With background sounds of heavy traffic, You're hearing the intersection of 44th Street and 2nd Avenue in New York City.
The northeast corner of this intersection is significant to the Nigeria story for two reasons. First, it is the site of Nigeria's mission to the United Nations and their New York consulate. Second, the New York City Council has renamed this corner Kudirat Abiola Corner.

To understand the significance of Kudirat Abiola we have to go back to 1993, the last time Nigeria experimented with democracy. Kudirat's husband, Moshood Abioloa, ran for President and he won but the election was annuled by the then head of state Ibrahim Babangida

That street was named in the hey days of Abacha govt, to spite Abacha. They proposed to name another for ken saro Wiwa, I can't remember. Abacha retaliated, I think, by renaming d street where American embassy was located in Lagos Louis farrakhan.Jerry Gana,Abacha's minister of information, make mouth die....how time flies, 17 years ago!

Best when you make a mistake, you accept your mistakes. No body is a know it all.
Worse when you make a mistake but try to cover it up with a lie.

Abiola didn't Win the election, some states result were not release though he was leading and the election was annulled. While the 2015 election when some result were still coming yes buhari was leading but wasn't declared winner.THAT was why abiola was charged for Felony,so abiola didn't win the election please he was leading
