SixSeven: That's the part that is of concern to me here. The way he died is not something that should be revised into a joke.
Once he died there, that place should have been preserved. That's how we recollect history. I just updated my post you quoted to include the video of where Tafawa Balewa's body was found. Do you know what that site is today?
I have no idea where Balewa's was. I only know of that of Aguyi Ironsi and Adekunle Fajuyi. Both were killed somewhere at Lalupon on the outskirts of Ibadan
However some few years ago,on the very land they were killed,their statues have been erected side by side which still stands there till date
SixSeven: Governor of Lagos at the time, please who killed Funsho Williams
This is the reason we should write our history. Is it the same SL Akintola that fought before he died and did not die like a chicken? He did not go down without a fight so what's this all about? About writing our history, there are books about SL Akintola and they can tell story about this man but if Tinubu can tell the story of Akintola, I want him to tell his own life story, let's check something. Starting from his parents 🤡 We should ban those who don't have a clear history from telling history please. It's an insult to our collective intelligence. The b is ggest mistake the government made, and so many of our politicians do this was to turn Akintola's residence to a Court of Appeal. We no de preserve history, we will just destroy things and be building new things.
One of his sons wrote a book about him where he described his father's death. You may find that in libraries abroad and in some archives but the title of the book was Akintola, the man and the legend: A biography by Akintola, Victor Ladipo.
The house didn't belong to Akintola. It was one of the houses abandoned by the British when they left. Fani Power was staying at Agodi,while Akintola lived at the house which still stands there till date
In as much as I'm indifferent towards Akintola. But the fact that he died like a Man deserves some respect. He died fighting
P.S. But if he didn't shoot back at the soldiers,he might have lived just like Fani Kayode lived too. But Akintola was already prepared.
They knew something would happen,but never even knew it could be a coup. The entire Western Region was in crisis and it was killing here and there. He got a Gun and was taught how to shoot by Lagerma and that was what ended him
Finally fhe army has confirmed the news that officers from the North wanted to kill Tinubu but everywhere is quiet
As in officers from the North wanted to trucate democracy and everywhere is silent. From those people who also shout Igbo this and that and gets angry over abuse can go quiet when a actual death threats against a southern president.
AMINDA: Contrary to what his Nairaland lackeys say, Tinubu will face very stiff opposition in 2027, even from the Southwest. The coast is still not clear yet in Lagos, Osun and now Oyo in 2027. He cannot win the Southwest in a landslide.
"That Seyi Makinde's derogatory comment against President Tinubu at Osinbajo's birthday "
. Fayose is a clown. Someone that doesn't know who's birthday occasion took place is saying otherwise.
He doesn't even know it was Samson Ajetomobi, president of The Men of Issachar who clocked 60 that was having a birthday in which Osinbajo was invited as Guest
"The stock market in President Donald Trump's first year back in the White House was the weakest of any president's first year of a new term since 2005, when George W. Bush started his second term."
LordIsaac: Thanks. I don't think so as she didn't complain of leg pain. She got home, showered, ate, and left this world right there in the sitting room (she wasn't sick).
It might be. It has been advised that when elderly people travel long distances,they should wear a certain type of socks or when in the plane they should move their legs so their legs wont get swollen
The useless omo is in power now,he cannot use his office to put those behind the killings of kudirat and others in jail. But wetin concern am,he only uses your brain for political gain while running after his Fulani slaves and not wanting to offend them
They can shout igbo this, igbo that during electionering. Ask them what the igbo has done,they cant have anything to point at except to dey beat around the bush
IbeOkehie: This is PRECISELY what I hate about immigrants now and this is what provokes hate, racism, and far right ideology among White populations or actually Native Populations EVERYWHERE. For example, this is the EXACT complaint that Yorubas have about Igbo people living in Lagos and I very much agree with the Yoruba. This is what is motivating the current Japanese Government and also Denmark. Let the Muslims talk crap in Denmark and Japan now and see what happens. They should stage large protest marches and riots like they do in the UK let's see.
It's really funny to read Black Africans chancing Oyibo about "stolen land" in North America and "equity" when your biggest country Nigeria, the 6th largest crude oil & natural gas producer, is also the Poverty Capital of the World. Yeah, Nigerians are soooo smart
The Black African victims of Apartheid are the RICHEST BLACK AFRICANS on the Continent...NOT Nigerians and we all know WHY!!!!
Black South Africans have played it smart, they don't tolerate mass immigration from BLACK AFRICAN countries and they're learning to protect their own White producers and enjoying the INEVITABLE benefits that flow to almost EVERYONE from an Anglo dominated capitalist system. Nigerians should always thank Black Americans for being so accommodating, against their own interests.
Abeg make I hear word jare! President Trump needs to buckle down and get to work, he hasn't even started.
Good Luck to Nigeria.
Which yorubas are complaining about Igbos? Abi tribal and ethnic war lords like you that have nothing to say except ethnic baithing here and there
so this obedients character of attacking, threatening, bashing and insulting any person with a contrary opinion about obi didn't start recently.
Even people with the caliber of Peter even engage in such gutter behavior just because they support the man.
They will leave the message and not respect people's opinions and start attacking the messenger s personality and credibility.
Wow... just WOW!
Yeah Yeah,like APC Buhari/Tinubu supporters who won't just disagree but disagree with threats or death and violence
Those who killed 800 people in 2011 when Buhari lost including 8 serving corps members. Those who called GEJ all types of names and carried his coffin.
Those who threatened people who now gets angry when the other person only replies back verbally with no threats or deaths. Not with violence,but giving it back to back verbally because the last time I know,we have freedom of speech in Nigeria
But it gets you angry and annoyed. When in essence you have done worst,you called for deaths,for violence all because you want to take over power
Why should they be giving families of tafewa Balewa,aguyi Ironsi,abacha and others when they have passed on?
It makes no sense. It should be only for living Ex Presidents and former Vice Presidents. The moment you pass away,all payments and entitlements should stop
OverCalculating: Great Awolowo! Tinubu's Mentor. Cocoa House in Ibadan, NTA, Coca Cola franchise in Nigeria, free education...these and many others were legacies that he left behind. May his soul rest in peace. What do you want people to say about you when you die?
Abeg abeg. Tinubu doesnt share anything with Awolowo. Not at all abeg
The class of leaders from the SW since 99 do not share anything with Baba. They are fake Awoists.
Awo himself will kick them away if he sees them today. No comparism abeg
And these are the types of things that causes coups.
You claim you are sure of winning 2027,yet you are afraid of oppostion. You dont want any other person on the ballot. If he sure for you,Let others contest then
Cajal: Ladoja conceptualized the road including the road map , ajimobi started it and SEYI continues ... Hopefully penkelemessi will complete it Argue with fact not sentiment
Show me one single kilometer of the circular road done by Ajimobi and I'll give you 50K since you said Ajimobi started it
Show me one single kilometer of the road he constructed to show be started it
The time starts NOW
P.S. As for Adelabu,na for inside his house he go do any constrution not oyo state .
