Don't mind some people who don't even know the composition of Nigeria state or it's politics.

Everything to them is tribalism or better the FG. Ever since I found out most people in Nigeria are ignorant of it's composition , I stop engaging them or better still englighting them.

No one objected to a southern name, but you have been too lazy to make the suggestion all these years , and now you are envious of the dead. The suggestion wasn’t made by the government.

He was the founding Managing Director of the New Africa Holdings (publishers of the defunct Democrat newspapers).

Funtua was elected Vice President to the late MKO Abiola as President of the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria, NPAN. He declined to succeed MKO as President while the latter being incarcerated by General Sani Abacha.

He later became the President of the NPAN. Funtua, who was the youngest minister in the Shagari administration, was a staunch defender of a free press and free speech, philanthropist, humanist, chairman and director of many successful companies.

Until his death on Monday, Funtua was a life patron of the NPAN.

The above is a quote from Vanguard newspaper
