hmm.. i am touched. so we had such intelligence in our history..

i am sure d last words of most of our politicians today would be,

Judge, abeg no kill me. i get plenty land and money.. please, ther is God o.. take all my money.. spare my life.. i didnt squander more than abacha na.. haba mana.. ( then kneels, cries)


cowards.. that have to read off every manifestos from pieces of papers prepared by a secretary.
you made sense. I agree with you. That is the kind of speech that makes a good leader even without the fanfare. Politics today, is just economics and selfishness.

Ken Saro wiwa is an epitome example of how a country and its government should not let a foreign company exploit them all in the name of Oil , money. Its a trajectory case of an economic prophet seeing the harm a non indeginous company can wreck on indigenes of the location where the company So-Sits.



While I never knew Ken saro wiwa. Having x-rayed his non-violent campaign and struggle for light for his people and the way he his not been imortalised. I am soo worried and had to ask myself several questions about PDP , APC, Nigerian Masses

1. Has Jonathan read about Ken's history?
2. If yes then why has he not used this opportunity to effect change and actualize that goal Ken Saro Wiwa wanted. Why has he failed to realized that this is the time he needs to look beyond Umbrellized covering, so as to do something great for his nation
3. Why has the People Democratic Party not made shell face up for its crimes? Even the united state in 2009 made shell faced for the court for ken saro wiwa killings



Looking at ken saro wiwa struggle and the way he was killed, coupled with the fact that the Nigerian leaders had Saro Wiwa and his movement sentenced to death without option of Appeal all for money, I am troubled that A PROGRESSIVE WILL NEVER RULE THIS NATION

KEN SARO WIWA was a true progressive like GENERAL MUHAMMAD BUHARI. Ken was recognized, valued and cherished by the international community at larged, same way General Muhammad Buhari, Tinubu, Fashola have been worshipped and valued by the international communities.

For a country whose oil resources could have lead it to become one of the wealthiest in Africa, the Niger Delta region remains an impoverished conflict zone and is still dominated by the transnational oil companies which continue to pollute the area’s water and resources.

The memory and the courageous efforts of Ken Saro-Wiwa would live on. I know if he was alive he would have been a member of the All Progressive Congress. Sir Ken, i would like to tell you that even at your death you are already a member. Saro wiwa I love you. But the APC Progressives love you most.


Fellow Nairalanders, the story of ken saro wiwa is a valid reason as to why we need to vote APC to power come 2015. Let me live you with the modified words of a heroic progressive by name Chinua Nkelom Achebe

And if you mean twisting the article to suit my propaganda then i strongly refute your claims as the article clearly talks about the exemplary life of a PROGRESSIVE.

HE WAS LUCKY TO HAVE LAST WORDS AS MANY OF THE IGBOS THEY BETRAYED DURING THE BIAFRAN CIVIL WAR HAD NO TIME TO SAY THEIR LAST WORDS.
How do you know if BIfra (NIGER delta INCLUSIVE) Would not be a worse place to live in modern days, What has the Igbo leaders done to rejuvenate the Igbo nation?

He fought against his Igbo brothers to please his northern pay masters. The northerners then thanked him by hanging him. It's so unfortunate for Ken Saro-Wiwa. Abacha was a no nonsense General who was ready to mow down anybody who was slowing down the flow of oil and Ken was his hit-list.
That idiot called Ken Saro-Wiwa attended secondary school at Government College Umuahia, he tought in that same Government College Umuahia, he speaks and understood Igbo very well but he fought against the Igbos.
During the Biafran civil war he chose the Nigerian side and was the administrator for the oil depot at Bonny Island. He then served in the Rivers State Cabinet as a regional commissioner for education. In 1973 he was dismissed due to his opinions on autonomy for the Ogoni people. He was killed for master minding the same thing he fought against. It was a pay back time for him.

A man of uncommon vision and courage! He prized his values above his very life. Only a life lived for higher ideals is worth living.
