Former Nigeria president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed that he was born to “pure illiterate parents” while telling the story of how he was raised to prominennce by God’s grace to lead Nigeria two times.

According to IgbereTV reports, the former President said this on Thursday at the annual thanksgiving service organised in his honour by the Ogun State Chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).

He said, “Those of you who know where I was born, how many of you know Ibogun-Olaogun? The village where I was born is so small that no matter how large you make the map of Nigeria, Ibogun-Olaogun will never appear.

“And yet, somebody born in that village of pure illiterate parents, will have the opportunity that I have now; to reach the stage that I have reached to be used to achieve whatever I have been used to achieve, I cannot thank God enough.

“I always say this; whatever I have achieved, whatever I have done, I thank God because it is not me alone, there are those who have worked with me, some of them are dead, some of them are still alive and without them, I will not have been able to achieve much. On occasions like this, let us just thank God and keep thanking God.”

The Bishop of Egba Anglican Diocese, Rt. Revd. Emmanuel Adekunle, in his sermon, urged Nigerians to get ready to tackle the problems that may arise in the new year saying “things are hard all over the world, it is not only in Nigeria that things are not working well.”

While speaking, Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State described Obasanjo as a God-fearing leader whose life is worthy of emulation, saying “We all know and appreciate that God doesn’t make and didn’t make many like Baba and I’m sure that God is not probably going to make anyone like him.”

Thank God for your life.

I commend and admonish this man same time.

Commend him for the effort he put towards unity and nation building, and also working with the best minds when he was president.

Admonish him for the role he played in destroying Nigeria; looting Nigeria’s funds for personal gain, promoting high level fraud and violence (do or die politics) in our electoral system, most of which have become the order of the day.

No matter what though, there’s no leader worse than the disaster we have as leader today, the tyrant himself.

Quarter to grave.
Baba give your life to God.
Make restitution while still alive baba

To him that have ears, let him hear

Obasanjo has really come a long way ...

Majority of the most successful people today are also born to poor parents

And some are like Dangote.

The card you pick is your card.

Obasanjo is 100 times better than Buhari.. I would pick a dead Obasanjo to rule Nigeria than a living Buhari..

Obasanjo is the father of modern Nigeria, yes he might have his ups and downs but this man is an enigma to the Nation political scene.

EBORA OF OWU.. may you live long
