Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, on Tuesday revealed that he washed dead bodies as a youth to pay his tuition fees while schooling abroad.
Ajimobi disclosed this at a South-West Youths Regional Summit in Osogbo. The governor, while urging the youth to have a positive mindset toward hard work, said he spent eight years abroad washing dead bodies to survive.
He said his parents only sent him 30 dollars all through his stay abroad, adding that he had to look for a way to survive. I left Nigeria in 1963 to study abroad, but throughout my stay there, I was washing dead bodies to support myself to go to school. When ever I got home from work, I will be weeping, remembering the number of dead bodies I washed. My boss at work then said I should not be afraid or fear, adding that such feeling is normal for first comers.
He encouraged me to always see those dead bodies as iced fish. But against all odds, I survived and that is why I am urging youths to see hard work as the only way to success. I am saying this to challenge the youth of our next generation not to give up.
This is our chance as youths and as Yorubas to come together to chart a successful pathway for the country.
Ajimobi, however, urged Yoruba leaders and governors to unite for the progress of the Yoruba race.

That's it! Explains why he doesn't pay workers on time, why many roads are bad, he thinks they're corpses!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous you are not ok😂😂😂😂😂
DeleteOMG Anon I'm sorry I just had to laugh. Not corpses anymore, he overcame the fear, iced fish.
DeleteHahahaa! No, he sees them as iced fish.
DeleteAnd so what? Some people had it worst than that and they still does. Let me say also that those people didn't get the opportunity to work for oil company or become a governor too.. That should have made him to be sympathetic to those struggling students that he was nasty too. And not to talk about those unpaid civil servants. Her children are very wasteful most especially the eldest Abby. She has a shoe store that the profit couldn't pay the rent and other overheads but yet she has Hermes Birkin bag in different colors
DeleteWashing corpses aint news. People work in the morgue, Doctors/students work on cadavers. We all have to do something to put food on the table.
ReplyDeleteNo mind am. That's why he no get value for humans his use to dead bodies
DeleteAt Kiara. The point he was trying to make doesn't make any sense to me
DeleteSo that explains his inhumane treatment of the people of Oyo state. Why is it that when poor people attain heights of wealth n riches they turn to monster?
ReplyDeleteMr Governor, is this the reason you have not paid workers salary in yiur state. I don't know how you sleep at night knowing that people go to bed hungry, can't pay their hiuse rent, school fees or access good healthcare services. SMH!!!
ReplyDeleteMr governor, you are a wicked man.
ReplyDeleteVery funny! I dissected dead bodies for years in medical school, that's not news! so is that the reason you don't care about the masses and pensioners in your state.
ReplyDeleteLol. Saw his daughter on first episode of the seasons Kuwtk. Rolling with the Kardashians, so much money and luxury amidst so much struggles and anguish!
Instead of her daughter using corrupt money traveling all over the world just to take a picture with those trashy Kardashian or their jobless friend Malika, she should have advise his father to STFU. Then, the so called daughter have no brain as she is not only wasteful but he most vain,shallow and superficial person too.
DeleteWhat do you folks expected from an incompetent person that was made to be a Governor? This man couldn't even govern over his own spoilt children. Again screwed up Governor in a screwed up country
DeleteIs that why for 2 years I haven't secured employment in ibadan? Abeg he should just keep quiet.. oyo is a dead state. Ibadan a glorified village
ReplyDeleteBia, moaner, is your umbilical cord buried in Oyo state?? Are you a tree? Even trees have branches! Aunty spread out, go to other states. Sidon dia dey wail like bob Marley back-up singer!
