Vanillaskin:
A library without books, is that one library huh
They should just tell us it's a museum
IamGoke:
Is this a library or a museumhuh

Couldn't find a book shelf!
Ahmeduana:
Is it a museum, junk room or zoo? Because I didn't see a single book not even under my watch!
aybabz101:
is it Obasanjo's museum or a digital library coz i am not seeing any book ooooooooo........abi d books dey d oda room ni?
sophoccles:
As much as I admire Olusegun Obasanjo's personality, his charisma & his drive to continuously improve himself and expand his horizons alongside that of those fortunate to be around him, I think his politics is extremely execrable.

One question for the OP though: Where the hell are the books? This seems to be more of a museum than a library.
Nickydrake:
This exquisite library, built with money squeezed out of wealthy businessmen and rotten politicians eager for favours during Baba's tenure, contains everything in the world except books.
Royruky:
Can't find a single bookshelf. It seems more of a museum or art gallery to me. Definitely not a library
olisaemeka1:
modified .........Inside former president Olusegun Obasanjos presidential private museum. ...Op take note....
Balkan:

mosesjida:
waoh...an architectural master plan..bt this is more of an art exhibition museum than jxt a library..bt I guess I now understand wat d "presidential" now means in the name..nice place though
TeejayMaya:
I personally feel this is more of a Resort and Museum than just a library or art gallery. Should have been named Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Resort & Museum.

So beautiful and massive tho needs much publicity and marketing to drive in more visitors and tourists. With this and other tourist destinations in the country such as Obudu Cattle Ranch, Tinapa among others, I see no reason why the country shouldn't be racking in huge revenue from tourism honestly.
naturefellow:
my mind exactly!
sinkhole:
You are right there in my brain
GoldNiagara:
Looks more to me like a personal museum! Where are the books.
I hope this helps.

Presidential libraries are called libraries because they contain official papers like bills, letters, memos, maps, diaries, etc. that were written or signed by the president when he was in office. They also usually contain minutes that were written by the president's aides and other official communication that was written to the president. They also usually contain books and other pieces of writing that were written by the president before he assumed office or after he left office. (President Carter's library contains a minute by minute diary of his trip to Nigeria in 1978 https://www.jimmycarterlibrary.gov/ ).

These libraries are usually established so that students of political science, history, public administration and other scholars can easily find material about the president's tenure for their research work. It also helps current politicians to get a first hand view of the problems that former presidents faced and see how they tackled those problems.

However, presidential libraries are not just book libraries. They are more like museums. They usually contain the limousine the president used when he was in office, the clothes he wore while he was in office, pictures of the president's trips to foreign countries, pictures of visits of foreign leaders, pictures of momentous occasions during the former president's tenure (assassination or assassination attempts, famous treaties, etc.) and basically virtually everything that someone might want to know about the president.

And of course the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library has lots of books. Someone has already referred to the books in the library (see below).

mhizv:
Was really impressed, esp when we got to the section,which had everything he used while in jail.

And original copies (hand wrtten)of books he wrote while in jail..
Deomelo has already posted pictures of some of the books (and I'm going to post more). You can see Obasanjo's book "Nzeogwu" in Deomelo's pictures below and you can also see Obasanjo giving book gifts to some of the visitors to the library.

The Obasanjo Presidential Library also has lots of research centres, for example the Centre For Human Security and these centres hold seminars and conduct researches. the papers from these seminars and research works are stored in the presidential library.

Apart from Obasanjo's famous books (Nzeogwu, My Command, Not My Will and My Watch), the library also has lots of children's story books that were written by Obasanjo, for example, the "12 Tortoise" series of story books".

In the pictures below you can see some of the books from the Obasanjo Presidential Library that were exhibited at the Lagos Book And Arts Festival. You can also see President Obasanjo showing Bola Tinubu and Ibikunle Amosun some of the maps and documents in the library. There's also a picture of President Obasanjo reading his story book to children while donating some of the books in the library to a school.

It has come to the notice of the Atiku Media Office that there is a statement purportedly attributed to His Excellency @Atiku Abubakar currently making the rounds on social media.

We wish to state for the records that the purported statement aimed at pitching the Waziri Adamawa against the National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, PDP NEC, PDP Governors and stakeholders of the PDP party is contrived and baseless.

For the avoidance of doubt, Atiku Abubakar enjoys excellent relationship with Prince Uche Secondus, the Party's NEC and all serving PDP Governors and stakeholders of the party.

Big lie about the dark Knight part

First of dark knight don't race in Lagos, they operate in abuja and the only time they race in Lagos is if the event is organized e.g revs and runways or eleko motor race

Secondly they are into drifting and show offs, they own drift league

Thirdly they don't operate in the midnight and even if lots of people will be around and not in Lagos, Lagos road are too narrow

Lately driving under the influence of alcohol isn't allowed, drinking of energy drink yes is allowed or smoking.
Don't involve dark knight am a big fan

Is Nweke meaningless?


Better meaning, you say? We know Nweke means 'son of Eke', so what is the meaning of Lawrence?
He wrote "Laurence", which is the original form of the name. Laurence = a man from Laurentum.

The name Laurentum is believed to have been derived from Laurel. Laurel wreaths or crowns indicate honour, distinction and fame.
