Veteran Comedian, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome better known as Ali Baba, has taken to social media with a narration of his experience with the former president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Alibaba in his post recounted a time when Obasanjo predicted that something would happen, and that would be the case.
The stand-up comedian recalled how Obasanjo confidently foretold that someone who once said nasty things about him would ask him for a favour.
Ali baba claimed Obasanjo’s close associates asked for his permission to deal with the person who spoke ill of him.
However, the former president kicked against it and warned them never to respond or bring it up.
Obasanjo added that the person would someday ask for his favour, and it came to pass.
Alibaba shared a video with the politician and wrote;
“Sometimes, I look back to time spent with this elder-states man, Baba Obasanjo. And I marvel at how well he reads the Nigerian Polity.
These days when these things he had said would happen happen, I call him and say “Baba you said this will happen”.
Thank God I don’t bet. I would have lost plenty bets.
Few years back, someone said something about him. And some of his closest people came to meet him in Abeokuta, and they were very angry. They’ve said they wanted to respond to the person. Baba refused and warned them never to respond or bring it up.”
He then added, “That person that said what you are hitting your head on the wall for, will still walk through this my door in the nearest future to ask a favour. Jekon ma sankan to hun wan”
And it came to pass.
As usual, I called Baba to greet him and after many catching up, I mentioned the day that he said that the person who said that thing, that his Old Boys were very upset about, would come and seek his support for something.
He also said….never mind. When it happens I will update you guys again”.
