjo's open letter to The Awujale & Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland,

December 30, 2016

His Royal Highness,
Oba Alaiyeluwa S. K. Adetona,
The Awujale & Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland,
Oba Adetona Road,
P. O. Box 263, Ijebu Ode.

The extract from your Autobiography “Awujale: The Autobiography of Alaiyeluwa Oba S. K. Adetona, Ogbagba II”, published by Mosuro Publishers 2010, pp. 187-195, which I attach to this letter was presented to me for my attention.

Your assertion in the publication was a tissue of lies and untruths. Olopade is one of my best friends and yes, I would be at his birthday celebration but I would not have invited Mike, your cousin, to meet me anywhere other than my office or official residence as President of Nigeria. Kabiyesi, do you think I would set the press up to capture me and Mike in a photograph for the newspapers? That would be puerile of me as President. Of course, I could not say that Mike could not do that. That you think that I, as President of Nigeria, would descend to such depravity makes me think of you much less than I thought of you, until now.

The invitation to Mike to contribute to the building of the Library block of Bells University was issued to him by the then Vice-Chancellor, Professor Julius Okogie, who never told me about inviting Mike to so contribute until Mike pulled out. And that I have not and I will not talk to Mike about it should convince you that I know nothing about its genesis.

Under my watch, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, was free to do its job as it saw fit. Common sense would suggest that wild rumours should not be perpetrated by an Oba of your calibre. Kabiyesi, your cousin did not tell you that My Chief of Staff, Abdul Mohammed, put his reputation on line by assuring EFCC that Mike would go nowhere and they should trust him to give him his passport. I did not even know that Abdul had done that until the Chairman of EFCC, Nuhu Ribadu, reported the case of my Chief of Staff seemingly colluding with Mike to run out of the country. But I had implicit confidence in my Chief of Staff and I was to resolve the issue. Should your cousin not have mentioned to Abdul who guaranteed the release of his passport his fears and intention to go on exile?

On several occasions, Nuhu Ribadu has asserted that, under my watch, he was a free agent to do his work as he deemed fit. Where it was necessary, he reported the outcome of his work to me and the subsequent or follow-up actions he intended to take. On no occasion did I guide, lead or direct him on what to do.

Mike did not need to send anything to me to satisfy me, he needed to satisfy EFCC and so your sending any documents to me was insinuating that I am the one to be satisfied rather than the EFCC. So, such documents were not paid any attention by me. You, as the cousin and part beneficiary from Mike as you have told me in the past, would not be able to see the tree from the forest as far as the mode of operation of Nuhu Ribadu was concerned viz-a-viz Mike. If the EFCC was investigating anybody, I did not consider it right for me as the President of Nigeria to be undermining EFCC by hobnobbing with that person. EFCC must be given free hand to do its work. Even if such a person was my child, the best I could do would be to secure a good lawyer to handle the matter before the EFCC for that child.

It is not only in the case of Obajana Cement that you were rumour-mongering about me. You have done that repeatedly on many occasions. The latest one you did in 2016 was you telling me that you heard that I had gone to Rasak Okoya to seek to marry her daughter, Abiola, when it was the girl that came to appeal to me to intervene to placate and appeal to her father to forgive her for all her misbehaviour to her father. I did and the father and daughter were reconciled. I told you even then that it was unbecoming of an Oba. Of course, I am used to such rumours, slandering and insinuations since my days as a Unit Commander in the Army and I have developed thick skin. If ten per cent of the rumours ascribing businesses and properties I know nothing about were true, I would be the richest man on earth.

But recently, when Aliko, yourself and myself were together, Aliko assured you that I never ever had a single share in any of Aliko’s business interests but whenever he has called on me to help within and without to promote his business interest, I have always helped and I will always do because that is part of my job as a Nigerian leader – to help Nigerians grow their businesses or interests – and I have done that for other Nigerians and indeed for non-Nigerians, Africans and non-Africans who have requested me for help.

It was revealing to me on that occasion when Aliko made the point that one of his directors on his cement company is somebody very close to you.

I owed nobody any apologies in the course of doing my work as I believe I should do it or in the course of defending the interest of Nigeria and defending my integrity. As I could not open the treasury for S. O. Bakare for your so-called political support to me, I did not regard that as an offence. To the extent that I believed and regarded as proper, I instructed Tony Anenih as Minister of Works to patronize S. O. Bakare as a Peugeot car dealer. I will not comment on Atiku issue that you touched upon in your book because I have dealt with that elsewhere and you were only dabbling into an area where and thing you are absolutely ignorant about.

All that you wanted me to do in respect of Mike was improper whether when I was President or when I was out of office. I must not be seen to be in the way of allowing law to take its natural course. All I should do is to help the course of the law and help secure a good lawyer to help the process.

It is of interest to me that Mike did not tell you that when he wanted national honour, he came to me and I did not react until Babangida recommended him and said, “Of all those I have helped, Mike is one of the most appreciative.”

Kabiyesi, if I have squandered all the goodwill I had, you would not have contacted me on behalf of All Progressive Party, APC, to receive them in 2014 and you would not have been personally present when I received them as I demanded. I probably have greater goodwill today internally and externally than I had in office.

Kabiyesi, the total sum of what you have put down in those pages of your book is that I dislike Mike. Maybe I need to remind you that if there was any iota of truth in such a position or mindset, Mike would not have been granted the mobile telephone licence which made him a billionaire. It was my prerogative as the President so to do. You may also be reminded that in the first round of the auction which Mike did not make, the country earned US$285 million for each licence. The country earned only US$200 million from the licence transaction with Mike and in the subsequent transaction with Etisalat, the country earned US$400 million. It was a deliberate action on my part that a Nigerian should own one of the licences. Anybody else but Mike could have been that Nigerian.

Kabiyesi, the type of hate propaganda you have tried to project in that section of your book against my person is grossly unbecoming of an Oba let alone an Oba of your status and stature.

However, I still accord you the respect which I believe an Oba should be accorded and one for that matter who I presume to be a friend. In spite of your unfortunate projection, my position remains the same – respect for you as an Oba and a friend.

Kabiyesi, I believe that I should set the record straight for posterity and to caution you from engaging in unedifying rumour-mongering and untruth. Accept the assurances of my highest consideration.

Lying that he gave Ribadu free hand in EFCC?

This old man always wants to lay claim to a righteous past despite the existence of overwhelming contradictory evidence.

Here he is, bragging that his credibility has improved better than when he was in office. Why won't that be the case when Nigeria is filled with gullible masses (and leaders) with short memory?

Only Ribadu can approve or disprove that claim, until then you are nobody to call it a lie

That OBJ used EFCC against those he disliked is a common knowledge. When Ribadu came to OAU while he was still serving as EFCC chair, he was questioned about his selective fight, and he said,
"There is little you can do when you have a boss with interest in your affairs."
He answered then to show that, he didn't have final say over cases to prosecute.

Meanwhile, who can avail us of an online version of the Awujale's book - especially the part involving Mike? I'm very interested in that.

The most important take away here, for me, is the suggestion that IBB considers Mike to be the "most appreciative" of all the (VERY MANY) people he 'helped' while in government.

Yes, OBJ was directly in charge of the EFCC
Yes, OBJ was constantly on Mike's neck to ensure that the donation to build the Library block of Bells University was collected in full...In fact OBJ was the one that sent Vice-Chancellor, Professor Julius Okogie to Mike Adenuga.
Yes, OBJ was also the one that directed Ribadu to arrest Mike.

Please ask Obasanjo if he still remembers this statement "We are both yoruba and from Ogun state, you should be in my camp and not Atiku's camp"
