I pray our leaders get back to their senses ( that's if they even have sense at all) so they can take massive action that will move our country forward. Nigeria is not as bad as you think, our leaders make it so.

Mhen! See the people leading Nigeria....this guy look deranged....and he is a commissioner

I see no hope for Nigeria at all...we are far. Out of all the smart intelligent people in Osun State, this man is the best to be appointed as a commissioner He even sounds like someone on hard drugs, even his dressing looks barbaric, otimu o

IamaNigerianGuy:
Please keep quiet.

That is the great Segun Maiyegun. In his undergraduate days he was even more famous than Sowore.
His resistance to military rule and his mobilization of students in UNILAG ensured that Nigeria never became like North Korea, Pakistan, or Mynamar.
His dressing has nothing to do with his intellect and his contribution to the freedom you enjoy.

The source of hopelessness in Nigeria is from passive people like you who have never marched for freedom, never protested, never confronted government, probably never even voted - yet want change.

Oh I see, didn't know about him, and haven't heard much about him though...he has done well, my bad...apologies

IamaNigerianGuy:
Apology accepted.

People died for Nigeria in 1989 protesting against SAP and in 1993 protesting for the June 12 mandate. It was not a joke. It was war.

Leaders? No, I disagree. The people, I mean Nigerians made it so. A people get a leader that reflects their core values and beliefs. A pigeon can't give birth to a duck. Give Nigerians a good leader, they will chase him out of office. Good people are not appreciated here. Only lousy, noise making liars readily win the hearts of my people. It's one thing I have come to realise about us.

Who is this one again?
Why do we like causing confusion and distracting ourselves on things you have no absolute control on?

geometricaxis:
he has had his 5 minutes in the limelight, he is inconsequential and will soon be forgotten.

tellodds:
It's much more complex than that.

According to what we know and facts collaborated by both SDP leaders and Abiola's close associates,

1. Abiola encouraged Abacha to seize power and dismantle the ING headed by Shonekan and thereafter hand power over to him (Abacha and ABIOLA werent strangers. This was the third time they were involved in planning a coup. The other two being 1983 and 1985).

2. Kingibe, Ebenezer Babatope and one other man from The MKO Campaign organization were nominated into The new (initially agreed to be temporal) Abacha cabinet by Abiola.

MKO only started crying wolf about Abacha when it finally dawned on him that Sani didn't plan on leaving Aso Rock anytime soon.

Paperwhite:
That is a true fact! Babagana Kingibe is the baddest traitor of the June-12 struggle.

Red Drum!!!

Wow!

Memories

I wonder how many people here will be old enough to know Red Drum (Olusegun Maiyegun).

gazilion:
Still thank God for him. He spoke faultless English and is a PHD holder!
Segun Mayegun has always been on dreadlocks since his days in Unilag. A radical to the core!!
I think he was a one time SUG president and ferociously fought for democracy and students rights.
I schooled in UNN but still remember he made his marks in Unionism in the early 90's before Sowore won the SUG president in Unilag.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Whether your story is true or not does not invalidate my statement. When Nigerians marched for June 12, they did not march for Abiola as a person, but for the restoration of the electoral mandate and to establish the supremacy of the people.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Please keep quiet.

That is the great Segun Maiyegun. In his undergraduate days he was even more famous than Sowore.
His resistance to military rule and his mobilization of students in UNILAG ensured that Nigeria never became like North Korea, Pakistan, or Myanmar. This is a man who along with others mobilized thousands of Nigerians to confront the military - and won. Nowadays, you guys cannot even resist your lecturers who make you kneel down in lecture theaters like primary school kids.

His dressing has nothing to do with his intellect and his contribution to the freedom you enjoy.

The source of hopelessness in Nigeria is from passive people like you who have never marched for freedom, never protested, never confronted government, probably never even voted - yet want a better Nigeria.

Yankiss:
You are 100% correct. Sowore learnt under him. The Great Olusegun Maiyegun aka Red Drum. His political vision of Redrumism was well respcted in Unilag then. You seem an Akokite?
