Lol Abiola died in prison, good diplomacy?

Asari Dokubo was never a freedom fighter he could be easily bribed into silence.

I have never supported IPOB or Sit at home but Reno's arguments are just too shallow every movement that promises change whether personal or societal will always involve some level of suicide or self destruction
. What does dying have to do with his Argument? Didnt abacha die too? Did yaradua as president not die? Understanding is a problem for lots of igbos ooo. Exactly what reno is saying.. Instead of you to ponder deeply to understand what he is saying u rish to collect FTC.. Is FTC more important than igboland our fatherland? What is wrong with you people sef.. I am beging wonder what is wrong with us as a people..

When Abiola was in jail, the Yorubas did not destroy their region to force Abacha to release MKO Abiola. Rather, they used diplomacy to turn Abacha into an international pariah until Abacha was forced to offer Abiola bail (which Abiola ultimately refused). Mohammed Abacha was in prison for three years. How was he released? Kano elders sought an audience with Obasanjo in 2002 and publicly prostrated to him. The next month, the court freed Mohammed. Asari Dokubo was in prison for treason for two years until Niger Delta elders used diplomacy to get President Yar'adua to release him in 2007. What militancy could not do, diplomacy did! I cannot imagine any truly intelligent person saying until you release our son, we will keep destroying our region. Who loses? Fight intelligently, not forcefully. You are cutting your nose and thinking you are spiting those in power? And nobody can even counsel you guys. It is either you know better than those who want to counsel you and start to lecture them, or you insult them. The Yorubas used diplomacy as leverage. Kano people used it. Niger Delta used it. You, too, use it. It will serve you better than this path of self-destruction.

No government can give in to force. The minute they do, they are finished, because others will smell weakness and engage in their own violence.

Oya, insult!

Inasmuch as I do not support violence; justice, rule of law and human rights should not be compromised or trampled upon in a democratic setting. In fact these elements should be upheld as sacrosanct.
Refusal to obey court rule, in this case a [b]supreme court ruling [/b]is an invitation extended to anarchy.

Is it worth it, to destroy your region or nation because of one man?

Men die for nation to continue, nations don't die or destroy themselves so one man can live...not really smart. Soldier come and go, barrack remain.

Sometimes, most times, the self destructive sacrifice is in vain.

I don't like Reno but he's right, everything shouldn't be about violence.

OPC was created in 1994, the guy you quoted is right.

And you were there when it was created abi?

Did you hear anything called OPC throughout Abacha ?

OPC was created after MKO and Abiola died after Abdulsalami announced his transition to civil rule.

It was meant to be a militia of sort that will check any future military wuruwuru.

After Abdulsalami handed over, it became a vigilante outfit meant to tackle criminality .

Stop lying.

I said "diplomacy alone doesn't work" not that diplomacy is useless.

Yorubas made use of both violence and diplomacy, diplomacy alone did absolutely nothing to stop Abacha, Abacha was poisoned not overthrown, there was no coup, no great mass uprising, he would probably be ruling Nigeria to this very day if he wasn't killed, in the end when all is said and done - it was death that overthrew Abacha not any of your pretty diplomacy, in the end Yorubas used violence to rule Nigeria, the diplomacy just whitewashed the whole affair.

And i'm glad you didn't try to turn Asari Dokubo to some intelligent diplomat.

And who killed Abacha - was it NADECO? And can you please give some factual evidence for your claim that the Yoruba used violence to rule Nigeria? This is the problem - people just imagine things and then turn around to say that they are true. Wishing something to be true does not make it true.

Waiting for evidence of how Yorubas ruled Nigeria through violence...

People like you love arguing blindly

OPC was created in August 1994 by Fasehun, you can not change history.

Abacha was killed - that is enough for me, he wasn't argued out of office he was killed and his death paved the way for the first Yoruba president in history, it also paved the way for men like Tinubu to rise to prominence. Yorubas gained more from his death than any other tribe in Nigeria but it's needless engaging in fruitless arguments, Yoruba propaganda / diplomacy prevented anyone from looking too deep in the matter.

The idea that you can talk your way into power, freedom or success is pure nonsense and very childish.
