Former President Olusegun Obasanjo is undoubtedly a lively, happy, and jovial man. A trending video circulating online captures two amusing moments from his private 88th birthday dinner, held on March 2, 2025, at The Delborough Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos.

One of the highlights of the evening was a playful exchange between Obasanjo and former minister Oby Ezekwesili. Oby had asked Obasanjo to say "thank you," to which he responded, "Have I not said thank you?" She then teasingly insisted, "You say, ‘Dear, I thank you very much.’" Amused, Obasanjo playfully knocked her on the head before finally saying, "Thank you very much," sparking laughter from the crowd.

Another hilarious moment saw Obasanjo handing out slices of cake directly from his palm, much like one would share treats with children. Guests found the gesture both amusing and endearing, adding to the lively atmosphere of the event.

The celebration was attended by several notable figures, including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi; Razaq Akanni Okoya, founder of Eleganza Group, and his wife, Shade; former Imo State Governor Emeka Ihedioha; businessmen E-Money, Obi Cubana, and Cubana Chief Priest; former Sierra Leonean President Ernest Bai Koroma; Obasanjo’s longtime political associate, former President Goodluck Jonathan, and his wife, Patience; former Vice President Atiku Abubakar; and former Senate President Bukola Saraki and his wife, Toyin Saraki, among others.

Nothing funny here—the only amusing ones are the online keyboard warriors, watching their favorites enjoy quality time together instead of opposing each other.

Sometimes,you expect evil people not to live long but on the contrary you see them living like Metusella

I just like this man, 88yrs and still young

Keep sating the truth to power sir. Although they never seem to humble themselves to hear

HBD baba Iyabo. Our best president.
During ur time minimum wage fit buy plenty bags of rice.
During ur time workers could afford cars and houses.
Nigerians started getting handsets during ur time.
U treat everyone's fvkup even if the person is a pdp member unlike wat we have 2day. U can kill and steal the country as long as ur an apc member and nothing will happen.

Thunder fire those APC bastard Agbadorians that will come here to insult u. Everybody wan kpai in just 2yrs of their slave master's regime.

Ebora Owu !

It pays to be good.
Brovs, I won't lie to you, I'm starving seriously. I wouldn't mind someone reaching out to me.

Happy birthday to ebora ewu

See the fondness between Oby and OBJ, someone like natasha will wake up one morning and call it sexual harassment, even though it happened in public,

May baba live to see his 100 birthday just like Jimmy Carter.
