Even though Sean02's question has nothing to do with the thread, he asked a viable question. Wole Soyinka spend 30 months in jail for Biafran cause.

Revisionists at work again

seanet02:

Wole Soyinka did not go to jail because of Biafra abi?

Katsumoto:


Come on now guys; must every thread turn into an e-battle? If a Nigerian, whether Igbo, Yoruba, Efik, or Kanuri does something commendable, we shouldn't have to denigrate him/her or make comparisons with others.

aloy/emeka:

I am not denigrating the military officer but Wole Soyinka's contribution should be swept under the carpet. Also, Ambassador Ralph Obioha nearly lost his life over Abiola's cause until he was smuggled out of Nigeria through Seme border.

its funny most igbo people do not know about such people yet we are accuses of sounding our trumpet all the time, nice thread

This is the biggest problem of the Igbo race- "oka n'ma na ama". Always trying to be a hero,,,,,,,from clowns like Nzeogwu and co,,,,,to a naive Aguyi Ironsi and to the greatest fool of all, mr. one nigeria himself- Zik  

This guy has no business advocating for the realeased of abiola Well Abacha did well by firing him. Abacha should have thrown him in jail as well. When
Uwazurike was jailed, did any non-Igbo advocate for his release? Thanks to senator Chukwumerije who fought for the release of the massob leader.

I have been saying this that the biggest problem for the Igbo man is always trying to do the right thing for everybody everytime, even at the detriment of the Igbo race!

You easily forgot Fajuyi, innit? But do you see other people saying "they play hero"?

PhysicsMHD:


Not to get involved (I'm not Yoruba or Igbo anyway), but I might as well point out something:



"Lagos — A rights group, Human Rights Defenders Network, HURIDEN, has called on the Federal Government to unconditionally release the detained MASSOB leader, Chief Ralph Uwazurike, just as it alleged that his continued detention is politically motivated.

It, however, raised alarm over the deteriorating health of Uwazurike, just as it accused a Governor from the South East of allegedly masterminding the continued detention of the MASSOB leader.

Also condemning the continued detention of the MASSOB leader, president of the Campaign for Democracy, CD, Dr Joe Okei-Odumakin said "it is glaring that Chief Uwazurike is a victim of political manipulation. He is suffering untold hardship and he is being illegally detained over spurious charges."

Addressing newsmen in Lagos, chairman of HURIDEN, Mr Ayodele Akele, alleged that the trial of Mr Uwazurike was politically motivated, noting that his transfer from the Owerri Prison to Kuje Prison, Abuja was a thing of worry."

That's all.

Thanks for the Info. Though this doesn't change my view on some silly Igbos who are always trying to be hero.

alex101:


This is not about Fajuyi (though I like him), but rather my comment was geared towards clowns in Igboland like this Madueke. He should have just kept quiet and loot like every other person in the Abacha regime.

BTW, Diya is from abeokuta, just like abiola. So going by this, Diya should be the one doing the "abiola release-lobbying" and not him (Madueke).
