Obasasao is a thief definately we all know, immediately he became president all Yoruba's back out because we know his precedence and they never supported him. he's just a bad man right from his days as a soldier. but dudu's comment of him being a yoruba man and yuruba's are thief is quite unfortunate we all know he sorrounded himself with his cronies who are Yoruba's Ibo's and Hausa's to loot the treasury . so tribal issues does not come in here. Dudu you are not suppose to be a public commentor

Dudu, i can only say may God guide u to understand what u are doing. I'm not Yoruba but i'm not happy the way took things personal with yorubas. If u are better than yoruba, what have u done to move Nigeria forward? i'm a TROPICAL HAUSA MAN, but i bet u, we have pple like IBB, ABDULSALAM, ATIKU, and lots of others that u know, who steal more than those mention in ur comments. i'm not defending them but i don't want u to focus on one tribe & leave others. Every tribe has thieves.

CAN, kudos to you for making that call. He proclaim to be your member I believe thats what necessitate that call. If all religious leaders do their work well either in churches or mosques, Nigeria would have gone far beyond where we are now! We've got what it took Dubai to be where they are now. God bless Nigeria.

dudu you obviously lack home training or you would not be using the words you sued in public. you are way below the level of debate we are having. I am Yoruba and i don't steal. i have never done a government contract and will never do one. i am proud of my country and have met great minds from all over the country. you are inconsequential in God's great plan for Nigeria. it will happen in your eyes. God bless Nigeria. try finding people on your low level to discuss tribalism with.

Iyabo Obasanjo is a typically dirty and ugly Yoruba lady with stinking pussy and thieving criminal habits. EFCC should arrest her and sentence her to death by firing squad.

i like to see the logic in everyone's reasoning. Osas please can you tell me how dividign into 3 will solve our problems. please tell me how it will end hunger and poverty and lack of jobs. Henry my brother you have a rigth to be bitter. this country has failed us but people make countries and democracy has worked well in many countries so why would we just want to throw it away in less than 10 years of continous democracy. despite how bad OBJ was, our best times were in democracy.

If its not dirty Iyabo,it is Kenny martins, or Bode George, or Patricia Etteh, or Tafa Balogun, or Grange, or Bunmi Oni, or Obasanjo himself, or Kupolokun etc etc. These Yoruba's are a bunch of dirty thieving criminals.All they know how to do is steal, steal and steal. Their looting of Nigeria has pushed many poverty stricken Nigerians into crime, and turned others to refugees abroad.

henry, let's be factual. for how long have we practiced democracy? we just have the 1st civilian transfer of power. how can you say it has failed. women and blacks did not get to vote for a long time in America. this system gives us the best chance to win and we can win the battle within the rules. it takes action and not words. we must also address real issues. i don't think democracy is the problem. i think our cowardice and non participation gives them the guts to take us for a ride.

Even in our respective villages there are oppressors. We must begin to address our real issue. We teach our people to know that the power no longer lies with the politicians but us.

Henry i ask again. how tribe is responsible for corruption? we have a police force that is not well equipped and cannot function. The countries we envy have different cultures and if we want to be like them we should study what made them progress. do you think creating a confederation will just wipe out corruption? Which tribe does not steal? which is the innocent tribe in Nigeria? it is a shame on the black man that we cannot tolerate each other based on tribe and yet blame whites for racism

Gentlemen, enough with the criticism. If OBJ is actually quilty of all the allegations levied against him as witnessed during the public hearings, then EFCC should invite him for questioning. The good thing about the whole drama is the public awareness it has created which goes to show in a way that our Countries Democracy is on track. The house of Senate & Rep should constitute more committees of inquiries to investigate other parastaters in office since 1999.

I subscribe to the wise counsel above(name withheld) that we should address Nigeria's problem from a wholistic point of view.If Obasanjo should be probed with the aim of recovering money from him to develop all parts of the country evenly, then that is good.Nobody should talk of killing or imprisoning him,just recover the stolen money and use it evenly.Past leaders like IBB and others should be probed too.They do not need to be killed or jailed, but our stolen money recovered and well utilized.

Compare Yoruba states that were not developed like a former capital (Lagos) and tell me what difference there is between Osun and Jigawa, or between Ekiti and Zamfara. If all the Igbos and others pull their businesses out of Lagos, it will turn to another Ibadan-economically dead. Yet Lagos has been described as a run-down city by the UN. Is that the Lagos you are proud of? If Yorubas are smart, they should develop all their states.

Obj has truly represented the Yoruba well. What he did is what every other Yoruba person will easily do. Remember Tafa Balogun, Ehindero, Bode George, Iyabo, Kenny Martins, Grange, Etteh, Bunmi Oni (cadbury) Rufus Giwa (Lever Brothers), Tunde Lemo, Omowunmi (WEMA bank), Pastor Akanni (INEC) and others too numerous to mention. Corruption and thievery runs in their blood. I urge every other Nigerian to stay away from Yorubas or else they corrupt you with their evil and greed.

Alabi Opeyemi Bamidele:Shagari/Dikko/Ekwueme were not rogues as the left office poorer.Shagari doesn't even own a property in Abuja neither Dikko.Ekwueme sold most of his assets in 1985 to make ends meet.OBJ came in with 20,000 in 1999 and left in 2007 with 200 million shares in transcorp,30 million naira monthly income from his farms,over 20 landed properties in Abuja,a magnificient library,an educational institution from primary level to university level,a mansion in Abeokuta,etc.

Obasanjo is synonymous to Jesus Christ. The Jews did not recognised JC when they saw him. Nigerians have failed to recognised their political messiah (Obj) when he is in their mix. They have chosen to crucify him on the cross of EFCC for no just course. B/4 your own very eyes; Nigerians will set forth alters in high places and worship Obj as their Lord and personal saviour in earnest. Obj the deliverer, the lamb of God. Nigerians yet unborn will remember your good work forever and ever Amen.

These people wont cease to amaze me - what has IBB done to clear his name? What has the Abacha family who stole billions of dollars done to clear their name - stole and kill hundreds of people, what has Shagari/Dikko and other who plundered our economy into what it is now - what have they done to clear their names? We seem to forget so soon, havent you relaised it is people who lost face with OBJ that regularly call for him to be probed? He denied them and they want a pay back.

Shame on you OBJ, he afford to build refinery for himself. SHAME ON YOU.

Where are the Yoruba pastors. Some of them benefitted from Obj and where praising him to high heaven then. They have ''fakely'' kept quiet on this OBJ SAGA. Everything about them is fake and pretencious.

I have always said it time without number that when Nigerians see a good leader they wouldn't recognised him. CAN has no moral jurisdiction to write off Obj's administration as a disappointment. Nigerians are benefiting from the largesse of Obj's administration. If not for Obj's reforms, I wonder what the story would have been. Obj's name is dazzling like a rare diamond so, why are you talking of clearing his name. Has IBB, Umaro Dikko and others cleared their names?

personally and sincerely speaking,i thought that if baba still "dey kampe " as he normally claim to be and he sees that he has done everything 'right'he should boldly come out and clear his name from different attrocities that were directly linked to him,afterall he set up everything before he left for checks and balances but i do not see the correlation of CAN in this,or is obasanjo now part of CAN executives, or a memeber of CAN ?

STOP THE CRITISISM!am really disappoited in the words of the CAN president, and am very sure this are his words and not the christian generally. What he has done in the last 8yrs are all he can do and nothing more.When do you hear the islamic cleric talk evil of all evil doers that have ruled the country. Nigeria problem has not just started and what a complex country to rule.Pls let the man be, you can never do better than what he did.How often did you prayed for him wjile in office.

ahaa, ahaa, i use to think when they say CAN, It means organisatn that does not join real issue with sentiments. to say obj 8 yrs is total dissapointment is a fallacy. for all his faults, OBJ is still 100times better than those that leads this country before him. indicies are there to justify. Also CAN shouldknow that running government is totally different from running church, where GOD do100% of the work. enough of this clearing and let do sth worthwhile. let prevent GOVT of today frm stealing

Rev Pam may have a problem with Obasanjo but he has not said anything bad against him.He said if those things revealed are true then that its unfortunate and really it will be very unfortunate.Those who may find the pleasure to insult an annointed man of God for whatever reason I will advise you to watch your tongue.This is not I know law or freedom of speech.

those criticizing Frank cannot actually see he makes more sense that they do. how can you tell a president to go and defend failed contracts? are there not people in charge of those parastatals. why do we have government structures. it shows how ignorant we are. i am not saying OBJ is clean but please let them bring out concrete evidence and stop beating about the bush. all they want to prove is we are all thieves so they will not be tried. Kalu said it already and u all are falling mugu again

The CAN call is clarion and said with a stroke of genius. OBJ should haul himself henceforward to the Panels to clear his name if there is anything left to it. He once said he was ready to die for Nigeria - this is the time he should do that good service to Nigeria. It is our rights to know what he did with our lives and fates for 8-year. Any decent person would have gone to clear their names, that is the best way to put your hands where the public can see and all speculations bygone for once.

The absurdities and contradictions that characterized the Obasanjo Administration were clear to many objective observers. He ruled, not as an elected president accountable to the people but as an Emperor. His brusque, rude and crude ways knew no bounds; that was why he insulted the Reverend gentleman. What did CAN do? They gave him a certificate of Excellence!!

1year after we are still on OBJ and falling for the trap of these thieves. why can't anyone get concrete evidence on OBJ? i don't want what his minister did. I want to see what he did. i am convinced you will never find. where is the petrol now? you all shouted and they took refinery from Dangote.now we crucify Ribadu & a stupid judge ask Ngozi who redeemed our image to return her salary. what sort of people are we? how can we forget how bad it was in 1999. what have you done for Nigeria?

in which civilised country is the president directly for how his miniters and parastals carry out there functions? he may be responsible for what happened during his government but i am yet to see anyone directly link OBJ to any stealing. was he to check the CAC records of the companies? How come the thieves like Atiku and Kalu are the ones championing our cuase? i blame OBJ though becos withouth 3rd term he would have left in glory. why are we supporting the thieves? we are surely blind

Pam doesn't come across as an objective assessor of OBJ. he has an axe 2 grind with him and is just jumping on d 'crucify OBJ' waggon 2 take back his pound of flesh. and PUNCH also disappointed by equating Pam's voice with that of northern CAN. ur paper is not known 4 sensationalism or u av also joined them 2 beat them. OBJ is now d devil cos he dismantled d northern hold on power. there is more to painting him black than all these; governance is a collective responsibility.

Mr Otorofani, i didn't know you had to be an expert to comment on issues affecting your country. And on the chance you've been living in space, even ordinary nigerians that have not been "disgraced" by Obj think he is a terrible disappointment.

It is very amazing that the people criticising OBJ the most are the ones that are seeking thier own pound of flesh. The other day it was Danjuma, today it is the Rev.Pam- this man contrary to what our lord preached about forgiveness has not forgiven OBJ for calling him "total idiot" after the religious riot in Jos. I hope he is not about to prove OBJ right, if he had not done so already.

"Physician heal thyself" look at who is talking.Some of these clergy men would do and say anything to be relevant.Respected and reputable people like Maduka spoke the truth yesterday. Even the clergy are misinforming ordinary Nigerians about OBJ achievements.

FRANK, if you did not have a human name I would have thought you are something from the zoo the way you reason bottom-up. I bet it is worth believing that obasanjo is born again christian as he claimed! A man who gave a way contracts to his daughter inlaw over a plate of sex and sold Ajokuta Steel to his son, and is first to benefit from farmers' agric loan even as president is worth your pride? You are either born stupid or deliberately an idiot.

The clergyman just opens his mouth to pass comments on issues he's least knowledgeable in. In civilized climes novices don't just open their mouths and talk anyhow. They leave matters for the experts. In Nigeria the reverse is the case. Everyone is an expert; whether it's aviation, transportation, energy, law, banking, you name it. You defend yourself only when you're directly accused of wrongdoing. You don't go defending yourself b'cos a contractor failed to perform after receiving payments.

What do you expect from a clergyman that was disgraced and asked to shut up by OBJ during a peace meeting in Jos over the religious riots? He was whisked away with his tail tucked behind like a dog. Do you expect him to clap for OBJ? Negative comments coming from people like this looking for vengeance mean nothing. I pay greater attention to comments from people like Vincent Maduka who described OBJ as the "best President Nigeria ever had" in yesterday's Tribune, not some vengeful clergyman.

I quite don't get it why people don't get it that obj thinks he's above the law. All it takes is for you all to look into the background of the man. In 79, he helped Shagari into the presidency,thereafter, he was declared an inst. so no one can touch him when he left office. He's done the same thing again in 07. You all have to be kidding to think obj wil go and subject himself to ridicule before the senate. He's as dirty and corrupt as the rest of the crew he led...shame on you obj.

It is better for Obj. to set himself ablaze than to give account of his 8 years of misrule.(Lawlessness) a man that did almost every thing with impunity and recycled all his dubious friends as ministers: special advisers and ended up with the most sophiscated gang of treasuary looters with him at the head. if ever he has the gut to appear in public in defence of his leadership i will conclude for the last time that what is in his brain is rotten saw dust. ur leadersip was as ugly as ur looks.
