Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, in his memoir, ‘My Watch’, revealed his number
of children in the order they were born. Of the highly-successful 20
children, 19 are biological, except Kunle, his nephew. According to
Obasanjo, he adopted Kunle as his biological child "in every sense of
the word to compensate for his mother being deprived of an education by
our father".
Obasanjo further said in his memoir, "All my
children are frightfully independent and self-assertive. I have started
observing the same traits in their children, my grandchildren. In their
different areas of endeavour, my children have all made a mark. Eight of
them have acquired PhD degrees in their individual areas of learning.
"Almost
all the others have one or two master’s degrees. Iyabo, who blazed the
trail for all of them, needs to
be commended for being a good example
and loving big sister." As listed by the ex-president in his memoir, his
children are Iyabo, Busola, Segun, Gbenga, Deboye, Bola, Kofo, Biyi,
Seun, Bisoye, Olu, Dare, Funke, Damilola, Jonwo, Dayo, Funso, Toyosi,
Bukola, and Kunle.”
