BACKSTORY TO THE KILLING

In May 1996, the month before Kudirat Abiola was mercilessly gunned down, she had been briefly detained for a few hours for allegedly possessing publications critical of the Nigerian military government headed by General Sani Abacha. Although her husband and billionaire businessman, Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, was already jailed over charges of treason, Kudirat became the tireless advocate for his freedom and return of his mandate. The beautiful woman soon became one of the most dreaded foes of Abacha.

THE DAY
On a Tuesday, 4th of June, 1996, around 3:05 pm one of the most senseless murders in Nigeria was carried out. A sparkling white Mercedes Benz was cruising along the streets of Lagos. As the car slowed down around 7-Up Depot/Bus Stop in Ikeja, they were attacked by six men who suddenly opened fire on the German machine: Mrs. Abiola, her assistant (who had just been released by the police) and chauffeur were in the car.

Her car.
The assassins approached her car and opened a volley of gunfire. The vehicle came to a halt as the driver was hit. A bullet flying from nowhere lodged itself in Kudirat’s forehead, penetrating her skull and smashing her brain. The trauma must have been too much for the poor woman. She lost consciousness and was rushed in that state to the Eko Hospital for urgent medical attention. All efforts made by the medical team to save her life failed. Kudirat Abiola died, with a gaping bullet wound on her forehead. She was 44. Her driver too did not survive the attack. Both were shot at close range.
-After the assassination of Kudirat Abiola at the age of 44, his government announced a $45,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of her killers. Abacha blamed terrorism and the increasing crime rate in the country for her assassination.
Mrs. Abiola was with her assistant and driver on the streets of Lagos, while in her white Mercedes Benz, they were attacked by six (some say three) men in a vehicle driven by Mohamed Abdulof, who rained bullets on them with a Belgium-made FN P90 submachine gun/compact assault rifle which is quite unconventional.
[img]http://www..com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/THE-BRUTAL-ASSASSINATION-OF-KUDIRAT-ABIOLA-6.jpg[/img]
Her driver was shot and he died while her personal assistant, Michael Adesina, was unhurt. She died from gunshot injuries to the forehead. She was rushed to the Eko Hospital after the attack. Before the killing, Kudirat Abiola had complained of threats to her life and that she was being trailed by unknown men. In May 1996, a month to her killing, she was arrested and detained briefly for possessing publications that were deemed critical of the Abacha junta.
THE WEAPON USED IN KILLING KUDIRAT

The F-90, submachine gun/compact assault rifle used was used in killing Kudirat Abiola.
Made in Belgium and described as a selective fire personal defence weapon, it is compact but highly efficient.
Named for 1990, the year it was made by FN Herstal, the weapon is ideal for vehicle crews, support personnel, special forces and counterterrorist teams. Weighing 2.6 kg and just 50.5 cm long, it is in use by the US Secret Service and its standard variant is not available to civilians. It has an integrated reflector sight system, back-up iron sights, fully ambidextrous control meaning it can be easily used by right or left-handed shooters and can fire 900 rounds per minute to a maximum distance of 1,800m.

Picture shows a disassembled PS90 (The standard P90 disassembles into similar main components), showing the major component groups: 1. trigger group, 2. barrel and optical sight assembly, 3. butt plate, 4. magazine, 5. bolt carrier and recoil assembly, 6. stock body and trigger. The firearm was indeed designed to kill: The P90 was designed to have a length no greater than a man’s shoulder width, to allow it to be easily carried and maneuvered in tight spaces, such as the inside of an armored vehicle. The weapon overall has an extremely compact profile—it is the most compact fixed-stock submachine gun to be made. The P90 requires minimal maintenance, and it can be disassembled quickly and easily. The P90 utilizes the small-caliber, high-velocity 5.7×28mm cartridge. The P90 can be fitted with a sling for greater ease of carry, and since the weapon has a fixed stock (as opposed to having a collapsing or folding stock), it can be quickly deployed when needed. It is in use in 40 countries of the world including Nigeria where it is employed by the State Security Service (SSS) and the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).

The matte black PS90 USG model; the PS90 is a semi-automatic carbine developed for civilian shooters for personal protection and sporting use.

P90 TR (Triple Rail) model, which features a Picatinny rail system for mounting accessories, equipped with an Aimpoint red dot sight.

The P90’s unique magazine has a capacity of 50 rounds, and it fits flush with the weapon’s frame.

BUILDUP TO THE ASSASSINATION AND AFTERMATH
Sergeant Rogers (Barnabas Jabila) later confessed that the ‘contract’ to snuff life out of Kudirat was given by the Chief Security Officer to General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza al-Mustapha, to Rabo Lawal, who was in charge of the mobile police (MOPOL) force at the presidential villa. Rogers also said the killer team was then provided with Uzi rifles complete with silencer and cash for the operation, all in the presence of Mohammed Abacha, son of the head of state. He claimed to have had direct involvement in the assassination with Lawal. Rogers said he was sent to kill three times but succeeded only with Kudirat Abiola failing with NADECO chieftain Abraham Adesanya and Alex Ibru.

In order to penetrate the security network of the Abiolas, the killer squad went via Alhaji Lateef Shofolahan, Alhaja Kudirat’s personal assistant. There were two attempts to assassinate Kudirat, the first attempt was planned to take place right inside the residence of MKO Abiola but when the assailants discovered that would be too dangerous, they abandoned the plan only for them to continue their surveillance of their primary target, Alhaja Kudirat Abiola.
After the gunmen successfully got their target killed, each member of the killer team was reportedly given the sum of N50,000 ($250) by Major Al-Mustapha for a job well done. The announcement of Kudirat’s killing was made by Mudashiru, a brother to MKO Abiola, he said the very afternoon she was shot:
THE RESPONSE OF THE NIGERIAN MILITARY GOVERNMENT

Following the killing of Alhaja Kudirat, the Nigerian junta headed by General Sani Abacha. His government offered the sum of $45,000 as reward for information leading to the arrest of those who killed Kudirat. Abacha’s government placed the blame of Kudirat’s killing on the increasing spiral of violence and terrorism in the country. Before the assassination, Mrs. Kudirat had been complaining that there were threats to her life, that unknown men were trailing her. The military government would later send a ‘high-powered’ delegation to the Abiola family to commiserate with them over the brutal assassination of their matriarch.
In the videos below, Kudirat, the wife of the late MKO Abiola is shown watching General Abacha on the television:

-Meanwhile in May 2001, a Federal High Court in Abuja declared that Mohammed had no case to answer in the Kudirat Abiola charges and was roped in simply on circumstantial evidence. He was released and went to Kano where he was treated to a hero’s welcome by hordes of Abacha’s supporters. He would later refuse to sign the proposed settlement agreement with the FGN announced by the Swiss authorities in April 2001. At about the same time, he was paid a visit by General Muhammadu Buhari who announced he was going to run against Obasanjo come 2003. Assuming Buhari won, it is safe to assume that the Abacha family would have had a better deal but Buhari lost to Baba Iyabo.

MKO Abiola & Wife, Kudirat Abiola:::Both died under very questionable circumstances. A nation without justice should not dream of greatness.
REACTIONS

South Africa was vociferous in its condemnation of the killing of Alhaja Kudirat Abiola. The South African government called the assassination of the woman a horrifying event. The SA Foreign Minister Alfred Nzo while calling for the release of Abiola said: “It is all the more regrettable that this tragedy occurred while her husband remains detained.”
The spokesman for the British Foreign Office called the shooting ‘tragic news’.
Nigerian activists represented by Shina Loremikan, spokesperson of the Campaign for Democracy pressure group: “The Civil Liberties Organization calls for a judicial panel of enquiry for a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to the brutal murder and prosecution of the culprits. This is a very bad omen for the nation. We need an immediate return to democracy because the military regime with all its might still cannot guarantee the safety of life.”

ANALYSIS
Femi Ojo-Ade analyzed the murder as follows:
Before her sudden, and speedy elimination, Kudirat had become one more victim of harassment in the hands of those holding the poor country in bondage. Everyone with a brain knew exactly why: Unlike many others echoing their master’s voice by calling for compromise, dialogue, and connivance as the best way forward, the woman kept insisting on her husband’s right to justice.
In Nigeria, if you insist on your right, you are adjudged to be confrontational. Since the military and their brothers and sisters from the North have been chosen by the Almighty to rule the country forever, it makes sense that, if you are oppressed, battered, butchered, or whatever, it is your duty to beg the oppressors who are simply acting out their God-given right. You must not resist, because Allah has decided the condition to which you must resign yourself. Maybe that is why Kudirat’s submissive family did not deem it necessary to cry out on her behalf while she was still alive.
Maybe another reason would be more pertinent. They were convinced she was being confrontational or, worse still, over-ambitious, obsessed with first ladyship (as Abiola’s most senior wife) and the power deriving from the position. Now, as far as the first ladyship is concerned, let us agree that, in the Nigerian context, particularly in the performance of those two namesakes who followed each other in proving their care for the Nigerian Woman and Family by piling up billions, there is reason to fear, or envy, Kudirat’s potential. Which does not mean that she was into anything unheard of, or beyond her right. For, whether the Abiolas or all of us like it or not, she was the man’s senior wife and, therefore, in charge of the household, and his affairs, while he remained in jail. Kudirat proved her mettle during the 1993 election campaign. Her husband never has any reason to doubt her competence. The very fact that, throughout his ongoing travails, she was the ONLY member of his family with enough courage to speak out, and to refuse to veer from the path of justice and fair play, shows that Kudirat was a superior human being.
Before she was killed, Kudirat was embroiled in a quarrel with Abiola’s first son, Kola, over the choice of attorneys. The case was, and still is, in court. The two lawyers are, G. K. O. Ajayi, and F. R. A. Williams, both of them well-respected in the profession. Kudirat stuck with Ajayi, the one handling the case from the beginning, while Kola preferred Williams who, according to him, and Falomo, Abiola’s personal doctor, has been chosen as replacement by Abiola himself. This last piece of information or, let us say, clarification of near- (now, total, with Kudirat’s passing) unanimity, is contained in a full-page advertorial by the family, published in several newspapers on June 16, 1996. The signatories are, Alhaji Mubashiru Abiola, the detainee’s junior brother, and Alhaji Adio Kassim, a close family friend. It is useful to make a comprehensive analysis of the published statement.
Firstly, the family members express their gratitude to the federal military government, ‘for sending a high-powered delegation to express heart-felt sympathies over the death of Alhaja Kudirat Abiola.’
INVESTIGATIONS
Although Kudirat was assassinated in 1996, it would not be until the presidency of Olusegun Obasanjo that investigations would be properly launched into the affair. However, all the senior police and military chiefs implicated in the assassination denied having anything to do with it. Al-Mustapha said not once did he order Rogers to kill anybody and the former army chief, Lt. General Ishaya Bamaiyi washed his hands of any ‘illegal operations’.
On his own, Mohammed Abacha said he only saw Al-Mustapha giving some weapons to Sergeant Rogers for an operation but that he was not aware of the operation and did not take part in the killing of anybody. Rogers maintained he was saying the truth and that he even got the weapons (to kill Alex Ibru) from General Bamaiyi, who was the Lagos Garrison Commander and even got cover from the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, who ordered the diversion of a police patrol team away from the premises of Guardian newspapers.
In November 2007, Mr. Mohammed Abdul, a driver to the defunct Presidential Strike Force aka Abacha Killer Squad narrated in court what happened that fateful day:
“Alhaji Mohammed called me and told me to go to Dodan Barracks in Lagos and work with the squad to carry out the said assignments.
“I went to Dodan Barracks and met Lawal, a Chief Superintendent of police and Rogers.
”I drove them to the places where we carried out the three operations. We carried out surveillance before each of the operations.
“We were aided in this task by the Personal Assistant to the late Mrs. Abiola, Alhaji Lati, who gave us the information and pointed many places to us.
”The places we visited during our preparation for the attack were Victoria Island, Igbosere, Dolphin Estate, Ikeja and Dodan Barracks, which we normally returned to after every operation.
”I am an experienced driver who knows Lagos very well. Five of us were in the team that carried out the operations.
“The five are myself, Lawal, Rogers, Aminu Mohammed, and Sunmaila Shaibu, who was later killed in a bomb blast at Abuja Airport. But Aminu only took part in the two of the operations.”
” Before the attack, Lati took us to Abiola’s house on Toyin Street, Ikeja.
”We actually drove in and entered the compound. Lati conducted us briefly round the compound and pointed to some vehicles before we drove out. We went to drop him (Lati) in his house at Surulere.
”On the day of the attack, we followed Kudirat Abiola’s white Mercedez Benz from Ikeja to Allen Avenue and then to Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. When we got to the Toll Gate area, Rogers asked me to get close to the Benz and I did.
”Then, he (Rogers) leaned out of the window and started spraying the victim with bullets with the P 90 rifle. After, we immediately drove to Dodan Barracks.”
“In 1999, after the arrest of Major Hamza Al-Mustapha and others, Alhaji Mohammed (Mohammed Abacha) called me and told me to go to Abuja and gather up everybody who took part in the operations for the purpose of leaving the country.
“He offered us money for the travel and later gave me $10, 000. I travelled to Abuja to inform two of those who participated- Aminu and Rogers. Rogers was not interested in leaving the country.
”I travelled to Niger Republic with Aminu, but I kept $9,800 out of the $10, 000 given to me by Mohammed with a friend and went to Niger with only $200 but I came back four days later.
”When I came back I collected the money, and changed it to naira. I intended to use the money to buy a car because that was the only thing I did not have then. I already had a house.
“But on my way to where I would buy the car, armed robbers attacked me and stole the money.”
He also claimed that the P90 rifle they used in killing Kudirat Abiola and the attempted assassination of Chief Abraham Adesanya was given to them by former Zamfara State military administrator, Bala Yakubu.
Rogers narrate in the video below how they assassinated Kudirat Abiola:
REMEMBRANCE

A Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dino Melaye, representing Kogi West, is currently sponsoring a bill at the National Assembly seeking to criminalize facial mutilation under the guise of cultural and tribal marks.

The bill named “A Bill for an Act to provide for the Prohibition of Facial Mutilation, the Offences, Prosecution, and Punishment of Offenders and the Protection of Victims under Threat of Facial Mutilation and to provide for Other Related Matters ” has already passed through a second reading at the Senate.
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/tribal_marks.jpg
This got me wondering how the practice of tribal marks began in Nigeria, what was the motive behind it, was it a fashion trend, a beauty mark, for identification or trade? My discoveries will wow you.

Tribal marks are specific marks which comes in different shapes and sizes, commonly found on the face; which gives it another name of “facial marks”.
According to history, tribal marks practice in Nigeria dates back to the colonial era when the colonial masters were capturing people and taking them to foreign countries for slavery. People started giving family members marks to identify and recognise them when if they were captured and later found.
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/facial-marks.jpg
Thus, these permanent marks became ways of identification passed on from family to family, members of the same village, identification of royal lineage and people from the same lineage. Different lineage, town, and village have different tribal marks, some with similarities and some totally different.

Reasons For Tribal Marks
Like mentioned above, tribal marks were mainly for identification. At some point in history, every clan/village have their distinct tribal marks and that made it easy for either of them to identify their kith and kin in the event of invasion, war, getting lost, or been captured for slavery.
But later, it became a form of creativity and tattoos on bodies, especially the women. In fact, at some point, women with better looking were valued possessions and were more expensively married.
Tribal marks are mostly given to people at a very young age most especially when they are babies. This is because, at that age, the child doesn’t have a say on decisions to giving him/her tribal marks.

The people who make these marks use either razor blades or sharp knives to cut the face and they have native dye, pigmentation or black paste usually from grounded charcoal dust which is put into the open wound to stain the marks, stop the bleeding and to make the wound
Types of Tribal Marks
Since tribal marks are used mainly to differentiate ethnic groups, they vary. There are marks on the cheeks, forehead, on the temple, under the chin and so on.
These marks can be in vertical lines, horizontal, or both. They could also come in slanted lines on both cheeks. These marks are in patterns based on the ethnic group of their bearer and have different meanings and different names.
Yoruba tribal marks is really an interesting feature of Yoruba nation; although no longer common or in vogue, it is fast disappearing due to extant laws, and international campaign.
https://buzznigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/tribal-marks1.jpg
There are various tribal marks, by different ethnic groups within the Yoruba nation: Ijesa (a town in Osun state) people are known by “pele.” Pele is a-four-horizontal-line; an-inch-long mark made on the cheeks on both sides of the mouth.

The Ondo natives of Ondo State are identified by half-an-inch-vertical lines on both sides of the nose down to the mouth (marks are thick and long) called “Soju”. Another tribal mark which can also be found in Ondo state is called “Jaju” which is just a single horizontal line on both sides of the face.
Other Yoruba ethnic groups have different types of facial marks; Ogbomosho natives of (Oyo State) are identified by multiple straight marks drawn from the head which curves on the lower chin straight to the corner of the mouth on both sides of the face called “Gombo”

olamide ain't with etisalat again tho

Yeah.. list was made before

.........

Not long ago we published the list of the highest paid artistes in Nigeria for year 2016. Well its

2017 already and we've decided to put out the list of the richest musicians in Nigeria as of 2017 following the financial reports we've gotten on each of these artists since last year till this present moment.

Do not fall for any non-sensible list that some bloggers will put out later this year, showing Nigerian artists net worth, they are all lies and senseless assumptions. The list that was released last year showing 20 Nigerian musicians and their net worth was later confirmed a list of lies and assumption when singer Davido said to be worth 14million dollars on the list personally debunked the claim and said he is not worth that much in an interview he had with MTV base talk in 2015.

So like we said in our previous post, Nigerian artists net worth cannot be stated because they don't declare their net worth or annual financial income, even Forbes cannot tell the worth of Nigerian artists.

Well, we at T.I.N Magazine will be presenting you our own ten richest musicians in Nigeria as of year 2017 following reports we've gathered on artists whose worth are quite high in the music industry.

So checkout the criteria we used and reports we tracked before we put out this list:

=> How long each of these artists have been earning from music
=> Digital downloads sales: iTunes and MTNmusicplus
=> Label owner or signed artist?
=> How much these artists charge per show
=> How often these artists get invited to perform at shows
=> Endorsement deals each artist has got
=>Other businesses these artists have got.

NOTE: The list you are about to see does not have Net worth included, and some endorsements included are not confirmed by the artists, they are just media reports.

6. Adesua Etomi - 7/10
https://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Adesua-Etomi-1.jpg
There’s just something about Adesua that calls to you, her effortless deliveries on screen, her passion or her small, shapely build, but the Edo state indigene just has that IT factor that captures your attention once she’s in front of the camera. She has been one of the most sought after actresses in Nollywood and we like to think it’s not all down to her talent, but also her charm and sexy, girl-next-door vibe

https://www.bellanaija.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Beverly-Naya-Website-Pictures-March-2016-BellaNaija0012.jpg
If you look up the word ‘sultry’, you’re sure to come across an image of the delectable Miss Naya at some point. Every syllable from her lips just caresses your ears and it helps that she’s more than easy on the eye with a shape she keeps courtesy of her dancing skills among other things. Bev brings the heat on screen and keeps her name on the lips of every big budget producer

3. Yvonne Okoro - 8/10

https://ghanaladies.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Yvonne-Okoro.jpg
This Nollywood babe is a testament that indeed, a Naija and Ghana collabo can only bring perfection. While Falz continues to search for the caramel topping with which he plans to have this chocolate skin, Yvonne has been keeping men on their toes and leaving women green with envy with a sinfully curvaceous bod and a pretty face. She’s not just an actress, but also a producer who has had box office movies successfully hit the cinemas, and what rib-cracking ones they were. Just goes to show this beautiful, bodacious Bella still has more than a bit of humour to her.

2. Meg Otanwa

https://loudestgist.com/wiki/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Meg-Otanwa.jpg
If you haven’t noticed the gorgeous, brown-skinned Koko on Mnet’s Hush, then you simply have never watched the programme. Meg Otanwa makes her debut on this list bringing 50 shades of HAWT. Although she’s faurly new to the acting scene, this shawty has certainly grabbed attention where it matters and got herself an AMVCA for her effort. A captivating actress, she commands a major role on the drama series and we hope to see more of her as time goes

Esetim:
We all know she's saying the truth. It just sounds bitter to some people.

Lol.. What makes what she is saying the truth?? It's her opinion.. You don't expect another person to live by her rules. Not having sex before marriage doesn't mean the marriage is going to be successful.
And what makes you think everyone must get married??
Lol

One of the foremost Nigerian icons of cultural history, the quintessential explorer. Europe had Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan, James Cook, and Marco Polo, Asia had its Ibn Battuta and Zheng He and Africa had OLABISI AJALA. A very Nigerian man at heart and a proud African in soul, Ajala shattered all records of travel, voyaging into lands that no black person had ever seen not to talk of setting their feet there. Ajala had the world in his pockets and the world bowed at his guts. From the physical boundaries of nations to the piercing demarcations of racism, Ajala tore through them all. This is his tale.
[img]http://1.bp..com/-ptIGGk-6ofY/WNUSwJJIf8I/AAAAAAAADVk/gT7Jh81SoKMRPXTBaj0hHTPbWOOhrOpjgCLcB/s640/Ajala-3.jpg[/img]

BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION
Born Moshood Adisa Olabisi Ajala in Ghana to an African Muslim father with four wives, Ajala grew up in a large family. He was one out of 25 children. In his own words in his legendary book, An African Abroad, he said:
‘I was born in Ghana, of Nigerian parents, and brought up in Nigeria, where I had my schooling at the Baptist Academy, Lagos, and Ibadan Boys’ High School. At the age of eighteen I went to America to further my studies. My father, a traditionalist who belongs to the old school…’
Ajala’s initial goal was to study medicine and as a matter of fact, he was the first black student to be pledged by the Delta Upsilon Pi ‘fratority’, a co-educational Greek-letter organization at De Paul University in Chicago in January 1952 where he was a pre-medical student. He was so active that he was made the feature editor of the campus newspaper, the De Paulian. Ajala said at that time that once he became a medical doctor he was going to return to Africa to in his words ‘wage war on voodoo and other superstitions.’ He said he was proud of his 24 siblings, one of whom was a student in England. Ajala said: ‘The world should send doctors to Africa, and missionaries to Chicago. The gangsters here need converting much more than we do.’ He would never fulfill his dream of becoming a medical doctor as he stumbled on something far more enchanting.

BICYCLING ACROSS THE UNITED STATES
Fame came to Moshood Ajala in 1952 when he decided to embark on a lecture tour across the United States from Chicago to Los Angeles, all on a bicycle. Aged 22, Ajala set out on the 12th of June 1952 from Chicago on a bicycle tour covering an incredible 2,280 miles. He arrived the Los Angeles City Hall on 10th of July, two days ahead of his 30-day schedule. Upon arrival, Ajala was received by the city mayor Fletcher Bowron. While narrating his experience of the cross-country tour, Mr. Ajala said everything was generally fine and the only nasty incident was a time in Topeka, Kansas where he was jailed for 44 hours after the white YWMA refused him a room and called the police when he protested (kindly note that that was time when the United States of America was bitterly divided with segregation politics gaining ground). A man not to be cheated, Ajala filed a suit against the Topeka YMCA and its secretary via the Nigerian ambassador in Washington. He was determined no one was going to mess with a Nigerian citizen and get away with it, not even a band of unruly Americans in Kansas.
But what was the purpose of his travel? Ajala was a psychology junior at the Roosevelt College in Chicago and his goal for the tour was to educate the American public on the progress made by his native West African country of Nigeria. The tour included stops to deliver lectures at 11 major cities. Ajala also did his tour wearing native Nigerian costumes described as ‘elaborately flowered robes with a felt-like head-dresses to match’, to which Ajala said:…will show and prove to Americans that we do not go about nakedly in loin clothes.’
Ajala also appeared on television and this was how he was described in Global Television Formats: Understanding Television Across Borders:
‘Perhaps even more significant for our discussion of the show’s global and local dynamics, however, was the participation of Nigerian contestant Olabisi Ajala, a sophisticated world traveller and secretary to his country’s prime minister. Olabisi was an attractive and charismatic black man who held a degree in psychology from Columbia University and was an expert in ethnology, the subject he chose for Lascia o Raddoppia? Olabisi recurrently appeared on TV wearing traditional Nigerian clothes, and he managed to transform every night on the show into a celebration of his ethnic and cultural heritage. The final night however, Olabisi entered the TV studio wearing an impeccable tuxedo, while Mike wore the traditional Nigerian costume, demonstrating once more his ability to interact with his contestants’ most genuine aspects of identity, be it regional, Italian or foreign and ‘Other.’’

AJALA THE ACTOR
Following his daring bicycle trip across continental United States, Ajala became the darling of many. Newspaper journalists besieged him and he was made a celebrity overnight. Deals, endorsements and contracts came flying at him. One of such was the movie contract he signed with Eagle-Lion Studios in Hollywood in August 1955, the deal involved making a series of drama and spy films with European and African backgrounds.
After his deportation from the United States, Ajala proceeded to Canada and spent nine months perfecting his acting skills. It was while he was there that he starred in the stage play Lost In The Stars.

BRUSHES WITH AMERICAN LAW AND THE DEPORTATION
A free-spirited individual known for crashing into movies amongst other interesting ways of expressing his liberty, it was not long before Ajala surfaced on the American security radar. In July 1953, things had taken turn for the worse for Ajala. But what happened?
In March 1953, the police of Beverly Hills, California arrested and jailed Ajala on three felony charges. He was accused on one count of forgery, two grand theft and three, worthless cheque charges. To add to his trouble, he had also been sued by a former Chicago nurse for refusing to accept paternity of his child. Back to the forgery case, specific charges against Ajala indicated that he made attempts to work a ‘bunko’ game by opening a savings account at a branch of Bank of America under the fake name of ‘Edward Hines’ then made deposits at other branches with worthless cheques. Officials said Ajala made five of such phony deposits of about $450.

He was eventually found guilty of forgery and deported from the United States of America, he was aged 24, an exchange student from Africa and an actor. Ajala was not really deported solely because of the grand theft charges (to which he pleaded not guilty before Judge Orlando H. Rhodes), he became a subject of deportation also because he failed to maintain his studies at the Santa Monica Junior College, thus invalidating his visa. For the forgery and grand theft charges, Ajala pleaded not guilty saying with all firmness and seriousness that he was duped by Arnold Weiner, a white male ex-bank accountant. Weiner said while it was true that he showed Ajala how to write cheques, he did not dupe him in anyway.
However, it must be stated that Ajala’s deportation was not without drama. After he was convicted of passing bad cheques in Los Angeles, Ajala was ordered by the American authorities to be deported to England from Ellis Island, New York but Ajala resisted and you kAjala Travel, Africa’s Most Famous Travellernow what he did? While awaiting deportation at the Terminal Island in Los Angeles after he was given a one-year suspended jail term, Ajala climbed an 80-foot radio tower and threatened to kpayn himself (that means to commit suicide for my readers who might be raised on Banana Island and do not know what kpayn or kpef means). From atop the tower, Ajala screamed that he ‘would rather leap to my death’ than be deported. Mr. Ajala was on the tower for almost 24 hours while the immigration authorities pleaded with him. Finally, Ajala fell to the ground from a height of 15 feet. He was examined by doctor at the island’s hospital and they said all he suffered was just a sprained back. Immigration authorities said Ajala made the death threat because he feared what they called ‘tribal execution’ if he was packaged back to Nigeria. They quoted Ajala saying:
‘My father will kill me if I am sent back without completing my college studies.’
Immigration officials said Ajala dreaded tribal execution so much so that when the judge sentenced him to a one-year suspended sentence, Ajala dropped to his knees two times and touched the floor with his forehead saying he was ‘calling on Allah’ to bless the judge for the ‘mercy’ shown as the sentence might just save him from execution back home in West Africa.
When Ajala noted that his protest at the order of the immigration authorities did not work, he embarked on a 30-day fast which was the immigration officials translated it to mean a hunger strike to stop his deportation while Ajala insisted he was simply observing his Ramadan fasting as dictated by his Islamic faith. Whatever the case, Mr. Ajala was deported and gallantly flown to London. Immigration officer Justin Bennett confirmed his deportation without any fear of any execution and also stated that Ajala’s request to be sent to Canada was rejected because Canada has refused to approve his application.
Upon arriving in the United Kingdom, Ajala said he was going to work on a new movie at the Ealing Studios in London and talked of his plans to return to the United States.
By September 1954, Ajala was back in the United States with his American-born wife, Hermine Aileen. He explained to reporters that the deportation order only banned him from stepping on American soil and his plan was to resume his acting career in California.

THE GLOBAL TRAVEL

He visited nations such as India, Russia (then the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, USSR), Jordan, Iran (not an Islamic Republic then but a monarchy and America’s greatest ally in the region headed by a monarch), Jordan, Israel and Australia using nothing but a motor-scooter (popularly called Vespa) and met with some of the most powerful people in the world.

These included personalities like Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa who was Nigeria’s first prime minister, Marshal Ayub Khan of Pakistan, Golda Meir of Israel (she was the first female prime minister of the nation), Makarios III of Cyprus, Jawarhalal Nehru of India, Nikita Khrushchev of the USSR, the Shah of Iran (Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi), Gamal Nasser of Egypt, General Ignatius Acheampong of Ghana, Odinga Oginga, former vice president of Kenya and others. Ajala released a book titled An African Abroad documenting all his experiences on the trip, the book was supposed to be the first volume of a trilogy. In all, he visited over 85 countries with his scooter over a period of six years. See photos below:

I must point out that Ajala caused a stir in Israel when he entered without an entry or exit visa. When he arrived the Mandelbaum Gate, he just whizzed by and that was indeed quite shocking for many. Manned by Israeli police officers and security operatives, the Mandelbaum Gate then was a checkpoint that separated the Israeli and Jordanian portions of Jerusalem, it existed until the end of the Six-Day War in 1967.
