whatever the case maybe, a man died because he trusted. he did not vote all by himself. more importantly a hope died and from this the nation is fully yet to recover.
none are pure, none are holy. but there is a distinct difference between having problems whilst caring enough to do something about them and having problems which you are now proud of.

the nation barely pulled through last time. if care and thought is not taken, we may not be so lucky this time. please choose your fate well.

on a sidebar i was just wondering at what point your family would consider returning all the money it has stolen from the country.fair enough your parents have paid for it with their lives and we all know IBB would also get his soon enough.
And lets stop with all the boohooing and finger pointing dont forget he who points one finger has three pointing back at him.
Your family still lives in opulent wealth while the general population of your country still lives in poverty. And before we know what is happening another Abiola will rear its ugly head and say they want to rule as well....
i could go on but i guess the whole country need space to vent their anger as well.
i mean he was not president yet but had fleeced the country of so much had he been president he probably would have sold anything that was not nailed down.
i dont like IBB but your folks were no better.
you want Nigerians to feel better start by returning some of the money back to the people you stole it from.

You all should read and properly digest it before making unnecessary comments. She is only given her honest opinion. Her objectivity on Nigerian politics is plain.
You all have your view, it a free world and free choice.....

@ Anon & Pro IBB - I take your points on Hafsat Abiola Costello but she didnt just lose her dad - Nigerians lost the man and the mandate.

In any case, she lost her mum as a result of June 12. Now tell me, even if you had issues with her Dad, what was her mum's crime?

People just like reinventing history to suit their image. Abiola Costello's wealth and status in society was inherited from her father. Wealth that was exploited from Nigeria under military rule.

If Abiola could be reinvented from milatary collaborator and later NPN henchman to an icon of democracy, why not IBB? Was it not Abiola's ITT that fela sang "International Thief Thief" about?

Let her family first pay restituition before pointing fingers.

(NB:Jeremy, if you have never heard of NPN, think of PDP without any pretensions of public spiritness.)

I don't like IBB for some of the same reasons that Ms Abiola Costello has listed. However, I think she needs to stop harping on this anulled election like a broken record! Every where I read about her, its the same theme ovr and over. It's not as if hr father was the epitom of democracy. From what I remember,MK was very pally with both Bagangida and Abacha as well as many other military officers, infact one can say that he was very suceessful business wise under the military government of IBB.... so please lets stop with the holier than thou attitude!

Woodrow! I'm absolutely impressed and she makes a whole lot of sense.
