The former Nigerian president allegedly turned 77 yesterday and celebrated with family, close friends and associates at his presidential library in Ogun State. I hear the cake was made to depict his life journey. Notable personalities at the ceremony were; the governor of Ogun State, former governor of Ekiti State (Segun Oni) former Inspector General of Police (Sunday Ehindero) traditional rulers from the state. The irony here is the the former president has revealed that he does not know his actual birth date. He revealed this saying;

“There are those of us 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 path glorious.

I was actually born on Ifo market day because according to my mother, she had prepared to go to the Ifo Market and Ifo market was every five days. And then she was in labour, before those who went to Ifo market could 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.”
