Awujale of Ijebuland Autobiography Saga; Obasanjo Reactions and Considerations

How Obasanjo Reacted to Awujale Authobiography

By calibre and status in Nigerian heritage (Yoruba race inclusive), the duo "Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Oba Sikiru Adetona" in question are nothing but a god in their calling within and outside their jurisdiction (more credit to Obasanjo). I doff my hat Sirs for your quota in the state of Nigeria Today. Meanwhile, their historiography has documented by Wikipedia is full of jawdropping, interesting lifetime experiences across all walks of life within and outside Nigeria.

Lately, the Awujale Autobiography - an enclosure of lifetime events or moments with important dignitaries - published in 2010 by Mosuro Publishers became the talk of the town. Worthy of mentioning amongst the issue raised revolves around the then President of Nigeria - Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Mike Adenuga and host of others. As published in the except pp. 187-195 of the book, Obasanjo was polished as a leader who established Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to trail and hunt down his enemies - Mike Adenuga as at that time.


The autobiography further revealed Obasanjo was more or less a failure to Nigerian government during his 8years reign as the head of state and head of government. It was stipulated there that Obasanjo couldn't nail down the cankerworm "corruption" while the epileptic state of the nation's electricity lingers on regardless of his two terms in office. Obviously, his royal majesty Oba Adetona has been the traditional ruler of Ijebu land (Ijebu Ode his residence) prior that time achieving tremendous growth and development in the area. Am quite sure, Ijebu people has a negative feeling towards this.

In light of these, Obasanjo reactions via letter rebuffed the accusations stated in the Autobiography with a detailed explanation as if the scenario years back remains fresh in his memory. Obasanjo claimed the inclusion of that section of the book was to blackmail him while he claimed never intruding into Nuhu Rihadu affairs as the then EFCC boss. As for Mike Adenuga saga, Obasanjo noted he never had any issue with him. 

Nevertheless, the godfathers have made their points with an element of truth still hidden - whichever way, it is quite essential to make huge considerations about their standpoint. On a realistic note, Nigerian leaders has proven to be an expert in defending self (when the evidences against them are visible) talkless of an issue that lives without any trace. This is agreed upon based on the level at which they reply to accusations (via letter) which often leaves the general masses with great confusion as to who is right or wrong. 

GOD BLESS NIGERIA
GOD BLESS OGUN STATE
GOD BLESS IJEBU

Unanswered Questions about Lekki Toll Gate Massacre on the 20th October 2020

It came as a shock to me and many other Nigerians waking up to the news of some unarmed youths shot at by security officials at the most coordinated protest ground in Lagos, Nigeria. The exact figures of fatalities were unaccounted for considering some middle grounds. These were based on the controversial news spread by the protesters, the state government, the Nigerian Army and the Presidency across the mass media.  Mr Governor said, "forces beyond his direct control were responsible for the heinous act" in his speech on the 21st October 2020. He went further to say there were no fatalities recorded. The Nigerian Army denied involvement in the horrific scene while the Presidency also maintained the same ground as others making the storyline more complicated.  However, there were a series of events possibly justifying that the horrible attack on harmless protesters were deliberate actions to frustrate youths clarion call to end police brutality and bad governance in the count

The central idea of this post was curled from one of the Facebook live session of popular multiple Amazon Bestselling Author, an award-winning Entrepreneur, and International Speaker " Edirin Edewor ". The theme of the session was: so you want to go viral? In the session, I learnt the importance of being ready for the future we calling to come. How we get set before it happens?

Your preparedness now determines your future when it finally comes. How prepared are you for the journey? Edirin shared three stories in the live session but I will share one here. One of the stories she shared was about Amanda Gorman, the first National Youth Poet Laureate at the age of 22years.
