@bolded...a little research will enlighten you


What concerns Biafra with this. Undisputedly Saro wiwa was a Igbo hater till his death. In fighting for the Ogoni,a noble fight,He needn't paint us black before achieving what he wanted to. In anything the Igbo are fighting for they don't paint the minorities black but it's always the other way round with the minorities. Okay,after all of it was has it gained the Ogoni,where is He today?
i know this will surprise u but contrary to what u think people dont go around thinking and bothering themselves all day about igbos

He play the game and he paid the dues with his lie and to those saying he the never know he wAs an All round hater of ndi-igbo,should do a little research on who he is? What he did? And his death!
Gbam! People don't know how the illustrious sons of the ND have used their influence to divide the two regions by subtly preaching Igbo hate. Today,where are the Ogoni in terms of a better environment?!!!! You don't go about wishing ill on others and expect good to come your way. Good riddance to Saro wiwa,nonsense man who even education could not liberate from tribalism!

Guy u are just pained that Saro Wiwa did not support r Biafra struggle and ideology. He believed in the people of Niger delta and fought for his people. Although he was executed, he is far better than Ojukwu who allowed 2 million of his people to be killed, and still ran away. One thing u should keep at the back of ur mind is that the Biafra and Niger delta struggle are completely different, they don't share one ideology with u. They are realistic. They know the struggle that is more realistic and they also know the one that is not realistic and filled with delusions. That is why they will never share ur Biafra ideology.

And where are the links of same better environment? He fought and stood his ground against illegality. Even when bribed to forget it and he said No. But ur ojukwu ram away after slaughtering many. Coward he is. From time immemorial, ogoni never wanted anything with the Ibos(I before others) and it remains so till today. Is it by force to support ur Biafra? We have our own struggle and Niger Delta at large. He was executed but his manhood still stands till today. Compare ogoni struggle your struggle, which u can say is more successful. Ogoni can never be part of Biafra. We don't need it.

Look here young man,you're well known to type nonsense here. Before quoting me have it in mind i am an advocate of an all igbo country with any willing ethnicity. The rest can go their way,no qualms,so don't gimme that childish nonsense of being pained ND doesn't support Biafra. One more thing,always try and comment without typing Biafra

I don't know y igbo tends to blame everyone for their misfortune. Yoruba is ur problem, Hausa is ur enemy, Niger Delta is your problem. Ogoni too is ur problem.
U claimed you are the best but the first republic that was declared in this country by Issac adaka bori, ironsi and ojukwu scuttled. Released by Gowan and there after you seek for support from Niger Delta to fight a war they never wanted. U accused okiro for abandoned properties declaration. Everyone is ur problem.

Which oil spill for your community or Aquatic Life is depleting.
Jonathan was a Marine scientist but he never implemented any Pet project to curb Environmental issues.

Because he now became a politician and paid money to people that eventually used the money judiciously to oust him in 2015.

wetin Una want take gain my sympathy. Agricultural produce no dey grow but Weed dey sell.

Just incase am a Niger Deltan but I had to go a bit north to leave my greener pastures in rocky side of Life. I Hate politicians and African politics.

It hurts me after paying school fees avoiding Vices, na only gra-gra people they ride 2016 vehicles.

I must say that some Igbos are very unbearable.

Ojukwu wanted a Biafra for the Igbo people and wanted Saro-Wiwa to join him, Saro-Wiwa knew the Ogonis and Igbo have nothing in common, not culturally or linguistically. Any decision he was to take had to be strategic. He opted for Nigeria and abandoned Biafra and that has become his crime in the eyes of Igbos. It is a crime not to join Igbos in Biafra...What a people!!!

Why are you throwing a tantrum like a petulant child? What concerns Biafra with this? People of little minds are always quick to talk of the millions who died because mostly Igbo died. It feels good,right? But wait,after all Saro did,even siding with the North against the seceding eastern region, over 30,000 Ogoni still died during that same war,no doubt recompense for disturbing the federal government. On top of that Saro was still hanged for his troubles. Bro,go and sit down. With all the education and media you know nothing!

Stupid Igbo fool. You are very miserable. Saro Wiwa single-handedly put the Ogonis into national and worldwide recognition by standing for what is right and getting himself killed and his people liberated in the process.

What did Ojukwu do?? Ojukwu got his people killed and ran away. Some Igbos are just very stupid.

And here comes the Ikwerre. I am not a fool. He did well for his people but for the Igbo hate he got what he deserved. shikena!

Yes it sounds immature because in Nigeria most of our renowned leaders and heroes have always been stupid fellows at the back. From Ahmadu Bello to even to Adaka Boro to Ayiri Emami and to Saro wiwa. That is why we are still where we are.

Re: Ken Saro-wiwa's 75th Posthumous Birthday Is Today by discusant: 10:23am On Oct 10, 2016
Tanko Yakassi threw the bombshell recently.
He said when Biafra was declared, some leaders of the minority groups in the old eastern region journeyed to Kaduna and pleaded with then northern region governor, Hassan Katsina, to influence Gowon to carve out the minority groups from Biafra.

Shortly after that, Rivers and Cross River States were created by Gowon.

Today, it's like those Southsouth leaders shot themselves and their unborn generations in the spinal cord.

Biafra defeated by their sabotage, the Hassan Katsinas of northern Nigeria occupied billions of dollars worth oil blocks in the south and grudgingly agreed to give them 13% from derivation.

Adieu Ken Saro.

Since you cannot argue you try to whip up sentiments. What concerns Biafra with the issue? You people think everybody is like you who dwells on 1967. Wake up 1967 is gone. Don't look at the Igbo through the lens of the war of 1967. You're mistaking.

Lol, Yimu, u did not even care to blame any Igbo leader for ur problems, u only blamed leaders from other tribes. U igbos be behaving like other tribes or Nigerians in general owes u an apology. We owe u nothing. The Niger delta owes u nothing. There is south east and south south. Stay in ur landlocked south east and stop disturbing the South south people. Oil thieves and parasites. U people will continue languishing in ur current misery and u will still have no solution to ur problems, but continue blaming till u get tired. Leeches
