Stop Calling Me Matthew – Obasanjo Sternly Warns Nigerians
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday seriously warned Nigerians or anybody to stop addressing him by his Christian name, Matthew.
The former President said this is necessary because he is not a stupid tax collector like his biblical namesake.
Accordingly, he adopted only Olusegun Okikiola Aremu as his names, even as he noted that names have lots of connotations in African setting.
He therefore said anybody who does not want to see his (Obasanjo’s) eyes red should stop calling him Matthew.
He stated this in Abuja at an event organised by the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE) in commemoration of his 80th birthday celebration in Abuja.

Was he not a born Muslim before Abacha turned or forced him out and he converted to Christian while in prison, politically?. Nigeria today has compelled him to rejoin his group, the Muslims, that’s what he is trying to show or do here.

Matthew Olusegun Obasanjo is a disgrace to the entire creation.He is a lucifer,genocidist,vampire,sucker of human blood, and a beast who feeds on human flesh.Matthew obj,in case you still have access to wisdom, use your last energy to contemplate about your eternal home which is hell fire where you shall spend your eternity(i.e if total repentance which is salvific finally eludes you)and where your fellow arch demons anxiously and impatiently await you.Woe betide you old man, matthew, if salvation at last becomes elusive,then shall it dawn on you that a raging inferno is nothing but a fresh air compared to the ever consuming fire of Divine justice which in no little way presupposes the very existence of hell fire.
