The statement made by former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, that God is not to blame for the problem with Nigeria has sparked social media reactions.

GWG writes that the former president had charged President Buhari and other political leaders to desist from attributing the problems of the country to God but they should instead look for a solution.

He said: “We do not have to blame God for our situation, we have to blame ourselves. Nigeria does not have to be poor, no Nigerian must go to bed hungry.

“That we have a situation like this is a choice of our leaders and followers alike, my prayer is that God will make the year 2021 a better year for all of us, but it will not happen without work.

Obasanjo’s stance was against the background of the earlier claim by President Buhari that only God can supervise the Nigeria – Niger border.

The statements have led to reactions from some social media users who compared the administration of Obasanjo to the present government of President Buhari. To some, Obasanjo has no right to talk on national issues since he ruled the country for eight years under civilian rule. Others, however, differed with the assertion that Obasanjo has achieved more than President Buhari. GWG brings some of their views below:

Obasanjo told President Buhari and other Nigerian leaders to stop blaming God for Nigeria’s woes but rather blame themselves, remember Buhari said the "effective supervision of Nigeria’s land borders with the Republic of Niger can only be carried out by God."

WHERE IS THE LIE ?

Obasanjo vs Bubu should not even be a popularity contest. There should be no contest at all. Unless you are being mischievous & naive. You are attacking OBJ, what GSM are you using for that? The debt forgiveness, the economic roadmap. Don’t forget Buhari sunk Nigeria back in debt

Give Buhari 30 more years he won't still meet up with the least of Obasanjo's achievement.
Before you come here to argue this remember Obasanjo worked with best brains those years, Buhari is working with Femi, Bashir, Obin and other intelligent advisers.

It is really hard to live with those that believed Buhari achievements have surpassed that of Obasanjo and Jonathan just because he completed the Lagos to Ibadan railway.
Interesting how they didn't know Jonathan launched most of these projects they are celebrating.

APC minions have launched their attack on Obasanjo this bright and beautiful morning.

A lot of these attack dogs woke up hungrier than yesterday, but they still muster the strength, to support a man whose empty economic policies have castrated their already bleak future.

Obasanjo paid $12bn so Paris Club can write off debt of $18bn .

$30bn debt albatross gone.

Created Excess Crude Account.

OBJ had his flaws but he shouldn't be compared to a wrecking ball https://t.co/yXOY5eosaO

Obasanjo like every other person isn't perfect but to claim he didn't achieve anything as a president is ludicrous!
I'm no longer interested in comparing presidents in Nigeria but thinking that borrowing money from china to run a train eclipses OBJ's achievements is a big fat lie

God bless President Obasanjo for Pension reform.

And thank God it wasn’t the present disaster that took over in 1999, Nigeria would have been dead and buried

Whatever Olusegun Obasanjo says I find it insulting. He served two tenures as president with an affluent economy, nobody could show you a single sector he changed in Nigeria. At least, when people ride on trains they could remember Buhari, what would Obasanjo be remembered for?

OBJ is better than Buhari in all ramifications.
Riddle me this ??
OBJ didn't truncate a democratic government…OBJ handed power over to a democratic government….Now guess who truncated that democratic government ???

Remember Obasanjo for that Android that you're using, and before you think of Buhari for train firstly remember Jonathan that Kickstart the project
