    If obj wanted to give his life for nigeria, why did he come out of abacha's gulag alive? He could have died and shown abacha for the evil man he was. So obj won the war in Biafra, and was injured. When was he injured, was it driving a convoy and was ambushed. Or was he crawling on the floor with his rifle, side by side with adekunle's troops 3rd Marines, with his big fat stomach??. Was he injured running up or down a hill taking the objective with his troops, with his big fat stomach? A man that in military school failed even marching drills?? Lets face it this man is no war general, his good luck is that he is a political animal ready opportunist, and lacks principles to steal other people’s achievements. You have noticed the very two people obj cannot talk about or give his dues to are:

    1. Benjamin Adekunle (black scorpion)
    2. MKO Abiola - another stolen mandate.

    All these fools talking about vote him out, how do you vote anyone out when all the elections are rigged, idiots? The other point, if nigeria cannot exists without obj, can we have a constitutional amendment to state that as long as obj is alive, no-one else can nigeria, and as soon as obj dies, we will disband nigeria peacefully, as the glue, and messiah is dead.

    Let’s just not mess around with 3rd term, 4th, 5th term...just say life term and last president in constitution, save us all the bullshit distractions.

    I support Adekunle/Ojukwu ticket in 2007, it will sweep the South.
    Remember free and fair AGPA will sweep South-East and AD west. It can
    win some Middle Belt states. Do not forget Benjamin Adekunle whose
    mother is from North and married in East.

    My choice of choice -Adekunle/Ojukwu ticket because - reconciliation and rehabilitation ticket.

    The man of action Adekunle will industrialize Nigeria in 24 months.
    Power, Infrastructure, Bureaucracy. Look my aunt was stationed with
    3rd Marines in Port Harcourt during the war and she endorses the
    fearsome man up and down. Look at his records at the ports, he has no
    equal in Nigerian military record even Abacha who jailed Baba had
    respect and awe of General Adekunle. The greatest military strategist
    and man of action of our time. 90 % of military ranks in awe of
    Benjamin Adekunle, even US teach his military maneuvers of Niger Delta
    fame in the US War College. Nigeria needs, rapid revolution and
    industry. OBJ and others feared to do it, Benjamin Adekunle will
    complete it as the greatest living Nigerian Patriot. He will have no
    love for Oyinbo. The man is proud of his race. 10 points -

    1.No sacred cows- war on corruption by Benjamin Adekunle govt will be
    like MurtalaX10. He will jail all looters and squandmania.

    2. Adekunle will put the fear of God in the Shariaists and have
    Sovereign National conference.

    3. Adekunle is the peoples champion, will work for the masses - a TRUE
    Nigerian.

    4. No more business as usual real war on corruption will start.

    5. Adekunle will recover our stolen loots to industrialize with
    efficient, discipline govt.

    6. Nigeria Army politics ambition will be at check, and Nigeria strong.

    7. Regions - Adekunle will loosen the center as he has called for
    confederation loose center.

    8. Niger Delta - you may have your 50% derivation, look at his statements.

    9. North - you will not get Sharia but you will get development, and
    freedom, like Middle Belt.

    10.West - You will shine on the world stage, the greatest General of
    our times is at the helms, and MKO will be memorialized.


    East is a special case. - East you may recover your abandoned
    properties - Let us bury the past. Nigeria is bigger than Biafra, 2007
    is about Nigeria and the future of our generations. Please let us not
    believe propaganda tactic in time of war because even US do that.
    Press is tool in any war battle. Please deal with the merit and not
    slander. Because it will not stand. We will fight you to the finish.
    No doubt you call it adekunleists or adekunlelites, this is bigger
    than Biafra, we can as well send you into the Niger if you refuse
    respect. OBJ killed more civillian(10,000) in peace as Adekunle killed in full military scale war. Time for man of action is here, to jump start the dying nation. OBJ failed, Abacha, Babangida, Buhari, Shagari, Gowan etc, have failed.

    One word on Okonjo-Iweala, Will we hand World Bank and IMF - Soludo
    the keys of Aso Rock?. Can they stand against their master of World
    Bank, IMF the West who nurse them. NO! It is not about Dr. from
    Harvard who is corrupt with treason. We are patriotic how will be
    neo-colonize again?? Can she tame North and military adventure?

    Instead add General Katangora, even Col. Uba Ahmed who would make a
    good defense chief under Adekunle ticket. Please we cannot mention
    mere jonnylate like Kalu, Odilli, Duke, Ribadu for where? It is not
    youth, look the OBJ administration is rot from Aso rock to bottom.

    Even try, choose between IBB, Buhari, Atiku or The Black Scorpion who is the core general with strong heart and discipline making Nigeria
    one with 3rd Marine Commando. No doubt as the General Adekunle handed
    over 3rd Marines to OBJ without lifting finger, so after OBJ failed
    3rd term wayo at senate, he must hand over to Adekunle to heal the
    nation, a man who has toughness to deal with failures and threat in a
    free and fair election. If OBJ get impeach Adekunle can as well head
    transition govt before fair election to sweep PDP from power.

    Let us start grass roots campaign and draft General Adekunle, he can
    denied his ambition but will not if the peoples wish to perform one
    more time for Nigeria, and give us a nation of our choice. He will
    win hands down without any other candidate of his stature. He will
    even beat OBJ at the pole. Write all Nigeria media to help us draft
    the man of action. I don't mind starting a chapter in CA in USA, let
    us begin. Our future depends on our ACTION!

    2007: Benjamin Adekunle is OUR MAN!


    To quote our hero- Benjamin Adekunle "I am ready for a jolly good showdown"

    Ogundele, of course as you are a tribalist you would have wanted Adekunle.

    Don't even try and threaten to push us in the Niger.

    This is supposed to be un-threatening but you just threatened 40 million people, are you mad - you signed your name !!
