Many still do not believe that there are some fake prophets in this present generation.AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE is not making a conclusion,rather,bringing an hour video clip with a confession of former prophet and prophetess of T.B JOSHUA.
It is a video everyone should take time to watch,listen carefully and allow his or her mind to judge the allegations laid on T.B JOSHUA.
AFRKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE is bringing you a live video of the confession,enjoy and watch it below..
Having watched the video,what else can one say?This confession should be seen as a lesson to everyone,it should serve as an example to other men of God that are using false power. How will a woman leave her husband's house and be attached to a Prophet for several months,when it is clearly written "what God has joined together let no man put asunder".Women be wise,you people can easily be brain washed,and men be sharp in handling your wives.

It seems to me that Goodluck Jonathan has not seen the hand writing on the wall.His P.A's and other members of his cabinet seems to be sleeping.
The earlier Goodluck and Nigerians realize that "BOKO HARAM ARE TERRORISTS" the better for us.They have made it clear that they are terrorists,that they want to turn Nigeria to AL-QAEDA.
If Goodluck and Nigerians are aware of this fact that boko haram are terrorists,why can't state of emergency against Boko haram be declared?
What do we have military for?What do we have forces for? and what do we have leaders for?
Goodluck Jonathan seems to be very slow like a moving snail in the Harmattan weather.I think doctors should shock him with electric to wake up from his slumber,he should be injected with adrenalin,and he should be given Cameroonian pepper to eat.
He needs to be agile,he needs to be radical now and don't allow his enemies to overthrow his country.
MY ADVICE TO MR.PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN.
Mr.President,please deal with boko haram as a terrorist in your country,not as an ISLAMIC SECT.Boko Haram has made it clear to you that they are terrorists in your country.So,you need to fight hard,bombing to bombing,battle to battle,gun to gun and power to power.
Also,Mr.President,do not forget terrorists never want a peaceful society.Stop wasting your precious time arranging meetings for "peace talk",it will never work out.
Furthermore,let Islamic leaders know that you are dealing with terrorist "BOKO HARAM" not with Islam as a religion.
Finally,Mr.President,to make things easier for you,separate BOKO HARAM’s issues from ISLAMIC issues.They are not together,they are different people.If you do that, things will be more easier for you to handle.You only confuse yourself more when you believe that boko haram are fighting for Islam,no no no no no,they are only using Islamic logo,but thank God you can see they are terrorists in your country.
Finally,finally,Mr.President if your advisers are scared of telling you what to do to help Nigerians,because they are swimming in millions of naira,please you can hire me for free to come and do that for you.
THIS WRITE UP HAS TO DO WITH FACTS,REALITY AND TRUTH ABOUT MY PERSONAL VIEWS OF BOKO HARAM.
Fellow Nigerians,i have decided to present this short write-up to be read by all.It's a write-up of personal views about the issues of BOKO HARAM.As we all know Nigeria is heading towards doom,people are mourning,people are weeping and losing hope.Here in this write-up am trying to enlighten the Muslims and Christians about some issues of BOKO HARAM,where they belong.
I was born and brought up in a typical Muslim town called "AUCHI",a little and lively town in Edo state.At my tender age i had the opportunity of mixing up with Muslim friends.While my friends go to "JUMAT" on Fridays,i go to "CHURCH" on Sundays.We do things in common,we were nice to each other.Most of them even thought i was a Muslim because of how my name sounded "Casmir".
While i grew up in that little town i got the chance of studying the Holy Quran to an extent,which has given me little knowledge of the teachings of ISLAM.I actually enjoyed their prayers,just like ours in Catholic church,but with little differences like the "TASBIH" is to the "HOLY ROSARY".
Well,with my little understandings in the HOLY QURAN,i have never seen or come across any place where it is written that "WESTERN EDUCATION IS SINFUL".Men have sat in the dark to design what Prophet Mohammed never said.We recall that in the Holy Quran,PROPHET MOHAMMED supported western Education.
According to PROPHET MOHAMMED,Allah says,‘Seek Knowledge unto China,even if China was at the end of the world’.This quotation rightly explains that WESTERN EDUCATION IS NOT A SIN for Muslims or Christians"
Also,the Prophet (S.A.W.), says: “Acquire knowledge even if it be in China”.(Biharul Anwar, vol. 1, p.57).
Further more,Imam Sajjad, (A.S.), says: “If people had known the advantages of acquiring knowledge they would have acquired it even if it had necessitated the shedding of their heart's blood or of their going down into the deep seas”.(Biharul Anwar, vol. 1, p.59).
Lastly,this final quote is superb and finishes my aim of this write-up."Islam emphasizes the importance of knowledge both religious and mundane.Islam is a justly balanced religion (Q2:143).It does not forbid us from seeking the good things of this world (including but not limited to sound western education or any other useful knowledge) because we want Paradise but it advises us not to let the search for good things of the world be our main pursuit in this world".
Allah Himself commands us to pray: “Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and defend us from the torment on the fire!" Q2:201.
Boko Haram have decided to turn the HOLY QURAN up side down,they have decided to tell the world what PROPHET MOHAMMED never said.Boko Haram have destroyed,still destroying,threatening the whole Nation and happy for their evil deeds.A true Muslim as far as i know can never abandon his Ramadan fasting and go into suicide bombing,never.
As a humanitarian i have carried out a personal research,i sent mails to devoted Muslim friends on facebook,as i noticed so many of them do not want to say anything in public about the Boko Haram issues.
I asked them this simple question "what do you think about BOKO HARAM?"I sent same mails to 30 (thirty) practicing and devoted Muslims.The answer they all gave me was almost the same.
The 30 (thirty) of them said Boko Haram are disgracing hem,that,"they are not in any way supporting the evils and false teachings of Boko Haram".Some of them said they are even shy to profess their faith in public because of the Boko Haram's unwise and evil teachings.
After my survey i began to wonder,i began to ask myself questions,i began to philosophize..."WHO THEN ARE THE BOKO HARAM?".Having sat down and ask my great God some questions,the ALMIGHTY GOD who said knowledge is the hope of every nation,i then realised that Boko Haram are neither Muslims nor Christians.
BOKO HARAM are simply "political mafias used by political evil men who failed in elections and wanted to destroy and ruin Nigeria as leaders".If Boko Haram were to be Muslims,they wouldn't have struck at this moment,especially as it is Ramadan period and on a Jumat day.
Let us be very wise in our thinking and in our decisions.BOKO HARAMS are not Muslims of the GREAT ALLAH,nor Christians OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.Boko Haram are political mafias that are trying to use the Muslim Logo to destroy Nigeria.They have no idea of how to execute their evils,so they are trying to win the heart of Muslims to get their rights.
OBAMA the President of America is a Muslim with Western education and ideas,why then are the Boko Haram saying Western education is evil?
Islamic leaders please be courageous,don't be afraid or shy to speak the truth.I know some of you have been bribed and bought with huge amount of money to agree that Boko Haram
MY ADVICE TO ALL MUSLIMS AND MUSLIM LEADERS.
Let all Muslims and their leaders get up,stand up,move on to say "NO TO BOKO HARAM"
They are simply destroying the image of your religion,they are telling lies against ALLAH.I urge all true followers of GREAT ALLAH to join in the fight to stop the evil of BOKO HARAMS all in the name of ISLAM.
"Say no to the evil of Boko Haram in Nigeria".Muslims and Christians are one people,we are from one Creator,we will all go back to that same creator at the end of time.
"O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes,so that you may come to know one another.Truly, the most honored of you in God's sight is the greatest of you in piety.God is All-Knowing,All-Aware. (Quran, 49:13)"
If you are a true follower of ALLAH,a true follower of CHRIST SON OF GOD,spread and send this write-up to all your Nigeria friends on Internet sites.Leave a comment of "PEACE" for GOD (ALLAH).
Below are some horrible pictures of the bomb blast.
What else can you say after viewing the horrible pictures???
Short Story And Pictures Of Bomb Blast In Abuja At United Nations Office....SO BAD
ABUJA Aug 26 (Reuters) - A bomb blast hit the United Nations building in the Nigerian capital of Abuja on Friday, the U.N. said, and witnesses said they had seen dead bodies being carried from the site.
"I can confirm there was an explosion at the U.N. building," a police spokesman in Abuja said.
"We have deployed our policemen and anti-bomb squad. We can't establish how many casualties (there are)." Witnesses said they saw ambulances carrying casualties from the site.
In Geneva, U.N. spokeswoman Alessandra Vellucci said an official at the U.N. information centre in Lagos, Nigeria's biggest city, had confirmed that a bomb was to blame.
She had no further information and it was not clear who was responsible for the attack.
Nigeria has been hit by a wave of bombings claimed by Boko Haram, a radical Islamist sect.
Boko Haram, whose name translates from the local northern Hausa language as "Western education is sinful", has been behind almost daily bombings and shootings, mostly targeting police in the northeast of Africa's most populous nation.
On Thursday it bombed a police station and raided banks in a northeastern Nigerian town, leaving 12 people dead including policemen and a soldier.
"We just saw the blast coming from the building. All the people in the basement were all killed. Their bodies are littered all over the place. I saw about 5 dead bodies," said Ocilaje Michael, a member of the U.N. staff working at the building. A Reuters witness confirmed dead bodies being carried into an ambulance.
Below are some pictures of the horrible scene of the bomb blast posted by AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE.

At least 18 Nigerians arrested and tried for trafficking in hard drugs and various criminal offences are to die by hanging in Indonesia, National Mirror can authoritatively revealed.
This is coming on the heels of the execution of one Tochukwu Udeoji in Jakarta, the Indonesian capital, two years ago for alleged drug dealing, despite Federal Government’s intervention. Sources close to the country’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Nurhadi Djazuli, said the involvement of the Nigerians in drug possession, trafficking and other immigrations offences in the country put the convicts on the wrong sides of the law. Though officials of the Indonesian Embassy in Lagos failed to confirm the report, sources said Djazuli, informed the Federal Government about the development a couple of weeks ago.
“The ambassador has intimated the Nigerian government with the development. At a diplomatic briefing recently, he explained the details and expressed his government’s constraints over the matter. He said as an Islamic country, Indonesia does not negotiate capital punishment for such offences,” a Foreign Affairs Ministry source said.
Reacting to development, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru, confirmed the conviction of the Nigerians to National Mirror. He said that the Indonesian government had adequately briefed Nigeria on the activities of the convicts. Ashiru, in an exclusive interview with National Mirror, said government had continued to plead with the Indonesian government over the implementation of the court judgment. “We have been holding discussions with the Indonesian government, pleading for clemency on the matter. I cannot tell what their decision on the matter is for now.”
He added that the position of Jakarta on the matter is understandable because their law expressly prohibits drug trafficking, “but in this case, it stipulates capital punishment, unlike ours which provides for various terms of imprisonment.” The minister explained that the Indonesian government had also informed Nigeria that “it does not spare its own nationals convicted over the crimes, and that reversing the sentences on the convicts on the grounds of nationality will amount to double standards.” He called on the media and other well-meaning Nigerians to educate the people on the consequences of committing such heinous crimes like drug trafficking and money laundering which can bring odium to the nation and earn them capital punishment.
Hon Patrick Obahiagbon this morning on the sack of Justice Salami..."the presidential imprimatur to the putrescent judicial makossa dance that has pestiferously and scabrously oozed out of the Salami/Alugate,indubitably suggests that all presidential posturings on the rule of law for a period of aeon now, amounts to nothing but a mandibular skulduggery and vacuous shenanigan which should and must be pulverized. One thing is clear however and it is that the high priests of our temple of justice has frank.en.steously descended from mountain Olympus into a deprecable marsh.mallow of judicial rascality and who suffers if not the ragtag and bobtail and that exactly is my state of heebie-jeebies"
Why more Nigerians seek education in Ukraine - Envoy
The Ukrainian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Valery Vasyliev, has attributed the increasing number of Nigerians willing to study in his country every year to the fact that education is relatively cheaper in the country compared with other European countries.
He also attributed the trend to the high education standard in the Eastern European country.
Vasyliev said in Abuja on Friday while briefing journalists on the 20th anniversary of Ukraine's independence that in 2010 over 780 Nigerians second visas to study in his country's universities, academies and institutes.
He also recollected that 15 Nigerian students enjoyed scholarships from the Ukrainian government in 2010 while 20 scholarships were granted this year.
He said, "The partner ties between the two countries could be traced back to the 1960-80s when thousands of Ukrainian specialists worked at the construction of industrial enterprises in Nigeria and hundreds of Nigerian students studied in Ukrainian universities and institutes.
"Today numerous graduates of Ukrainian higher educational establishments work in government bodies, educational and health care institutions and business structures of Nigeria."
Vasyliev said Ukraine had the potential to become an economic leader in Eastern Europe using its rich natural resources, educated workforce and advantageous geography.
He added that the country had been working towards improving energy independence and reducing the share of imported non-renewable energy.
The envoy said the development of the Ukraine-Nigeria trade and economic relations was notable by the stability and tendency to the growth of volumes of trade turnover. He added that his country considers Nigeria as one of its key partners in Africa.
He, however, said Ukraine needed more in-depth cooperation with the Nigerian public and private counterparts to give further dynamics to the existing level of political dialogue, enhancement of bilateral trade relations, and sharing of Ukrainian high-tech industries expertise among others.
Vasyliev said that Ukrainian companies could effectively participate in the development of gas transport system of Nigeria and the operation of gas fields as well as marginal oil fields.
AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE is saying "what a big shame to our government for such news".Thousands of people are flocking embassies to seek for visa due to the frustration of Nigerian educational system. The huge crowd queueing at the American embassy for visa everyday is no longer an interesting news.The latest is now Ukraine,sooner it will be visa to Niger Republic or Cotonou."What a shame".
Financially Ukraine can not stand Nigeria,yet they are doing far better than Nigeria that is blessed with uncountable barrels of oil.Machines that were built 30 to 40 years ago in Ukraine are still active and working.Their system of education is far better than Nigeria that has enough crude oil to waste.
Followers of AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE,what else can we say to our leaders that refuses to improve standard of living,standard of education,transportation and other things to make life comfortable for Nigerians. There are bugging issues that should be on our foreheads,that is why AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE is on board to bring forth the views of our young generations.Let us keep learning from their mistakes,let us get ready on how we are going to utilise and manage our natural resources to develop God's own country,Nigeria.
As usual,let us maintain peace with suffering and smiling till when God will give way to the right people to manage that special resources God has given to us.Above all keep praying.
A YOUNG NIGERIAN MODEL "CHIDI ONWAEZE" WHO EMERGED 4TH POSITION,ALSO AS MISS SUPER SPORTS AND MISS KARE IN THE SUPER MODEL OF UKRAINE 2010, HAS TURNED DOWN AN OFFER OF $10,000 (TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS).
Chidi was born in Delta state,but grew up in Edo and Rivers state.She attended Saint Paul's secondary school and got her SSCE there in Nigeria.
Presently Chidi is in her 6th course (final year) in Lugansk state medical university,Ukraine.
Chidi has gone for modelling competitions within the region of Ukraine,and has won so many prizes,even amongst Ukrainians.Her eloquent voice and smiles has helped her a lot,coupled with her skinny structure.She is down to earth and very serious with her dreams.
In 2010,Chidi feautured in the super model of Ukraine,a beauty contest that has not gotten to Nigeria beauty shows.Apart from picking the 4th place in the contest,Chidi Onwaeze was crowned miss super sports and miss kare.She was the only black model present amongst other white Ukrainian girls.
For AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE,Chidi is a young model that is well enveloped with natural beauty,and a character that will attract anyone.
Below is the video of Chidi Onwaeze while doing what she knows best during the super model of Ukraine 2010.
At the moment Chidi is planning a great event for young girls,which will include both Africans and Ukrainians.This event will be coming up in the Lugansk state medical university on the 8th of October.It will be another show where many will have the opportunity of seeing this young model again with her charming smiles.
Recently,in July Chidi Onwaeze won a contract of $10,000 (ten thousand US dollars),but bluntly and willingly refused to endorse for the company.Her reasons for turning down the offer is that,the advert was seen as an abuse to the African culture and race.This simply means Chidi will be a great ambassador for AFRICA in the future.There is no doubt,many of her kinds in modelling world would have preferred to take the cash and endorse for such advert,forgetting the importance of their culture and race.
At present,Chidi is endorsing for a fashion company owned by a German business woman here in Ukraine for a peanut offer .
Below are some of Chidi Onwaeze's pictures,where she poses with summer wears for the fashion designer's company.
photos of Chidi
According to the young model during her interview with AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE,she said "i will love to endorse for any telecommunication network in Nigeria,like Globacom or Etisalat,as well as endorsing for Banks,because there is no place like home".
For Chidi,her future plans for personal projects apart from being a medical doctor is to introduce the MISS SUPER MODEL NIGERIA when she gets back home,as well as having an orphanage home to care for the less privileged.
Financially Chidi has been sponsoring herself,she has been doing it alone without the support of anyone.She needs a good sponsor to make her dreams come true,as she is getting set to go for the next miss Delta 2012 or in 2013.
To encourage the young model to make Africans proud here in Ukraine and at home,she has to be supported financially.For any interest of sponsorship,one can contact her through afrikrainemagazineonline@yahoo.com

Please don't judge me but pass on this confession. It may save lives of innocent young girls like me & help better our wicked economy that steals even from the poor. Myself and six (6) of my friends are into modern day prostitution popularly called RUNZ. We service top politicians, Musicians and Businessmen for a very good pay (#350,000)-- Politicians fee pay outing. These men don't use condom on us(of course with such money you don't have a say) they draw our blood with syringe and test in their private lab to check our HIV status before sleeping with us. I had dealings with the doctor who was paid #2million per- show. He reliably asked me to quit that our blood was being taken(after the tests) to their occultic coven to enslave and use us for rituals.
Of Course, I had no cause to argue when 4 out of 7 of us died mysteriously, 1 raving mad, and I am in the hospital with an illness that has no name or cure....the last of us is still missing till date. pls this is not a game or story, Check your sisters and friends those whom needle holes are in their hands are into it. At a point, we became so many (Runz girls) that we have to embark on diabolical/juju means to be amongst the chosen ones that will be selected when there is a party. For 350,000k who wouldn't? I don't repeat clothes, I have 7 phones, 16 different lines some of which I chew the sim after using....Cars, 3 houses in Lagos and 12 million naira in my account...etc...None of which can cure me. Vanity upon vanity, I pray to God for my soul....Pls pass this on to save a girls life, You dont see your family everyday, Your family member of friend may be a victim...God Forbid. Send and spread this message to save someone today. God guide You".....Chidinma's confession brought to you by AFRIKRAINE CASMIR ONLINE MAGAZINE.
For our young girls,please the future is bright,the day is still fresh,and the time just began.There is still hope for the future even with hard labour.
The fight between Mercy Johnson and Lovelyn Okojie over Prince .O. Okojie is no longer the latest on board in Nigeria.There is a bigger fight at the moment that might draw the attention of leaders all over the world.This fight might go a long way to help Nigeria's present economy,as our present leaders will love to do better knowing fully well that forgotten issues can still be revisited in future. Below we see the big fight between IBB and OBJ that were both former president of Nigeria at differnt tenure.. ABEOKUTA –FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo and former military President Ibrahim Babangida yesterday descended from the platform of statesmen into an acrimonious mutual war of words, accusing each other of foolery. Yesterday’s brickbat flowed from an earlier interview by Gen. Babangida on the eve of his 70th birthday on Tuesday where he said “in my eight years in office, I was able to manage poverty and achieved success while somebody for eight years managed affluence and achieved failure.” Chief Obasanjo who was President for eight years retorted yesterday accusing Babangida of threading the path of foolishness at seventy even as he defended his administration against allegations of ineffectiveness couched in the earlier interview granted the press by Babangida. He said that Babangida should rather be pitied and shown sympathy rather than anger or condemnation. Babangida responds Babangida’s response was swift and severe as he tackled Obasanjo on both his performance record while in office and decency in his dealings even with his household and daughter in-law. He accused Obasanjo of being a witless comedian whose eight-year double term was characterized with human rights violations and mishaps including plane crashes. Obasanjo who spoke with news men in Abeokuta during the visit of an American Team on an inspection of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) said that his initial thought was not to respond but that on second thought he decided to reply Babangida so that he (Babangida) would not consider himself wise. He said: “Well, normally when I read these things I don’t believe them. Yesterday when somebody phoned me and said this was said, I said I don’t believe it. He said check on all the papers and I said get me all the papers; they got me the papers and I read; it’s a little bit unlike Babangida. But if Babangida had decided on becoming a septuagenarian, that he will be a fool, I think one should probably do what the Bible says in Proverbs chapter 26, verse 4. It says, don’t answer a fool because you may also become like him. “When you go to the same Proverbs chapter 26, verse 5, it says answer a fool so that he will not think he’s a wise man. So, I am now torn between which of the two verses I should follow in this respect. Some of the things he said unfortunately were not well thought-out. “For instance, he talked about our energy. When I was the military head of state, I built Jebba dam; built Shiroro dam, I prepared the foundation of Egbin plant which President Shagari completed and commissioned. That time the money we were making was not up to the money Babangida made annually for his eight years and yet we built two dams. Because it was important, you know that power is the driving force for development and for any developing country. But since the building of Egbin power plant, until I came back in 1999 there was not any generating plant for almost 20 years and Babangida spent eight years out of that. Now, he has the audacity to talk about anybody; I think that is unfortunate.” IBB deserves pity, sympathy “I also read where he said in his time, he gave the dividends of democracy and at the same time he regretted. When I read that, well I said Babangida should be pitied and shown sympathy rather than anger or condemnation because the old saying says a fool at 40 is a fool forever and I would say a regret at 70 is a regret too late. Well a regret at 70 is a regret to the grave. “Then as elected president, I built Papalanto, Omotosho, others and I started five of what they called Independent Power Stations which were stopped for two and a half years. Now the present administration has started building a new power project at Uyo. As a country, Nigeria should be adding nothing less than 1,500 megawatts annually. South Africa with a population of 50 million generates 50,000 mega watts. Nigeria with a population of about 165 million we are not generating, we as at 1999 met 1,500 mega watts before we took it up to 4,000 mega watts. What we started they are now allowing it to go on. I believe if they continue with the programme that we left, In another two years , we will get to 10,000”. Obasanjo on sale of Nigeria Airways Commenting on disclosures by erstwhile Director General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, BPE, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai that he, Obasanjo stopped the sale of Nigeria Airways as President, Obasanjo said: “I blocked the sale of Nigeria Airways, not that I attempted to block the sale of Nigeria Airways. When I was military head of state, Nigeria Airways had 32 aircraft, by the time I came back as elected president of Nigeria, Nigeria Airways had only one aircraft. “One of the 32 was a wide-bodied aircraft, they had all gone and the report on which we worked is here, the amount of money we will have to pay if Nigeria Airways was sold, what we would get out of it is less than 10 percent of the debt we have to pay. That would be the debt Nigeria tax payers will have to pay; that will not be the way to run the affairs of this country. I won’t run my own affairs that way, so I opted for liquidation. So, it was bankrupt, it was liquidated; in which case whatever you gain from liquidation which is also a form of sale, it means the burden will be shared by all the creditors and everybody. So, if I owe you 10 dollars and what I sell when I am liquidated is two. That’s what you get. So, I did not allow normal privatization or sale because it would have put very heavy burden on Nigeria. “So, Nigerians should know that and in fact my administration should be commended for that. It’s not that I did not allow the sale because the law establishing it says sale and liquidation is also a form of sale”. The IBB statement Babangida in a riposte through a press statement issued by his spokesman, Prince Kassim Afegbua said: “It is certainly not in the tradition of General IBB, such a refined gentleman officer; to join issues with his subordinates’ and superiors, but for the price we owe history, this riposte becomes appropriate and necessary. We expected Chief Obasanjo to react to the substance of General Babangida’s submissions and not deploy this distractive strategy to shy away from the real issues at stake. The statistics of the government they both ran at different times, speak for them.” “The history of Chief Obasanjo is an open sore that is irredeemably contrived in several incongruities and contradictions. When he pleaded with IBB to be given another chance to extend his tenure, IBB was not a fool then. When he was released from prison and granted state pardon, bathed in cerebral ornaments and clothed in royal beads and later crowned as President of Nigeria, IBB was not a fool then. Now that he is at the extreme of his thoughts and engagements, he can decide to dress IBB in borrowed robes. But the histories of both of them, when put to public scrutiny comparatively, IBB is far glowing and instructively stands poles apart from Obasanjo. In terms of decency, finesse, class, distinction and general conduct, IBB could be described in the superlatives but for Obasanjo; God bless Nigeria.” A witless comedian “For a man who cannot possibly tell his true age, one may excuse his present outburst as the effusions of a witless comedian trying effortlessly to impress his select audience. On the issue of performance, Obasanjo cannot contemplate a comparism of his conquistadorial and largely acquisitive regime that plundered our hard-earned state resources, with that of IBB government with verifiable record of achievements. Despite the fact that he carried out a clinical investigation of IBB’s regime, what did he establish against him? Nothing! We wish to refer Obasanjo to the National Assembly to give his own side of the story to the several revelations that have become themes of his orchestra when he held sway as President of Nigeria. Perhaps, he would be able to tell the world how he managed Nigeria’s resources during his regime. “Chief Obasanjo should ponder on these incontrovertible facts: The revenues that accrued to former President Obasanjo during his eight years are more than those that accrued to the nation from independence till 1999 before he took over. Despite such stupendous wealth of the nation, what was his performance profile? The number of high profile deaths by assassinations and politically motivated killings during Obasanjo’s eight years is more than any other in the history of this country. Besides, is it not curious that after Obasanjo’s exit, there has not been any reported case of plane crashes? What was his human rights record? The people of Odi in Bayelsa State and Zaki-Ibiam in Benue State are yet to recover from the massacre visited on them by Chief Obasanjo. Again Crude Oil sold for as much as $180 dollars per barrel for the better part of his eight years, what benefit did Nigerians derive from such excess crude? With the revelations coming from the hallowed chambers of the National Assembly, Nigerians are now coming to terms with the profligacy of the Obasanjo era. “Against the backdrop of the above, it is ludicrous for him to raise any intellectual debate on the achievements of the governments they ran at different times in the life of the nation. Calling IBB “a fool at 70” is at best a compliment. Nigerians surely know who is truly a fool or the greatest fool of this century.” News culled from Vanguard.
