Gen Sani Abacha used him eyes see shege then to the extent of making him cry publicly on national TV only for Abacha to give him white handkerchief again to wipe his years.

Abacha for whatever reason set him up alongside Abdulkareem Adisa in a phantom coup. RIP

Re: Gen. Oladipo Diya Dies At 79 by Gaabasky: 7:03am On Mar 26, 2023
Eyah. He was a wise man, he learned his lessons from ABACHA and Al-Mustapha and maintained his lane unlike Adisa.
RIP.
Greet ABACHA and you should settle your difference before u enter the gate.

My condolences to his family

R.I.P General, General sabo really makes this man and others suffer by telling abacha they are planning coup against him, after baba narrow escape from their den, the baba learn to stay on his lane, not talking to anybody about what transpires in abacha's government, including his own personal ordeal.

But as far as definition of cowards goes, Diya qualifies as one.

Sorry, if that hurts your feelings

Rest in peace Gen Diya. Make sure you beat the hell out of Abacha. Take pass and leave heaven to hell to quickly rough handle that shot bororo, asian pussy loving, tribal marked midget. Remove his glasses and paste it on Twitter for evidence of his beatings.

shocked General Oladipo Diya would be remembered as the "weeping General" who so much belittled himself before Major Hamza Almustapha. Rest on.

Well, I still believe he's braver than your father and your people. You militants are the real cowards not Generals. Your resources are being plundered, your land severely polluted and you all can't do jack shit about it.

Politically, you can't even aspire to become something in Nigeria despite being the cash-cow of Nigeria's economy. Recently, Wike raped your arses for Tinubu yet your people couldn't do anything.

Lets not even mention how GEJ the coward made Nigeria ended up with a disaster called Buhari.

Once your people don recieve Ogogoro as gifts, their life's problems don finish. Bloody cowards.



Edited:

Just learnt Ogonimilitant is a fake profile. Make una no vex. Just mad at the docile GEJ & the nonsense Wike pulled off for Tinubu and a second time for Fubara despite threats from Egberipapa.

Niger-Deltans should be the kingmakers in this country. If the region sneezes, the entire country should catch cold.

Oh what a loss to the country.

May God grant him eternal rest.

His life is a proverb, "enit'Olorun 'o pa, eda kan 'o le pa a".

Odeogbolu, e ku ilede enire.
