Who Is The True Face Of Hero In Nigeria? by Nobody: 3:07am On Sep 14, 2009
We've have them all kind of people in this country.Most seem like hero but not many nigerians see them as villains.

Awolowo brought edge on his people:the yorubas over other tribe but they saw him as a bethrayal of one naija.

Murtala made things easier as a head of state,he was openly condemned but later praised after his demise.

Ojukwu wanted biafra for his tribe but instead spearheaded an insurgency against the nigerian govt in which milions were killed.

Tunde idiagbon brought high-handedness which brought in discipline but the same spirit of high-handedness made their govt unpopular & now caused a stain of buhari political record.

Babangida introduced chop i chop govt a.k.a decree 4:19" yet he still has interest in becoming a president just like obasanjo who was given a free ticket but wasted it because he was too careless.

Abacha,may God forgive him.

Abiola brought hope 93 but he never made it because of his rumoured complicity in previous coups,anti-western policies & proposed islamization of nigeria which yaradua is now implementing.


El-rufai made abuja a small london,restored the abuja masterplan but threw people to the street;does not give a damn about court orders but he dashed pdp loyal members lands in abuja and now,the cant even stay in nigeria any longer despite his commitment to the third term agenda and the making of yaradua a presido.

Nuhu ribadu was a household name during obasanjo regime.Though he was strongly accussed of selective justice but he was the first person to champion the fight against corruption during that republic;openly accussing about 27 ex-governor of corruption.He made ex~gov turned senator saminu turaki confessed to stealing #17 billionaira in a day,made dsp alams and dariye a bisexual laughing stock and ran after yaradua major campaign financier jame ibori that was recently awarded a #40 billion contract to compensate him and just last week,ribadu is a wanted man for false asset declaration despite being dismissed from the police.

Tony Annenih,bode george, Abeg forget about those old fools they will continue to get appointment in as much as they can deliver their zone.Board chairmen npa indeed,dont know what they got to offer.

Atiku fought strongly against third term agenda & won.He was accused of involvement in various contract scandals eg halliburton,siemens etc which him to be campaign handicapped for the 2007 election.Despite his struggle against 3rd term,nigerians didnt vote for him.

Cecilia ibru nice woman but got herself in financial Bleep-up.

Adenike grange highly placed woman turned health minister but was used as an accomplice in crime by civil servants.

P Etteh,hair dresser turned speaker disappointed the female folks with her etteh-gate scandal.

Dora was very vital in nafdac then but now she has been rebranded to another thing.

Gani fawehinmi,a great lawyer but was never given an opportunity to rule nigeria.Up ncp

fashola is trying to bring the old glory of lagos to live but he couldnt deal with the street urchin that rig election for him just like oshiomhole who talks too much,ten months later not a single change has touched his state.

These are some of the people who look up to yet some of them are stained.Who truly then is the face of hero that this country will never forget.

I admire awolowo!!!

Nigerian women I saw, while travelling to Onitsha, carrying tree trunks on their heads. Might not have been environmentally friendly chopping down those trees but, dear god the beauty, dignity, poises and strength of those slender women was unbelievable. I do not believe all those bodybuilders who participate in the World Strongest Man competition could have lifted those huge, long tree-trunks, let alone walks with them for miles as those women did.

Ordinary Nigerians are heroes. Bloomin wonderful people.
