We seems to have forgotten how not too long ago Gen. Obasanjo bullied all credible candidates in order to single handedly install his anointed 'child', whom he now tagged the 'rotten head' as the President of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria. Gen OBJ has been given the opportunity to fix my country more than 3 times (1979s, 1999, 2003, 2007) and in 2011 where he had the the ultimate power to choose the best for a nation he fought to keep as one and united entity. To me, Gen. OBJ has blown all his chances away and lacks the justification (be it moral or political) to challenge the outcome of a catastrophe he masterminded.
I am not equal to our Otta father in anyway, but it is high time we remind him of his handiwork that has resulted in the incessant disaster we are witnessing as a nation. Before you begin to celebrate me, it is important I inform you that I am not speaking from any political party's inclination. So do not drag me into the PDP vs APC fire exchange or tug of war. I am just trying to call a spade a spade.

Today, our father who art in Otta has been struggling to erase his name from the book of history by telling us what we already know and feel about the bad state of the nation. But our memories are still fresh on how he mocked us when a group of journalist asked him if he was backing President Goodluck Ebele Azikwe Jonothan in the 2011 elections. He (OBJ) turned his back at the cameras and asked if they (and we) saw him carrying the President on his back.
I told my friends back in 2011, that we will all live to be the judges between OBJ and his anointed child.
In another opinion, Gen. OBJ has the right to go 'maga' but not 'gaga' looking at the ways things are really falling apart and the country does not longer have any anthills in its Savannah and the citizens in the north east are not longer at ease. Sorry if I sound so poetic.

I will close the part one of my OPINION with lines that may look much more of a satire.
Our father who art in Otta, hail I thy name.
What gonna be, gonna be
what goes up must come down
What goes round comes around
