Adeboye Obasanjo: Generals Of The Nigerian Army. Father & Son by Morbeta11(op): 5:54pm On Oct 22, 2025
Generals of the Nigerian Army. Father & Son


The post shares a 2022 photo of retired General Olusegun Obasanjo decorating his son, Brigadier General Adeboye Obasanjo, highlighting their shared legacy as father-son generals in the Nigerian Army's engineering corps.

Obasanjo, Nigeria's former president and military head of state, rose to full general during the Biafran War; his son, an infantry-trained engineer with combat experience, represents one of few such familial successions in the force.

Recent replies query the son's current rank amid speculation of promotion to major general, but sources confirm he remains a brigadier as of October 2025, underscoring public interest in military promotions.

A Brigadier Gen who hasn't fought any battle in his life. He can barely handle an AK47 and I am sure he can't eliminate house rats let alone the deadly band!ts

He was shot during one of his ordeals with Boko Haram. I think he was a Colonel then. He has paid his dues.

This guy is no nonsense guy ,his father had to plead with him to be away from battle fronts..my friends in the army at 82 division speaks highly of him when he was there,he's not a daddy boy ,every contract he's given he make sure he delivered but his seniors fears him because of his father...according to them he said if his father can fight biafra war ,why should he prevent him from fighting terrorists...that guy is a noble officer

Are you referring to the man who was the battle field during the bakasi peninsula saga, he was at the war front during the early days of Boko haram . He was even shot during that time. The man is a real general cool

Try to learn before you act, this same person got shot back then by Boko Haram which he even nearly died, now you opened mouth saying he has never fight wars before.

That's not true, the General fought Boko Haram during their early days and he nearly lost his life to an attack by the terrorist group, they were ambushed during one of the several operations that year...

The younger Obansonjo is combatant Soldier...
