Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, often known as Ali Baba, is a famed stand-up comedian and actor from Nigeria. He recently drew attention to an incident he had with Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the comedian posted a video of himself and Obasanjo on his Instagram page and said he was constantly impressed by how the senior statesman understood Nigerian politics.
Ali Baba claims that a few years ago, someone (name withheld) made a comment about Obasanjo that hurt his old boys and prompted them to want to respond.

He claimed that the former president rejected their request and admonished them not to speak back or bring it up in the future “because the guy they are beating their heads against the wall for will still ask him for a favor.”
The comedian added that Obasanjo’s word came to pass and he is thankful that he didn’t bet with him because he would have lost a lot of money.
He wrote: “Sometimes, I look back to time spent with this elderstates man, Baba Obasanjo. And I marvel at how well he reads the Nigerian Polity.
“These days when these things he had said would happen happen, I call him and say “Baba you said this will happen.
“Thank God I don’t bet. I would have lost plenty bets. Few years back, someone said something about him. And some of his close people came to meet him in Abeokuta, and they were very angry. They said they wanted to respond to the person. Baba refused and warned them never to respond or bring it up.

“He then added, “That person that said what you are hitting your head on the wall for, will still walk through this my door in the nearest future, to ask a favour”. “Jekon ma sankan to hun wan”. And it came to pass.
“As usual, I called Baba to greet him and after many catching up, I mentioned the day that he said that the person who said that thing, that his Old Boys were very upset about, would come and seek his support on something. He also said… never mind. When it happens I will update you guys again.”
