Walahi people don't know. The kind damage tinubu Lagos to ibadan news has done to our mind enh, most people subconsciously or not will hate Obj though rightfully so, but what people fail to understand is Obj is the best Nigeria has ever seen economically.

a man like Obj at the helm of affairs for 30yrs will easily take Nigeria to a gdp of 2trn dollars. Sometime I just imagine how Nigeria would have been if Obj is still ruling.
Development is a long term project and Obj has a plan for it all, but being short slighted we play politics with everything.

You couldn't have said it better. Development is a long term project and one of the major problems with Nigeria is lack of continuity. You can only imagine how Nigeria would be today if the leaders that came after OBJ carried on with the projects that he started and saw them to completion.

I always take Prof Charles Soludo's postulations very serious. If he says something just know that he has done his calculation very well before saying it. Be rest assured there be no mistake because Prof doesn't do wuruwuru to the answer. cheesy

You're right, Prof Soludo is a genius, I doff my hat for him. Great guy!

I so much agree with El-Rufai on this! Obasanjo's second tenure was the most prosperous term. That was when our musical artists started making waves due to the policy which allows high percentage of Nigeria content to be played in radio stations across the country. The time also recorded made in Nigeria juice as the govt banned importations of fruits juice. Coca-Cola started producing 5 alive here in Nigeria and other companies follow suit. Nigeria entertainment industry especially standup comedy industry started booming. Infact, most of the standup comedian hit their fame during Obasanjo. Stand up comedy isn't longer what it was use to be nowadays. Nigeria air carrier too , Virgin Nigeria was well operated. Obasanjo's economics achievement begins to fall during Jonathan and scattered during Buhari

He helped solidify my believe on Obi. Soludo no dey lie. I gave up on Obi when soludo said Anambra suffered her worst backwardness under hOebi and the he's going nowhere in the race

Nigerians and sensationalism. He helped solidify your naivety. He couldn't provide evidence of misappropriation of funds or corruption. He only deceived you because he wanted to be politically correct. It's like saying Oshiomole hated Ize-Iyamu in 2016. How's Soludo fairing now as Governor? Tomorrow, it's folks like you that will vote a sentimental man like that as president. We're talking about Nigeria's most successful era here. Perhaps Obi, and even BAT would be given credit for contributing their quotas as Governors. Since then Nigeria has become a shithole because of tribalism and bigotry.

. The same windfall and excess crude account was frittered away under the same NOI. Soludo did very well. But we should not ignore the side of ElRufais statement…..we were very lucky. It was more luck than good management. What do we have to show for govt spending during the Obasanjo era….what did they spend the money on? Where are the roads, power, rail, airports etc? Hence the element of luck that oil prices were so high it hid the govt inefficiencies and wastefulness of the time because the private sector could continue to do business.l because the Naira was stable. The Naira was stable simply by good fortune of high oil prices.

What debt?
We are not a poor country We should not be afraid of debt. Our resources if well harnessed will consume any debt. How much is America owing or even our Dangote ? We have what can deal with any amount of money owed anywhere.
What obasanjo and iweala did on debt relief wasnt special or brainy but unnecessarily over dramatised.
Nigeria in brainy and good hands is a bride to the world.
So who are the brainy and good hands

Charles Soludo. The turnaround of the banking industry is solely at his feet

OBJ brought these names and many more never before heard in the political history of Nigeria in 1999.

When It took Buhari 6months to appoint ministers,one of my very good friends were supporting it. By the time the useless Man brought out his list,it was the same set of useless people we have always known so why the delay? Bulabalu even took it further by just giving food to his boys.

The Nigerian middle class grew under him
Civil servants were living well and large. Our debts were paid after he got a debt relief for us

Ask these wayres wetin them do,they will be blabbing and beating around the bush

Useless entities. undecided

When you criticise them, their online dogs will start backing and calling you unpatriotic. These are the same ignorant set of people that don't even know the meaning of PATRIOTISM.

Go and check the records. Only his 2nd term cabinet was good. El-Rufai even emphasised it too: "SECOND TERM CABINET."

Elrufai, Sanusi, Atiku and probably shetima (if he learns well) won't be a problem...
But the rest I no sure

All of them are problems. Atiku is a fulani، Buhari looked away from the atrocities of his kinsmen during his tenure. The are now monsters. Atiku will not be different.

El - rufai is a bigot. He would prefer a poor, Islamized Nigeria than a prosperous detribalized, Free society. Sanusi, the deposed emir, looks reasonable but I can trust him with power. What he did as CBN governor. He almost paralyzed christian owned banks. Shettima, the say, he has a soft spot for Boko Haram. Why not a middle - belter next time: Taraba, Benue, Plateau.....not Hausa or fulani.?

Clearing debt is not an achievement whilst you have an infrastructure deficit and not industrialised.

A homeless tramp on the street has no debt and Dangote has more debt than anybody in Africa, so rushing to clear debt without any plan or action on development is very daft and stupid.

In any case Obj never cleared our debt, he made a lot of money disappear though.

Me and someone discussed same thing yesterday. If we don't want to deceive ourselves, OBJ's regime was the best since 1999. A man that left a debt free country to his successor. It was during his regime that a once labelled that they say their reward was in heaven started building and buying cars.

Forget all these your lie. OBJ's regime built all FMCs you can see all over the nation. Built specialist hospitals in states without General hospital. He also maintained stable economy all through his regime.

Nigeria needed industry and infratructure like power more than we needed hospitals .

Name the hospitals you claim he built sef, just give me names of 2 so that I can factcheck.

What are FMCs, Federal Military Colleges? In any case give me names of 2 FMCs he built .

Obasanjo was an unmitigated disaster .
