A Nation that is Rich, A People that are poor. Nigeria’s problem is made up of every individuals Nigerians. Until we solve our individual problems, no matter the person put in position of running the country, the country will continue in corruption. Our problem is that we eye a particular position because of what we will gain and not what we can do to countribute to the society we profess to serve. We also support foolishness because of what we benefit. Every Nigerian is blessed with knowledge but very few are blessed with Wisdom. Power is not wisdom. Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. Without wisdom power is POISON. The Bible tells us that “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him”. So even if Obasanjo is there for life, if he has no wisdom Nigeria will not progress. ‘A personâ€™s sense of morality lessens as his or her power increases’ – Lord Acton.

when i hear pro third term campaigners talking i laugh, they make many allussions to babas policies, saying that it’s better he continues for consolidation sake. i never forget to ask them this question, “is obasanjo the only inteligent man in Nigeria ? ” they b/com dumb:lol:
the truth is that all the policies that seem to have been put in olace by his administration are all the natural dividends of democracy, and not his effort. it is simple logic in a military regime private investors are afraid of investing, because military government are usually unstable but in a democracy they are sure that their profits will keep comming for a very long time. baba is the most corrupt man on earth ! for instance if elections were rigged in Anambra state then presidency was also rigged !

OBJ should stay on! Who said we should practice demo or whatever like the west? Our problems and challenges are peculiar to the wests’ and even other African countries! Many respondents only talk about anoda person, change, African leaders bla bla what about the issues? What about tracking govt policies from the past? Give an alternative to OBJ’s govt and defend it…..you just want change NONSENSE We need to consolidate the gains we have achieved, its not all rosy but we are pulling ourselves…..someone give an alternative and not all the rubbish about change, IBB (God forbid, Atiku sef….)the guy we have now has grasp and direction…follow the news, read his pronouncement! We shld be strengtheng our ability to check his excesses not introduce some thief who has no vision, direction or strategy! OBJ carry go and devise a robust scheme to inform Nigerians of the progress (its a PR thing!) Nigerians i believe are not capable of reading numbers or rationality (its a diminished responsibility thing!)

obj’s desire is not surprising as this is same wish others in his position would also request;but what about the youths who are ofcourse the future—obj is too old!I really bother most about what’s left for the next generation leaders……..I pray for growth,development,real leaders and progress………..obj has to vacate if not peacefully but forcefully if not we will be stagnant…….indeed enough is enough,u have done enough!

[...] No one has ever mirrored my thoughts about Obasanjo’s third term bid like David Blair. His articled titled: “Change that could upset Nigeria’s balancing act” summarized my thought about this whole matter. [...]
