Thanx

With all this proverbs he was foolish to declare himself president, as far as im concerned, Abiola is a foolish man

I don't know if they are really his quotes but number 10

10)
Accept what God has given you and make the best use of it

That's the best of them all.

--- the tree that you lean on and cannot sustain you, if it falls on you it will not kill you. MKO Abiola

This Abiola matter on this nairaland will b like big brother Nigeria

Kingpee2:

CaptJeffry:
Has Shonekon died or any bad thing befallen him?
I'm just wondering about that Abiola's second proverb to Shonekon.

He made use of the proverb...that's why he is alive

Nigeria! Where a man who funded the first terrorist organization in the country is celebrated decades later for being a national hero. Someday Shekau could be conferred a national honor too

He was always speaking proverbially. There's another one : He who traded in selling cow meat (nomo) that he said he was not making profits, but he would turn to selling pigeon meat.

LOL. FUNNY YOU

Here's the truth. I lived during the era of most of these people that you mentioned and I saw details of their lives that are not really published in the media today.

The truth is that none of them is a saint and none of them is a devil. They are people like you and they have their good points and their flaws. Some people might like to highlight their good points and some people might like to highlight their flaws, but they have both flaws and good points.

I remember a letter I wrote to a Nairalander before the 2015 election. I said that most of the bad things that were being written about Buhari were untrue and I took the time to debunk them (I could do that easily because I remember his first administration very well), yet I told her that I didn't want Buhari to be president and I outlined the reasons (again, I could do that because I remember his administration very well). The truth is that Buhari has both his good and bad sides.

Once again, I'm a huge fan of both Fela and Abiola, but the truth is that both of them would most likely be in jail if they lived in this era (or if I was president).

Most of us that were adult during Abiola's life knew that he is greta. And his greatness and dispute with Fela does not reduce from Fela's greatness either. Had both of them lived long, they would have reconciled eventually.
In truth, no great man is a saint. No single man is without his blemish. Mahathir the great of Malaysia, who is the father of modern Malaysia and the initiator of " Malaysia Boleh" (Malaysia, We can) slogan is still alive today. He had an epic battle with his deputy prime mister then, Anwar, and set him up for fraud and sodomy. Anwar was jailed and lost all political relevance then. Anwar came out from prison and set up an opposition party. Mahathir left political scene in 2003 or so. Last year, Mahathir came back to politics at 92 years of age and joined Anwar's party, because the prime minister, on his former parties platform, who was his mentee in 2003 has been accused of corruption. To cut it short, Anwar's party won election this year and made Mahathir the prime minister again. But Anwar is still currently in prison on his third spell of conviction on sodomy. Now Mahathir believed Anwar is innocent and has recommended his pardon to the King. Anwar's wife is now the deputy prime minister.

So, moral of the story is that, there is no permanent enemy in politics And saints don't play it either.

But haven said that, great men still exists, notwithstanding their imperfection. Imperfect as he is, Abiola is a great man by all ramification.!

No matter how wide/big a vagina is, it cannot service itself, its the penis that will do justice to it, by slapping the swollen clitoris .

Abiola 1994



Its only one foul smell i can endure, and that's the oozing smell from the vagina

Abiola 1991, not proverb sha but a quote. most noted quote of all time.

Ori e ti daru...

Funnicator:
You people have started again?!

See them trying too hard to paint good, the very same Abiola who hobnobbed with his military friends and financially sponsored IBB coup.

If you seek men to idolize, certainly not one who was so brash, immature, emotional, careless and childish to declare himself President without receiving an ordinary certificate of return from the National Electoral Council.

If he were an honorable man, he would never let emotions take the best of him to declare himself President, as for me. He is never a role model and serves him right because he dined and laughed with the same military he sponsored, only to turn around and be betrayed.

The Yorubas say "when eating with an enemy, use long spoon", can he be a wise leader as to be so careless, reckless and funding military coups? Certainly not.

In the end, he was never a president of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

#proudlyYoruba.

This is most senseless post I have read. Abiola is not in the military and coupists dose not need money because it is a game of death. Please reason before posting

I follow your diary and I see you mention creating threads, finishing threads, remembering things to include etc. I searched all over but can't find the threads. Are they not on Nairaland?
