Olusegun Obasanjo (Punch)


Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo has said that he derived pleasure from insults spoken against him when he was in office. Obasanjo made the statement on Wednesday, October 14, 2015, while presenting an address at a conference of the African Studies Association of Africa in Ibadan, Oyo State.


“If you visit the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library in Abeokuta, you will find thousands of archived newspaper comics and columns meant to spite and insult my person even as a sitting President,” Obasanjo said. “No individual or group of people was ever queried or jailed or repressed for expressing this freedom.


Rather, I encouraged them because I derived fun and pleasure from the humour as I know who I am and nobody needs to tell me who and what I am not,” he added.


Obasanjo was Nigeria’s president from 1999 to 2007.

Was that the reason why he almost destroyed Idris abdulkareem career when he sang: nigeria jaga jaga everything scatter scatter poor man de suffer suffer boza boza gun shot ina de air.

Armed robbers came to your house e no kill you e no rape your wife, they went straight down to your bedside strictly lie you down, this armed robbers no want money this armed robbers no want jolly na political armed robbers be that na wetin de kill omo nigeria ooo.......



Idris is a Legend!!!

Yh, I can say Obasanjo is the wrong person to trade insults with cos I remember telling reporters when he was asked about Idris jagajaga song, he said "na him mama and papa jagajaga" there was a time a young reporter asked him a question live on national tv, he answered by insulting his father "yio badi baba e" don't know how to translate that.

Baba u re right......we plenty lolz

like your popular "I dey laugh ohh"

Hmmmmmmnnnnn
