Thank God Yoruba is not involved in Ibo's fuckery and � evil them go Don blame us for all their life's history miseries
Yoruba soldiers are the Soldiers that killed many Ogonis at that time,
Col Paul Okuntimo a Yoruba was the one who lead many Yoruba soldiers and some Hausa/Fulani soldiers to invade innocent Ogoniland and killed many.
The anger of Yoruba soldiers towards Ogoni people was because of chasing away and beating of Yorubas working at Shell.
80% of Shell workers working in Ogoniland are Yorubas, they are the ones who intentionally caused oil spillage to destroy Ogoniland and caused Cancer.

He should have been released to his people for his burial. You lied when you say its common practice to pour acid on corpse of condemned inmates. Thats not true.

Go and ask well.

The body of executed inmates is state property and never released for burial to the relatives. It is the govt that disposes of the body. And usually always within the prison grounds.

Then what is your problem?

The hanging or acid pouring?

If it is the acid know that this was standard practice by prison officials when burying a condemned inmate. The acid is meant to accelerate decomposition as the graves are usually shallow and located on prison grounds.

This was what they did to Lawrence Anini's corpse.

Buhari on the other hand preferred to execute petty drug mules by public firing squad. Buhari turned the tourist bar beach into an execution ground where prisoners were lined up tied behind oil barrels and shot by firing squad of soldiers.

Buhari's choice of getting rid of the bodies of executed prisoners was to pile them up on speeds boat and dump them into the Atlantic. A few days later, the corpses will wash ashore to the horror of beach goers.

We stopped our weekend trips to bar beach during Buhari's tenure and since then bar beach never got its tourist reputation back.

Stop spinning tales here. Those executed during Buharis period of military rule were drug dealers and he had a different approach to it. Any drug dealer convicted would be taken to his family house and executed and left there. The intent behind that was that family will begin to police their own members against crime, particularly illicit drugs.

Bro Okuntimo is not Yoruba. Stop lying

Okuntimo has no meaning in yoruba language.

Okuntimo is likely a Ijaw, Urobo or Kogi.

And I don't know how 80% of workers can be yoruba when Majority of the workers in those days were largely foreign expatriates.

Please don't pull Yorubas in your nonsense.

Ol boy, i dont need to ask anybody. I had two uncles served and retired from federal service. One at prisons...the other started in customs and after many years transferred to prisons to join his cousin. Prison warders dont earn much but they are well compensated by families that want their inmate son or daughter to be in comfort behind bars.

Inmates condemned to death are government property but families can get the corpse if they want. Not only that, when inmates are killed clergy men are called in to pray over the body before burial. The corpse is not desecrated as done here with acid....and you are mischiebious for supporting it.

The killers wanted to humiliate the deceased, after killing them they poured acid on them. This made it impossible for family to retrieve and give decent burial.

Also, as part of the humiliation they filmed the death. Is that part of process also? Abeg stop your nonsense.

If they had been executed by prison service their bodies would never have been himiliated like that.

Major Obi was not satisfied with the death....he wanted a complete destruction.

You are so ignorant and naive! Ogoni land & Niger Delta will never support your Biafra agenda. Have you asked why ken saro-wiwa turned his back on Biafra?
In 1966 when the war broke out, saro-wiwa was in the Biafra army fighting against Nigeria.He was the brain behind the invention of the ogbunigwe(locally made machine gun) that killed somany Nigerian soldiers until he saw that ojukwu had a hidden agenda against Niger delta if Biafra had won the war. Go to Port Harcourt you will find some roads & streets in Diobu named Ilaobuchi, Nanka, Ijemanze, Ikokwu, Ojoto etc all the houses in these streets/roads were forcefully collected from their Rivers state owners by Biafrans & their original names were changed & they were given Igbo names. Note that these houses were later reclaimed by their real owners after the civil war.
When the war was going on, Ken saro-wiwa asked Ojokwu to show him the map of Biafra and his plans for the Niger Delta region & it was @ that point he knew that ojukwu & his Biafra cohorts were only after the newly discovered oil in the region & they had no plans for the Niger Delta other than loot & forcefully collect their houses & resources & call us minorities.
Ken-Saro wiwa had to make a U-turn & choose the lesser evil even if it claimed his life some years later.
Mark my words Biafra is dead and gone for ever.

If Biafra is dead and gone I don't think you would have known that such Name exist..

As long as Igbos remain the second largest ethnic group in Nigeria, you can never cow us

(You ought to know what that means) .. We are not minorities that that will face intimidation and resort to assimilate to other major ethnic groups and loose their identity.. Get that into your thick skull..

Ken fell from frying pan to fire.. Killed by the same people he dined with.. Is it that karma ?. Even in Rivers state you don't have a say.. Igbos have more influence than you..

Your environment is horrible.. Poverty everywhere.. Oil will loose it's worth by years to come due to electric cars. No tangible infrastructure in your domain.. Everyday you are crying yet s Igbos are still benefiting from the oil in your domain.. Now who is foolish?

As for the bolded about Ogbunigwe , you must be a clown grin

Bro stop spreading lies, his middle name is not Ayo. He is from Kogi state

He was working with Northern soldiers.

There's nothing like Yoruba guys working for shell.

They were accused of attacking the local traditional rulers and disturbing local peace

Hence, Ken Saro-wiwa's last statement was that "ogoni land will never peace" his hometown for being part of the conspiracy that ended his life.

There were two types of people that face execution at bar beach. Armed robbers and coupists. When armed robbers are killed they are released to families waiting at the prison to receive the body.

When coupists are killed i dont know what they do with their bodies .....but no failed coup during Buhari so there were no soldiers executed at bar beach.

Sharap there jor! Even Ojukwu that led 3 million biafrans dead had to compromise while in exile and accept state pardon. As if that was not enough he created APGA and contested for senate before his death. His wife was a Nigerian ambassador. He was given state burial by the Nigerian army. Why are u guys so daft that Ojukwu with all these actions did not believe in the Biafran dream before his death! Receive sense!

sad story
Like Adaka boro like saro wiwa. Both were naive men who fought their brothers and got double-crossed by their partners.

Boro first declared ijawland Niger Delta republic against Nigeria. When it was time to help liberate Ijawland during the civil war, he joined Fulani federal forces and fought against Biafra and Ijawland liberation, and got killed by men of his own division.

Saro wiwa fought against Biafra and was even said to have benefited from an "abandoned property" with a certain sani abacha after the war. Decades later, the development eluded his people, ogoni land and the entire Niger delta suffered from over exploitation without commensurate effort to invest in the area. He belatedly realised his folly, fought against damage of ogoniland and ended up being hung by same Abacha.

Today ogoniland and Niger delta remain a mess. lessons must be learnt from there sad story. There is no benefit in betrayal.

Only Biafra can bring glory to ogoniland, Niger delta and entire Eastern region.
You dont know history or may be you decided to be economical with the truth. Adaka Boro was imprisoned by an Ibo president for treasonable felony. H e declared Ijaw republic and was imprisoned. The Fulani man released him and promised him a better life during the civil war. Unfortunately for him it was also a deceit and he was killed by a friendly fire.

Mister! I am almost 48years of age, but I still recall certain events as far back as 40years ago! Even kids remember a lot depending on how enlightened and "aware" of their environment, they were as children. The gory details of what the ex-prisoner experienced must have been well-imprinted on his memory, unless if he allowed his mind to deteriorate in prison! To prevent confusion and deterioration of mind during captivity, many people who are literarily inclined attempt to fill in the void of time by writing their memoirs and other literary materials.
