Keep speaking English have FG finally cleaned up the oil mess in ogoni land?

The same country in which he fought against the igbo's was the same country that killed him

Have the ogoni's gotten what they have been clamouring for which is sovereignty?

He fought a just cause only for his selfish interest and thus he choose to betray us IGBOS

When Isaac Boro Declared the Republic of Niger Delta in 1966 , Aguiyi Ironsi was the one that jailed him.


Stop looking for Pity from Anyone. Igbos are the biggest Betrayals

No he was not. When he had opportunity to fight for freedom he was busy fighting the freedom fighters. Later he started to fight a lost battle.

GOOD MORNING Ken!

Formerly , there was nothing like south east/ south south. It was called eastern Nigeria/Biafra.
You don't know your history so its clear you have no direction where you are going.
I wish you a safe landing in your world of ignorance. Ksw wasn't lucky enough to right his wrongs, hope you will be.


Well now it's south south in case you're still living in the past, let the dead rest

Talking about Fulani-asslicking, the following comes to mind...

Nnamdi Azikiwe, a ceremomial, hand-shaking figure head and Tafawa Balewa's "boy" in the first republic.

Alex Ekwueme, Shagari's vice in the second republic.

Sylvester Ugoh, Tofa's running mate in the aborted third republic.

I can bet my life that you are don't live in the south-east region, just like many of your people out there.

Most likely, na either Lagos, Abuja or Kano you go dey live.

Go to the Fulani states in the North and see a lot of your Igbo folks lickin' Fulani asses to make ends meet. Have you ever wondered what scares a lot of your people out of their enclaves

Idiot!

"I was a graduate student when the cataclysmic events of 1966 happened. Apart from my revulsion at the needless murders of the innocent, nothing upset me more than Ojukwu's dishonest formulations and his attempt to kidnap the Ogoni, among others, into his Igbo empire called "biafra." I knew that he pinned his hopes of the economic viability of "biafra" on the oil of the Ogoni and the Ijaw. I rebelled. I became Secretary of a small committee which met nights in Port Harcourt and issued a communique calling on Gowon to create a Rivers State by decree.

The same oil and wealth he never enjoyed and Ogonis may never do.
Revisionist history. War was never about oil cos it wasn't SE's main source of income.
Fast forward to 1999, all SE NASS members voted for 13% derivation.
All 19 northern govs went to court to challenge 13% derivation and onshore/offshore dichotomy-again all IGBO governors sided with SS even though 13% would mean less money to the SE governors.
This fallacy that SE wants ur oil is hogwash because they have supported u guys in ur quest to keep ur oil proceeds without asking for anything in return.

Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu warned you guys of Ogoniland, but you would not listen.
"Good morning, Ogoni", was the last greeting Ken Saro-Wiwa heard before he was executed.
Wake up, Nigeria... you do not belong together.
Ken learned late... open ya eyes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KEN SARO-WIWA.

HBD to the late writer, environmental activist, businessman,politician, and a social crusader, KEN SARO-WIWA,who died as sacrificial lamb for the freedom of the Ogoni People,Niger Delta,and the world minority at large.

Royal Dutch/Shell in collaboration with the Nigerian Government began oil exploration in Ogoni land by 1958.
From 1976-1991 there were reportedly 2,976 oil spills of over 2.1 million barrels of oil in Ogoniland.Because of the sickness,death, hunger and farmine as a result of the ecological war on Ogoni land.Ken Saro-Wiwa,the President of MOSOP pressented the Ogoni Bill Of Rights, that demanded among others,a fair shair of the proceed of oil extraction,increasing autonomy for the Ogoni People and remediation of environmental damages on the Ogoniland by foreign oil corporation.But they killed him,that his argitation was baseless.
Hence,this group aim at ensuring the implementation of the Ogoni Bill Of Rights and to recnsider that #ill_judgemnt

So fighting for his people also includes stealing the properties of Igbos in Portharcourt, that is not even Ogoniland?

Boro had no reason to declare republic of Niger delta except for the financial inducement he was getting from enemies of eastern Nigeria at that time. His republic had no accepted boundaries, and there is no way a nation would have tolerated such moves without severe punishment. Why haven't you tried declaring another republic of niger delta since after Boro was killed like a dog?
Ironsi was nice to Boro, he could have been lynched on the streets of PH at that time.
