If You Call Me Mathew You Will See My Red Eyes- Obasanjo by chibbyRJ(m): 1:07pm On Jul 18, 2017 |
Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, has stressed that he has dropped Mathew from his names, even though it made it to his birth names, and those calling him that should stop because i am no tax-collector. 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. Source: www.chibbyRJnaija. A doctor mistake often leads to the death of one patient, he said. A lawyer 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.
