Biafra At 50: A Call To Remember Dick Tiger (photos) by Igboblog: 5:25pm On May 29, 2017 |
Biafra at 50: A call to remember. Dick Tiger in view. Richard Ihetu also known as Dick Tiger was an Igbo-Nigerian professional boxer, middleweight and light heavyweight champion. Dick Tiger moved from Nigeria to Liverpool and later to United States. At the outbreak of the Nigeria-Biafra war, he declared support for Biafra and informed international sports reporters to dissociate him with anything Nigeria. He was labeled a traitor by the Federal Government, it cost him his wealth and assets. Dick was banned from entering Nigeria till he developed Liver cancer and asked to be allowed to come home. He came back to Nigeria on 18th July, 1971. His international passport was confiscated and the Government refused his request to go out of Nigeria to undergo radical treatment for his cancer. He died on 14th December, 1971. http://ndigboblog..co.ke/2017/05/biafra-at-50-call-to-remember-dick.html?m=1
