The post shares a 2022 photo of retired General Olusegun Obasanjo decorating his son, Brigadier General Adeboye Obasanjo, highlighting their shared legacy as father-son generals in the Nigerian Army’s engineering corps.

Obasanjo, Nigeria’s former president and military head of state, rose to full general during the Biafran War; his son, an infantry-trained engineer with combat experience, represents one of few such familial successions in the force.

Recent replies query the son’s current rank amid speculation of promotion to major general, but sources confirm he remains a brigadier as of October 2025, underscoring public interest in military promotions.
