no man is perfect. I have my reservation. To be objective, He is the best in performance among all past and present presidents of Nigeria. if you do not believe, ask yourself why the UN and other world bodies still respect and use him for very important of assignment all over the world till date. From Telecoms, Oil Sector, Banking among others, He did extremely well. Did he embezzle, I cannot tell authoritatively but the net of his good and bad acts, I give to him he is more of positive net Nigeria and Africa than a negative. By and large the Documentary is good.
Towards the end they talk about all the credit Obasanjo should get. Hello!!! You don't get credit for doing what you're supposed to be doing. You get credit for going above and beyond the requirements of the task.
By that logic no one would pass school (since you require credit for the job you did in order to pass) or get promoted (since you require positive credit/evaluation in order to move up). A bit ludicrous. Where your predecessors have failed but you have excelled, you deserve credit. Simple. Doesnt require a shrine of your good works and success but giving credit is the bare minimum.
Say whatever you want about this man but he was the greatest President has ever had !!! E brought awareness and businesses, Infrastructures, foreign investors etc
Obasanjo should have give ñigeria electricity has Nigeria in darkness is not good why because he rule so long as military chief of army force and democracy Head of State he has time not building a gegety labour for himself may God bless ñigeria amen
that's balderdash. talking nonsense of tribe. who has tribe helped?.u guys have used tribe to enslave ur mind from being enlightened. how is suit a culture?. is driving a car a culture?.is living in cement housing a culture?. is speaking English a culture?. nonsense tribalistic pride
All the money he got to do all his businesses was stolen from Nigerian. He is a thief and he should be arrested and thrown in prison for life. Such ex-leaders are just mocking at the Nigeria citizens. He is just a thief.
OBJ as some people call him is a nuisance, a big thief! He had the unique chance to lift Nigeria to greatness twice and he ruined both chances. He is a Fool certainly not a hero to Nigerians.
Brains and Beauty he should have help Nigeria the way Mandela lift South Africa but instead he loot Nigeria met dollar at the price of 41 naira to dollars and left it on 120 increasing the price of everything times 4 the normal price. For example garri cup price early 1999 was 2 naira and it was 10 naira when obasanjo left.
I remembered during His Tenure He Approved some budget to Ogun State Former Governor to Build some Infrastructure e.g Airport e.t.c they chop the money without doing what they were told to do not only Ogun tho
Adeolu Godwin what is your question are you saying South Africa is also not good and it’s backward ? If that’s your suggestion please do away with such thought? South Africa they don’t take light the road is so neat police will arrive in 4 minutes if you call them and it’s top 6 most beautiful country in the world, before you argue blindly visit the country and see heaven
They are all Corrupted but this man did little if the rest can do little Nigeria wont be worst like this He cleared all the debt Nigeria is Owing before He left Office The thing is no matter How far you wanna try to reach there will be a lot dragging you down just like Crabs So He is the Best so far Imagine
OK, I'm thinking you may need to re-do this, the first speech you credit to Abacha was actually Babangida's speech. I know it's confusing, but I am pretty sure I saw that speech under IBB. sorry to bother but your other docs have been really on point, it'd be a shame if this one is the one that breaks the chain of accuracy.
He came from a poor home, escaped the tragedy of his birth by providence, but placed increased number of his people in abject poverty. Although he's the best of the worst we've had, except Yakubu Gowon, he does not merit any of these encomiums. Time will tell the truth. I believe history will judge him and his cohorts, except Gowon, harshly.
Imagine had Gadahfi succeeded in uniting all of Africa. As long as Africa remains indoctrinated by it's false identity it will be hard to unite all of Africa
Obsanjo's story is never complete without Fela Kuti. Obasanjo I think is not someone that should be revered, he doesn't deserve the accolades he got from this narrator.
He didn't build any Library for Nigeria citizens throughout his tenure, but he built a Presidential library. What does Nigerians need from Obasanjo Presidential Library?????
If you truly believe in Jesus and you become a leader your country will never fail and always prosper when your leaders fail to truly believe in him you will like all other super powers of the world in our past will fail also because there is nothing new under the Sun.

@Godwin ogabo What does that say about you, you support a nigerian military dictator who was against freedom of the press, was responsible for the odi massacre, stole millions of public money to build his 50 roomed mansion and had the tribes of south-east nigeria brutalized whenever they spoke up for their rights.
@@eleri7024 stop with historical white washing he brutalized everyone as a dictator not just the south east just like every other dictator like aguiyi ironsi
Wait a minute! Did I hear it well?He lives in a 50 rooms mansion? Damn that's way too much for someone who will claim to love his country. No wonder he was accused of corruption. If that's true, my my my! Smh!
It's a big lie. Who went there to count the rooms. I'm from the city. And moreover he has donated the building to the state government for isolation center

This video is a biography of Obasanjo and show the characteristic of Leadership at the time. His reforms were commendable given Eqypt was not built in a day. As in many African countries the issue of developing the population capacity (Education, Skills internal Capacity to provide goods and services) has been the greatest challenge, when the instinct of internal nationalism of the population is still strong.
Only Fela? What about the war on the igbo's or the theft of arguably the biggest farm in Nigeria (operation feed the nation) which he converted to Otta farm? He is a complete gluttonous unapologetic thief sadly celebrated by the ignorant &/or blind.
Femi Ademulegun are you from Abeokuta like Obasanjo ? I’m a Igbo but I feel Obasanjo was very corrupt everything late Fela sang about !! All leaders in Nigeria are corrupt. After Tafewa Abbukar ehhh Nigeria na wayo system !!!!!

I always liked him,I watched him at sangster international airport when he visited Jamaica,I watched as president Abu bakar visited too I watched as he transformed Nigeria into a full democracy.as a youngster I followed the coup of1966, followed ironsi demise, Gowan downfall, murtala Mohammed down fall, obossanjo,shehu shagari, mohammadu Buhari,babangida,and shonekan, and abacha the world watches as the lull in coups abated.ma God bless nigeria
Coups or not Nigeria is a curropt Paradise for the few and hell hole for the majority. The country has stagnated for well over 30 years and still does not have 24 hr light until today. Ghana has 24 hr light!!!
Africa24 Media Ltd... How come Chief Editor is China, Producers Chinese, Executive producer, Chinese. Supervisor, Chinese... Or those names not Chinese name?
Obasanjo, Gowon and their weak military invited British, USSR, Jordan, Libya, Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia to help them with the genocidal war waged against Biafra 1967-70 as Nigerian army with sophisticated weapon couldn't defeat poorly equipped gallant Biafran military who got up to Ore. In panic Nigeria invited her allies as named above to help with the genocidal war against Biafra. Another war Obasanjo and his weak military could not win solely was against Cameroonian military therefore he abandoned Bakassi island- Nigerian Island to Cameroon because Nigeria couldn't get her allies to help this time. Thirdly Nigeria military are still fighting boko haram for many years still has difficulties in defeating boko haram without outside help. THE STRUGGLE FOR BIAFRA CONTINUES AND WOULD BE ACTUALISED BECAUSE TODAY'S WORLD IS DIFFERENT KETTLE OF TEA FROM THAT OF 1967-70. GOD BLESS BIAFRA.
FELA FOREVER!!!
😂
I met him in jamaica ,aguard of honour,well received in jamaica,a great and stable general and president hope u will visit us again.
I am from Ghana but Prez Obasanjo currently is our living legend. The best Son of Africa that we can all boast of with admiration.

Olusegun Obasanjo is a lot more intelligent than people give him credit for.
And lot more corrupt
General Obasanjo is a very wise man.
Say whatever you want about this man but he was the greatest President has ever had !!! E brought awareness and businesses, Infrastructures, foreign investors etc
Maybe it would have been better for that state Biafra to be on its own!
Baba Fela Said it all . Listen to his music! Baba fela the REAL Originator of Afro Beat! #Facts
Well done Olusegun Obasanjo 🌺 ☀️

He should be arrested.
@mansa koabi He should also be arrested, tried and imprisoned. And all his personal wealth and assets should be confiscated.
Thank you 🦅
A great and needful documentary. Thanks
He should get arrested
He has done more than damage to Nigeria dignity.. Freedom for Nigeria Free OMOYELE SOWORE #Revolution 4Nigeria NOW
Obasanjo also must be blamed for the situation Nigeria is today. Is a power and money hungry guy.
Thank you obj for the love you have for Nigeria God bless you
Operation feed yourself
14:00 was Babangida, not Abacha.
OBJ as some people call him is a nuisance, a big thief!
He had the unique chance to lift Nigeria to greatness twice and he ruined both chances. He is a Fool certainly not a hero to Nigerians.
I'm curious what could/should he have done?

Really why do you say that?
I agree you cannot be a democrat when it's suit you, he tormented my favourite musician chief priests
We Nigerians are very Funny
Do you know well they recognised and Respect the man outside the Country
He played his part n history written. PERIOD
He didn't build any Library for Nigeria citizens throughout his tenure, but he built a Presidential library. What does Nigerians need from Obasanjo Presidential Library?????
