What did Ojukwu do wrong? The North has been Nigeria's problem for ages. Oh, you wanted Ojukwu to fold his arms while his people were being massacred by the northern establishment? Did Ojukwu still Nigeria's money? You're just an ani.mal!!!

anonimi:


Very lame.
In the meantime the powerful crooks would have killed several innocent but lazy people who are too cowardly to resist the wicked ones.

gidgiddy:
The Abacha regime was bloody

Biafrannuke:
sad story
Like Adaka boro like saro wiwa. Both were naive men who fought their brothers and got double-crossed by their partners.

Boro first declared ijawland Niger Delta republic against Nigeria. When it was time to help liberate Ijawland during the civil war, he joined Fulani federal forces and fought against Biafra and Ijawland liberation, and got killed by men of his own division.

Saro wiwa fought against Biafra and was even said to have benefited from an "abandoned property" with a certain sani abacha after the war. Decades later, the development eluded his people, ogoni land and the entire Niger delta suffered from over exploitation without commensurate effort to invest in the area. He belatedly realised his folly, fought against damage of ogoniland and ended up being hung by same Abacha.

Today ogoniland and Niger delta remain a mess. lessons must be learnt from there sad story. There is no benefit in betrayal.

Only Biafra can bring glory to ogoniland, Niger delta and entire Eastern region.

Lugianostar:
Some educated Nigerian elites knew the story line on how the then activist died...!

olisaEze:


Oga think before u speak! Which war was Abacha fighting that Ken Saro-Wiwa had to hang? He was an author & environmental activist who spoke against the environmental degradation perpetrated in ogoni land by the oil companies in collusion with a govt that was insensitive to the plight of farmers & fishermen of Ogoni land.

SLAP44:


He only obeyed orders from the president.

Olukat:



If you know the atrocities Maj. Obi committed in Ogoni land you will understand it was beyond taking orders from his boss.
For his (Obi) deadly military operations in Ogoni a camp was opened in Benin Republic for fleeing Ogonis. Over a thousand of
them were granted political asylum in the United States from that camp.
It was a case of Nigerian state killing her citizens, it's even more painful that such inhuman operations was headed by a southerne/Igbo man.

Bluezy13:



Was Ojukwu not portrayed as a hero during the "Mayor of five" that gave birth to "black Thursday" in the "genocide mission" between 1967 and 1970 before he ran away and left Philip Effiong to table the white flag before Nigeria

Gowon did worse...
It was simply an act of war, anything goes.

SLAP44:


Who employed Obi and is paying his salary?

Olukat:



Maj. Obi retired a General in the Army.
He's the elder brother to Gov. Umaiah of Ebonyi state.
He's an enemy of the Niger Delta!

That's Abacha for you, he was ably assisted by a cerrain Mohammed Buhari, does the name sound familiar?

I feared you wouldn't.
A product of an ignorant new genetation.
Explains the myopic, incongruous and abysmal remark you opined up there.

AnanseK:

“People should ask themselves what is preventing the real Buhari's family, Aisha in particular, from suing Mazi Nnamdi Kanu at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for libel, slander and defamation in his weighty declarations after declarations that Mohammadu Buhari is dead and replaced by an impostor? She has the connections and resources to institute almighty litigations against Mazi Kanu if truly Buhari is alive. That alone would truncate the mission of IPOB forever. Where's her courage of conviction in proving that the man in Aso Rock is her husband?”
Nnamdi Kanu is not in hiding. He tours the world in his pursuit for Biafra. So you can't call him a faceless accuser. The cold silence from from the first family goes to underscore Kanu's position about Buhari's demise. If Kanu was just yapping, what could have given him the temerity to order IPOB members to be hunting for jubril for international disgrace? EZIOKWU NA AKWU OTO.”

Mandeyy:
You lack sense! Are Umahi and Obi the same surname? Stop saying what you don't know. Major Obi is not Gov. Umahi's brother. Major General Umahi is Gov. Umahi's brother, not Major Obi. Niger Deltans are their own enemies. Saro Wiwa supported Nigeria against Biafra. In the end, he reaped what he sowed. Under Biafra, Ogoni people wouldn't have been marginalized. He chose to dine with the devil. Even today, the major opposition to Jonathan's administration came from Niger Deltans such as Keyamo, Sagay, Amaechi, etc. Leave Igbos alone!

WilyWily:

The main Soldier that killed many Ogonis at that time was a Yoruba man called, Col Paul Okuntimo

AkeNathan:


Saro WiWa was a Nigerian military soldier against the Biafran side during the Civil War.

APCHaram:


I don't think he was.

What I do know for a fact that he participated in confiscating and sharing Igbo properties in PH.
I also knew he was part of a civilian Militia that went about identifying Igbos to the Nigerian Army after the capture of PH. Most of the Igbos that he help finger out were summarily executed by the Nigerian Army.

The most ironic twist to all this is that the occupying Hausa/Fulani officers and soldiers could not differentiate between an Ijaw from an Igbo or a Kalabari from an Ikwere and so needed the help of people like Ken to point out Igbos in their midst. To the average Hausa/fulani back then and now, there is no difference between the Niger Delta tribes and Igbo.

tyup:


shut up fool if he was actually acting on command must he kill him in such a barbaric way

did he even kill him in a reasonable manner? No after that he poured acid on him and your here tell me rubbish about C in C and out of C

Igbos are nonsense sect of people quote me anywhere

Bluezy13:
Hmmm...


That must have still been fresh in his memory since he knew no other life.
May this not awaken sleeping instincts

I just pity children of these days who come online to spread religious and ethnic hate. They dont know the past and do not want to learn.

APCHaram:


Saro-wiwa was hanged.

What are you saying? That he was killed by acid?
