Obasanjo is so loved by all Nigerians except by his own Yoruba ethnic group. Their reason is that he’s non-tribal and that he works for one Nigeria all the time instead of projecting their own ethnic interests first. His rise to greatness still remains a mystery to them because he would never have become anything if it were to come from them(the Yorubas). He understands this very much and has been lucky to realize early enough that being just and fair to all is better than being a tribal bigot. His reign between 1976 and 1979 was a period of true reconciliation and transformation. The second one 1999 to 2007 recorded the best times for Nigeria’s economy and national peace and unity.
The United States is forcing Dangote refineries to pay it( U.S) for refining Nigeria oil on Nigerian soil. Let's stop pretending that these old people are on Africa's side.
Why is it that the Yorubas don't recognize Chief Obasanjo in the pecking order? After Chief Obafemi Awolowo, they say Jagaban is second in the pecking order. Where do you place Baba Iyabo?

Être General, veut - il dire qu'on aime pas son pays ? Le seul element important est l'amour de sa Patrie et travailler pour et non une démocratie importée. Churchill en angleterre et De Gaule en France étaient des militaires qui ont developpé leur pays.

I just love Baba,with all my heart,he is a Pan African.the wisdom is out of here. African leaders should utilize his ability and connection to free themselves of the shackles of the oligarchy
There is nothing wrong with liberal democracy. The problem is African leadership: authoritarianism and view your political opponents as enemies, greed ,selfishness etc.
Cutting the video cut at the most important point of the discussion shows we are still imperialists’ puppets and afraid of imperialist retribution, chastisement and sanctions. Our land is rich but remain poor because our minds remain impoverished under the spirit of colonialism. .
We are so sorry Mr President, due to the unable situation and what have you, now we've even change the Nigeria new name it turns into no nonsense instead of nigerîa, i assure any one who doesn't make the necessary requirements for making our country Better we will full him/her out of the position Best regards political leaders
African Union only in paper, not in practice! AU is for Africans and not non Africans to dedicate Africa n affairs; that’s big issue; it’s as if AU has been used by the colonizers not to put the Union in practice; when will Africa be free?

Don't be swayed by politician's speeches. They could be trying to fool you. First, determine if they are overly corrupt because gross corruption is what has gotten us here.

When you have the opportunity to make history by changing the trajectory of the country when the opportunity called giving advice and suggestions from the sideline it's in futility
Many Nigerians have forgotten that they're lovely obasanjo used the same evil constitution that we were complaining about in his tenure, which is military decree 24 of 1999 for 8 years. It is true that obasanjo is fighting for one nigeria, but he does not care if it's working for the betterment of common Nigerians or not. In fact, because of his love for one nigeria, He passed a bill before is tenure end in 2007 that history should be ERASED from nigeria school curriculum, cos history has failed to address nigeria as one, without thinking of the outcomes damage of his action. When people did not know theirs ancestral history or theirs generational historical background of their tribes, means such tribes would never know whom they were on the surface of earth.
