According to DailyOnus, there was near pandemonium and confusion at the Annual Global African Investment Forum held in Westminster, Central London after a heated exchange between Ghana’s President John Mahama and former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo degenerated into open insults.
This was due to General Obasanjo openly accusing the Ghanaian president and his government of blackmailing and collecting bribes from Nigerian businessmen in Ghana, buying numerous properties in Nigeria and South Africa and financially contributing 12 million dollars to Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign last year.
This infuriated President Mahama who lost his temper and pointing his finger , called General Obasanjo an ” idiot” and a “stupid buffoon” .It took other ministers present as well as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni to calm tempers and usher President Mahama to a nearby room.
The forum, which takes place from 1st to 3rd December is attended by African Heads of States Ministers ,Private equity firms and investors to discuss opportunities for investment and development in African Economies.

Obasanjo Has become a big disgrace for Nigeria and indeed Africa. He is one of the biggest problem of Nigeria. How did Jonathan become President in the first place. Obasanjo wants to play God. A man that cannot control his household. A man that could not deliver his constituency. Obasanjo has nevr rose beyond mediocrity. Above all he is slimy. He is a shameless old man who has brought Nigeria more shame than honour. He should return and stay in Otta forms. He is best to deal with Animals not human.
Evil begets evil. Insult will also beget insult. Obasanjo drew the first blood. It was in decorous to hurl insults on a serving head of state of another nation in public forum like that. Ghana President reacted appropriately. Obasanjo should learn not only to respect himself but give honour to whom honour is due.
