There is something about his look, that have re-boosted my confidence, about life.
I can't place that thing but solace radiated around his aura.

Unfounded personal opinions should not be bandied as a fact. MKO Abiola was a very dogged politician and a capitalist and the last time I checked Capitalists are not best examples as Moral icon. As a person of Influence and Affluence he had his ways with the top military brass. People are divided on the kind of president he would have been. Some believed that he would have connived with the retired Generals to milk the country dry while others think that as a philanthropist that he would have made the country a better place. However, those that have closer association with him said that he is a highly detribalized Nigerian(But most Capitalists can’t afford to be tribalistic because of their investments and their business associates who might stretch from one end of the country to the other) My personal opinion is that he was a dogged Politician, a detribalized Nigerian and a philanthropist par excellence.

Don't mind the guy jare. Yes, Abiola did some bad stuffs but he was the greatest philanthropist of his generation. In fact, no Nigerian rich man was as generous as MKO even till today.

Chief M.K.O Abiola was the first Nigerian politician I personally admired and followed closely. I can never forget the day I saw him on the campaign ground. Nigeria would have moved forward faster with him as President. May God bless his soul


My late mom was a beneficiary of his benevolence back then .her bakery business was nosediving and she got some cash from MKO to revive the business.it was really a long queue as I was with my mom during this period .

U dont need bashing. What u need is to know.
MKO Abiola never threw bible into the ocean. It was all propaganda. ITT was not his personal company, he was a staff that rose through the ranks and with a stroke of luck (helping the ITT corporation recover some huge debt from the FG) His personal company, RCN is still operating. The only issue he had was his political alignment with forces against the Late Awo towards the 1983 election. They both reconciled in 1989 where Aw christened him OMOBOWALE. That was what ushered him into SDP for the HOPE 93 Campaign.
MKO ABIOLA could not rule Nigeria partly because of his campaign for "Reparation" which did not go down well with world powers most especially, the USA and other well documented issues.

Had he been allowed to actualize his mandate, I believe our story in Nigeria may have been different
RIP ABIOLA

Very Soon in Nigeria, we will breed men/women greater than Chief MKO Abiola across the 36 States.



my brother, it will be very few in our generation that we have slay mamas, yahooplus guys and so on.... those mko, dangote otedola, OTUNBA SUBOMI, ELEGANZA, ADEBUTU KESHINGTON , OKE OWO AND CO were very optimistic about THEIR future..and didnt start thinking about success negatively. though they may later acquire more wealth illegally but they had positive mind towards success unlike our generation that believes only criminal activities can make them successful ..

Nobody is pure...I wont attack you because I'm not pure myself. He was awarded a telecoms contract under ITT, yes and he delivered. That gave birth to the nitel we had in those days nationwide. The PHCN's Disco bought by Tinubu, abdulsalaam Abubakar, madam peace and co, how market? Shey iwo ri ina ninu ile re lati bi ose kan? Abiola never bought any government asset. He never ushered into his house any bullion van to harass people on election day with it through thugs. He was never a selfish man. He grew his business, invested and employed thousands of Nigerians in his business. In his dying days, he asked God for forgiveness for all his misdeeds, including the bibles you said he threw into the ocean. He was caught reading one shortly before he died. People like you who judge would be amazed when you see the position of those you judged while on earth in heaven in the end. Only God can say and know who is truly His, not man.
u claim not to judge others yet,u keep maligning the person of tinubu cuz of unnecessary hatred. pls carry ur hypocrisy shift

You are right Sir! The Nigerian youths are carried away with Fraud and sophisticated Prostitution.

I think we are basically involved in this negative acts due to ignorance, the Nigerian youths are basically into the dark acts due to the fact that we are unfamiliar with a different and positive method of making things happen.

We have majority of the youths in churches and mosques, we've done the things we were told to do by the so-called Religious Leaders, nothing seems to change, instead we were told to cling on hope while we donate the peanuts gathered through hardwork to the so-called Religious Leaders. The so-called Leaders are fending off our donations after using the Fear factor to pierce through our Psychology.

One thing I believe is that Change is Inevitable, once the people find a new Lightful way, they'll be ready to ply it.

Majority People have been calling for Revolution, I asked a few what kinda Revolution they are asking for, majority were emphasizing on Political Revolution. I think different though, our Political challenges is just a product of our poor foundation as a people. If we truly want to behold true Revolution in Nigeria and Africa, it must be Fundamental.

We have a great job standing before us to work.

May Heaven help Us. Amen.

Shalom.

Abiola's source was never questionable. He was a business tycoon with chains of businesses.

He set up Abiola Farms, Abiola Bookshops, Radio Communications Nigeria, Wonder Bakeries, Concord Press, Concord Airlines, Summit Oil International Ltd, Africa Ocean Lines, Habib Bank, Decca W.A. Ltd, and Abiola football club.

He was also Chairman of the G15 business council, President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Patron of the Kwame Nkrumah Foundation, Patron of the WEB Du Bois foundation, trustee of the Martin Luther King Foundation, and director of the International Press Institute.

In 83, he teamed up with Shehu Musa Yar'Adua, Bamanga Tukur and Raymond Dokpesi to establish Africa Ocean Lines.

Not forgetting ITT... He was the model politician for me.

He was a great soul. Honoured with over 500 chieftaincy tittles across Nigeria with a large number from the North. Was later crowned Are Ona kakanfo. Almost all musicians sang about him ranging from King sunny Ade( the song, Mko Abiola Apata nla nie ti enikan kole ridi re) still remains evergreen in my memory. Ebenezer Obey, kwam1, Sir shina Peters all sang to his glory. He was the talk of the town and a household name.

Hope '93 remains the best campaign slogan till date until emergence of 'o to ge' which was 20% less popular.

He is the only African then and now that has a golden key to enter white house. Presidents of the Nation's including Clinton were his personal friends (he banked on them to have declared himself the president in 94)

His success till date is unmatchable. When he died, Ghana lowered their flags for 1 week but Nigeria for 3 days.

He personally rejected a job offered him from Scotland to come and head in Nig just because if it was a white man that was to head it, the offer would come with an apartment and a car but he was given only a car. The man is a rare gem. He's the founder of orchestra of today. A band he created in secondary school from the proceed from his firewood sales and the band became so successful that he bought a truck from it to transport his band members and instruments for occasions.

A great chartered accountant.

What is great about MKO?

That he used ITT is siphon billions or that he scammed IBB and Samuel Doe or because he sponsored the coup against Shagari and also sponsored the one against Buhari or that he used concord newspaper to vilify and rubbish awolowo political career?

Those who knew him very well knew why they vowed never to let him smell Aso Rock.

All the same he was a good politician but no ion of greatness.
is there really any man without faults or shades?? all the Hero's of d past mention them one ll have one or two things to say...bottom line is abiola was a great man...d issue would Nigeria have been different if 1993 was allowed to run full circle and mature....??
