He is a member of the generation that saw the beautiful early start of the country called Nigeria and perhaps, unlucky to be seeing the ugly side at the moment.
When PA GEOFFREY OLUJIMI OLORUNSHOLA, the first Nigerian trained Air Force Pilot returned to the country recently, he was more than happy to relate his life experience to Asabe Afrika TV when we ran into him at a trusted son and clergy’s place in Lagos Nigeria, West Africa.
The Ondo State born elder statesman revealed quite a lot about the inequality in the Nigerian state among many other issues.
Bitter with the way Nigeria treated him in the 60s as the first trained Air force pilot, Pa Olorunshola is now afraid for his children and grand children.
He relocated to the United States of America to train as an Engineer after himself and other officers of Southern Nigeria identity were allegedly removed from the Nigerian Air Force in the 60s.
He later returned to Nigeria to take up a job with SHELL PETROEUM and worked for 15 years as Instrumentation and Control System Engineer before finally relocating to the United States of America to raise his family.
In this exclusive, he spoke on President Buhari’s rule, Yoruba activist Sunday Igboho’s self rule agitation and why Western Nigeria need to wake up.
He gave kudos to late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo for opening the minds of many through free education policy of his era.

AS AWESOME AS THIS INTERVIEW WOULD HAVE BEEN, AT A STAGE, BOTH THE INTERVIEWER AND THE INTERVIEWEE WERE TALKING OFF TRACKS. HAVING SAY THIS, THERE ARE FEW VITAL LESSONS TO POINT OUT FROM THE SAYING OF THIS OUR FATHER.
1. BASED ON THIS INTERVIEW, IT IS GLARING THAT NORTHERNERS HAVE BEEN TREATING THE SOUTHERNERS SO BADLY FOR SO LONG OF A TIME, AND AS SUCH WHAT WE ARE SEEING TODAY IS NOT JUST STARTING TODAY.
2. IT SHOWS THAT WICKEDNESS, SELFISHNESS, AND BEING SELF CENTRED ATTITUDE HAS BEEN RUNNING IN THE BLOOD OF OUR SO CALLED SOUTHERNERS KINGS FOR A VERY LONG TIME. HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT LED BY THE NORTHERNERS JUST WAKE UP ONE DAY, SACKED ALL THE SOUTHERN OFFICERS YET NO KING, NOT EVEN ONE COULD CHALLENGE THOSE CRIMINALS FROM THE NORTH???? THEY KILLED DELE GIWA AND NONE OF THEM SAY A WORD. THEY KILLED M.K.O. ABIOLA AND NONE OF THEM SAY A WORD, IN FACT, THEY ENDED UP COLLECTING HUGE SUM OF CASH FOR THE DEATH OF M.K.O. ABIOLA. THEY KILLED TOLULOPE AROTILE, YET NONE OF THESE CRIMINAL KINGS EVER SAY A WORD. FROM OONI, ALAFIN OYO, OLUWO THAT IS RUNNING UP & DOWN FOR THESE FULANI KILLERS TOO NEVER SAID A WORD TO INSTRUCT THE GOVERNMENT IN GETTING JUSTICE FOR THE FAMILY OF AROTILE.
NOW THESE SAME CRIMINAL KINGS PLANNED TOGETHER WITH TINUBU TO GET CHIEF SUNDAY IGBOHO KILLED, THEY THEN SENT SOME OF THE HEARTLESS BOKO-HARAM GUYS WHICH THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE REPENTED TO IGBOHO'S HOUSE IN THE NAME OF OPERATION KILL IGBOHO THEY EVEN INSTRUCTED THEIR ASSASSINS TO CARRY PESTLE ALONG WITH THEM SHOULD IN CASE BULLETS FAILED TO DO A FINISHED JOB, THEY CAN THEN USE THE PESTLE TO SMASH HIS HEAD TO DEATH, AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO THE LATE MR ADOGAN (R.I.P). THE EARLIER WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT OUR SO CALLED KINGS ARE CRIMINALS, AND AS SUCH BE TREATED AS ONE, THE BETTER FOR US.
3. THIS BABA WENT OFF THE TRACK WHEN HE SAID WE SHOULD NOT BE CALLING FOR WAR. THE POINT IS WHO IS ACTUALLY CALLING FOR WAR HERE?? BOTH THE YORUBAS AND THE BIAFRA ARE COMPLAINING VERBALLY THAT THE NIGERIA STATE IS TREATING THEM LESS OF AN AVERAGE NORTHERNERS, INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO THEM , THE GOVERNMENT IS SAYING THE PEOPLE CAN GO TO HELL. NOW THE PEOPLE ARE SAYING THEY WANT TO GO AND THE NORTHERNERS WITH DEW PEOPLE THAT ARE BENEFITING FROM THE CORRUPT SYSTEM ARE SAYING NO, THAT THE PEOPLE CANNOT GO. SO WHO IS CALLING FOR WAR HERE.
4. BABA YOU KEEP SAYING THE NORTHERNERS ARE READY, BUT THE SOUTHERNERS ARE NOT RRADY, REALLY???? THE QUESTION IS HOW HAVE YOU AS AN ELDERLY YORUBA PERSON, ALSO AS A RETIRED MILITARY OFFICER, WHO HAVE YOU TO HELP US GET READY AS A TRIBE???????
5. TALKING ABOUT TITHES. ASABE FORCED THAT QUESTIONON YOU. PLSSSSS NOTE THAT NOBODY FORCES ANYBODY TO PAY, DONATE, OR CONTRIBUTE TITHES OOOOOOOO….
we simply need to sack all that weapons from them . take it over by anymeans necesary.

The first group of officers that started the Nigerian Airforce, enlisted in 1963 and were commissioned in 1967. Baba said he enlisted in 1965 and by 1966 he was already flying but not commissioned. So he was still in training. AVM Osho, AVM Okpere, Gen Abdulsalami Abubakar, AVM Ibrahim Alfa and 26 more persons were the pioneers of the Nigerian Airforce officers Corp.
So sad 😭 😂😂
So so bad journalists, bad presenter, I like the old man, but this journalist is terrible 😞
So instead of honoring Pa G.O Olorunshola by becoming a pilot test instructor emeritus. They sacked him!
Godbless u daddy.Some loose heads among Yorubas now are critizing Igboho e.g Aare Gani Adam's with esabod their spokes woman.Awon Osaka agbaya.
Very true but Buhari will never listen to anyone and so as the fulanis so all the south governments should wake up now and fight this shit fulanis government
GOD BLESS YOU SIR, YOU ARE TRUTHFULL AND VERY VERY SINCERE, TO HELL WITH FULANI CRIMINALS AND ECONOMIC PARASITES FROM SAHARA DESERT.
Papa Obasanjo, Tinubu, the Yoruba elders and those our kings who were still believes in one Nigeria, please, watch this man interview and what the Fulani did to him. This is the time for the southerners to stop deceiving our selves. The Fulani have their hidden agenda against the southerners.
Well done Asabe, and thanks to your guest for his candidness and insightful thoughts. However, I think your guest is a little bit too trusting of Buhari, even though he rightly expressed his disappointment with the former. Buhari was insincere in his so called order to shoot at anyone carrying AK 47. In reality, it was an order to kill any southerner carrying AK 47, while his government in concert with Miyeti Allah is arming Fulani herders (non-Nigerian, imported Fulani from neighboring countries) with AK 47 & other weapons to kill & maim southerners.
Welcome back home sir. Your story is an interesting one, and heartbreaking! I pray that God will heal your wound. I pray that God will restore Nigeria glory back in Jesus mighty name! The battle have gone beyond our own control. But, the battle is not for us, the battle is for God! We shall continue to pray a fervent of a righteous person and I am optimistic that God will listen to our prayers and then, perform His wonders on this our land that is full of milk and honey in Jesus mighty name.
Papa is a very nice person, humble, and so cool. Asabe, well done and good job! Little by little you will get to your promise land in Jesus mighty name! My sincere greetings to Daddy Tibetan.
We shall continue to pray a fervent prayer of a righteous person and I am so optimistic that, God will listen to our prayers.
