For me, the best Nigerian president remains Olusegun Obasanjo.

Though I may not have been born in the 60s when Nigeria gained her independence, but i have been around for a while to witness different administrations.

OBJ was intelligent and brutal especially when faced with opposing views. And had an enviable sense of humor sauced with savagery

Recall when Eedris sang " Nigeria Jagajaga", Obj put it to him ASAP that; "Na your mama and papa jagajaga"

Anyways I also think he was in the best position -no Nigerian President may ever have- to salvage this country from the bricks.

Reasons:

The long nights of Military juntas had just ended. And a joyous daybreak of Democratic values had begun in 1999.

Going by OBJ's military background, Nigerians werent so sure - the nascent- Democracy had fully come to stay. Thus were still scared, naive and skeptical about the ex-military man. And not many wanted to oppose his views on issues - dissenting voices weren't so vocal like they are today.

If Obasanjo had gotten it right, no doubt Nigeria would have been on the highway to prosperity and developments.

As much as I still prefer his administration to any other one, I also think he shares a huge blame-chunk of where we are as a country today.

We've not had any good president in Nigeria since independence

Best = Yar'adua , Goodluck, Obasanjo.


Worst= Buhari both his military rule and civilian rule is the worst in history of the world. What a failure.

Umaru Musa Yar'Adu.

Buhari





We all need sense in this country and the necessary ingredient for that is suffering and more hardship. We are getting there but still far away

May more old senile presidents fall on us all.

Yar'adua..... RIP man

All these Yar'Adua people sef.

He was a unifier.
If Buhari tried uniting us, leave about the economy, Nigeria would have coped.
But he was all round bad.
At this time, what the country need is a unifier 1st and then an economist(or someone who would make the economy a bit better)

List Yar'Adua's achievements.

Abacha and Obassanjo are my best.
Worst is Jonathan and Buhari.

Abacha was fully incharge just like Obassanjo.
No room for cabal. And they dealt with the elites.

Jonathan is only better than Buhari. While no president, whether past or present will ever be worse than Buhari.
Buhari is the worse then that happened to Nigeria, after amalgamation by Lord Lugard

Don't mind them, just coz he was no more.
Yar'Adua that revised almost everything Obassanjo did. Appointed all the former governors as ministers.
He came up the 7points agenda, without any clue on how to actualise them.
The only thing he did, was the Niger Delta aminesty

Peter Obi in the nearest future. Amen!!!
