Abiola MKO was lousy and loud with his money so thats why we were so myopic growing up thinking he was the richest Yoruba Man,

In the 70's during the civil war when Murtala Mohammed broke into a Bank and had cash removed from the vaults, it was Arisekola they could trust with the money, not MKO,

Arisekola introduced MKO to Murtala Mohammed back then, that is when MKO started to make money, as am ITT VP he was only on Salary that's all. Abiola started to make money through his friendship with Murtala Mohammed. Whem MKO sponsors 1 person to Uni we all hear but we don't know, when Arisekola sponsors Thousands to UNI, he has bn doing it for years

I know both Families from point A to B , lets leave it at that,

while i am not arisekola's fan, I knew him well enough at cooperative bank through daily meeting at deposit time [when his business was at its infancy]. i found the lister motor's chairman to be very gentle, shy and friendly, if not truly respective [a thin/skinny if you will slender man], with over sized gold necklace on his neck, he at least stuck it out, believing in his Creator, worshiping him devotedly. it was the gold necklace i didn't like then and thank God Almighty that he stopped wearing it.

You don't have to believe me

Sweetnecta:

a believer is a person who believes. being a muslim, when he does evil he seeks repentance and then does good on top of it, hoping in forgiveness and mercy from God. May Allah forgives him and all muslims and guides into islam those people who sincerely long for Him.

Sagamite:

So he can steal millions, ask for forgiveness from God and give thousands in charity and then he is forgiven?

Ludicrous!

No wonder I don't believe in any of the religions. What a joke!

deols:

d'u mean dat u wldnt forgive your children(if or wen u av dem), wife, family members or friends wen dey offend u, ask for forgiveness nd do something good in atoning 4 deir wrong

Sagamite:

I would forgive them if they did not know what they were doing was wrong.

Failing that, I would forgive them if they did an intentional wrong ONCE, not multiple times and then repeatedly asking for forgiveness.

Them failing in not doing what they know was wrong and evil, I will forgive them if they did their best to atone by returning ALL the residual benefits from the intentional wrong-doings that they can realistically identify, quantify and give back altruistically without any reservations.

Not giving peanuts and enjoying the majority of the benefits of their evil acts repeatedly, doing it again and then coming back for forgiveness. That is rubbish!

deols:

That is how it works  in Islam too. One of the conditions that guarantee you forgiveness is that you do not go back to commit those sins after asking. God is however merciful. But, the fact that you aren't sure if You'd benefit from that mercy will keep you away from the sin after asking for forgiveness.

@hardbody; « #87 on: February 25, 2011, 04:18 PM »the dark mark is called sajdah or sujjud mark. It is a privilege and not every muslim gets it. muslims do not bang the hard concrete when they pray. considering that he has plenty of naira, he can at least afford a good persian or turkish rug, instead of the man with not so much naira. yet he has this sajdah mark while the poor man does not. he doesnt have your personal ego that prevents your non-wowo guy from prostrating your face.

Another beer parlour crap talk.

Arisekola was a very successful merchant dealing in wholesale of Gamalin 20 as at 1967-69. By 1972 he had more than 50 cars on hire purchase for taxi drivers in Ibadan.

Get your facts right
