OBASANJO admits he's Older than Age

Birthday boy...how old are you now?

Ex President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo celebrated his 77th birthday today in Abeokuta..there was a small ceremony to mark the occasion..The Olowu of Egbaland was present at the occasion,where he sang
praises of Obasanjo as a man..The president,Goodluck Jonathan also sent a message read at the event.But the real highlight of the occasion was the debate about Obasanjo's age.Over the years there has been rumors about Obasanjo's real age and even his ethnic origin.

Birthday boy and his cake

The Olowu started things of by asking people not to focus on Obasanjo's age and instead pay attention to all his good work. The Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Ogun State, Oba Adegboyega Dosunmu, also said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo, knows his correct birth date but won’t disclose it to anybody.

 He said the ex-President decided to keep the date to himself but was in the habit of telling people he was “born in Ibogun a day before Ifo market day.”
Obasanjo said: “Olowu wanted to let the cat out of the bag, but he didn’t quite succeed, the date would be revealed by me. The truth is, I was born. The truth also is that I was born on Ifo market day according to my mother because she was actually prepared to go to Ifo market that day when she began to have labour and gave birth to me.

"Don’t ask me the day and year. Whether I know the birth date or not, the important thing is that God has made my birth glorious."
If you ask me this sounds like a very strange birthday party to me.Imagine being at a birthday celebration where the celebrant readily admits the day you are acknowledging is actually not his birthday?Haaaaa!
