"Every objective evaluation demonstrates that Obasanjo is responsible for the kleptocracy that runs Nigeria today. What is even worse is that as a parting menace, he committed the greatest treason of all: handcuffing his country to a spineless, incompetent and compromised cabal he knew would asphyxiate it. And he turns around to blame it.
Still, The Hypocrite is right on one account: the Nigerian tragedy is also about followership. "If we talk about good leadership you should also talk about good followers," he said.
Nigerians are atrocious followers. We are cowards and sycophants who would rather feed mud to our children than fight for the right to food. At the event, for instance, Vice-Chancellor Isaac Adewole shamelessly swallowed the baloney Obasanjo had just spilled all over Nigeria's oldest university, and then questioned the nation's political prospects in 2015.
Equally stunning, not one student was reported to have walked out, slamming doors in disgust.
Obasanjo is Nigeria's first 419 leader, and he knows it. But he is counting on the Nigerian people, especially the youth, remaining too distracted or too scared to rise to their feet and say, emphatically and in unison: "NO," "ENOUGH" and "NONSENSE!"
It is time. Our mumu don do!"
