How often do you hear or read an article and find the phrases of the writer or speaker quite smashing,sometimes shocking and eloquently with an exclamation point? Some quotes can be very meaningful, reflecting the speakers true grit of intellectual know how and some latently and wantonly are meant to hurt like our infamous Obasanjo. We have come to liken him as a President with short circuit intelligence and unclassy attitude towards a common Nigerian. If you know of any quote from your hero, mentor or foe; however common the person, we would like to read it. Here is mine.

"Igbos go to hell" On the margilization of the Igbos[2000]

"Shut Up woman" [2002] Obasajo on a woman who has just lost her child as result of neglect by the Army

"If any Nigerian has evidence of looting by IBB I say come forward" [2001]: OBASNAJO implying that IBB is untouchable.

"Nice and friendly as they are, the Yorubas have no sense of fraternity with other ethnic group in Nigeria when it comes to federal appointment"
Professor Nwabueze [Sec Gen of Ohaneze] reacting to Obasanjo federal appointment as pure ethnic 2002

People:

“First Lady”

They call her “First Lady”. Then when you realise she is the fourth or is it fifth wife of the man, you then wonder – how come she is called “the First Lady”, that is when it gets home to you she is from the Federal Republic of nigeria.

Then it makes sense, only in nigeria, will a fifth wife, be called a “First Lady”. Ynk! Ynk!!

" As far I am concerned the poltiical crisis is over" Obasanjo on the state of the nation referring to the impeachement against him yet the House has not signalled any attempt to drop the impeachement.

"The impeachement against me is a joke" Obasanjo on the state of the nation referring to the House as bunch of clawns with no clout. The next day, the Senate angered by his statement backed the House to impeach Obasanjo.

If you examine the above statement by this man, it tells you volumes about his intelligence and lack of profesional conduct. He thinks impeachement is a soldiers' story. It is about checks and balances[law of the land]not from the barrel of the gun. I would have hoped he consulted God before the state of the nation address. It is not over until the MPs say so, stupid.

Waypoint:

This one is a sarcastic ‘Nas-ism,’
quote:
The Igbos must show appreciation, at least for the number of their sons in military command positions and in the National Security Council. They should also show appreciation that while supporters of MASSOB are being chased all over the place, for re-demanding for Biafra, the poor chaps of OPC, who have been demanding for an Oduduwa Republic, have been having sound sleep. No one dares touch them. Again, for the murder of one priest, the Bakassi boys are being rounded up while OPC leaders, whose followers murdered about 600 “Northern Jews”, in Lagos, recently, are being, set free. Can Kalu say that these are not achievements? Discrimination is certainly a great achievement and we all know that Mr. President has been recording high score here. Nobody can deny this. --- Wada Nas, in Why Obasanjo Must be Given a Second Term.

And you wonder with all his educational accomplishment.. He should know that in 101 Political science class, 21 million people do not impeach a President the law makers do.

"South/South poverty unfair, the producers of the the nations' wealth to languish in penury while the resources from their area are used to develop other parts of the country"

The President of Nigeria while being accorded a visit from a delegation of South/South. This statements ought to hurt more and make you wana puke. Since when did he care for their well being?. The same President who went to the highest court of the land to snatch the food out of their mouth. Dumb politics, I must say.

Tijani,
Did you the get the substance of what Waypoint1 was saying or you are simply doing your job as a paid agent. be sure that Aremu will be battered beyound recorginition before the whole thing is over. first, he is been isolated by the world leaders, next, he will soon be confined to ota, finaly, he will be brought before the court of justice to answer for his atrocities and genocide.

"The Constitution was not delibrately violated" Nigerian President responding to allegation he violated the constitution.

Well, Mr President your dead wrong, if that is the best defense you can come up with. You do not have to prove lack of delibration, profit or intent as a defense to violate the constitution. The proximate cause of most violations of the constitution that result to impeachment is not following the due process. Interpretation of the law - the due process = Impeachment. Intent is not required. Where is your Attorney General?

"Nigeria won't chicken out of war" Jerry Gana, Information Minister responding to Nigerias' readiness/superiority to defend Bakassi penisular.

Tonya Alaba Graham Douglas one of the southern presidentail pawns accused of signing a pack with the North on responding to the accusation

" I signed the pact for the best interest of Nigeria" ......." "I am a northerner"

Obasanjo previously in 2001 denied there was no "pact' with the North as testified by Sunny Okoqwu. In 2002, Obasanjo claimed there was a " Pact" but denied a part of it.

" I did not sign any document"
