Very articulate and have a good view to life. I like people like him who are not defined by material things and have no sense of entitlement.

Ee yaa he escaped death 4times and that means he's destined to be great so as a result he now want to become our president?. Pls can sb tell him that we escape deaths on daily basis plying our nigeria roads only not to talk of the free flying bullets from the police.
I guess that's why he wanted to be president to fix the problem, so that people don't have to go through such horrible experience ever again.

This is the kind of leaders we need in this country and unknown to many, this guy has an energy company generating about 500 megawatt electricity for the country without any kobo from government.

Nice. At least he has a head on his shoulder. I sometimes feel some of these guys can make more impact in the legislature or even as state governors. I hope we can have people like him at state levels too. More so, what we need mainly from Federal government is direction.

Olawepo was a huge students leader in the 80s and PRO of NANS. He studied at UNILAG when they were real thorns in the flesh of any Nigerian government. The seat of Nigeria's government was Dodan Barracks in Lagos and it was always big trouble and embarrassment for the government whenever UNILAG students step out of their Lagoon side campus in protest. The Amnesty International declared him a '’Prisoner of conscience'’ in 1989 after his arrest alongside 3 other UNILAG students during an uprising against Babangida's government.

At the end of the uprising, over two hundred people were estimated to have been killed by the police, a huge number wounded and some student activists detained. Olawepo was clamped into detention for four months in solitary confinement under the Detention of Persons Decree No. 2 of 1984 as amended. It was detention without trial. He was released after an epic legal battle led by his counsel, the late President of the Nigeria Bar Association Alao Aka-Bashorun, and an international campaign co-ordinated by the International Union of Students, World Federation of Democratic Youth, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. His case and that of Gbenga Komolafe adjudicated on by Justice Tajudeen Odunowo became the Loco classicos in Nigeria's legal history as it was the first time a court would order the release of a detainee under the draconian Detention of Persons Security Decree No.2.
