We are left with no choice than to recommend Baba Iyabo for a session with the renowned <a href="http://www.drphil.com/">Dr. Phil</a>. Here Mr. OBJ as he is popularly known in Nigerian will come to terms with the negativity that is frequently directed at him. Remember African leaders have feelings too, they want to be liked and in some cases loved.<br /><br />Dr: Hello Mr Obasanjoor, you are welcome to this show, and we appreciate that you took some time off your busy schedule to talk to us via satellite. We hope to help get to the root of this constant feeling that is bugging you. At the end of this show we hope that you will be in a better place where you can smell the roses and see the bright side of life.<br />OBJ: First of all, My name is Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo, and second of all, I have no interest in smelling any rose, I spend my time on my teak plantations around the country.<br />Dr: There is no need to get aggressive here, we are trying to help you get rid of this demons. We also understand that those Teak plantations have generated a lot of controversy recently. Would you like to tell us a little about those.<br />OBJ: Which plantations? I do not have any plantations.<br />Dr. Okay never mind, I guess that was a mix up. Mr. Obasanjoor your country men accuse you off indirect embezzlement and that you use others as a front to carry out your private business. Some have gone as far as saying you run the country like your own business.<br />OBJ: All those accusations are false and they were concocted by my detractors, those that want to taint my bad name. They leave all the good work I have done and focus on one or two short comings. By the way I said my name is Chief Olusegun Aremu Obasanjoor.<br />Dr: I think you have a shade of passive aggression lurking inside of you just waiting to be let out, so that you can eventually reach that zone of zen which you need so badly.<br />OBJ: Ki lo n so ke?<br />Dr: Pardon me sir.<br />OBJ: I am telling you that I conducted my business fairly and as a good citizen of Nigeria.<br />Dr: Rumours abound that before you became president you had only N20,000 to your name, but now you are the richest farmer in Africa, how did you pull this one off.<br />OBJ: Are you accusing me of stealing? Call all the various members of the foreign press to come and prove any wrong doing to me. Where is that <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Koinange">Koinange</a> boy. I am not answering any more questions. Infact I am furious.<br />Dr: Phil: Hello, Hello, I guess we lost the satellite connection. Well as you can see African leaders are their own worst enemies, they try too hard to defend themselves. They are very suspicious of anybody trying to help. See your next time on the Dr Phil show.</div>Omodudu
