The punishment of God is not always about being dead and buried, it can mean that you find it difficult to re-marry because women are too ashamed of your name, it could mean that your mates in the military are allowed to lead the country in civilian capacity and you can`t. Most importantly, the punishment of God could mean that your children are too ashamed to call you their dad in public.

Dele Giwa lives on!

May the end of his killer be worst than his. May peace depart from the killer's life and family as we remember his death today.

this are what Nnamdi k saw that give me a wide insight that Nigeria is a zoo


Nigeria has been a lawless country from a long decade

they wasted the lives of people that would have been the public mouthpiece today. gani fawehinmi, bola Ige, funsho Williams, sarowiwa. all we have today are just self activist not human

JUST LIKE YESTERDAY !!! EXACTLY 30 YEARS ago, This Top Journalist DELE GIWA was killed .
He was Bomb out of existence with LETTER BOMB on the 19-10 -1986. May his Soul REST IN PEACE Amen.
16 march 1947 to 19-10-1986

Dele Giwa (16 March 1947 – 19 October 1986) was a Nigerian journalist, editor and founder of Newswatch magazine.

The story gives an insight into the planning & execution yet investigations has led to no arrest. Fela calls this authority killing. The authority is not a ghost but men. Na awa body police dey get power.

What has Nigeria not progressing got to do with this?

Good question. Certain personalties are favoured to handle sensitive positions in the country not considering the suitability of such personalties in terms of competence just because they are the first to congratulate 'His excellency'!

..and the killer is alive and roams freely as if killing is a righteous act.

but, he will roam no more when the creator calls.

Rest In Peace Dele.

I have this believe that killers are afraid to die, bc they will eventually meet the person they killed some where as a senior spirit and they will be dealt with.

In Nigeria, West Africa
There was bad an occasion


On the 19th of October
When they killed our journalist.
He was eating in his own house
When they brought an envelope
He was trying to open it
When the bomb blast over him

Chorus: Dele Giwa, Dele Giwa
Dele Giwa journalist...

That's as far as I can remember. Bros, he don tey. Lol
Re: Remembering Dele Giwa: 30 Years After His Assassination by Codyt(m): 10:26pm On Oct 20, 2016
My question now is;
Why would a hostile reporter(dele giwa) be expecting a parcel from a government he had just berated and harshly criticized barely weeks/months before his death?

I guess he didnt see that coming
