Nigeria foreign policy was very assertive during his few days in office. For the very first time, Nigeria crafted a foreign policy devoid of western influence. Though, he actively participated in almost all the coups that took place before the one that claimed his life....starting from July 29, 1966. 1 Like 1 Share |

I talked but I changed my mind. I focus on what is on ground. OP, that Wya's surviving son said he suspects foul play. That his mom never killed herself. He also said his uncle in the Navy died a month or so under uncertain circumstance after the government killed his dad. So first they killed wya, a month and half later, they killed Wya's brother who was a naval officer then a few months later the mom died in a car crash. His siblings are still alive. He said she was going to visit her family members when the accident happened. He doesn't believe she killed herself. 17 Likes 1 Share |

This article should clearly answer the silly questions some Nigerians ask on why some top government officials walk around with so much security........ It's not like they are afraid of the people, it's the people the people are afraid of that is the problem,.............. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Today 13th Feb I got a favourable court judgement on a matter hanging on my neck like the sword of Damocles. Since I don't believe in mythology, it can never work negatively for me. In fact everyday has something positive to throw at me. 5 Likes 1 Share |

austino3050:Lies, lies and more lies. OP, learn to research instead of swallowing everything you read hook, line and sinker. Col Wya was never officially exonerated. His wife didn't commit suicide; she had a fatal accident in Kano on her way to see friends and died on the spot, 3 months after husband's death She didn't run into a moving train with her four children. How could she? Mustafa, the eldest child who was 12 at the time was in Form 2 at King's College. His siblings are all alive and well. Fiona, the 2nd child wo was 10 at the time, retired from Unity Bank last year after many years of service and is into IT consultancy. Fatima, the 3rd, 8 years at the time of her father's death is a business woman based in Yola. Omar, baby of the family was 4 in 1976, and is currently based in the UK. The younger brother who died a month after Col Wya's execution did not commit suicide. The circumstances behind his death are unclear but it isn't suicide.

austino3050: Mrs Wya never committed suicide or died with her children.. her car got stuck and died in an accident. There are four of the children, Mustafa, Fiona, Fatima and Omar. Fiona retired over a year ago; after years of services with Unity Bank. She is doing very well. She is in Kaduna now and into IT Consultancy. Fatima is also very okay and she is based in Yola. She is into her business. Omar is into human resources consultancy and he has been based in the UK for over 20 years now. 1 Like |
