Obasanjo Celebrates 77th Birthday, Reveals There Is No Record For His Real Birthday (PHOTOS).

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo marks his 77th birthday Anniversary with book presentation lectures at the amphitheatre of the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Oke Mosan, in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Wednesday 5th of March 2014. Obasanjo confessed he could not give an actual date of his birth, attributing it to his parent’s inability to have it documented.

“Sooner than later, the cat will be let out of the bag by myself but one thing that is clear, I was born, there is no doubt about that. Another thing is that, I was told by my mother that I was actually born on Ifo market day because, according, to her in our village, she had prepared to go to Ifo market and Ifo market is every five days. And then she was under labour. Before those who went to Ifo market had come back, I was born. I know and she knew I was born on Ifo market day."







"Don’t ask me what year or month. Whether I know the exact date or not, I think God has made my path to be glorious. There are others like me who have no real record of birth. I want to thank God once again for what He has done in my life. Whether I know the exact date of my birth or not, I think God has made my birth glorious".

“I am grateful to God and I cannot thank God enough for all He has done, for all that He is doing and all that I know He will continue to do in my life. For making me to be a source of blessing to others, for making me to be a participant in areas that are of relevance and importance in the life of this country, Africa and indeed in the world”.
