A Presidential Servant
April 30th, 2007 | Published in Event, Nigeria | 100 Comments
If you haven’t, please take a trip to Dare Obasanjo’s Flickr photoshots of his father’s 70th birthday bash. Dare’s father is the Nigerian president Obasanjo, Once you see Dare, even a blind man would know where he gets his look.
Several questions ran through my mind viewing the pictures - such as the “step-brother this”, “step-sister that”, how many of “them” exist? Our president is just one famous polygamist, nothing new really.
But when I saw a picture (reproduced below) and Dare’s use of the word “servant” to describe one of the domestic workers at the presidential villa, my heart sank…
The picture’s caption (as written by Dare) reads:
“One of the servants sitting down on the bed of his one room apartment. You can see the entire apartment in this shot.”
The chap’s profession is not in question, he’s a servant, but he’s human, and deserves to be addressed with more respect in my opinion…slapping the tag “servant” just doesn’t jive with my senses at all.
Well, since Dare carries a more than fair share of his father’s gene pool (click on picture to enlarge) this shouldn’t be a surprise to those familiar with Nigeria and president Obasanjo. Should it? Didn’t the book state: “By their fruits you shall know them.”

Can you blame the guy, hasn’t his father turned all naijas into servants.
Meanwhile we should thank Dare for giving us mere mortals (or servants) a glimpse of Aso rock, like i didn’t know the place had a zoo, the zoo even get lion self, nice one the presido can always throw any of his pesky opponents to the lions. Kai even the giraffe looks better fed than most naijas lol
surely this must be a security breach, not only has Dare shown us the presidential copter (NAF 541), the presidential benz (which we know ONLY carries the presido), he has even shown us his dad’s security details (and the fact that they love checkers)
Thanks I’ll be posting this on my blog too

Professionally, I have time for Dare. However this (reference to the servant) was somewhat uncalled for.

Well well what do you expect from someone who belongs to the GORRILA UNIT (see Dare Obasanjo’s picture above). I wonder if this is a work, family or friend unit. What’s important is that a Gorrilla and the son of one must behave, talk, reason and live like one.

I saw the pics yesterday and have my opinions about some of them but for dare to take this chap’s pix (I’m sure the guy was happy to be snapped by ‘OGA’s son wey dey live for amerika’)and label him as a servant on a medium accessible by millions is WRONG.
I like dare’s technorants. I always do. but this ……. MBAH!!!

Before nko? Only God knows how those in one authority or the other describes their surbodinates. Meanwhile, I believe this guy got this feature from his father, “baba” himself, who can insult you right under your nose. Remember what he (OBJ) once told the CAN Chairman in Jos? Awful!

Oh come on. You guys are too far removed from the realities in Nigeria. In Nigeria its all in a days job for a grown man to receive a slap from the madam. Who amongst you have not used the label house boy in the past.

First Imankoya thanks for posting this link.
I find the whole of Dare Obasanjo’s post offensive. Omodudu - you are right this is Nigerian reality but that does not mean we have to accept it - continue to accept it. Is it not about time that we all especially those living in Nigeria on a day to day basis start to rid our country of this kind of attitude! It is this unwillingness to ever attempt to change the status quo that leaves us in the situation we find ourselves to day - a disgrace in the eyes of the world with a bunch of buffoons and thieves called leaders. It is about time we raised our expectations and our standards and begin to think of treating people with respect irrespective of their status, occupation or income level.

He has a post on his blog or whatever, explaining why he used the word. Big freaking deal. Sorry, Dare, your explanation is not needed. It is not necessary. You have only typed what was in your mind. To you, he is an ordinary servant. He also described his apartment, just to let the whole world know, that he is poor and he(Dare) is rich and not on the same level with the guy.
Mehn, it is high time, Nigerians stopped all these rubbish. In this generation, if we don’t curb this kind of arrogance, we’ll still have the likes of Dare, run the country.
That is the problem with Nigeria. I have said it over and over again, Nigeria will not get better. You wanna know why? Because the rich do not want the gap to close. People like Dare, wants to be the only one that can call someone else servants. Imagine, if Nigeria was a good place, will a grown man like the guy in the picture, be a servant and live in a one bedroom apt with just a bed and a few clothings?

All Dare Obasanjo wanted to do is show off his father’s servant - in his tiny one room apartment - to his oyinbo friends. What he failed to realize is that even his oyinbo friends won’t use the word “servant” if they were in his shoes. The whole photo-shot reeks of show-off and subtle arrogance with his numerous use of the phrase “my father, the president…” describing the pictures.
As one of the comments on his site states: he “could also have called him by his name which would have meant recognizing him as a human being and not by the function he performs….” , I hope Dare understands enough Yoruba to know what this means - “Charity begins at home.”

Abisola (born into wealth) is different from Mobolaji (I wake up see wealth), but this one “na real case of Omo ojuolari (my eyes no see wealth before)”.- Dare grow up please. It takes more than this show off for us to respect the likes of you and your baba.

This blog post and the responses amuse me. I hope that by giving you an outlet for your frustrations I have made your lives lighter. Carrying around such negativity is bad for your health.
PS: I like how Naija people who have abandoned their country like you carry on as if they are more Naija than anyone else. Flipping out because I called a houseboy a ’servant’ because it is a word more likely to be recognized by my ‘oyinbo’ readers shows an impressive lack of perspective on the issues actually on the ground in Nigeria. Enjoy your righteous indignation. I’m sure it will go down better with a glass of whine.
May 3rd, 2007 at 1:48 pm (#)
FYI: I have not abandoned my country and won’t abandon my country. I’m very much in-touch and go home to spend quality time with my people - you want me to send you a copy of my passport pages?
If you are still confused of what went wrong despite the comments your readers left on your blog, and have the audacity to come here…then you are indeed dumb - even dumber than I thought!
Dare Obasanjo (omo soldier) by your actions you have shown that arrogance and stupidity are transmissible traits with high penetrance!
May 4th, 2007 at 2:59 am (#)
You mean with all that “coming to America” wealth, the guy has to sleep on the floor? haba! Yes, I am aware of “house boys/girls”, but in all my days, and mind you, I come from Warri, the forgotten land, I have seen them sleep on beds. BEDS! I am sure Dare can afford to get an “ikea” bed, “shipped” down, if one can not be found in Abuja! why is he sleeping on the floor? Thats what I’d like to know, forget linguistic issue, servant vs house boy, I want to know why, with all the wealth shown on those pics, the guy is living like that? Its a bloody shame. A SHAME.
May 4th, 2007 at 3:34 am (#)
Dare Obasanjo - first the spelling is WINE or are you really that educated to use a pun on words? I think not. If naija people are frustrated - na your papa cause am. Next time around you will enjoy of the frustration as your reign of madness is soon coming to an end. In the meantime you enjoy your insanity boy. While you are now amused, please note that He who laughs last laughs best

Imnakoya, we know who has abandoned their country and who has not. Not only is Dare of the Gorilla unit, He is a Dumb stupid gorrilla who believes he has Oyibo friends who respect and support his superiority complex. I do feel sorry for him though.To inherit the traits of that >>>>>>>>.

Dare, you just do not get it. What was the point of taking this man’s photo in the first instance? The man looks so tired like he was up all night at your family’s beck and call 24/7
Do you get his permission to post his picture on the web?
I am sure you just barged into his room and took his picture; after all in your words he is a ‘servant’.
You forget that he is a human being like yourself and deserves respect and courtesy despite what you think his ‘station’ in life may be.
He is also a man and may have children and a wife, just because he is poor does not make him less of a man or deserving of privacy.
I wonder if you would take a picture of a member of your family in an untidy room…… I forget, you have servants to take care of your mess
You lack commonsense, decency or humanity is bewildering
May 4th, 2007 at 5:21 pm (#)
Mae,
So your only complaint is your assumption that I must have somehow barged into his room and taken his picture without permission after my family has been working him for 24 hours straight. You have a vivid imagination and a tendency to leap to conclusions. You should consider a career as a writer. Don’t waste that imagination.
omotaylor,
I’m glad you recognized the pun even though the fact that an Obasanjo could be intelligent enough to write a pun causes you cognitive dissonance.
Imnakoya,
Your jealousy is so palpable it reeks. I took pictures of my family and my surroundings as souvenirs of my trip. The fact that my father is the president or that he has houseboys serving in his home is a fact. Describing it as showing off for me to mention that or take pictures is as absurd. However I can see that you have an irrational enmity for my father based on reading the archives of your blog so I don’t expect any rational discourse from you. Bad belle go kill you O!
May 4th, 2007 at 5:27 pm (#)
Dare Obasanjo as you have kindly given we Naija people room to let out our frutraion most of which were inflicted by your father I have one more thing to add for now - You will by the grace of God be blessed with servitude and ridiculed for fun. What goes round comes round and what goes up comes down. Enjoy your false sense of security and power while it lasts. How many of Sani Abacha’s children have you seen or heard sounding off in the past 8 years. Your turn will come soon. You may think all you have done is insult a poor man whom you call servant. Am sure he has a family - for shaming them, you and yours will enjoy the same fate.
By the way yor baba no fit buy bed for the man to put im mattress, or he believe say na floor fit some people?

Dare you are so conceited, immature, ignorant and full of it. It would be nice to hear more from you as its fun reading from an ignorant fool from the Gorrilla Race and please keep thumbing the page of that dictionary you keep next to your computer. Thanks for your interest in the blog. One question for you nit wit - what are the pitures you took as a souvenir doing on the internet? Oh sorry son of an outgoing President, you cant be asked questions can you? Your father and the likes of you are your own worst enemies. Keep on dreaming, You will wake up soon enough. Wickedmind don finish una for your side patapata.

May I add that this son of Obasanjo is far from intelligent. Let’s just say he is pompous, arrogant, ignorant, damn conceited and like his father is pushing his self destruct button. Keep it up Dare of the Gorrila Unit.

omotaylor,
>One question for you nit wit - what are the pitures you took as a souvenir doing on the internet?
I know this may be shocking to you, but the reason sites like http://www.flickr.com, http://photos.yahoo.com and http://www.smugmug.com exist is that it is a lot more convenient to share photos with friends and family on the Web than letting them stagnate in some musty photo album that you only bring out on special occassions.
Surely you are aware of how people use the Internet?
Maybe you should look at the pictures from my previous trip to Nigeria at http://carnage4life.spaces.live.com/photos maybe there is something there that you will find similarly offensive.
Enjoy.

Honestly Dare, if I were you, I’ll just quit replying. You are simply digging yourself into the ground more. You could easily have offered an apology, not to us per se, at least you did not call me or anyone else here, a servant, but to the guy. You could easily have accepted that it was big error on your part, though we all know, you don’t have any respect for the guy. To you, he is just a servant. But still, you could have been more humble, but I guess you have not trace of that in your blood.
I have one question for you though. How do you know when and if a girl likes you? You don’t know if she is with you simply because you have money or because of your name. You berra believe it, if you were not an Obasanjo or the fact that you have money (I am sure you do, afterall, your papa don clear the treasury), she’ll not be with you. Cos I bet you, if you were poor, you’ll probably be next to the giraffe in your father’s zoo. Just had to throw this one out here. If you think you can come here and be arrogant and make fun of people, u better look in the mirror.

Bhola,
I’m always amused by people who get angry ON BEHALF of other people. I’m wondering how many people gave the man in the picture a call to ask him how pissed off he is that Dare Obasanjo called him a “servant” in a description of a picture he tool of him. As for apologies, I have already clarified my position and changed the caption on the photo in my blog post after this intial hubbub at http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/PermaLink.aspx?guid=de3005cc-dc21-4885-a9ba-f684b7f83ccc
As for your comments about girls. It is rather pathetic to see the childish lengths to which people on this blog are trying to hurt my feelings. Unfortunately for you, in America no one cares whether my last name is Obasanjo or not. As for money, I have long prided myself on standing on my own which is why I work at Microsoft as a run of the mill employee instead of moving back to Nigeria to live off of my name. Sorry to disappoint you.
Any more childish insults left?
May 4th, 2007 at 7:50 pm (#)
imnakoya- listen well here. Engaging in this discourse distracts from the point you were making. You’re trading words? Defending your choice to be out of Nigeria? Who feeds the millions that are hungry here? The government?
The picture of that “servant” is a very sad one. Let’s leave it at that. I’ll link to the story. Let everyone else do that. We blog for conscience and for history (well, some of us)

Folk’s beef should have been with the guy’s deplorable living condition and not with the word “servant”.
The fellow in the shot looks terrified to me and its shameful that a young man who works and lives in the President’s house lives under such a condition.
Is this how our (outgoing) president expects an average Nigerian to live?
O mase o.

I have only just seen all of this furore and I am shocked. I went to see the Flikr pics and here’s a young man displaying all the members of his extremely priviledged household in their finery (
there is an underlying bufoonery lurking under the surface all through, with all the talk of “my half-sister” this and that. I mean, where is subtlety and refinement? My half-sister may not be too happy to see me being the one reiterating the biological percentages publicly at every opportunity - but I digress) - then he shows this poor man and his mattress on the floor. Jesus! And he thought we’d be okay with this? Is he removed from reality or what?
You can tell I have not been a regular visitor to Dare’s blog, as I didn’t know until now that one of OBJ’s many sons blogs. Hell, I didn’t presume everyone with an ‘Obasanjo’ surname would be related to the President.
Anyway, I’ve left the following (now edited somewhat, as I typed furiously before) on his blog by way of response.
___________
Calling the young man ’servant’, regrettably, betrayed your own perception of the ‘help’ in the first place. I have to ask you: why did you take the poor man’s picture? This image does not empower the young man (who is seen in a ‘defeated’ position in a corner, apparently wishing to disappear into the wall, probably wishing he didn’t have to suffer yet another indignity - a trophy picture for the internet). The image only reinforces the huge social gap between yourself and him. Did you ask for his permission? Did you privilege him as a human being? In fact, did he have a choice in the matter? It doesn’t look like he did.
Personally, I’d be embarrassed to post a picture like this for the world to see, as the situation of a member of my household, even if it is the help. This is the domestic staff in the house of a President, and look at the man’s lowly circumstances. His mattress is on the floor! Wealthy people should be ashamed to keep their domestic staff like this. And then to display it?
I have an Uncle in Lagos who insists that no one calls his workers ‘houseboy/girl’. He says they are his “domestic staff”. He’d have a seizure if you called one of them “servant”. You’d expect presidential people to be more urbane.
The best thing you could do, is remove the poor man’s picture from Flikr. You can redeem yourself better that way, because the poor man did not sign up for this kind of “servitude exhibition”. People who use the net must recognise the fine line between showing life, and exploitation. Blogger be responsible.

Oluniyi David Ajao:
I’ve just seen your comment and I agree entirely. The “deplorable” conditions of the young man in the photo (is a president’s house) is criminal. This gets me the most. Dare Obasanjo’s own attitude to the help and his use of language - were just the icing on the cake.
May 5th, 2007 at 9:25 am (#)
I’m surprised that Dare deems it fit to take on the whole ‘world’. It certainly smacks of arrogance and immaturity, especially as he finds it difficult to say: “Hey Guys! You got me! I made a mistake”.
Dare, I just want to sit on your belly and scream some truths into your ear when you write about naija people ‘fleeing’ their country. You just dont understand, do you? In a way, I feel sorry for you… and please batten the hatch on those big big english. Omotaylor is right - are you going thru’ a dictionary?
Below is what I wrote in my brother(http://www.laspapi.blogspot.com)’s blog earlier; I hope you can get some education from the recognition of the fact that I actually wrote that before I read these responses from you.
========================
I am unsure why there’s this hoo ha about Dare’s comments and the pics. I looked thru them and all I noticed was: amidst the plenty, there was too little class. Green chairs in a beige corridor, obese guests, obviously unhappy servants and tatty security detail; a president’s son that labels kudu, ‘gazelle’, and his comment against pic 2287 which paraphrases as: reporters mobbing my dad after he “casted” his vote.
Come on, do these demand that much attention?
May 5th, 2007 at 3:00 pm (#)
To Dare:
As you can see I’m not the only one that see the implications of your deeds - or have a “bad belle” against the General - take a trip around the WWW to see for yourself, maybe you will start fire-fighting there as well. And you may spin this discourse any way you want - it’s your choice. The fact is the truth remains what it is. It is clear and obvious, and your attempt to trivialize it is an indication that you are far removed from reality and the society of your origin. So go back to the hole my good friend…and stay there.

===============================
That said, I think you guys are overreacting. Reading most of your comments, I see hate, rage and jealousy. Personally, I think president Obasanjo has done a shameful and disgraceful job as president. However, that’s not enough to attack his family or insult them personally. I see people trying to infer that his family looks like gorillas e.t.c??? Such comments are just unwarranted. Simply put, the fellow in that picture is a servant! it may be politically incorrect to use that term, but its the truth.
p.s - i found more horrible, the fellows living condition, than the use of the word servant. I would imagine that an employee of obasanjo would be living better than that.

Is it true he had 8 years opportunity to rule Nigeria, and rather than rescuing it, he left it in the slums, and willingly killed more people with neglect and robbery of the Nations money, which is the masses?
How do u feel, having such a dad?

and Dare, by the way. Upon reading ur responses which indicate u are indeed your greedy ignorant fathers son, with the arrogance gene fully presenting itself. Yeah u are the greatest…u work for microsoft, but whose money was used to send u to the league schools u studied at that ensured u this good job..and I wonder not the shares and stakes u all actually have in Msoft ?
Tell u who. My money. Yes, my money which ur dad stole his first time as ‘president’ , even if other Nigerians cant recognize their money and its fruits. I do. I see my money invested against my wishes in you, and unless u dissociate urself from that arrogant ignorant dad u have. I will…we will collect our money back from u too.

Folks, what else do you want him, Dare, to say? I don’t see anything wrong with his comments. Out of all the pictures he posted all you folks could see is that guy- the “servant.” I’m pretty sure when Dare posted these pix he didn’t have bad intention, but see what people have made it! That Dare even finds it necessary to respond to the haters shows that he is a humble and a down to earth person. How many people in his position would have responded, positively, to you folks calling him names on the internet? Judging from what he has posted, pix and comments, Dare is just as Nigerian as any of us. Abeg Dare do your thing jare!

@kolinzo
I don’t care about the pics, or what he said, or said not.
I pity him, because it must be hard being the son of such a filthy useless pauper thief and masses murderer. All that blood on his dads hand is a great challenge to anyone related.
My thing is. If he is against his dad, then I love him more than my brother. I put that maggot(Obasanjo) In jail, and am still suprised how he got out. Thought I threw away they key:(
But about dear Dare. Maybe…just maybe, he may change and fix Africa, and the world, by being the great great son that killed his criminal dad.

It is not good to insult anyone’s father? How many times have you insulted Bush or Tony Blair? I am sure, they have kids as well. That said, bcos Obasanjo is the president of Nigeria, we have the right to insult him, if he is not doing the right things. This is the internet age. If you put yourself out there, people will type whatever they want. No one can control that. Reason why people should make wise choice, before posting stuff online.
He might have had good intentions when he posted the pictures (though I seriously doubt that), but like someone said, he could have easily fixed this, by not justifying it. He went ahead to give the dictionary meaning of a servant and blah blah blah. We all know who and what a servant is.
A lot can be said about his personality so far. One thing that is apparent, is the fact that he does not have an ounce of humility in him.
May 5th, 2007 at 8:18 pm (#)
If you have ever been on Dare Obasanjo’s blog prior to all this you are aware that it is a techie blog. He blogs about what he does on the job at microsoft and his primary audience are his co workers and fellow techies world wide… bottomt line is majority of his audience are white males.
1. If he had put “house boy” in the discription they would have not known what he was talking about. “House boy” is a nigerian term,.
2. He called the man a servant. He could have used a better word such as help. He corrected this the next day on his blog and offered a valid explanation. Nobody is above mistake, even the presidents son!!! GET OFF HIS CASE!!!
3. A friend of mine has a picture of her house girl on facebook. The house girl is sitting on a mattress on the floor also!!! She labeled the picture as “MY HOUSE GIRL” know one has critisized her on that!!! If she was the presidents daughter now alot of ignorant people that do not know how to compartmentalize would have been on her case about it!!!
Like I said before Nobody is above mistake, even the presidents son!!! GET OFF HIS CASE!!!

My father was retired as a minister because he refused to steal..thank God. And so he capacitated me to call a spade a spade and a murderer a murderer. I call all murderers and arrogant opressors of the masses, just what they are, whatever robber den they opperate out of. The day I am hesitant to call a thieving murderer what he is, may I be on my last breath.
Yes, his dad killed so many, including moses dear Mom. Mrs Ransome Kuti, in tier one, and in tier 2, he killed many more, by depriving them of their money, healthcare, technology, power, and other rights. I have lost brothers, sisters, uncles and friends, to the murderer and so have u so why do u hold back?????
I love Dare, but he must ensure he rejects that bad man, one of many, whose justice is here…who can’t be his father, if as we believe, he is a decent fellow.
It’s no National cake…as he thinks,saying- we are all Nigerians. Dare, I am not Nigerian in the sense of ur statement. I am Moses…and all of us many more moses’ and Felas, hate all who cut chunks of the peasants loaf (Not no National cake!!!).
I hope u are with this movement of enlightened moral beings. Together we will bring justice to Obasanjo and all other http://corruptnigerians.com , to save them while they are still alive, helping them return their loot and do service to the masses, that they may not feel the greater torment on the day of the lord(Corinthians 5: 1-6)

To t,
It is unfortunate that as smart as you portray yourself to be Mr Dare’s friend you don’t seem to get it. The focus is not only about just an ordinary Nigerian calling someone a “servant” [which is extremely derogatory] rather this is about the son of a President who lacks scruples. [So reference to your friend’s house-girl story has no bearing here, totally off key.]
People are angry and they have a right to be because the way Gorilla Unit is treating his “servant”[no mattress, barely any clothes] is synonymous to how he has treated Nigerians. And you cannot blame anyone for venting their anger.
Last point tell your friend Dare to wake up and smell the coffee, oops I forgot he will SOON get a sense of it when a new president is sworn!

To Dare- You, like your baba seem to get your kicks from winding people up - saddism is the name. From now on from me the golden word is S—I–L–E—N—C—E. Feel free to say all you can from now on as you were obviously born a fool and will forever be one judging from your arrogance and so called hipe.You are still of the gorrila unit as announced by you and you take after your dadddddy.
To all defending Dare’s action and reaction - what goes round comes round. As long as that man humiliated after so much apparent suffering is a human being, you will be served your just desserts. As long as many Nigerians have suffered untold hardship and many lives have been lost because of the likes of Dare and his father OBJ, you will be judged.
To all who speak the truth boldly about Obasanjo and his 8 year legacy in Nigeria - the truth shall set us all free and the truth shall always prevail.
To all who have been partkers of evil gotten wealth and who have become sycophants - you will be exposed and shamed.
To all of us who have one way or the other engaged in ths share of ideas and foolery - interesting eh. There’s always something to learn listening to both sides of an argument. Please do not however neglect the important political updates in this blog and others.
To Imnakoya - please do not condescend to respond to Dare any longer lest he rubbishes your good works. People are voicing their opinions in plentyways.
But to T - get a life and some education. You write like a half educated person and wow this makes your stance less credible. GET OFF DARE’S CASE AS WELL AND YOU MAY FIND TIME TO RESOLVE YOUR CASE!!!!!!!!! and of course your response is awaited as you will not be a bird of the same feather as your friend Dare.

t - with most of your friends male and female taking delight in posting images of men and women who sleep on mattresses on the floor and label then servants and housegirl, you have only succeeded in exposing to the world how totally ludicrous you and the company you keep are. Keep it up dear. No wonder you bear a non-name (t). I have gotten off Dare’s case, happy?

Dare…[lmnakoya please allow me]…you have just shown us that the apple does not fall far from the tree, you would have probably come away from this with a little bit of dignity if you had just remained SILENT…but of course, as the true son of your father, you had to engage in baseless trading of words with people who have every right to be ashamed of you and people like you. In case, they did not slice your head and drop in some knowledge while you were in your schools abroad which your dad sent you to with the money that he looted from Nigeria. Let me present you with the facts-
You unnecessarily placed a photo of another human being on the internet and labelled it with a derogatory noun. This is a human being who has parents and whose parents gave him a name. What irks me is that you have shown the world that (a) you are too conceited to even acknowledge that he is a human being (b) you probably by the looks of all the back and forth that you have the indecency to engage do not even know the gentleman’s name. Shame on you…do yourself and the world a favor please. ZIP IT!!!!

Looking at those pics just enforces the stereotype of yoruba people being dirty. i mean for a whole president see the grounds, una no get landscape gardeners? and the interior? gaddem. even my lil flat looks nicer that that place. looks dirty and exhibits a lack of taste.
even the ’servants’ no be househelp we dey call them? the boysquarters look awful, our househelp had a vono bed o.
maybe na so dem dem do for ottah, and if u tell me that the presidential villa in abuja, PLEASE DO NOT INVITE FOREIGN VISITORS THERE O, TAKE THEM TO THE HILTON ABEG OR MY FAMILY HOUSE SEF. Looks wayyyyy better.

“I like how Naija people who have abandoned their country like you carry on as if they are more Naija than anyone else”
This is probably the funniest, most ironic statement. Seeing as it’s coming from the presidents son who by the way doesn’t even live in Nigeria himself.
I mean seriously?
May 7th, 2007 at 7:01 am (#)
This is saddening to say the least. Dare you are sounding as if Nigeria is a fiefdom or a kingdom ruled by a monarchy. I am dissappointed in this thread and your responses.
Your father’s job is difficult enuff but to have sons like yourself and Gbenga who continually bring the Obasanjo name down into the muck by being insensitive to the plight of your fellow Nigerians.
The man whose picture you took is not a servant. He is an employee. If he wishes to leave your employ, he can. That is the difference. If I were you I would find a way to listen to the words of peeps here and use to build yourself up. Nobody is above correction especially someone whose claim to fame is only becos of what his popsy has done!

I received the message below via Yahoo! Messenger from an online Nigerian friend who is fond of forwarding messages. The thrust of the message is that each and everyone of those listed below have been persecuted at one time or another by President Obas…

Dare made a mistake, by using the word “servant”, fine, even though his target audience didn’t take notice until that alarm rang. He explained his reason for using the word which stands validity, but I am still confused by the fallacious statement made by many here.
If he had used the word “accountant”, and showed the subject in a well decorated sitting room with expensive furnishings, the attack would have been different. It would have been about the lifestyle of his accountant, and how well he had spent his share pf the money stolen from the treasury to support his lifestyle.
Dare is Obasanjo’s son fine, What i don’t get is the relevance of his life, his identity, his source of income or his state to the subject of discuss. All this fallacious statements made by many if not all, is not fair.
You do not have the right to assume nor judge Dare. His father is a corrupt president. Fine, address the corrupted practices or anything of such relevance.
We sometimes get so emotional and loose our main cause. I sincerely think Dare was not given a fair chance, that would be given if he werent OBJ son. He had the courtesy to even apologize and made corrections, yet of course he is not human, he is ObJ’s son.
The only flaw with Dare, that belittle him were statements that he made here, which really shocked me, nonetheless he is human just like anyone else.
I stand by my argument, Dare does not deserve all this.
May 7th, 2007 at 3:06 pm (#)
Kazey, I 2nd your motion.
The point however is, he brought himself by responding to every insult hurled at him (initially) which was absolutely unnecessary. He should have simply apologized and left it there.
Well, we’re only human and DO make mistakes.

I am apologizing on Dare’s behalf he could be like that sometimes and lest i forget sometimes he forgets to use his drugs,am very sorry for the statement about the servant thing. Best wishes

Imnakoya, I speak on behalf of my dear Dare. He should be given a medal for getting the most comments on the blog - dont worry about the reason why. Afterall his pops is being decorated daily for goofing and bringing Nigeria into disarray by Sycophants, at least until May 29 when he shall go into self exile at his Ota Farmatraz. Dont worry about having to purchase 1, a friend bought one of Bokassa’s many medals in auction, had one of idi-Amins shipped to him and last year he got hold of one of Sadam Husseins medals. He has volunteerd all three. The last to OBJ the IAM, the second to IWU the IIS. He was going to give the third to AGAGU in Ondo State but has now changed his mind and is offering it to Dare Obasanjothe Wannabeeeee.

Dare, i see that you are intoxicated in your arrogance..Like father like son. No human being is infallible, you should have simply accepted your mistake, and it won’t have become such a big deal.
But, please let us spare him… He already has it bad enough from Nature. Why should anyone look that unsightly. Can you imagine how awful Dare must feel about his looks. I swear if i had Dare’s resemblance - I will just buy a rope - Dare, I’m sure their is a Walmart close to you. Just buy one ( it’s on sale) - of course you know what to do with it.

Dare, you shouldn’t have bothered with any responses.
like any other celebrity, you’ll have haters. LOTS OF THEM.
unless of course you go about pretending to be someone you’re not in order to satisfy everybody, which is impossible.
i like that you’re being yourself. I was even surprised that you put the pics up. how often do we get to see aso rock up close and personal. So, thanks for providing a lil’ bit of insight and access.
too bad it was only criticism you got instead.
funny how someone asked you if you took permission from the “helper” to take his pics, but didn’t ask the owner of this blog whether or not he took permission from you to use your pics. lol
anyways, good to know you corrected the caption.
the “servant” comment definitely was degrading and condescending esp. in the ears of those of most of us who have live in the “politically correct” western world for a while.
I hope Nigeria gets there and far beyond soon!!
May 8th, 2007 at 8:05 pm (#)
You guys chill! I understand why some people would have found the caption unfair, but how many unfair captions do we read in the papers everyday? It is plain wrong to insult Dare’s father-how would you feel if people talked about your fathers with such disrespect? And let’s face it our fathers are NOT perfect. Meanwhile, you say Obasanjo is corrupt blah blah blah. Believe it or not, he has achieved quite a bit in his two terms. If he’s bad, then wahat was IBB? What was Abacha? Come on guys, let Dare live. Nobody has the right to judge another human being!
May 9th, 2007 at 2:38 am (#)
Turaki, even if i agree with you - mind you i dont, one thing i will say is, no one has the right to keep on judging and comparing Nigeria with negative, low, insulting and corrupt standards. Why havent you tried to compare Obasanjo with eminent statesment - Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill or even Rawlings who made a difference. Who agreed that IBB and Abacha were good. Who cares for them now and what has their name gone down in the history books as? Come on, should this be the way forward for Nigeria? What right has OBJ to judge and manipulate Nigerians, dragging our names in the mud, killing and maiming and generally frustrating all good efforts of the gallant and correct minded few. This i believe is why Dare is enjoying the frustrations and comments lashed out at him. Dare did say on 3rd May that he is happy he has given we Naijas room to let out our frustration. Please Turaki, dont stop us or else you could find suicide bombers in Nigeria soon.
As for imperfect fathers, please speak for yourself and do not also judge for your dont know about all other fathers. Practice what you preach dearie. In the meantime, with freedom of speech where Obasanjo cannot sent Ehindero to capture, torture and butcher…..THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES, even if due to Dare Obasanjo’s stupidity and arrogance.

Do children of murderers deserve to be harassed? Or rapists’ mothers? There is a forum for everything, it’s cool to disagree with something but to be downright disrespectful about his father is LOW. How would YOU feel if somebody talked about your father like that? And Dr.Moses, come on! I feel you on the whole fight against coruption, but why direct it at the man’s son?? Seriously, do unto others as you would like to be done unto you. People dissing his looks and all that just show how classless they are. Was that how MLK and Nelson Mandela brought about change in their countries? By dissing people’s children? As for DELTA BABE, you must be a big FOOL. What a daft statement. Oh, the surroundings are dirty and all Yoruba people are dirty. I’m not Yoruba, but you’re a terrible spokesperson for Nigerians; you make us look shallow, stupid and downright moronic.

You are really as daft as your protege Dare and judging by your response to Dr Moses and Delta Babe you are the real moron in this discurse. You even totally missed the point on worthy leaders… My father if he were alive would ensure he does not become a hated fellow and in answer to your question my father lived a worthy and respectable life. Although you dont really like me saying this but Dare and his father by their actions and words deserve all they get. I see the others have gone the way of silence to you as this is the best answer for a …. and I will need to do this so as not to be drawn into a war of words with a nonentity.

Many of us have heard aunties, or friends of families say to their househelp, “why are you so stupid?” or something equally stupid they’d never say to their own kids?

Dear Omodudu, believe me, some of us Nigerians are not finding any fun in so many occurences in Nigeria and especially the latest turn of events concerning the dastardly elections and the future of our children and posterity in Nigeria. We are really pained we cry both physically and emotionally and do voice our opinions in many different ways. Maybe this is why it is hard to swallow insults when added upon injury. As if things are not bad enough I hear that N32billion is being approved for the innauguration of Yaradua! Wont be surprised if there is a revolution in Nigeria at this rate. It is indeed a shame.

I reserve my comments for this Dare dude. There is no further addo in adding insult upon injury to an ignoramus presido son. I think though, reading through all the comments, we are evolving as a nation. This conversation is not only therapeutic, but it shows that we are having a discourse; however unhealthy, to right a wrong to an ordinary Nigerian citizen. Since Dare has grown some balls to correct his mistake, I will cut him some slack here…if only his father corrected all the mistakes he unleashed on Nigerians this past 8 years before he leaves office, we would have been singing halleluya and not be blastscattering him with insults. But that is what a corrupt, visionless president gets for bad leadership!
However, for those of you who are still pissed off and mad as hell and want to chinese kick this Dare dude’s ass from Yankee back to Otta Farm, please do not hesitate to vent your anger…at least, we know where he is in Atlanta, GA.

Dare Obasanjo(he is a carbon copy of his father BTW! ) posted some pics of his father’s 70th birthday bash and all hell broke loose over the caption on a picture he took of a man servant in his quarters,. People got very angry for his use of the word "servant" even though it appears in the english dictionary for domestic help. I guess people were very sensitive and felt he was dehumanising the said individual(I must open a topic on how best to address/treat domestic help and would like your thoughts) Thats not even the issue, the issue is that he now answered back on some blogs quite rudely and all hell broke loose. Please read the blogs and responses for more info: DARE OBJ’s BLOG-PICTURE THAT CAUSED THE RUCKUS He changed the name to "domestic staff" after the uproar DARE OBJ’s PIX OF DAD’S BIRTHDAY I didnt know there was a zoo in Aso rock?

It is so amazing how the mind of a self-acclaimed master works, as in the case of Dare Obasanjo. Thinking of how the fool keep on defending his action of calling a fellow human being a sevant makes one wonder, when will all these end? In a modern world, it is offensive, hell a criminal act, to have one, not to mention naming a fellow human being one. Why are we all against the white men? was is not because in not too long they called some group of people servants? then what is the deal?
Not that we all havent been guilty of calling someone, a houseboy, housegirl etc before, but that was when we were little and know little or nothing about civilization. Hell, this is the 21st century. Dont we need to change? some of us have, and obviously, alot havent.
