• His condition is still critical
–Son
Some eminent Nigerians,
among them the leader of
the pan Yoruba socio-
political group, Afeniefere,
Pa Reuben Fasoranti, Chief
Ayo Adebanjo and Lagos
lawyer, Barrister Fred
Agbaje, have urged the
Federal Government to
come to the aid of one of the
heroes of the Nigerian civil
war, Brigadier- General
Benjamin Adekunle, who
has for the past five years
been battling various
ailments.
Adekunle, popularly known
as ‘Black Scorpion’, was
Commander of 3 Marine
Commando of the federal
troop during the Nigeria/
Biafra Civil War. He has
been particularly suffering
from memory lapses,
according to his son,
Abiodun Adekunle.
Fasoranti said the Federal
Government should show
interest in the welfare of
General Adekunle, saying
his medical bills should be
offset by government. “The
Federal Government should
see to his welfare because
he served the country well.
He was prominent during
the civil ear and I think the
Government should pay his
medical bill. That would
encourage other people to
serve their country”,
Fasoranti said.
Also speaking, another
frontline Yoruba leader,
Chief Ayo Adebanjo said it
would be unfortunate if the
Federal Government failed
to recognise the of caliber of
General Adekunle.
“It will be unfortunate for
the government not to
recognize the need to take
care of General Benjamin
Adekunle. Government must
come to his aid now and
take over his medical
treatment”, Adebanjo said.
Lagos Lawyer and Human
Right Activist, Barrister Fred
Agbaje also said Benjamin
Adekunle must not die
unsung, saying government
must take care of his
medical expenses
immediately “It tells you
how Nigeria treats her
leaders. It shows how
disrespectful we are.
How will a man who has
sacrificed his life for the
unity of the country to
remain sacrosanct, should
be neglected and forgotten
at a time he needs the
country most? Agbaje asks.
Abiodun, in a chat with
Sunday Mirror yesterday,
said his father had been
battling the illness for some
years and was yet to get
deserving attention.
“He is frail, mostly
bedridden and suffers from
memory lapses which are
on and off,” he said, adding,
‘“Many people who are not
close to the family have not
heard of this because of the
nature of the man (Black
Scorpion); the family has
been fiercely protective of
his privacy, but I feel things
have come to a head and a
strong action needs to be
taken now to prolong his
life. “My father is currently
receiving home treatment.
In previous years, he went
for some treatments in
India.
But rather, we are pleading
with the necessary
authorities such as the
Nigerian Army for
assistance, to fly him out to
a facility, not in Germany,
or Switzerland, but Ghana,
where we have identified a
facility where such
conditions as he’s
experiencing are treated
and possibly reversed,”
Abiodun solicited.
He said he had just returned
from Army headquarters’
secretariat to deliver a Save
Our Soul (SOS) letter for the
Chief of Army Staff, saying
that he was expectant.
He also urged the Federal
Government to move in
quickly to save the life of his
father.” I have no choice but
to be optimistic about
favourable and timely
response. I have to believe
this current Federal
Government though not
perfect, in their wisdom
understands the
ramifications or even the
perception of not going all
out to do whatever is
necessary to come to my
father’s aid,” he said.

chai! This man really suffered while he was alive.

Awo betrayed the Igbos to please his slave masters, who later turned the heat on him. Northerner leaders’ve given prominent Yoruba men an overdose of humiliation that will last them a life time despite using them to fight the civil war.


Did Awo die a fulfilled man? NO ……the Hausa Fulani whose interest he severed during the civil war sent him to grave. Jakande was used by IBB to rope Awo into treasonable felony …Awo later committed suicide.

Did Abiola die a fulfilled man NO , his paddy paddy IBB messed him up big time, and he was later imprisoned, chained, tortured and later poisoned to death. Some top military officers watched his Compromizing Video with Kudurat while he was in prison, what a shame!!!. Northern military officers make mockery of his heavenly feeling groans. liking it to that of a sex starved ape, that is the height of humiliation, the Compromizing Video was circulated among Hausa officers and few Igbos. Abiola’s sex heavenly feeling groans was/is still a butt of joke on Yorubas. Kudurat was later slaughtered like a sallah ram.

Shenokan was humiliated out of office like a street tout after just 80 days in office.
Diya, Adisa, Olaruwaju was humiliated and thrown out of office like an
The list is endless Bola Ige and others

One major actor gone. We are still counting. They will meet the children they killed in anger. Useless poor hero.

barcanista: I understand your PAIN. But be rest assured that the Hero is Resting in Peace

Lmfao. Why did you not remember him when he was suffering and dying poorly on his sick bed

DEATH OF THE WAR
CRIMINAL, he was looking
like an ape, his mouth as
wide as that of blood
suckers.
Finally he has passed on
like all mortals to wine
and dine with satan in his
kingdom. He has joined
the Biafran murdered 3
millions. We do not miss
you at tall. He died poor and shamefully

May his useless soul roast in hell. Amen

■ Says creation of new polling units is ploy to rig election

■ Insurgency won’t end soon

Fiery Ijaw activist and leader of the defunct Niger Delta Volunteers Force, Alhaji Mu jadid Asari—Dokubo has declared that the Australian negotiator Stephen Davis is play ing former Olusegun President Obasanjo by his recent disclosure on the sponsors of Boko Haram. Asari- Dokubo who in an interview in Yenagoa stated that he was the first Nigerian Davis negotiated with said the international negotiator was being economic with the truth.

He queried the rationale behind classifying former Chief of Army Staff General Azubuike Ihejirika and former governor Ali Modu Sheriff as sponsors of Boko Haram, when the insurgents at different times had called for their heads.

Asari- Dokubo was pessimistic about the end to the insurgency soon and called on Nigerians to resort to self as the military cannot be trusted to end the insurgency since it is polarised along ethnic lines. He called on President Goodluck Jonathan to call the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to order on the creation of new polling units which he said is a ploy to rig the 2015 election.

Excerpts

What is your view on the continued insurgency in the North?

My position is widely known by everybody. My position is that this is a military exercise and a war rehearsal. The main war is not to capture Bama Gwoza or Mubi it is to capture Niger Delta oil communities, it is to capture Yenagoa, Bonny, Kalabari, Nembe , Escravos, Okrika. People are being deceived like a lot of people in Abuja that the war would end in the North. They wanted to wished it away rather than handle it with the se riousness it deserves, they did not do that and we are where we are. People should be prepared. We cannot wait for the military and Police to protect us. We should resort to self help, we should start preparing.

Is that the Federal Government allowed the war to be prolong to what we have now

You see the government at all times want to balance the situation so that it won’t be accused of high-handedness. That is why we are where we are. Instead of handling it with seriousness and gravity which the insurgency is they want to wish it away but it is not possible. From the beginning some of us told them it is not possible to wish it away. I wrote a memo to the President in 2011 before his inauguration and I clearly stated that the war is more serious than it is. But I was called an alarmist and it was dismissed. I published it on my Face book page so that it would be on record. I said it would spiral out of control and this is what is happening now.

90 percent of Northern military personnel are sympathetic to the Boko Haram and that is why we have what is happening. They are sabotaging the war. There is no longer esprit de corps in the Army. What they want to achieve is to frighten people that would vote for Goodluck Jonathan in the North not to come out to vote. They believe that there are so much registered voters in the North- East and North- West so if people are scare they would be able to come back to power. But it won’t work. Would they tie our hands? We would be able to resist them.

What is your take on the revelation by the Australian negotiator, Stephen Davis on those sponsoring Boko Haram

I know Stephen Davis very well. I know him to his family. I think he is economical with the truth. As somebody I know I was disappointed. I was the first person Stephen Davis negotiated with. I am totally disappointed in the politics he is playing.

He negotiated with you how

He negotiated with me when I was in the creek on behalf of the European Embassies in Nigeria. He negotiated with me to cease fire and come out to meet with the then President Olusegun Oba­sanjo. He negotiated with me without paying any thing. We only agreed because we thought Oba sanjo would be sincere but it did not happen.

How can he say opposition is sponsoring Boko Haram and then the first name he would mention is Azubuike Ihejirika. When did Ihejirika start to sponsor Boko Haram, was it when it was formed in 2002 when he was never Chief of Army Staff of when their leader Mohammed Yusuf was extra-judicially murdered in 2009 or when did he start sponsoring if not that someone is playing politics.

When you bring pepper soup joint talk to na tional issues, it is sad. He has diminished himself as an International negotiator. I hold him in very high regard but I am disappointed.

He said former governor Ali Modu Sheriff is sponsoring Boko Haram and I ask when? What it when they accused him of allegedly murdering Yusuf’s father-in law who was his former Com missioner. Lest we forget one of the demands of Boko Haram in 2009 was that Sheriff should be put on trial, so when did he start the sponsorship.

Now all of a sudden, Sherrif who was a chief tain of the All Progressive Congress (APC) was not a sponsor of Boko Haram until he defected to the PDP.

Now APC are not shouting. So when they are hobnobbing with him he was not a Boko Haram sponsor until now. APC is evil and they are hiding the truth from people. As far as I am concern, my friend Stephen Davis has totally reduced himself. All his comments are pepper soup joint talk. He did not name other members of the opposition but mentioned Ihejirika.

The same Ihejirika, El Rufai and others said should be taken to International Court for War Crimes, now he said he is a sponsor of Boko Haram.

Davis is Obasanjo’s friend. Obasanjo brought him to Nigeria and he is playing Obasanjo‘s script. He is playing Obasanjo’s agenda. Whoever intro duced him to the government should have done a background check on him

But the Federal Government has denied engaging him

Yes they did but when it was belated. Just like I just read that the Bring Back Goodluck Jonathan signpost should be removed. Why is the government pretending that some girls are missing No girls are missing. They should not play politics with this thing. Nobody is missing. It is a scam

You still want to believe this your argument that girls are not missing

There is nothing like I still want to believe. There was no time girls were kidnapped.

But the International community, government agencies believe girls are missing

Which International community? The international community that went to Iraq and said there were weapons of mass destruction, till today they have not seen any. The International community that went to Libya to kill Ghadaffi and today have totally destroyed Libya. Which International community are you talking about the international community with vested interests? They came since with goggle map and co, so why have they not located the girls. It is a disgrace. Why have America soldiers not rescue the girls.

What is your view over the brewing controversy over the creation of addition al polling units by INEC

President Jonathan should stand up and call Jega to order. From the voters registration it was found out that millions of Northern votes were dubious. More votes were lost in the North so it was believed that the North would lose more poll ing units but out of over 30,000 new polling units 22,000 was given to North while a paltry 8,000 was given to the South. It is an insult. This is a ploy to rig the election.

The President should not think that his interest outweighs the interest of every other person. Natu rally the North is not as populated as the South. We have been calling that non partisan people should come and carry out a census. Let United Nations come and carry out a census. Where in the world is the arid north more populated than the South, economic indices does not even support that.

The used and throwaway Adakunle is already roasting in the hell.

Musiwa does not know anything about Yoruba tradition. In Yoruba land you must betray your brother if you want to be political relevant

He's too dull to be a vice president

Retardeen

Sheriff was not a BH sponsor when he was in APC.

This people and stupidity smh

MalcoImX: Any psychologist knows for sure you ain't a happy man"

You are a BH member

Definitely APC hired him

thwarrior72: Which one be stomach infrastructure?

U never heard of Fayemi rice?

MalcoImX: I've resolved not to worry myself so much about bigots who defend based on tribe. Who cares about Ihejirika but you lot. If a man of Davis' repute had mentioned ANY northerner, let me assure you we'll disown him 100% and assist in him being roasted.

Northerners are both Boko Haram and sponsor. They should continue killing themselves.
Obviously we are enjoying it

Another propaganda from the useless north

Don't forget stomach infrastructure
