“Leaders Chosen by God Have Higher Chances of Success” — Obasanjo on Leadership Stories

Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo recently shared his thoughts on leadership, highlighting that leaders chosen by God are more likely to succeed compared to those who emerge through more sinister influences.
He made this point during an engaging Zoom session titled Boiling Point Arena, which was broadcasted on several private radio stations in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
The conversation touched on Obasanjo’s legacy, his views on current governance in Nigeria, and his reflections on the nature of leadership itself.
Obasanjo, known for his forthright opinions and decades-long influence in Nigerian politics, asserted that not all leaders are divinely appointed.
He explained that while many leaders are guided by God’s will, there are others who rise through the influence of Satan.
Drawing from Biblical examples, he illustrated how God uniquely prepares certain individuals for leadership roles, sometimes without them realizing it.
He cited the story of Joseph, who, despite facing numerous challenges including betrayal by his brothers, was ultimately elevated to a position of power in Egypt.
Joseph’s journey, according to Obasanjo, was marked by dreams that hinted at his future leadership.
On the other hand, Moses, who led the Israelites out of Egypt, didn’t have prophetic dreams but was nonetheless prepared by God for his mission.
Obasanjo emphasized, “God has a way of grooming people for leadership, even if they don’t see it coming.
When a leader is truly chosen by God, they have a greater chance of succeeding. But not every leader falls into that category.”
He expressed skepticism toward the common belief that all leaders are God-ordained, suggesting that some come to power through less righteous means.
He further referenced the Biblical story of Job, where Satan’s role as a tempter demonstrated his capacity to influence lives.
In this story, Satan sought permission from God to test Job’s faith and loyalty, underscoring his potential to shape outcomes and challenge leadership.
Obasanjo warned that the power of Satan should not be underestimated, stating, “Satan may lack salvation, but his power is real and significant.”
The former president, often referred to as the “Ota farmer” due to his large farm in Ota, Ogun State, reiterated that true leaders must undergo rigorous preparation and training.
In his view, effective leadership demands more than ambition; it requires experience, resilience, and a deep sense of purpose.

Nurse Explains How Mohbad Got Sick and Died After Receiving Injection at Home

An auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, recently testified before the coroner investigating the death of Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad. The hearing took place at the Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Saturday, where Ogedengbe gave a detailed account of the events leading up to Mohbad’s death.
Ogedengbe explained that she completed her nursing training at Cornerstone Hospital in Akute, Ogun State, from 2014 to 2017. She worked at the hospital for a year before relocating. She stated that on September 11, 2023, a client named Ayobami Sodiq, also known as Spending, contacted her to treat a friend who had injured his hand. Spending suspected that a piece of glass was stuck in the wound.
Due to traffic, Ogedengbe couldn’t attend to the patient that day but went the next day, September 12, around 2:30 p.m. When she arrived at Orchid Estate in Lekki, she realized the patient was Mohbad. She met Mohbad, his wife, and Ayobami in a room.
Ogedengbe said Mohbad’s right hand was swollen. After confirming that he had an ulcer, she decided not to give him a diclofenac injection and instead administered 4ml of paracetamol and 1ml of water intravenously. She also gave him a diluted 10ml ceftriaxone injection for pain and to treat any bacterial infection.
While receiving the ceftriaxone, Mohbad said he felt like vomiting. Ogedengbe stopped the injection, and Mohbad went to the toilet to vomit. When he returned and sat on the floor, Ogedengbe noticed goosebumps on his body. Mohbad’s wife said this was a normal reaction and suggested pouring water on him to help.
His wife took him to the bathroom and began pouring water on his head. Meanwhile, Ogedengbe and Ayobami went to find a pharmacy to get hydrocortisone and saline infusion for the allergic reaction. The first pharmacy didn’t have the medication, but they found it at a second pharmacy around 3 p.m.
While at the pharmacy, Ayobami received a call saying Mohbad was convulsing. Ogedengbe told him to arrange for Mohbad to be taken to the hospital. By the time they returned to the house, Mohbad had been moved outside, and the hydrocortisone and saline infusion couldn’t be administered.
Since no vehicle was available, a neighbour offered to drive them to the hospital. Ogedengbe sat in the front with Mohbad’s wife, while Mohbad, Ayobami, and Mohbad’s brother, Adura, sat in the back. Heavy traffic slowed them down, so Mohbad was transferred to a motorbike while Ogedengbe ran behind it.
It took about 20 minutes to reach the first hospital, where the staff initially hesitated to treat Mohbad. They eventually performed CPR, but the doctor pronounced Mohbad dead. Ogedengbe informed the doctor about the medications she had given Mohbad.
Darosha, another friend, arrived and insisted on taking Mohbad to another hospital. Mohbad’s wife accompanied Darosha while Ogedengbe and Ayobami followed in an Uber. At the second hospital, the medical team confirmed there was no pulse. The doctor spoke with Ogedengbe and then consulted Mohbad’s family members, Darosha and Spending.
They stayed at the second hospital for about an hour before returning Mohbad’s body to the house around 8 p.m. Later that night, Ogedengbe, Ayobami, Mohbad’s lawyer, and Ogedengbe’s cousin went to the police station at Orchid Lekki to report the death and seek a death certificate. The police advised them to visit Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah for a police report.
Ogedengbe’s testimony was followed by a cross-examination from the lawyers representing Mohbad’s family, his wife, and the state government. The case was adjourned to March 21, 2025, for further hearing.

Corps Member Faces Threat from NYSC Official After Criticizing Tinubu

A corps member serving in Lagos State has raised the alarm after allegedly receiving threatening messages for criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
In a viral TikTok video, the corps member, known as @talktoraye, expressed frustration over the rising cost of living and economic hardship under Tinubu’s government. She openly called out the president, describing him as a terrible leader and questioning what steps the government was taking to address the country’s worsening economic situation.
She also complained about the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, saying it hasn’t been helpful since she spends more than the allowance she receives.
“If more Nigerians speak up about what we’re facing, maybe things will change,” she said. “I don’t know if there’s any other president as terrible as you, but you are such a terrible president.”
She described how the cost of food and essentials keeps increasing every week, leaving her overwhelmed. “I went to buy foodstuff, and everything has gone up again. A crate of eggs now costs N6,500. It makes no sense because I remember when eggs were N800,” she said.
She also mentioned the rising cost of utility bills and transportation. “After shopping, I got home to find out the security and NEPA bills have doubled. It’s crazy. Every penny I make goes into paying bills. Even taking an Uber with a friend now costs N25,000. Why is everything so expensive?”
After the video gained attention, the corps member said she started receiving threatening messages, allegedly from NYSC officials. She later posted another video where she was reportedly on a call with an NYSC official who scolded her and demanded that she delete the video.
“Are you normal? Keep quiet and take down that video,” the official allegedly told her.
