Give the man some dignity. Is he stark naked? Thats humiliating,why not cover up his privates. May God never allow the innocent see a violent end.

Posthumous birthday?

I created a thread marking 30 years of assassination of the veteran journalist earlier today but the Mods refused to bring it to front page.

https://www.nairaland.com/3416383/dele-giwa-30-years-after

I just read opened your link. Welldone for being the first to post about Dele Giwa today but you wont expect any mod to push that kind of short piece to the front page when there is another post with rich information about the same person. Haba! Put sentiments aside, this is why Nigeria is not progressing. My take!

Kayode Soyinka should be interrogated. how come the bomb exploded at the exact time he excused himself? He knows about his death. but It's been memory and any legal actions taken now might be a waste of time and resources.Everyone is bound to taste death,invariably his killers will definitely die one day.

The person who killed Dele Giwa should make sure you lives forever... people just need to understand that there is no reason to do evil to others. Nobody lives forever.

A man that says the truth in season and out of season and ceaseth not to say the truth and died on account of saying the truth. His grave is a holy land, his gain is immotality, so let it be with DELE GIWA of blessed memory.

You killed Dele Giwa

Na Baba kill am

If you put Gida na you sabi

Me I know say na Baba kill am

-- Late Fela Anikulapo Kuti (aka baba 70)

Dele Giwa's mindless killing marked the beginning of unresolved murders engineered by Nigerian governments. I know that the wicked will not go unpunished. All those involved in the murder of this great mind will die unsung.

Re: Remembering Dele Giwa: 30 Years After His Assassination by pennyland(m): 1:54pm On Oct 19, 2016

PROPHETS FELA SAID;NA WHO KILLED DELE GIWA? NA BABA KILL AM IF YOU ADD GIDA NA YOU TALK AM OOOOH.I WISH GIWA AND FELA ARE ALIVE TODAY TO FIGHT FOR FOR US AS WE LACK WHO SATAND FOR THE ONE'St OF NIGERIA TODAY

Babangida will never know peace, Even in death. the calamitous consequence of his many sins will be visited upon his children and generations yet unborn for the crimes he commited against the benevolent Nigerian populace, while hiding beneath the claok of military rule.

How time flies. Continue to rest our journalist.

*In Fella's voice*. "Who kill Dele Giwa? Na Baba. If u put Ngida na u sabi o".

hmmm.. I was wondering whether Posthumous Birthday or Assassination.

the late Dele Giwa Is from Edo State, ETSAKOR west LG and his remain was buried in his village called Ekperi.

Re: Remembering Dele Giwa: 30 Years After His Assassination by ToySoldier2: 3:07pm On Oct 19, 2016

Please Yorubas! DELE GIWA IS FROM EKPERI in Edo State and not from Ile Ife. Why do you always wish he was a Yoruba man by stylishly omitting his place of origin?

L'ojo Sunday ni 19th October ni 1986 iroyin kan ta si wa leti were, won ni Dele Giwa won lo ti lo s'aja ile! Nje ki losele won l'o gba letter bomb, ase letter to gba o ni Dele fi rorun alakeji. This song by Dr Orlando Owoh is still very fresh in my head about the death and mystery still surrounding the death of Dele Giwa. 30 years after the mystery has still not been demystified. Nigeria is a joke! But buhari is going up and down looking for stolen funds. Continue to rest in the bosom of the Lord Dele Giwa!

Posthumously, Dele Giwa is 69. All those who participated in his murder may now be over 70 or in its neigbourhood. Which means they have a foot in the grave. The lesson here is that no matter how long, death will come visting and the wicked shall reap the full measure of their sins. Rest on DG.
