There was still some sanity as at the time. We did not have terrorists in the country of religious inclination.

Many may want Tinubu as at this time but there is no need to look too far back. We thought we had Buhari and Osinbajo but it turned out to be Buhari and a cabal. We all watched how all PYO did while Buhari was ill get overturned; his appointees sacked etc.
There is no need to appeal to any Christian who supports the M/M ticket. They would behold their reward when it does happen.

Is that not Pastor Remi Tinubu on Moslem regalia? I thought she is pastor with RCCG. Oh the hypocrisy of RCCG, Pastor Adeboye and the and the Sothwest. Only God will judge all of us. My question is how did Pastor Adeboye ordain her a pastor and still retain her among her pastorate?

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is running to be the next President of all Nigerians. While Obi is aspiring to be the president of a disgruntled and rebellious ibo people, thank goodness, some ibos, like Nnamani and Chime have common senses, we would have seen all ibos as ipob rebels.

Urchin, go down memory lane well and quit giving half truths and lies.

Baba Awolowo never wanted to run a christian- christian ticket. The northerners refused to run with him and he had no choice than to pick a fellow southern vice. That was why he lost.

How the North denied Awolowo a running mate, by Chief Babatope

Chief Babatope makes a very startling disclosure about why the Yoruba leader, Papa Obafemi Awolowo, chose a fellow southerner as his running- mate in a country divided usually along North and South lines. Babatope should know.

At the age of 35, he became the Director of Organisation of the Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN.
Babatope asks: “Did you know that Papa Awolowo contacted some of his trusted friends in the North, requesting that one of them should come and be his running-mate but they turned him down? They rejected, especially those from the Hausa-Fulani clan.

One of them who was Papa’s good friend, Papa Yahaya Gusau, he told Awolowo that it would be meaningless for him to come and be a running-mate because people are not going to vote for us. Papa also contacted the late Ibrahim Tahir and Tahir said it was going to be difficult for him to team up with Papa. Papa then moved to the Middle-Belt states.

Why is it that nobody talks about his biological mother despite the fact that she was alive then? It's like those guys that follow Ekwunife up and down, they also call her mum... Na political motherhood.

In 1979, a woman of that age would have had late 40s and 50+ year old sons and daughters.

So it is safe to assume that BAT was around 45yrs old in 1979.

There is no way BAT is just 70 now

Remember:
Nigeria of 1979 is not Nigeria of today. If you doubt me ask those whom boko haram have rendered orphans, widows, widowers and homeless . You can also ask the indigenous people of Nigeria whose ancestral homes have been snatched at gun point by bandits and fulani herdsmen. Again, It is important you ask those who have been kidnapped by bandits and whose families and friends had to pay huge sums of money as ransom to regain their freedom.

Anyone seeing Nigeria of 1979 as Nigeria of 2022 needs a History lesson on Nigeria as a country.

Nigeria must be great in our lifetime. Vote ObiDatti..

The moral , some children from this generation deserves to suffer. Some people are senseless. Some already sold their birth rights, some tribalism already eating them up. My opinion if Nigerians fail to correct the mistakes in 2023. 8 fucckinnng years people still campaign for this same people. I'm sure Nigerians are no more suffering everyone seems to be OK now because of stupid tribalism that already messed up the country.

Remember:

We also remember how Thiefnuibu used his newspaper to abuse and curse Awolowo plus his family.
She bi Omoluabi she n wuwa niyen?
No wonder the useless Jagbajantis asiwaju agberos like MC Oluomo got his nephew in Osogbo to hire Portable for defacing Awo's statue there in his failed reelection bid.
Is it not obvious to thinkers that the Yoruba gods have deserted him

Babasessy:

The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.

It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.

So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history.  Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.

He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.

In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.

In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.

Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.

Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.

The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off.  But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.

I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
