- MaxHoppersGhost 4y agoWow. I like how his son’s Twitter profile talks about inclusivity. Very brave.
- melvinmelih 4y agoHe very cleverly took his name out of his dad's wikipedia entry. It's still there in older versions: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Olusegun_Obasanjo&oldid=15385739 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Olusegun_Obasanjo...

- googlryas 4y agoWhy even reference it then? We have understood that sins of the father are not the sins of the child since at least the book of exodus(~500BC). If that tweeter has done something wrong in his life, then talk about it. But he didn't really have a choice on who birthed him. From the wiki page: > Some of his children were resentful that he gave them no special privileges and treated their mothers poorly.
- billjings 4y agoI went to Georgia Tech with Dare. It's a great school, but it's not exactly the kind of place you send your scions of privilege.
- 3001 4y agoThats funny, sure going to Gtech for an American as an undergrad doesn't scream privilege but seeing that today the total cost of going to such school will run you around 400k as an international student, while millions of people graduate high school in Nigeria and have to go through the hunger games of Jamb for extremely limited spots due to the lack of investment in education lead by his dad and cohorts tells a different tale. Someone like him not born to such father in Nigeria, will likely be an high school teacher getting paid $100 every 4 months.
- googlryas 4y agoAre you just assuming his dad paid for his school? Do you know if he received any scholarships? Do you know the finances of his mother/mother's side of the family?
- stefan_ 4y agoA scholarship? People from Nigeria can't even get a visa into the US.
- Sebguer 4y agoThis is absolutely bullshit.
- prottog 4y agoThat's not even true in September 2022[0], let alone throughout the whole immigration history from Nigeria to the US. There are a quarter of a million immigrants from Nigeria in the US.

- billjings 4y agoIt's not because of the price point that you wouldn't send your overpriveleged kid there. It's because they'd run a decent chance of flunking out.

- Kbelicius 4y agoWe have also understood that sins of the father are sins of the child since at least the book of genesis(~500BC).
- niyikiza 4y agoWow! That's next level Ad Hominem & Genetic fallacies
