Saul became Paul, and labored more than all other apostles.

Abiola dined with the high and mighty but fell out when he decided to pitch his tent with the poor masses. There was also his demand for compensation to Africa for the evils committed against it by the Colonialists, which may have gotten him blacklisted as black sheep bidding his time to strike. Like one analyst put it, he committed class suicide. No wonder, the powers that be (both local and Int'l) saw him as a threat.

Abiola was too wealthy, knowledgeable, connected, popular, loved by the vast majority to be allowed access to power. He obviously was a good man judging by his resolve.


It will be myopic for all people of goodwill to throw away that sacrifice focusing on the individual and his past sins other than the feat that rebirthed the Nigerian democracy.


Let's face it, very few people can do what Abiola did, sacrificing everything for what empowers and benefits the people. This by itself is heroic, and history would for long time celebrate this feat.

The bold is where we have problem as a people. Nobody wants to be held responsible for his actions either by omission or commission.
If you want to hold Jonathan for his actions people will say ah he had good intentions.
try to call OBJ to account for his sins, others will say ah, he is not the worse now.
we as a people have negative thinking.

You still don't and won't probably get the gist right? Nobody is saying the Guy is a saint, infact I have no singular respect for any Nigerian politician cos they are all the same, irrespective of tribe or region they come from. But the point is that June 12 when Nigeria voiced their opinion via an electoral system should not be allowed to go uncorrected. that is what objective people are saying... and despite Abiola's baggage, if majority of Nigerians still wentr ahead to vote for him, then that decision should be respected...

The will of the people have been truncated many times since the inception of Nigeria as a country, and truncating on June 12 1993 just add to the statistics.
So please you shouldn't take the moral high ground using the will of the people, because the elites that own Nigeria do not respect it.

Intrepid01:
when will you people comprehend that June 12 wasn't about Abiola. It was about the Nigerian people that went to the poll and voted for their Candidate of choice but their will and choice was never allowed to see reality. June 12 isn't about the Candidate that won but about the people. Majority of those that stood up for June12 were not even people of Abiola's party but those who knew that the will of the people should never be trampled on by any authority.

Please get it right and stop the misconception..

Abiola was well known to sponsor the military boys to topple governments. In fact Babangida and Abacha were known allies of MKO.
Karma ? I leave that to you.
You help truncate oust a sitting president/ head of state and you think Karma doesn't remember. smh

ElsonMorali:
Sorry but you are not making much sense here. This June 12 thing is not about MKO.

It's about the stolen mandate of the people.

Whether MKO was a saint or not the fact remains that majority of Nigerians cast their votes for him and he was denied that mandate given to him by the people.

This is not an Abiola struggle, this is a Nigerian struggle.

Most of you were not born during this era so you will never understand the hope that particular election signified for Nigerians at that point in time.

We can debate maturely, without some snickering remarks.
Now to what you wrote above. Abiola was well known to sponsor the military boys to topple governments. In fact Babangida and Abacha were known allies of MKO.
Karma? I leave that to you.

Seems 2019 is gradually resetting their brains.

Auladimeji:
Abiola is a criminal

The media want to whitewash MKO

dlondonbadboy:
Why would some people deliberately remove history from our schools? This is th3 first time i am seeing this speech...

If History were brought back you will thank your stars MKO, never achieved his dream of the president.

He dined and wined with them. Sponsored different coup de etat.... Why are people trying to paint MKO as saint?

olatunyemi:
though I am not against restructuring but I haven't seen any group with a plan on how it should looks like.

The plan on how it should look is simply, RESOURCE CONTROL, TRUE FEDERALISM.
RESOURCE CONTROL
Let it each state control their resources and whatever they generate.
Let each state raise their own income
Let each state decide how they manage whatever they raise.
TRUE FEDERALISM
Let each state contribute a percentage of what they generate to the federal government. Not going cap in hand every month to share allocations
Let each state be in charge of their security apparatuses
Let each state be in charge of their education, not waiting for one outdated curriculum that doesn't suit their needs
Let each state be in charge of their capital and recurrent expenditures, not tailor guiding their budget to align with that of the federal government.
NB
These are some that I can just write down without consulting anything. Now when the country is restructured, the States will become creative on how to raise their own monies. The state government, will know that if they fail, they will be solely accountable for that failure.
Governance will come near to the grassroots.

I can see some people asking, wetin concern me? The future concerns all of us.
It's just unfortunate that the Southern people are the way they are. The North always gets what they want, no questions asked.
If our politicians in the name of Governors can sell NK and shut off the voices of dissent then we have to admit it, majority of the South if not all is a conquered territory.

All these visits just to save face and pretend like it never happened.

These

He is part of Quota system Education

If it was the right thing why do they keep giving reasons to justify it?

Omeokachie:
What has reeling out educational qualifications got to do with your credibility?


This is the same minister who claimed that arewa youth were "misquoted", even when the same youth have never come out to make such claim.

Same arewa youths he tried to shield later came out to "withdraw" the quit notice!

How do you "withdraw" something which the minister claimed you had been "misquoted" about?


They keep making a fool of themselves.

Welcome to Nigeria

Bubo administration. the more you look the less you see

And someone said Buhari will end corruption.

Africa

We have Noticed you, Nairaland biggest troll.

The butterfly thinks it's a bird.

Very funny man. Those who put you in Aso Rock will kill you first.

Tukur Burutai, is the heat getting to you? Assuming the DHQ didn't make the 'Declaration' what of the five leprous fingers in the name of Governors proscribing IPOB?
Moreover, where is El Zazakki? And where is Nnamdi Kanu? The Shiites may keep quiet, but I doubt Igbos will ignore that question in the coming months.

Where is El Zazakki?
Where is Nnamdi Kanu?
Nagging questions. As per hate speech, I still remember a few.... Dogs and Baboons being soaked in blood...... 97% and 5%.... Aisha (the suicide bomber from yola) .... the ineffectual buffoon. ..... Shepopotamus.....etc

BudeYahooCom:
Now to prove that this piece of propaganda is coming from under lair mohammed's islamic hat. Abia and most parts of Imo people don't bear the name 'Okwudili'. Every Igbo man knows you find 'Okwudiri' in Abia.
'Okwudili' is found in Anambra, Enugu and some part of Imo.

The pro-almajiri ewedu-chopping buffoon who cooked this up didn't do his home work well.

See the way the pro-fulani zombies who always ascribe 'intelligence' to themselves are lapping up the propaganda.

Seriously you get time to day analyze the letter. Even the governor, Ikpeazu, know that what he and his fellow governors did may cause him his re-election. Make we day watch.

maclatunji:
I had wanted to raise this too. I am happy the youths of Umuahia have raised it. Mr. Governor, over to you.

What do you know about Igbo culture? Better face your Muslim section, where it's required for someone to agree to Allah before he or she can comment.

News without source.
Letter that doesn't carry the signature of the so called youths.
MOD, quickly pushed it to the front page, just to discredit Kane and IPOB.....And someone will think that this forum doesn't promote the very thing they seem to be condemning.
Most Nigerians harbor hate in their mind, but are quick to point out the hate in others.

Crocodile Smile has already been done in the South South. And they can't try that shiit in the Southwest.

what is the name of the dead of ASP?

Especially the Brutus of Southeast.
