“During my administration as President, we had some people who were
under 50 years in leadership positions. One of them was Alamieseigha,
where is he today? Lucky Igbinedion, where is he today?
“The youngest was the Speaker, Buhari, you can still recall what
happened to him.
“You said Bola Tinubu is your master; what Buhari did was not anything
worse than what Bola Tinubu did. We got Buhari impeached.
“But in this part of the world, some people covered up the other man.
The man claimed he went to Government College, Ibadan, but the
Governor of Oyo State then went to Government College and packed all
the documents so that they would not know that he did not go there.
“I wanted someone who would succeed me, so I took Atiku. Within a
year, I started seeing the type of man Atiku is. And you want me to
get him there?
“I once went to Tanzania because Julius Nyerere recognised Biafra. He
told me not to mind his aides and others in government. They would say
they have one house in town, but their five-year-old sons and
daughters would have houses all over.
“Some of you who are condemning the leadership would get there
tomorrow and it will be a different story. Only very few are actually
good.
“Abacha, my predecessor, got $750 million. Through our lawyer in
Switzerland we recovered $1.25 billion and the lawyer still said there
is probably still another $1 billion to be recovered.
“In 1979 we had 20 new ships specially built for Nigeria. When I came
back 20 years after, the national shipping line had liquidated.
“The whole thing is not just about leadership. If we talk about good
leadership, you should also talk about good followers. If you talk
about human rights, you should also talk about human duties and
obligations.”
He is very correct. Absolutely spot on. OBJ is a very practical person, he argues with facts. But of course, the people who want to shut him up will gloss over the very visible.
The whole thing is not just about leadership. If we talk about good leadership, you should also talk about good followers. If you talk about human rights, you should also talk about human duties and obligations.”
How many of us can honestly boast of been sincere, candid and diligent in the little position we are occupying right now? People that have criticized the government are in government right now and are doing worse than those they criticized.
Yaron Allah,i can boast of being all that,yes in my lil position at work and I know there are a few other straight' pple out there but with the kind of dragons in our polity,once u dontt do as they do when u get any political appointment,they begin to plot ur downfall.hmmmm in naija,all these bad guys dat have clinged to power since independence need to be killed,else we are going nowhere! @Baba Iyabo...he dat must come to equity must come with cleans hands!see blood see blood!in ur hands Baba so go and rest abeg!
Okay Sir buh I still believe all of una wey be d cause of our problems should be brought into one room n deleted. Make we youths wey don dey here say we be leaders of 2mao take over_it is saddening that u guys don't wanna let us take our rightful place. Someone who was a military governor over 20yrs ago is still in power n u guys are telling us BS. Unu hapum biko oh! I no wan vex ds morning!
Hopefully, you Arent corrupt yourself...cos if you want to put those men In a room and delete them, then lots of youths also needs to be deleted too for atrocities they are also committing.
Leadership is always by example. What example did Obasanjo set for his successors to follow. Right from his days as military head of State. Murtala Mohammed banned the most corrupt politicians. Obasanjo not only un-banned them but also handed over power to them. He is now lamenting that he left 20 ships but met none when he came back. When you use a cat to guard fish what do you expect? Do you still expect to find the fish intact when you return? We are even lucky that Nigeria is still standing as a country till today. Obasanjo laid a horrible leadership foundation for this country way back in 1979 and that warped foundation will continue to haunt this country. Successive leaders are merely taking their cue from him.
We already kn dis thinqz n how d system works in niqeria. We only need a mandela dat will brinq 2book d culprits no mata wat it takes. Talkinq n rantinq won't solve anyfin here.
U'r very stupid.it's your type that's destroying this Country. Bitch, if you don't have something meaningful to contribute, just read on. Retarded nicompoop
the sooner OBJ begins to realize Nigeria is not his own the better for him what dos he mean by he was "looking for a sucessor"...is it his choice to make?????mumu man! he shud face the fact that he is no more the prez he had his chance alredy
Let me give an instance because. the best place to lick asses is Politics;group of Nigerian. journalist came to interview a said leader and after they were interviewed they were handed brown envelopes but they collected;France Nationals came in for that same interview and they were handed brown envelopes as well but they blatantly refused. There is what we call Psyche and it affects at least 90% of its citizens;Mexicans are known for immigrants,Arabs terrorism and Africans are known for Corruption and povertye; Corruption is key here and trails the Nigerian blood due to poverty,if wwe can eradicate poverty then we can have loyal followers;but the question here is ''What happens to the followers when the leader smell and bread corruption?''
Spot on Kaycee...Also yes,we have good followers. But the system isn't Encouraging! We won't give up on our country. I know the change will come because we all are in this Web together. Though the comfortable think it's none of their business.we all are affected one way or the other. Just a few good men can bring that change we seek. Am in are you?#questionforthought
Yes it's not all about leadership but human duties and obligations. for instance this morning on my way to work in Oshodi bus and this bus branched into a top filling station to fill his tank. He asked for a fill of 1500n but unknown to the conductor the fuel attendant sold just 400 worth of fuel to them. then we left, but along the way, the driver noticed that the fuel gauge dint rise so he asked the conductor if he actually saw the fuel attendant wipe the pump before selling to them. in the process a commuter in the bus said she saw it clearly that the man dint wipe that it was 400naira worth he sold. My people, na so we turn back oo, got there and confronted the man and he dint even argue and speedily sold the remaining 1100 to them. Now I ask, is that government? we keep killing ourselves in Nigeria and tend to blame every on the government.
For the first time, I must confess that he has said the truth...........its not just the leaders that are corrupt.....the followers are too......and every leader starts from being a follower.......it not just about sitting and blaming the leaders. How many follower will reach that position and still maintain their integrity........the change we all seek must start from U and I...........
