opinion These days the fad of bashing President Obasanjo has become a tiresome trite. His misdeeds and undoing are already a litany and even after escaping the impeachment guillotine, he still just can't seem to stop blundering (the query over surreptitious tampering with foreign reserve is still pending). For me that has twice cogitated with him in the Farm House Dialogue series, the transmogrification of OBJ from an urbane personality to a rigid opinionated person is alarming and a degrading condescension.
