A Conversation with H.E. Olusegun Obasanjo, former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

[@achirindikum4608]

Former President H.E. Olusegun Obasanjo a great leader and simple indeed. It was a pleasure for me to meet him in person 5 years ago during the UN High Level Meeting to End HIV/AIDS in New York. He is an envoy for peace. Nigeria still needs his wisdom.

[@elani6507]

A leader is always a leader and can never be suppressed. Obasanjo’s rise to power has been nothing short of miraculous from the start. A man whose destiny was set even if he didn’t want it. He has sought knowledge and wisdom into his old age and whether Nigerians like him or not, he is the most accomplished, refined and humble president in our history. I don’t think he still believes his remarkable journey given his beginnings in the military at Independence!

[@michaelojo1128]

Yes, he was, and by far the best president Nigeria ever had. Though, i agreed that we're in a big problem for now, but till date, Nigerians has never produced an eloquent, understanding and a good representative president has Obasanjo. Do not quote me wrong, Nigerians has never produced any good president that really understands them as people. But among the old clowns who had ruled this country, he is by far better than any former, present president or head of state. Maybe after him you can choose Yar'adua

Mr President - we already created solutions for many of what you are talking about, leadership, vision, dream. Young Nigerians like myself have been thinking of this for many years. If we get the support required - do please let us know.

[@highthoughts1]

I am from the west and I can see from here that Nigeria's problems are conspicuous. Nigerians seem to lack the capacity to understand what it takes to make a country/nation work. Nigeria is under a model that HAS/CAN NEVER WORK IN HISTORY. Nigeria has a problem of 'ethnicity'. There are ethnic differences that are irreconcilable because of prejudice, hate and impunity. The only way for Nigeria to work is to go back to the roots of all their ethnicities. IT MUST FIRST BE DIVIDED. If any mass unity will come at some point, let it come from nations deciding to come together on their own terms. Also, you cannot have a country that start under the leadership of an alien few.

[@rariri1]

What president Obasanjo said about Nigeria's problems, and the solutions to those problems is totally complete and deep. His speech has laid the foundation to put Nigeria together again and make it the great nation that God has created it to be. Nigeria is good for Africa and it is good for the world as a whole. There are things that God wants to do with Nigeria that will benefit the whole world. We may be looked upon just as another African country, but the destiny of Nigeria goes beyond our borders. God is raising mighty men of God from Nigeria that will benefit the whole world. This is one of the reasons Satan is trying so hard to destroy Nigeria before it can achieve its God given assignment. As a man of God, I know what I am talking about. But I cannot go into details all that God has showed me about Nigeria. I am one of the God appointed preachers from Nigeria to deliver mankind from the pit of hell for the forth coming End Time, which God has revealed to me. And my ministry is a world wide ministry. And I am not the only one God will use from Nigeria. Nigeria is a very blessed country and the mighty hands of God is upon Nigeria. God will not allow the devil to conquer Nigeria. God wants to use Nigeria for his purposes in the world. Apostle R. A.

[@yinka661]

Obasanjo was “part” of the problem ! This speech was him trying to absolve himself of his part in this nightmare. The military which elevated him to prominence destroyed this geographical expression. I completely disagree with him using the new phenomenon for diversity; a cynical PR stunt by oppressors. This is a bogus cop out. We all know what the issue is but until we can address an incestuous oligarchy that are milking the land dry while impoverishing it’s citizens during the process nothing will happen. Dissolving this marriage amicably is the only solution.

[@livinuschukwumobi2674]

If God is in the project Nigeria as you claim, pastor, I guess He would have enjoyed to have Isaac and Ishmael live together as single nation or there would not have been need for the Canaanites and other occupants of the promised land to be evicted.

There is only one reason why I am not there yet and that is Financial resources. I am currently trying to create some asset classes that can provide the funds needed to create the projects that I have in mind. Perhaps you can let us know if there is access to funding on the ground so that people with the knowledge can come create. If there is - I would be there tomorrow.

If the history of former leaders are summed up in 5 pages, President OBJ as we favoritely call him, will appear in 100 pages because of the much he was, has been, saw, did and continues to do. The relative peace Nigerians enjoy all point to his role towards making the maximum use of his position towards nation building through inclusivity and getting the best of brains to do their job. Most times the led do not know who they have, but in Gen. OBJ, we knew and know who we have. GOD BLESS The Wilson Center Organizers. GOD Bless The United States of America.

Buhari never had the intention to govern niheria properly as well as those who sponsored his entry into the presidency. If he was honest, he would not have contested in the elections. The result today is obvious. Same applied to the politicians, like tinubu who sponsored Buhari for his own personal ambition to be president. He too is a disastrous liar.

All what you said is true. But the devil is in the details. All that is happening is the work of Satan who wants to take down a great nation. The way forward for Nigeria is to decentralize power to the States and put laws in place to hold politicians accountable for fraud and mismanagement, like we have in the United States. This is the way forward. We cannot put power in the hands of corrupt politicians without accountability. These people cannot be trusted.

Content of the Constitution was to favour the Fulanis.

But, with due respect, he is sometimes not well balanced in his consideration of other perspectives. In the world today - and commonly with liberal concepts - there is so much sophistry in defense of erroneous philosophies and treacherous doctrines!

Is conflict the only way to practice religion or to promote ethnical loyalty? Where is the religious center built by the so called religious extremists? Is killing and destruction part of worshiping? Which ethic group does the insurgents in Nigeria belong? What is their agitation or grievance? There are elements of deception about the whole issue. What we are seeing is far from religious or ethnical crisis. The perpetrators of the crimes are only hiding under religion and ethnicity to wreak havoc.

The independence of Nigeria was too early in 1960

You left Baba Awo and took Aboki why?????????

[@mandahawolola4404]

It was unfortunate, however, Baba can be forgiven and We move forward.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo would have corrected all these anomalies and return us to the true federalism of regional government agreed by the founding fathers at independence, if Obasanjo had not rigged the election for Shagari in 1979. He still made the same mistake again as a civilian president by not returning us to the original true federalism of regional government, and yet still handed us over to the Northern Fulanis Caliphate.

Optimism Of course Oil wells Obj very clever fox

[@juliusscottwilliams1429]

I could confidently say OBJ is one of those leader that gave birth to the insecurity Nigeria is wittnessing today, talking of as common as electricity he who claims to be a manager of diversity couldn't restore.

Chief Obasanjo has done well in enumerating issues on diversity especially where it involves inclusive issues as it touches respect for human right perspective void of political subjugation through falsified strategic device. Chief Obasanjo did not specify the degree of ethnicity, nepotism, tribalism exercised by two thirds of nigeria population against one third with desperate optimism to destroy the aims and aspirations of one single tribe and their affiliate. Obasanjo is a man who either by commission or omission plays a sensitive part to perpetrate hate and utter negligence against one single tribe"Ibos". and their affiliate during his administration in civil and military era. Obasanjo has kept mute lips against the historic evils against the Ibos even now. History with not forgive nigeria government for their roles against the Ibos and their affiliate. Genocide was mentioned during the introduction but courageously neglected when Obasanjo talked. The world has unavoidably refused to mentioned the despotic and tribalistic evils against the entire Eastern nigeria. The world bodies must come in to separate nigeria to their natural existence before 1914 of Lugard's amalgamation. Eastern nigeria needs be separated from fulani political domination resulting to the present political enslavement against the Easterners. Nigeria is north being a country for any reason.
