"Quotes"
"I consider that
Nigeria is on the verge, on the brink of a massive implosion that will make
what's happening in the Sudan child's play. We know there are movements for
secession in this country. We know that everybody is preparing for the
contingency of breaking up. International organisations are also studying the
situation,"... Wole Soyinka, Africa's first Nobel Prize Winner for Literature..

"Obasanjo is an hypocrite, you say, don’t
worry I’ve got a masterplan to develop the area, you convene a stakeholders
meeting, putting some people in air-conditioned hotel rooms and giving them
money in Abuja while the real people concerned are left at home suffering
because there is no light, no water, no good roads, no schools. And all the
while you are secretly buying weapons to go and destroy them!"
"Obasanjo
is not playing straight with Atiku, he is not playing straight with Nigeria and
with the Niger Delta. The country is in for trouble." ....Prof. David-West
“We have had the worst government
in this country within the last eight years. I am ready to challenge anybody on
this. Chief Obasanjo sold everything the country had. The things he did not
remember to sell are the National Assembly building, Aso Rock and the Supreme
Court buildings. You don’t ever put an hungry man in the kitchen. I feel very
sad and embarrassed that in the last 45 years, we have had more than five
constitutions. The critical point is that nothing is wrong with our
Constitution, but our rulers. In the past eight years, what we had in Nigeria
was a military government masquerading as a civilian government.”....Chief Richard Akinjide
You cannot produce anything because you
are lazy. It is your laziness that is making you to make all these
demands”... President Olusegun Obasanjo

"Everybody
knows that the place where the lifeblood of the country lies now is the Niger
Delta and we must be ready to defend the lifeblood with all the resources of the
country," ... Obasanjo
