Olusegun obasanjo,  a farmer,agriculturist,theologian, evangelist, Biographer, autobiigeaoher statesman, a General  , retired but not tired  is in the news today  June 23 2022 for philanthropy. So you think of two Generals,General Douglas  mcarthur who Famously, said old soldiers never die ,they just  fade away chief okikiola 

.obasanjo is not fading away, at least  not  very soon If you come to consider  the way he handled  or footed the football on his 85th  birthday anniversary on national tv, complete with number 85 jersey.  DOUGLAS Macrthur is a film we saw at UNIVESITY of Ife in  Oduduwa hall,of which the hunter,  (one of a Trio known as the Aparo Mafia),wole soyinka, was chairman management  committee and who is said  to be  EVEN NOW in a love -hate relationship  with the farmer -general, olusegun obasanjo.Baba obasanjo a squash raquet officiando.,he  swapped  his squash raquet for a commin Hoe as a sitting  head of state with the Hoe  over his shoulder and marching forward like a soldier in battle ,leading a commando of farmers in operation FEED the NATION.obasanjo Is The classical case of melting swords  into  ploughshares.  A NON-KINETIC STRATEGY. FOR FOOD SECURITY TO HIM IS NATIONAL  SECURITY.HE IS CURENTLY an adviser or consultant  to the international  institute  of tropical  agriculture. agriculture and farming wise, he exemplifies and encapsulates  the words of General  Mark Clark,  of the USA army, that "a leader is able  to do  all  that he asks  of his followers  and more  " .

I  was young enough to be part of that operation.i mean operation Feed the Nation. Mission successful mission accomplished,  now chief obasanjo, uncle sege as he was then known or 007 as he was known in close  circles , or Baba iyabo or Ebora owu, the world's greatest living farmer, has now realigned himself  with operation Zero hunger.
