Evidence of the staunch tout you are making manifest despite how hard you tried to suppress it? cheesy cheesy

I can't believe this was the person I responded to. Chai, only if I had known you were like this!

Seriously, I thought this guy was a mischievous fellow with just little dignity cos of the fact he's human.
Was thinking this one was different from those brainless dolts that come here to just rain abuses without shame.

He said his people beat us black and blue


I asked him to explain only for him to tell me to read upside down


Are you sure the guy is not an imbe cile . undecided

You are wrong,people were killed in those communities not mainly because they were of a minor ethnic group but because they were 'odinary' people,biafran supporters are being killed daily,but,men like kanu,tompolo,asari and co,can't be killed in a democracy.It would be a very big mistake regardless of their tribes.


There is a difference between killing supporters and destroying communities



OPC members were killed but no Yoruba town was destroyed.

Why.?


Majority factor. cool

Bro,you are digresing,someone-i am not sure if it was you-,said ken saro was killed because he was not from a major ethnic tribe,but i'm saying,he was killed b'cos we were in the millitary.Ken would still be alive by now if we were in a democracy regardless of tribe,thats why the ken-kanu comparision does not stand.

ON THE OGONI'S REMEMBRANCE DAY!
Final Statement From Ken'Saro Wiwa Before His Death.
My lord,
We all stand before history. I am a man of peace, of ideas. Appalled by the denigrating poverty of my people who live on a richly endowed land, distressed
by their political marginalization and economic strangulation,
angered by the devastation of their land, their ultimate heritage,
anxious to preserve their right to life and to a decent living, and determined to usher to this country as a whole a fair and just democratic system which protects everyone and every
ethnic group and gives us all a valid claim to human civilization, I have devoted my intellectual and material resources, my very life, to a cause in which I have total belief and from which I cannot
be blackmailed or intimidated. I have no doubt at all about the
ultimate success of my cause, no matter the trials and tribulations
which I and those who believe with me may encounter on our journey. Neither imprisonment nor death can stop our ultimate victory.
I repeat that we all stand before history. I and my colleagues are not the only ones on trial. Shell is
here on trial and it is as well that it is represented by counsel said to be holding a watching brief.
The Company has, indeed,
ducked this particular trial, but its day will surely come and the lessons learnt here may prove useful to it for there is no doubt in my mind that the ecological
war that the Company has waged in the Delta will be called to question sooner than later and the crimes of that war be
duly punished. The crime of the Company's dirty wars against the Ogoni people will also be punished.
On trial also is the Nigerian nation, its present rulers and
those who assist them. Any nation which can do to the weak and disadvantaged what the
Nigerian nation has done to the Ogoni, loses a claim to independence and to freedom from outside influence. I am not
one of those who shy away from protesting injustice and oppression, arguing that they are
expected in a military regime.
The military do not act alone. They are supported by a gaggle of politicians, lawyers, judges,
academics and businessmen, all of them hiding under the claim
that they are only doing their duty, men and women too afraid
to wash their pants of urine.
We all stand on trial, my lord, for by our actions we have denigrated our Country and jeopardized the future of our
children. As we subscribe to the sub-normal and accept double standards, as we lie and cheat
openly, as we protect injustice and oppression, we empty our classrooms, denigrate our hospitals, fill our stomachs with
hunger and elect to make
ourselves the slaves of those who ascribe to higher standards,
pursue the truth, and honour justice, freedom, and hard work.
I predict that the scene here will be played and replayed by generations yet unborn. Some
have already cast themselves in the role of villains, some are tragic victims, some still have a
chance to redeem themselves.
The choice is for each individual. I predict that the denoument of the riddle of the Niger delta will soon come. The agenda is being set at this trial. Whether the peaceful ways I have favoured will prevail depends on what the
oppressor decides, what signals it sends out to the waiting public.
In my innocence of the false charges I face Here, in my utter conviction, I call upon the Ogoni people, the peoples of the Niger delta, and the oppressed ethnic
minorities of Nigeria to stand up now and fight fearlessly and peacefully for their rights. History
is on their side. God is on their side. For the Holy Quran says in Sura 42, verse 41: "All those that
fight when oppressed incur no guilt, but Allah shall punish the oppressor." Come the day.
Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa

Be thanking God for democracy after all Asari Dokubo picked up arms and fought until he was jailed and released - Nnamdi Kanu was hiding in Britain while agitating for something at home for his people that are searching for greener pastures in other lands and making progress.
You guys are really clowns.
Asari , Tompolo and Ateke didn't talk too much - they started talking with guns despite their minority status and your Govt keep paying them to keep quiet but Kanu was picked like a rat and Bubu isn't even talking about it despite your noise making.
Odi was levelled under democracy so u beta shut up., Only big tribes can agitate without their rights being violated, if u want to agitate u beta identify with big tribes or u will be levelled in a second, continue going about carrying minority tag everywhere, nothern minorities have since embraced arewa. . ur Niger delta republic could not last 2 weeks

The problem with some minorities like him, is that , they don't know that the other big 2 look down on them as ants whose will do not count


Even Jonathan his brother has not being jailed because of the protection Igbos provide.


The day Igbos will abandon them, the ND region will witness lots of odi massacre. cool

Which protection are you guys providing for minority if not online ranting corroborated with the utmost desire forresource control? After all an Igbo man Gen Agunyi Ironsi created the Unitary System for Nigeria in 1966 that we are complaining against today. Gen Agunyi Ironsi set the foundation for the destruction of regional federalism in Nigeria. if not for his love for total control and domination (The disease of an average Igbo man), Niger delta would have be enjoying 50% resource control today. When Isaac Adaka Boro wanted to form Ijaw Nation Republic in 1966 it was Igbo Head of State Gen Agunyi Ironsi that fought him with a 12 day war.

Igbo primary interest is seperation from Nigeria with Niger delta as their trophy. Igbo wants a nation where they can become the lord, control and dominate others. Though I am not against your agitation for independence, but remember that without NDs, your agitation is nothing.
