JAWBONE:
Do you think this is positive news? Or you don't know what positive news means?

This is the official gazette of the Federal Military Government, which released Chief Awolowo Obafemi Awolowo and pardoned him of all crimes by the Lt. Colonel Yakubu Gowon-led Federal Military Government of Nigeria on Friday, August 12, 1966. Chief Awolowo was actually released on Tuesday, August 2, 1966. This official gazette came ten days later after he had met and negotiated with Yakubu Gowon and Murtala Muhammed.

Upon arrival in Lagos, Chief Awolowo was received by Lt. Colonel Murtala Muhammed, who drove him to Dodan Barracks to be received by the Head of State, Lt. Colonel Gowon.

They had a hard time leaving the airport because Alhaja Asabi Abibat Mogaji, the mother of Nigeria's incumbent President, Bola Tinubu, had arranged a mammoth crowd to receive Chief Awolowo.

Chief Awolowo was not released by Lt. Colonel Emeka Ojukwu or Major General Aguiyi-Ironsi. That is a lie by Radio Biafra.

Also, after the January 15, 1966 coup, neither Majors Chukwuma Nzeogwu nor Emmanuel Ifeajuna made any attempt to free Chief Awolowo. In fact, the plotters did not make a phone call, send a signal, or send soldiers to Calabar prison.

It is possible that if Chief Awolowo had not been in prison and had instead been active in politics, he would have been killed by Major Emmanuel Ifeajuna or any of his co-plotters.

Trump effect.

We told them how powerful and American president is but Yorubas said he can't do a thing..... Unlike one architect of suffering, pain and misery agent in Nigeria.

The case has nothing do with konji

If there is no means of ID on him, do the DNA and proper forensic profiling

Nigeria Police has a long way to go in forensic investigations instead they are building public gyms and hosting seminars.

When are they going to enact a law that allows forcefully taking of Igbo businesses in this our Lagos. I don't like how they're prospering here more than us.

Ask your conscience that question. To whom brain is given, sense is expected 😂

One religion says don’t take from them and don’t let them take from you

The other one said take from them but don’t let them take from you.


You can apply sense to answer it now
