A senior statesman but way beyond the typical leader emulates an institution that has commanded respect at all levels, President Obasanjo was in Houston this weekend for less than 24 hours. Standing strong at 78 and definitely set in his ways, OBJ delivered a riveting yet humorous lecture to the Houston community at Texas Southern University (TSU).

The former President of the Republic of Nigeria made an excellent presentation to a packed student center with dignitaries, ambassadors, students and the community to cheer him on. He touched upon the past, the present and the future of Nigeria and how his support for the new administration is for a better Nigeria.

He has been consistently adamant on the direction Nigeria has to go and the leadership that the nation needs. To lead a country like Nigeria takes more than experience, it takes might and guts. The democracy itself is young but the potential is beyond imaginable. And within 45 minutes, President Obasanjo was able to tell the Houston community how Nigeria can and will move forward.
