Obasanjo As Babangida’s Best Issue By Okey Ndibe

thanks mr anonymous,remember that failure will always reach out to failure,friends of fool shall become fools. Any one that identify with an enigma like IBB can never see anything good in OBJ.Despite the fact that they are blindfolded by their folly,yet they clap for OBJ in their closet,but a day is coming when they will do the clapping in the open. Time will tell

OBJ and his brother IBB came to land light through the rear door. They saw how juicy power was and decided to return to power. One succeeded to return through the evil manipulation of the Genius, and base on "agreement" the evil genius' is seek a return.
But the blood stain on him did not allow him to come the public to solicit for the peoples' mandate to rule them.
To get support from the people, the widower never allow his wife spirit to settle down before seek of the highest post in Nigeria. He sorts the assistant of a man who got his wealth from the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 election which the gap tooth general annulled. He is indirectly telling Nigerians that the 1993 election was well deserved to be annulled, because a man that was working with back before June 12, is presently working for ME(Minna Crook).
To be frank, IBB will be disappointed in himself, since he did believed in the law of Karma or retribution which has no remedy, history will only make rubbish of him in our current affairs curriculum. Thank Okey Ndibe

the problem with all this contributors is rasism. in fact the problem of nigerians is rasism. nothing that a fellow compatrot do or say amount to anything outside his etnicity. the fact remain that over 70% of ibos live abroad, oblivious of the fact that only money talks in thier homeland. kidnapping, armed robbery, forgery are common place in the ibo-land. understandingly, it was your founding fathers who sold you to the hausas, but the way of transgresors is hard. enough is enough of this biafrian bullshit, bloody rasist.

@Stanley igwe..
doing all sort of thing for sake of getting financial benfit does not make an igbo man to be more successful in life than the average ijaw man..let me say it clear to you morons..you shit headed igbos are the problem of nigeria..you have succeeded in destroying the image of nigeria.in every part of the world you go,you will hear that a crime is been commited by this igbos.what a stupid people..you have the guts to have insulted us, as been lazy..afer all you live daily on the oil money that comes from our land..GOD will destroy you and your generation..

some mad folks are just bent on puting their woes on others..as for those imbecile like the igbos in this forum, who are bent on attacking other tribes shame on you..you thieves and shameless idoits are the clog in the wheeel of progress for our country..you fought a stupid war and lost badly,,so stop this foolishness on your part by blaming others..if ever you want to blame anyone, blame your leaders,who are so short sighted.more so supporting the CROOK IBB.doesnt change anything,because deep down we all know that IBB.will never come back to power,and taste what it feels like..so go on and start fooling around as usual..bunch of morons..

I have always respected Okey Ndibe but this article looks lop sided and that is not a surprise to me , what do you expect from a renown writer who likes visiting his home regularly and does not want to be locked up if eventually IBB mistakenly becomes president,for me i believe your position would have been to use your status for the betterment of the society at large and not allow yourself into the sentimental political game and as for Emeka london let, it´s time to stop this hatred game and all those people preaching BIAFRA should go and realign themselves before such as today there is no such thing as BIAFRA, now with the level of education in our society no particular group or group of person´s can talk for others , let´s work together for a better Nigeria and who no like make him kukuma kpeme for where him go hide so that his grave will still remain a slave.

In this modern day and age, a good government is not only judged by the number of bridges or roads built (that's to be expected anyway, oh, to be carried out by local authorities)

A good government is judged by its economic prowess and ability to turn a very bad situation roud robustly. It can be said that babangida, destroyed Nigerian economy, looted our purse and killed his own friend.

While, Obasanjo came in cleaned up the debt and mess left by babangida, abacha, sonekan and abubakar. Not only that, he left $60 billion as reserves.
Yar'adua came in with his cronies and reduced this revenue to about $30 billion within 18 months of being in office.
I leave the rest to your imagination. The Owu warrior and his team had set a record for Nigeria whether the writer, Babangida or the Northern caliphate like or not. Let's see whether anyone of this generation can achieve or better his records. As for Mr Settlement (babangida & the AIT thief), they are time wasters.
LONG LIVE PRESIDENT JONATHAN, LONG LIVE NIGERIA.

@ Emeka (London)

Are you sane?

"For even as conservative as the Germans and the Japanese whom Osiris ignorantly anchored his argument are, the younger generation are taught from primary up to university level of the obnoxious roles the older generation played before, during and after the World wars."

Emeka, where did I make reference to the Germans and Japanese? Which argument? About what?

While your poor upbringing, low IQ and inferiority complex have been glaringly apparent, your sanity must be something to really worry about!

London, as an addendum to your name, does not change the sorry state of your mind. You deserve some sympathy. And remember, young man, a pig with lipstick
is still a pig! I hope your parents are proud of you! Insolence, incoherent rant, indiscriminate insults are no substitutes for intelligence and a sense of decorum!

Ordinarily, you would not dare address me in your primitive manner in a real life situation. But the anonymous cyberspace offers you this fool´s paradise. Keep at it. That´s an area, where you truly excel! Good luck!

The evil man in IBB must be resisted by all and sundry. The Igbos must not be used by IBB and Atiku as the fall guys for their evil machinations.
We need a concerted effort cutting across the country to resist these men who mean no good for our country.

Fellow forumites, can you agree with me that Igbos are snakes? Read all the comments coming from Igbos, you will see that the major impediments to Nigerian progress is this yimirins. The bastards are quick to point fingers and tribalise every issue while they are the biggest criminals Nigeria ever produced. I have always known Igbos are serpents because we are not too far from each other(geographically). The igbos claim they are superior to every Nigerian but their ways of life prove otherwise. You ask me why? If Igbos are in deed superior, why are they not developing their regions and making other Nigerians migrate to their land for economic advantage? But the reverse is the case. Go to the remotest part of northern, western, and southern parts of Nigeria, you see Igbos economic migrants there either doing crimes or swindling their locals. Even outside Nigeria, these barbarians are the greatest disgrace to our nation. For Nigeria to know peace, these animals must be released to go and establish their kingdom of crimes. Drug smuggling, 419, Internet frauds, kidnappings, robbery, prostitution,greed for money cannibalism, human rituals, tribalism and lousy mouths are what make igbos superior to other Nigerians!

Wow, Nigerians! I see people here keep talking about how good things were during OBJ's second coming and how bad things were during IBB's regime.
First, I must admit I wasn't around during IBB's regime but thank God, the world became a lil smaller during OBJ second coming.
It pains me to read the other day from a world bank jerkoff that world bank didnt support IBB's SAP. Thats total BS!
The SAP was part of the plan by the world powers to devalue naira so they can purchase oil cheaper. Shagari refused to devalue naira and was deposed, Buhari also refused and was deposed. IBB came, devalue naira and stayed for as long as he wanted.
We as Nigerians need to understand that the world powers does not give a damn about us. Granted we need to be active in the international community, but at whose expense, ordinary Nigerians?
I see people touting OBJ's accomplishements but how much of those accomplishemnets made life easier for and ordinary Akara seller in Nigeria?
OBJ was invited to G20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 100. However they forget to tell him that Nigerian businesses need electricity, that Nigeria economy need manufacturing. Maybe they did, I dont know.
Yes Nigeria launched a satellite ... that was in the works during Abacha's regime just as the mobile phone.
Yes OBJ set up EFCC, which to many nigerians, was a witch hunt machinery. Every sensible nigeria knows EFCC under Ribadu was selective in persecution, NOT prosecution.
Nigeria's gdp grew under OBJ, how did that helped ordinary Nigerians that have been out of work since they graduated from the universities .. some as long as 5+yrs or the ones that lost their jobs due to privatization as prescribed by IMF and World Bank?
OBJ, wiped out Odi, wiped out Zak Ibiam (in the north)You cant compare that to one unfortunate planed or otherwise death of Dele Giwa. Is one Dele Giwa more important that those killed in Odi, on OBJ's orders? Based on what I read here, it seems that Dele Giwa's life was more important than those of Odi citizens. Oh maybe he had a face, those at Odi, women and children didn't.
Yes Dele Giwa was assasinated. Anyone with proof of who did it should go to the police. Saying IBB did it doesn't hold water. There was a massacre at Odi and we know who gave the order. He also gave the order to UNKNOWN SOLDIERS to burn Fela's house. Why are we Nigerians are so forgetful?
Well, IBB has a mansion in Mina. However, we also know OBJ came out of jail in 1999 with less that $100 to his name. We also know that OBJ personal aid was convicted in the US for bringing money (CASH) illegally to the US. Ribadu never bothered to investigate where the money came from.
IBB took the capital of Nigeria from the slums for Lagos to a brand new city - Abuja, when oil was about $8 a barrel. Have we forgotten that? When OBJ arrieved, oil was $28+ then rise to $52 and upto $100+. OBJ was in charge of the pwer sector, we still dont have lite till today.
PDP, under OBJ institutionalise kidnapping just as it did militancy in Niger Delta. Kidnaping started with the kidnaping of Ngige, now its a business.
OBJ is an opportunist supported by foreign governments. As a military officer, OBJ was a joke, can't compare himself to the Black Scorpion ... Col. Bejamin Adekunle.
Too bad young Nigerians will never learn of the likes of Adekunle, Shuwa, Air Raid Achuzia, Effiong and others of the Nigerian uncivil war; neither will they learn of how it started and why it started.
What alot of people dont know is that theworld insitutions like the world bank and IMF set africans up by convincing thenm to take loans they can't repay only to sell the bad loans to entities that will want the country to privatise their industries so they can get it for kobos ... and we saw this in Nigeria. the privatisation excercise in Nigeria left alot of people out of jobs and the way pout was to either try and leave the country or go into crime for men and prostistution for women.
If I have to vote for a presidential candidate, I'll vote for IBB anyday for the simple reason that, he knows he was give some bad advice and he'll be ready to do the right thing.
Tes I cant stand OBJ and rightly so. Anyman who will stoop so low to sleep with his SON's wife, gets no respect from me. Plenty babes full naija , why must it be your son's wife? Stupid man! Fcuk OBJ.
Y'all need to read the book by John Perkins tiled "the confession of an economic hitman" Better yet, Mr. Perkins interview is on youtube ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTbdnNgqfs8

Every Nigerian both home and abroad should grab a copy of this intriguing book title: The African mafia- Global message on faud. It is your own interest. You could lose everything you have worked for within a short time. The guys involving are getting ahead by imitating the big guys. Out Rogue politicians. Check it out at www.african-mafia.com

@Emeka of "London." You still failed to admit or deny with justifiable reasons (provable facts) to the 11 corroborated points that I laid out for you earlier despite giving you a chance to reason as someone who is truly exposed to the research facilities available in "London." You are probably a dishwasher or Taxi driver if they allow someone like you to own a hacker's license over there in “London.”

Your inferiority complex is spread all over in the puke you regurgitated below. Please stop hiding behind and embarrassing the great Ndigbo people by admitting to who you truly are - a sniffling NGA-BIAFRAN, because that is the only language you speak since you can't engage in enlightened communication corroborated with justifiable fact.

Even Ojukwu has graduated from Biafran to an honorable Ndigbo leadership status but for Emeka of London who is still stuck as a bottom feeder. You are dismissed, riff-raff.

@KaparaK:
Thanks for making my weekend.
I had been having the laugh of my life as I read Obasanjo’s ‘achievements’. Boy, anyone that employed you as his image maker must have invested in the wrong person.
Since it will be a waste of space and time debating you on Obasanjo’s ‘achievements,’ which has only helped Nigeria earn the unenviable title of the most corrupt country in the world and one with the highest rate of mortality rate in the southern hemisphere, I would rather deconstruct the diatribe and belated divide-and-rule antics you deployed in your last try.

Quote
“Don’t flatter yourself – you are not Ndigbo,”

Please, please, stop making a fool of yourself. That you who claim to know everything about Nigeria do not know the difference between an Emeka THE IGBO from Ndigbo as A RACE tells me I have all along been wasting time on an ignoramus of the highest order. Any wonder idiots like you are quick to judge the entire Igbo race (Ndigbo) by the actions of a few bad Igbo.
FYI, ‘Ndigbo’ when translated into english simply means Igbo people or people of Igbo heritage, so how can Emeka as an individual claim to be Ndigbo, or be described as Ndigbo as you ignorantly did?
Olodo, yes, I can claim to speak the mind of majority of Ndigbo but that does NOT make me ‘Ndigbo’.

Equally, I can see how after failing to rubbish the entire Igbo race in your previous correspondences, you have now switched to divide-and-rule tactics.
The question I ask is this: will you vote for any of those Igbos (not Ndigbo) you mentioned in your last correspondence should any of them in the future decide to vie to become president of Nigeria? To expand the question further, will you at the given time adjudge the Soludos and Iwealas you mischievously mentioned as FULL Nigerians and vote for them based on the content of their character rather than based where they come from?
If I take Nigerian history as my guide, I won’t hesitate to conclude that the answer is a capital NO. Because, then, you will be the first to propagate that the Soludos and the Iwealas are LESS Nigerians because they come from the despised Igbo tribe who cannot be ‘trusted’ with power!
So don’t come here to pretend to be more catholic than the Pope.

Quote:
“…you are just a mere BIAFRA”

Thanks for the compliment!
After all, everything being equal, I wonder what people like me will be doing with brainless, jealous and hate-filled people like you had Ndigbo succeeded in shifting the chaff from the corn as it were in 1967.
Without being seen as an apologetic Igbo man; get it in your empty scull that if there’s anyone who makes an average Igbo wish to remain Biafran, it is fascist like you, who, by their utterances come across as a people who have ‘learnt nothing and forgot nothing’ (apologist Nnamdi Azikiwe). In same vain, if there’s any one former Nigerian leader who has made most Igbos hate being known as Nigerians, that person is none other than the CHIMPANZEE called Obasanjo, whose actions since 1970 suggests he is haunted by the blood of millions of Igbo people he and his gang murdered in cold blood in an attempt to keep a dislocated and disjointed Nigeria as ‘one’ cosmetic Halloween figure.

Last thing, if you think those who reason like Emeka are in the minority among Ndigbo, I challenge you or anyone to go hold a plebiscite in Igboland and among Ndigbo settled elsewhere in Nigeria and those in the Diaspora to see between remaining in Nigeria and opting out which majority of Igbos would prefer. I had assured you that more than 90% of Igbos would prefer eating from the dustbin of Biafra or any separate entity than live in the garbage heap which Nigeria of today has become, no thanks to Obasanjo and co.

Consider this as the last free lecture on Igbo/ Nigerian history you will read from me, because I suffer no fools.

Do have yourself a nice weekend!!

What is it that IBB forgot in the villa that he's wanting to go back and pick. You are suppose to be resting by now instead of hanging on to power. HABAAAAAAAAAAA

@Emeka, Don’t flatter yourself – you are not Ndigbo, you are just a mere BIAFRA just like Ndibe, Olumhense and their ilk. Ndigbos are good people like Soludo, Okonjo-Iweala, et al. It’s like saying that all Nigerians are NGAs but heck, NoNGAs are people like you who wants to show off he is in London – what an inferiority complex plus Ndibe and Olumhense who couldn’t distinguish between accomplished leader like OBJ and dregs of society like IBB, Atiku, Abacha, etc. Since NGAs like you can’t think beyond your noses, allow me to spell out the points that Anonymous, Ademola, Osiri, Pere, Deri were trying to “learn ya” to set the record straight with some of OBJ’s many accomplishments hoping you can counter with just one from any other Nigerian leader since 1960 to the present, combined:

1. As one of the founding fathers of Transparency International, OBJ created EFCC and lionized Ribadu to go after corrupt officials, which is unheard of in a deeply corrupt society – the reason y’all NGAs hate him.
2. He turned $38 Billion debt he inherited in 1999 into $55 Billion saving he handed over to Yar in 2007, now you are back in the red up to $6 debt AGAIN within 3 years.
3. GDP growth was hovering around 8% annually from 2003 thru 2007. What are the rates now – 2.1%, at best?
4. He encouraged Soludo to institute Bank Capitalization, which was hailed at home & abroad. It’s a mess now, thanks to Shanushi.
5. The Banana Peel was the fear of corrupt NASS members; Ministers were been fired left and right for ineptitude and corruption, even the Inspector Gen. of Police was paraded in handcuffs for crying out load.
6. The Khaki boys stayed put in their barracks – they nearly came back out in 2009.
7. Transcorp was one of OBJ’s idea of a national corporation (similar to what Korea & Taiwan did to jumpstart their nations' development in the 1970s) with the goal to attract Nigerian stolen loot stashed in foreign banks back into the country for domestic investment.
8. Nigeria earned respect when Obasanjo headed both ECOWAS and AU, two years in row and was invited to the G20 summit twice during which he led the African delegation.
9. Naija even lunched a satellite into space for Pete's sake.
10. Don’t forget Operation Green Revolution during OBJ’s first coming between 1976 thru 1979 when the economy was so dynamic a Naira exchanged for $1.49 during his tenure.
11. The first Army General to voluntarily relinquish power to civilians who promptly ruined the nation for the next 20 years until OBJ’s 2nd coming to rescue you prodigal sons once more.

In short, with Obasanjo in charge, nobody dared mess up - all hands were on deck to ensure national progress that drove the sticky-fingered-duo of Atiku & Babangida into envy thinking that if Obasanjo could bring back Happy Days, they too could do it. The NGAs jettisoned all these reforms in favor of the mediocrity you've now found yourselves today – back in the gutter again where you all belong, you bastards.

Emeka, if you are truly in London, I am sure you have lots of access to good libraries to research the facts listed above before your rebuttal, but if you come back with another doggerel you wrote below then you’ve proven yourself a true NGA like Ndibe, Olumnhense and other little pricks like them.

Quote:
"But you would rather have the likes of IBB to keep banging the upside of you thick skull to keep you in place like goats."

I take that as an admission that you have given up on your childish IBB-bashing. For the last time I read through the mails on this and other threads, it was the brainless KaparaKs who cannot defeat IBB on the field that chose the easy way by hiding behind anonymous handles to bark like mad dogs that have issues with IBB’s person and candidacy. I FOR ONE WON’T MIND IF IBB RULES NIGERIA A MILLION TIMES OVER

So cry as much as you cowards wish or say whatever TRASH you want of your tormentor IBB, I for one will when paired against the imbecile called Obasanjo or his grandson Jonathan vote for IBB, knowing in my heart that the latter will give you brainless Nigerians the Abiola treated should any of you move from writing behind handles to daring him in his territory in Nigeria.
COWARDS LIKE YOU HAVE NEVER MADE ANY POSSITIVE CHANGE POSSIBLE, SO STOP BLOWING HOT AIR ON SR.

Anuohia!

The best comments so far; and I admire the quality of the comments (well-written comments) on this article.

....and the list goes on. Ever since, y'all have been plotting for the downfall of Nigeria even if you have to sacrifice the unparallel contribution of Obasanjo to rescue these prodigal sons we forgave so we could all just get along and be one. But you would rather have the likes of IBB to keep banging the upside of you thick skull to keep you in place like goats. Perhaps you could read the comments of Annon and Osiri below to learn a thing or two.

@Jude Morah, okonkwo kenneddy:

Ekene kwamu unu!
Those who think they can panel-beat Ndigbo into submission by blackmailing the greatest Igbo alive, our dearest Ikemba, are bunch of jokers.
Honestly, I don’t blame some Nigerians for exposing such deep-seated hatred of Ndigbo, which in reality stems from complete ignorance of Nigerian history as it relates to the Nigerian civil war. Instead of blaming these set of Nigerians, I would rather blame the Obasanjos, who, for reasons we can decipher made sure that the root causes and effects of the uncivil civil war are never mentioned in Nigerian history text books or taught in Nigerian schools. Nigeria is the only country in the world where its past, no matter how ugly, is never taught in a conventional school so that the younger generation won’t make the mistakes generations before them made.

For even as conservative as the Germans and the Japanese whom Osiris ignorantly anchored his argument are, the younger generation are taught from primary up to university level of the obnoxious roles the older generation played before, during and after the World wars. But in Nigeria and amongst Nigerians, it is a crime to talk of the causes or effect of a war that consumed millions of live! Hence, that’s why you see a supposedly educated Nigeria openly proclaiming in 2010 that ‘Ojukwu and the Igbos started the Nigerian civil war,’ even though in reality the contrary is the case.
So with such a polluted mind and brainwashed brain, it becomes normal and acceptable for a non Igbo to hate the Igbo and despise everything Igbo even before he or she comes into contact with an Igbo.

It is therefore both the moral and legal duty of every Igbo to make sure that a) our Igbo children are told the truth about how Ndigbo refused to be cowed between 1967 to 1970, and b) to make sure he or she never let any Nigerian, no matter how powerful, brainwash him/her with the orchestrated lie that Ndigbo and Igboland is the way it is today because the Igbo is less or more corrupt than his counterpart from other part of Nigeria.

THAT IS WHAT I DO WHENEVER AND WHEREEVER NECESSARY AND I URGE EVERY IGBO TO TIRELESSLY DO THE SAME; SINCE THOSE WHO WANTED US ALL DEAD (OBASANJO AND CO) HAVE CRIMINALLY REFUSED TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN THE PAST SO TO PREPARE THEM FOR THE FUTURE.

@.. emeka london.....dalu nwanne mmadu. the task of educating some of these non ibos can be daunting and cumbersome.there are times one is compelled to trace their level of understanding to deficient DNA...but i must salute your unflinching resolve and determination in doling out the lessons. i have given up since. thank you my brother.

Did you heard me say be careful? Hell no! I say be strong bro. Luv ya…always have.

Guys, never push a pusher please.

people have always called obj the worst president in Nigeria history and i have always asked by what parameters are you judging.

In terms of real GDP growth, for the first time since 70s, nigeria GDP began to grow above 5%. by the time obj was leaving in 2007, we were doing 7%, one of the best in the world. compare this to paltry less than 3% in IBB era.

Obj met a debt burden of over 30 billion $ and left none. in contrast to IBB that external debt actually risen under him.

OBJ met a country reserve of 3 billion $ and left it at over 50 billion $ yet what we hear is that he has stolen all nigeria money. IBB should tell us how much he left in office

Obj met only less than 250 thousand functional phone lines and he left at over 60 millions lines. under IBB it actually got worse.

In 2006 , nigerian banks were regarded all over the world as world class as reflected by giving soludo the best central bank governor in world for that year.
in 2007, nigeria stock exhange was regarded as one of best performing in the world.

In 2006, time magazine, listed nigeria as one 10 leading countries in space research for that year.

Ibb should tell us in real times how is time was better not by deliberate misleading figures. 1 billion naira in 1985 was stronger than 100 billion naira in 2007 when adjusted for inflation and devaluation

i even want in real terms, show me any head of state since independence that did better than obj

@Emeka: It´s always the same: people with the lowest IQ and the highest moral bankruptcy like to wrestle in a cesspool. I´m impressed, Mr. Genius! lol.

"that 40+ years later, this hateful little runt still cannot get over the fact that Colonel Obasanjo defeated and accepted the surrender of Biafra."

@KaparaK:
Yea, yea, yea, let’s throw our hands up for the great man (Obasanjo) who liberated the world!

Looking at the madhouse that post-war Nigeria has become today, would any reasonable person sincerely say that it was worth the trouble Nigeria stopping the Igbos from leaving Nigeria? And were the Biafrans really defeat?
I had said the opposite is the case because all the ills affecting the Nigerian state today could have been avoided had Nigerians listened to Ojukwu four decades ago. Unfortunately, as a short-sighted bunch, you Nigerians foolishly threw the baby with the bath basin. That is why Nigeria grapple with the likes of IBB and that monster called Obasanjo when other countries are moving to space. And to even hear you describe him as a 'leader' means you don’t know the true meaning of that word.

It is such empty chest-beating which explains why most Igbos, my humble self included, hardly get moved when you Nigerians cry blue murder against the likes of IBB and co who helped you 'defeat' the foresighted Igbos who dared stand up against them when other Nigerians were in a deep slumber.

Quote:
"Even Ojukwu has moved on but not this green monster."

So you think? FYI, unlike what most Nigerians are made to believe, the planning and execution of the war on the part of Ndigbo was NOT a one man (Ojukwu's) show. It was, and remains, a collective decision. That explains why no Igbo has ever or will ever blame Ojukwu for guiding us during that trying period.; for as Ojukwu never singularly decide on his own to send Ndigbo to war, he alone as an individual cannot decided when Ndigbo stops moaning or forgive those that sent millions of Igbos to their untimely grave.

If the Yorubas cannot forgive IBB for the ‘sins’ of June 12, why then do you think Ojukwu or Ndigbo will ever forgive the Obasanjos for the injuries inflicted on us between 1967 to 1970, and which continues to date?

Dude, get this in your genocide-denying scull: NEITHER OJUKWU NOR NDIGBO HAS FORGIVEN OBASANJO AND CO FOR THE GENOCIDE COMMITTED AGAINST OUR PEOPLE.

.” He continued: “It may interest you to know: What my government got in eight years is what the democratic government of my elder brother Obasanjo got in one year as revenue.” What a dumb line of thinking!!!What was the real value of naira during the 2 periods? At the time IBB shot into power, the naira and the dollar were almost at par. The naira was seriously battered by the time he left. IBB destroyed the naira and started the destruction of the economy. Obasanjo's civilian regime met a battered naira and economy. A dollar was exchanging for more than one hundred naira.

I have just read through Mr. Ndibe's account and I had read the rejoinder of Kennedy Emetulu from where I posted my comment - yes, it is all about that mediocrity we find occupying the whole spectrum of our politics refusing to give and unfortunately the so-called elite do not understand how to go about the problems posed in the country! It is sad to contemplate it and whatever solution you render, they see it as a means to remove them (hinder their presence) from the scene therefore such are never accepted rather they are swept under the carpets. I can see the reasons; somebody once said it. That whatever you propose as long as it touches on that ‘hold or grip’ they have on the citizenry they will not take it. But I believe that the time is fast approaching when ‘Who no know will begin to know in Nigeria, folks!’ You can fool the people for a while but not for ever as the saying goes; although ours appears to be taking too long. But it will happen, folk! I said it already that the problem we have in the country now is that Council of State membership such that you find the two of the ‘gladiators’ squarely pitched in the Council like the ‘One-eyed Colossus’ - agada gbachili uzo, folks. That is in the sea of our political mediocrity! They will castigate each other all at our behest because the labour force and the students have not come to be properly motivated and or organized to now begin to enlighten their parents as it should be with Nigeria! I am thinking why not the SERAP group in Nigeria decides to now serialize that Okigbo Panel’s report for the public to read and see what it is all about than us relying on the Minister of Justice opinion. You can easily see the effect of the Council of State and behold Alhj. Atiku wants to join if he can manage it all because of that allegation about Hallibutton and other crimes yet to be uncovered also! I now read about Mrs. F. Waziri unhappy about the slow (stalled) pace of EFCC she is wondering what the delay to grant her that Special Court is about, folks! It is all happening in the country -Nigeria TAKU! Kenya just ratified and signed into law their own Constitution and we are still dragging feet yet our 2020 20 great expectations will derive from its proper sensitization so as to prod the citizenry and the Assembly members effectively towards the desired goal, folks! Thank you.

@Osiris:
You have exposed the foolishness in you by the way you shouted yourself hoarse in your infantile response. Do not expect me to honour your childish rant with a direct response, because I stopped long from honouring fools like you with the attention you desperately seek.

Now let me take you on the points you raised

Quote:
"So, a man points a gun at your head, abuses, humiliates, robs, injures you and your family for years, and you say the criminal is not accountable to you whatsoever!

Good you acknowledge the fact that IBB is an invader who invaded the Nigerian house uninvited. This in itself renders the silly comparison between him and Obasanjo the supposed ‘democrat’ invalid.

The question then arises: what did you and other Nigerians do when that invader invaded your home and raped the occupants? One, did you as is expected of a victim call for emergency help by way of protesting against IBB and his fellow coup plotters at the time they stroke in 1985? Or two, did you and other Nigerians as is expected of someone whose property has been violated fight back by way of boycotting everything having to do with IBB and what he and his gang represented? The answer is a capital NO.
Instead of doing any of the above, what most Nigerians did on the contrary was to go on the streets to celebrate and welcome the ‘messiahs’ as they did before IBB’s coming. Not only that, some (including Abiola himself before IBB turned against him) went about romancing with the ‘criminals’ at every opportunity. Now tell, is that how someone who cherishes his property (country) and family (people) reacts when his space has been invaded and occupied?

Take it or leave it, if truth be told, EVERY NIGERIAN, you included, is culpable of IBB’s crimes because you and I failed to ACT when we were supposed to. So don’t come here to shout anyone into submission.

Ndibe has just been ousted – from some of the postings below, we all now know why Okey hates President Obasanjo so passionately – that 40+ years later, this hateful little runt still cannot get over the fact that Colonel Obasanjo defeated and accepted the surrender of Biafra. Even Ojukwu has moved on but not this green monster. The Japanese, after Hiroshima & Nagasaki do not begrudge Americans but embraced them to become the 2nd largest economy less than 30 years later. Hell no! Ndibe shall hold on tight to the cancer that is killing him softly, now he wants to spread the hate around to the gullible NGAs gobbling his rambling diatribe. Unlike OBJ, everything Ndibe touches turns to failure. Shall we ask him whatever happens to his “Shadow Parliament” where grown men became toddlers in playpen eating mud-pies pretending to be doctors? If only Mr. Ndibe could be President just for a day perhaps he could realize the undisputed and unrivaled contribution of the greatest leader Nigeria ever had that rankles him so deeply. Get over it, pimp.
