World record: Gbajabiamila celebrates Hilda Baci's tenacity



The Speaker of the House of Representatives Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has congratulated Hilda Effiong Baci for her record-breaking 100-hour cooking marathon on Monday.
According to the Speaker, the feat could not have been possible but for the tenacity and the Nigerian can-do spirit that shone through her.

Saying that Nigerians are very proud of her accomplishment, Gbajabiamila noted that besides placing Nigeria on the global map of resilience, Ms Baci has, through her sheer determination and resilience, inspired millions of youth around the world toward the fulfilment of their dreams.

While wishing her more success in her chosen endeavours, Gbajabiamila expressed appreciation to everyone that contributed to the success story of Hilda Baci, which everyone is celebrating today.

The speech that Leeds Abiola to Jail

Image
Abiola who was frustrated by one full year (less just a day) of futile attempts to reclaim his mandate, delivered the speech that ultimately led to his arrest, incarceration and death. In the speech, Abiola proclaimed himself the President and Commander-in-Chief’ of the Federal republic of Nigeria and proclaimed “a new Government of National Unity”. He also “reconvened” the National Assembly, “reinstated” all dismissed governors, and “reconstituted” the state assemblies and local government councils.A After the speech, Sani Abacha, the military head of state, declared him wanted for treason and ordered his arrest. He was incarcerated for four years, and he died on July 7, 1998 — the day he was to be freed.
