Mr LAOLU AKANDE Thanks for speaking the minds of many Nigerians who are not privilege to speak on Obasanjo as one the Nigeria problem, and now pretending that others president that comes after him is the problems of Nigerian. Let Nigerians hold Obasanjo responsible for the problems of Nigeria. He stop Pa Awolowo from becoming Nigeria president and gave it to Shagari,even his ruling as soldiers in his days. All that president after him follows his footsteps. Thank God he is alive to see his leadership foundation which never build Nigeria but destroyed Nigeria,the suffering of Nigerians today is as result of Obasanjo bad governance foundation. Nigerians should asked him how many poor Nigerians that died in his farm,which he singularly executed because they still either eggs or chickens. He has a blood of innocent Nigerians in his hand,the facts that those family involved keep silent God is not silent, God purposely keep him alive to see the evil leadership foundation he laid for Nigerians. God will keep blessing you for saying the truth about Obasanjo. Thanks for your platform
As a sitting president, Obasanjo and Atiku built University, Obasanjo spent $16 billion on darkness, Obasanjo converted Govt Farm to his personal farm, Obasanjo held the most corrupt election in the history, Obasanjo impeached four governors for going against him, Obasanjo committed genocide against Odi, Obasanjo removed judges, Obasanjo mandated governors to donate billions for building his Library. e.t.c He refused true federalism, he seized Lagos LG allocations and refused to allow them to generate their own electricity. e.t.c
@@kayskillz7119 that period, no social media, it was a black period. Government can do anything they like, nothing like posting brutalities online. They stole money with impunity like a day light robbery, elections was a total charm just like the way governors are conducting LG election and it comes with violence.
You are truly correct to me if any president comes into power and wants Nigerians to enjoy Nigeria, they shouldn't borrow money,next thing they should do is arrest all the past president of Nigeria that are still alive and convert all their wealth into Nigeria government pulse and use it to build Nigeria economy,these wicked leaders they are the reason Nigerians are suffering in Nigeria and out side Nigeria,no Nigerians out side Nigeria that are enjoying, based on no place like home,they are out side Nigeria building another country at the end of the day if they died they brought their corpse back to Nigeria and their wealth remained in foreign land. Shalom
@@kayskillz7119 No 1 accusation - "Obasanjo and Atiku built university". Are these not universities that were built with money borrowed from the banks and contributions made by close friends and can be verified? No 2 - "Obasanjo spent $16billion on darkness". Is Nigeria today entirely in darkness? Besides, people who were involved have come forward to show proof that this is inaccurate and obviously misinformation. The real sum is closer to $6billion of which Nigeria still enjoys the benefit of today. How much did Buhari spend? No 3 - The Obasanjo farm has been in existence since the 70s built from scratch. No 4 - How corrupt can an election be if no soldiers were deployed to intimidate/force voters to vote for a particular party like in 2019 and that of 2023 using thugs this time. No 5, 6, 7 - removed govs, committed genocide, removed judges, all of which also occurred under Buhari's govt during his reign. Mandate of governors to build libraries is impossible under the separation of powers in the constitution. The issue of true federalism is ongoing. Yes, Lagos LG allocations was not paid, but only to those additional 37 LGs that had not being recognised as LGs by the N.Assembly. Finally, tell me pls by what miracle of immense funds can LGs build electricity generating stations to generate their own electricity, when even State govts can't. Is it not because of the extremely high cost of doing so? 😀
When Obasanjo lashed out on Jonathan, Laolu and the like hailed him as good and patriotic. Now that he lashed out on Tinubu, Laolu is singing a different song.
Shameless APC somebody left Aso Rock over, 20 years, they are still given him fault, if he did wrong, can't they correct it they dragged Nigeria down and started pushing blames.
The guest hit the nail on the head when he said Obasanjo must take full responsibility for the Present State of the nation. This man served as a Military head of state an civilian president for eight good years. He cannot say that these periods in the history of the country has been the best the country ever had. If he had done what he was supposed to do about the electricity situation in Nigeria in the years he governed the country, darkness will be history in the country today. How can he forget this expectation Nigerians had for him? A leader should be ready to take full responsibility for any short comings or perceived problems, the former president has never admitted to be part of the problems that continue to exist in the country today. Rather he is known to have condemned the efforts made by all his predecessors up till today. Infact, he shut himself on his foot when he takes about bad leadership failure in Nigeria. No American took him serious about his comments because he had the opportunity to govern the country for eleven years as head of state and president. This is the longest time one man has ruled the country and yet thinks he he still relevant. Nigerians need to wake up, start moving away from the analogue leaders and their ideas about the present and future.
Mr Akande is right, his point about ObJ taken responsibility for all our problems today can't be easily ignored, but shall we continue in sin so grace shall abound? The answer is capital NO! T-Pain should've find ways to correct the errors of the past from ObJ down to Buhari, trying to continue from their past corrupt practices will collapse the entire system, Buhari 8 years in office was most terrible, destructive and chaotic, may such individual never happen to this country again, highly ignorant, incompetent, corrupt, religious and tribal bigot, Buhari was a disaster!
You are absolutely correct. An Elder,should not sit cross legs and fold his hands watching the Nation he said he fought for during the Civil war. Obasanjo knows all the Elite, cronics,Kabals of which he is Chief. Obasanjo and his cronics layed the foundation Nigeria and Politics of of Nigeria on sandy soil not on a solid concrete rocky that can withstand the adverse weather the Nation Nigeria was unable to wade through and stand strong sower to higher heights stand up among league of structured Nations.
We need to compared commodities price in Nigeria with rest of West Africa and Africa in general. What I discovered is that commodities are still cheaper in Nigeria than many African countries in dollar values.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not the causes of Nigeria problems not President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Nigeria is a failed Nation before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu 🎉
@Chamberlain The "Emilokan" statement was during the president visit to APC excos in Ogun state which were predomitantly attended by Yorubas. He didn't say that while visiting other states APC excos, so stop being chicky with that. The media should learn how to report events the way are, and not their own desire colouration which @Channelstv whom you represented have done.
I Bow for this man he is saying the Truth. Obasanjo causes all what's happening in Nigeria now. Obasanjo has nothing before he became president in 1999 but now he the most richest former president in Nigeria. Obasanjo spend Many Billion of Dollars for his Aborted Third Term. The most corruption president is former president Obasanjo. Thanks

Chamberlain and Maupe pretended to come from the cold side of hell to shy away from points made about the elections held during Obasanjo 's time for himself and the one that brought in Yaradua. They seemed to shy away from who Tinubu addressed the Emilokan to, they also seemed to be ignorant about the rudiments of Nigerians problem initiated during Obasanjo's era as mentioned by Akande. The moment I saw Chamberlain followed those who interviewed the FCT Minister of recent, I knew he is into stomach infrastructure. How I wished Obasanjo said; "we are in this together, let us rise to the occasion", it would have been a different ball game, but for the personal vendetta, selfishness (Obasanjo would not want to work with anyone who he cannot dictate to, and doesn't want anyone to be better than him). "You are not in position to say what you have said" was for him (Obasanjo) to check himself if he was not part of the problem.
I disagree with you no president comes into power that can save Nigeria. Nigeria as country expires 2014,according to the colonial master agreement that before, Igbos,Yorubas and Hausas can go their separate ways it should be after 100 years,that was the agreement,check back when was Boko Haram,Fulanis Herdsmen and other terrorist organisation emerged in the North, is after 100 years,they knows fully well Nigeria has expired and now their agendas is to Islamize Nigeria reasons all these Bandits happened. Mark my word before Tinubu tenures expired Nigeria will be divided, if not they will be Islamic war call jihad,and that will leads to tribal wars that will end the country called Nigeria. Let me gives you this for free,Nigeria is a pillars of all the countries and also Nigerians are the pillars to other countries citizens. Nigerians are recolonizing other citizens in other countries. We are the best at whatever field we found ourselves,reason some hates and some loves us world wide. Shalom
Pastor Laolu, if you could listen, you will improve on your thoughts. OBJ positioned Yaradua, and Tinubu positioned Buhari. This speaks volumes. I am surprised by your stance this morning; remember, you were part of Buhari's government.
You are simply validating his point. OBASANJO is part of the problem, and he must admit this. If every president is coming out to tell us solutions now that they have left, wouldn't that amount to unwarranted pontification to excuse themselves. He totally negates true federalism and refused to convey a sovereign national conference, which is very fundamental and foundational. He is only ashamed of what he was part of and exornorating himself unnecessarily.
I blame those people that invite obj to that program in the USA 🇺🇸. They know what their doing. Some people just like to enjoy seen obj and asiwaju keep fighting each other.
Pls, lets put all these behind us d question is how can we move forward. Let us be sincere Inec and its chairman has not done us any good. So, how can we move forward with d love if our country at heart... Nigeria is going down everyday, we feel it, we see it , we're in it.. its hurting, painful and it some how stinks.. Its so painful my beloved... We hv to come out of it... Not about OBJ nor about our president but its US ...Nigerians. God bless Nigeria.
Anytime you see anyone with this kind of hat on their head please don’t just bother to watch and waste your data coz na to dey blame,blame,blame anybody and anything blameable if not Jonathan na Buhari nor Peter Obi nor IBB. When he OBJ was blaming and attacking Jonathan he is a good statesman abi ? The problem with some of you guys is called “ Truth”
@@TheBronzeSagecan u give evidence of where Peter Obi stole money? This is a former governor who refused to take gratuity or pension as a former governor......he even left money for his predecessor Don't be delusional my friend
I commend the interviewers for posing the right questions. Firstly, it is a fallacy to say that we do not have good leaders because they are being chosen through a flawed process or from a moraly flawed society. Are we waiting for a perfect society before getting responsible leaders? So, why will we need a government if we are that perfect society? It is right that the former president ought to take part of the responsibility for the state of the nation. However, that responsibility to any keen observer is unique in the history of Nigeria and his own trajectory in power. He will realise it sooner or later if he has not already. I do not agree that he spoke out of vendetta for the current president. His fault in the local government issue was that he disobeyed the order of the court. Beyond that, he was on the side of the constitution in his stance on the creation of LGs by the then Lagos State government. Regarding corruption and development, the former president proved by his successes in his terms in power that the effects of corruption could be minimised so that it would not prevent development. His government has been the best since 1999 despite having to work with utterly corrupt politicians and people. In fact all a government needs in a situation like we have in Nigeria is to ensure that it's immediate constituency (governmemt) runs efficiently. It does not need to try to reform the morality of society by empty speeches and expensive programmes. It only needs to show example. President Obasnajo did exactly that as military head of state when he declared austerity. Cars above 2.0 cc were not allowed in Nigeria. The official car of the head of state was a Peugeot 504 which was assembled in Nigeria as part of a transfer of technology and self-sufficiency programme. It was the Shagari government that deatroyed the economy by introducing the same extravagant spending that characterised the politicians of the first Republic and was one of the excuses for the first military coup.
He seems to have forgotten that, obasanjo came in to put Nigeria back on a clean slate. He did that by, cancelling Nigeria's huge foreign debt, revived some state enterprises like NNSL, Aluminium smelter plant, brought GSM into Nigeria for the first time through transparent bidding process, Virgin Nigeria airlines, set up EFCC and ICPC, etc. Without his contribution to electricity, we all will be in acute darkness by now.
In this particular instance, it was Obasanjo himself that gave this speech and even though Tinubu cannot reply to him directly, he has sent his media lap dogs to response. Thats Fair. 1-1 . What is Laolu Akande point, what is his interest, who is his sponsor? Is his personal life better now compared to the years of Obasanjo???
Please 🙏🙏 i want you people to help me and ask our governors and lawmakers,why Nigeria don't want the Igbos to go, since they don't want to be Nigeria again,why is hard for Nigeria to let Igbos go, please 🙏🙏 help me to ask them this question
What is this government doing that they should not be taken out? We were better off with the pDP than APC APC has been in government for nine years, but we are worst off now. This government is arrogant. They don't take advice. This government is so selfish that they o ly care for themselves
But Laolu Akande also does not have moral stand to say anything on this matter because he was part of President Buahari's Government and never saw anything wrong with that Government.
He left Asorok 20yrs ago , brought Goodluck Jonathan but Nigerians chose Buhari . Is America blaming Obama today? 😂 What if he's nomore ? wouldn't Nigeria get better anymore? God have mercy!!
This Man Spoke Sensibly for the 1st Time. You have My Respect. I don't know if Channels can get the Rights from the Kuti's to Play Fela's Chop and Clean Mouth for the Younger Generation to know the Foundation of our Problems. In a Normal Society, Baba Obj Should be in Agodi Prison
@@Joseph-s3o3o lol. Even if I’m a small boy, Can you denounce the fact that OBJ government didn’t pay off Nigeria foreign debt of over $30b, didn’t initiated the construction of 11 IPP power projects, carried out series of economic reforms that ensured double digits growth, etc. Obj has his own flaws, just like every human being but to come on tv station and making such a noise confirm what we already know. Laolu was part of the Buhari government that buried Nigerian economy.
Don't mind that idiot joseph. Does he know what would have happened to Nigeria if obj didn't clear that debt. The money they are squandering today are savings from that era
Hi, My name is stevephen Odin from London and a Nigerian. Thanks to channel media and the anchor. I won't thank you journalists guest because he is talking shit in my view. Also, he was APC man to former useless vice president called professor. Thank you
Nigeria should deal with religion for this country to move forward, when you have a millions working class staying in churches doing vigil and prayers shift can never grow.
When we have common goals, we should I agree. Because OBJ do otherwise in the past, its doesn't mean we shouldn't agree now, if Obj support our fight for better country. Let's it be
Obj is the most or one of the most patriotic Nigerian alive today, take it or leave it. You don't judge a man by his/her yesterday. How do you know his patriotism, He never spared any president who doesn't make life better for the majority of Nigeria.
Mr Laolu, when you exaggerate to make a point, you inevitably tell your audience you're a liar. "A lot of the things we're sorting out today Obasanjo was part of the problem" absolutely untrue; key words - "a lot of the things".
It is only in Nigeria were old head of state like Obasanjo is still active in politics when he is suppose to be retired. He is one of the people who killed Biafrans for one Nigeria. We should ask him if the Nigeria i am seeing is the legacy he wants to live behind when he is no more. Shame
Perhaps this panel is playing the devils advocate, otherwise it is difficult to make sense of your argument against Laolu’s position that the Messenger is the issue on this matter.With all due respect , please consider that certain Messengers are more important than their messages. That’s certainly the case when former Rulers make comments on sticky problems that have remain unresolved over the years, such as the one former President Obasanjo spoke about. The serious question to such a Messenger is : Giving the golden opportunity you had, did you resolve the problems of corruption and weak structure, under which every thing else revolves. No reforms can stand for long without resolving these fundamentals. So long as we continue to kick the can down the road, none of our past leaders have any moral right to complain or criticize the condition of things in the country today . Rather they should remain sober in lamentation of a lifetime opportunity wasted because they are part of the problem.
Oga you just need political appointment. You are speaking like a Jo less man. Did Obasanjo not speak against other president after himself. Just keep quiet and be ashame of yourself
Laolu served under one of the worst regime in the history of Nigeria. Consequently, when people like him without conscience and dignity are attacking our revered OBJ, we can only pity him.
You are either myopic or ignorant for spewing this epithet against Obasanjo, yes & very unfortunate that he had some skeletons in his closet, however, he is the best among them all since 1999.
I have always said that he more than anyone else had the opportunity to position the country in a better place and I said he should stop all his talking and letters. Even now he could have stopped Thieftinubu from rigging the election. He is not unaware of the hidden workings that are against the country.
Obasanjo was president of Nigeria 3 times. If you are a student and you failed a subject (course)3 times. That student is a failure. So, Obasanjo, even though you are right but it is not enough for you to criticise Tinubu regime on television or on radio alone. What you should do, if you are really honest about your criticism of Tinubu's regime, please be bold, LEAD A PROTEST spearhead a revolution.
Everything should be taken away from him ....Did he give over power voluntatarily ? Please we should discuss something more productive, than grandstanding a man that is seeking relevance where he left none .
How can an old man like this be talking about 20year ago. When the blame should on the man at the helm of affairs. Instead of looking on aways to better the Nation. He is here doing i blame game of 20years ago.
Yes obj was a failure . He could have done better. If he had laid a good foundation someone like Tinubu would be hiding now. Despite all these obj is Miles better than Tinubu
Obasanjo has a vendetta against Tinubu...and that point is more important than focusing on the failure of the present government? Obasanjo's apology is more important than Tinubu's failures? This guy is the one that has a vendetta against Obasanjo. Dude is clearly a closet Tinubu apologist pretending to be a moralist. Obasanjo was corrupt and incompetent and if he doesn't own up, Tinubu should keep on failing? So he's afraid Tinubu will be taken out of the villa? Tinubu should remain in the villa in order to punish Obasanjo? I don't even know what this guy is saying. Sad mind.
Is obasanjo to decide our budget, assume he is dead by now,will you go to graveyard to bring him for questioning,,let Tinubu do that his magic in Lagos as he campaigned,
What is this woman talking about ? Please lady , dabble into areas you can handle . You are too young to arrange the history of this country , where and when you dont know . OBASAMJO knows WHO he is . Period .
The speaker is hypocritical in his comments he is not answering the questions Obasanjo is 200 times better than Tinubu in governance tye economy was better there was no nepotism during his tenure Tinubu brought so much wickedness and evil hatred and bigotry in Nigeria
What’s this one saying. Focus on the message. These are the issues. So you Prof Laolu has the moral standing? When you lambast the current administration? Because your principal was skimmed out of the race for APC In 2023? Abeg let’s stick to the issues not covering with personal issues.
Mr. Man, you're talking nonsense! You're not honest. Unfortunately, Nigeria 🇳🇬 as country, will continue to face these upheals until justice is done. The Holy Book says: "Righteousness/justice builds up a NATION, SIN is a disgrace. Nigeria as a country is facing a karma of injustice. Examine well what's going on; all the tribalism, bigotry, exclucionism and marginalisation of one ethnic group. And you think Nigeria 🇳🇬 is going to be well? Nigeria will have to look inward. It's time to do the needful. Have you asked yourself this question? Are the people in Nigeria, really citizens? A country that is so divided., a country that's still based on indigenized ideology, a country that still believes that everyone is different from everyone, can't stand.
Obasanjo is d best president we ever had,obasanjo created efcc,icpc, obasanjo jail a lot of criminal of government in prison,if this government has done what is right obasanjo wil not have mouth to condem ur government ,since u collected power from Jonathan Nigeria has been face wrong direction,if obasanjo didn't do well then y are u there,I don't u people can do anything mini full this is ur 9 ad half years this same story.
I honestly don't know what's wrong with us Nigerians. No wonder we can never move forward bcos we are always quick to support mediocrity, lack of knowledge, and bad governance. How could a sane man like this ass be here talking ill of a person that left office 20yrs ago? What did Tinubu tell us before he became the selected president. He said he would come to repair what the previous govt which he has been a part of. But unfortunately, we are going backward. Not until we start holding public officers accountable we can not move forward. If Obasanjo should keep quiet who is going to speak? U oga, are you speaking for the little man on the street? What Obasanjo said is nothing short of what is going on in the country.
Olaolu...u r talking rubbish...talk about the state of the nation as said by OBJ...do u want to compare OBJ govt to this rubbish govt we currently have ...talk about the state of the nation...
The question is,is obasanjo saying the truth,yes and it doesn't make the government after him to continue to make the same or worse mistakes.Far as l am concerned, Obasanjo is the most successful of all the heads of state since 1999. If Achebe didn't accept national honor, it's not because of Obasanjo and by the way he's talking about the present government.During his leadership nobody went hungry.please address the issues straight except you're one of them benefiting from the painful system.
Yaradua should have done the needful, When you know that the election that brought you to power was floored and irregular, and you still accept the result instead of cancelling the election and conduct another fresh perfect election. So, there's no different between Yaradua and others
Mr. Laolu, I must say that you have a very untrue and false statement, when in power u have the ability to undo the wrongs on previous administration, did u see trump complain about Obama when making Tax cuts, just defend your yoruba principal without indicting anyone
I love this speaker with passion, he speaks nothing but the whole truth
Mr LAOLU AKANDE Thanks for speaking the minds of many Nigerians who are not privilege to speak on Obasanjo as one the Nigeria problem, and now pretending that others president that comes after him is the problems of Nigerian.
Let Nigerians hold Obasanjo responsible for the problems of Nigeria.
He stop Pa Awolowo from becoming Nigeria president and gave it to Shagari,even his ruling as soldiers in his days.
All that president after him follows his footsteps.
Thank God he is alive to see his leadership foundation which never build Nigeria but destroyed Nigeria,the suffering of Nigerians today is as result of Obasanjo bad governance foundation.
Nigerians should asked him how many poor Nigerians that died in his farm,which he singularly executed because they still either eggs or chickens.
He has a blood of innocent Nigerians in his hand,the facts that those family involved keep silent God is not silent, God purposely keep him alive to see the evil leadership foundation he laid for Nigerians.
God will keep blessing you for saying the truth about Obasanjo.
Thanks for your platform

Mark my word before Tinubu tenures expired Nigeria will be divided, if not they will be Islamic war call jihad,and that will leads to tribal wars that will end the country called Nigeria.
Let me gives you this for free,Nigeria is a pillars of all the countries and also Nigerians are the pillars to other countries citizens.
Nigerians are recolonizing other citizens in other countries.
We are the best at whatever field we found ourselves,reason some hates and some loves us world wide.
Shalom
I'm very pleased with your analysis!!
It is true, this man is saying
Pastor Laolu, if you could listen, you will improve on your thoughts. OBJ positioned Yaradua, and Tinubu positioned Buhari. This speaks volumes. I am surprised by your stance this morning; remember, you were part of Buhari's government.
The man has lost it, completely lost it. Maybe he doesn't want to be cancelled by T-pains administration. He is very, very afraid right now..😅😂😅
You are simply validating his point. OBASANJO is part of the problem, and he must admit this. If every president is coming out to tell us solutions now that they have left, wouldn't that amount to unwarranted pontification to excuse themselves. He totally negates true federalism and refused to convey a sovereign national conference, which is very fundamental and foundational. He is only ashamed of what he was part of and exornorating himself unnecessarily.
Mr Olaolu you are speaking sense keep it up
I totally disagree with this man. I'm not just surprise, I'm highly disappointed given the level of your education and exposure.
I blame those people that invite obj to that program in the USA 🇺🇸.
They know what their doing.
Some people just like to enjoy seen obj and asiwaju keep fighting each other.
Exactly. They are Biafraud guys
Pls, lets put all these behind us d question is how can we move forward.
Let us be sincere Inec and its chairman has not done us any good.
So, how can we move forward with d love if our country at heart...
Nigeria is going down everyday, we feel it, we see it , we're in it.. its hurting, painful and it some how stinks..
Its so painful my beloved...
We hv to come out of it...
Not about OBJ nor about our president but its US ...Nigerians.
God bless Nigeria.
Anytime you see anyone with this kind of hat on their head please don’t just bother to watch and waste your data coz na to dey blame,blame,blame anybody and anything blameable if not Jonathan na Buhari nor Peter Obi nor IBB.
When he OBJ was blaming and attacking Jonathan he is a good statesman abi ? The problem with some of you guys is called “ Truth”
A Yoruba man is here criticising the record of a Yoruba man, will you people ever do same, Obi that was stealing money is now your messiah.
@@TheBronzeSagecan u give evidence of where Peter Obi stole money? This is a former governor who refused to take gratuity or pension as a former governor......he even left money for his predecessor
Don't be delusional my friend
16 YEARS OF PDPYOU FORGET
I commend the interviewers for posing the right questions. Firstly, it is a fallacy to say that we do not have good leaders because they are being chosen through a flawed process or from a moraly flawed society. Are we waiting for a perfect society before getting responsible leaders? So, why will we need a government if we are that perfect society?
It is right that the former president ought to take part of the responsibility for the state of the nation. However, that responsibility to any keen observer is unique in the history of Nigeria and his own trajectory in power. He will realise it sooner or later if he has not already.
I do not agree that he spoke out of vendetta for the current president. His fault in the local government issue was that he disobeyed the order of the court. Beyond that, he was on the side of the constitution in his stance on the creation of LGs by the then Lagos State government.
Regarding corruption and development, the former president proved by his successes in his terms in power that the effects of corruption could be minimised so that it would not prevent development. His government has been the best since 1999 despite having to work with utterly corrupt politicians and people. In fact all a government needs in a situation like we have in Nigeria is to ensure that it's immediate constituency (governmemt) runs efficiently. It does not need to try to reform the morality of society by empty speeches and expensive programmes. It only needs to show example.
President Obasnajo did exactly that as military head of state when he declared austerity. Cars above 2.0 cc were not allowed in Nigeria. The official car of the head of state was a Peugeot 504 which was assembled in Nigeria as part of a transfer of technology and self-sufficiency programme. It was the Shagari government that deatroyed the economy by introducing the same extravagant spending that characterised the politicians of the first Republic and was one of the excuses for the first military coup.
Just shouting & defending nonsense. Obasanjo gave Nigeria the best life ever despite everything.
He seems to have forgotten that, obasanjo came in to put Nigeria back on a clean slate. He did that by, cancelling Nigeria's huge foreign debt, revived some state enterprises like NNSL, Aluminium smelter plant, brought GSM into Nigeria for the first time through transparent bidding process, Virgin Nigeria airlines, set up EFCC and ICPC, etc. Without his contribution to electricity, we all will be in acute darkness by now.
How old are you?
@@mideojo6956 How old are you Gen Z? 😂😂😂🤭
Sunrise please your program comes too earlyin the day to be bringing the likes of LAOLU to spoil the day for us. Please allow him to go.
In this particular instance, it was Obasanjo himself that gave this speech and even though Tinubu cannot reply to him directly, he has sent his media lap dogs to response. Thats Fair. 1-1 . What is Laolu Akande point, what is his interest, who is his sponsor? Is his personal life better now compared to the years of Obasanjo???
Tinubu not yet finished governing Nigeria, he has two terms. So, by end of 8 years we can make comparism.
OBJ privatize of all the National Asset
Please 🙏🙏 i want you people to help me and ask our governors and lawmakers,why Nigeria don't want the Igbos to go, since they don't want to be Nigeria again,why is hard for Nigeria to let Igbos go, please 🙏🙏 help me to ask them this question
Thanks
What is this government doing that they should not be taken out? We were better off with the pDP than APC APC has been in government for nine years, but we are worst off now. This government is arrogant. They don't take advice. This government is so selfish that they o ly care for themselves
Mr Laolu is spot on with his assessment of what Obasanjo administration did and what he is trying to do in discrediting Tinubu's Presidency
But Laolu Akande also does not have moral stand to say anything on this matter because he was part of President Buahari's Government and never saw anything wrong with that Government.
Thank you. You spoke well , the truth.
Obasanjo has his flaws but you can’t compare him to TPain. TPain has achieved nothing but inflict incredible pain and suffering on Nigerians
He left Asorok 20yrs ago , brought Goodluck Jonathan but Nigerians chose Buhari . Is America blaming Obama today? 😂
What if he's nomore ? wouldn't Nigeria get better anymore? God have mercy!!
This Man Spoke Sensibly for the 1st Time. You have My Respect. I don't know if Channels can get the Rights from the Kuti's to Play Fela's Chop and Clean Mouth for the Younger Generation to know the Foundation of our Problems. In a Normal Society, Baba Obj Should be in Agodi Prison
Correct obasanjo who take responsibility 💯
I love your objective analysis Mr. Laolu Akande
Restructuring...only solution. Akande is sincere. Guys listen to Laolu he's closer to the working of the 23:25 Government. Period
I can never judge Tinubu government at this early stage.
Nonsense, by the scents of a dish one can conclude the taste of the dish.
Shameless set of people. Obasanjo is far beter than the evil we have today
Laolu is a big disgrace. Instead of him to criticize the message but spent the whole time to criticize the messenger.
Sharap, probably U were a small boy during Obasanjo era
If not anything obasanjo paid all Nigerias dept pleas go and check what buhari and thiefubu did to this country @@Joseph-s3o3o
@@Joseph-s3o3o lol. Even if I’m a small boy, Can you denounce the fact that OBJ government didn’t pay off Nigeria foreign debt of over $30b, didn’t initiated the construction of 11 IPP power projects, carried out series of economic reforms that ensured double digits growth, etc.
Obj has his own flaws, just like every human being but to come on tv station and making such a noise confirm what we already know. Laolu was part of the Buhari government that buried Nigerian economy.
Don't mind that idiot joseph. Does he know what would have happened to Nigeria if obj didn't clear that debt. The money they are squandering today are savings from that era
Hi,
My name is stevephen Odin from London and a Nigerian.
Thanks to channel media and the anchor.
I won't thank you journalists guest because he is talking shit in my view.
Also, he was APC man to former useless vice president called professor.
Thank you
Nigeria should deal with religion for this country to move forward, when you have a millions working class staying in churches doing vigil and prayers shift can never grow.
When we have common goals, we should I agree. Because OBJ do otherwise in the past, its doesn't mean we shouldn't agree now, if Obj support our fight for better country. Let's it be
To deal with poverty in Nigeria is not a magic job, it requires periods of time to accomplish.
it not rocket science, we just need sincere investment in productivity, starting from agro.
Obasanjo should take responsibility for today's problem? Is Obasanjo in Aso Rock presently? Is that not a blame game? Balablu
Real talk !!! Obj got no morals.
Obj is the most or one of the most patriotic Nigerian alive today, take it or leave it. You don't judge a man by his/her yesterday. How do you know his patriotism, He never spared any president who doesn't make life better for the majority of Nigeria.
Does he make life better during his 3 terms ?
Those who invited obasanjo know what they are doing he is doing the bidding of those who invited him
Mr Laolu, when you exaggerate to make a point, you inevitably tell your audience you're a liar. "A lot of the things we're sorting out today Obasanjo was part of the problem" absolutely untrue; key words - "a lot of the things".
Is this man someone father?
Simple comprehension.
Who is laolu Akande....?
It is only in Nigeria were old head of state like Obasanjo is still active in politics when he is suppose to be retired. He is one of the people who killed Biafrans for one Nigeria. We should ask him if the Nigeria i am seeing is the legacy he wants to live behind when he is no more. Shame
Perhaps this panel is playing the devils advocate, otherwise it is difficult to make sense of your argument against Laolu’s position that the Messenger is the issue on this matter.With all due respect , please consider that certain Messengers are more important than their messages. That’s certainly the case when former Rulers make comments on sticky problems that have remain unresolved over the years, such as the one former President Obasanjo spoke about. The serious question to such a Messenger is : Giving the golden opportunity you had, did you resolve the problems of corruption and weak structure, under which every thing else revolves. No reforms can stand for long without resolving these fundamentals. So long as we continue to kick the can down the road, none of our past leaders have any moral right to complain or criticize the condition of things in the country today . Rather they should remain sober in lamentation of a lifetime opportunity wasted because they are part of the problem.
I expect your panel and others to be more stringent with such critics because that’s really why things don’t work, a situation they took advantage of.
The restoration of Biafra will change everything because the man who defend jagaban is also enemy to good life
Has APC government certified the 37 LCDA in Lagos since inception? Your principal sold Lagos to himself. Now he is buying over Nigeria. They play…
So bcos obj failed according to you, he should not talk wen we have mad ppl everywhere.
This analyst fall my hand no be small
Oga you just need political appointment. You are speaking like a Jo less man.
Did Obasanjo not speak against other president after himself.
Just keep quiet and be ashame of yourself
Laolu served under one of the worst regime in the history of Nigeria. Consequently, when people like him without conscience and dignity are attacking our revered OBJ, we can only pity him.
Obasanjo remain d most corrupt man in Nigeria as at today,
You are either myopic or ignorant for spewing this epithet against Obasanjo, yes & very unfortunate that he had some skeletons in his closet, however, he is the best among them all since 1999.
The guest is very myopic
I have always said that he more than anyone else had the opportunity to position the country in a better place and I said he should stop all his talking and letters. Even now he could have stopped Thieftinubu from rigging the election. He is not unaware of the hidden workings that are against the country.
Laolu used to do the same thing BAT spoke persons are doing, because it is a dirty job they are paid to do
Obasanjo was president of Nigeria 3 times.
If you are a student and you failed a subject (course)3 times. That student is a failure. So, Obasanjo, even though you are right but it is not enough for you to criticise Tinubu regime on television or on radio alone.
What you should do, if you are really honest about your criticism of Tinubu's regime, please be bold, LEAD A PROTEST spearhead a revolution.
Everything should be taken away from him ....Did he give over power voluntatarily ? Please we should discuss something more productive, than grandstanding a man that is seeking relevance where he left none .
Laolu Akande a pastor in the redeem. OK o
Laolu we are laughing at you. You have forgotten that you used to lie unbehalf of the govt before , when you were govt spoke liar? A beg!
How can an old man like this be talking about 20year ago. When the blame should on the man at the helm of affairs. Instead of looking on aways to better the Nation. He is here doing i blame game of 20years ago.
Is that why he is raiding the whole country with the same malpractice?
Yes obj was a failure . He could have done better. If he had laid a good foundation someone like Tinubu would be hiding now. Despite all these obj is Miles better than Tinubu
you admitted the tpain failings and u can't still leave obj offsleave
Obasanjo has a vendetta against Tinubu...and that point is more important than focusing on the failure of the present government? Obasanjo's apology is more important than Tinubu's failures? This guy is the one that has a vendetta against Obasanjo. Dude is clearly a closet Tinubu apologist pretending to be a moralist. Obasanjo was corrupt and incompetent and if he doesn't own up, Tinubu should keep on failing? So he's afraid Tinubu will be taken out of the villa? Tinubu should remain in the villa in order to punish Obasanjo? I don't even know what this guy is saying. Sad mind.
Is obasanjo to decide our budget, assume he is dead by now,will you go to graveyard to bring him for questioning,,let Tinubu do that his magic in Lagos as he campaigned,
What is this woman talking about ? Please lady , dabble into areas you can handle . You are too young to arrange the history of this country , where and when you dont know .
OBASAMJO knows WHO he is . Period .
The speaker is hypocritical in his comments he is not answering the questions Obasanjo is 200 times better than Tinubu in governance tye economy was better there was no nepotism during his tenure Tinubu brought so much wickedness and evil hatred and bigotry in Nigeria
Laolu a beg! Are you the next BAT spoke person?
What’s this one saying. Focus on the message. These are the issues. So you Prof Laolu has the moral standing? When you lambast the current administration? Because your principal was skimmed out of the race for APC In 2023? Abeg let’s stick to the issues not covering with personal issues.
Is no longer jonathsn
Mr. Man, you're talking nonsense!
You're not honest.
Unfortunately, Nigeria 🇳🇬 as country, will continue to face these upheals until justice is done. The Holy Book says: "Righteousness/justice builds up a NATION, SIN is a disgrace. Nigeria as a country is facing a karma of injustice. Examine well what's going on; all the tribalism, bigotry, exclucionism and marginalisation of one ethnic group. And you think Nigeria 🇳🇬 is going to be well? Nigeria will have to look inward.
It's time to do the needful. Have you asked yourself this question? Are the people in Nigeria, really citizens? A country that is so divided., a country that's still based on indigenized ideology, a country that still believes that everyone is different from everyone, can't stand.
Obasanjo is d best president we ever had,obasanjo created efcc,icpc, obasanjo jail a lot of criminal of government in prison,if this government has done what is right obasanjo wil not have mouth to condem ur government ,since u collected power from Jonathan Nigeria has been face wrong direction,if obasanjo didn't do well then y are u there,I don't u people can do anything mini full this is ur 9 ad half years this same story.
I honestly don't know what's wrong with us Nigerians. No wonder we can never move forward bcos we are always quick to support mediocrity, lack of knowledge, and bad governance. How could a sane man like this ass be here talking ill of a person that left office 20yrs ago? What did Tinubu tell us before he became the selected president. He said he would come to repair what the previous govt which he has been a part of. But unfortunately, we are going backward. Not until we start holding public officers accountable we can not move forward. If Obasanjo should keep quiet who is going to speak? U oga, are you speaking for the little man on the street? What Obasanjo said is nothing short of what is going on in the country.
All Nigerian leaders are not saints
Laolu is looking for a job from thiefnubu.
The speaker is a typical Yoruba man
Was 2023 elections in part under your principal Osibanjo any better ? Abeg park well
Olaolu...u r talking rubbish...talk about the state of the nation as said by OBJ...do u want to compare OBJ govt to this rubbish govt we currently have ...talk about the state of the nation...
Laolu is a disappointment.
Defending nonsense.
This man is not saying the truth
misused
The question is,is obasanjo saying the truth,yes and it doesn't make the government after him to continue to make the same or worse mistakes.Far as l am concerned, Obasanjo is the most successful of all the heads of state since 1999.
If Achebe didn't accept national honor, it's not because of Obasanjo and by the way he's talking about the present government.During his leadership nobody went hungry.please address the issues straight except you're one of them benefiting from the painful system.
Yaradua should have done the needful,
When you know that the election that brought you to power was floored and irregular, and you still accept the result instead of cancelling the election and conduct another fresh perfect election.
So, there's no different between Yaradua and others
There is different bro, one came damage inec, damage the judiciary, convert national asset to personal asset.
Mr. Laolu, I must say that you have a very untrue and false statement, when in power u have the ability to undo the wrongs on previous administration, did u see trump complain about Obama when making Tax cuts, just defend your yoruba principal without indicting anyone
What a stupid comment about Obasanjo by so called Laolu.
The speaker is not being objective.
