Delafruita: june 12 is not all we nigerians know about abiola.it isnt what gave him national prominence.abiola had for long been active in the public sphere.he is believed to have sponsored the coup that brought babangida to power.he alienated himself from the power brokers in the southwest when he aligned with the shagari led NPN.not only that,his newspaper was used to openly criticise and ridicule the opposition notably the likes of baba awo.abiola was never in the opposition and in my opinion was made into a matyr by june 12.a lot of people dont remember the underlying factors that led to the emergence of abiola.ordinarily,abiola would never have been a candidate and even if he became one,wouldnt have won if the field was thrown open.people say june 12 is the freest and fairest ever but those people wont say that the process that led to the election was the most undemocratic ever.it was as if babangida wrote a script that had to be followed.first he barred a long list of people from contesting or even joining political parties.then he insisted only two parties be allowed.i have nothing against abiola or his legacy in charity,sports or even polygamy but when it comes to june 12,its more about what the day meant than man.if abiola were alive in this democratic dispensation,he'd be one of the biggest PDP bigots.

Very very Objective!

ponana: It's that time of the year again when the Nigeria as whole reminisce on the first democratic election in the country. This is the major event that brought M.K.O into the spotlight and it also serves as the only story that we as Nigerians all know and accept as being the memories we have of Chief M.K.O.

But asides from June 12, whatelse do we know about this man? A lot of stories and hearsay have being passed around concerning the acclaimed winner of the June 12 1993 presidential election winner. Please nobody should get me wrong, I am not trying to discredit or say bad stuffs about the Late M.K.O but I feel we really need to know who this man is. Was he like's of them Gandi, Nkrumah, Mandela, Martin Luther and other people who fought for the people selflessly or was he someone who while fighting for his pocket got caught up in the people's affair and decided to help or was he a bad guy trying to turn a new leave.

You guys should please avoid insulting the man and say the facts about what you know about Chief M.K.O so that we can ascertain " the labours of our hero past" (according to the national anthem) and maybe get a reason or two to tell the Unilag student to stop protesting.

@Bolded: he is the chairman of ITT and believe Fela, a saddist philosopher who never like anyone in government/power so he sang a song referring to Moshood (MKO) as International Thief Thief meaning he's no saint/different. I also think MKO should have been alive if he was believing in the power of many who gave him the mandate (Nigerians); My though was he believed Nigerians and Yorubas especially will press for his release if arrested but that never happened! Probably if we Yorubas stood up and the Biafrans rose up probably a revolution might happened then and maybe issues like BH bombing/terrorism wouldn't ave been happening now!
Conclusively, i remembered the mammoth crowd @ MMA shortly after the election welcoming MKO and chanting praises song so as to declear himself, he did and was left to his faith!
Note: as long as NL is a public forum, i'm entitled to my opinion but you can criticize wisely without any insult!

Oya nau where's d youtube link cos i'm sure sey TB Joshua for don c say d man go sick!

I used to deal with LR and i've been using Lite-forex since 4yrs now but i'm thinking abt Alpari-Uk but like other brokers they don't accept Nigerians to make deposit via Master Credit cards which leaves my faith to Alpari-Lagos but you know Naija now...i no wan get scamed. Pls can someone tell me abt Alpari-Lagos in funding.

Only in Nigeria!
Last week: Auto crash and Air crash.
This week: Boko haram Bombing and Celeb kidnap.

Huh

Exponental: Do u mind if i sponsor d bullets u will use. This is one of d reasons i detest BH, cos dey attack innocents n let d govts enjoy.

I wouldn't mind if u sponsor on bullets but seeing there's nothing worst seeing people hailing these thieves in public fuctions,it would have been better had it been they are attacked, lynched or given a decent beating.
I would av love it if Boko Haram wage war/Jihad on corruption, i'm sure we'll all see rapid and speedy improvement.

No one but Ex-Majority leader in the last republic... He represented Oyo central and the only thing he does for his constituency is d building of a single building containing 4 classrooms and a hand driven borehole.
I went to the area recently and felt bad with the deplorable state of the environment, ward and home-town of a majority leader who represented the constituency for 8yrs!

Assuming killing is legal and not a sin and we have "World Killing Day and today is one, who will you kill.
Pls state your reason.

damilola15: I'd buy it if I were Toyin Saraki, instead of carrying 5 smart phones.

Words!

I'm sure there wouldn't be much comment and media (Western Media) will not broadcast it but we would have seen many comments/headlines on both local and intl tv stations hadn't been the news is about suicide bombing, kidnapping, NURTW clash, drug baron busted and d like.
Its high time we shun Tribalism. We all are Nigerians Whether we like it or not untill d country ceased to exist!

Before nko!
...thank God for Ipod.

hugooh42: The boys in the photos look more like area boys on rampage on Oshodi streets.The girls,like ewedu sellers.I think they deserve that name "MAU."

guy if MALU babes catch you, you'll be seriously dealt with lolzzz

With all this protest, are the student saying he dosen't worth it or we've all simply forgotten that this guy could have been the first truely democratically elected president? Though president Goodluck should have considered the fact that he (MKO) has been immortalised long time ago in his state with a semi-standard stadium and a School, why this again without even taking it thru due process?
The student should just take heart, though the name sounds un-sexy Mashood Abiola Lagos University... MALU.

August 5th last yrs was the last time we had electricity, it rained very brief one and The light was taken, 2weeks after we heard a maintenance was going on till January 9th...mind u the eediots keep bringing bills for non-prepaid users so on the D day of Subsidy removal, guys swung into action, busted the Nepa undertaking loot and set ablaze two big Massive Transformer... Since then we've been on our Own!

Why not named it after Lateef Salako a.k.a Elewe-Omo? Lolzzz

I'm not surprised at all.

Guy, Go get a Gun!

Jonathan, if you must use goodluck to run this country smoothly, you need patience!

ogbeche77: Am even thinking we need a Chinese President, FEC, governors and local govt chairmen... Maybe that will do the magic..lollz

all i can do is to laff it off.

OAU...

I wish him HML.

DLR

ZUBY77: Too much weed wont let you quit boasting. I was at Asaba airport today and they told me they dont have flights to Lagos this evening unless you are flying from Asaba directly to Dubai.

There are so many matured silent Millionaires in the House and i don't personally look at someone boasting with local air ticket flight, i'll rather do as if i don't see a thing. Try that next time.

honeric01: I am done for the week, silver gave me what i wanted.. Have a nice weekend peeps.

Good one. After a fulfilling weekdays trading, the remaining is to have a fun-filled weekend.

russy: these usernames fear me.ooooooo okija,opoki..............God help us.
.pls if u are successful with your card transfer let the house know

My broda all na same..,this d only section where there's no tribalism/ethnical segregation in the whole of NL... Abi u no gree!
I'll definately let the house know.

I recently mailed Alpari about making deposit via GTbank VISA Credit card (USD) attached to my dom a/c, they replied telling me i can go ahead but we all know for so long that most brokers don't accept Naija CC, i've also been to GT telling them exactly what i wanted to do and dey say there's no problem. This's virtually d first time i'm depositing via CC, i just want to be sure and seek advice from Big Dog in da house.

Yinkagbo: @opoki,gone are those days u r talking about.presently thr is over 7 banks in oau,which includes zenith,oceanic,gtb,wema,ecobank,skye,uba,standardchattered and firstbank.....oau is indeed the king of universities.
But in my school,which is lautech,we av just two banks....

sometimes around 2010 i came in from Ondo through road 7 and noticed First Bank just built Lecture theatre... I took time to observe the LT and felt like going inside to have a feeling of being a student once more.
