kettykin: The poor self image of ikwerre people will finally pan out by 2015 to 2019, port Harcourt is a city that would have been the oil capital of Africa hosting oil and gas companies doing business within the continent , it would have had a faster growth rate than lagos and abuja with an oil and power corridor, many petrochemical industries, gas to electric power station ,gas plants, fertilizer mega plants, plastic plants but all that seems to be finally lost to men of very small mindsets who for a greater part of their existence as an oil and gas power state dissipated energy over their real identity and quarrelled with their next door neighbours whom they have lived peacefully since the creation of the world.
2014 they are still quarrelling over their identity while port Harcourt decays and the whole world migrates to shale oil and electric cars something that the middle easterner is gradually preparing for the worst by diversifying into tourism and information technology, the worst of it is that the ikwerre people can't go back to fishing and farming because their land which they treasured above age long brother hood is gone to oil pollution.
By the time oil is gone rivers indigenes would have realised they got nothing for the black gold except the enmity they created for them selves through the greed and short sightedness of their elders.
The LNG which now has its headquarters in Ikwerre land and paying tax to Rivers Government was purely and wholly the initiative of the last igbo CEO who single handedly pushed his way through bureaucratic red tapism to have LNG move its headquarters to port Harcourt despite opposition and threats from yoruba staff and no support from the presidency.
How did the headquarters get to lagos in the first instance, hints:Gowon and Awolowo regime who go about deceiving the whole world they were fighting to liberate Niger deltans from their igbo neighbours with whom they have have lived peaceably with since pre adamic age with no history of war
Shell bp which initially had its headquarters in owerri later to port Harcourt now has its headquarters in lagos of all places which is not an oil producing state or region, rather than wonderful ikwerre people to fight to have the oil company bring back the headquarters back to their land they are engaging in the worst form of sell out ever in mankind by fighting through their representative chibuike Amaechi the only president ever to have come from Niger delta and the neighbour state of
Bayelsa and this they are doing with hausa fulani and yoruba politicians who in the first place cornered the oil wealth of niget deltans and went to an ignoble extent of ceding a high priced part of niger delta land bakassi peninsular to cameroon

If Ken saro wiwa and Isaac Boro could be forgiven as a first offenders who foolishly fought against his neighbours cause with out recourse to the future but what about chibuike Amaechi an ikwerre born politician who is presently doing everything humanly possible to undermine the Jonathan presidency could he be forgiven even after he has back stabbed his benefactor, Peter Odilli whose large heatedness is what has made Amaechi whom he is today.
Notice the greatest supporters of Goodluck Jonathan today are the igbos whom have been accused of domination, colonisation, exploitation and even victimisation of niger deltans before the war and which some ignorant niger deltans still speak about
Is there any thing wrong with ikwerre people

Jubal Theophilus: Ken Saro Wiwa "GOODMORNIN".
U r a man of no vision if not u wld have seen what Ojukwu saw and hidded to his warnin and advice. A lesson 4 the pple of Niger delta & Jonathan.i repeat, "Divide this country". On Aburi we stand.

patrickmuf: Asari Dokubo, read and learn...talking about passionate activists, do we still have them in 9ja?

Orlando Owoh:
It's because the tendency of you Igbo to always claim you own everything that made the Rivers State Government to change the names of some streets named after Igbo to those of Rivers men.

cKaiser: This was the same man Ojuku went to supervise his death and mock while about to die.

Well as karma would have it, Ojukwu himself met a disgraceful end died deaf dumb and lonely

Ken Saro Wiwa lives on in our hearts


Saro Wiwa loved by all and a symbol of the struggle of the minorities who died for what he believed in while Ojukwu would forever remain a cantankerous coward who fled from and abandoned what he claimed he believed in

otokx:

They think its a game of monopoly.

delegiwa: The rate at which topics degenerate to tribal wars on Nairaland is alarming. Look at a good topic on Ken Saro Wiwa - a man seen a martyr by his people and for very good reasons too!

You only need to go to Ogoniland and see the devastation caused by drilling.

There are bodies of water that will not be fit for consumption forever!

There are lands this will never tolerate vegetation for eternity!
There are little children that will never make it to their 6th birthday due to the pollution in their backyard!

Those are the issues and not if Saro Wiwa was a saint or not. The question should be: The 'cause' he was fighting for, was it for real? Of course it was. The devastation in their land is for real people. The fact that Saro Wiwa didn't join Ojukwu should not make us hate him. He may have had his reasons. It is not for us to judge him. By the way, who said the same devastation wouldn't happen under Biafra?

The issues he fought for are glaring for all to see. The ICJ has indicted Shell - the same thing Ken said and all these injustices against the Ogonis are not hidden anymore. Let's leave this man to rest in peace abeg.

Oh by the way, I'm from Arochukwu!

Yet the ibos wll claimed rivers r their brodas. We did nt created this thread to heap insults on ken saro wiwa by ibos, we r remembering him. He choosed his own way nd we love him. Truth is always bitter nd d ibos wll never admit it. Same course saro wiwa died for still affect ibo oil producing communities. Nguta, izombe for example suffer similar fate. I hv been there nd u need to see seizure of land nd ecological devastation. I understand ibos hate ogoni nd rivers people badly but it shudn't b here when we are remembering an outstanding human rite activist.R.I.P my brother

Limaoscar: Ken Saro wiwa himself was not innoncent. How about His Ogoni kinsmen/Chiefs who were murdered in cold blood on his directives and incitements? He also lies through His teeth about Shell ( I will leave that for another day) Shell has divested all her assets in Ogoni land as I type this and let's see if that will change the corruption amongst the Ogoni elites. At least I know that even Ken Prior to His death also benefitted hansomely from the Shell oil lagesse to the Ogonis when the going was good.

S
orry for whatever this is a great topic but I only replied his coment, why bringing Ojukwu into this thread.
I still feel for the man and the people of Nigerdelta expecially the Ogoni people.
