KARMA IS FAIR AND JUST!!
COPIED
The biggest crime committed against the Ogoni people was the killing of Ken Saro Wiwa and his eight colleagues. Their crime was that they mobilized their people against the exploitation of their land. The tribunal was headed by Justice Ibrahim Auta. Other members of the tribunal were Justice Etowa Eyo Arikpo, Lt Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (the incumbent Comptroller General of Customs), while the government prosecutor was Mr Joseph Bodurin Daudu SAN.
The Provisional Ruling Council (PRC), the highest decision-making body of the Abacha regime that took the decision to kill Saro Wiwa comprised General Abacha, Maj. General Patrick Aziza (Minister of Communications under Abacha); Major Gen. Tajudeen Olarenwaju (GOC); General Abdulsalami Abubakar (Chief of Defence Staff); Lt. General Oladipo Diya (Chief of General Staff); Maj. Gen. Victor Malu (GOC); Ibrahim Coomasie (Inspector General of Police); Mike Akhigbe (Chief of Naval Staff); Maj. General Ishaya Bamaiyi (Chief of Army Staff); Nsikak Eduok (Chief of Air Staff), and Lt. Gen. Jeremiah Useni (Minister of the Federal Capital Territory). There was no Igbo man.
It was Chief Emeka Anyaoku, an Igbo man, who as the secretary-general of the commonwealth of nations, that led a protest that made the Commonwealth of Nations to rise to the occasion, and warned Abacha not to carry out his wicked act. Although he later did, the Commonwealth under Anyaoku sanctioned Nigeria.
Today, ask an Ogoni man to show you his enemy, he will point at an Igbo man.
May the spirit of Saro Wiwa, and his eight colleagues hunt you for your foolishness.. An eye opener..

Kenule Saro Wiwa was the champion of that foolishness. A man educated at the famous Government College Umuahia ( Fishers) and University of Nigeria,vNsukka. He led the federal forces against the Biafrans and for his betrayal was made Administrator of South east state. He asked that Igbo properties be declared abandoned properties and be forfeited to them. He personally took over Ojukwu father's property in Port Harcourt which he occupied at a time with a certain Lt. Sani Abacha his friend and killer. To rub in the humiliation of Igbos whom he hated so much, he wrote " Toad for Supper" which was a mockery of how they made Igbos suffer so much during the war that they fed on toads and lizards. He encouraged the Ikkwerres to deny their Igboness and assisted Elechi Amadi to invent the corruption of Igbo names by adding "r" and "y" to form jargons like Rumuokoro and Oyibo instead of Umuokoro and Obigbo. This they said is Ikkwerre a distinct language and tribe.
It is important to note that Ken Sarowiwa was not killed by his co travelers for agitating for environmental rights. Environmental rights was one of his pastimes which he used to extort money and exert influence on government and oil companies. He was killed for the murder of five Ogoni chiefs( Chief Fugbara, Kogbara Kobani et al) . These were men who were opposed to his immoral and outlandish lifestyle and actually wanted a more responsible engagement with government and oil companies. He labelled them vultures.
Masterminded and led a mob attack on these men and killed the five of them in a single day. It was a murder trial and environmental issues was not on the charge sheet. He was found guilty, convicted and hanged. His friend and collaborator in arms, now Gen Sani Abacha was the Head of state. It was not in vain that Ojukwu, (may his soul find peace), made effort to see him at Port Harcourt prison before his execution. Of course all effort to save him by the emasculated Igbos had failed. Emeka Anyaoku did his best. God bless him. Ojukwu visited him and greeted him " Good morning" in broad day light. The Igbo spirit is a forgiving one, the day the Yoruba, Efik, Ibibio, Rivers, Ijaw people will come to terms with the Igbo, that will be when Nigeria will have everlasting peace.

History has Villains and Heroes....sometimes it's a mix of both....maybe most times.

Most Nigerians still think Ahmadu Bello, Obafemi Awolowo and Nnamdi Azikiwe were saints.

But reality is different from perception

Igbos like the Jews are hated by her neighbours for no genuine reason. Ask them why they hate Igbos, They will only reply: They are arrogant and claim 'too know' Is that a justifiable reason? Why not rather floor them with your own intelligence? For them: If you cannot beat them, don't join them, kill them

It's 2019, you people really should stop crying hate when y'all are the progenitors of hate speech in this country.
Nnamdi Kanu made a whole radio station where hate speech was being propagated all day
everyday, calling other tribes unprintable words and even calling for the genocide of other tribes and boycott of their businesses.

If y'all really want secession then there are proper ways to go about it. No country ever gained secession by hate speech and undefined borders. The latter reeks of confusion. Nuff said already.

I understand you,

because truth is hate speech in nigeria,someone say he dont want to be in the same country with you it become hate speech,but someone called a tribe 5% and would never treat them well,it become a love speech,
your traditional ruler threaten to throw the whole tribe in a lagoon,all is love speech.

For this one I can authoritatively say ojukwu greeted him Good morning in broad day light.

Not only that Ojukwu told him Ken am outside and you are inside....good morning.....He shed tears like a small baby but his destiny has already been designed and defined.......death...



Saro wiwa deserves no sympathy.

You are exhibiting your ignorance and arrogance;
1)Without south south Igbo's will starve cause the SS has good arable lands,mineral deposits,water,sizeable landmass etc
As for owerri stop padding lies,there is no way owerri would have been chosen over port Harcourt that already had whites settled there and not too far from oil wells

1) How many south South's are Lecturers,students in both federal and states tertiary institutions
2)How many south souths are holding Elective positions in Igbo states
3)How many south South's are allowed to freely own shops in Igbo land
Don't bite the fingers that feeds you,igbos are given free hands to operate in south south with no hindrance
** Go to federal institutions in any south south states you will see sizeable Igbo's
*** Go to financial institutions Igbo's are well represented
****Go to the oil and gas sector Igbo's are there
****Go to the markets,Igbo's operates freely

Name one southerner or middlebelter or groups that ganged up against Igbos and ended up being rewarded by Nigeria?

Name just one...

No single person or group that has betrayed Igbos is living a good life today.

If anything, igbos are waxing stronger than groups that joined together to fight against and marginalize them.

Nigeria will continue to reap what it sowed.
