President Obasanjo Enrols As Theology Student Of National Open University

President Olusegun Oba-sanjo yesterday made good his earlier decision to acquire more knowledge by matriculating into the School of Arts and Social Sciences of  the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), where he is the visitor, thus making history by becoming the first serving leader of any country in the world to enroll into an open university in his own country.

This fact was disclosed by the Vice Chancellor of the NOUN, Professor Olugb-emiro Jegede, in his opening address when he stated that the transformation of President Obasanjo to Student Obasanjo bears unparallel significance in the history of education, not only in Africa but, world wide.

"Our President has become the first in many respects. While inventory of serving heads of state/government who have taken open and distance learning courses is still being confirmed, it is interesting to note that whereas President Nelson Mandela (South Africa) and President Robert Mugabe (Zimbabwe) took their degree through ODL before becoming Heads of State and Prime Minister Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia graduated with an MBA through UKOU in 1996, no serving head of state anywhere in the world has enrolled into an open university in his country".

At a special matriculation ceremony held in the State House, the President who emphasised that in exactly six months' time as he hands over to a new President he would simply be known and addressed as "student Olusegun Obasanjo" with pledge to "refrain from any act calculated to disrupt the activities of the University or likely bring the it into disrepute."

Thanks a lot Alarinka.

Nigerians think its fun insulting OBJ, he has always been there for this country both as a soldier and as a civilian. Though his government may not have been a very perfect democracy but he should be proud of himself
*As a soldier he rescued us from a bitter war
*As a soldier he rescued us from the then army and gave us democracy
*As a civilian he has rescued Nigeria from a pariah state to a work-in-progress
*As a civilian he has offered Nigerians an opportunity to take back Nigeria from the cabal of elites that have held us hostage for so long and be free in 2007 if only we can be focussed

Those who can't match his credentials are trying to make him seem worthless.
I will not argue about your achievement anymore but when you quit office come may 2007 hold your head up high knowing that 10 years from now Nigerians will look back in history and say thanks Baba. I will surely tell my grand children about you and Ribadu.

Happy Studies my GENERAL
