Heard of him from a pastor and learnt he ressurected after being shot in the head and later became an evangelist...

true?

Haba!

Keep away from that pastor because he has a masters degree in lies.

Anini was shot by firing squad and televised live on national television.

Peugeot 504

Mtcheeew.. Futility


I wanna live a good quiet and happy life.. Then Bleep off this hell hole called earth

My university school fees then was 45 bucks. Accommodation N90 and we were 2 in a room. I used to eat gari with soup and 2 pieces of meat with 10 bucks, & that was big boys ration then. When guys don dey broke, there was always a nearby joint to my hostel where we ate yam and beans without for 3 bucks as in THREE NAIRA.

So guy, 2,000 could feed me in school then for 200 days or about 2 academic sessions at 16 weeks per session. That money was huge then.

Petrol then was 42 kobo per litre under IBB. A crate of coke then was N5.50. A cow leg was N150 (now 40,000).

2k them no be beans ooo!

I remember NTA Benin 7pm news and NTA 9pm news, we glued to TV everyday from when he was arrested to when he was executed. I was in primary school then. There was great fear in the whole state before he was arrested.

I remember too another armed robber I witnessed his execution. Our headmaster closed school at about 9am and marched everyone to the public field to witness the execution. It was announced the previous night on NTA Benin that the armed robber would be brought for execution at about 11am.

While on the field, the black army van drove in and the armed robber jumped down. The force with which he was tied to a stake shielded behind by drums filled with sand was enough horror in itself. Two soldiers pulling the ropes with force around him, putting one of their legs on the stake to ensure the rope is so tightly tied.

Then followed the brief press interview of the robber. Then the prayer by an Iman, he refused the prayer of a priest. Finally five soldiers marched and took firing position. Then the command from their boss 'fireee'. Only the middle soldier in red beret actually did the firing.

Then the end of a man. A man who once was a new baby people gathered to celebrate his coming to mother earth. Now lifeless from firing squad execution with piece of rice from his busted stomach spilled on the field.

I went home very very sad and weak as I felt pity for him. He was a man that was probably in his 40s.

Everybody knows what happened to Anini even the Americans was said to have begged Nigeria Govt to free him but what happened to the inspector that caught him? What was his reward? The said inspector is from Ososo(Akoko Edo) and living is extra poverty,when I saw him 3yrs ago I was shocked to hear that he was Anini captor.

That man terrorized Nigeria, his name was a household name. Heard he used to start the engine of the cars he stole with five kobo. Men, armed robbers those days were a menace, you would think that it was really scripted or straight out of television.
