Trouble Shots Episode Two This Episode looks back in time to troubleshoot the cause of the tussle between Adekunle Ajasin and his then Deputy, Akin Omoboriowo in 1983.
Nice one and well done to Agbaletu and Comrade Dan. @Dele-please bring this man back on another topic. Let him also suggest what can be done to address the current issues…maybe some politicians can learn from him. He’s so good, sound and intelligent. Comrade should be sponsored for a political post….
God bless this man in dark glasses for referring back to the error committed by Ben Nwabueze then because of the greed of the igbos. He later regretted it but failed to tell his people the error he committed. Just as Zik failed to tell the igbos that he was the one who said that they should not include the secession clause into the constitution then because he belief that they will dominate the Central forever in Nigeria. If he has told them before he died possibly the igbos will not hate yoruba like this
This man is a genius in history analysis 😂😂😂 all his stories are so well articulated. He’s so funny in the story/history analysis! I can’t laugh alone. Agbaletu, pls bring him back for more classical stories.
The man knows it all because Omoboriowo who was Awoist can not just rebel. Interviewing Chief R. F Fasoranti , the leader of Afenifere will give more political information.
Agbaletu o need co - host at all You alone is perfectly perfect because you don't interrupt your guest at all. Kola Oloto interviewing guest go be like market square..
Thanks Again Agbaletu for touching another powerful incident in Yoruba politics. But for many people from Ondo, this comrade made few gaffes. He wasn't quite correct about creation of Ekiti State, the agitation has been going even when the professor was a dean at UNIFE but more importantly, the reference to Ondo people as "Kobokobo", "Ondo a je lokili", "Ondo a je aja" is disrespectful.
The 3 men that perfected that 1983 scandal in ondo are late Akin omoboriowo, John Agboola ojomo and Amos Akingba. Despite the machinations they did not win ondo state because Ekiti people have a total and blind confidence in Awolowo and his disciples because it is their programme that made Ekiti elites to excell in Education. It was massively rigged and they both left ondo state in the night of the day they announced omoboriowo as the winner
@Dele Adeyanju-Temitope Falanu is a good guy too but i think One-on-One with your guests is the best arrangement. Please find out from others….this looks somehow sha.
Another fabulous interview. It's always engaging to hear Comrade DAM speak as he is very knowledgeable about a huge raft of past political events. However, he, in this edition showed a couple of make-believe ignorance; notably 1. That Esie people ko ni Oriki. Iro gbuu ni. Won ni. Esie Iludun ni awa ti se, a si ni Oriki. 2. That NGR borrowed against not yet drilled oil. National debts are always secured against national assets. It is impossible for NGR or any country to secure debt against oil already drilled. Who will lend against oil that has already been drilled and that can be easily sold and dispersed? No one. Thus DAM showed macro economic ignorance on this singular point. Closely aligned to this is his assertion that PMB's Govt set the country back so many years. It is 100% untrue. Yes, the Buhari administration made a number of policy mistakes, (all Govts do). But his assertion was crass and irresponsible on this occasion as those who like him would probably accept this at face value and without challenge when he is actually well-off the mark. As for Ekiti having the most educated people and professors in Yoruba land, it is true but they also have the highest number of educated illiterates in Yoruba land. Most of them know theories of whatever discipline they studied by rote but can rarely apply them practically for local, state or national development. This is a fact.
Those of you disagreeing with what Comrade said wish you have half of his knowledge or know half of what he knows . Just come with your version of whatever he says and end it with "you stand to be corrected "
We lived in the Gelato - Wofun - Iyana church axis in the 90's, within 2 -3 km radius, there were about 8 big factories then, including Arcedem, Leyland, TSG, Exide, Gelato, Veritax, Dizzengoff, today, none of the factories is functioning. Some days, I weep for the country.
This is just a swavy speaker. He is a typical politician who always projects and talks on assumptions and preemptive talk. At what age did he start politics that he talks about things that were said btw 2 individuals in the corners of dr bedroom. Is he a spirit. All these are embellishments and sweet talk. He didnt get the stories right
I am an Ekiti man and fairly knowledgeable in 1983. There are some inaccuracies in the story of Omobiriowo as told here. First, Omobiriowo did not enjoy bloc vote( although he won the shadow election of UPN by bloc support from Ekiti but Awo reversed it by fiat ) . Secondly, the Governorship electoral dispute went from EPT to Supreme court and Ajasin won every stage. Pls confirm
@ Dele Agbaletu, I hope you've carried out detailed, multi layered independent due diligence on Peace Estate that you are promoting, before promoting them. For me, the body language and facial expression of that fast talking guy promoting the business gives a lot away. I won't trust him as far as I can throw him with his shifty eyes. Please be careful, if you haven't done extensive due diligence on him, the project and on his company. Don't get sucked in simply with promise of introducer commission.
The events he is talking about occurred in recent times not in the era of Jesus and Mohammed. Thus, there are several contemporary historical accounts of the events that occurred in Nigeria since 1945 to say the least. Ironsi stopped the coup that was planned by Ifeajuna and Nzeogu. However, he had to bring a Unitary constitution in to mirror the Military structure because the Military must have a single top - down power structure. The sub-ordinates cannot have power that is equal or higher than that of the COAS for example. He is right that the Hausas took advantage of that structure because Gowon was supposed to read a speech announcing the secession of the North but the white hands behind the curtains pulled the strings to make him do otherwise.
I disagree with this man. Baba Ajasin of UPN won at the Election Tribunal, Appeal court and the supreme Court headed by Justice Bello. The assertion that if not that the military took over,Omoboriowo would have won in court is not true. Pls Agbaletu, correct your record on this.
This man needs clarification; HID was never a part of the Unity Party of Nigeria. HID never influenced the party. M. C. K. Ajuluchukwu was the chairman of the Unity Party of Nigeria, so this man needs to be more intelligent in giving accounts of what happened. Then, he exaggerated the facts; he was biased. Unity Party of Nigeria is the most organised in the history of Nigeria
On this one the man is right. She was not a member per say but people of that time knew she was that powerful. Only a few times will Awolowo disagree with whatever she says. This is not the first time I'm hearing this. Awolowo makes issues with whoever she has issues with. Her personal issues with some people soon turned into a political dispute with her husband. That's the reason some Yorubas never joined the party. Partly the reason for the dissent of the Epe and Osun groups at that time. They didn't just want to show the divisions but many were displeased of how she ran things in the party.
There is a lot you neither know nor understand about what took place then. His historical account of UPN was 100% right. Be it, about mama HID, Governors etc. I speak from a position of also knowing.
Akin Omoboriowo is from Ijero Ekiti. In his town people,don't like him, cos the last time I saw with with my late father junior junior brother. He was living Oworoshki low cost cost housing estate and he couldn't even come come outside, he showed to us from window's from kitchen
If I will be sincere with myself and humanity I will advice Dele Adeyanju not to get himself into talking about nigeria politics. Nigeria politics is another things entirely, you will not mention anyone's name but the affected people knows and they pick offence in it. In a country where the security is poor you watch what you are talking about.
I love history. I learn from history. Politics, one way or the other, is lifestyle. We all are politicians and the actions of our past and present leaders have an effect on each one of us and our offsprings.
You are a liar, and misleading people,, you are a failure in the history you are saying court Appeal court in Benin declared Ajasin the winner in 1983 governorship,, even Ekiti people voted for Ajasin
Your disrespectful comment doesn't show you in good light. Telling anyone, not to talk of a man who is probably old enough to be your father to shut up shows you lack good home training and self respect. If he think he doesn't know about Ondo politic, why not show a bit of intelligence by presenting your own counter version of those events?
