JUNE 12, 1993: THE MOST INFAMOUS DATE IN NIGERIA POLITICAL HISTORY, THE HOROSCOPE BEHIND IT'S RELEVANCE ON THE NATION POLITICAL TERRAIN AND ITS' UNIQUENESS TO THE S.U.G. UNIBEN SECRETARIAT (JUNE 12 BUILDING) BY HON. JATTO JOHN OVIE.

June 12, 1993 to this moment seem just like yesterday, but it is not just another calendar day in Nigeria; because in progressive ideological circles, today is regarded as the authentic ‘Democracy Day’ as against the ‘May 29′ popularly celebrated by the Federal Govt of Nigeria.

Here are twelve important historic facts you need to know about this date according to Ajomole Helen of Naij.com;

1. The date is celebrated in honour of an annulled presidential election in June 12, 1993. Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola, often referred to as M. K. O. Abiola, ran for the presidency in 1993, and is widely regarded as the presumed winner of the inconclusive election since no official final results were announced till date.

2. The election was annulled by Ibrahim Babangida, because of alleged evidence that they were corrupt and unfair, a development that ushered in a political crisis that led to General Sani Abacha seizing power later that year.

3. In 1994, Abiola declared himself the lawful president of Nigeria in the Epetedo area of Lagos island, an area mainly dominated by Lagos Indigenes, after he returned from a trip to solicit the support of the international community for his mandate. After declaring himself president he was declared wanted and was accused of treason and arrested on the orders of military President General Sani Abacha, who sent 200 police vehicles to bring him into custody.

4. Moshood Abiola was detained for four years, largely in solitary confinement with a Bible, Qur'an, and fourteen guards as companions.

5. Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua is said to have predicted the annulment to Abiola and warned him against contesting.

6. Abiola's involvement in politics started at a young age. He was  19-years-old when he joined the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC) in 1979.

7. For the June 12, 1993 presidential elections, Abiola's running mate was Baba Gana Kingibe. He overwhelmingly defeated his rival, Bashir Tofa of the National Republican Convention.

8. Abiola died on July 7, 1998 on the day he was due to be released from incarceration under suspicious circumstances shortly after the death of General Abacha. The official autopsy stated that Abiola died of natural causes, but Abacha's chief security officer, Al-Mustapha alleged he was beaten to death.

9. MKO Abiola used a "Hope" campaign which President Barrack Obama also used. Many people may have paid attention to the word "Hope" being used to convey a message of possibility during Obama's 2008 election in America, but 15 years before then in Africa's most populous nation, MKO Abiola became a rallying figure for many Nigerians with his "Hope" campaign.

10. MKO Abiola died for the June 12 mandate but he was not the only June 12 casualty as General Sani Abacha also died in mysterious circumstances on June 8, 1998.

11. Chief MKO Abiola's memory is celebrated in Nigeria and internationally. June 12, remains a public holiday in Lagos and Ogun states and other All progressive Congress party states. MKO Abiola Stadium was named in his honour.

12. The election was declared Nigeria's freest and fairest presidential election by national and international observers, with Abiola even winning in his Northern opponent's home state.

June 12 is thus a day to remember chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola as well as other democracy martyrs.


IT'S UNIQUENESS WITH THE SUG UNIBEN SECRETARIAT (JUNE 12).

The Union secretariat cannot be written off history to this infamous date (June 12, 1993), because after the annulment of 1993 election, series and chains of events played out. To bring clarity to this subject matter, I have to crave your indulgence to buttress on that fact that the informations at my disposal were used to create this piece.

The June 12 Secretariat (Building) was originally called "The Nelson Mandela Building" named after the iconic South African legend late Nelson Mandela, before the completed building was commissioned by the then President-elect himself, Bashorun MKO Abiola on 27th, October 1993 and was renamed to the June 12 Building.

I imagined MKO Abiola never predicted that in four (4) months and 14 days after the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election to October 27, 1993, he would be coming to the great University Of Benin to grace the podium by honouring the Union request to commission the first ever completed SUG building secretariat.

The Nelson Mandela Building was later renamed to "The William Ubong Secretariat" in honor of the most epitomized SUG Secretary General, 1997 in person of late comr. William Ubong of Blessed memory.

MKO Abiola fame waxed stronger and spread across the country. Later that same year 1993, June 12 became a common and household name and even had an effect on students of tertiary institutions amidst nationwide protests.

June 12 became one of the most infamous date in Nigeria political history and up till this day, it's been celebrated nationwide and internationally, some even refer to it as the "true democracy day", we still savour this moment to call our Union secretariat, "June 12 Building" till date.


HOW CAN WE FORGET THE TRAUMA OF THAT PERIOD ?

According to one of my sources, it was said that during the presidential debate in 1993, Abiola spoke to Nigerians and answered their questions on what his plans are and how he will help Nigeria to become great. June 12, 1993 came with a manifesto and programs of hope. That is why it is sad that we didn't experience the reign of Abiola.

A mandate similar to what Abiola got in 1993 and the hopes and confidence that came with it are necessary ingredients for growth and development of Nigeria. I don't think anybody can rule Nigeria successfully without a mandate similar to that which Abiola obtained in 1993. The mandate cut across religion, regions and tribes. It was a universal mandate, made in Nigeria.

It will also be impossible for anyone to lead Nigeria and make meaningful progress without a manifesto of hope and programs that are well planned and thought through.

The June 12, 1993 election had represented for Nigeria a life-time opportunity for national unity. The elections defied religious considerations to produce a Muslim president and vice president both men having received an overwhelming mandate of all Nigerians. The annulment of the exercise unleashed unsavoury events that the country is yet to recover from till today.

The transition programme did not only gulp an estimated N40 billion of our national resources, it also led to authoritarian resurgence, cost lives of many Nigerians including Chief MKO Abiola and his wife, Kudirat, Chief Alfred Rewane among others. Besides, many elder statesmen and national icons were forced into exile.

In conclusion, It is quite unfortunate and pathetic that barely 24 years after; villains, who ought to be regretfully examining their consciences in some penitentiary still have the audacity to rewrite our history before the actors, many of whom are still alive and even leading. It speaks to the damage that has been done to Nigeria's history. Certainly, an awakening to the nation's history in the academia and in the consciousness of all Nigerians is the only answer to such revisionism.

Not bashing anybody, I'm travelling now from kaduna to Benin and I just feel like writing before we move.

1. The Driver
Have you ever wondered that the driver is always invisible until the bus wants to kick off. I'm very curious of drivers, I always try my possible best to know who will be wheeling me on a far journey. To be honest I'm sometimes disappointed when I don't see the kind of taste of driver I want.

2.The preacher
The set of persons made this list because you will always see them at bus parks and they tend to share the Word of God with passengers before moving, while some will also demand for some kind of offering after preaching.. God help us!

3. The loaders
You will always notice their presence when they start arranging and loading passengers loads and luggage in the bus. They can charge!! Just this morning, one of them looked at my luggage and next thing he told me #800, I screamed wtf... After paying #4500 for TP!!

5. The toasters
Na wa o, this kind of people, even at the bus Park you will always notice them trying to establish convo with anything in skirt, I don't blame them, they lack taste in ladies.

6. The Quiet ones
They don't talk at all. You will see them sitting down quietly, and they detest noise. A guy almost slapped one loquacious lady this morning simply because she was making noise beside him

7. Please nairalanders add your own...
I wish myself and everyone travelling this week God's safety and protection on the highway in Jesus Name. Amen.

Boarding a church bus if the distance from your home to church is far could be intriguing if you noticed these set of people.


1. The Driver : he never fails to disappoint, in this scenario when you enter the bus early he would be playing sometimes worldly music, but as soon the bus is getting filled up; He changes tactics and start playing gospel messages or music.....smh

2.The Bus conductor : In my church, we call them the 'pilot' . The set of persons will follow a church bus too and fro to church, they are responsible for calling out to members and church invitees at the buses top immediately before take off... The amazing thing about them is that they don't attend service at all.....na wa o!! Sha people dey go church for their own reason!

3. The Overzealous : I give them these name because they always like to show that they are "the real Christians". When they enter the bus, they will lead in an intercession of prayers and praises.. As if we on the bus haven't prayed that morning, or na play we wan go play for church!!

4. The Hypocrites : you will notice them when they enter the bus, they would first sit comfortably next thing they would bring out their phone and start playing gospel music/messages. The annoying part is that, it will be on speaker disturbing others in the bus.. Did I just say disturb? God forgive me o!! But these person's are so annoying.. The funny thing is that after that period in the bus, the next time you will see them playing those Playlists will be the next Sunday again..... God dey soak their cane for hot groundnut oil!!

5.The Attention seekers : they always like flaunting their clothes and trying to catch the attention of everyone in the bus. You will sounds of shoes kicking on the floor of the bus, must we notice you?? For inside Bus again?? They are the same type of people that disturb members in the church when coming into the church, some have no dress sense but always want to be noticed.


6. The Silent Ones: the set of people always keep mute amidst all the disturbances and distractions. Even if their balls is on fire, you would never see them talk, I'm one of them. We do what brings us to church which is serving God.

7. Please feel free to add yours!!

Cool

Last month I went to see a nurse in one of the private owned hospitals in ma neighborhood, after waiting for my turn I proceeded to see the nurse. in the medically decorated office sat a lady in her early thirties whom I assumed to be the nurse in charge.
Good morning ma'am I greeted humbly,I think a sickness has strucked ma penis.
Hmmmm sounds strange,Can I see it?? She asked.
Promise me you won't laugh at what you see '' I said,loosing ma belt.
"Of course I won't laugh"' said the nurse. "I'm a professional. In over 20 years I'v never laughed at a patient.
”Ok then," I said, and proceeded to drop my trousers, revealing d smallest male part the nurse had ever seen. In length & Width was almost identical to an AAA tiger battery. Unable 2 control herself, d nurse tried 2 stop a giggle, but it jst came out. Feelin vry badly dat she'd laughed @ my private part, she composed hersef as well she could.
"I'm so sorry", she said, "I don't knw wat came over me. On my honor as a nurse n lady, I promise dat won't happen again. Nw, tell me, wat seems to be the prblem?"

"Its swollen", I reply'd.

She practically ran outta d room.
