It is a vexation  to have to refute an obviously hallucinated lie !!! Responding gives undeserved credence to nonsense, and non response may be misconstrued as aquiesence to  fiction !

Chief Obafemi Awolowo had the risk factors for sudden death, and it was not just his age. The miscreant peddling this blasphemous rumor about Awolowo  knows that Yoruba culture and Christian religion frowns on  deliberate self harm or suicide. He knows that Sango, a reknowned Alaafin of Oyo, is referred to as Oba Koso ( meaning the King did not commit suicide by hanging !). Today, Sango is apotheosized as the god of Thunder in the Yoruba pantheon. 

This is novel revision of Awos final days  nothing but a posthumous attempt to kill Awolowo 's good name, blemish his record and tarnish his persona for political gain. But Nigerians are nobody's village idiot !

The miscreant peddling this rumor may wish to tell his tale to the birds, and when he too dies, may his carcass  not be found to be buried,  for the ICONOCLASM he conjured against the Great Statesman , Awololwo!.

This is one of the most mischievious fictions I have read in my entire life. Lateef Jakande
fell from grace with the Yorubas in particular but Nigerians in general when he, Ebenezer Babatope and
Dr. Olu Onagoruwa accepted ministerial jobs from Abacha and yet refused to resign when it became
obvious  that he, Abacha, had used them to deceive Nigerians that he would de-annul June 12 elections.
It is a case of telling lies by weaving truth around it.

   ''Given the man's depth of spiritual insight and development, suicide is out of the question.

       Awolowo was not just a political figure, but an enigma whose polished demeanor makes mockery of today's leaders and his contemporals. Amongst the ''BIG 3''.....Zik, Awo and Saduana, i beg to note, Awo ,has no comparison.
The fact remains till date that Awo's vision, and scores of achievement remains a yardstick upon which political insight is measured.
  Awo with his lieutenants provided Nigeria a formidable program of reference/blueprint for economic,social and political development and for naysayers to demean the mans accomplishment, they should compare their regional  political leaders achievements to that of Awo.
   My friends Awo na giant in the midst of men........if Nigeria had three Awolowo, our nation would/could have been better for it.(Shikena) .

Subject: [NaijaPolitics] How Awolowo committed suicide by a FICTION WRITER

 
 
 This account is fiction and written by an amateur fiction writer.First of,25 years is silver jubilee and not golden jubilee. Given Babangida's antecedents would one really believe he did not arrest Awolowo but gave him the option to stand trial or go into exile?With all his wealth that this fiction writer alluded to ,and then his international connections wouldn't that have made Awolowo more powerful and more likely to succeed in the alleged bid to force IBB from power if he went on exile?
 
Today,the news is LKJ betrayed Awo and that's why he is being sidelined by the Awo dynasty.But some years ago it was becasue it was discovered LKJ was not originally Yoruba.This fiction writer then attacks Awo's source of wealth in a manner that suggests the writer either has a pecunairy motive or political motivation.
 
The fact of the matter is that Awo is still an enigma even almost 25 years after his transition.Given the man's depth of spiritual insight and development, suicide is out of the question. I recall his last birthday celebration when he declared that what he was celebrating was the imminence of his transition and then he went on and for those of us who understood the spiritual significance of his speech,it was a most profound speech.He even went as far as promising a certain amount for anyone who could produce the book by Raymond Moody.Even his pre-sentencing speech during the treasonable felony trial revealed the depth of his spiritual insight and development. Or do I point to the disclosures of the prison warder assigned to his cell in a tribute to the great sage?If I recall correctly,that was an Ogidi man.
 
The fiction writer has failed to tell what motive LKJ had for allegedly betraying his master.The writer's assertion that Awolowo dreaded the possibility of going to jail again given his past incaceration is baloney when we know the punishment for that kind of crime was the death penalty.Again ,I refer to his pre-sentencing speech in which he cursed those that framed him up,he declared Nigeria would descend into a period of darkness after which would come a glorious dawn.It came to pass fully and in 1978 in his speech declaring his political intention Awolowo declared, "at last the glorious dawn".
The writer also recounts the news presented about how Awo died while briushing his teeth to support his position that he died of poison.This is laughable because sudden deaths like that could be caused by so many things and I leave that for the medical folks.Suicide is a crime and perhaps Awo disclosed this to his disciples and they never tried to ferry him across through the borders?
 
The only credible account about the brush Awolowo had with the military junta was given by Wole Soyinka in his book.The soldiers invade his Apapa residence in search of documents relating to the missing $2.8 million at the Petroluem ministry where Buhari(my man) :):) was at the helm of affairs.
 
As for the fiction,the writer would get a grade of D from me and he doesn't qualify for the comments 'nice try".
 
 
How Awolowo committed suicide

By Abdulmumini Adeku
 
 
Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo
 
Twenty –three years after he suddenly was reported dead of natural cause and two years shy of his golden jubilee , facts are now emerging on the reasons that led to First  and Second Republic political heavyweight ,Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo  committing  suicide
It was learned that he did it  to stem the tide of a possible military court martial into an insurrection he was planning to lead alongside his political associates at the time when it became evident that then Military President ,General Ibrahim Babangida was intending staying in power forever.
In a no-hold barred interview with FS Online recently,a grass root politician ,Mr Adebayo  Adeyinka who lives within the College Road  at Ifako-Ijaiye axis in Ogba ,a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria  was livid with rage when he learned that a key politician connected to the issue was denying the incident.
He revealed that Chief Awolowo  wanted to lead some kind of guerilla warfare  or militant campaign against the government of President Babangida  so that he can be overthrown through a popular or people -led putsch.
According to him , the Elder Statesman summoned a meeting of  his core loyalists over the issue  and this was even filmed  so as to  strengthen the extent of  commitment of each of the politician  that attended the meeting..
He pointed out that however unknown to all of those who were privy to this meeting and clarion call , Chief Lateef Kayode Jakande ,Former Executive Governor of Lagos State had a different plan  as he betrayed   them to the military .
He Said:’ But unknown to them , Chief Jakande was planning to betray them, he went to President Ibrahim Babangida  and promptly showed him the tape
“Papa Awolowo  was invited  for a meeting  with President Ibrahim Babangida  who was then staying at&nbs p; Dodan Barracks which was the seat of power as at then and the truth of his clandestine meetings  was revealed to him  by the gap –toothed  General
“He gave Papa some options  and that was for him to be ready to face a court martial , be ready to go to a prison or better still go on exile
“At this stage Papa felt instead of allowing some ambitious khaki boy to mess him up he should just  pack it in and call it a day ,so Chief Awolowo decide to commit  suicide  so as to  save  himself from the ignominy of going to prison for the second time in his lifetime .
“But before he did this he called his core loyalists  for a meeting ,before then he had called up Late Chief Bola Ige [Cicero],since the latter had a very strong understanding of the Hausa Language having had his formative years as a young man in Kaduna but discovered  that the late Esa-Oke strongman   was innocent after he was interrogated by Papa
“He called others for enquiries while asking them to tender the video cassettes  of the meeting  they all attended to discuss the plans to topple President Babangida  for examination ,at this juncture Chief Jakande developed a cold feet as he  could not  produce his own copy of the video which was freely distributed to all that was present at the meeting previously before the betrayal and that was how the cat was let out of the bag
“So he cursed him at this point   and pointed out that he   will never have any form of relevance politically as far as Nigeria was concerned and till today members of the Awolowo Dynasty avoids him like a plague.
“I was their when  the letter he wrote to the family to beg them for forgiveness over the unfortunate incident was read in the presence of all present ,if he continues to deny I am ready to confront him publicly again on the same issue as I can  even remember that elders  asked him to go to the grave of the late sage to plead for forgiveness
“When he was questioned he lied that the National Security Organization now State Security Services had visited his house to check on him and in the process took the tape in question but” Awoists” knew that this was a very weak argument  as he did not inform their political group of this development before their enquiry on the subject
“That was how Senator Abraham Adesanya  assumed the leadership  of the Awolowo camp of Yoruba politics after the demise of the man ,he was not even so close to Awolowo during his lifetime like Chief Jakande and that was why many called him Baba Kekere on account of this cosy relationship
“Before he gave up the ghost , he said his prayers  and then took the poison which killed him  almost immediately but the public was not fully aware as  they were given a diffe rent account of what happened.
“We were simply told that he died   while he was brushing his teeth  in his bathroom at his Park Lane,Apapa residence here in Lagos
“He was stupendously wealthy during his lifetime, infact  there is  know company at Oba Akran in Ikeja ,Lagos  where he does not  have at least a five percent equity, Dideolu Court in Ogba  alone cannot be valued at less than N10 Billion ,that was the place that he had in mind to be his Seat of power if he was elected as Nigeria’s President.
‘He owned Shonibare Estate but the man he was using as a front  and  who later went to prison over some issues which Awolowo himself was privy to  eventually laid  claim to the estate.
“He got  all of this wealth due to a great measure of goodwill  and tax waivers  he gave to investors whenever they come to establish  their business.
“Anytime you bu y a bottle of Coca-Cola you are enriching  the Awolowo Dynasty ,go to Ijebu Ikenne and you will discover that the price of a bag cement there is different from other parts of the nation due to the  subsidy that the citizens enjoy on account of Awolowo who was their son and I hope you know that West African Portland Cement is in Ewekoro and not Ikenne.
“On account of this great betrayal Awolowo family members regard  the “Awoist” as a group people should deal with using a long spoon till this day and this explains  why when The Peoples Democratic Party Government  gave some of them political appointment lately they accepted it without thinking twice.
“Dr Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu was made an Ambassador by Former President Olusegun Obasanjo while  , Mr Segun Awolowo Jnr was given a plum job at the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja as a Secretary.
“Recently when Afenifere was disintegrating Mama out of concern& nbsp; for her husband’s legacies decided to call a truce because as she puts it then, she did not know what she was going to tell her husband the day they meet in heaven
“He made Sijuwade rich , because  he was his business associate  and in fact some of us held very strong views that he was one of his fronts and later the  same man became the Ooni of Ife”he added
Mr  Adebayo Adeyinka   recalled his several years of following grass root politics right from the days of Action Group to the Unity Party of Nigerian era in the second republic but now lamented that he had since lost all interest in partisan politics due to the massive corruption in our polity.

He has been described surprisingly by some of his greatest critics and even political opponents as probably the Best President Nigeria never had.
He struck a chord with the womenfolk during his lifetime when in a rare show of public affection for his wife of several years, Chief Mrs Hannah Dideolu Awolowo told the world that the woman was his jewel of inestimable value.
How right or prophetic he was because his wife has continued to strengthen the mileage of the husband’s name even in death.
During an exclusive interview with FS Online at his Ilupeju home in Lagos last year, Chief Lateef Jakande upon being probed with questions over his relationship with Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo on account of what feelers were suggesting had denied  that they had a bad relationship shortly before his death.
He insisted that those that said that they had any problems between them prior to  Chief Awolowo’s  death were not been honest as they were all telling lies.
