We 9ja are very good at rewriting history.

Will a lawyer's documents on his client include ones proving his guilt?

Very funny people.

You cannot be cosy with most of 9ja's elites over decades and friends with coup plotters and be clean. Not possible.

He won the election though, they should have let him rule. Period.

Ibooooo.IBO. IBO. If late Oliver de Coque had sung against those criminals engaging in drugs smuggling, rituals & 419 in his days, it would have been easy to understand where your foolishness begins, rather, he sang their praises.

If Gani Fawehinmi had been Lawyer to both Fela & MKO, surely he must have an insight to their feud.

Actually, Abiola sued Fela but it was withdrawn, either due to the bad publicity to Abiola or the impending loss.

What Abiola did, as claimed by Fela, was that Abiola made a false allegation of robbery against Fela, that Fela robbed Abiola's wife even though Fela claimed he was having a show at NTA, several miles from where the robbery occured.

Fela was jailed on this lie from Abiola.

There is a full Fela documentary that was shot by the French government. I'll have to look for it. Fela said so many things in that documentary.

I would keep saying it, if Abiola had ruled this nation, he will fail because the people he had relationship were corrupt, he wasn't a saint also. My Dad told me how he sponsored NPN thugs to frustrate the party Awolowo and Bola Ige belonged to.
But my Yoruba people sabi hype sha, may be because they control the media.

Igbo and Yoruba are like two parallel line that cannot meet.
They are talking about your afonja people and not Ojukwu the tormentor of your grandfathers and KANU the tormentor of your time.
Let's put it this way, Abiola is greater than Oduduwa your fallen demon and FEMA greater than Awolowo.

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...

Realdeals:
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!

Abiola was a well known full blown fraudulent criminal. Fela fought him because his corrupt n nothing more.

Abiolas wife was killed because of the Money Abiola laundered for Samuel Doe (Former president of Liberia if I remember correctly) and Babangida to the tune of Hundreds of millions of dollars. The money was laundered thru Madame Kudirat Abiolas Foreign accounts. She and Abiola refused to relinquish the Money later and that is the main reason why they died.

MKO is an International thief thief who sponsored many coup in our nation's history.

You nailed it Sir! I seem not to understand why we glorify thieves from time immemorial. MKO has always opposed AWO,BOLA IGE&Whoever because of greed in all of them(As a matter of fact, no sane selfless persons gets to lead in this part of this world), MKO also connived & financially supported the military "boys" to overthrow whichever government was in power untill he was served in his own stew, Reason KARMA can never forgive: We wouldnt have been better off if he was sworn in way back 1993 because he is No saint. Corruption & Greed are the basis for OCT 1st independence as we were not even ripe enough for such and reason we are still in this mess and it gets messier!

The same way some useless documentaries tried to paint buhari as saint and against what the great fela said. We all could see history repeating itself now.

Fela just doesn't attack politicians for no reason. He does extensive research before making a song. That's why politicians hardly sue or anything. He will even challenge them to take him to court that he will open book for them.

Abiola is just a British mole like fela song said and just another thiefing politicians like the rest.

While I believe June 12 does deserve to be declared democracy day, I still don't have any regard or respect for abiola. He is just another greedy politician who died fighting for his mandate. Nothing spectacular.

I don't know any infrastructure or anything tangible to abiolas name. Yet people think he is the messaiah ..



Nobody ever should compare the great FELA to Abiola.

It is easier to create account using any name on nairaland. The bitterness of the IBOs will never change the fact that Fela, MKO & Obj are all from the same place.

For anybody to have called late Bar Alao Aka Bashorun a thief shows the level ignorance of that person.

On nairaland, you read a lot of propaganda that makes one think they are coming from radio Biafra. Late Baba Lamidi Adedibu had told us about how late Chukwumerije was the director of Biafra Information giving false & manipulated information during Biafra on an unimaginable scale. What we have witnessed in recent time is a replica of Biafra propaganda machinery.

They hold to Fela songs without reasoning. Even if the egbas of their generation come to say something, they will not believe. If Femi Kuti comes here to say contrary to their imagination they will insult him.

No actress or celebrity that is brought on social media that is good except she is from their zone. No businessman is appreciated except he is their kinsman. No Nigerian footballer is good except he is their kinsman. Even when Nigeria scores, they are more interested in the scorer whether he is their kinsman. I just pity them. Psychological imprisonment.
