alex_101: Yoruba! Yoruba!! Yoruba!!! When are you oily-soup-eating clowns going to stop licking the smelly ar.ses of ewusa/fulani people. Has is really come to this? I can understand Yoruba's bowing down to the north, but I'm really appalled at Yoruba's becoming spokes-men/spokes-women for a northern terrorist sect like boko haram.
I tire for these folks! How the hell did I end up in thesame country with these people?

When the dungeon called nigeria finally crumble, I will personally advise my new nation's administration to position a naval fleet/military base in the territorial waters of Odua republic, for we cannot afford to trust these people to think/act right .

Ileke-IdI:
You guys are real ediooots.

The man is not pleading on behalf of boko haram. Can you precisely quote him on that?



This is what you assume was a plead?

If you look at him with a neutral mind, you'd understand that he's pleading for you imbecilic Nigerians.

aWhen the USA went to fight "terrorism" in Iraq, how long did it take them? How many lives were lost? Did the USA know who was who? What did Iraq benefit from it?


fools.

crackhouse: Mr man whenever u are trying to protect sb, u must have a reason and to him, that's the reason but what he doesn't know is that, his reason is not a sensible reason and that it doesn't worth listening to. To me, that man is one of the sponsors. When breeze blow, u go see fowl's nyash.

teetee1: walahi, dis man na boko haram, wetin US still dey wait for? drone out all these blood suckers and lets get it over with once n for all!

Beaf:

Words of a fool. Sophisticated people do not blow kids up.
What is really wrong with those who use the phrase, "we are too sophisticated" in Nigeria? Are they sick in the mind?

Was it not you that said Sahara reporters are fake Now you believe them?!!!

[edit]Birth and education

Abdu-Lateef Oladimeji Adegbite was born on 20 March 1933 into a strictly Moslem Egba family in Abeokuta, Ogun State. According to one account, he attended Methodist School, Abeokuta.[2] He says himself that he attended Arabic School, then entered St. Paul’s Primary School in Igbore, Abeokuta in 1942, when he was aged nine. Adegbite obtained a scholarship to attend King's College, Lagos, where he was co-founder and first National president of the Muslim Students' Society of Nigeria, graduating in 1956.[3]
In 1959 the Western Region Premier Chief Obafemi Awolowo awarded him a scholarship to travel to England to study for a Law degree under a plan drafted by Chief F.R.A. Williams. Adegbite attended the University of Southampton, graduating with a B.A. in Law in July 1962. He then studied at the College of Law for Solicitors, Lancaster Gate in London, and then at Gray's Inn (1963–1965).[3] Later he won a Commonwealth Scholarship for post-graduate studies in England.[1] He began his career teaching law at the Moshood Abiola University, Lagos(MAULAG)University of Lagos(UNILAG), holding this position until retiring to go into private practice in September 1976.[3]
[edit]Later career

In 1971 Adegbite was appointed Commissioner for Local Governments and Chieftancy Matters in the old Western Region of Nigeria during the military administration of Brigadier Christopher Oluwole Rotimi. He was then appointed Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of the Western Region in 1973.[1] In October 1976 he founded the legal firm of Lateef Adegbite & Co as the Principal Partner, with main office in Lagos and a branch office in Abeokuta, specializing in Commercial and Corporate Law.[3] The Abeokuta office is in Ago-Oba.[4] He was one of the founders of the Abeokuta Social Club in 1972.[5]
Adegbite was president of the Nigeria Olympic Committee from 1972 to 1985.[2] He was Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of the Governing Council of the University of Maiduguri from 1984 to 1990. He became a member of the Executive Committee of the Lagos State Chamber of Commerce and Industry.[3] He became a Director of Industrial and General Insurance Plc.[6] Adegbite was appointed a Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON).[3] He holds the traditional titles of Seriki of Egbaland and Baba Adinni of Egba Muslims.[1] On 9 March 2011 President Goodluck Jonathan appointed him Chairman of a Presidential Committee on Public Awareness on Security and Civic Responsibilities.[7]
[edit]Muslim leader

At the constituent assembly in 1976, Adegbite argued in favor of introducing Islamic courts of appeal into the southern states of Nigeria, arguing that Muslims had the right to have their affairs judged according to Sharia law.[8] He has stated "Muslims have no other constitution and law apart from what Sharia had laid down. Sharia as a divine law supersedes all other civil and moral laws".[9] He was to support efforts by M.K.O. Abiola to introduce Sharia to the southern states in the early 1990s.[10] He reasserted this position in December 2002 during a period of heightened tension between Christians and Muslims.[11] Adegbite was chairman of the Ogun State Pilgrims Board and a member of the National Pilgrims Board.[2] When Ibrahim Dasuki became Sultan of Sokoto in 1988 and President-General of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA), Adegbite was appointed Secretary-General of the council.[1] Under the leadership of Adegbite and Dasuki the NSCIA, which had been established in 1974, became much more active.[12]
In late 2002 and early 2003, Adegbite was engaged in a public dispute with the Nobel prize winning author Wole Soyinka, who accused Muslim leaders of inciting violence after rioting in Kaduna had led to many people being killed. The origin was opposition by Muslims to staging the Miss World beauty contest in Nigeria. The riots were triggered by what were taken to be blasphemous statements by a Christian newspaper reporter, Isioma Daniel, who wrote that if the Prophet had attended the event he might have picked one of the contestants as a wife.[13] Later the deputy governor of Zamfara State, Mamauda Aliyu Shinkafi, was reported to have said in a public speech that it might be lawful for a Muslim to shed the blood of Isioma Daniel. Adegbite immediately rejected this position, since the journalist was not Muslim and the newspaper had apologised publicly.[14]
Adegbite stated in an October 2003 newspaper article that "the US and their allies should be persuaded to accept that the prevailing international terror would reduce considerably if justice is entrenched in the Middle East. Give the Palestinians back their land, there will no longer [be] platforms for the Osama bin Ladens of this world to thrive. Without justice there can be no peace".[2] When UNESCO arranged a conference on inter-religious dialog in Abuja in December 2003, Adegbite was invited to speak on The role of religious leaders in conflict resolution.[15]

Malawian: Thought they said boko haram wasn't islam and wasn't fighting for islam? How come top islamists are now pleading for them? Doesn't take much to look stupid for some people!
