Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, has stressed that he has dropped Mathew from his names, even though it made it to his birth names. 

The former Nigerian President who disclosed this at an event organized in his honour by the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) , said he dropped the name because of the Biblical character, Mathew, whom he was named after, was a tax collector. 



“When I was born, my mother and father decided to name me Matthew. I grew up being called and addressed Matthew. What is the meaning of Matthew in the Bible? He was a tax collector,” he said.

“So, when I grew up, I dropped Matthew from my name. If anyone does not want to see my eyes red, no one should call me Matthew again. People ask, what is in a name? For me, there is so much in a name.”

“A doctor’s mistake often leads to the death of one patient,” he said.

“A lawyer’s mistake leads to the client going to jail. But if an engineer makes a mistake that leads to the collapse of a bridge or house, many people would lose their lives.


“That is why engineers must be very careful and must be efficient not to allow mistakes to be made.”

How did he build his mighty Obasanjo library? Was it not through forced collection of tax from governors, ministers etc when he was president? Matthew should not deceive us. The leopard can not change its spots.

He was a tax collector, before Jesus called him to be his disciple and from there, he became a powerful apostle of christ, bringing souls to christ and laying down the foundations of the early church, Mathew changed the world, and not only down God used him to write a gospel in the Bible that is named after him.

MATHEW IS ONE THE MOST POPULAR AND SUCCESSFUL MEN IN HISTORY

Foolish man, Mathew was a tax collector but his encounter with Christ made him a saint. I am sure you dropped the name b'cos you don't want the saintly part of Mathew to be imbedded in your day to day life style. No wonder you looted Nigeria dry, we have seen the searchlight you launched in the space, even the $60mil for electricity was well SPENDED by you. At the end you wiped Odi and Zakibiam, gave Nigeria Boko Haram in 2002 and raped your daughter inlaw to coma.

Hmmm!!! Did Obasanjo say that his father and mother named him Matthew? Obasanjo has no surname and did not even know his biological father who was an Ivorian that came to Ogun State to farm.

Name means a lot, ex-president was really a tax collector. Its 16 Billions dollars & not16 Millions dollars. I think if anyone take a green leaves close to his eyes now the fire will be wild like during harmattan.

Nonsense! Is that the meaning if the name?

English form of Ματθαιος (Matthaios), which was a Greek form of the Hebrew name מַתִּתְיָהוּ (Mattityahu) meaning "gift of YAHWEH"

He has a point though.. Names mean a lot..whatever rocks his boat
He has no point. In fact, he lacks the ability to think properly. How is a tax collector a bad person. If tax collecting is bad, how would that make Matthew a bad name?
