PoliticsHow Abiola Was Betrayed, By Tinubu by davidsthe(op): 12:14pm On Jun 13, 2018
Events of recent days starting from the executive order from Mr President on the 6th of June, arose in me not only a fresh consciousness of the June 12 history but also a nostalgia, I was young then, I remember particularly one of the folk songs..

(Read in yoruba)
Të ba ti d'ona abuja k'e sha ti ya sapa kan
E o ri babangida ni bi to tin toro esuru je
Te ba ri e ma fun Te ba fun e ro go
Yio fa yin laso ya nitori werey abuja ni
(Bridge) babangida ke ru e, abiola fe jo ye

The executive order also made me want to even know more about some of the events that shaped history (knowing or hearing then that Abiola was no saint himself - he bankrolled coup and encouraged military juntas) I think Hafsat Abiola- Costello alluded to this when he apologized to PMB, I was curious, I saw some YouTube videos, from interviews to Oputa panel sittings (which I will encourage anyone interested in such topics as military intrigues/ scheming, strategy, all that jazz to take a look at). One of those interviews I can share here is one granted by Sen Tinubu in October 1998 shortly after he returned from exile.

Few things are clear,
1. what are generally believed in the mainstream about figures like IBB, Al-Mustapha, Ayo Opadokun may not be exactly correct
2. many of the actors of that period are still very active in politics today - people don't retire from politics!
3. power is not given it is taken (most times by some form of coercion)

Below is an excerpts of the said interview happy reading

Excerpts from an interview published in The News magazine of October 26, 1998, Sen. Bola Tinubu, then fresh from exile on the intrigues of the Abacha regime, the games politicians and the military played and his hopes for the future. He spoke with Sunday Dare and Henry Ugbolue.

How do you feel to be back home?

It is very, very nice to be back, very good feeling of family, camaraderie to be back in one’s homeland. It is indescribable: the reception, the joy of being back home. First, I want to say a big ‘thank you’ to all journalists. Without you, without your steadfastness, your commitment to truth and justice, your tenacity, the struggle would have been nothing. We are back to strengthen that section of the press which stood for justice courageously. I salute the religious leaders, particularly the CAN (Christian Association of Nigeria) with honourable men such as Rev Sunday Mbang, Reverend Abiodun Adetiloye and the rest of them. To have seen this nation go through struggle without loss of lives in their hundreds of thousands; without turning this Nigeria into Rwanda or Burundi, was due to their prayers, and their courageous support for justice and truth. We will continue to praise them and hold them in the highest esteem. The history of this country will not be complete without their names being written in gold.




Let us take you to the journey to exile. At what point, did it dawn on you that you had to travel out of this country?

At the point that it was clear to me that my life was in danger? Yes, after the annulment and we declared Abacha’s regime illegal, Senator Abraham Adesanya, Senator Kofo Akerele-Bucknor, Senator Ameh Ebute, Senate president; Rev. Father Nwolu and Senator Nweje were arrested initially. I went underground and was being sought by the police and the authorities. Yet, I continued to grant interviews to the international media and the local press. Suddenly, on the 9th of October, my house in Victoria Island, Lagos, was petrol-bombed and a call came in that ‘you grant another interview, you try to abuse this government again, you will be miserable.’ I was still taking those as mere threats until a friend called to tell me that I should go deeper underground or leave the country, that what will happen to me might be a send-forth to eternity. The language he used, I mean the way it was used, coupled with the fact that I was still on drips for jaundice and typhoid, hit me hard.

Later, another friend phoned me that they were heading for my house and I saw the signs. They didn’t meet me at home. I headed for the hospital where I received treatment. I left that hospital in disguise because they were already at the door. They didn’t know I was the one.

My passports had been impounded. But I was assisted by some embassies to procure travel documents with which I travelled. I went through Agege and the rest by commercial motorbike disguised as a mallam (laughs). I even went to bid Kudirat Abiola and the rest good-bye. But I could not go to my mum, I could not say good-bye to everybody else because at that stage, it wasn’t safe to do so. So, I left through the routes that became popularly known as ‘NADECO routes’, out of the country. Sometimes, I had to hitch rides on bikes.

I landed in Benin Republic and made a call to Gen Akinrinade (Alani). As I was talking with him, they were right in front of his house. He said they’d just arrived....

Bros one of the first set of people to break the news Sumner sambo (tvcnews) specifically said he saw Sen Dino running into the house of reps area the moment the thugs started their abominable act. As though to corroborate the point it wasn't long after the thugs left that Sen Dino surfaced in the Senate chambers.
Oga thought the thugs came for something more life threatening and he felt he may be a target if not the target and he ran for his life.

AgricultureRe: Advice Needed On A Cashew Farm by davidsthe(m): 12:28pm On Feb 03, 2018

Good morning , is it advisable to rent a cashew farm for a season for 600k. meanwhile the cashew tree is on two acres.
For 600k ? I don't think it is o. Talk to hotmas he's been involved in farming cashew for awhile his experience can be valuable to you. I no be farmer no marketing I dey do yet.

grabben:
Yes, it is advisable when you must have mastered the contemporary dynamics of the export of cashew nuts. This is very important. For more information, click on the first link on my signature. Good luck!!!
I don't think it's fair to comment indiscriminately on cashew thread and advice people without facts just so you can get by with your business. How many tons im go even get from 2acres that you are talking of mastering dynamics of export? Sir where is your NEPC reg certificate ?

What is the point, he should have moved in the summer, atleast help liverpool for the remainder of the season.
I completely agree with you. What's the point..champions league he can't play for FCB this season, the league is almost done and dusted, league cup not "so" important so why move now. All parties could have signed the deal and (Coutinho) insists he'll move in the summer as desperate as Barca is they would still have waited tho that mean reduce the transfer fee but would have endeared him to the Kops more.

Horpeyemey:
Hi everyone,
What do you really think about the price of cashew nut in the country.Is it going to fall like that of cocoa or it is gonna rise?
To the buyers out there,lets hear your opinion on this base on the current price.Chat me up for business talk... 07039322570
I def expect a fall considering that the naira is stronger than it was last year and though it's an election year or rather campaign year =D which may cause the Maura to loose value due to liquidity issues and inflation I still don't expect the raw cashew nuts price to near the peak price of last year.

Anyway no matter the price ma ri temi shey oo

BluntBoy:
As at the time Jesus made the statement, he had not fulfilled the Law. When he died on the Cross, the bondage of the law finished in our lives. His blood liberated us from the bondage and curse of the Law.

And supposing you want to continue tithing according to the Law, then you need to give your tithes only to the Levites. Even Moses did not collect tithes because he was not a Levite. Mention one prophet in the Bible that collected tithes? Aside the Levites, mention one prophet, king or apostle that collected tithes in the Bible? Just one?
Cc oyeludef

To begin with Moses was a Levite, his father Amram was levite and so was Aaron his brother and Miriam his sister double check your fact before you come public with it there are vast no of audience some of which you have a tendency to mislead some which will only have an impression of you. Having said that tithing preceded the law (father Abraham paid tithe) long before the law was given to Moses. An "abolishing" of the law does not abolish tithing (cos it wasn't in the law package') in the first place STUDY follow not popular opinions cc emeka1million

So, your pastor's offering can buy them?

Calm down and listen to me. Stop glorifying a man like you. Other people contributed to those bags and you want to give all the credits to your pastor. If he is so generous, why didn't he ask that the jet be sold and the money given to the poor.

Would Jesus or any of the Apostles or Early Church leaders have accepted such an expensive gift when billions are suffering all over the world? You want us to see the good works of your pastor as if only his money went into it. I am even sure that he didn't even contribute one kobo to the purchase of those bags.
. Bros I hail o, people should really study the Bible before making some general statements oo, on more than one occasion Bible recorded that an expensive perfume (a cologne) was poured on Jesus' feet on one of such occasions he even told Bro Judas not to worry about the poor John 12:2-8 and the other to emphasize a certain degree of appreciation (a kind of cause and effect..) luke 7:36-48 I hope you do find time to study this references. I'm also aware of how the great Apostle commended the Philippian church for sending him gift...those who serve at the alter...hope you could complete this sentence. Be guided don't be quick to criticize (not only men of God) people generally there may be alot more information (premises) to draw a sound conclusion, don't be involved in a thing just cos it's invogue or it's trendy or it's nice to so do... my 2kobo!

BusinessRe: Cashew Nut Exports Increased Significantly By 463% To $37m In Q2’17 by davidsthe(m): 1:15am On Sep 25, 2017
But this should not stop one who's determined to make some money...I've been into cashew now not less than 4years and I've never really experienced any of this,
That's not to say it doesn't happen though but your tone tend to suggest a high incidence or occurrence of these 'risk elements'

Nutase:
its a cash based business.you travel to villages to buy the cashew nuts. The villagers mostly prefer cash and they can kill you if you are not smart.
Secondly, the villagers are very smart. They can show you good nuts and change it in your presence and sell bad nuts to you.
Thirdly, transporting it to Lagos is another challenge. I've seen cases were the drivers diverted goods worth millions of naira.
