Roasted corn reminds me of Obasanjo as a president during his tenure, he stopped his convoy in other to buy roasted corn along federal housing lugbe, Abuja, the woman was very happy to see president of Nigeria buying roasted corn from her, OBJ bought 300 naira corn and he gave the woman 500 naira, the woman was shocked when OBJ asked of the 200 naira change, believe me Baba collected his 200 Naira change before he left.
