@babacele, thanks for the apt explanation.
I saw this picture and was like funny how times change and loyalties shift

IBB knew what he was doing by paving way for Abacha. Don't forget Abacha wouldn't have been so emboldened if IBB had done the right thing. IBB worked tirelessly to make sure Abacha finished what he had started by frustrating the June 12 mandate. But posterity is now using the same Abacha energy which revived a dying Muhammadu Buhari earlier destabilized by the same IBB to right the wrongs of the annulment. It is funny how MKO some years before the picture had saved the life of Abacha . Legend has it that Sani Abacha had been referred overseas to treat a life threatening ailment but no money until the news got to MKO who large heartedly paid for the trip sparing the life of a would be future tormentor. ...hmmm life, person no dey know finish.

I thought it was IBB that tormented MKO tho

Yes and No. Yes because he started the psychological torment by annulling the election in the first place and tactically paved way for the bull into the Nigerian China shop in the person of Abacha after deliberatly compromising the elite class including kings except a few like the then Oba of Benin and the Awujale of Ijebu whom MKO himself publicly eulogized for disagreeing to join IBB in his ignoble venture. Abacha later took over and put Abiola in jail for declaring himself President. So many lost their lives ,health ,freedom and resources while engaging Abacha. But Abacha kept MKO alive until Abacha died in 1997 for IBB cousin or whatever Abdusalami to take over and finished the last phase of IBB's mess - the annihilation of MKO with the intention of killing June 12 and its spirit - a culture which subsequent PDP government has tried to sustain until the PMB declaration few days ago which has woken the spirit nationally no matter how belated. Caught in between IBB and Abacha - under whom he found his voice as PTF chairman after several years of being incarcerated literarily and physically by the same anti June 12 forces in the person of Ibrahim badamosi Babangida who never forgave Mamman Vatsa,ironically his best man, for casting the decisive vote for PMB to emerge as the C in C after the coup that oust Shagari- is Muhammadu Buhari.
Soyinka and other human rights activists including Bola Tinubu had narrowly escaped overseas from Abacha's onslaught to launch the long fight for the reclamation of the June 12 mandate.
It is a difficult situation for a Muhammadu Buhari who might have voted for MKO for I can tell you he wouldn't have voted for IBB in the person of Bashir Tofa. It is pertinent to point out here that Soyinka must not throw away the baby with the bathwater of Buhari's indiscretion of praising Sani Abacha publicly. Soyinka was once in this difficult position PMB presently found himself - a position of being in between two evils and where you just have to choose one: the lesser one.

While celebrating his Nobel laureate in 1985, Dele Giwa was 'silenced 'by drug barons in power who had overthrown Buhari and Idiagbon who were planning to deal with the drugs lords in the then military who later annulled June 12 several years later. Dele Giwa's death was so painful that it left ' ashes in our mouths' according to Kongi himself who later served under IBB to birth a beautiful baby now a lovely Lady - The FRSC. Who would have thought that a Soyinka- Fela's cousin would have served under IBB after the Dele Giwa experience? But Soyinka chose to serve Nigerians rather than the emperor from Minna- at least we believe him. And I m giving PMB that benefit tonight.

Lol! At last you found something to post, you had to wait for this to be released yesterday to prove that you know something but before now you had no idea. you just wanted to support PMB. Thanks all the same but I read it yesterday afternoon already. That guy you were quoting was lying about Morrocco reviving our plant.

I was busy. I am quite aware of Morocco's historical, geographical and socioeconomic status that can attract a bilateral hug from a darling like Nigeria which Clueless tactlessly bungled while he was in office . Of course I am also aware of Morroco hitching quest to join the AU. I had thrown you a bait earlier yesterday which you had refused to bait before I became busy. So when I saw that piece of info last night , I thought it nice to help upgrade a sister. don't you think?

Before 1993, Babangida has already paved way for Abacha.

you are absolutely right sir. He knew Abacha had no patience when he has his eyes on power and would muddle up everything which easily divert attention from IBB misgovernance most especially the perfidy he perpetuated in NNPC which an MKO would have brought him to book no matter what.....and even after Abacha's death Major Almustapha protected MKO by planting a decoy ADC Zadok to Abiola but IBB through his cousin Abdusalami refused to free MKO after freeing all political detainees only for MKO to be ' dispatched' in the presence of the international community ( UN koffi Anan, US under Bill Clinton- condoleza Susan Rice ,Thomas Pickering and Madeleine Albright). MKO refused to renounce the mandate until he sees Nigerians who gave him the mandate. Question is why persuade Abiola to renounce the Nigerian mandate by the international conspiracy?

Okorocha is APC in IMO and numero uno political south East. We won't allow any opportunist come from nowhere to reap what Owelle has sown. It won't ever happen. Never. Allow them waste their money first ,then we sweep them away with Oyegun. Okorocha we know.

rubbish.

I am not a Fayose fan. But Ekiti State won't fall into the hands of vagabonds no more.. no to Fayemi

Eleka is Fayose and the two are worse vagabonds in power compared to an urbane,resourceful, and educated Fayemi who raised Ekiti IGR to N150m monthly that Fayose Eleka is presently stealing.

weyreypey:
Funny. TKO is very relevant. Raji irrelevant. Biodun Olujimi very relevant. Adeyeye utter rubbish.

We are voting in eleka. As for Fayose we will still be the one to hand Fayose over to the EFCC. Fayemi is never an option. We will not only hand Fayose over but also monitor to ensure he's locked up for a long time...by supplying all relevant information to assist with the prosecution.

dream on while Fayose sweats profusely on the fear of Fayemi's robust winning and the possibilities of thugnor going to jail by the end of this year or thereabout.

let obj deny it.

What do you even know? Wh

y don't you give your position on the subject matter

The Federal Republic of Nigeria
and the Kingdom of Morocco on
Monday in Rabat, Morocco, signed
3 agreements, which, include a
regional gas pipeline that will see
Nigeria providing gas to countries
in West Africa sub-region that
extend to Morocco and Europe.
The signing of the agreements,
witnessed by President Buhari and
King of Morocco, HM King
Mohammed VI, followed a meeting
between the two leaders that
focused on strengthening
economic relations in gas
resource development, global
investments and agricultural
training and management.
The feasibility study of the
agreement on the pipeline, which
was signed by the Group General
Manager NNPC, Group, Mr Farouq
Said Garba, and Mrs Amina
Benkhadra, Director General of the
National Office of Hydrocarbon
and Mines, will be concluded by
July 2018.
The construction of the pipeline
will be phased and based on
increasing needs of the countries
crossed, and Europe, for the
period of 25 years.
The Nigeria Morocco Gas Pipeline
(NMGP), designed to be 5,660km
long, will reduce gas flaring in
Nigeria and encourage
diversification of energy
resources in the country, while
cutting down poverty through the
creation of more job
opportunities.
The Nigeria Morocco Gas Pipeline
(NMGP) will further encourage
utilisation of gas in the sub-
region for domestic needs
(cooking, etc) and discourage
desertification.
The MD/CEO, NSIA Nigeria, Mr
Uche Orji and the CEO of the
Office of the Management of
Phosphate in Morocco, Mr

This is a real eye opener o babacele. however I am still angry at the way he is handling security.

hmmm , if not a Buhari security would have been worse off. think from Niger Delta to NE is there any improvement ? Yes there is.

SalamRushdie:
No matter what they should never have planned that coup , of Buhari thought he had better to offer Nigerians than Shagari then he should have resigned from the Army , joined a political party and contested against Shagari...that it's how it's supposed to be done man ..Coup plots are very wrong ...I will not even support a coup plot against the current govt no matter how unsatisfied I am with their performance ..The only way to change govt is through free and fair elections..

while I won't agree less, don't make it look like an exclusively Buhari thing... it started before then and Buhari has changed and better than his accusers.

ashjay001:
Madam, I'm tired of this, nincompoopish argument! This admin met 2 of 28 plants working. Made a deal, with Morocco(a major thing, back then, u were probably not interested in politics then) n d plants are being revived! 10+ so far.

Morocco, is d country being traded with, to save our economy, thousands of dollars in fertilizer imports n provide employment for thousands of our citizens. Wth, shouldn't he pay homage? He is supposed to pay homage to Ghana

Can u just do away with sentiments n instead of haranguing a great deal, "u siddon look"!?

Since u find it difficult to accept any degree of accomplishment, from ds admin

tell her please.

mtcheww!

SalamRushdie:
There can be no justification for overthrowing a democratically elected govt....our constitution is clear on ways to change a govt which is either through election or impeachment...there is no where in our constitution that allows a disgruntled indisciplined military officer to terminate any govt as he wishes...please stop all these lies about Nigeria turning into Somalia if Buhari didn't take over because event have shown that a Buhari govt actually always make things 100 times worse than ever...The economic facts are there to prove that Nigeria under Shagari was a 100 times better than Nigeria under the Dullard and today again the same evidence is there to show that Nigeria under Jonathan was a lot better than Nigeria under the Dullard... Buhari has nothing absolutely nothing to offer any country than bigotry and bloodshed

When supposedly elected officials threaten democracy ,patriots won't sit by and watch ask Zimbabweans. What are your statistics ? Won't you research before you go public ? So if truly had performed woefully in his first stint aborted by the same gang of thieves hovering presently around ,why would Nigerians beg for pmb's return after 30 years? How would those that told us to prepare for recession in 2014 at $65/ barrel would have been able to manage at $30/barrel? Buhari is just a Godsent.

SalamRushdie:
As far as I am concerned Buhari is the principal actor and catalyst to events leading to June 12... If he had obeyed the his military vows and the Nigerian constitution and not overthrow and an elected constitutional govt of Shehu Shagari there would have been no June 12 on the first place ... While Buhari is contemplating whether to probe events leading to the annulment of June 12 elections he should also probe the events that led him to illegally overthrow a constitituted democratic govt when our constitution was clear on the legitimate ways a govt could be changed .

the military vow was loyalty to Nigeria which he had demonstrated severally e.g the overcoming of maitasene sects but no sane patriot would sit by and watch while Shagari unleashed deliberate poverty on the nation caused by official brazen and unbridled stealing like the Umaru dikkos while the ordinary citizens are forced to bear the brunt of such recklessness in the name of austerity - an old word for recession. In few months, PMB stabilized the economy until drug barons who weren't happy about the orderliness PMB was bringing took over and plunged us to hell which reached a crescendo in 2014 when another recession visited us hence our plea for Dr Buhari to return to cure us of the recession maladies after 30 years of our first encounter with him. Like every good physician, though with some natural flaws unexpected of mortals ,PMB has been busy tackling the causes of these maladies .
If Buhari had not intervened ,shagari would have destroyed this nation and we would have been worse than Somalia. So we need to thank PMB .

you guys should just leave for we are tired of you lots. Either you leave gently or we push you out so that you can go and use your electoral influence to win elections and let us see. PDP will always be PDP.

I am so sorry, it's true. Died yesterday morning. At least, he did put smile on the faces of some ppl way back den. He needs to be appreciated

hmmm bros, even up till days ago ,Ras kimono still put smile on our faces. Somewhere in Lekki, last time i encountered him ,One American babe rap into one of his songs while he did his Rumba style while audiences sipped fresh palmy in calabash with suya and nkworbi- . We shall appreciate him and his mild activism using music to draw attention to African plights. He created a unique reggae style that is truly different from the rest. May his soul go back to God.

Wao! Fayemi ,what a wonderful way to send a warning to Fayose that his days and antics are numbered! The best revenge and worst nightmare is to have the man you had wanted dead to lead a campaign against you
. Fayose is in deep shiiit.

Wike can only fool stupid people like himself with this kind of Wike cooked stories and criminal propaganda! Wike is really jittery about 2019.

thesicilian:
So the religious inclination of your elected officials is more important than their developmental drive?!

El rufai doesn't give a hoot about any religious inclination. He behaves more like a catholic sef.

the chief killer himself is afraid of his own shadow. cop killer.

tuniski:
It was the military and northern oligarchy that annulled the election IBB was only the face!

No sir, the bulk stopped at his table. He wanted to be a life president until Yardua begged Abiola to save the nation from the Gap toothed monster.

Painful . May your soul go back to God, amen. Your music raised our consciousness about the plight of Africans; your unique reggae style fed our souls with nice organic tunes which are still soothing to our hearts, and which peal forth rhythm we easily swing to. You have lived well Ras Kimono. Adieu.

Good. Kaduna is historical to Oshiobaba. Welcome Mr Chairman sir.

Tell me it is a joke. So I won't watch Raskimono live again ? Please remove this lil sugar from me tea.

joker, PDP by another name.
