These are some of the things the women, I am sure, would have loved to hear from Obasanjo, not how Obasanjo saved billions in foreign reserves but would not even rebuild the Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta Road leading to his Ota farm, on which hundreds died almost on a daily basis because it was in a very bad state. But, Obasanjo would not delve into such argument because he would not be able to defend his abysmal records in most of those areas. So, every time he speaks, he would choose his own topic, define his own rules of engagement and proceed to blab about his own greatness or that of anything he has ever done in his life that only he can see. I wager that South West women generally, not just market women, are better off with Jonathan than they were with Obasanjo or hope to be under a Buhari Presidency. This is because they carry out their businesses more easily and conveniently now because the roads are better today than they were while Obasanjo reigned; they can boast husbands and or children who can hope to access cheap federal funds to fund their businesses; they have farmer husbands who have easier access to subsidized farm inputs, including fertilizer and improved seedlings now than they ever hoped to enjoy in their life-time as farmers; they have sons and daughters who are witnessing and benefitting from expanding job opportunities in the agricultural and real sectors because there is steady growth in these areas, among others.
