  1. Lots of rubbish questions and silly answers.
    What are the results of electricity investments in Nigeria and outcomes, blackouts without end.
    Obasanjo in his own accounts in office accused his deputy of corruption at an industrial scales, what did he do?

  2. Can't waste my data listening to you, Africans we 4get easily and celebrate failures. Dis man asconded with billions of dollars met to fix electricity problems in Nigeria. Today Nigeria is in darkness bcos of one man called Obasanjo

  3. They should not twist Baba's words and give current Nigerian rulers and their ilk a 3rd term because its a privilege only afforded to exceptional leaders. They belong in the bin

  4. Talk is cheap 34:44

    Much respect to president obasanjoâ€Ļ
    Based on how he managed debts and brought progress to Nigeria during his 8years of leadership, he’s clearly stated his case on why he’s one of the best leaders Nigeria has hadâ€Ļ it is for the reason many around Africa have so much respect for him.
    Much respect from Cameroonâ€Ļ

  5. Baba is still very very sound. Time indeed is a great teacher. We see now that despite your flaws, you still did far better and tower above all that have come after you, bar Yaradua. In retrospect, a 3rd term with Obasanjo almost certainly would have been a good thing for Nigeria

  6. Tbvh, China and Dubai won't be where they're today if they were changing leadership thru electioneering process like Nigeria. Nigeria would've been among the top 5 best countries in the world if Obasanjo was still ruling us since 1999 till date.

  7. It's amazing how this talk about Africans & world leaders didn't mention the great & late Mr Lee Kwan Yew of Singapore.
    It tells me that we may still be far away from learning how a leader can transform a country. The Chinese that was mentioned got their inspiration from Lee Kwan Yew.
    Mind you Mr Yew while in office fought back against all western criticism & silenced them all with his great performance by putting Singapore on the league of advanced 1st world countries. Scoring even better than most of them.
    Anyway kudos to Baba. I always believed that he should've been the Nigerian Lee Kwan Yew.

  8. đŸ‡ŗđŸ‡Ŧ OBJ says Nigeria has 3 problems
    1ī¸âƒŖ Impunity â€ĸ Lawless in Power
    2ī¸âƒŖ Corruption â€ĸ Thieves in Power
    3ī¸âƒŖ Incompetence â€ĸ Fools in Power

  9. Baba's perspective for the nation is you never appreciate what ou have till it's gone. His government and leadershio remains the most intentional about the people of Nigeria and the nation as a whole. You can tell by the engagements he has made since he left office. No Nigerian president can step into his shoes even after he is long gone. Ke e kpe fun wa o baba Aremu.

  10. I really appreciate how he backs everything up with empirical data in the pitch deck. It’s impressive, especially given the level of detail and clarity. This presentation style is something that even someone like Mr. Tinubu, at his age, can't deliver like this. Excellent work!

  11. Obasanjo, Someone who came from prison where he spent 5 years, straight to Aso Rock. He discovered that the coffers of FG had been emptied by the military. He did not lament like the "NEPA and THIRD PARTY" certificate holders. He did his best and left billions of dollars behind that have been unfortunately squandered by Buhari.

  12. Can Buhari even give the names of only two African countries in each region of Africa the way OBJ is doing without expo? The answer is NO. Buhari and Tinubu are the clueless leaders Nigerians like and turn around to complain about their poor performance.

  13. If one doesn’t know history, you would think OBJ was Lee Kuan Yew lol. There is virtually no issue that plagues Nigeria today that OBJ didn’t play a role in its creation.

  14. Those who formed Nigeria did so after years of constitutional negotiation. They arrived at a federal system which was destroyed by military rule. No one has thought it fit to return to the original constitution. Instead they are always talking about money and power.
