BREAKING: 2019: Obasanjo, Jonathan, Governors Storm Yola For Atiku
Former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan joined some Peoples Democratic Party governors to visit the palace of Lamido of Adamawa in Yola on Sunday.
Those present at the meeting said Mr Obasanjo showered praises on Atiku Abubakar, his previously estranged vice president with whom he had reconciled since becoming the candidate of Nigeria’s main opposition party for the 2019 presidential election.
Mr Obasanjo, president between 1999 and 2007, reportedly recounted his ordeal at the Yola Prisons following his incarceration by the military junta of Sani Abacha in the 1990s.
Mr Obasanjo said Yola Prisons and the Lamido’s palace were only separated by a wall. It was a remarkable moment, said Paul Ibe, a spokesperson for Mr Abubakar who was present at the event.
Mr Ibe told PREMIUM TIMES Mr Obasanjo assured the Lamido of Adamawa that Mr Abubakar would not disappoint “when he becomes president” in 2019.
“He said Atiku Abubakar would do his job with dignity, integrity and honour,” Mr Ibe said.
Shortly after the meeting, Messrs Obasanjo, Jonathan and Abubakar then rode in the same bus with some governors to the home of Mr Abubakar for lunch, it was learnt.
Details shortly…

OBJ THE MOST EVIL MAN IN NIGERIA. DON’T TRUST HIM
ARE YOU GUYS THINKING? 58 YEARS, FULANIS IS WINNING THE GAME.
Buhari is a Fulani man and Atiku is another Fulani man planning to take over from him. Who is fooling who? And before you know it the Fulani will rule Nigeria for another 12 years. I do not have confidence in Nigeria’s elections again after Ekiti and Osun charade called elections.
It is better we stop spending taxpayers’ money in the name of conducting elections in this country,” i wondered why a new minimum wage for workers could not be put at N50,000 “whereas each federal lawmaker
receives N36 million and above in addition to other allowances per month for doing nothing”.

Good Evening to you all.
Let’s ask our self’s simple question why Obasanjo, so interested in one Nigeria? What is Obasanjo trying too hard to protect that if Nigeria breaks up today he will never have that particular thing anymore? Obasanjo have nobody interest at heart but his selfishness and equip family with his national cake as he rightfully stated that oil in Biafra Land is been describe as national cake.
People should understand no politicians in Nigeria think anything good about this country to be honest my brothers and sister division of this country call Nigeria still the best so that every region will start to search for their God giving talent and destiny as well because this politicians collectively destroy our ways of reasoning and thinking everything seems to be well and fine for us.
Imagine country where there is no water no light no good road and the youths are busy campaigning for same people who never and can never change the ways of doing things nothing can make this country a better place the whole system is been destroy by pass and presents politicians and none of them is ready to change curse now and in the future only to rotate the power between them self’s and you ask yourself this painful question till when can this country will become a better place for ordinary man on the street? Since nothing good is forthcoming before and after independence why not advocate for breakup this nonexistent entity call Nigeria never do well nation.
I prefer separation than recycling things that never work for over 50 years, and people serious praying for Nigeria while those handling the Government affairs pass and presents never going to allow good things to happen to this country out of their selfish nature and life style in various government position. I pity this country and wish the country break up now and not later so that people can breath fresh air once in their life time because this is real hell on this planet earth nothing seems to be working now tomorrow nor forevermore nothing is going to work anybody telling you is coming to make things workable is just a joker since your bringing same old looters old faces who never see anything reason to make them give chance to the new generation then breakup is the ultimate goal. Just Imagine how selfish they are some cry for restructuring while some castigate it just imagine obasanjo who once rejected restructuring is now campaigning for Atiku, and you tell me Atiku, can in his life time Implement Restructuring in his Government eventually if he wins next year election Nigeria politics is if you know you know, if you don’t you don’t know.

Political Maturity
By Michael Oakeshott ?
(LSE 1/1/41. Typescript with autograph corrections)
Among the peoples of the world some are called ‘politically mature’ and others ‘politically backward’. There is not always agreement as to which people are which, but it is generally accepted that judgments of this kind are not meaningless. No doubt, these judgments are often moral; and when they are so, we must know the moral preferences of the persons making them before we can understand the judgments. They are not, however, always moral judgments; and, indeed, are seldom purely moral. The use of such words as ‘backward’ and ‘mature’ implies that what they are applied to, not merely changes, but develops. It may also often be assumed that the later stages of the development are better than the earlier; but the assumption is not implicit in the mere use of the words. They can be morally neutral, and I intend to use them as if they were. When we say that a thing develops, we may mean no more than that it changes gradually, or we may mean that it changes in a way normal to things of its kind. If we mean only that it changes gradually, we obviously do not imply that, as it changes, it grows mature. Maturation implies a normal order of change; and it can reasonably be doubted whether social institutions change in this way. Nevertheless, owing to the present ascendancy of European doctrines and the spread of industrialism, certain institutions of European origin are nearly everywhere considered more mature, and often also more desirable, than the others. Belief in progress is strong everywhere, in Asia and Africa as well as in Europe and America; and progress is everywhere understood in much the same way. When Asians and Africans claim equality with Europeans, they do not usually mean that their own institutions, before the Europeans intruded upon them, were no better and no worse than anything to be found in Europe; they mean rather that they are just as capable of what Europe calls progress as the Europeans themselves. Political maturity already has, or at least is acquiring, a universal meaning; and that meaning is capacity for self-government in the European sense. Political maturity clearly does not mean capacity for self-government, in no matter what sense. All the tribes of Africa managed their own affairs for centuries before Europeans came to govern them; and yet Europeans justify their supremacy in Africa on the ground that the Africans are not yet capable of governing themselves. If this meant no more than that Africans are not able to govern themselves as Europeans think they ought, it would be a purely European opinion, no more interesting than an African opinion that Europeans cannot govern themselves as Africans think they ought. The Europeans have not, however, merely imposed their rule on the Africans; they have also made it impossible for the Africans to regain independence, and with it the ability to govern
themselves, unless they learn to work European institutions. Africans and Asians, for better or for worse, are, in ever increasing numbers, accepting the European myth of progress. European supremacy, no doubt, rests ultimately on force; but it is a fact not to be denied, and its effects must be accurately described. Since Asians and Africans who most strongly resent European supremacy have to use European methods to get rid of it, they have to accept European institutions and ideas; and since their ability to work those institutions has been questioned on not unreasonable grounds, it is not mere impertinence, but does make sense, to speak of ‘politically backward’ and ‘politically mature’ peoples. And of course, among ‘politically backward’ peoples, it would be necessary to count several of European stock. To be politically mature, that is, to be capable of self-government, is not merely to be able to maintain one’s independence. Indeed, under modern conditions, complete independence is impossible even to so great a Power as Great Britain. By selfgovernment is meant democracy, which is government responsible to the people. Democracy is understood in this sense by the communists just as much as by us; they may differ with us about what methods make democracy possible, but they never deny that it is responsible government. And they, of course, with even less hesitation than we, believe in progress, and are willing to call some peoples ‘backward’ and others ‘mature’. I shall not discuss what methods make democracy possible; I shall assume that Liberals are right and Communists wrong where they differ about this matter. I am interested only in trying to elucidate the concept of political maturity; that is to say, in discovering what qualities a people must possess to have a system of government where final authority rests with persons freely chosen by them and ultimately responsible to them.
