  Obasanjo is not a motivator, and his level of reading can only be described as that of a third grade kid.
  Our people, due to lack of wisdom, believed in the"big man", but not all big men are intelligent.
  At Ghana @ 50, Obasanjo deeply disappointed me as a guest speaker.
  
  On acoustics, the Avery Fisher hall, the home for the New York philharmonic orchestra, was pulled down and acoustic engineers were consulted to rebuild it.
  We can not have universities and everything around them lack intelligence. Case in point, in 1998, friends of mine visited the KNUST, and saw the swimming pool full of weeds, and as builders, that was hard for them to swallow for a college that has a school of civil engineering.
  Got ma point?

  I cannot understand these Ghanaian people at all. All I can say that they are sick in the head, I mean what can you say of people that are really infatuate with nigerians. Ghanaians eat and drink and even think nigerians daily.
  
  They are like an alcholic addicted to alcohol. Nigeria is Ghana food. They need to talk about nigeria daily before they do anything.
  
  There is not a single mention of Ghana or Ghanaian in nigeria media
  
  These people are really sick indeed that you cannot get a loan from a bank in Ghana to start business but you can get a loan for a funeral.
  
  Even banks knows that they are so stupid that they can't use their brain to start a business
  
  Only in Ghana is when everybody copies the same business. Second hand clothing business and boutiques with fake imported rubbish Chinese goods is what they call business. This kind of rubbish are everywhere.
  
  Another so called business is small scale corner hotels that all prices are quoted in United States dollars in an African country. Shameless stupid people.
  
  They will never look after their family when alive and then after the person died, they want a big funeral to make money. Funeral is a business in Ghana ..evil shittty people. I will save some more for any assholes reply. Don't worry I know more of you dirty secret.
  
  From going to shrine to curse people with eggs and schnapps and married women fucking around with men and even nowadays lesbianism..
  
  Will soon post on you tube.. Stupid people always think that they are an angels meanwhile they are snake under the green grass. At least Nigerians don't pretend or deny anything you accused them of. Cowards will always pretends. No wonder you will always be second rate citizen in your own country taken over by foreigners.

  Look who's talking? Destroying Ghana my foot. How many jobs have you in your entire miserable life created in Ghana ? What have you or anyone else in your entire miserable shitty life done for your country apart from talk talk talk on ghanaweb. Typical Ghanaian, all mouth no action.
  
  You actually think just by being ghanaian is enough? No idiot, you are as useless as an aponkye if you don't know.
  
  Contribute to your country constructively by actually go out there and create jobs that you can't create for your country men thereby nigerians and other foreigners do.
  
  Stop being jealous and envious. You will die of envyness very soon. Sakawa? I can tell you how many Ghanaians in techimantia and other brong region are doing sakawa. Is sakawa a Nigerian word? You are so stupid to realise that do you?
  
  Don't worry I will tell you how so many people in ghanaian villages are into juju and sakawa. Sleeping with snakes and some other stuff.
  
  You blame others for your problems apart yourself.
  
  I just can't wait for the day ghanaian government to ask nigerians to leave and I will see how many billions of dollars will be taking away and your cedis will become what it was few years ago. Zimbabwe will be even better.
  
  And you will see other foreign investors running to invest in Ghana. Believe me when this happens, Ghanaians will be flocking even to Togo and benin to look for jobs.

  Hahaha Smart Nigerians are busy owning everything in Ghana, from banks, shopping malls, cinemas, 5 star hotels, boutiques, shops, petrol stations, oil companies, airlines, construction companies etc while our sorry ass ghanain brothers are lazing about about and blaming Nigerians for their problems.
  
  Meanwhile, their doctors has been on strike in Ghana for many weeks now and dozens of sick people are dying in ghana hospitals daily including pregnant women.
  
  While Nigerians are flooding Ghana market with Made in Nigerian products, the only ghana product u see in Nigeria is apeteshi bitters??? Isnt that an insult? Why are ghanaisn too lazy? But they claim to hv good schools in ghana, so what do they teach them in schools? Do they teach you black apes how to born bastard children everywhere? Meanwhile they claim Nigerian schools are poor yet in Africa we product some of the best scientists, actors, actresses, novelists etc. Even some Nigerian school drop outs like Innoson is building cars and buses that are already plying Ghanaian roads while the so called well educated ghana men are busy making plenty babies with different women? Is this a curse or what?
  
  Look around you in Ghana 60% of all expensive flashy cars are owned by Nigerians. We own and live in the most expensive houses in Ghana, drive the most expensive cars and fuk their best and most educated girls, this is why these short ghana boys hate us with passion...
  
  Even 419 scam we introduced to Ghana is feeding millions of Ghanians directly and indirectly. Ghana boys used to drive only 1998 made Toyota cars bc they are too poor to afford expensive cars. Today Ghana boys can afford to buy range rover sports from their 419 scam proceeds. What has Ghana given to Nigeria or Africa apart from alomo bitters and their cheap proosstitutes?
  
  Everyday they claim they will chase Nigerians away but they are gutless they cant try it they are afraid it will ruin their economy. They forgot Nigerians control over 35% of Ghana economy. They forgot if they try it we will cut our gas line, they wont have cooking gas again, their electricity will become more epileptic, we will cut our satellite submarine cables so Ghanians wont have internet access to RANT ON THE INTERNET again. Then we will move all our banks, insurance companies etc and Ghana will be worst than Zimbabwe. THESE ARE FACTS...
  
  REMEMBER: Nigerians will never leave Ghana on trailers or lorries, NEVER. Rather, we Nigerians will return to Nigeria on our private jets, international airlines, range rover sports, hummer jeeps, Rolls Royce Phantom etc. REMEMBER, When we chased Ghanians out of Nigeria ghanaians were packed in lorries like tomatoes hahaha. YOU SHOULD GET TO THE LEVEL OF IVORY COAST AND SENEGAL FIRST BEFORE WE CAN TAKE YOU SERIOUS. A country where over 85% of the population are bastard children from bastards. I mean, I have more than 200 friends in Ghana from all regions of Ghana. Out of which, 190 have either step brother or step sister or step father or mother. What kind of country is this? A country where an average girl will make 4 children from 4 different men before the age of 25??? In Ghana bastard has no real meaning, it is the culture of ghanaians to born bastard children everywhere. In Nigeria if you born out of wedluck nobody will marry you bc you are second hand. But in Ghana if you are up to 25 and you never born 3 babies from different men you never start.
  
  Don't you realize that Nigeria is Ghanas newest colonial masters? Otherwise tell me why there are Nigerian flags in every big shop in Ghana including hotels, boutiques, restaurants, car shops and even drinking spots. All over Ghana you will see Nigerian made products everywhere including Nigerian made cement, gala, drugs, la casera, bathing soaps and cream, noddles etc. 75% of prescription drugs in Ghana carry NAFDAC numbers, I dont know why. Turn around again you will see lots of Nigerian banks, insurance companies, airlines, IT companies, hotels, churches, nite clubs etc.THE ONLY WORLD CLASS CINEMA IN GHANA IS OWNED BY A NIGERIAN, SILVERBIRD GROUP...
  
  YOU SHORT APES FROM GHANA HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RANT ON THE INTERNET SIMPLY BECAUSE NIGERIA GAVE YOU INTERNET BACKBONE, WITHOUT NIGERIANS SAT3 SUBMARINE CABLE AND MAIN ONE CABLE GHANIANS CANNOT ACCESS THE INTERNET. This means if we shut down our submarine cables today Ghanaians will not have internet access again because every internet facility in Ghana is routed through Nigerian networks. THESE ARE FACTS...
  
  THEREFORE, WITH THE POWER BESTOWED ON ME AS THE EZE ORA NILE 1 OF UMUAFRIKA, I HEREBY UNILATERALLY, AUTHORITATIVELY AND OFFICIALLY DECLARE GHANA AS NIGERIAS NEWEST COLONY...

  OH, please! Are we ever going to get real and deal with the vexatious leadership issues that have bedeviled an entire continent and stagnated its progress and development for over half a century? Asking the notoriously corrupt septuagenarian Olusegun Obasanjo to talk about good leadership in Africa is like asking Lucifer to give a lecture on faith or asking the pig to talk about the merits of a good hygiene regimen. Was it a botched attempt to air brush african political history or was it meant to legitimize the illegitimate Obasanjo we know or was the lecture gone awry the "thank you" gesture from the Mahama UDS surrogates to the other man from Abeokuta for his shameless declaration of election 2012 as free and fair? Obasanjo has a track record that is unforgetable and If this UDS campus Obasanjo lecture was a joke then it was incongruous with polite conversation and if it was a plan then it was incongruous with reason.

  For somebody complaining about the poor performance of the university and the guest speaker, you shouldn't, yourself, be caught writing an article full of grammatical errors and omissions. You should have properly read through your piece and corrected the slips before sending it on.
  
  As for Obasanjo, he has never been known as a great speaker. He is a soldier through and through who fought in the Nigerian civil war and to whom the Biafran forces surrendered. He is a very dour figure and no one expects him to deliver a rousing speech. But if the audience couldn't hear even what he had to say, that is the arranger's fault with the acoustics. Your title does, therefore, Obasanjo a disservice since it was not his fault that you didn't hear him.
  
  But the lecture should be available in other forms and on record and can be judged for what it's worth.

  To start with,this writer has not told us what his pain was,is it that it was Obasanjo that gave the maiden speech of that he hates Nigerians? I want Ghanaians to know that we Nigerians monitors your vituperations against the hands that has been feeding you for the past 3 decades,we have also noted your eloquent presidents in their oratorical prowess and their diction usage,we have also marveled at the Ghanaian intelligence and Ghanaians command of English language which sometimes I must confess acts as comic relief anytime I am bored,the venom I see in some Ghanaian comments cannot be anything other thing than mental backwardness and wickedness.One day all these will become a determinant for our relationship,this hatred must be accounted for one day when the chickens will come home to roost,those that govern Ghana know and understand that the value of Nigeria to the survival of this country but riff raffs and low lives like many on this forum will never see the light.A certain bird Nwaneke Ntukukpa after feeding fat challenged his guardian angel to a fight,his guardian angle allowed it to fret and pounce all over and after 3 hours,it became hungry and came back crawling and begging his guardian angel for food,the guardian angel simply picked it up and threw him away.Nigeria can only grow bigger and move towards taking her rightful place in the world,it is just remaining a small time and our detractors will be ashamed,we are monitoring everything on the continent.Be properly advised

  Not long ago there want a single Nigerian commenting on ghanaweb. They always insulting nigerians until a ghanaian friend of my told me about ghanaweb . Nowadays there are more and more nigerians invading ghanaweb. Spread the words and in a few months Ghanaians will not even be able to comment cause there will be too many nigerians here, I promise.
  
  What actually annoys me about them is that they pretends as if they are so good and are not capable of any crimes. They blame everything on nigeria. These are same people are I know in and out.
  
  These are people that can kill anyone for stupid reason like a piece of land that you cannot even build a toilet on or boyfriend and girlfriend snatching.
  
  I know at least 4 Ghanaians murdered by these so called angels for stupid reasons with juju by cursing them at shrines with eggs and alcohol drinks. As I'm talking to you now I'm going to a Ghanaians funeral today of a fantastic and most charming and nicest Ghanaian poisoned by her own family while visiting Ghana because of her wealth.
  
  They threatened her not to come home and she did and an healthy young person poisoned in Ghana and was rushed back here from Ghana for medical attention but she died after a while cause the poison has penetrated through all her vital organs.
  
  Another guy that I know, his father killed his own wife after he actually said he will kill her for daring to fight him over a piece of junk land. She vomited blood from mouth and ears. This was someone who was healthy.
  
  I know so much that I can give away now because people knows about them.
  
  Ghanaians stop behaving like angels because you are not. What ever you accuses nigerians of you guys are much more capable of doing the same or even worse.
  
  Sooner or later a lot of stupid nigerians that loves Ghana and Ghanaians will soon realise that you actually hate them.
  
  Yes we are watching our enemies. Despite our problems, we are still doing fantastically economically hence all the tactics of creating more wealth for nigerians by investing in other countries to bring profit home. It's not only in ghana we have presence, just like other developed countries , we are investing everywhere all over the world.
  
  It's not easy to be no2 in Africa by GDP after South Africa. Despite our problems. Believe me, it will be solved in Jesus name and our enemies will be put to shame. Eko Atlantic is coming.....
