Ajimobi said this yesterday at a South-West Youths Regional Summit in Osogbo.
The Governor, while urging the youth to have a positive mindset towards 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.

What country abroad he did not say. Definitely not the UK, all those Nigerians who say they washed dead bodies in the UK are liars. Ask any Nigerian living in the UK or that has ever lived there if they have ever washed dead bodies or know anyone personally that has washed dead bodies and they will tell you no.
DeleteSTFU Ajimobi story teller. Charity begins at home. Please tell your wasteful kids most especially Abisola the value of money. She is the most wasteful kids i have ever seen.
DeleteDon’t mind them bloody liars. Ask them what the process is now and they will begin to stammer or dance around the question.
DeleteI tire o. All my years in the UK even as a social care worker, there was never anything like that. I know of end of life stage but I've only met somebody who worked in end of life.
DeleteBa better money na....
ReplyDeleteIs that why your children don't have work but wasting the state money for their frivolous living.
ReplyDeleteOya Ibadan youth go and wash dead bodies and be like ajinomoto
@ Yori Yori Well said. Very wasteful kids with stolen money from Oyo state. His daughter is staying in expensive hotel in Beverly Hills and carrying one bag Hermes Crocodile Birkin bag worth over 27 Millions Naira and she has more than one and flaunting it on her Instagram page with no care whose or is gored (Only in Nigeria will such shiit happens) and we have Mr Foolish here preaching about hard hark while don't you train your spoilt rotten Jobless kids first? Melanie Trump was criticized in US for carrying the leather version of Hermes Birkin bag that cost 5Million Naira despite marrying to a Billionaire and having her own business unlike your Jobless daughter that is travelling first class all over the world just to be seen with Kardashian's friend. Unfortunately the Media has been silenced. Only in Nigeria
DeleteI read this story in ODM. Didn't know it was Ajimobi
ReplyDeleteLiar to wash corps here u must be a medical attendant and not a student even a medical student can’t
ReplyDeleteFind another lie abeg
Not true.
DeletePlease who are morticians and morticians attendants???
All those that rub lipstick and dress the dead bodies up are they also medical attendants ?
They are specialists who work in funeral parlour. Which Nigerian or African will choose that kind of work abroad no matter how bad.
DeleteIts election time again, let the lies begin.
ReplyDeleteWhy do they even feel the need to tell us all these things when it adds no value to us.
ReplyDeleteSince when did poverty become a prerequisite for leadership like our leaders make it seem.
Abeg we are now wiser and more empathetic towards people who have displayed being responsible and not ostentatious, who are visionaries, empathetic to the poor, service oriented, not alien to the people's suffering.
please he should move away please we have had enough of his high handedness in Oyo State, he will be business reprimanding children subjected to hardship under his leadership but his children will be there lavishing our money in stupid parties abroad and paying to appear on kardishian shows.
If you think your background is that important or relevant to anything of significance why have you refused to pass the same value to your children, how come we see them in ostentatious living on internet and you subject Oyo State student to untold hardship.
Please just park well. Carry your bag and waka pass next year we dont even want to know what you are going through or what you have gone through
how is that news? even oyibo children too hustle. its just children of the rich who just spend anyhow. so if u work abroad its not news...most oyibos cant even pay university for their kids without loans so nothing new.
ReplyDeleteyou choose dead bodies because you knew the pay was better than other jobs so how is that even a sign of wetin u wan tell us sef....there are other jobs abroad but u choose dead bodies..whose fault?
ReplyDeleteSpare us the rhetorics.
ReplyDeleteEveryone does odd jobs in the abroad, you chose to work in a morgue.
Next one Sir!
That's why you want to turn workers in your state to corpse by owing them, bad road & looting their state treasury dry so you & your stupid family can wash, dry & eat their corpse, wicked, hrtless man
ReplyDeleteNow we know. Dead body eater of a governor.
DeleteWhat is the big deal in washing corpses ? Pls look for something else to say..
