The military armed robbers.

Nigerian generals --- Oleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

kingawothefirst:
Nigeria knows that when someone from the SW steps into office the nation improves, we are also not tribal bigots so everybody gets their fair share under our rule. Obasanjo wasn’t even the best we’ve produced, The Great Awo was our best followed by MKO, but thanks to enemies of progress and the powers that be, entities that would’ve transformed this country didn’t get a chance. Let’s not make the same mistake again with Osinbajo, let’s give our honourable VP a chance.

We're all NOBODY. The God Almighty is the Great and Greatest.
Kudos to Obj for all his efforts, he isn't perfect. We all have our flaws

sageb:
He worked during his time, but his lust for power made him to want a 3rd term.

JAMO84:
Nothing concern me with his military rule, I wasn't in this world. Base on his civilian rule which I witnessed, Obasanjo should be serving life sentence without the possibility of parole!!!

aremuforlife:
Baba has the opportunity to set a solid foundation for the new Nigeria, but because of his third term agenda, baba destroy the foundation. Baba is a kind of person that don't like others to supersede his records or achievements.

LordKO:
[s]OBJ is a quasi-sole and quasi-soul of modern Nigeria[/s].

Plead:

LordKO:


Your lack of electoral value is actually the barrier between you and your state government house as a governor, because I won't mind being part of the forces to help see you through to it out of my magnanimity.

sageb:
yes, but this cases you mentioned is an exception. How about paul biya of cameroon, mugabe of zimbakwe,etc. Who knows what OBJ might have turn to if he got the third term, remember "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely".

Gazzy88:
OBJ had his flaws, no doubt but no president has matched his records till date. He's the only president in Nigeria respected globally both past and present. He's the only president till date to had received a sitting American president from Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton to George Bush. Obama came to Ghana but couldn't reach Nigeria during Jonathan era.

OBJ is the only detribalized president till date. All programs and policies of govt till date could be traced to his brilliant ideas. He worked with smarter ministers unlike those ones we have now. He's also the most respected and fearless president within Nigeria which no senate, reps or any ministers could dare.

OBJ was corrupt same as our current crops of politicians but no president has matched his feats till date. He cleared our foreign debts with his influence which buhari has piled up again.

What Buhari has done in term of Infrastructures is 10 times Obj
