@nostalgicsound_ng: Scenes from Lagos on July 11, 1998, when Nigerians gathered to bid farewell to Chief M.K.O. Abiola, the businessman, politician, and pro-democracy figure whose name became inseparable from the June 12 struggle. . Despite fears of unrest following his d£@th in military custody days earlier, tens of thousands of mourners lined the streets around his residence, paying their final respects in an atmosphere marked by grief, reflection, and a shared sense of national loss. While the burial itself was conducted privately within the grounds of his home, vast crowds gathered outside, many in tears, others in prayer, as the nation mourned a man widely regarded as a symbol of democracy and the struggle for the validation of the June 12 mandate. . Seen in this footage is Omoyele Sowore (@yelesho ) among the young Nigerians present during the historic farewell, as thousands gathered to honour a man whose name had become synonymous with the June 12 struggle and the fight to uphold the democratic mandate of the Nigerian people. . . . #MKOAbiola #June12 #NigerianHistory #DemocracyDay

We don’t speak good English again in this country. I see footage of how they spoke in the 80’s and 90’s and I’m amazed. Can we get good English speakers back?
