Baba I earnestly tapped from the grace God has bestowed on your Sir, you are indeed a blessing to this generation and we need to celebrate you now that you are alive.
⚠️ Adesuwa, please find a way to bring Gen. Yakubu Gowon on your show while the man still breathes! He has so much story to document for posterity, starting from the Jan 66 coup, the counter coup, Ironsi's fate, civil war years, post war, change of schedule for handover to civil rule, Murtala coup, his implication in the Dimka coup, life in exile, life back in Nigeria, interactions with Ojukwu post war and whatever else you wish to add 😉
@1anre it would be a great disservice to the nation and more importantly, to themselves if they still lack the courage to be candid at the twilight of their lives! One assumes that Generals are courageous and fearless! Let's see how it goes!
@adstix reverse psychology bully won't work on these type of men. People in their close corridors have heard the stories of how things really unraveled and can tell us as it is, but we will hardly believe them cause it's not directly from the horses mouth. My hope is that when they see clips like this from OBJ and the other OGs, it should ginger them to open their hearts up and share
@1anre if you never narrate your story, others will do so for you. And it is never guaranteed that third-party narrators will be 100% factual. Gowon, Danjuma, IBB, etc. can either tell us while they still can or their families have to live with secondhand versions for eternity!
I think we have to deliberately avoid the use of the word "illiterate" for our parents, it will be more appropriate to use the expression not having "western/formal education" rather than "illiterate". Our parents that didn't attend the western form of school are more intelligent than our so-called graduates, PhD holders and professors of today.
We really cannot do that because it is not yet crystalized that we have our own civilization, hence we will continue to call our fathers illiterate, when they had their own educational structure, what they teach for values.
My dad did up to standard six. He became our village secretary. Spoke seldomly but writes a lot. I usually watched him go through and amended his notes.
Baba Obasanjo, very willing to surrender all the information despite been a General and a president, I still see great humility in him. Baba please Nigeria still need your support. do not forsake this country, help advice our present leaders the best way to save this country as you can see our suffering in Nigeria Thank you Sir.
Thanks soo much Adesuwa from bringing these interviews to us. You're sooo amazing. Please, is there gonna be a Part 2 of this interview? It kinda feels incomplete
The greatest leader in the modern democratic dispensation. Sad to say, but in hindsight, Nigeria may have been better off if Obasanjo had gotten the third term agenda
I agree with fact that ex president Olusegun Obasanjo is the greatest leader of Nigeria new democratic dispensation, but I am of the opinion that third term attempt is one factor that is undermining his huge respect he should have been commanding in the country. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo patriotism and contributions to Nigeria 🇳🇬 is unquestionable.
He went through the rudiments! A very good role model for those with discerning minds! Some naysayers will see it differently because they're naturally myopic in everything!
On how Adesuwa introduce OBJ: i don't know if that's the model she adopts for her program for whoever no matter the status that's ok. However bringing Icon like Gen. Obasanjo two time Nigeria president to the stage i think he needs proper introduction by you to arouse the interests of your viewers especially if you are expecting viewes across the Globe who definitely will need background information.
Adesuwa, I believe the appropriate thing would have been for you to introduce this statesman appropriately. If you know history at all OBJ's name is littered all the history of Nigeria. From handing over to a civilian government (shehu shagari), to his role in quelling the civil war, to standing up to abacha and being jailed for it, and becoming the first civilian president of our latest republic. Common now introduce this man well next time
Adesuwa you are meant to introduce him to your audience not asking people like Obasanjo to introduce himself. I feel its kind of disrespecful to ask Obasanjo to introduce himself. Especially for someone of his calibre who is well-known both in Nigeria and internationally.
@@aigbekaenosaigbovo8607 she is doing well but no Journalist has ever asked Obama, Clinton, etc to introduce themselves. The normal thing is to introduce your guest to your audience.
He is not relevant to you because Gen Olusegun Obasanjo is not a tribal bigot the way you would have expected him to be, ex president Olusegun Obasanjo is a great Nigerian and a good leader to us 🇳🇬.
@@anthonyajibolaomoruyi8054 🤣🤣🤣🤣 if you say so , the most corrupt president Nigeria had , of course you will like him cause you see a user , if hitler was in support of Peter obi , he would have been a saint in your eyes.
