In an interview, General Olusegun Obasanjo revealed how, when they were detained, General Sani Abacha wanted him, the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, and the late Moshood Abiola, the hero of June 12th, dead.

The former president said that Yar’Adua was poisoned by Abacha’s assassination team and that he was supposed to be the next casualty, but that he was spared by God’s providential intervention. “Two people had earlier told me,” stated Obasanjo. Abacha pledged that none of the three of us—including me—would escape jail or custody alive. MKO Abiola and Shehu Yar Adua. Additionally, two of them perished. Given that I survived, perhaps God has a purpose. Thus, it’s okay if the goal is for me to serve the people and, in doing so, serve God. I was allegedly planning a coup by Abacha. It wasn’t me who got arrested first. I attempted to ask for Shehu’s (Yar’Adua) release after he was taken into custody. I told Abacha that the second-most powerful man in this nation could not be detained without your knowledge when he claimed he was unaware of Shehu’s detention. He then said he would go and find out. “Abacha excluded God from his design, and as a result, it (his government) ultimately collapsed. Every single one of us and every single institution has God’s hand in it. That, in my opinion, is really credible. “I was placed in isolation for three months after being detained and brought to a home in Ikoyi, Lagos.…

Bishop Kayode Williams Williams was born in 1954, and his road into crime is a singular tale. Williams, the lone kid of his mother’s two children, didn’t turn to thievery due to hardship, in contrast to many bandits who sought to escape poverty by whatever means. In the 1960s, his mother, a well-known fabric merchant in Ibadan’s well-known Gbagi market, was a devoted Christian. At the time, Gbagi was one of Nigeria’s largest and most well-known fabric marketplaces.

The men in the group were neighborhood guys he looked up to. When I encountered them in secondary school, they urged me to assist them in purchasing a pack of smokes, which I did. I paid two shillings and six pence for the cigarette, and I gave them the remaining seventeen and six pence after using the one pound note that I had been given. However, they advised me to follow the balance. That exceeded my teacher’s pay at the time, which was 17 shillings,” he remarked.

Story of Billionaire Who Bought Kingship With Money in Awkuzu In the early 1990s
Late Igwe John Ejikeme Nebeolisa, also known as Joneb, Arusi Awkuzu, or Igwe Ibilibeogada—which translates to “The biggest the town has ever seen”—was a well-known figure in the 1980s and 1990s Igbo elite and multibillionaire circles. He was close to the late Eze ego of Ihiala and the powerful Chief Morris Ibekwe of Okwelle Holdings. In addition, he was a trailblazer and a prominent member of the Peoples Club of Nigeria during that time. Members of this social club included many multibillionaires, most of them with dubious sources of wealth. For the majority of Nigerians, the millionaire members of this group were either associated with dubious ventures, customs, blood money, or other related activities. But these were mere speculations because there was no proof. In his heyday, John Nebeolisa was the epitome of what a man might hope to become. He drove a brand-new Peugeot 504, a limousine, and other high-end vehicles. Whatever was popular in the 1990s, Joneb had it all. He traveled in convoy and with bodyguards. In addition to owning properties in Abuja, Lagos, and overseas, Joneb had enterprises throughout the eastern area. His ventures included lodging facilities, tour companies, and other contentious enterprises. He amassed enormous wealth at the time from his dubious ventures, but he also spent it as if there were no tomorrow.

Ozoemena Nsugbe (Ayaka), a well-known Igbo musician, also sang laudatory songs about him. Oliver De Coque once devoted an entire album to the proprietor of the formerly well-known Joneb Holiday Inn in Awkuzu.

How He Acquired Awkuzu’s Kingship: The controversial businessman Joneb stated his ambition to become the King of Awkuzu, a town in the Oyi local government area of Anambra State, challenging the long-standing Igbo tradition in the region. Joneb’s desire for fame and power drove him to this extreme. Following the demise of King Aganama IV, the Late Igwe John Ejikeme Nebeolisa seized the kingdom by force. The multimillionaire initially gave the impression that he was bluffing to the majority of the town’s elders, dignitaries, and Igwe in council until he broke into each of their homes one by one carrying bags stuffed with’mints’ of naira notes that anyone who opposed his goal had never seen in their lives. Because of his immense wealth, Joneb was able to purchase his way into the throne. He bought off everyone who may …
Epic History of the Kingdom of Ozoro in Isoko Delta state
Isoko North’s capital city is Ozoro. According to legend, Opute founded Ozoro when he and his wife, Ozoro, moved to Isokoland in the Niger Delta Region in the seventh century from the coasts of Igodomigodo, the previous name of the Benin Kingdom. This occurred between 600 and 618 AD, under the rule of Ogiso Orrorro, the seventh Ogiso (King) of the Great Benin Kingdom. The local government headquarters of the Isoko North Local Government Area in Delta State, Nigeria, is located in Ozoro, the most populated town in the Isoko Nation. The oral tradition that has been passed down to the current generation speaks proudly of their ancestry and descent from “AKA,” or EDO and Ubini, as their people affectionately refer to the Great Benin Empire. Opute, their founding father and great ancestor, was a legendary warrior. From ancient Benin, he immigrated with his spouse Ozoro. Opute was compelled by circumstances to abandon his birthplace. He was a persona non grata because of issues at home. According to oral tradition, Ogwaran and Opute were sons of the same father but separate mothers. A brawl broke out between their mothers after they argued in the marketplace. During the battle, Okpe, Opute’s younger brother, accidentally blinded Ogwaran’s mother by shutting an arrow. Opute is terrified of his giant brother Ogwaran’s infamous strength and wrath. Opute left the Benin kingdom with his wife Ozoro, his younger brother Okpe, and his brothers Odume, Osumiri, Ozormo, Etimi, Iselewu, and Obodogwa—all descended from the same mother—before Ogwaren could return. Obogelowo, Ogwaran’s medicine man, gave Opute and his brothers a fierce chase. When they reached the Ologbo River, Obogelowo broke off the chase and went back to Benin; he was unable to cross the river for fear of losing his magical abilities. With a wealth of magical abilities from his victories in battle and endeavors, Opute departed the shores of Benin. His father gave him a magical staff (“Usu”), the seed of a possession tree, and the replication/artifacts of his own deity.…
Interesting Story of Igboho Kingdom in Oyo State
Igboho plays a significant role in the former Oyo Empire’s history. Although Oyo plays a significant role in Yoruba history, Igboho’s contribution to the Oyo Empire’s durability cannot be ignored or forgotten. Gbage’s departure from Ilesha marked the beginning of the Igboho people. After a struggle for the chieftaincy, Gbage’s younger brother was crowned Owa. In an attempt to bring about peace, the (angry) elder brother fled the realm. Gbage Olabinukuro, the elder brother, departed the Owa palace and established Ebiti, his own hamlet. To this new residence, he was accompanied by all of his admirers, including hunters. During that historical period, the ancient Oyo Empire was invaded by Fulani. They made Alaafin Ofinran and his people leave their house. Alaafin met Gbage, who had moved from Ilesha, when he arrived in Ebiti. Alaafin Ofinran said that Gbage was a strong, charming man who possessed great strength when fighting or hunting. The relative calm and tranquility of the community astounded Alaafin Ofinran. After that, he asked who the head was—usually referred to as Baale—and Gbage was asked to meet with Alaafin. It was Gbage who greeted him. After Kishi, they arrived at a river (Sanya), where Alaafin’s wife gave birth to a newborn boy named Tella Abisipa, or a child born on the route. Upon arriving to the center of Igbo-Oba, which is still known by that name today, the oracle informed them that they would be staying there. Two birds were battling on a tree beneath which they were all sitting when the herbalist was performing a divination. One of the birds was an Igbo bird (Eye Igbo), and the other was an Oyo bird (Eye Oyo). After the two birds were slaughtered, Ifa was offered their blood as a sacrifice. The names Igbo-oyo and Igboho were derived from these two birds, Igbo and Oyo. It was alleged that Alaafin Ofinran was interred there. Following the deaths of around four Alaafin in Igboyo, Tella Abisipa, who was …
