THIS DAY
Gbenga Obasanjo’s Divorce Gets Nasty
*Estranged wife spills the beans
By Davidson Iriekpen, 01.16.2008
Gbenga, first son of former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, got contracts from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) while his father was in office, his estranged wife, Mojisola, has claimed.
Mojisola and Gbenga are currently seeking the dissolution of their seven-year-old marriage at the Lagos High Court, Ikeja Division, in Suit No. ID/172HD/2006.
While Gbenga is claiming that his wife was sleeping with the former president – his own father – in order to get government contracts, Mojisola claims her husband has been violent towards her.
In her cross-petition against Gbenga, who is the petitioner, Mojisola is demanding hefty compensation because of the financial status of the husband.
She claimed under �Particu-lars of Income of the Petitioner� that the petitioner (Gbenga) makes an average annual income of N500 million.
According to her, �The Petitioner earns from commissions paid to him as an Agent to a construction company with various construction projects, which was recently awarded an 11 billion Naira construction contract.
�The Petitioner has several construction contracts from Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
�The Petitioner owns substantial shares in an Oil Trading Company, Linetrale Trading Company Ltd, a Company engaged in importing, selling, supplying and marketing of petroleum products.
�The Petitioner also collects oil allocations from Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
�The Petitioner receives payments from Health Aids Support Services, an HIV consulting firm currently working on a transaction with MTN, and some state governments.
�The Petitioner receives commission for brokering different deals on behalf of foreign companies and earns a sizeable commission therefrom.
�The Petitioner received Commission for the supply of 800 vehicles to Ogun State.
�The Petitioner has substantial investment in some Oil Blocks.
�The Petitioner has substantial investment in Glo Oil Ltd. and Hyster Investments Ltd.�
She claimed Gbenga had the capability to earn income because he is a �medical doctor with a Masters in Public Health and a PhD from Johns Hopkins University, USA. The Petitioner has the goodwill of being the son of the serving President of the largest black nation in the world which gives him access to several eminent world political leaders and business personalities all of which he has utilised and continue to utilise and leverage upon to earn considerable income [�] all state governors in Nigeria, Commissioners of various States in Nigeria top executives in the public and private sector of the Nigerian economy.�
She listed the physical estate of her husband as �land in Maitama, Abuja, land in Banana Island, Ikoyi, land in Lekki Phase 1, land in Abeokuta, a house in GRA Ikeja, Peugeot 607, Land Cruiser Jeep 2006 model, Kia Opirus� among others.
She claimed she became aware of the particulars of Gbenga�s income as a result of �prior discussions� between them while they lived together.
As �ancillary relief� for the dissolution of the marriage, Mojisola asked the court for a permanent order directing the Petitioner to pay a lump sum of N54 million for the maintenance of the Respondent (herself) and the two children of the marriage, Boluwatife and Wuraola, till the children attain adulthood.
She also sought an order that the Petitioner provide two of the fleet of cars owned by him for the Respondent and her children’s use together with a chauffeur to be paid by the Petitioner; an order that the family house at No. 8 Ladipo Bateye Street, GRA Ikeja be settled on the Respondent or in the alternative the Petitioner be ordered to pay the sum of N50million to be used by the Respondent to purchase a decent house of comparable standard for the accommodation of the Respondent and her two children; and an order directing the Petitioner to make adequate financial arrangement for provision of security for the two children of the marriage (including adequate security safeguards for the premises where they will be residing) being grand children of the incumbent president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Mojisola is seeking a monthly payment of N300,000 for the period of 15 years or till the children attain adulthood.
She is also seeking that the Petitioner pay a lump sum of �360,000 or its Naira equivalent and $400,000 or its Naira equivalent for the education of their two children of the marriage. The sum of �360,000, she claimed, would cover cost of school fees for a period of six years each for the two children at a secondary school in Switzerland already picked by their father, while $400,000 would be the cost of a four-year degree programme for both of the children in an American University.
Gbenga�s younger sister, Dr. Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello, a former commissioner in Ogun State, is currently being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over claims that she assumed a �fraudulent� identity to help an Austrian company, in which she had interest, to secure power contracts in Nigeria while her father was president.
OBASANJO’S sex scandal is too much ,that man slept with a girl and gave her =N=1000,ONLY FOR THE GIRL TO START CRYING ;
ALL HE COULD SAY WAS THAT WHETHER SHE IS
NOT HAPPY SLEEPING WITH THE PRESIDENT OF HER COUNTRY AND SHE IS THERE CRYING.
so why is the girl crying. while these men are the political evils nigerians have to contend, women like these are the root of these evil. why was the girl crying? does she know how much the highest paid public servant goes home with after a full day of responsible service. if she doesnt love oba why did she sleep with him. or are you suggesting that because he was the president he should pay for the trappings of love. lets be fair please, this men are our leaders we have to show them some unconditional love.
Obasanjo penis should be cut off before he start sleeping with animals, maybe he is a bastard, shame to Yoruba’s they like comitting adultry no custom, not even fear of God.
How can you call yourself Gbenga (meaning you could be Yoruba) and mouth this kind of rubbish? The Yoruba culture doesn’t encourage adultery although we all know that it is something that goes on in every culture and is as old as man. From Obasanjo’s general conduct, it is conceivable that the allegations are true. For one, he is a megalomaniac, (a form of madness), nothing he can do that will really suprise a discerning mind; he strikes one as someone who needs help as he cannot be all there. The Nigerian nation is in this deep shit because animals in human skin like Obasanjo, have been at the driver’s seat at one time or the other. The leadership of Nigeria is getting away with murder because of the complacency of the people which bothers on stupidity at times. Let us not delude ourselves that Nigeria will become an El Dorado in our lifetime except something radical happens; if you want to put a name to it, you can call it revolution. That revolution however cannot and will not be led by the people. I am sorry to say this, they are too dumb and appreciative of the pittance occassionally thrown their way by their thieving lords and masters; the Obasanjos, Atikus, Iboris, Igbinedions, Akalas, Daniels, and the rest of the criminals and dealers parading themselves as leaders. Nigeria is not a country, it is a tragi-comedy; if any radical change is coming, it will come when some members of the horde of slave dealers holding us by the jugular have a change of heart and graciously decide to let the people go. The people are far too used to seeing trillions of dollars go into private pockets while they wallow in PHCN darkness and poverty to care.
What do you mean by saying that yoruba’s commit adultery , i am sure evry single person from your side commit ten times more atrocities.
this is not a fair response; stereotyping is timid and we as nigerians who have contnuosly been victim of it should condem it, one yoruba mans action does not represent the action of every yoruba man. in the same way, that some nigerians fill your mail with some fraud mail does not mean that every nigerian is a fraudster
all i can say is there is so much money available to this people they have taken by force that it has just made them go mad. dats 9ja peeps . . .we try to emulate the Western world, but take it to a whole different level
Interesting statement … but when you say ‘emulate the Western world’ … how so … curious to know
Don’t blame Obasanjo. Most women want to sleep with him. Afterall he will give you something at the end of it. I hear that his penis is very big. Go on soun baba
My own view in this case let us saying sorry for Obasanjo. For slept with his son’s wife. But I am very supplies about life he doing by himself I am ashmed because if American her this history they must blame Nigeria and is a big challenage for Nigeria
Avo! That is all
Comments from MD Okamevu! Oko.
Pls go and educate yourself, your spelling and grammer is terrible
sex scandals are common in all society. Nigerian scandals are worse. I am not blaming OBJ for sleeping with women around. Most Nigerian men will do. Even Local government chairmen, the lowest hierarcy of politicians are cassanovas. Every on of us have had some sexual exploration. What I blame him for his sleeping with his Son’s wife. That is wickedness and an animalistic act. Someone who has access to millions of women, why not leave your Son’s wife. I wont be surprised if OBJ is the father of the 2 kids by MOJI because girls have alleged severally that baba does not like using condoms. He is a goat if he actually fucked his in-law. I am ashamed by his act even though am a cassanova myself. He has brought shame to the Nation, and he should be flogged openly. On moji’s part I need to know if she was druged or jased by juju to be sleeping with his father and father in law. If she did it with her conscious mind. then she should go and hide in the bush forever and not asking gbenga for money, except if she is a bastard. Gbenga is right in his doings and the whole process should not be in camera. the animals should be exposed
Hmmm……if Americans read this, they will blame Nigeria more.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?……….Obasanjo?……..Is this a joke or what?………this is a big shame to Africa!!!!
The victims in all this no doubt are the children!
There is obviously a god of Karma – What goes around comes around.
The twisted and bitter minds of both partents parents especially Gbenga (after reading both affidavits) do them no favours.
The lawyers are going to have a feild day with this one. Sad! Sad! Sad! Gbenga – grow up! take care of your responsibility – remember Manners Maketh a Man.
Advice for both parties – it is very easy to get carried away in the spur of the moment and egged on by so called family and friends but you will look back in years to come and regret woefully what you have put down on paper. Take a step back and reflect – there are never any winners in a divorce – messy or otherwise!
Please can we be civil in our comments here no matter how shocked or upset we think we are about the facts as presented so far!!!
obasanjo is a sicko….
this is a critical and sympathethic issue for us to put the issue under the umbrella of prayers,then weare mocking and tibalising.it is abnormal.may God set peace into thhe problems, it is a devil at work
na him be say wen baba OBJ been president he go don turn,Aso rock to beastiality..and farm sex..i think he be zoofilla
