I'm new to this.

Does/did Glasgow University give degrees in accountancy? Does/did ICAS give 'distinctions'? 46.208.104.190 (talk) 23:23, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Without citations, this article appears to be unbalanced. There may be ample sources for all claims made but they need to be inserted as inline references. A balanced article should also address criticisms of MKO - such as Fela's song about ITT under his leadership -- "International T'ief T'ief". Rexparry sydney

Death

The section about his death seems a little heavy with conspiracy theories that have no sources. I'm not even saying the CIA didn't kill the guy, but to imply they did without sources violates NPOV. ColdIn02492 (talk) 02:22, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Meaning of "Kashimawo"

The article gives the meaning of "Kashimawo" as "Let us wait and see", citing another wiki page (nigeria.name). Not only is that a suboptimal citation, but even that page says the translation is "Let's watch him"

In Nigeria by Richard Bourne the translation "let's watch and see if this one lives" is given. This has quite a different tone.

The opening of Abiola's article on the Dictionary of National Biography does give the translation "Let us wait and see." https://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780195382075.001.0001/acref-9780195382075-e-0033

It would be really helpful if someone (a Yoruba speaker?) could clarify.
