I read a Poem and the comment made on Sahara Reporter on Ruben, I wonder what happened to the Ruben in question. Does any one know the Ruben? I am too young to know.
The comments were not very good about the Ruben, Please tell me all you know about Ruben of the Poem on Sahara Reporters

You never get that feeling of appreciation for the people you are standing for. When you stand for the truth, you do not see anyone there for you on the day of attack. Rather, they will all be jostling for political appointments and avoid you like plague. How many people wanted to be associated with Fela Ransome-Kuti? At whatever level you find yourself fighting for Nigerians, you end up feeling so empty because they are never there to join you to fight the fight. So why not Reuben? I am sure years of emptiness finally took their toll on the poor man. It takes courage to fight for Nigerians. You either decide to go about it expecting no appreciation except the presence of students at your burial. OR you decide to go on fighting in loneliness, emptiness and expect beautiful words you will not see at your grave or give up and do Reuben style. Why not, if not?

Rest in Peace Rueben.
