GREAT LEADERS IN NIGERIA

in #history7 years ago

In the continent of Africa, Nigeria to be precise.
Nigeria is a country filled with great history and an abundance of cultural values.
We had the privilege to have great leaders who were know both locally and internationally. Some were able to reach top offices while some were not.

  1. Chief Mko abiola
    He was known as Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola.He was born in Abeokuta, Ogun state and he is also from the same state. His father had lost 22 previous children before he was born, which was the reason he was called“Kashimawo,”meaning,“let’s wait and see if he will not die.”He did his first business at age 9 by gathering firewood and selling them. He was a stammerer, who also had a music band of his own at age 15.

He was the editor of his school, Baptist Boys High School magazine, while Nigeria’s former president, ChiefOlusegun Obasanjo was his deputy. He graduated with a first class degree in Accounting from Glasgow University, Scotland.He contested the presidential election under the defunctSocial Democratic Party (SDP) on Saturday, June 12, 1993. The results of the polls were annulled by former military Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida as it was clear Abiola would win.
Some of the things named after him include: Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY) and Moshood Abiola Stadium, both in Ogun state and Abiola Gardens, a Housing Estate in Lagos state. He was a philanthropist per excellence.
Expect more from #greatnigerianlesders.
