Nigeria's former president, Olusegun Obasanjo while speaking at a thanksgiving service of the Christian Association of Nigeria on Thursday, January 2 said as a Christian, he will only work towards doing the right things in life.

"God has done a lot for me. I want to do things that will make God show His Mercy on me*** I can't lie to God.

"Those of you who where I was born, how many of you know Ibogun-Olaogun? The village where I was born is so small that no matter how large you make the map of Nigeria, Ibogun-Olaogun will never appear," Obasanjo said.

"And yet, somebody born in that village of pure illiterate parents will have the opportunity that I have now, to reach the stage that I have now, to reach the stage that I have reached to be used to achieve whatever I have been used to achieve, I cannot thank God enough."
