For the very first time in history, the story of the battle between late Afro beat music legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti and Nigeria’s symbol of democracy late Chief MKO Abiola is revealed. Fela who released the album titled ‘International-Thief-Thief’ in the 80s to chastise the late business mogul over his alleged unwholesome deal with an American Telephony firm, ITT, claiming Abiola defrauded Nigeria of millions of naira over a telephony deal for all homes across Nigeria, which he allegedly refused to install but later pocketed the money.
However, son of a late legal luminary Chief Alao Aka Basorun, Segun Aka Basorun has debunked the story that MKO Abiola looted ITT or Nigerian Government. Alao Aka Basorun who is seen as the ‘Godfather of Civil liberty struggle in Nigeria’ was a lawyer to both FELA and MKO Abiola in his life time. Segun Aka Basorun who stumbled on some documents inside his father’s chambers after dad passed away in October 1st, 2005 gave us the full and true details of FELA’s battle with MKO.
Speaking to Asabe Afrika TV team during the celebration of the famous JUNE 12 election’s 25th anniverssary recently, Segun told us the story of the deal that turned both FELA and MKO into sworn enemies. We finally asked him ‘Who is the greatest Nigerian that ever lived between FELA and MKO Abiola?’. His answer will shock you. Enjoy the clip!

Interesting

Limiting the greatest Nigerian who ever lived to only TWO options sounds just like what some "media" people will do to get a sensational headline...

Lol

Are we to believe this your Document or documentary.
You wonder why Abiola never sued Fela himself...Kola Abiola don give this one money.
This Nigeria,most of y'all are criminal.
Abiola died fighting for his selfish ambition.

.

Like rat dey do for corner corner, international thief thief

Abiola stole the money . No doubt

interesting

I no get data for yao yao story. How this story wan take improve my bank acc balance? Nonsense

More respect for the man Fela Anikulapo Kuti.....he spoke and sang bravely against social and moral vices from our leaders without considering ethnicity, position or authority or consequences....


God bless his Mother too...

Ok Na

Abiola was a thief just like tinubu... See as the Abiola shine teeth like who dy do advert for close up

h

Truth be told.. Abiola died fighting for his selfish interest. let's assume d other candidate won d election,would Abiola have joined forces with him to secure d mandate? (cause of our first democratic government). And from all indication,Abiola is not the Saint we are portraying him to be.

No politician in naija is free of thievery

Pass, pass under, under.......then gradually! God bless Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Both of them were great men in their own rights

Fela is the greatest Nigerian as far as am concerned, for his bravery against the deadly military govt, his confrontations against oppressors and his stance on several matters.
Unlike the so called TU-FACEd that obasanjo and buhari ranted on to chicken out of simple protest

Lets stop deceiving ourselves. Abiola is one of the people responsible for the problem of this country. Lets stop glorifying a thief

I did not watch d clip, please can a good citizen of the contry do the watching and summarise for me, thank you

GoTV:
Nobody talks about Ojukwu nor Nnamdi kanu anymore but these two Yoruba legends still grace the front page of national dailies even in death. It's good to be good. Yoruba are indeed very sophisticated and superior.

Whatever makes you sleep at night son.

Tribal goat!

Is your father amongst them?

Even the celebrated is corrupt

This is Nigeria, everybody is.............

Abiola was a big thief

and some pigs from wasteland are celebrating a fraudulent MKO

MKO Abiola was a fraud. Watched some of his videos, read about him from different sources; conclusively, he was no different. Opinions are free, facts are not. The Yoruba's have produced a lot of decent individuals, MKO is not one of them.
