She wrote a book about the problems that they went through. She had a terrible time when he was head of state. That (the problems) might be the reason why she didn't play the role of first lady.

If someone ask you for the book's reference now, you won't respond

Bittersweet,
My life with obansajo

victorjoe:


I learnt Stella was the only person visiting him when he was jailed by Abacha. She was the only person running around talking to people to help get him out. As God would have it, Abacha died and he was released and ran for president. So he chose her.

I don't know if it's true but that's what I heard back then.

VERY TRUE - everyone abandoned him there thinking he was finished, but he got his freedom and fortune smiled on him - Stella was rumored to have slept with 1 or 2 top ranking officers of the Abacha junta just to prevail on them to get OBJ released, just like Sefinatu did for Buhari when Buhari was locked up at the Officer's mess at 4th Mechanized Brigade in Benin City

BUHARI was freed 3 years (1985 - 1988) later - heard about what Sefinatu did for him and divorced her, hated her and shamed her.

OBASANJO was freed 3 years later (1995 -1998) - heard about what Stella did for him BUT kept her, loved her and exalted her.

spot the difference and see who got a big heart!

Title of the book pls, it will be an interesting read

The Nation newspaper March-July 2008

Sirjamo:
Obasanjo's duties as president for eight years were:


Removing governors

Removing Senate presidents

Killing civilians in Zaki biam and Odi

Giving shoot at sight orders


Cracking jokes






I AM DONE TALKING

granting sharia to 12 Northern states

Obasanjo and his useless family.

Obasanjo deserve to go to prison.
He spent sixteen billion dollars to buy darkness.

Obasanjo had the capacity and capability to lead Nigeria to modernity but he preferred this present type of Nigeria.
Shame on him.
He is a cursed human being.

Don't you think he's at least better than the clueless one that is there now.

And he started what now turned to what you are using to send insult.

Is Oluremi still alive?

patwilly:

Is Oluremi still alive?

Yes, I believe she's still alive.


(Your question has reminded me of a rumour about someone else, but I can't remember the rumour very well so I won't repeat it).

naptu2:


They had divorced before 1999. It was a very stormy marriage.


(The reason that I remember the issue of the divorce is because of the crazy rumour that was circulating back then . The rumour was that Obasanjo appeared in court for the divorce proceedings and he was asked if he wanted to swear with the bible or Quran and he replied that he would prefer to swear with a cutlass because he was a traditional religionist. I'm much older now and I don't think the rumour is true).

She wrote a book about her problems and suffering when Obasanjo was head of state and I read a bit of the book in the 2000s.


Basically she said that Obasanjo had two wives, Oluremi and Stella, but he had a lot of affairs with other women and it was those affairs that caused the problems.

She named some of the women in that book, while she described the ones that she didn't name and she described them in a way that people would know who they were.


She wrote about the times that he brought women to stay in the guest houses at State House Dodan Barracks, the many fights that they had over the children (Obasanjo once sent the children to a boarding school in Kaduna, so that she won't have access to them. She flew to Kaduna and almost fought the principal of the school. She took the children and brought them back to Lagos).

She filed for divorce in 1976, but MD Yusufu (the inspector general of police) convinced her to withdraw the suit because the Murtala Government was still young and it would embarrass the government. It was Murtala and Yusufu that usually settled the quarrels.

She wrote about the time that Obasanjo had an affair with the principal of Queens College, while her daughter, Iyabo, was a student of the school. She said that Iyabo attacked the principal.


She also wrote about the divorce. She said that she has heard many people talk about the divorce, but she was not served any papers, neither did she know of any divorce proceedings. She said that she believed that Obasanjo rigged the divorce.


You might notice that she did not act as first lady when Obasanjo was head of state. Instead, wives of other government functionaries and female members of government acted as hostess during state visits, for example when Jimmy Carter visited Nigeria in 1978.

(By the way, Olusegun Obasanjo was already married to Stella Abebe when he was head of state).

Wow!! Book title please, I'll love to read it.

Bitter and Sweet go download good read

Rigging the 1979 election and denying Awolowo derailed Nigeria. The outcome would have been different, totally different.

Gbagura:
Obasanjo would have turned this country for good if he'd wanted to. He was a very strong and fearless president. During his 8yrs as president, he worked with 5 senate presidents. He sacked state's governors as he pleases.

The only Nigerian president till date to have received any sitting American president on a state's visit in the persons of Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George Bush.

He's the most respected Nigerian leader in the world since independence. God's grace is living in this man only that he fumbled in some areas.

That's cos he is a CIA agent
