Is THIS Obasanjo's Real Igbo Name? by Rosskivvyy: 12:11am On Dec 29, 2020
Many say there is no such name as 'Obasanjo' in the Yoruba language, lending credence to the allegation that the former two-time president of Nigeria is in fact, an Igbo man.

Could it be that the reason 'Obasanjo' is a non-existent name in Yorubaland is in fact because, it is an IGBO name?

Is the real meaning and spelling of that name Ogbasa-njo (Destroyer of evil), likely an archaic Igbo name associated with brave men, titled men, and warriors?

General Ogbasanjo?

Okay, we don hear, Obj's real name is Ogbasa-njo and is from the SE. He has served as the president. So SE has produced president, therefor 2023 is the turn of SW.

Yeah, but this is about his father's name, ie surname, Obasanjo.

They said it doesn't mean anything in Yoruba.

But it means something in Igbo.

It means something in Yoruba but Adefuye said it was never a name until Olusegun....


Obasanjo means The King repaid a favour....



Oba is a prefix (king)

the suffix Sanjo is a common name, it means Repay a favor....


I have never met or heard any older person with that name except , and only kids born and named after him OBJ

The name Obásanjó is the short form of Obaluayesanjo (Obaluaye repays a favour).
Obaluaye is a god in Yoruba religion which implies that he's one of the worshipped gods by Obásanjó's father, hence the name
