I'm a Kenyan born in ,1981.. I grew up hearing all this big names ,abubakar, babangida, abacha, Ken Saro wiwa.....And listening to nwosu I'm convinced it's not all lost we still have people of integrity in Nigeria....I now understand there the rain started to hit Nigeria
You guys are all guilty, you even belong to the the leading them on civilian group ,at the end of the day they want us to believe it was the military. Did any of you guys resign ?
BABANGIDA would have been WORLD HERO today if he successfully handed over. He messed up himself and scuttled his UNIQUENESS. He should have RETIRED ABACHA immediately if he actually wanted to handover. Nwosu,you have done your part.GOD BLESS U SIR.
Happy to hear and see you since 1993 God bless your old age and bless your generation for what you did for Nigeria.The truth will always set you free before man and God.
I am happy Prof. Nwosu is alive. I am happy that this son of Igboland has shown what Igbos are made of. This man is and will always be a hero. As a Yorubaman, I voted on June 12, 1993 never expecting MKO Abiola to win. But he won. We were all so elated until the criminals running Nigeria from Babangida to Abacha, David Mark to Nyako decided to annul the election. Where is David Mark today? Where is Babangida today and their co-collaborator Obasanjo? Nigeria will not see progress and advance until these criminals are jailed and made to pay for their crimes. Thank you once again, Prof. Nwosu.
Terratiger what was Obasanjo's with the annulment? Was he part of the process or he forced Babangida to conduct election and hand over as promised when he took over from Buhari! You guys need to be accurate with events before you post comments online! You all think OBJ is Nigeria's problem? Wait until he dies, then you will realise how important he is in the Nigerian polity!
@Abisola Abiodun in fairness tó the man, OBJ did his best with conferences he organised condemning military rule in Nigeria and Africa, and gathered some leaders across Africa and from EU and US! That got Abacha annoyed and led to OBJs incarceration and almost died in detention! Yar'Adua didn't come back alive, even Abiola himself died in that struggle!
You can hate whoever. Do not bring Obasanjo into this mess. Obj was the only sane military ruler who handed over willingly to a democratically elected government. Abacha jailed him too. They thereafter rewarded him with Presidency in 1999. Periodt!
It’s part of that injustice Igbos have been fighting against. They celebrate Abiola’s victory and nobody talks about the man who maintained sanity in conducting that election. No reasonable person would talk about June 12th election without mentioning this great man. Prof. Humphrey Nwosu you are a great legend and will be remembered by many Nigerians who cherishes integrity and honesty.
This is the true hero of June 12 He made it public knowledge that Abiola won 1993 presidential election. He didn't run away from the country like most of the beneficiaries of June 12 Congratulations Prof Humphrey Nwosu for your heroism
Sowore should please stop asking baby questions. You expected him to resign when he takes the risk to barge into their meeting. Tinubu should please recall this man and pay him all his entitlements
The northern has been causing problem between Yoruba and Igbo. I pray our eyes open and embrace each other tightly to break the yoke of the northern people on us. I remembered everyone in Yoruba land saying Igbo help fulani destroyed Abiola. Thank you Sowore for Sahara report and thank God Almighty for sparing the life of Humphrey Nwosu to be able to expose the truth. Long live Oduduwa long live Biafra. We will see better days by the special grace of God Almighty..
Prof Nwosu...U r a living legend ! I remove my cap sir !! This is exactly where Nigeria was twisted out of Babangidas selfish whims and interest hence the digression of this great country till date !!!
Dis elderly statesman is making sense. Wish there were more intelligent knowled- geable elderly's lyk him who r truthful, cared more n rooting 4 younger Nigerians.. Can't wait to buy/read ur book, It'd b money well spent God Bless u sir
God bless Prof Nwosu. He did his best using his intelligence to lay a foundation for a new Nigerian democracy, not forgetting the good works of late Prof Omoruyi. Unfortunately, Babangida annuled the election in collaboration with Abacha. The INEC of today is a sham.
Am a Kenyan but this is what has been happening to our icon RAILA AMOLO ODINGA since 2007. These two gentlemen Abiola and Odinga are the African presidents who never ruled.
Bro Africa is still saddled with elders who are not ready to die for Africa rather neocolonial sympathizers, rubbishing Africas democracy, And are they not educated enough to be hobnobbing with the military?
The one person I respect from the east is Ebitu ukiwe,if you are led into a cul de sac of conscience you resign and allow history to tell us your story.😊
oh my GOD, Sahara TV has just made my day. Please keep it up! So impressed about this interview with Prof. Humphrey Nwosu, always get the other side of the story.
This man, Prof Humphrey Nwosu is the real living hero of June 12, not the unfortunate statue they erected at Eagle Square last Democracy Day. He should be given the highest honor in the land..not people that betrayed Abiola and June 12, who parade themselves as heros of democracy.
Gen . Sani Abacha is the brain behind the annulment period. He hated Abiola with passion and vowed that he would never be his commander in chief. How many times did the professor mention Abacha's name in this interview.. Abacha was prominent in the decision.
Humphrey you have tried your best, one thing I had noticed is that you never want to die, you failed to have done the right thing just to preserve your life. If you had given your more courage to exhibit it, that would have been nice
A good account of events by Prof Nwosu... a pity that the intellect of such men have been misused and abused indiscriminately by the military regimes in Nigeria, if Nigeria is to survive and be a true force to be reckoned with in the world, the future leadership must adopt ideological basis politics, harness and uphold the integrity of our intellectual and human capital prior to and when making critical national decisions, be truthful, transparent and fair, build and respect institutions that would enable good governance and promote the highest levels of excellence at all the three arms of government, eradicate the rulership mentality at all levels and learn to govern with responsibility and accountability across all levels of government and society. Thank you Prof. On a more wider context, the above narration is a typical microcosm of the Black Man's problem in African and across the world and that is the "Rulership mentality", power means RULE with impunity to the average Black folk, the less we RULE against ourselves and our interests as a people the closer we get to unity and common purpose to protect and love ourselves wherever we find ourselves in the world. Lives were lost as a result of the June 12 annulment and no progress made as a country since then, we are still consumed by the Rulership mindset even in a supposedly democratic regime. Even in the current democratic dispensation, Nigerian leaders are still not trained to engage and appreciate "intellect" and the value of intellectual engagement on matters of critical national importance, for that the country as a whole will continue to pay the price where religion and tribal affinity drives policy and governance. Solution - As a Nigerian and a Black Man wherever you are, love yourself and your people, think before you speak and vote, vote for change as its time to change.
What has Buhari got to do with this?. Remember that before Buhari, there was Obasanjo, and there was Jonathan. You forget that the military includes Ifeajuna, Nzeogwu and Aguiyi Ironsi.
Professot Nwosu is correct in defending his gallant stand in handling the June 12 election but he was not party to the international pressures being put on Nigeria by the US., the UK and Europe to prevent Abiola from becoming President of Nigeria.. At the risk of annoying people I shall point out again that while it is no doubt true that IBB voided the June 12 election and precipitated a national emergency the truth behind that has never been fully understood by the Nigerian populace. The Nigerian military (David Mark, Aliyu Mohammed Gusau and others on the Council) were adamant that the Babangida government should never allow Abiola to run for office. The basis for this was the information being circulated in Washington, London and Lagos of Abiola’s alleged ties to the international drugs business. The US, in particular, had expressed its strong opposition to Abiola as President; not because of his politics or allegations of corruption, but rather for the evidence they felt was correct and compelling about Abiola’s alleged drugs connections. This was raised in the Military Council on three occasions before the election.and Babangida was warned about allowing the election to proceed. He refused to take a decision until it was almost too late. When he did, he precipitated the crisis of June 12. His friends in the military supported him in that decision but were appalled by IBB’s lack of decisiveness. The US Ambassador Lannon Walker and the British Ambassador were brought to Aso Rock and spoke directly to the Military Council.Then IBB stopped the election; but his dithering made the impact worse. The NEC and Nwosu acted correctly and followed the Constitutional mandate to the letter.. However, this decision to cancel the election was a political decision, not an electoral procedural problem. It was not an internal Nigerian problem but part of a much wider international crossroad for the country.
IBB never wanted to go but sent away by Orkar and those patriotic diligent service men, actually they should be crowned as those that lay their lives for democracy
1993 SDP +NRC that was when we practice politics in Nigeria, look at the roll call in those parties back then, nothing like you are a Yoruba, Hausa or Ibo, those are galaticos from any angle of the country, where you can from doesn't matter, No Money bag and No Godfatherism, what we have now with PDP and APC is not political parties, they are football teams.
Seriously! Is/Was Sowore that naive? IBB should have retired Abacha? Seriously? And he wanted/wants to be president? Is he that vacant or just being mischievous?
There was free but unfair election. IBB wanted his friend (Abiola) to win. Abacha prefers his nephew (Tofa). So the military was divided. Clearly Abacha who made IBB eventually asked him and his Transitional council to 'step aside'. Abacha was the MAN!
This guy is right. Abacha installed IBB and was the main man running the government, as Prof. Nwosu stressed at 4:28. The coup that brought IBB into power or removed Buhari and the multiple coups that were averted or countered during IBB regime were led by Abacha. IBB respected Abacha so much and even feared him because almost all the GOCs or military commanders were loyal to him than any body. Do you know that Abacha was also a full star general in 1993 while IBB was still head of state? That has never happened in the history of Nigeria. IBB realize he couldn't do without Abacha, so both of them agreed to work together and that IBB will step aside, to allow Abacha take power from Shonekan!
What the prof failed to recognize is that Babangida was a Maradona. He and his cabals knew what they had already planned. He was only pretending in the presence of the prof. All is nw history though dirty one.
President Buhari did not get the chance to steal money in his previous military tenor, so he decided to tighten the economy in Nigeria, all in the pretends that he is fighting corruption; which has created the opportunity for him to deep his hands into the National treasury without being noticed. Hence he refused to declare his assets before his election into office - although, the truth will be evident when he leaves office and suddenly becomes wealthy, have in mind that he (Buhari) could not afford his election fees.
This man isn't all truthful. He expected the media to announce the results that he as the NEC chairman could not announced. Why didn't he also go to US and announce as asked by the interviewer?
So, you did not hear him say that there was a court injunction that prevented him from making such an announcement? And you did not also hear him talk several times about CONCLUDING the election. And before he could announce it on 25th, they sacked him on 23rd
I don't know how elections work in Nigeria but in Kenya ...The media doesn't have any power to announce the election....But everyone is allowed to see count and the verify the papers as soon as the gate is closed and counting starts in every polling station.... You can't blame nwosu he is just following the law...
Yoruba people have u seen that the ibos are not ur problem but tumubu and the hausa fulanis? These are simple histories you can cross check. From experienced it shows that the yorubas only respect the hausa fulanis or the yorubas in power in Nigeria
The interviewer is not professional at all; he interjects at a point when the Prof. was about making informative points. he did it too often. Babangida shouted on me.....He never allowed us to know what follows!
@@jonkeedatacollection People like you are Nigeria's problems. You don't like others to have their own views. Even Sowore himself is guilty of this behaviour where he shouts others down, deriles them but doesn't want to be called out himself.
The trademark rudeness of Sowore is missing in this interview, maybe because the professor did not take offense at the initial confrontation at the public forum. An yet, what a poor interviewer Sowore has proved to be: possessed by his ideological obsessions, he could not even pose the all-important question of what the prof thinks were his mistakes, what he might do differently if given another opportunity, and what could have been done better. I think that Nwosu succeeded in channeling himself using Sahara Reporters. The interview was a wasted opportunity for a scoop.
He talked about everyone’s involvements but not on why he chose to make the announcements of the annulled fairest elections in Nigeria. God sees everything people do not.
Are you even abreast of history? was he the one who annulled the election? Did you even listen to all he said in this interview? You are something else.
I am surprised on the level. of incompetence and lack of courage of NEC chairman, by not announcing the winner of 1993 presidential election. Why did he attend the security meeting he wasn't invited. This is a high level of gullibility. He could have allowed them to stop him from conducting the election than to waste our resources without the courage to pronounce the winner and let the ruling class decide either to handover or not. No need buying the book. In the interview, chairman demonstrated a high of fear for his personal safety at the expenses of his fellow Nigerians. Take a critical review on the economic waste thereafter. My opinion. Christopher Ejem, founder IDEA for African Development （IFAD）.
What hasn't an Igbo man done for the Yorubas to get to the top positions of the country but, up until now, we are still seen as their worst enemies? If I were they, I would have known very sincerely that their best friends are the Igbos but, the likes of thief Tinubu and his criminal son in Britain by the name, Adeyinka grandson won't see that as a better reason....well, God has the final judgement in all!
@@ubaniubani4054 Tribalistic muppets like you have started, was it not another Igbo person LIKE YOU, Arthur Nzeribe who was used by Abacha to file the petition that brought about the annulment?

@@futurefxacademy8973 All persons that involved in the June 12 elections mentioned names and written books too, even the overall head which is Babangida. However, no one ever said it's my fault or I'm wrong in any way. I said it because I was old enough to know what transpired, If you want to get into it with me, then you must tell me how old you are.

An yet, what a poor interviewer Sowore has proved to be: possessed by his ideological obsessions, he could not even pose the all-important question of what the prof thinks were his mistakes, what he might do differently if given another opportunity, and what could have been done better. I think that Nwosu succeeded in channeling himself using Sahara Reporters. The interview was a wasted opportunity for a scoop.
Why didn't you go and interview the man in his house as a professional that you are? Madness!
PERFECTLY SAID
Listening to Nwosu is like listening to a little kid explaining why the dog ate his homework. Shame to your scholarship
He talked about everyone’s involvements but not on why he chose to make the announcements of the annulled fairest elections in Nigeria.
God sees everything people do not.
Are you even abreast of history? was he the one who annulled the election? Did you even listen to all he said in this interview? You are something else.
Fool
I am surprised on the level. of incompetence and lack of courage of NEC chairman, by not announcing the winner of 1993 presidential election. Why did he attend the security meeting he wasn't invited. This is a high level of gullibility. He could have allowed them to stop him from conducting the election than to waste our resources without the courage to pronounce the winner and let the ruling class decide either to handover or not. No need buying the book. In the interview, chairman demonstrated a high of fear for his personal safety at the expenses of his fellow Nigerians. Take a critical review on the economic waste thereafter. My opinion. Christopher Ejem, founder IDEA for African Development （IFAD）.
Announce it as what please? Didn't you hear him say he was already stripped of that power before the announcement?
Under Abacha???he can't even do such under the jubril of Sudan's civilian administration
Totally biased opinion. Can you do what the Prof did? Armed chair critic. Some of your type when given opportunity are the most coward ever
Didn’t you hear when he said he was summoned by the National Security Council
Typing genius…in a military regime
Zoo
What hasn't an Igbo man done for the Yorubas to get to the top positions of the country but, up until now, we are still seen as their worst enemies? If I were they, I would have known very sincerely that their best friends are the Igbos but, the likes of thief Tinubu and his criminal son in Britain by the name, Adeyinka grandson won't see that as a better reason....well, God has the final judgement in all!
See you with your usual derogatory comments, calling Tinubu names as if your Igbo politicians are saints.
@@olatundebakare5400 funny, even christ himself wasn't seen or recognised as the messiah, how much more, the Igbos!
@@ubaniubani4054 Tribalistic muppets like you have started, was it not another Igbo person LIKE YOU, Arthur Nzeribe who was used by Abacha to file the petition that brought about the annulment?
@@simonc1521 cretins and bozos will always prove their stupidity on social media and that's exactly what you are doing and I personally won't cease to attend your kind of foible attitude....so, be wise, Simon (a.k.a..John)!
@@ubaniubani4054 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you should go back to school and learn to use grammatical words properly instead of jumbling them up so as to sound intelligent. By the way, may be you should find out why your videos have just 1 view LMAOOOOOO. You are such a waste of space. It's bad enough if your videos have 100 views which goes to show how ridiculous and jobless you must have been with your hate speech. LMAOOOOOO for some reasons, you got me laughing......
P.S Don't even bother responding back, you wont ever be lucky to get me reading, YOU ARE BLOCKED.
Don't trust all he said.
if someone his capable of mentioning names of both those who are alive and dead without been scared and you still said they should trust all he said , he even said that is written in his book
@@futurefxacademy8973 All persons that involved in the June 12 elections mentioned names and written books too, even the overall head which is Babangida. However, no one ever said it's my fault or I'm wrong in any way. I said it because I was old enough to know what transpired, If you want to get into it with me, then you must tell me how old you are.
Definitely I shouldn’t trust what you typed
Tell us what to trust then.
In the first place you are an idiot of the highest level.
Your father can never match into prof. Nwosu’S shoe.
This man is not clean as well. Is a traitor.
Like your father
Your father can never stand his integrity and honesty.
It’s part of that injustice Igbos have been fighting against.
They celebrate Abiola’s victory and nobody talks about the man who maintained sanity in conducting that election.
No reasonable person would talk about June 12th election without mentioning this great man.
Prof. Humphrey Nwosu you are a great legend and will be remembered by many Nigerians who cherishes integrity and honesty.
