Obasanjo: "I Dropped Matthew, If You Want To See My Eyes Red, Call Me That" by emefav: 4:49pm On Jul 15, 2017 |
Ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, has stressed that he has dropped Mathew from his names, even though it made it to his birth names. The former Nigerian President who disclosed this at an event organized in his honour by the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) , said he dropped the name because of the Biblical character, Mathew, whom he was named after, was a tax collector. “When I was born, my mother and father decided to name me Matthew. I grew up being called and addressed Matthew. What is the meaning of Matthew in the Bible? He was a tax collector,” he said. “So, when I grew up, I dropped Matthew from my name. If anyone does not want to see my eyes red, no one should call me Matthew again. People ask, what is in a name? For me, there is so much in a name.” “A doctor’s mistake often leads to the death of one patient,” he said. “A lawyer’s mistake leads to the client going to jail. But if an engineer makes a mistake that leads to the collapse of a bridge or house, many people would lose their lives. “That is why engineers must be very careful and must be efficient not to allow mistakes to be made.” http://www.lailasblog.com/2017/07/want-see-eyes-red-call-matthew-obasanjo-%ef%bb%bf.html 31 Likes 6 Shares

Foolish man, Mathew was a tax collector but his encounter with Christ made him a saint. I am sure you dropped the name b'cos you don't want the saintly part of Mathew to be imbedded in your day to day life style. No wonder you looted Nigeria dry, we have seen the searchlight you launched in the space, even the $60mil for electricity was well SPENDED by you. At the end you wiped Odi and Zakibiam, gave Nigeria Boko Haram in 2002 and raped your daughter inlaw to coma. May LionDeLeo 's Akpa Amu fall on you. 245 Likes 12 Shares
