Abiola was a confused rich man who stole his way to the top. I am very surprised that some empty headed people are trying to remember this criminal who was part of the people that stole our collective wealth with the same military that killed him. The same fate awaits Dangote, Otedola, Jimoh Ibrahim and Tinubu.

I read the article like 9 times and something was missing, aha! The name of Chinua Achebe on that list. The write up immediately lost its taste. ~tears the useless article to pieces and throws it into the trash can where it belongs~

T8ksy: Of course! And when s.hiiit.e hits the fan, the man ran off in the middle of the night dressed like

an ugly bearded tranny leaving his kinsmen at the mercy of the enemy. Some man!

The definition of bravery is standing up and fighting, the Ikemba fought like a man and will forever be remembered as a hero who was given a presidential burial. MKO was beaten to death by IBB whom Al mustafa allowed in though the back door.

;Dfly to saut aflika and find out, if you dont have air tichets, fly like a winch

T8ksy: Yeah? Like the misadventure Banjo conducted in the mid west region.

Yeah? Like the misadventure Banjo carried out in Benin.

T8ksy: oh yeah? So what the hell was Ojukwu's biafra Liberation force doing in Ore en route to Lagos?

I don't remember anyone sending them an invite.

That was a misadventure carried out by Banjo who chose to disobey the Ikemba, Banjo got a bullet for his disobeying orders.

oluagness: Our Muslim brothers know the fact but hard for them to say the truth. Please here him … Then he started singing, ‘Nearer my God to thee, nearer to thee.’ He used to sing Christian songs. After signing the song in English, he started singing it in Yoruba. Good thing is that some of them change at point of death.

Fear of hell fire

T8ksy: Remind me who was playing boy boy to Tafawa Balewa in the first republic......... and the 2nd.

Ok, Awo didn't defeated the ibos but at least he taught you all a lesson never to mess with yorubas, again.

Hehehehehe, Igbos have never tried to mess with yorubas, its the yorubas that are afraid and running away from their shadows everyday. Till they drink poison while nobody was chasing them........

Nigeria is in a deep mess, and whenever they try to think of a solution and come face to face with what Ojukwu fought for, they will forget their thought, they are trying to sweep the issues under the carpet but each time a bomb explodes, they will remember the warnings. The words of the Ikemba will always hang in the air, haunting the whole of the bad people in this country, the Ikemba was right afterall........

Foreign technical adviser needed?

dayokanu: You mean a coward who wore women clothes and fled warfront is better than a man who died fighting for his mandate?

or the coward who was caught and flogged by small boys, abandoned for a long time in an underground cell and fed with crumbs from abacha table?

CFCfan: It shouldn't necesarily be split along religious lines. Their ideologies could be different.

It is a 'take it or leave it' fact.

CFCfan: Would it lead to a more stable polity?

CHRISTANS AND MUSLIMS

dayokanu: You mean the warlord who was leading an army and fled warfront

much better than the 'aare ona kakanfo' who never owned a gun in his entire life.

dayokanu: He should fight and run away to Abidjan like the legendary warlord

the legendary warlord fought, and held this goddammed contraption called naijeriya down for the better part of 3 years. He is better than those that died without shooting a bullet because they were scared for thier lives, and they still died like common pick pockets.

ajanaku2: Most people aren't even aware that this Philanthropist called Abiola had a First class honours degree in Accountancy from the University of Glasgow, Scotland; a distinction from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland...

He was also a Member of My institute, the number one professional body in Nigeria; the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN)...

He was indeed an Omowe!

He also looted state funds with ITT, and the rest of his padi padi business

oam4j, afam and other moderators,can you please fry three eggs for me? place it in a loaf sandwich and add a rich plaster of butter and some fresh tomato with small salad cream and vegetables, bring it up to my suite as I browse seun's forum. Merci.

[quote author=Pvt. Parts]He contested the highest office in the most civil way through elections and was robbed by a thieving despot who held sway among the Nations military and security apparatus. Would you have preferred a scenario where a civil war will break out? A civil war which may still have been on going till this day?
Abiola did not chicken out. He did the only best thing by immortalizing the struggle for democracy through his own incarceration and death.
It is the NADECO elements who betrayed him at the end that must be judged. The same elements who rode on Abiola's name in 1999 but have since substituted it with theirs. The same elements of mistrust and hypocrisy who fanned the embers of student revolt against the renaming of the University of Lagos to Moshood Abiola University in order to score cheap popularity. These same elements are so shrouded in their own hypocrisy also when it comes to the issue of fuel subsidy. They actively financed the occupy movement to stop any reform in the downstream sector but were the first to demand revenue accrued from partial subsidy lifting. They strongly refused to a pay wage in their state civil service in order to squeeze as much cash from their respective states to their own pockets. The so-called progressives.[/quote]He contested and won, and then chikened out. He should have fought for it. He was pushed aside because they know he will never fight, and they were right afterall. NADECO betrayed him, of course they have betrayal in their genes, check your history books.

hardbody: We knew from history and antecedents that our hosts were lilly livered and would not fight so we did not go home. In truth though we took precautionary measures including servicing and fueling all the cars in our house in the event of eventuality. We were aiming for Ghana as a first stop in the event of any eventuality. True to type our cowardly hosts sacrificed their brother on te platter of money and refused to fight for their right believing the igbos will champion the fight. Otele people

Those people will never fight for anything, owambe party has finished their guts.

This guy disappointed the keen political observers in this country when he chose to die of common pneumonia in the cell like a common criminal. For crying out loud this guy was the richest guy in Nigeria, he had the cash and the connections to import Tanks and war planes and stage a hefty free for all fight against the spineless Abacha and his cronies. But like a coward he chickened out and instead allowed himself to be arrested without a fight, he did not even have time to throw a common knockout! and come see the kain beating he recieved from the hands of small boys hausa recruits army who panel beat him for days, almost skinning him with their koboko whips. This guy disappointed the nation big time.

D Merciful: The assertion by Wole Soyinka that June 12 is the real democracy day has triggered a lot of controversies. The one that declared may 29 democracy day many would believe, would have been more likely to declare June 12 instead of May 29 yet he did not! People who many believed would support the naming of an iconic institution after an iconic man (MKO) just like Nnamdi Azikiwe, vehemently refuse the move by GEJ and yet wants him to declare June 12 as democracy day in honour of MKO is difficult to understand.
Guys, tell me if its not a gross irony!

3ace: Maybe it's because May 29th is the latest Handover date for democratically elected president. But as for me, I'm indifferent on the issue. I appreciate the fact that Chief M.K.O Abiola sacrificed his life while trying to rescue us from the hands if the Military but emmm....infact, this whole argument complex jare. But one thing I know is that M.K.O would be glad if this country becomes great again. So let's work together and keep his dream alive.

MKO would have been the worst president in this god forsaken country.

I dont want anybody to come here tomorrow to talk about June 12. june 12 was a big disgrace, that was the day a wealthy citizen of Nigeria won a presidential election and surrendered his mandate because of fear. This man could have helped this country by terminating military rule but he chickened out and died in detention. It was such a big shame.

The man should be flogged for abandoning his mandate.
