Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has warned that the Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East could take 15 more years to eliminate if the government fails to focus on education.

He also warned the country about the risks of a population explosion.

According to him, Nigeria’s population will be 450 million in the next 30 years.

Obasanjo gave the warnings while addressing some youths and students at a youth programme organised by the Youth Development Centre, an arm of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, in Abeokuta on Tuesday.

He urged the government to find a lasting solution to the big rise in the number of children out of school in some parts of the country, saying the development had contributed to the Boko Haram insurgency.

Obasanjo said, “There should be no Nigerian child that should be out of school for any reason.

“You have already got your Boko Haram in the next 15 years if you don’t do anything about that. So, whatever you are talking about, unless you take care of inclusivity, you will not get there. Quality is important, but inclusivity is much better.”

He urged Nigerian youths not to lose hope despite the challenges facing the country.

Obasanjo, who described himself as “an incurable optimist about Nigeria”, said although the situation in Nigeria was bad, he could see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Obasanjo recalled how he and the late Gen Murtala Muhammed turned around the country’s fortunes after the 1970 civil war.

He said, “Having run the affairs of Nigeria as a military Head of State when some people felt there was virtually no hope, we turned it around.”

Obasanjo added, “I have tremendous hope in Nigeria; I am an incurable optimist about Nigeria.

“During the Murtala Muhammed government and my government soldiers who were working in Lagos and who had to go to office in public transport did not wear their uniforms, they were ashamed. But within the space of six months, they were proudly wearing their uniforms. So, it can be done.


“Don’t lose hope. The current situation is bad. I don’t need to tell you that, but I can see the light beyond the tunnel. There is light beyond the tunnel.”

The man who brought the evil and dreaded Boko Haram to our nation just told us their expiring date.

We have lost count of how many soldiers and our citizens that have lost their lives since this insurgency.
Hundred of thousands of avoidable deaths.

No man will go scot free on all the evil they have brought upon our darling nation.

Posterity will judge us all.

We Rise!

engrchykae:
this man obasanjo was warned by CIA in 2003 that there is a gathering of islamic fundamentalists around the sambisa area but as a typical politician who is wired to think about the next election,he turned a blind eye so that he wont annoy the north and be in their bad book since general buhari who is sympathetic to the boko ideology is also a constestant in the 2003/2004 presidential election.
so in order to win election obasanjo permitted boko haram by turning a blind eye when some states adopted sharia law spitting on our constitution and doing nothing when boko started.
he left the boko problem for yar adua who used force on boko haram and the rest is history.
obasanjo sure knows how to play the saint.
but he is an unrepentant chronic embodiment of wicked hypocrisy.

Wow !

Northerners, next time

Can you tell us in simple sentences how he brought Bokoharam to the North and some evil Northeners embrace it as if it is food.
Or perhaps tell us why he leave his Southwest brothers and decide to use Northeners to destroy their people.
Am sure you were still in this country when Buhari was talking against federal government killing his people or Elrufai rant that those that kill Northeners will be repay one day.
This your to Buhari is killing you because of what you are eating from it.
Note you will not eat forever.

It is a fact that Buhari made this nonsense made to kill christians attractive. Paying people after they kill thousands is reward no matter how they are trying to bend it. Christians are very foolish and are responsible for the success of the violent spread of islam with their docility that shocks to the marrow

OBJ is the comander in chief of the arm bandit aka boko haram. at his age he should just concetrate on his health and think of how fire will roast him in HELL.

This man is supposed to be in prison!!! Anytime I ed that obasanjo squandered $16,000,000,000 for one phantom electricity project which never materialized, I cringed!!! Like wtf, that's about dangote's net worth. Ohh lord!!!

An unrepentant stupid zombiefied liar can never change.

Shut the hell up

OBJ is one of the biggest problems of this nation.

Boko Haram, he is the founder.
Tax, he is not paying.
16 BILLION naira that could have given long lasting electricity to 5 African nations put together, he embezzled it all.
Same man that sent soldiers to go and wipe out an entire town just some few years ago, and he is thinking he will go scot free with such atrocity.

Same man that some criminals and animals are singing his praise to heaven right now all because of their hatred for their nation.

There was a country!

HEY CAN YOU TELL ME HOW IS IT THAT OBASANJO IS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT BOKO HARAM? I TRIED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE NOT TO BELIEVE THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SAYING YOU ARE A CONFIRMED NUISANCE, BUT, YOU'VE JUST PROVE THEM RIGHT.

after watching Beast of No Nation, i feel Boko haram may last for 50 more years if not properly managed.
They would keep springing up with different names.

An attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North

Baba has spoken... Anyway that's d problem of the North cuz i could recall someone said "attack on Boko Haram is attack on the North" sometimes ago so let them continue fighting unending war with their sabotage

Buhari and APC created Boko Haram to destroy Jonathan government.
