Dedetwo:


Awolowo never even said Gowon released him from Calabar prison because he knew Gowon's authority did not go beyond Ore. Ojukwu was the Military Governor of eastern region of Nigeria which Calabar was an integral part. In addition, Ojukwu did not recognize Gowon as anything. Now back the subject matter, Azikwe was the President of Nigeria and Mbazulike Amaechi was a minister of state. They did not need any favor from a fugitive such as Nelson Mandela but a show of support against the government of Republic of South Africa.

gregyboy:



Lol, i saw the list its waste of time bro, every sensible petson know ondo is not a match for edo

gregyboy:



No i love them, i just dont like their cowardice and deceitfull nature, but they are good to we binis, i respect yorubas alot

That guy is just lieing on my head, to spread false hate

LukasPodolski:

still doesn't add up, I can, in nearest future say "President Macron" branched my house when he visited Nigeria.. hahah.

more like saying "Ojukwu's interview where he said he released Awolowo" is more valid than.

the Pictorial and Visual evidence of Gowon releasing Awolowo + Calabar prison guard boss attesting to the fact that he released Awolowo on the order of Gowon.

Gabriel004:
Answer, who are Benin in the he scheme of things.

Onlinesmart:
Junior? Yorùbá alone control 6 states plus 12 LGs in Kwara and 7 from Kogi. Benin is only confined to Edo state and its just a chunk of the state. When you wanna brag next time, check the time of the day cos thunders do strike even when sun shines. I don't know when potors become spokesperson to benin.

Nigga did you skip my writeup up saying it is an overhyped school and yet you still brought the rubbish to me

If nigeria tell the listers unibadan is the best university in nigeria they put it there in thier list, and if they can bribe them anything can go
I see no reason unibadan ahould be in that list at all, no nigeria should be in the list even the university of benin not to say unibadan that thry teach with yoruba
