Obasanjo As The Greatest Living Nigerian (661 Views)

There is no doubt about the fact that former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, is one of the greatest leaders we have ever produced in Nigeria. when you look at it, people forget that it is true that some people are born great, some people acquire greatness, some have greatness thrust on them. So, which one would you say Obasanjo falls into? I think it was forced upon him. God doesn’t make mistakes. Look at how many people have sought to become the President of Nigeria among the Yorubas. Our revered Baba, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, tried, he did not get it. Chief MKO Abiola nearly got it. But Obasanjo became Head of State reluctantly in 1976. Chief Olu Falae equally tried. But Obasanjo cannot be said to be the most righteous person. In fact, they told him before (he became president) that he could not become a deacon in the Baptist Church because of many vices he was said to have perpetrated. Yet, God said this is the person that is going to be your leader. So, whether we like it or not – luckily Yoruba respect two things, age and position. So far in Nigeria, nobody has attained the height of ruling Nigeria for almost 12 years like Obasanjo. There must be something good in him. Since he became Head of State in 1976, he has always has a hand in who becomes the president of Nigeria. It was said he has a hand in how Alhaji Shehu Shagari became the president of Nigeria in 1979. After Shagari, the next one we had was when he became president in 1999. Look at this paradox, Obasanjo became president 20 years after he was said to have had a hand in how Shagari became president. He also has hand in how the late Alhaji Umar Yar’Adua became president in 2007. He also has hand in how Goodluck Jonathan became president and he has hand in how Muhammadu Buhari became president. Tell me if there is any Nigerian that can be said to be greater than that. Obasanjo’s voice in Africa today is about number one. When he talks, everybody knows that Obasanjo has talked. We should not minimise the fact that God decides what he wants to do. I believe that God has a hand in everything is happening in Nigeria, and even everything that is happening in the world. If he calls the United States President, Barack Obama, he doesn’t need to say who is Obasanjo? The world leaders know him. The Secretary General of United Nations, Ban ki Moon, knows him. He may not be the most righteous but he has been the one that has been so favoured. Buhari became President, essentially because of the vote of the North. Obasanjo became president, not because of the votes of the West, it was not the vote of his own people. it cannot be denied that so far he is the biggest Nigerian and as of today, the greatest African after Nelson Mandela, who is no more. Whether the Yoruba accepts him as leader or not, he is not the leader of the Yorubas, but of Nigeria.

How much did that old senile man pay you to write this trash? You must be very high in Asaba weed mixed with Sapele water. For the record, obasanjo ranks as the number 1 criminal and sellout in Africa, not just Nigeria with proofs |
