Second Woolwich killer identified as Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale, A Nigerian

The other Woolwich killer has been identified as Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale, 22, of Greenwich, southeast London (Pictured left). Like Michael Adebolajo, he's also a British citizen of Nigerian descent, though not much is known about his family.

More info about Michael Olumide Akinbiyi Adebolajo (pictured right). He was born on December 10, 1984, at Kings College Hospital in Lambeth, South London. His Nigerian-born father, Anthony Adebolajo was a student at the time, and went on to become an NHS nurse.

His mother, Tina, the niece of a university law professor in Benin, West Africa, was a housewife but she too dedicated herself to public duty by becoming a social worker. He has three younger siblings: a brother named Jeremiah and two sisters named Blessing and Christiana. 


Michael was born into a Christiam family but embraced Islam around the age of 16. He attended the University in Greenwich, South-East London, and was once locked up for violent behavior.

CRASH, CRASH AND MORE CRASH.


CRASH, CRASH AND MORE CRASH.
 A minute silence in memory of the departed souls, one apiece.
        While observing that in memory of the over 150 victims of the unfortunate crash of Dana Airways craft at Lagos, its natural to consider the spate of this disasters in Nigeria in the last decade. Obviously, the rot that has affected all other aspects of Nigerian state got to our airways too. While its a long known fact in that most Nigerian roads are highway to hereafter, the airways that has been the alternative to those that can afford it is gaining the same notoriety. The chance that you will arrive your destination in any journey in Nigeria, by any means is getting slimmer. Come to think of the multiple crashes that happened along the Lagos-Ibadan highway, a predecessor to the crash, the wise option might be to stay glued wherever you are. Except you have Boko haram threatening you.

was ignorable, or why else will the judge decide to
look aside?
UTOMI: You call taking over ten billion naira an
ignorable act? Eteh got her hands burnt for less
than a billion.

ONE NIGERIA?

One Nigeria?

In considering the question of the
possibility or otherwise of dividing the country
along ethno-religious lines, it seems to me the
appropriate question is HAS NIGERIA EVER BEEN A
NATION UNITED BY FEELINGS OF NATIONALISM?
This question is most important as you
can never divide what has never been one. If
Nigeria has been nothing but "mere geographical
expression" then a division would hurt no
nationalistic feeling or deep rooted feeling of
oneness as there has never been one. On the other
hand, a nation that has deep rooted ties and united
in patriotic feeling cannot be easily divided. People
will die for it. In answering this crucial question,
recourse must be made to the explicit interactions
between the various elements constituting the
Nigerian constituency, historically and presently.

conjured Nigeria in 1914,
