[quote author=tpia@]the thread should actually be to display each nigerian state's logo.[/quote]Winsh, are you the OP?

For those of us who risked our lives, facing Abacha's wrath because we were firmly convicted in the promise of MKO, what ACN is doing is sacrilege frome the pits of hell.
It is something that causes a heart wrenching pain and deep disgust. Today, the man has been sacrificed, please let his name remain at a lofty height.

Tinubu, before making money from pushing drugs.
How can such a man insult Awo and MKO?

As soon as I joined NL, I began berating Ibori as a thief.
What is so wrong with your conscience that you come here to lie for a drug baron like Tinubu? Will you sell your soul to Lucifer if given the chance?
Don't you have any shame?

Pathetic.

PeterKbaba: Beleive me, Yorubas are too civilized and educated for all this... We did not ask you to be our mouth peace... If anybody in Nigeria insults any person u listen above, you would have seen everyone on the street.... Oduduwa does not even need to talk, they know yorubas are educated enough to act... exactly what is going on in Unilag...

Look at this clown! I'm talking about ACN, but you think you can employ ethnic blackmail. Shame on you and the NURTW tactics of your bigoted Nazi-like party.

Why does ACN demigrate the likes of Gani, MKO and Awo?

PeterKbaba: BEAF WHY IS ALL YOUR EFFORT TOWARD DESTABILIZING SOUTH WEST.. WE ARE TOO CIVILIZED TO BE SAVAGED BY LIES...

Stop talking crap. Are Tinubu (a drug baron, thief and certificate forger) and ACN, a nest of thugs afflicted with verbal diarrhea representatitive of the civilised SW? They are not.
The only thing you've got is Fashola and he faces impeachment anytime he coughs.

Today is know Tinubu day!

No man can insult Awo, MKO, Gani etc and get away scott free.

Can any ACN fella's tell us what their area boy wing was "demonstrating?"

Dude, you are too old to keep talking crap this way.
Emotions are for kids, if you have no logic or counter to offer, then silence should be golden.

Since what I have said is true, hide your head in shame.

Lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
Somebody please them to answer the simple questions I'm asking! Surely, they are simple and straightforward (even to followers of a drug baron)?

[size=14pt]Tinubu ordered area boys to pelt the advocate of the common man, the late Gani Fawehinmi with sachets of pure water, because he dared to challenge his fraudulent "Toronto" degrees in court.
Area boys attacking Gani on Tinubu's orders? Same area boys ransacking Lagos, "demonstrating" against MKO's legacy.

Shame on all ACN scum, NURTW types led by a drug baron. What descent thing can be expected from agbero's?
This is Eko Ile, another ACN weed insulting the great institution that Awo was:

Eko Ile: Yesterday's Tribune's attack and hatchet job

The Tribune is full of ignorant writers. [size=14pt]Who voted, elected, appoint or made Awo Yoruba leader?[/size]

The ashes part clearly highlights the writers cluelessness and warped interpretation of current events and history.

The fact remains that Tinubu was given one single state and in less than 4 years, he not only he turned it into 6 states, he took all nearly all the legislative seats in the SW.

What does Tinubu think he will benefit by insulting reverred names like Awo and MKO? Sponsoring insulting articles and fake demonstrations.
Even Bakare called Tinubu a basta'rd for insulting Awo:

[size=14pt]Meanwhile, controversial man of God, Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly, recently in one of his Sunday sermons said that a bastard will never be Yoruba leader. Though he didn’t mention Tinubu’s name specifically, everybody including the deaf and dumb got the message about the person he is referring to.

Bakare in his sermon said, “Look at the madness going on in Y bastard [/b]there is yet to grow up.

“[b]If you are a bastard, there is nothing you can do to cover up with money. Where is your father’s compound? A bastard pretending to be a patriot. We are proud of our heritage because we have goodly heritage. There are those who call themselves nobles who are under the influence of Jezebel. Until they drink kainkain (local gin), they cannot function. They pretend to be larger than life,” he added.[/size]

http://www.globalnewsnig.com/?p=51

An uncouth bunch of rascals; the deeply insulting article below is from Tinubu's paper.
They not only insulted Awo's wife the matriarch Mrs HID Awolowo, but they also went the evil route of mocking his son who died in an accident. For what?
Today, that senseless hatred has been turned on MKO who was sacrificed for this nations democracy and freedom. Why?!

[size=14pt]Awo family without an Awo[/size]
By Sam Omatseye 06/06/2011 06:30:00

The late Awolowo The late Awolowo

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.

[size=14pt]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.
[/size]
Groucho Max, one of the funniest satirists in American history, said of a man that he got his looks from his father. Then he quipped, “He was a plastic surgeon.” That means the son is not his real son, or he did not inherit his natural looks. Ideologically, when we talk of Awo’s family, the chief inheritor is Asiwaju Bola Tinubu as the leader of all the others. He was the one who stuck his neck out. He could have lost his life or ended his career in politics. The so-called real Awolowos who bear his surname cannot come up for mention. They are Awolowos but not Awoists. They stabbed their father in the back. They have committed ideological parricide.

The only person that made a real try was Awolowo-Dosunmu in the early 1990s and she lost roundly. She was accused of trying to ride her father’s coattail. Political families are good for democracies. They can exemplify the high ideals of diligence, dignity, ideas, character. We have seen these in such families as the Kennedys, the Adamses, the Roosevelts, the Ghandis. They just don’t claim family. They appeal to the high ideals that endeared the families to their societies.

It’s also an irony that these families are falling into twilight. Some of them have vanished. Enoch Powell, a British MP, once gave us the famous line: “All political lives, unless they are cut off midstream at a happy juncture, end in failure because that is the nature of politics and human affairs.”

Columnist Ambassador Dapo Fafowora adverted to this idea in a recent outing, and I debated it with him afterwards. I don’t believe that a political life should be judged by how it ends but what it means. The quote is often missed by many who mistake “careers” for “lives.” A political life should be judged by its legacies. If we judged Awo by how he ended, we would look at him only as the loser to Shagari. That is why I see an intrinsic mischief in Enoch’s quote. But I would agree that political families end also in failure if you judge how they peter out and not the legacy.

Awo’s legacy is alive and well. Members of other families in flesh and blood can carry on. Immediate families tend to suffer from what an author, Noemie Emery, describes as dynastic curse. The children tend to be intimidated by the standards set by the fathers. So they just don’t want to try. They feel they cannot match them or come even close. The problem probably comes from the fathers themselves. The Adams, who produced important presidents, later gave birth to moral vagrants and drunks. The Bush daughters showed themselves as party girls when their father was contesting the political battle of his life.

But Joe Kennedy groomed his sons assiduously, and they excelled in politics. They also had a fair share of tragedies. Ted Kennedy regained his sobriety and voice in America after a season of debauchery. In Nigeria, we are seeing the Sarakis fade. A Saraki – Bukola - is wiping out the Sarakis from politics. It is a classic case of oedipal tragedy, something I predicted earlier this year on this page.

It is not late though for the flesh-and-blood Awolowos to join their father’s fold. But they must be genuine. Awo was the most important Yoruba personage in history after Oduduwa. They had stellar men like Oranmiyan, Balogun Latosa, Lisabi, Sodeke, et al. None of them had the unifying vision and organisational acumen that Awolowo gave the race. The wife, children and grandchildren should not watch others glow in his jewel without them.

http://www.thenationonlineng.net/2011/index.php/columnist/monday/sam-omatseye/8489-awo-family-without-an-awo.html

ACN people di trut don hook una for throat? See how they've changed to their expected NURTW style!
Why do you people spit on Awo's legacy to the exyent that his wife has laid a curse?

Now the hatred is being extended to MKO.

What does Tinubu think he will benefit by insulting reverred names like Awo and MKO? Sponsoring insulting articles and fake demonstrations.
Even Bakare called Tinubu a basta'rd for insulting Awo:

[size=14pt]Meanwhile, controversial man of God, Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly, recently in one of his Sunday sermons said that a bastard will never be Yoruba leader.

[size=14pt]Battle For Yoruba Leadership – HID Awolowo Curses Tinubu[/size]

https://www.globalnewsnig.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/awolowo12-210x300.jpg

The brouhaha generated by the offensive article on the Awolowo family, written by Sam Omatseye, chairman, Editorial Board of The Nation newspaper, is yet to die down. Not surprisingly, the Awolowo believe the article was prompted by Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), in furtherance of his ambition to become the leader of the Yoruba, which has been vacant since the death of Pa Abraham Adesanya. Since the article was published, many people, especially in the filial Awo clan, have come out to condemn the writer, believing he was working on the agenda set by Tinubu to actualise his dream.

Perhaps what annoyed the Awolowo family is the paragraph where the writer stated that: “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.” And they have been quick to give it back to the perceived sponsor and the writer of the offending article.

[size=14pt]In her own reaction, Mama HID Awolowo stated: “At 95, I have lived long enough to expect common civility from younger ones, assuming that they received and imbibed proper home training. Having just lost my daughter less than two months ago, I also expect that normal people would spare me the kind of vitriolic attack that was unleashed on my person and my family; particularly as such an attack was entirely unprovoked.”

The matriarch of the Awolowo family went further to say that the abject insult that was heaped on her person by Omatseye, for daring to rise above partisanship and pursue the common good, has caused her the kind of pain that can only be dealt with by offering it to God, whose wheel of justice may grind slowly but is guaranteed to grind exceedingly fine.

Global News further learnt that the Awolowos felt so bitter that because of political gains and position, someone like Tinubu could go to the extent of mocking the family even with the death of the first son of the family Segun who died in tragic motor accident years back.

The matriarch, according to those who are very close to the family, has placed a curse on Tinubu that no matter how much money in his possession, he would never be comfortable and happy all his life and would not happy at his old age, just as he is making her to be unhappy at her old age.[/size]

Also Oluwole Awolowo, the son of HID, doesn’t spare a word against those who are rubbishing his family and mother. In his own response he stated that: “Eni to maa dagba kii gba opa lowo arugbo,” meaning: anyone who wishes to live to his full age will avoid disparaging the elderly ones. I hope you understand this as an African man.

Meanwhile, controversial man of God, Pastor Tunde Bakare of Latter Rain Assembly, recently in one of his Sunday sermons said that a bastard will never be Yoruba leader. Though he didn’t mention Tinubu’s name specifically, everybody including the deaf and dumb got the message about the person he is referring to.

Bakare in his sermon said, “Look at the madness going on in Y bastard there is yet to grow up.

“If you are a bastard, there is nothing you can do to cover up with money. Where is your father’s compound? A bastard pretending to be a patriot. We are proud of our heritage because we have goodly heritage. There are those who call themselves nobles who are under the influence of Jezebel. Until they drink kainkain (local gin), they cannot function. They pretend to be larger than life,” he added.

He likened the person angling to take over the leadership of the Yoruba to the Biblical Abimelech who forcefully took over a kingdom that did not belong to him and was eventually destroyed. He also declared that: “If you are trusting the sjavascript:void(0);on of a concubine to deliver you, you are in trouble.”

I can only laugh as the ACN hoodlums nickname me Reno Omokri!
Abeg, make una tell us why ACN de insult Awo. Period.

^
The Awolowo Foundation becomes "PDP" when your hateful, gutter ways are exposed. Init?
ACN hates Awo and other genuine leaders, cos they are a bunch of criminals and slimeballs. What sort of party can spit on the name of Awo over and over again?
Any reason why such a group won't spit on MKO too?

Just to remind us that the topic is about ACN denigrating heroes like Awo and MKO:

Having said this, yet another of this obvious boycott of the Awolowo fanfare came up recently in Lagos, which was tagged the 2012 Obafemi Awolowo Memorial lecture. One would have thought all governors within the South-West region and their political affiliates were going to be in strict attendance simply because of their ideological affiliations with the late sage. However, only traditional rulers and politicians obviously from the main opposition party were present.

[color=#990033]It is such an irony that the present crop of politicians who hold sway in the political ladder of the South-West lay claim at all times to be adherents of the late Chief Awolowo, who they believe laid a proper foundation for the region, yet turn their faces in anger when his person and all he stood for is being celebrated by either his family or die hard followers.[/color]

The event which was [color=#990033]organized by The Awolowo Foundation[/color] saw both the Oyo and Ekiti state governors refusing to attend, though later giving reasons as ‘attendance to pressing state matters’ as excuse, while the governors of Lagos, Ogun, Osun and Edo states where conspicuously silent on their inability to grace the occasion. This action by the ruling party, its governors and leaders in the zone goes to show how far the crisis between the Awo legacy and the ACN adherents continues to deepen.

http://www.nigerianpilot.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4749:the-rift-between-awoists-and-acn&catid=46:politics&Itemid=178

Why such hatred and disrespect from ACN? Is it any shock that they can organise against MKO's legacy?

Lolzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!
Any other area boyz?

colomb: I'm not against the state acknowledging and showing a sense of appreciation to a past governor or his deputy's through some reasonable welfare packages but to have made this a Law is quite unfortunate. Why exorbitantly build four mansions for an ex-governor across the country? Isn't this unusual act of generosity a pointer to the psych of the current administration and wastage of public funds?

It is totally wrong for governors to be awarded goodies after they've left. Next, we will have reps getting "pension" goodies too.
What it says in big bold text, is that those fellows went into politics strictly for money. For someone with a name like Amaechi, thats no good.

colomb: Guys you better chill, this one that is new to you guys has been effected in Kwara State many months ago. As I'm speaking, the ex-governor (saraki) mansion currently under construction is second to none in the entire state courtesy of a similar Bill. This gesture is being replicated in Lagos and Abuja for him. He is to also have fleet of cars and other welfare packages for life all from the state government's coffer. The mofos in the state assembly hurriedly passed this bill but then again, who owns the dishonourable honourables The PDP tree is planted in different soil but bears the same fruits.

It has nothing to do with PDP; Tinubu has received bullet proof jeeps, land etc from Lagos state, long after leaving; only, they couldn't even bother to cover their arses in legalese.

[size=14pt]Gov.fashola,asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Get N600 Million Bullet Proof Jeeps![/size]

Governor of Lagos State,Babatunde Raji Fashola and his political Godfather,Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu just took delivery of new acquisitions.

Source identified the buy as three bullet proof cars- Jeeps- with bomb detector apparatus and surveillance cameras.

Findings revealed that two of the purchase are with Governor Fashola for official usage as the helmsman of Lagos state. Asiwaju Tinubu is said to have one to his name as party leader.

The brand of the bullet proof cars is identified as Toyota Prado Jeep.

The cost of each jeep- including handling, registration, insurance and other fees- is two hundred million naira. The three jeeps are valued at six hundred million naira.

The cars are customized- by special order.

It is however believed that the Lagos state government footed the bill for the cars.

The three automobiles were reportedly bought for Asiwaju Tinubu and Governor Fashola on grounds of 'security'

Insiders revealed that the two political figures have not gone public with their jeeps.

http://news.gkrom.com/articles/govfasholaasiwaju-bola-ahmed-tinubu-get-n600-million-bullet-proof-jeeps

I think GEJ and governors should provide grassroots employment to ease hunger across the country.
If people build roads or sidewalks with their hands or free farms are provided etc, it would go a very long way.
