OBJ didn't ban anyone, he banned them from using official vehicles for private uses and to stop all "misuse and abuse of the monetisation policy by some ministers, special advisers, senior special assistants and permanent secretaries."

I don't believe that!! The man is an obvious egotistical power nut, how much of his words can you really believe. Do you really think a man of OBJ's character would do such a thing?? The man is nearly of the same mindset as Adedibu... Plus being that Ladoja has been accused with good cause of office misconduct I'd doubt that OBJ while in the mindset of his current anti corruption frenzy would beg anyone to reinstall the likes of Ladoja.. Talk about the impropriaties of the means in which he was dismissed from off?? YES!! But beg to have the man put back in office?? HELL NO!!

The whole thing is simple. OBJ dose have character, as the lack of a responce on this issue has shown, along with his further refusal to talk about his intentions for the election in 2007. It takes a man of character to ignore and move on past useless ignorant babble in which may be directed at you. If the man wants to spit useless blasphemy out his mouth to boost his own ego, then that's his problem... OBJ has better, much more important things to do and worry about than worrying about and responding to some egotistical governor who just may be on the EFCC list himself.

There's a war going on in the Delta, foreign national leaders are queuing up left and right to get some time in to talk with the leader of the worlds newest greatest investment haven, and budding Industrial giant. The affairs of the the AU are are calling on him night and day, from Sudan to Liberia, Sierra Leone, and now Ivory Coast too. Did you know that already African leaders, the US, EU and others are insisting that he runs for another term as the head of the AU, do to their threats of that they will not recognize the authority of the Sudanese president as the head of the AU?

Such a situation could be devastating for the the new, budding organization in which OBJ had worked so hard to help bring into existence. It looks like he will have to one again lead the organization for another year. Calls from the US and UK to act faster to get their citizens an other foreigners helled hostage in the Delta are pouring in along with the calls of the general population of the nation to get the Delta issue resolved.

All this and more.. he has on his plate; what the hell does he care about some old desperado talking ish about him?? NADA!! And as for the third term bit; he's already said numerous times in the past that he would quit office in 2007 without a hassle; yet in the same light he will not do so to a bunch of thieves. You cant get any clearer than that, as to what the man is thinking in regards to this situation.

I don't get this your OBJ jare...if he is really anti corruption, why was he trying to mend the relationship of adedibu and ladoja. Someone of OBJ's caliber can kneel down for another person depending on the person's significance...you never know, underground, adedibu might be a god whateva father to OBJ you never know.

Thank you, I should have read this post before I made my comment. Exactly my thoughts, everyone has a godfather.

Abeg go sit down, nobody really knows what is going on in that country, we read stuff, we hear stuff and we see stuff and all of us just come to a one big conclusion in our mind about what we think is going on. But since we are not in there midst, we can't really say we know for sure what the hell is happening in that country....my own is what took OBJ so long to want to clean that country. All this satellite crap, nuclear nonsense shouldn't be prioprity what about the citizens of that country, can we do something about the education, jobs e.t.c at the same time he is cleaning up the country. Like I've said before, i don't know much o but this is just my own thoughts. While you are getting rid of the corrupt leaders, can we also build true leaders of tomorrow at the same time?

I don't have a godfather. I kneel, or beg to no man.

Dralink! E be like say u be Alien for asking dat kweshion!

Somebody wey dem put there as puppet make im just serve four years, hand over and go!

Somebody wey don try to assasinate so many times??

Country wey dem don loot dry for more than 30yrs??

Country wey full wif Mafia $Billionaires , shey u get Idea wetin people wey get dat kind money fit do??

OBJ inherited a DEAD country. Not even a single thing was working when he got there.... and he was supposed to change all in 4 or six years?? (think deep about this...Not one SINGLE THING was working)

U sabi how difficult it is to chage the status quo of anything in this world??

Make dem put a law for USA say make Police no dey carry gun again. Make all University students dey wiah uniform go school, Make dem legalize the use of Cocain,

make nobody dey pay any sort of tax again. Make dem no pay police salary for six months.... U sure say Clinton,Bush and Carter fit rule America like this??.... Or even fit make any visible change in the next 12yrs?? This na some of the minor problems OBJ inherite... See So many people gain from the curruption and would do everything to see that nobody change their avenue of stealing including killing OBJ.... So my sister the man dey try only say the problem dey too big for people to even appreciate am. Wait till u see RIBADU
interview.. I go send u a copy when I tranfare to VCD

OBJ was planted there for just four yrs to sooth the yoruba people because of Abiola... He used that four yrs to study Naija and saw the madness going on... Now dont forget the peeps that planted him there wanted him to leave at once after the four yrs... He plead, begged, used all tricks he knew to get another four yrs... And right before their eyes the man they thought was their puppet transformed and went after them... Mydear Naija na Mafia country deeper than what peeps know...... As far as am concerned OBJ is just trying to jumpstart a DEAD country...though so many peeps still want it dead. RIBADU in less than 3yrs has recorvered over 200 billion naira of stolen money! Nothing like this has even been donein the History of Nigeria. My dear if u hear RIBADU talk... the passion and sincerity in his voice and his dream and focus for a better Nigeria will make u feel extra proud being a Nigeria
