    Photos : Laughter on Social Media as Obasanjo Donates Chimpanzee Named ‘Patience’ to a Zoo

    Nigerian on social media are currently making a mockery of a former Nigerian president, Olusegun Obasanjo for donating a Chimpanzee they jokingly termed as his look-alive to a zoo and the fact that the animal is named Patience which remains them of the former first lady, Patience Jonathan has attracted more humor.

    “Seen here at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library Wildlife Park in Abeokuta – from left: Peter, Liza with Patience, and Mr. President.
    Pandrillus, a conservation organisation based in Nigeria and Cameroon disclosed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo donated a chimpanzee named ‘Patience’ to them.
    The organization, with a location in Calabar, Cross Rivers State, are dedicated to promoting the survival of the highly endangered Drill (Mandrillus leucopheus) and providing safe haven for orphaned chimpazees.
    They shared this photo on their official Facebook page today, writing:
    “As President of Nigeria, he visited Drill Ranch in 2001, and made a follow up visit in 2011. President
    Obasanjo recognises the special care needs of chimpanzees and therefore decided to place 3 year old Patience with Pandrillus so she can grow up in the forest as part of the large chimpanzee group at Drill Ranch Afi Mountain. Thank you, Mr. President!
    Patience is a fantastic chimpanzee who has been well cared for by the staff of the OOPL Wildlife Park. Once she has completed her medical screening in Calabar, she will join the group at the newly completed Nigerian Chimpanzee Center – located at Drill Ranch Afi Mountain in Boki LGA of Cross River State.
    Pandrillus thanks Mr. President and his staff for their logistical support and hospitality during Peter and Liza’s working visit. We also thank Air Peace for carrying all three back to Calabar.
    Welcome, Patience!”
    Meanwhile, some social media users have promised to roll out memes to make fun out of the weird donation based on old jokes about the ‘good looks’ of the Ogun State man.
