quote:. According to him, the PDP government had from day one in 1999, recognised that the only way to fight poverty was through education.
Education ke! Did he mean educating the leaders, or educating the suffering masses.
quote:"Any family with such a problem," said Obasanjo, can be regarded as belonging to the class of abject poverty. I do not say that they are not in the existence in the country but they are not in large numbers like our detractors would make us believe".
How will he know when he has been busy junketing all over the globe.

Obasanjo talking about Education is like Osama Bin Laden or Omo Omoruyi talking about Democracy.
Sadly his fellow Yoruba are still living in denial. Can you believe that Obafemi Awolowo University in Ife has been shut for the past 12 calendar months. As I write, they have three sets of "graduates" waiting for NYSC placement and this is after FOUR years of Olusegun Aremu obasanjo's leadership.

You guys ain't seen nothing, wait till the fruits of democracy truly ripen. Unfortunately for Aremu poverty is like some form of leprosy that cannot be hidden, he may tell lies but the truth stares back at him. If this is the best the Yoruba can put forth then God bless Abacha.

To compare Abacha with Obasanjo is to be quite unfair to Abacha, at least Abacha proved to the whole world that his was an authoritarian goverment, he never pretended about human right, he made it clear that he wanted to be the maximun ruler as long as he live, yet he gave Nigerians the oportunity to make their living and was serious of moving the economy forward. Obasanjo is just everything of evil, calling the name of GOD while unleashing terror on the citizen. Obasanjo's name is deception, another lucifer who can never be better than anybody.

If you cannot respect the man Obasanjo, then respect the fact that he is the current president of Nigeria i.e respect the Office that he holds. Wait till he is out of that office to label him whatever you feel like. And while you are on that pulse state, sir, can you tell us why you disrespect the man and use such vail words to discrible him? Thank you Sir.
