GJames:
I started reading but it wouldn't finish. I have a question to ask and it goes thus; Why is Abiola called a legend? Did he earn that title by his exemplary deeds or because he won the most peaceful, free and fairest election.
He was a rare philanthropist in Nigeria then. There was a time, long before 1993 (late 80s I think), that he donated 1 million naira each to all universities in Nigeria. His philanthropic gestures didn't discriminate between religions, ethnicities, regions and tribes as he donated freely and regularly to the needy and society.

At a point, he financed and sponsored the national football team in all their engagements.
Nwanyanwu, Nzeribe, Dantata and a few others may have been as rich or richer than him, but none came close to him in his philanthropic gestures. It was the reason he could defeat Bashir Tofa, a core northerner even in the north.

I read one of his biography online the other day, I have to say he was a brilliant man with great vision, second only to Awolowo.
This has to be up there in the most powerful inaugural speech from any polticians in Nigeria. In fact, I had a goosebumps reading this speech, with a realisation Nigeria is still suffering from what he complained about.

Thanks. Great heart he's got. I initially thought it was just for the free and fair election that he got his praise.
