Nigeria Has Disappointed Black Race, Africa And World At Large –Obasanjo


The former Nigerian President emphasized that this disunity has kept the country from achieving greatness and fulfilling its potential as a leading force for the black race.

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed concern over Nigeria's lack of unity, which he believes has hindered the nation's progress.

The former Nigerian President emphasized that this disunity has kept the country from achieving greatness and fulfilling its potential as a leading force for the black race.

Receiving a 20-member delegation from the League of Northern Democrats on Tuesday, led by former Kano State governor Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau, Obasanjo explained that regionalism, which emerged before Nigeria's independence in 1960, is at the root of the country's prolonged lack of cohesion, The PUNCH reports.

“The truth is that at independence, Nigeria emerged with three leaders, and so it has been a situation of three countries in one ever since,” he said.

Despite these challenges, Obasanjo said he remains optimistic about the future of Nigeria, adding, “As long as we can look back as a country and correct the mistake of the past.”

He stressed the importance of merit, capacity, and ability in appointing leaders rather than focusing on regional backgrounds. “It is high time we began working for the national interest,” he noted.

Obasanjo continued, “Yes, you have identified your group as the League of Northern Democrats, but how I wish you to call your group National League of Democrats because where you come from should not be a problem. Where I was born should not be the enemy of my Nigerianess.”

“I will be increasing by being a Nigerian rather than being a member of the Republic of Oodua.

“I am undoubtedly proud to be a Yoruba but my being a Nigerian should not be the enemy of my being a Yoruba…we must get the best man for the job, it doesn’t matter where he comes from. We must get our acts together,” he added.


The former President urged the nation to focus on uniting for progress. He also reflected on the country’s missed opportunities, stating, “When we got our independence, what they were calling us was giant in the sun, but is that the situation today? We have disappointed ourselves, we have disappointed the black race, Africa, and the world at large.”

Obasanjo added that despite the disheartening state of the country, it is not too late to make amends and strive for greatness.

“We must put the past behind us and work for the greatness of Nigeria,” he concluded.

Gowon started the rot and you others after him followed his footstep.

Nigeria actually disappointed herself,
In the scheme of consequeciality Nigeria is actually inconsequential to the world. If she exists then fine, if she doesn't then the world will move on without her.

You, majorly caused the rot in Nigeria and disappointed yourself and all your family . This baba need to die in peace and leave Nigeria alone. He’s too old to be this manipulative. It does not work anymore.

Nigeria was not designed to succeed, it was designed for the benefit of colonialists. Now it exists for the benefit of neo-colonialsts

There's hatred in Nigeria being propagated by parents behind closed doors teaching their children to hate before going to bed every blessed day.

Disunity, mutual suspicion

But we Yoruba Muslims are very comfortable and enjoying Tinubu gvt, ipob and Aboki are wailers

This country sef

I spoke to a retired army general about this development and he was highly disappointed.

His words were "is airport the next thing to do?".

Too many problems facing osun state. Even the governor is becoming a torn in his own home town with a lot of people hoping he doesn't win a second term.

To make matters worse, the king is having so many court cases of land grabbing. He is intent on selling whatever he can at the expense of the locals.

Who will come to the aid of these unprivileged people who chose to stand by their own but are being oppressed?

With Ibadan airport bring upgraded to international airport and akure airport being in use, how many people would actually use the proposed airport in osun state.

With Ibadan being the sit of power of the old western region, the Ibadan airport which was commissioned I June , 1982 by Joseph wayas has always been a shadow of itself with little to no activities. Ibadan has a massive commercial hub couldn't make use of its airport very well.

I can't help but wonder what use the proposed airport will be useful for in Ede, osun state.


Former governor Aregbesola turned the airport at iddo osun to a cargo airport almost a decade ago and till date, it is not functioning.


How can a governor be so insensitive to the plight of its people.

Yes, development must be made, but what about the timing? There are major crisis in the country and all the dancing governor is thinking of is chasing hundreds of farmers from their land, so as to build an airport that can never be beneficial to the state in anyway, except for the upper class who can afford to land private jets there.

What a shame.

Same Obasanjo spent 2 full presidential totalling 8 years in power, with no noteable achievements to speak of. In fact he set the corrupt path of the corrupt political and government system we are suffering today.

That's Nigeria leaders because the youths are doing great globally from entertainment to ICT, medicine e.t.c

You’re right

as long as you are with northerners, nothing will move. sapagote is just public image cleaning
they ruined everything

Truth be told OBJ is correct. the last 10 years have seen Nigerias reputation fall flat. The hunger capital. The poverty capital etc. Yet some people can't see this. Shame will rest on the heads of those ers of the draconian regime.

Abeg not Nigerians...... Inec, Tinubu and his ronu, agbado urchins.....

I don't understand our leaders? Why didn't he make the country great in he's time?
How did he handle the privatisation process?
Why is it so difficult for our leaders to consider the wellbeing of the masses?
Why can't they reduce the cost of government, must they buy the latest SUV or waste funds on so many government deligates?
The bla¢k man needs to change their ways, being very wicked is not an achievement.
It's the wicked mindset that makes a student to behead another fellow student all in the name of cultism. Just one little disagreement boom! Head don drop for ground and one expect such things to be a good leader that can create a conducive environment?
It's not possible, such people can never have empathy or understand how a normal human being or society should live.

This man no go ever keep quiet
Like Nigerians were living big and large under his istration.
Like he gave Nigeria and Nigerians the best governance ever.....
Baba rest oooooooooo
You follow dey wertin Nigeria and Nigerians dey through, infact you should bury your head in shame.
In Nigeria history, you had the longest regime at the presidency.
Just rest Great Grandpa , rest Sir

The same group of people that ed Buhari have regrouped to Tinubu….lol. That’s how deep tribalism has brainwashed them. They can’t think for themselves.

Ezewuzie01:
Obasanjo is always talking nonsense whenever he has lost political relevance.

The civil war criminal wanted to do third term as a civillian president in contravention of the constitution he swore to uphold but for northerners who cut him to size.

He brought in Goodluck saying that the ijaw man was best thing after smoked fish but pursued him after only one term.

He switched to Buhari saying that the exGeneral was going to fight corruption but started singing another tune after 4 years. He wanted to remove Buhari but Buhari used his own military experience to overpower him.

He then came with a shameless fraudster who swore with the lives of his own children never to leave APGA but has ed 3 different parties already and may his 4th if the crisis in LP persists. Just because Nigerians rejected the latest failure and agulu fraudster that he packaged for them, he has been wailing endlessly as if he is no longer responsible for the 16 billion dollars he spent to provide constant electricity during his corruption-ridden istration.

And the only antedote to the problems you cited was to bring in an intercontinental fraudster?

It's not Nigeria butthe president that disappointed

Acidosis:

I believe you were not born before 1999 when Obasanjo came to power. The five president the nation has produced since the return of democracy has Obasanjo as the best. He assembled our best brains both at home and abroad. He sacked under performing and corrupt ministers without warning.
During his days as president, world leaders came for visits.
He may not be perfect but he is the best

Dd

You contributed your own quota to the rottenness but nevertheless, you are the best Nigerian president ever. Yar'adua would have been better, had death not taken him.

Who started it Baba? 🤷 Because of your quest to rule Nigeria for the 3rd time. You so much spoilt the NASS so much with funds, such that the effects is been felt till tomorrow. Baba, I'm yet to read your part from all the allegations against you concerning the $16b meant for the generations of energy. You & the useless Atiku that is so desperate to rule Nigeria now looted this country dried. Baba, though you tried creating the EFCC, but what happened eventually was they became witch hunting your opponents. You that hardly forgive? Abeg, Baba park well ooo. President Goodluck Jonathan replied open letter back to you? Maybe you need to go and re-read the letter again. Baba, you have so much personal investments (though all the funds stolen by you naa nii) in Ado-Odo Ota LG. But till tomorrow, Ado-Odo Ota LG in respects of do many industries/companies remain the worst LG when it comes to infrastructures. Baba, you know the major road from Sango-Ota to Abeokuta naa.....lol. Ain't you ashame that in respect of you been the head of government for 8 years, nothing was to show for it? Baba, you dey make me vest oooo 😭. What about all the lands you grab during all your tenure on power? A bi you think that I don't know the story of how you collected N200m from Mike Adenuga during the opening of your library in Abeokuta before you finally approved his license to flown Glo Mobile network? Baba, I followed your government history very well. You are so rotten if you don't know. Rumor or no rumor, were you not the one in the news then for sleeping with your son wife? Baba, come on now....you think people will quickly forget about your atrocities nii? Baba, please free us/me oooo. Please it will do you more favour if you shut that your wide open dirty mouth as let Nigeria/Nigerians be at rest and be managing themselves biko.

Best president how?

This manipulative obasanjo, he doesn't know which region he genuinely and sincerely can claim, therefore, he doesn't want anyone called nigerian to have self identity. His opinion is same as the other people that have no place they can call home, reason why they are scattered everywhere.
obasanjo is the worst thing that has ever happened to Nigeria; very selfish, myopic, self grandstanding,and hypocritical

Igbo's want to exit and tired of the marriage. Marriage is not by force
