Ola Johnson:
I've read that before, the question is, this he win the election or not?
The answer is a resounding YES, HE WON THE ELECTION (though he wasn't announced as the winner, but we all know that he was coasting to victory.)
But WAS THE ELECTION ANNULED?
WAS HE ABLE TO CLAIM HIS MANDATE? (after truncating other peoples hope)
DID HE DIE WHILE REFUSING TO ACCEPT REALITY? (of course he must have known how brutal his 'Military' friends were.)
My dear Ola Johnson, IT PAYS TO ALWAYS BE FAIR TO ALL INVOLVED. Abiola sowed the seed and he reaped the fruit. As sad as it may seem, it is the REALITY.

Tell us about Ojukwo without the record of his gunnery and Agberoism.
Nop let finish with Abiola first
.
Lol Abiola is a true definition of yoruba man cowardice, a man who fought the military without throwing a punch not even knockout in his backyard. Abiola died because he refused to fight on the fear that he will be killed and later still die like fowl inside cage
Abiola death was payment for his evil deeds that's a divine recompense for his alleged political misdeeds so he died a shameful death
Remember maroko land deal against his fellow yoruba man (Obafemi Awolowo)
Remember 1983 coup against ShehuShagari and his many other sins
The annulment of June 12 was the best thing that happened because you can't plant mango amd reap orange

It was the same Abacha that ensured that Abiola returned. Abacha had to change the guards at the airport, replaced them with his own guards and asked them to fly Abiola in from Cotonou. I was close to Abacha to know all these. Abiola landed and trouble started. Then there was the afternoon coup, Abacha took over from Shonekan. As far as Abacha was concerned, his reign was not to be permanent, he had to remove Shonekan to foil Ibrahim Babangida’s plan to come back. Babangida’s intention was to transform into a civilian president.... http:// www.kemifilani.com/2013/06/ secrets-how-mko-abiola-really-died- his.html

taiyesoul:



"intellectual burden?",who the hell are u?.Refering to a Nobel Laurette as an "intellectual burden?".Can u stand him in any way?.who the hell are u?.Has your eduactional background surpassed his acheivement?.70 years ago,where were u?.Dont u have manners at all?.A man like Soyinka stressing the significance and importance of Nigeria's cradle of democratic governance and a demented mind like yours could make such utterances about him!.I guess you are being tribalistic and miopic here.if you need the dividends of democracy,why not contact Jonathan?.No be una vote am there?.Sit there pursuing your shadow,waiting for what your country can do for you rather than what you can do to make a difference.
Have you finished crying? How far today? Is your Soyinka nor his words still relevant in today's Nigeria? How has the Buhari he supported fared? Hope I've been justified about him being an intellectual burden. When adults are talking, children like you should go and play on heaps of sand outside. Thank God we are all alive to see the intelligence of the said intelligencias. They have all gone mute. Lolzzzz.
