Chief M.K.O Abiola,some will say is a philantropist, a politician, a business mugul etc. Who is highly celebrated due to his past antecedents. BUT, i was told by different people that this man was in a verge of islamizing Nigeria,and to buttress this fact he sunk a ship load of BIBLES making its way to Nigeria. IS THIS REALLY TRUE ? 1 Like |

Mr.chippychappy: the journalists claims in the article don't really prove that it's true. I doub't he will have had the authority to sink ships since someone will have been shipping those bibles (at a very high cost) to make some sort of profit. We should at least know where the reported ships are or have heard the owner of the ships complain? 4 Likes |

I do not believe this story. It makes very little sense. Bashorun MKO needs not sink bibles to prove any point. He was never a religious fanatic, rather he was a philanthropist. Having said that, how does sinking ship load of bible affect christianity in Nigeria? How many people read them anyway? and of those who read them, how many understand? and of those who understand, how many make use of them? Do most Nigerian christians not worship MOGs and money? 27 Likes |

This thread is the handi-work of tree-biters who get stomach-ache over anything Yoruba in Nigeria. They have to understand that the time is past when Yorubas will, in the spirit of togetherness, accept some contemptuous behavior from them. From now on we must impose our will on their primitive, tribalistic, oblongota. ola_pluto: I do not believe this story. It makes very little sense.

An entirely false story. Chief MKO Abiola worked hard to promote religious tolerance in Nigeria. He was proud of the fact that he was educated at a missionary school (Baptist Boys High School) and would often quote from the Bible, the Quoran and proverbs in his speeches. He donated a lot of money to churches and mosques. While in detention in Abuja, he requested for and was given a Bible, a Quoran and sheets of paper to write on. People should remember that Chief Abiola was involved in partisan politics in the early 1980s and early 1990s. When you get involved in partisan politics in Nigeria, your opponents would spread rumours/negative stories about you in order to discredit you (the Babangida and Abacha regimes actively spread propaganda against him). 11 Likes 2 Shares |

Major Hamza Al-Mustapha had testified tha Chief Abiola requested for and was given a Koran, Bible and writing materials. Below is an excerpt from Zadok's testimony at the Oputa Panel (he explained how Abiola died). "The Chief Security Officer Major hamza Al-Mustapha ordered me to give Chief MKO Abiola Koran and Bible for reading and I used to collect some money from the Chief Security Officer to buy some newspapers and magazines for the chief to read, and also give the chief some plain sheets for anything he might wish to write http://www.nigeriamasterweb.com/nmwpg1abioladeath.htm 4 Likes 1 Share |

Go through the wikipedia article on Chief Abiola and read how he donated towards construction of 121 mosques and churches. You'll also see a picture of Chief Abiola and the head of the Bulgarian Church. Read below. Moshood Abiola sprang to national and international prominence as a result of his philanthropic activities. The Congressional Black Caucus of the United States of America issued the following tribute to Moshood Abiola:[6] 5 Likes 1 Share |

People should remember that, and ask themselves why Chief Abiola won votes from right around the country. Christians voted for him, even though he and his running mate were muslims. He defeated Tofa in Tofa's own constituency. He won in the east, even though Chief Iwuanyanwu was campaigning against him. This was the first time the whole country supported a candidate, regardless of his ethnic or religious affiliation. This would not have happened if he was an ethnic or religious bigot. Yet, afterwards, the military government's propaganda machine went into overdrive (remember that all the broadcast stations at that time were government owned and newspapers were regularly being shutdown). 16 Likes |

Part of the propaganda broadcast (and planted in newspapers). 1) Do not go out on the streets and protest. While you and your children will be arrested or killed for protesting, the politicians' (Abiola) children will be at home and they can easily flee the country while you rot in jail (this was partially successful). 2) Why should you protest against the annulment of June 12 elections? SDP elections were annulled and life continued. President Shagari was overthrown and life continued. What's so special about June 12? (This failed) 3) How can you support a man with so many wives. Christianity prescribes that you should have only one wife, while Islam prescribes 4 wives. (This was partially successful). 4) The June 12 struggle is a Yoruba struggle. How come they didn't complain in 1983 and 1992? (This was very successful. Chief Abiola won elections across the country, but he was in exile by the time the government spun this angle. Yoruba politicians fell for this trick and reacted by saying the country was not fair to yorubas and was victimising yorubas. They proclaimed that northerners wanted to rule for ever. People across the rest of the country were shocked! We stood in the sun and rain to vote for Abiola. We protested against the annulment. However, if you believe we are not being fair to you and that it's a yoruba struggle, then you can carry on the fight alone. This was how the military divided the June 12 campaigners). 5) How can you elect a muslim - muslim ticket? They will islamise Nigeria (this failed). 6) Chief Abiola is corrupt. How can you elect a corrupt man as president? (This was partially successful) 2 Likes |

From what i saw in that article, the story is very likely to be true but then, what does it matter? M.K.O. Abiola was an honorable man who put food on the tables of millions and sent thousands to school and even if he burnt a billion Bibles, i'll always revere him, my being a Christian notwithstanding. If only our present politicians will borrow a leaf from him, you would all probably be too advanced to be making storms over the burning of religious war manuals. 1 Like |
