With my boss, President Goodluck Jonathan, at his residence in Abuja on Monday, August 7, 2023. Less than a year ago. I like the type of 'exile' where I am given a red carpet treatment right from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, where I was the first person to get out of the British Airways plane which flew in from London Heathrow (by the way, I was not detained at Heathrow, unlike others), to the warm embrace of Nigerian Immigration Service officers and men, who gave me a VIP treatment, and courtesy was extended all the way to my residence, along with armed guards to protect me. The same treatment was given to me when I left Nigeria two days later. If that is what some call exile, may I keep experiencing such blessings throughout my life.

Reality has fact checked it enough that the people you know is actually your Net Worth not money and How you deal with them is your network not what you do with them.
Now ask yourself; is your networking good enough to claim the Net Worth.
When Obasanjo was in office, Bola Tinubu was a thorn in his flesh. BAT criticized OBJ at every turn, he even proffered many solutions as the Master Strategist he is.
Now that Chief Asiwaju is there, we hope he can do those things he suggested to OBJ, to Yar'adua & to Jonathan? After all, he built Lagos & parted the Atlantic Ocean.
“Chukwuma, don’t ignore the World Bank, but do don’t their biddings.” — Obasanjo to Professor Chukwuma Soludo (as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria).
“The Economy feeds on politics. If the politics is depressing, the economy will even be more depressing." — Obasanjo.
OBJ was a globalist, but also a nationalist. He had the midas touch. He knew how to work the system. In the end, he never did the biddings of the World Bank & the IMF. He left Nigeria better than he met it.
He gave Nigerians the now disappearing middle class families. The Nigerian Passport had value; you could visit Dubai with N200,000. Obasanjo was the beginning of the Nigerian Exodus back to fatherland. Diaspora Nigerians returned home.
It was prosperity like no other. People could afford brand new (tear rubber cars) with their salaries. 2005 was the beginning of the Great Exodus back home.
People like Banky W, D’Banj, Don Jazzy, Ikechukwu, Naeto C etc, went back to Nigeria. That was the beginning of the boom in Entertainment Industry.
Nollywood & Afrobeats felt OBJ’s massive leap in the economy & began its journey to where they are today. Quite early on, OBJ met a depleted purse & a country in ruin, in 1999.
The military bequeathed a Nigeria on its knees to Aremu. But he made no excuses, he simply went to work.
Obasanjo did not only pay off Nigeria’s huge foreign debt, he attracted massive foreign direct investments, & started the now depleted Excess Crude Account (ECA) as well.
He established the NHIS, the EFCC, the ICPC, the Pension Scheme, & so many other institutions now bastardized by “you know who.” GSM Liberalization & Bank Consolidation are credits to him.
Nigeria was a backwater before his ascension to power. Nigerians were coming out of the torture & the trauma. People tried to get on with their lives, there was a sense of a New Dawn that sort of hanged in the air.
My country Nigeria has seen BETTER DAYS!
No one could have re-engineered & reimagined that place like OBJ did. With a GDP growing at average 6%, he got the economy on its path to becoming “one of the fastest growing economies in the world.”
Nigeria was ranked in the same category with China at one point. He bequeathed a solid economy to Yar’Dua, & the latter did his best until the cold wicked hand of death. 🕊
Fast-forward to 2024, the APC set Nigeria 50 years back. It started with Buhari. The “Clueless One” sent Nigeria 30 years back. His twini continued from where he stopped, & added 20 more years to that number.
It’ll take 50 years of meticulous planning, adequate security & corruption on its knees to reset back to 2015.
OBJ walked with World Leaders as equal. He got Nigeria’s Foreign Policy right. The brand Nigeria was a viable product, & the world paid attention. He hosted the world to Football Fiestas, & hosted Queen Elizabeth in Abuja at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting; CHOGM.
At one point he wrote a strong-worded letter to Her British Strongwoman, Margaret Thatcher. As a man of letters, OBJ continued to write to this day even.
He handled the ECOWAS & Africa like his babies. At one point, he struck a deal for Charles Tailor to live out his asylum at Obudu Cattle Ranch, Calabar. He restored order in São Tomé & Principe, ECOMOG also felt his midas touch.
He was at the forefront of the Liberation of South Africa away from apartheid; Nelson Mandela & Thabo Mbeki remained eternally grateful to OBJ. Africa had men who knew what to do, Obasanjo was one of them.
Now the road ahead is uncertain, but the end is clear. The “Cult of APC” gave Nigerians an age-long Somali-Pakistan Empire, & offered no apologies for that. 💔
If Nigeria can spend billions rehabilitating Boko Haram members who have killed people, I don't see why we cannot rehabilitate Nigerians involved in manufacturing fake and counterfeit products. Instead of arresting and throwing them in jail, why not rehabilitate them? Re-educate them. If they can produce fakes, they are close to making authentic products. The NAFDAC should teach them how to register a company. Mentor them on how to get a patent. Help them secure bank loans and government grants from the Bank of Industry. Then, they will start making their made-in-Nigeria brands of pharmaceuticals, electronics, smartphones, food and beverage, and clothing to compete with foreign goods and services. That is how to build an economy. That is how we will develop our local technology. That is how we will build our military-industrial complex!

Till date, no Justice for her family over the attempted murder of her and her family.
Her husband was killed. No Justice till now.
She gave absolutely all for Nigeria. Yet the land has a way of taking her own.
This is why I choose battles carefully. If you lose your life, Nigeria moves on.
You are doing something wrong when your spouse is jealous of how you treat "outsiders". Your spouse should be your top priority and not outsiders. Make other people jealous of how well you treat your spouse. Don't give outsiders what you can't and haven't given your spouse.
People standing with the Israeli are doing humanity no good.
Country bible declared no war whatsoever shall conquered.
They are stronger than the Palestine against all odds.
"Handicapped war"
I reckon peace ✌️
