I think we should forget about OBJ but itz not really easy. Each time I think about living without power I feel like personally handling the man.
It hurts, especially when you know that these past leaders had the resources to make it right with Nigeria but they just refused to do it.
I guess itz because they don't feel they pain like the masses do.
I mean how can they when Aso Villa is a Haven.

Hate to be pessimistic, but nothing will happen to OBJ. Yardy owes his position now to OBJ and though OBJ is no longer in power, his influence stretches to and past the corridors of power...so regardless of whatever Yardy decides to spout every now and then, that is not going to change.

Missed you oh, it was exams sha that kept us away, howz the lil one?

2008-05-25T04:51:00.000-04:00

At some point, we'll have to forget about OBJ, look forward and hold Yardy responsible. Yardy should be thinking of his legacy.

I agree with Naapali - he's said it all. Yardy's hypocrisy is what it is - A done deal... Sad.

2008-05-24T04:08:00.000-04:00

shei, i don tire for this yard-head and naija govt in general...abeg, he should just fix the power, health, education, infrastructural, etc. issues...or at least put things in place so they can be fixed...i have no expectations for him other than for him to make his regular health trips to germany...oh and to be silent on important issues for overly long periods of time...

...as for obj...the guy first ruled naija under military rule...what was to be expected of him?...he then wanted to run for a third term...they say karma is a bitch when you are naughty...eh hehn now....

Have to agree with you and Naapali on this one, he can't bite the hand that fed him the presidency. But i'm also grudgingly with Naapali on this one - i don't thing OBJ won't see the inside of a cell, and as for a tarnished reputation, i doubt that many Nigerians thought that highly of him in the first place.

I owe you a call this weekend.

@ Nneoma: Yes, indeed, you never bite the hand that feeds you unless biting said hand will ensure survival, if you ask me. lol! Yardy wants to go down as a serious president, which is why 'rule of law' is his mantra and he sticks to it. As such, he MUST separate himself from OBJ who as a serious reputation in Nigeria for ignoring the law. Anyway, or it could simply be that Yardy really has no desire to investigate the previous admin.

I think Naapali put it best, the thought of a witch hunt after Yardy leaves office is unpleasant enough to prevent his administration from even giving the appearance of such.

@ rethots: I would never suggest that Baba was not smart. However, the various missteps he has made politically, plus various scandals emanating from his house (i.e. adultery scandals, Iyabo-gate, the PEF scandal involving his son in law) allow myself and others to question his ethics and political savvines. Power is the most corruptive influence. Even the best people fall prey to it eventually.
Thanks for stopping by! long time no see!

...but, have we thot about it from the 3rd side (of the coin)?

That Yardy would only probe if he's sure of concrete evidences to nail Obj. I think we don't give Obj enough credit for his smartness. He sure is....if not, there would have been quite a few loop holes that could have made probing much easier.

Think thee not?

2008-05-23T02:03:00.000-04:00

I expect nothing will happen to OBJ. Primarily because he knows where the bodies are buried and many of those who would probe him owe their current status to him. A secondary reason stems from the Yoruba proverb about "kpashan ti a fi na iyale, ni ama fi na iyawo". To probe and discredit OBJ now means Yardie and his current entourage can expect the same when they leave office. I doubt this group is more endowed with integrity and honesty than the last cohort.

There will be a lot of heat and no light in the current probes.

2008-05-23T02:00:00.000-04:00

When you said that Yar'adua owes his position to OBJ, I believe you are spot on. Yardy is holding to the principles that you never bite the hands that fed you so those anti-OBJ elemetns who are clamoring, off with his head will have to wait until the next administration.
