More on the Slave abolition agreement

Funmi Kuti, madam tinubu, aunty ayo, what about madam Tejuosho? These women are legends, and real business women. Strong and hardworking.

Nice to see a pic of Bode Thomas, swagger ti poju.

Why is sijuade's belly so big?

That Ogunkanmi was a very strapping young man. The physique and everything on point. Too bad he got paralyzed.

Boro, ruggedly handsome. True rebel with a cause.

Kudos to abbk00 shadrack and others, lets keep it clean with enough back story to explain the pictures
I'm glad you all love the thread, as they say, a picture paints a thousand words

@ the bolded - that's what I keep telling these young black pseudo-feministic whor.es who think African women were slaves to their husbands back in the day...

At least, the Yoruba culture gave women equal rights and we also worship feminine gods...

Yoruba women have been running things from early and they never needed a messed up western ideology to do that...

God bless these cultured, traditional, and independent female go-getters of the past...

I am a man of peace, of ideas appalled by the denigrating Poverty of my people, who live on richly, endowed land, distressed by their political marginalisation and economic strangulation; angered by the devastation of their land, their intimate heritage, anxious to preserve their right to life and to a decent living, and determined to usher to this country as a whole a fair and just democratic system which protects everyone and every ethnic group and gives us all a valid claim to human civilization, I have devoted all my intellectual and material resource; my very life to a cause in which I have total belief and from which I cannot be blackmailed or intimidated.

I have no doubt at all about the ultimate success of my cause no matter the trials and tribulations, which I and those who believe with me may encounter on our journey. Neither imprisonment nor death can stop our ultimate victory.
-Ken Saro Wiwa-


When death came in Port Harcourt prison in 1995, Ken Saro Wiwa, graduate of the University of Ibadan had some words to those who were putting the black shroud over his face: "You can kill the messenger, you cannot kill the message, you cannot kill the message." The world still remembers the messenger and the message!

reminiscence

Gen. Ironsi's first address to the nation. January 1966.

Sitting L-R: Lt. Col. Hassan Katsina, Lt. Col. Emeka Ojukwu, Lt. Col. David Ejoor, Commodore JEA Wey, Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon.

Standing: Air Force ADC Lt. Andrew Nwankwo
(He was with Ironsi when he was killed but escaped at the urging of Ironsi's Army ADC Lt. Sani Bello with whom he had a pact to save each other's life depending on which section of the nation conducted the next coup after the January 1966 coup)

Quaritch: Major Sanni Abacha and Maryam after their wedding in 1969

Very beautiful couple. Can't believe this is Abacha. Very handsome young man!

Oliver de Coque was a master in appearing exentric on his covers.
How do you like this 1980 version of his majesty, complete with
feather- duster and crown, shining like a new crowned king.
