Fight for Biafra and we will hold your oath fulfilled....you refused now you're dead!

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

Who created Nigeria? Ewu!

egift:
Waiting for them. Even the Children of Israel left Egypt. Nigeria is not for division.

Goat pickin tell the owner say nor be him he buy for market. These young guys were born Nigerians not Biafrans yet Nigeria treated them like Biafrans and now they want the Biafra Nigeria has pushed them to. Up Biafra! The land of the rising sun!

Larryjay4u:
My first question is; Why do the older generation (born before 1970) not join in the protest? I think they know better than what the younger generations are asking for.

Following

Why are you crying more than the bereaved? Yeye dey smell

Ballmer:
When the equation is ready the Igbo will plead to sacrifice you just so they can have their five Biafran states. The seceding smaller nation does not n can not dictate the terms of succession. Wake up from your slumber. The best you can have is probably become the next Kashmir.

We in Anioma we are going with Biafra.

Ballmer:
At least am convinced with PDP stand with Igbos on Biafra neither of them would ever be president of Nigeria anymore. Buharishoukd fasttrack their succession and depletion like he did to the Ghanaians back then. I can not wait to stop living with the children of hate n bitterness. The five Igbo state must be set free with immediate alacrity.

Since you've resorted to insult...bye

OAUTemitayo:
A two time Governor who has used his influence to get several others installed as governor is not marketable? are you high?
I see, you are from the wailing council.
Hate him as much as you can, no politician in your erosion ravaged land can match Tinubu's success in politics.
Nkita ara

He won't even try it....he is not marketable!

OAUTemitayo:
How many have Tinubu contested for the Presidency?

And yet Tinubu cannot be president....a position he so craved for!

OAUTemitayo:
Only God knows the number of people Tinubu has retired in politics.
From Tewonde George to Obanikoro and the Afenifebi goons
Tinubu I hail the

He complained recently in India that powerful people are frustrating the war against corruption. Are you not current?

OrlandoOwoh:
I've not heard Buhari complain, like Jonathan did, that there are cabals who are a cog in the wheel; why complain for him?

Thanks. I want risk free o.....plan to start taking risk 2018 after i have enough capital on bills/bonds such that if any risk goes south, i have continuous flow to fix my family.

feelamong:
Sincerely I don't know much about Mutual funds.. will have to read a lot more there maybe cos am not a fan of the product.

I have however invested in the Fidelity Securities Bond Linked Investment notes when it was at 13.75% guaranteed return.

see link below where we have experts already discussing more on it.

but note that its not Risk free like Treasury Bills of FGN bonds

https://www.nairaland.com/1912965/mutual-funds/16#39082903

Kindly expatiate on this. what is fixed income mutual funds and how can i go about it?

feelamong:
Stock market is not for the fain hearted o!!

do you have the liver to take losses?

i speculate in the market and also have some long term positions too...

but for the speculations i do; i also put a 10% stop loss! That way am able to bail out with a small haircut if the trade goes bad

but for TBholders....its time to take some risk in the Fixed Income Mutual funds with guaranteed returns

You are making it seems like these people are zombies! OK so becos road is bad and a tanker fell that justifies playing with explosive petrol? Even in US, there may be act of God that may cause a tanker to fall, will they now rush to play with the petrol cos a tanker fell? Don't these Nigerians here value their life? How much is a gallon of petrol to die for?

benedictnsi:
So how many times have you seen a fallen tanker resulting from bad Road network in countries like USA, Germany or Switzerland Don't you think poor Road maintenance and directions can facilitate this falls and accident Ok, what if the tanker exploded and killed people Do you think people would have been there to sip or tap it's fuel remains

Why waste your energy and prayers? If there is no equity there will be no justice and if there is no justice there will be no peace. These are natural laws prayer can't change. When we complain about Nigeria its not out of hate for any tribe, its just frustrations that the solution which is to restructure completely to true federalism is being avoided by the powers that be. We cannot be praying for solutions God has given us the wisdom to solve but we lack the vision to see strategically. As for the terrorist president, its strange how Nigerians left a peace maker to follow idol!

MizMyColi:
Good Morning Everyone

I had finished my workout sessions and decided to try out the new earpiece my little Sis "dashed" me, and a Christian song by Frank Edwards was in play.
I thought to seize the opportunity to pray for my loved one who was going through tumultuous times, and before I knew it, I started praying passionately for Nigeria. I prayed for the president! I was in tears.
Those who know my political antecedents here would understand that I am more an anti-Buharist and even more anti-APC....

But this morning, none of that mattered. I was led by something higher to drop all forms of bitterness, and complaining, and reservations; for the love of dear country, for the love of humanity.

‎
Muslims, Christians, Budhists, Atheists, Igbo, Yoruba, PDP, APC, Partyless Opposition, SS, Northerner....No matter who and what you are. Today, I enjoin us‎ to take a little time from our busy schedule and say a word of prayer for our Nigeria and for the leadership of this country. Today, it dawned on me, that it doesn't matter what has been done or undone, every day presents a chance to chart a new course in our history, in our lives.


Let today, the 1st day of November, 2015 start a movement of healing that would sweeps across the fabric of this nation.

Let every structure of negativity and bitterness and unforgiveness that so seeks to continually divide us‎ be pulled down.
‎
Today, irrespective of our religious, political and tribal affiliation, we declare that it is well with Nigeria.
We declare that it is well with our president and every arm of leadership of this nation.

Our Divine Creator will save, Our Divine Creator will deliver.


God bless us all.‎
Amen.
‎

If they are not wise enuf to know that they are taking fatality risk of the highest order how will they be wise enough to know Buhari n his sectarian govt is/was a fraud!

dhardline:
How did we get here?
This is poverty walking and talking live.

If some Nigerians can risk their lives like this just to scoop fuel i wonder what's stopping them to protest against bad governance from the local government,state and then the federal government.

So they are taking fatal risk cos of the ineptitude of government? What nonsense? Can't they survive without government? Abi dem born you with government? So if there is a spark and they turn to suya will they hold government responsible? Yeye dey smell

benedictnsi:

When the economy improves and the standards of living become better, when our government creates more jobs for young Nigerians, when it is no longer "PERSONAL GOVERNANMENT OF NIGERIA" but federal, when there is serious improvement in the health sector, when the prayers for good leaders get answered, when we seriously fight crime and corruption..... Etc

Restructure or split! Those are the two possible ways n funny enuf Nigerians know.

Read the comments nobody is praising him rather the people that castigated him before the election is still castigating him now for being a muntullah to have campaigned for a terrorist as president. We are calling him a stupid for just realising this fraud called Nigeria

obailala:
Hahaha... I was just about to say this. The very people who this development favours and who would br praising him now are the very people who called him all sorts of names and hated him with passion just before the elections.

Its amazing how we are all politically reactive. I watched with amuzement how several people who were about to die in support of Saraki few months back are now deserting and calling him names and even rejoicing over the appeal court judgement on his trial today and all this love changed to hate instantly because he confirmed Amaechi yesterday

We did not copy US in structure, we deceitly copied the one that will hold the nation captive instead of copying the whole structure including 100% resource control and state policing

PRYCE:
The American are so rich, They can even afford to run a 'tricameral' government but Nigeria had to copy them!

It's pathetic!

Potentially Nigeria has wealthy but in reality Nigeria is poor cos with are running a sharing economy rather than a productive economy. We either restructure completely to US system or we split to make progress but if we remain as we are....we will be this miserable forever.

The fact that you have accepted your servitude does not mean Igbos should

trapQ:
True... The SSerns should even be the ones feeling victimised because we've been feeding the nation for decades and our lands have been devastated, our water polluted with oil spillage.

Dug GEJ grave? are you new here? GEJ is one of the most if not the most successful Nigerian politician. how many people will be this lucky? 16 years in power in all category! Leave GEJ alone and face ur baba one chance.

Ayatullah:
Rotimi Amaechi DUG IT!

Congratulations to you ROTIMI AMAECHI on your deserved confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The pain of PDP Senators is NOT understandable because Jonathan has since accepted to occupy that grave and Rest In Peace.

Why always Igbos?

blaqoracle:
Why bother yourself? The igbos dont have the capacity to wage war; they cant even defend their so called five states, let alone leading an invation. The current noise about biafra is an attempt to mask their political miscalculation and misadventure of supporting jonathan's failed 3rd term bid. However, jonathan has since recovered from the shock and moved, even edwin clark an avowed pugilistic supporter of jonathan have all moved on, yet the igbos are still ruminating over a defeat they can not undo.

Benue has been tormented by the Fulani herdsmen yet you want to happily continue in ur misery...nonsense

acenazt:
i swear these people are really Arrogant can you imagine i was reading one post and someone mentioned Idoma as a tribe within biafra??

This country going round in circles.

Igbos always speak for themselves....let the other tribes speak for themselves.

kingsolex:
same goes to the federal government is not treating the gwari,nupe,zuru,koro and other's right is it only igbos that are in Nigeria

The self determination of Igbos has nothing to do with oil sharing. we are focused and determined and cannot be distracted by oil wealth from the zoo. we have our own oil and technological wealth and like Israel, we will be victorious.

warrior01:
Good. Where is that stewpid boy called Barcanista? You ain't seen nothing yet. I Implore all Igbos to join our true brothers from the North and West in sharing the remaining oil in the so called Niger Delta. To hell with the so called PDP and their traitors. To your tents oh Israel

Good day. You dont need nnamdi Kanu to let you know Nigeria is a zoo. bye

obailala:
Oh I see, you are one of the Nnamdi Kanu faithfuls who have been brainwashed to see every other Nigerian but yourselves as animals in a zoo because GEJ lost an election months ago?... I should have known who you were earlier. Obviously even Jesus Christ himself would have a hard time convincing you guys to reason objectively especially as it concerns your pre-determined hatred for Buhari. I am afraid, I cannot continue with this discussion. Good day!

Keep giving yourself excuses! you said decades of rot? Buhari is just cut up in the mess he created when he interrupted democracy. India and Parkistan started about thesame time but the difference why India is more developed is consistent democracy even if its a little contribution from successive govts. Buhari ruined us from 1983 and he is paying for being a coupist. I am not wishing Buhari failure cos he has already failed even nigerians know thats why they did not vote for him for 3 attempts. How can an unrepentant coupist/dictator/terrorist be voted in a president...only in a zoo of course!

obailala:
I see you sticking your tongue ( )out and wishing the president of your country does not perform so you can say "I told you" after 4 years. As unfortunate as that stance is, God pass una! and by God's grace, he is going to perform. He may appear annoyingly slow, but you need to understand that he is taking his time to undo decades of rot which has bedevilled the system. Remember the quote from the October first speech:

“Impatience is not a virtue. Order is more vital than speed. Careful and deliberate decisions after consultations get far better results..."

Oh yes, we are all impatient, but I am sure as a Nigerian, you should have an idea of the extent of rot in the system?... that will certainly take time to fix. The nosedive in world oil prices have also greatly not helped matters. Have you taken your time to review the last national budget of 2015?... If only you can go take a look at it, you will understand why there cannot be a single progress this year, it is not just a 'new government' thing, absolutely nothing was budgeted for capital projects in the 2015 budget and it was not PMB's government that compiled this 2015 budget. Ideally, we should patiently wait for the 2016 budget to see exactly what the CHANGE they promised us is all about. If Nigeria gets better, irrespective of who sits in Abuja, it will be to the benefit of us all; and if peradventure things don't turn out better (God forbid), just like I said earlier, we will look for a way to kick him out.

Ok..lets c how you vote him out when the time comes cos he is not going to perform. you can tell the end to some extent from the beginning

obailala:
And what does your comment about free elections have to do with my first comment which you quoted?... I simply stated that it was a justified thing to do to vote out GEJ due to his abysmal performance, irrespective of whether he gave free/fair elections or not; elections are not the only needs of a developing country like ours. And of course, if PMB fails in performance, we will also look for a way to remove him when the time comes.

You are just repeating thesame lies APC fed you and you are derailing from the original argument. the argument was if Bok0hari did not perform you will vote him out as if you can do that in the absence of free and fair elections. Why dint you vote OBJ out after his first term? Cant you see the handwriting on the wall that INEC is not position to deliver fair election based on the damaged done to it after Jega left or you need an angel to tell you?

obailala:
So because GEJ gave free election, then I should overlook all his other unforgivable flaws and allows him to continue ruining my country for another 4 years? .... Na free election I go chop?... is free election the biggest problem of Nigeria?.... where are the roads? What was our health care delivery like?.. Where are the schools? Where are the industries? Where is security? What was our international image like during his time?...

Someone rules nigeria at Nigeria's richest season from 2010 to 2015 when oil prices were steadily at $100per barrel, God blessed nigeria abundantly under this period but what do we get?... he meets a total national savings running over $60billion but after a 5 years unprecedented income boom, he leaves nigeria with less than $30billion; no major projects were ever completed, he awarsd road and brigde contracts all over the place, everyone hails him and then the projects never proceeds.

These financial figures and records are all over the place for all discerning people to see yet some still insist that the man performed wonderfully well, probably in depleting resources and creating hundreds of private jet flying crooks. Sometimes I wonder whether some of you are under a spell that even 7months after, you cannot still see through the lies and deceit of these politicians. What kind of brainwashing is this?
