The real heroes of democracy we should celebrate today are those ones who fought, suffered, jailed and died for Democracy.
You will see different pictures of different hero at different time, either when taken away to prison or when he came back from the military prisons of those heartless people in charge then.

Just to refresh your memory, that Mko Abiola, was denied the mandate given to him by the people. Gani Fawehinmi; Fela Anikulapo-Kuti; Beko Ransome-Kuti, where some of those whose lives where harrassed day in and out for speaking the truth and for the people.
We the Fastnews Nigeria team pray for souls and the other unsang heros continue to rest in Peace our real heroes.
