Ok... So if i get your logic, even as OBJ has denied sending money and the man reputed to have shared the cash never mentioned his name, we must still hang the corruption on his neck cause we want him to fit into the box of the pioneer of corruption in Nigeria. Sound logic.
Ota farm already existed before OBJ became President in 1999 sir. There are those who alleged he got the farm through OFN of the 70s but I want to believe you will not say that is your evidence of him being pioneer of corruption in 1999. I can name three other former HoS who have farms.
What is the business of OBJ with Halliburton scandal? I think you need to get yourself updated on what it was about
That's been proven to be a lie over and over again. OBJ never spent any $16bn on power. But besides that, are you aware that over 90% of the gas fired plants we have in Nigeria today were built during OBJ's time in office? He still left over 800 turbines at Apapa that needed clearing by successive govts
Ok. The systems he created, how far with them today? Has EFCC being strenghtened? ICPC nko? What about BPP and DMO? Are they all better than they were when he created them in his tenure?

I really don't have time to prove any point to you. If you belive that a bag of money turned up at the national assembly with no owner then fine. You are welcome to your sound logic.

Same for the rest of it.

Kukutente23:

He only mentioned two. The Presidential Library and bribing of lawmakers for second term. Can you explain how those two are the foundation for corruption in Nigeria. From what I know, OBJ has come out serially to deny sending cash to lawmakers for second term and no one has come out to say he sent them. DSP Mantu who is now late who was fingered as the man who brought the cash to NASS never sent OBJ sent him the job till he died.
As for the Presidential Library, I agree since two or three businessmen (not govs) have come out to say OBJ armtwisted them into donating for his Presidential Library. That is a corrupt thing to do. I totally accept. But explain to me how that is the foundation for corruption in Nigeria. Like Nigeria was a corruption free country before OBJ armtwisted the businessmen?

This is laughable. Where you expecting him to admit to his corruption?

Can you explain how Obasanjo went from a soldier of modest income, to prison, and then to his massive Ota farm?

Can you explain the Haliburton scandal?

Can you explain to us how 16billi9n usd disappeared in the name of power sector reforms?

You know all these, perhaps you want to just test and see if others are aware. Not so?

Having said that, it is pertinent to note that the issue is not about the scale of his corruption, rather is is about what he did or did not do as the pioneering president of the modern Nigeria.

He could have created systems that would have been perfected in his 8 years and these systems would have been hard to corrupt if properly established. Instead he enriched himself, sought a third term to show his disregard for democratic principles, and virtually wrote the handbook on how to rig elections in Nigeria.

Kukutente23:

Can you explain to me in cogent terms how Obasanjo that started EFCC and ICPC, got Senate President, Ministers, IGP, Governors sacked for corruption laid the foundation of corruption in Nigeria today

Akande has done that for you. Read the write up

olisaEze:


"part of the corrupt ones", lol, Mr Admirer who are the incorruptible ones to start with?? Mr Proclaimant, OBJ is ur best president but u were just happily supporting those who wud use him to deflect from their failures. Goan change that ur moniker, it’s impersonation if ure really that gullible.

So you are finally getting on the same page as Akande! Good to see that your brain may not not be totally dilapidated yet

olisaEze:


Child, in 1999 I voted Olu Falae of AD/AP because he was a major part of NADECO. 8 yrs later I was grateful to God that OBJ won because hindsight wisdom is always the best! Ur apparent frustration & lack of decorum is indicative of the fact that u think politics is like fanning a football club, so ure quick to abuse like it’s Chelsea vs Man U fans. The results of ur foolish decisions are never ur fault but always someone else’s so u don’t ever get to learn. If u like start blaming from the colonialists, the fact remains that Argentina & Nigeria swore in their presidents at the same timeframe. But their report cards are not the same, because people like u would rather blame God sef than admit the role their ignorance has played in the current destruction of their country’s economy.

Elder, but what is the meaning of all this now? You behave like someone that lacks comprehension that is why I asked - is that what is offending you? Grow up! Apparrently, if you were old enough to vote in the 90s, you must be old enough to call a spade a spade, making your displays here very confusing.

The question is, was Obasanjo part of the corrupt ones or not?? In your desperation to avoid being truthful, there is probably no bush on this planet you haven't beat about. Elder, why? Who are you fooling? Obviously not me... yourself then? Again...why??

I actually admire Obasanjo, and boldly procclaim him the best president Nigeria has ever had. So you see all that gibberish about football clubs is not something you got from anythign I wrote up there. You are only projecting your own infantile thoughts!

olisaEze:


Nigeria did not start in 1999 and corruption is the excuse every military coup plotter in dis country has used. So clearly, corruption has been in Nigeria since before u were born[b].Now even if OBJ was corrupt, does it mean the present and the previous also must follow suit 14 yrs later?[/b] With OBJ’s "corruption" companies were pouring in with better job offers for Nigerian youths and our GDP soared. But with those u want to absolve of guilt, even the old companies have all fled & the economy has tanked. Now who’s dodging the truth between the both of us??

And who said that?? Which of my statements points to absolving anyone of guilt? Which of my statements, or even those of Akande says Obasanjo was not arguably a good president?

Nigeria did not start in 1999 - nor did Obasanjo's presidential experience. He was there from the very beginning. A point Akande makes, that you're still falling over yourself trying not to see.

Do you lack comprehension or you are just doing this deliberately?

olisaEze:


Pls goan check up ur country’s corruption index before and after Obasanjo left office. Funny thing there is, it’s those that claim veterans & assume moral superiority over the rest that have been talking crap like this consistently for the past decade, in support of the few ruining every gain democracy has made since ‘99.

Sir, was he corrupt or not? Did he help lay the foundation for corruption or not? If yes, is Akande wrong?

You're just beating about the bush aimlessly when the truth is staring you in the face.

olisaEze:
Someone met humungous debts on assuming office. But he should accept that he’s part of the problem from the new loans spent on luxuries for the new monarchy, 14yrs after he left excess cash & no debts behind. It’s amazing how dumb some people are prepared to sound, not for a seat at the table but for droppings & leftovers.

Dont be silly. Akande never said Obasanjo didn't do any good or even that he was a bad president. He said, simply, and correctly, that Obasanjo helped to entrenched the culture of corruption that is so pervasive today.

Grow up!

This same Elon Musk fired the entire Twitter Africa team and refused to pay them their severance which cannot be up to 2mn usd.

Apcshyte:
Victor Boniface

Apart from trapping the ball there is literally nothing else this guy knows how to do

So sad to see the Super Eagles play like this. Some really unintelligent players out there. Boniface and Chukwueze are the biggest ones. Bad decision after bad decision. Can you imagine the nerve of people to compare Boniface with Osimhen??

Can anyone remember a time Chukwueze delivered a single accurate cross? Always shooting and rubbish shots even a toddler will catch. He scored a nice goal today but every other move he made was just an endeavor to give away possession.

Then the ones that are somewhat clever are just too poor on the ball. Onyeka messed up a basic through pass that a kid from La Masia will make with his eyes closed. He then had the ball in acres of space and ballooned it from the edge of the box.

I see a team of fast, strong men. These are barely footballers.

Troost
Osimhen
Bassey
Iwobi
Aina
Lookman
Simon
Nwabali

These are the only footballers we have.

To make matters worse the one they put there as coach has to be the most tactically inept individual I have ever seen in my life.

What this list proves is that Edo people have been carrying Nigerian football quietly! 5 out of 10 from small Edo?? And even Musa is half Edo so 5.5.

Wait... You mean it's Yoruba people doing conductor in your state? Don't be a mumu.

0f course the majority of conductors in any place will be people from there

Felabrity:
Lookman and Osimhen plus Boniface go score brace for their clubs finish come Nigeria dey play rubbish

How lookman no go see shot for 89 mins?

Boniface just useless

We need new faces

Invite Orban and co

And somehow you have convinced yourself that the new ones will come and do magic instead of sitting down and thinking and realizing that the national side is not the same as the club side? Do the Suoer eagles have creative skilful midfielders to create clear chances? Do we have a good coach on the level of European clubs?


Its Orban that is not doing well for his club that will come and do magic here.

Funny!

To the guy talking about trying it in the US, if you like tear your hard earned dollars in the states, they don't give a flying fùck. They don't have restrictive rights like naija.

People here where camo everyday.

It is also against US law to deface dollar bills. Why not research issues rather than spread ignorance??

VDM is responding with a strong conviction from a place of many evidences yet Falana claimed not to have met Bobrisky before

Useless fight, as the Bobrisky himself is off to a new coast

May the better team win

Adeyanyu/VDM vs Folarin and Femi

Many evidences you say... Well that's good. The right place for evidences is the courtroom so he should go ahead and tender them there.


And next time it's evidence not evidences.

I always say this, Nigerians are not ready for growth, let's continue playing.

Idiko1:
There is no single presence of Federal Government of Nigeria in Igboland. Nigerian government has used its economic policies as weapons of war against Ndigbo.

Ive always wondered what people mean when they say this... Are there not hospitals, police stations, army barracks, museums, and schools owned by the federal government in the East? Those are the elements of federal government presence owed to all States.

What is missing? I hope you won't say Ports?

The first time I realized that Nigeria can work was when a baby I know off, born abroad in a common area country, and needed a passport so he can cross back and get a resident permit in he country his parents resides, it was done together with a new NIN within one week. that was early this year!

I was like what? So its this easy, was it because of the payment was in USD?

Here now, is some fellow getting his within 26th hours!

A serious president will first of all sack the Police force, give the Army control over internal; policing for 6 months while a new band of patriotic police force is recruited and and trained among all cadre.

Sack all lower to middle cadre members of the civil service. hand it over to a new set of contractors for six months while a new set of civil service is recruited and trained. Every one who had earlier worked can not be reemploy. They should go start a farm! Or any side hustle or work as contractors etc.

Disband the entire judiciary and hand over all civil matters to a Military court, while a new set of NJC and its judges and members are recruited and trained. for six months. All former employees are not allowed to work. If caught forging credentials to get employed...life imprisonment.

Within 1 year, Nigeria will be the most corrupt free country on earth

The problem of Nigeria lies in these three set of people.....Both politicians and the ordinary corrupt Nigerian needs one or all of these three to do wrong and get away with it!

Imagine pretending the military has not been in charge of Nigeria before. Gen Z?

When Joe Biden won in 2020, no talks of Americans leaving the United States in droves. Now, Trump won in 2024 and japa syndrome has hit back at the Americans just like in 2016 DT won.

Shows there's something we're not seeing.

This article is being economical with the truth, which is that the majority of these searches are likely being driven by immigrants seeking to avoid Trump's harsh anti illegal immigration policies.

hope say this his cousin no be brother to the one we he sleep with..

To me I think the guy get target 🤔

Almost. The VP is the president's son and the lady is the president's sister or something like that.

kingsways:
They should leave the guy joo

They should go hold their wives!

Their wives opened their legs because they wanted to and enjoyed it, didn’t they?

Why hold the guy?, I no understand

He has a corruption case, nothing to do with the ladies. Secondly there is some deep politics at play here as this guy and his father are viewed as a potential rivals to the vice president, who is his cousin.
