Did u read this...................he is rumored to have killed 500 rebellious ...........

Sorry, so rumoured, which means there's every probability that it is a lie right?

If it's a lie, why then should he be honoured?

We should take time to remember this soldier because most teenagers I've met have never heard of his name or knew what he did ... So I just dropped this opinion so his name won't go extinct in the history of Nigeria



Can I know your opinion

Fine with me, since the billions made here will be ferried to south east

The more reason why his name should be immortalized. He did the unthinkable. Yet a mystery to us. Scorpion was too much.

Well, he died like Nigeria will one day do. Abandoned, rejected, miserable, poor and forgotten.

Not a bad idea, I. support the renaming of Alaba international market to Adekunle market. It's a good idea, and I mean it with all sincerity.

He died a miserable poor man, who couldn't afford his medical bills, and he was abandoned and forgotten, as his plea for help fell into deaf ears.

How is he a national hero? For helping the Yoruba/Northern partnership keep the fraud known as Nigeria one? He was a failed Soldier who was unceremoniously retired. He should have been sent to The Hague to answer for war crimes.

It's d igbos who own that market now that can decide what it will be called. If they like let dem name it oduduwa market, igbos will simply refuse calling dier market by that name.

This is no brainer. Scorpion (Benjamin Adekunle) during the civil war was Ibo nemesis. The Nigerian nation secret weapon against the rebels. he is rumored to have killed 500 rebellious ibos with just a bullet. By the mention of the name scorpion, the late coward, ojukwu normally pee in his pants anytime these rebels meets to re strategise. Knowing fully well how troublesome some ibos are at alaba, calling the place after this Nigerian hero may cut their excesses.

Good idea by Op. Ambode should consider this no doubt.

Hmmmmm! Ok ooo, I am happy that if those of us young people today who cannot tell how the man started or what his legacies are, we can at least tell how he ended. We know the later part of his life was the true definition of hell. If I were to be his son (thank God I am not), I would have openly asked for forgiveness on behalf of his father. I am sure the curse the man is carrying will be enough for 5 generations after him.

And for you celebrating him hear this: May your life be like that of Adekunle. If u don't say amen it means u are spineless.

One died in honor by 40 million people, plus state burial, the other died after being a crack addict, and never amounted to anything in life except prostrating to Northern Islamist lol.

Anyway, is there anything named after Fajuyi?
