In his memoir, ‘My Watch’, he revealed his number of children in the order they were born. Of the highly-successful 20 children, 19 are biological, except Kunle, his nephew. He revealed that 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.
