MKO Abiola was a coup financier..

He benefited immensely financially under military rule, he received contracts running into hundreds of millions of dollars and thought his closeness to the khaki boys would eventually pave a path for him becoming president of Nigeria one day, which was a total miscalculation on his part.

Abiola enjoyed long term patronage from the past military regimes in Nigeria. He was very close friends with IBB and was part of the establishment which ended up consuming him.

Alone time is the best time to think clearly.

It's going to be near impossible for Nigeria and Africa at large to fully maximize its potential with the level brain the continent faces..

The best and brightest mind's are steady being poached by the west, due to the African government's lackadaisical attitude towards cultivating an environment that nurtures & rewards excellence.

They would rather reward mediocrity at all levels.. Look at Nigeria

From what I have read, the coup was doomed from the start.

Dimka didn't involve the usual coup plotters in the Nigerian army/ military in his plan to overthrow Murtala.

Dimka's plan was to restore Gowon back to power because they were both kinsmen.

Some bad blood had developed when Murtala overthrew Gowon and Dimka felt he was doing the right thing by overthrowing Murtala.

Dimka was also a heavy drinker which caused a lax in his judgements. When Banangida stomred the radio station where the overthrow announcement was made to arrest/ flush out the coup ploters, it was said that Banangida allowed Dimka to escape because they were buddies and had some history together.

S10 lite na machine but when people hear lite they will think is a midrange, that was my dream gadgets but due to screen size, i want something portable so i went for the new Google Pixel 4a

Indeed.. Pixel 4a is also a great phone, I might switch to it due to the form factor being portable. Used the Pixel 3XL before and the camera was by far the best smartphone camera I've used, especially low light shots.

While I don't support the withholding of allocations from the various states by the FG. What have all the silly/ incompetent governors done with the funds that's have been allocated to them so far besides squandering & looting the rest? Bunch of imbeciles calling themselves elected officials

FAKE!! I have a S4 and this is a bad knock-off of the S4

For all the NL attempting to defend TY or make him into what his not & will never be, you either do not know Nigerian history & his role in all the coups that took place years past or you are extremely deluded!! Either way lets call a spade a spade, it is what it is! The definition of patriotism is Mandela and I doubt TY can ever put his personal ambition or greed before the unity of Nigeria just like all the so called past/ present leaders..... In a functioning society TY and his likes would have been locked and serving time for all the atrocities they have committed against their fellow country men, but then again this is Naija where anything goes as long as you have money & can buy influence... I sorry for Naija wahali

TY Danjuma should please spare us with the garbage! What tangible positive contribution has he made to Nigeria?! Oh, let me guess his foundation?! Thant in my opinion is him just attempting to launder his image, so his foundation gives away a couple of million crumbs from his massive Billions of $$$ stolen from Nigeria via dubious oil block concessions. The issue with us Nigerians is that we are too gullible & quick to people worship & sing there praise when they throw money around. Wasn't it TY Danjuma & Gowon singing one North back in the day when they & their fellow malams were busy slaughtering non-indigenes in the North leading to the civil war? Patriotic my arse, let him and all his cohorts go hide their faces in shame while the seed(Boko)of discord they sowed continue to ravage their home regions. Like the saying goes, charity begins at home TY!!

[quote author=Negro_Ntns]please enumerate his contributions to Africa beginning with Nigeria.

Achebe was an ingrate! Twice conferred with national awards and he turned it down each time citing corruption. You should share with us how, sitting in US, he contributed at home to remove the very ill he vehemently opposed. The truth is Achebe remained bitter to his death and he never brought himself around to accept and reconcile the biafran defeat in his own spirit. By accepting a Nigerian honorary award would be an acceptance that his biafran identity is defeated and lost forever. He ended up personifying the Okonkwo of Things Fall Apart.[/quote]It's called "INTEGRITY" look up that word in the dictionary & you will understand why Chinua Achebe never accepted the worthless award from the Nigerian government. The same award given to Nigerians of questionable character? Come on folks.........

Sure he's not corrupt, so is IBB, Abacha, OBJ, Bode George, Farouk etc... I dey laugh

I've killed a lot of wild mosquitoes in my time if that counts too.

Nigerian Press? Bunch of clowns
