GenBuhari: I asked how did you get your information that Idiagbon was in control and that Buhari was a stooge.The guy is right.If your dad is still around or you have close elderly relatives go ask them.Gen.Buhari was the version of vice President Sambo today.He was more like a ceremonial Head of state while Idiagbon was like the real President of Nigeria.I am not being political but saying the fact. 1 Like |

APRIL 1972: It was during the regime of General Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria’s military wartime leader and the law in place for convicted armed robbers was nothing but death by the firing squad.Thus it happened in April 1972 that a young man named Stanley Enekwe was convicted of armed robbery and he was to be shot to death. The place was Ajalli, near Awka in the then East-Central State (that part is now Anambra State). Enekwe’s public execution was scheduled but something really spectacular happened. In those days, families and relatives usually avoided the scene of public execution because they believed that the accused had brought overwhelming shame to their name and disgrace upon the entire family. However, that was not the case with Stanley Enekwe’s father. e was not only at the execution ground but he was there with his son to the very last. In the picture, he is seen mopping off the sweat on his son’s face and giving him words of encouragement. The agony of a father and the demonstration of unconditional love. Enekwe’s father then told his son these words, murmuring to him:‘Fear not, the Lord is waiting to receive you.’On the day of his execution, many of his villagers trooped out and proclaimed his innocence. Enekwe was said to have been an ex-soldier of the Biafran Army and came back to Ajalli after the Nigerian Civil War with one of the official vehicles which he was accused of stealing. To quote Uzoamaka Udokwu Nwankwo, a member of the Nigerian Nostalgia Project (NNP), she said concerning this issue:I finally spoke to an eye witness. Stanley was an officer in the biafran army and after the war, he came back to Ajalli with one of the official vehicles and was accused of stealing it. The Nigerian army was very wicked to the men who fought them and seized every opportunity that they could get to victimize them. The caseagainst him started immediately after the war and dragged on to the day that he was killed. Most people avoided him as they were also afraid of being victimized so his dad stood by him and boldly came to the execution to show him that he believed in him and also hoping for a miracle. I am not from Ajalli but I know that family very wellalthough I didn’t meet them until the 1980s. They are many things but they are not armed robbers. 20 Likes

Doctor’ Ishola Oyenusi is a name etched in the history of Nigeria as one of the most violent armed robbers, a criminal who unleashed boundless terror on many Nigerians. But who was he and what did he do that his name was associated with so much notoriety?The Nigerian Civil War had just ended in 1970 but by the early 1970s, a stone-hearted armed robber, Ishola Oyenusi (he called himself Dr. Oyenusi even if he never finished the secondary school), was terrorising all of Lagos, Nigeria’s largest commercial centre. Before one tale of his daring exploits died down, another one had sprung up. Oyenusi was no ordinary pilferer,this snitcher was downright wicked and had all the self-confidence in the world to go with it. And you know something? He was quite romantic and chivalrous. There was a story of how he snatched his first car on Herbert Macaulay Road in Yaba, Lagos. Why? His girlfriend was broke. He eventually sold the car for N400 but the sad part was that in the process of stealing the car, the poor owner was shot dead. He actually snatched the first car he saw on the road. Such was the ferocious nature of his audacity.Oyenusi’s arrogance was also legendary. In 1970, he was arrested and handcuffed by a police officer. As the policeman was ordering him around, Oyenusi blasted him and thundered:‘People like you don’t talk to me like that when I am armed. I gun them down.’Hmmm, but that was not all. Oyenusi was so feared that when the famed movie director, Chief Eddie Ugbomah made a film titled the Rise and Fall of Dr. Oyenusi in 1977,there was no one bold enough to come forward to act the role of the armed robber because they feared his members would show them shege.Ugbomah had no other option but to act the role himself with the feature film depicting the senseless violence of armed robberies and the absolutely atrocious manner by which lives of innocent Nigerians were snuffed out. But there was one interesting thing that happened: a medical doctor by the name of Dr. Oyenusi was so mad at the filmproducer that he headed for the court trying to stop the shooting of the movie.Actually, Ugbomah was threatened. He received a letter from thieves who invadedand looted his provision store, carting away all they could. In the letter, they promised to return his goods if he would only stop shooting the film in which he exposed the support received by the armedrobbers from their ‘godfathers’ and even high-ranking officers in the Nigerian ArmedForces. The stubborn Ugbomah called theirbluff and went ahead with the 16mm-flick (kindly send us a clip of this film if you haveone). Ugbomah would later produce many other films such asDeath of a Black President(1983),Esan (Nemesis), The MaskandVengeance of the Cultin 1985.Death of a Black Presidentwas aboutthe assassination of General Murtala Muhammed(read all about him here>>>http://www..com/murtala-muhammed-nigerias-most-popular-leader/In the 1970s, Oyenusi was no doubt the uncrowned emperor of Nigerian robbers andhe is described as the ‘first celebrated armed robber in Nigeria’. He is regarded by some as the pioneer of conventional armed robbery in Nigeria. When Oyenusi reigned at the height of his regal confidence, he declared:‘The bullet has no power.‘

I know of a video of executions which may be this one or similar cases- the accused were all smiling and courageous. RIP Elebiju: APRIL 1972: It was during the regime of General Yakubu Gowon, Nigeria’s military wartime leader and the law in place for convicted armed robbers was nothing but death by the firing squad.Thus it happened in April 1972 that a young man named Stanley Enekwe was convicted of armed robbery and he was to be shot to death. The place was Ajalli, near Awka in the then East-Central State (that part is now Anambra State). Enekwe’s public execution was scheduled but something really spectacular happened.

Those of u celebrating Biafra war with pictures of innocent civilians killed by the coward Nigeria Army, should understand that Biafra fought the entire country with no weapons apart from a manual riffle, whilst Nigeria had automatic guns and a fully mobile artillery(all the weapons) and still did not win. The war only ended after Three and the half years becos of the illegal blockade of Biafra by the criminal Gowon led Government. This time Biafra is Armed and highly loaded, i only pity Nigeria Aboki and their ally. 3 Likes
