Opinion: Iyabo Obasanjo, No One Would Wish To Have A Child Like You

 

By Victoria Ohaeri:

 

My dear Iyabo Obasanjo,
First off, it is still unclear whether or not you wrote that letter to your dad – ex-President Olusegun Obansanjo – circulating in the media. Your failure to come forward (through a neutral source) to affirm or refute the letter and its contents have forced many to believe that you indeed penned that piece.

Personally, I’ve read the letter, and just can’t hide my disappointment. I’m particularly disappointed because everyone that has read it, and will ever read it must have had issues with their own dads at some point in their lives. Some even have more disastrous relationships with their fathers or parents. Some don’t even know their parents and earnestly pray to have somebody to call father, no matter how irresponsible he may be. I don’t know if you have ever been to the orphanages. Please do…You will understand.

To tell you the truth, throwing mud at your father’s white garment in the village square is the least effective way of redressing such complex family squabbles. What you have done is sacrilegious...

It shows bad upbringing and want of character. It puts a big question mark on the academic background and intellectual quality of the author. By all known cultural, social and global standards, your open letter and its contents are very inappropriate.

The first time Gregg Casarona ever had sex, the walls didn’t just shake — they shattered.
The 200kg project manager was 21 at the time and had been dating his girlfriend Jen Gerakaris for about a month when they decided to take things to the next level.

According to new TLC series “Sex Sent Me to the ER,” premiering Dec. 28, Jen was 22 and living in
her parents’ Long Island basement at the time.

SEASON OF LETTERS: "You Are A Liar!" - Iyabo Obasanjo Attacks Her Father in another Open Letter

In what is turning out to be a season of open letters, daughter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Iyabo, has ruled out further communication with her father till death, describing him as a liar, manipulator, two-faced hypocrite determined to foist on President Goodluck Jonathan what no one would contemplate with him as president.
Senator Iyabo Obasanjo in a letter to her father accused him of having an egoistic craving for power and living a life where only men of low esteem and intellect thrive.

In the 11-page letter dated December 16, 2013 exclusively obtained by Vanguard, Iyabo accused her father of orchestrating a third term for himself as president, cruelty to family members, abandonment of children and grandchildren, and also, a legendary reputation of maltreatment of women.
Iyabo who forswore further political engagements in Nigeria denied any political motive for her missive, and described Nigeria as a country where her father and his ilk have helped to create a situation where smart, capable people bend down to imbeciles to survive. She particularly noted her experience as chairman of the
Senate Committee on Health when she led the committee on a retreat appropriated for in the budget only for her to be prosecuted for it.
Iyabo, first child of the former president, started the letter titled, Open Letter to my Father with a 4th century Chinese proverb by Mencius which states: “The great man is he who does not lose his child’s heart.”

U.S. gay magazine names Pope Francis 'PERSON OF THE YEAR'

Pope Francis has been named 'Person of the Year' by leading US gay rights magazine, The Advocate. The accolade comes on the pontiff's 77th birthday and less than a week after he was named Time magazine's 'Person of the Year'. A photo of Pope Francis, with a photoshopped tattoo on his cheek saying 'NO H8', adorns the cover of the magazine’s December issue.

The cover also includes the quote that earned him the accolade. During a flight back from Brazil in July, he told reporters: "If someone is gay and seeks the Lord with good will, who am I to judge?"
