The Ikemba of Nnewi, Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu has advised the head of the military junta General Sani Abacha to deal with Chief M.K.O. Abiola".

According to him, Chief Abiola was guilty of treason when he not only invited foreign sanctions against Nigeria but when he also declared himself president and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Chief Ojukwu who was speaking in Kaduna over the weekend as a guest speaker at the launching of a book titled “Nigeria - The State of the Nation and Windfall”, published by Arewa House described the pan-Nigeria mandate of June 12 last year as "an apparition."

By his call, Ojukwu is asking Abacha to make Abiola to face the ultimate penalty for treason, which is death.

He said "June 12 is not real, there is nothing like it.

God is very wonderful.

Ojukwu mentioned two things in his message to Abacha, he said “Abiola declared himself GCFR”, then said “Nothing like June 12”.

Today, Abiola has GCFR to his name and June 12 is a national holiday.

Even tho the “man died”, his legacy still survived.

Their hatred towards Yoruba no be today. Some children thought everything started because of 2015 election or 2023 election.

As God will catch them, if they never reach SW, they can never do anything. Is God of SW not a wonderful God?

Where are the “3 million” buried? Do you know what is called 3 million corpse? Did you fail mathematics in school?

And what usually happens in a “war”? How many civilians perished in the First World War?

In war, do you serve salad to your enemies or you serve them with death and destruction until they surrender?

Going by what Ojukwu said, Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa and a lot of Obidients and Ipob apologists should be charged for treason and hanged. I can't count the number of Igbos that have called for sanctions against Nigeria simply because Peter Obi lost an election he obviously cannot win no matter the circumstances. Nnamdi Kanu without any election has severally declared himself the President and leader of Biafra Republic. Simon Ekpa named himself Prime Minister of Biafra. They even went ahead to form military force and security service outfit.

The problem with folks from the SE, whether young or old is that they don't think before talking and acting. They are too consumed with whatever they think they are and as a result, are too myopic to see the bigger picture. Ojukwu was foolish as a young man and was still very foolish as an adult. Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa both had the opportunity of learning from Ojukwu's foolishness but they still opted to follow the same foolish path. The so called Obidients are not the same. Like someone said on twitter, "Omode go, agba go lafi da ile Ibo". He may not be wrong after all.

Hanging him … was an understatement..

Abiola was supposed to be hanged by the balls ..

For a lot of crime against government of countries , religion. And humanity


Yoruba should never change the Abiola narrative

Abiola was an evil man … a human soaked with dirty mind and blood of innocents

God still served him his punishing..

He deserved all he got and more ..

No one has cheated nature . And no human will do that

Th military don’t have remorse for that … they’re happy they did ..

African countries are happy he died ..

And so it is

Maybe you were too young to know the man Abiola

His atrocities made him couldn’t stand his Juniors.. and he chose to go rats heaven..

Yoruba people think say we don’t forget what and times we lived through… and they’re beginning to rewrite the history of this humans and repaint their pictures to suit their narratives for their future generation

The systematically cleared history from schools ..

Tomorrow this same people will write heaven on earth on how Tinubu made Nigeria and how Wike developed Abuja


Nigerians are not fooled

Let them keep unleashing their propaganda on their people

WHEN they couldn’t chNge the narratives of buhari /idiagbon government… they stylish blame buhari.. while praising idiagbon to high heavens

Same we saw with Osibanjo..

They know how. To present everyone in bad light and their Yoruba people as saints

Very funny people

Just like in the animal kingdom, those people are the NATURAL ENEMIES of the Yorubas.

Their hatred is both spiritual AND genetic!


Yorubas need to WAKE UP, and know their REAL ENEMY!

We need to WAKE UP & RONU!!!

When you declare yourself a president while there is a sitting president, it is called TREASON. And the punishment for treason in Nigeria as at then is death by firing squad.
Laws do not change because your name is MKO Abiola.

Abacha was a military tyrant who usurped the leadership position in 1993 after Nigerians already elected MKO Abiola as the president of the country. Abiola had every right to declare himself the president because he was the one validly elected president by Nigerians and not Abacha.

Again, morons like Aisha Yesufu have said severally that Tinubu is not their president because they did not vote for him, should the Federal government now charge her and idiots like her for treason? Nnamdi Kanu is currently undergoing trial for treason and you all want him release, what's the difference?

Ibrahim Babangida annulled the elections MKO won, but you can never see a South westerner call out Babangida, because he is a Northerner

Abacha arrested and detained MKO, but you can never see a South westerner call out Abacha for that, because he is a Northerner

MKO died in mysterious circumstances under the detention of another Northerner called Abdusalami Abubakar, but you will never see a South westerner call out Abdusalami

But when it comes to the matter of June 12th and MKO, the only thing the South westerner will is Ojukwu, Nzeribe and Daniel Kanu

Nope, SW’ner call out Babangida and Abacha every damn time. Even during the peak of the period, callouts, slander, and etc was used against them all year long.

How many times have you heard people discuss Ojukwu name with Abiola?

This paper is a revelation especially because no one expect Ojuku to be that hateful to call for Abiola to be hangged simply because he is fighting for his mandate. He won a national election in a democracy and his election annulled.

It is akin to Tinubu hanging every dissent saying “Obi is their president” because that also is treason.

You obviously don't know history. Yorubas fought IBB to the point that he had to hurriedly step aside and hand over to an interim government headed by Ernest Shonekan. Arguably the first time a military tyrant would be stepping aside voluntarily without a coup or handing over to an elected president. Yorubas made it happen.

When Abachas took over, we fought him and the military government so fiercely that they had no choice than to return Nigeria to a democratic government headed by a Yoruba man. Between 1999 and now, we've produced a president for 8 years, vice president for 8 year and the current president is also a Yoruba. The North has learnt never to double cross the Yorubas politically again. So kiddo, go back home and learn your history. You Igbos are a very small fry for us if we have your time.

But they keep on chorusing "yorubas hates igbos" and I ask, what exactly, is there to like about them? None of them has been able to proffrr an answer to my simple question. Probably because, there's none.
Since we came into with these guys, they have never shown us any iota of goodwill.

Inspite of all the help we extended to these ingrates after their dumb misadventure that led to the civil war (at least, it's on record that ours was the only region in the country where there was no single case of "abandon property"wink, yet all we got in return from them, for our troubles were taunts, abuses, derogatory remarks, denigrations ati bebelo.

Oh well, now we surely know the kind of people we are dealing with in One (united) Nigeria.

You can't eat your cake and have it.
The law that made coup plotting and sundry related issues a capital offence was even promulgated by one of your sons General Olusegun Obasanjo. Infact in the trials of the Dimka coup plotters, some of them were convicted on backdated decrees. Do your research.

Part of the reason why Ironsi was at sea on how to handle the January 15 coup plotters was because of the paucity of specific decrees on how to deal with such events. It was Nigeriaa first coup. Capital punishment for coup plotting was first practiced under Obasanjo. As long as there is a sitting president, you can't declare yourself a president. That's the law. Obi did not declare himself a president. Abiola did that.

Legally, the argument that Abiola won an election is totally jejune. There are well constitutionally stipulated processes through which a democratically elected president should emerge. Those were succinctly encapsulated in the decree that predicated that elections. He never completed that process, even if all of us knew that he was on the verge of winning the elections.
Blame the military, not me.

He chose "nsobu nsobu"(in your dialect)

So did Abiola did a coup? Coz I don’t understand the jargons you just wrote here.

If I go on tv and declare I am the president, is that considered a coup and thus be hangedd?

By the way, Obasanjo is not Yoruba. Nothing shows Yoruba in all his dealings. When we say “Yoruba” in this context, we mean pro-Yoruba. OBJ is always anti-Yoruba and even he himself knows he has no weight in Yorubaland.

Who deserves the hanging, Abacha a despot or Abiola someone who contested and won an election?

No, Ojuku had no such power, he died in regret coz even his Biafra dream never got achieved.

Anytime anyone remeber Ojuku, it is all about sorrow, war, and tears. He left an extremely bad legacy. In Ojuku name, many perished in the 60s and even till now, his comrade still perishing people daily in 2024 in the SE.

Anytime anyone remeber Abiola, it is about justice, June 12, democracy, philanthropism, and honor!
