Very pathetic story. The struggle to save this country from collapse has claimed many lives.

One dangerous trend on Nairaland is the penchant with which some misinformed and disgruntled children of hatred from a certain region of this country try to demonize any Nigerian leader being discussed on this Forum.

It doesn't matter if the leader is Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello, Gen Gowon, Maj Adaka Boro, Brig Benjamin Adekunle, Gen Mohammed Shuwa, Ogbemudia, Saro-Wiwa, MKO Abiola, Buhari and of course, their hate figure, Bola Tinubu.

The OP has listened to propaganda for so long and wrote this hatefilled article to disparage the late Human and Environmental Activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa.

1) Saro Wiwa never attended UNN ,Nsukka rather he attended the University of Ibadan.
He was a junior Lecturer at UNN at the outbreak of the Civil war.

2) Saro-Wiwa was appointed the CIVILIAN Administrator of Bonny Island (like a LGA chairman) during the war and later Commissioner in Rivers State after the war.
It was Ukpabi Asika that was appointed by the FG as the Administrator of East Central State to replace Ojukwu.

3) Most of the Biafran prontagonists only look at issues from their own points of views. They often attack other people whose views do not allign with their own.
Anyone who doesn't support Biafra is labeled a backstabber, betrayer or traitor and during the war were called 'Sabos' and were often eliminated.
Their approach to Political issues is authoritarian...no contrary views are permitted.

Saro-Wiwa didn't support Buafra but this doesn't necessarily mean he hated Igbos.
4) The Pro Abacha Ogoni-4 faction of MOSOP were killed by Irate Mob attack on May 21, 1994 but Saro-Wiwa was denied entry into Ogoniland by the Police on that same day. He was never near the Gokana palace where the attack took place.

However, Saro-Wawa's harsh criticism (similar to IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu's style) against the moderate elders who were less militant against the Government casted the Ogoni chiefs in very negative lights before the youths.

The members of the National Youth Council of Ogoniland became very angry when the police denied their freedom fighter and Hero, Saro-Wiwa entry into Ogoniland to address an anti Government rally and vented their anger on the elders, killing four chiefs in the process. Mohammed Kobani narrowly escaped by running into a shrine ,considered holy by the community.

Abacha, who wanted scape goats to demonstrate the might of his unpopular Junta as well as once and for all silence the agitation in Ogoniland by Saro-Wiwa and his MOSOP which had grown from an irritant to an obstacle quickly used the unfortunate incident to hang the murders of these chiefs on Saro-Wiwa and his faction of MOSOP.

He flew in executioners from Sokoto to Port Harcourt to hang the 9 people convicted by his Special Tribunal (no opportunity for proper, let alone fair trial in normal courts up to Supreme Court) for murder on Nov-10, 1995 in ways that terrified the Nation.
The message was loud and clear...a new strong Military dictator is in power and all oppositions will be brutally crused!

Igbo's complain too much
1) How many south South's are Lecturers,students in both federal and states tertiary institutions
2)How many south souths are holding Elective positions in Igbo states
3)How many south South's are allowed to freely own shops in Igbo land
Don't bite the fingers that feeds you,igbos are given free hands to operate in south south with no hindrance
** Go to federal institutions in any south south states you will see sizeable Igbo's
*** Go to financial institutions Igbo's are well represented
****Go to the oil and gas sector Igbo's are there
****Go to the markets,Igbo's operates freely

how many shops do u freely own in ur own south-south land?

u want to blame igbos for ur lack of business acumen too?

He's not South South. He's actually Yoruba hiding behind a SS name

That's good news bro.
However, there is no region that's moving backwards in Nigeria.

The South-South has even surpassed the S/East in many aspects of development.

Igbos will continue to excel no matter what you throw at them. You may slow them down with your cave man mentality but you can never STOP their progress. I dare you to try. Even genocide and civil war massacres with 3 great powers assisting didn’t stop them.

Same way you claimed that Lagos was a slump,why can't you guys just develop your towns that are mostly dirty and unkept?

oga go n do research.

jaja was very successful in bonny, and this brought great envy upon him.

the bonny guys were scared that he may be king someday(an igbo man becoming king in bonny).

so there was a revolt, then he left with a good number of factional bonny major familes.

he went to the outskirt area, uninhabited. in fact, the bonny people thought he'll come back begging to return to bonny island.

but as fate would have it, the area he went to was actually the entrance to niger delta through the atlantic ocean.

guess what, king jaja now had exclusive and front row seat to maritime business with the europeans.

bonny was dwarfed, n in fact king jaja controlled trade in the whole of the delta. this actually led to the influx of igbos en mass into the delta region.

That's an afonja you are quoting.

I remembered the first time I heard the story of Wiwa. I actually felt so angry till the point I began boycotting Shell. Wouldn't buy gas from them and although one man action wouldn't impact them, I still felt the need to do that in protest. The fucking day I read about Sero-wiwa is the day i learned that Karma does exist and she's truly a bitch.

Sero Wiwa was among the people who literally went around pointing out who's Igbo to Niggerian soliders. Literally, the evil that man bestowed on Igbo, especially the Oyigbo/Asa people, that live close to Ogoni was immense. Ironically, the same people he ran with are the same set of people that slaughtered him like a chicken. Likewise, Ogoni's entire territory has been destroyed by oil degradation and not one single politician seems to care while Oyigbo LGA who also have the same amount of oil as them as well as reside next to them territory isn't even remotely as damaged as Ogoni despite both areas is being exploited for oil by the west. If that right there is not Karma, I don't know what it is. The evil one does comes back tens fold.

Ken Saro-Wiwa death was poetic justice. May he continue to rot in hell

You are a born Liar!

Awolowo was incarcerated from 1962-1967 and he was not holding any Government post, so how did he sponsored Adaka Boro's secession in conjunction with Sardauna his arch enemy in 1966?

Most Igbo commentators on this Forum strongly believe all propaganda they were told by their parents/uncles about other Nigerians and come here to propagate such as the gospel truths without investigating the veracity of such stories.

APCHaram:

Awo, Zik and Sarduna all worked with one of each other to balkanize each other's region.

Awo and Zik worked together unsuccessfully to emancipate the middle belt from the north.

Sarduna and Zik worked with each other to create Midwest region from western region.

Awo and Sarduna sponsored the Adaka Boro seccesionist movement to weaken the eastern region.

The mantra one north was coined by the Sarduna as a rallying call to assuage the middle belt peoples into believing in one United and equal northern region.

IKENNA NWEKE & PAUL ACHALLA
KARMA IS FAIR AND JUST!!
COPIED
The biggest crime committed against the Ogoni people was the killing of Ken Saro Wiwa and his eight colleagues. Their crime was that they mobilized their people against the exploitation of their land. The tribunal was headed by Justice Ibrahim Auta. Other members of the tribunal were Justice Etowa Eyo Arikpo, Lt Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (the incumbent Comptroller General of Customs), while the government prosecutor was Mr Joseph Bodurin Daudu SAN.
The Provisional Ruling Council (PRC), the highest decision-making body of the Abacha regime that took the decision to kill Saro Wiwa comprised General Abacha, Maj. General Patrick Aziza (Minister of Communications under Abacha); Major Gen. Tajudeen Olarenwaju (GOC); General Abdulsalami Abubakar (Chief of Defence Staff); Lt. General Oladipo Diya (Chief of General Staff); Maj. Gen. Victor Malu (GOC); Ibrahim Coomasie (Inspector General of Police); Mike Akhigbe (Chief of Naval Staff); Maj. General Ishaya Bamaiyi (Chief of Army Staff); Nsikak Eduok (Chief of Air Staff), and Lt. Gen. Jeremiah Useni (Minister of the Federal Capital Territory). There was no Igbo man.
It was Chief Emeka Anyaoku, an Igbo man, who as the secretary-general of the commonwealth of nations, that led a protest that made the Commonwealth of Nations to rise to the occasion, and warned Abacha not to carry out his wicked act. Although he later did, the Commonwealth under Anyaoku sanctioned Nigeria.
Today, ask an Ogoni man to show you his enemy, he will point at an Igbo man.
May the spirit of Saro Wiwa, and his eight colleagues hunt you for your foolishness.. An eye opener..

Kenule Saro Wiwa was the champion of that foolishness. A man educated at the famous Government College Umuahia ( Fishers) and University of Nigeria,vNsukka. He led the federal forces against the Biafrans and for his betrayal was made Administrator of South east state. He asked that Igbo properties be declared abandoned properties and be forfeited to them. He personally took over Ojukwu father's property in Port Harcourt which he occupied at a time with a certain Lt. Sani Abacha his friend and killer. To rub in the humiliation of Igbos whom he hated so much, he wrote " Toad for Supper" which was a mockery of how they made Igbos suffer so much during the war that they fed on toads and lizards. He encouraged the Ikkwerres to deny their Igboness and assisted Elechi Amadi to invent the corruption of Igbo names by adding "r" and "y" to form jargons like Rumuokoro and Oyibo instead of Umuokoro and Obigbo. This they said is Ikkwerre a distinct language and tribe.
It is important to note that Ken Sarowiwa was not killed by his co travelers for agitating for environmental rights. Environmental rights was one of his pastimes which he used to extort money and exert influence on government and oil companies. He was killed for the murder of five Ogoni chiefs( Chief Fugbara, Kogbara Kobani et al) . These were men who were opposed to his immoral and outlandish lifestyle and actually wanted a more responsible engagement with government and oil companies. He labelled them vultures.
Masterminded and led a mob attack on these men and killed the five of them in a single day. It was a murder trial and environmental issues was not on the charge sheet. He was found guilty, convicted and hanged. His friend and collaborator in arms, now Gen Sani Abacha was the Head of state. It was not in vain that Ojukwu, (may his soul find peace), made effort to see him at Port Harcourt prison before his execution. Of course all effort to save him by the emasculated Igbos had failed. Emeka Anyaoku did his best. God bless him. Ojukwu visited him and greeted him " Good morning" in broad day light. The Igbo spirit is a forgiving one, the day the Yoruba, Efik, Ibibio, Rivers, Ijaw people will come to terms with the Igbo, that will be when Nigeria will have everlasting peace.

You're a fool. Saro Wiwa did not write 'Toad for Supper'. And an Ibo military officer commanded the squad that illegally executed him.

Nawa ooo..
These Yoruba people can sink so low to deny their ancestors just to achieve what they can't achieve offline..
The way he's using "south southerner" and "Igbos" in the same sentence shows he has never left his enclave. Who doesn't know that Igbos are still part of SS?

Very unfortunate set of people.. For someone to spend so much time on this thread shows how desperate he's is..

I suspected his antics when he started supporting Yoruba against Igbos. Yes, even if we have internal issue with some minorities, no sane SS minority will chose Yoruba ahead of igbos except itshekiri people,(Still under scrutiny sef) Even their Edo so called cousins always distance themselves from them..
Now the clown had to claim Akwa Cross those who are very close to Igbos and stayed with us through thick and thin before and after the war.. Even after the war, Effing still maintained his stand on Biafra, which his Son today still carry Biafra matter for head.

Some of those clowns that are impersonating SS minorities should go learn and study the people they want to impersonate before embarrassing themselves on a social media, else they will always get disgrace they seek for like the clown on this thread.. Look for another SS minority to impersonate, study them very well before playing your game not people of Akwa Cross..

If you see any Akwa Cross person issue with Igbo, it must be a personal something which is applicable even in families.. It can never be political.


Finally, I apologize to SS minorities that might find my initial comment offensive..


Afonja should put their house in order if they can.. It's not our fault that they are not United hence their effort and envy to divide others..

Yoruba Christians Vs Yoruba Muslim
Anifere divided into two, which can never happen in Ohaneze or among Arewa.
Ife and Modakeke.. They don't marry each other uptill today ..

Even Osibanjo had to distance himself from Yoruba Muslims when the rumour had it that his daughter is getting married to a Muslim.. This wil tell you how terrible things are for them.

I can't imagine the pain they are facing in that their enclave because of religion.

Port Harcourt
Opobo
And other. Were not originally owned by Igbo's
The tactics is they come for trading,after some time they start marrying indigenous ladies, thereafter they start bringing their brothers,sisters and their village people after some years they start claiming ownerships

Such a sillly analogy.
If at all this is the tact Igbos employ, does that equate them with fulanis? Seriously?
So, you're trying to tell me that fulanis bring trade, then marry the indigenous women, then bring their kinsmen, and then claim your land?
Hehehe. What a slowpoke.

Let me ask you this:
Do fulanis pay for the lands they claim after settling there? No. But Igbos buy lands wherever they reside.
Do fulanis live peacefully with their hosts? No. But Igbos do.
Sure, Igbos may invite their kins after they settle and their business has a firm footing. This is the most brotherly thing anyone can do.
Every property occupied by Igbos in Rivers State were bought with their money from their own sweat. Apart from the indigenous Igbos who originated from parts of Rivers and who own lands, Igbos who migrated there bought land from the wretched and lazy muthafuckas of which you and your people most likely belong to. Do you think your lowly opinion of Igbos matter to anyone apart from your tiny, wretched ethnic rats?

Your hatred and jealousy means nothing. Actually, I want your type to continue hating Igbos more. Igbos thrive when there's opposition.
