There is constant electricity here.

I stay at Galadimawa.

Best decision I made since last year as someone working remote also.

Please, how do you guys find this remote jobs?
I really need a job, and I'm currently in Abuja. Help a bro 🙏

KEN SARO WIWA could not believe what happened to him. Lesson: Do not sabotage your own people's efforts towards their liberation.

He never believed Abacha would confirm his death sentence!

From Oputa panel revelations, on the day of his execution, unable to face his fate with fortitude because he believed that his sentence would be commutted.

When they came for him, he kept on asking if Abacha was aware?

He Resisted being led to the execution point, kept on protesting for time as he expected reprieve would come at the 11th hour.

To calm him, he was shown the execution order signed by Abacha, but he frantically denounced it as fake, demanding audience with Abacha immediately.

The officer commanding the squad, a junior officer told him, the only report his superiors would listen to would be report of his death and nothing else.

Wiwa reverted to telling his killers how close he was to Abacha; the afternoons they spent playing tennis at 2nd Artillery brigade in Port Harcourt in the 70s, the nice evenings they used to have. That during the Ogoni protests, he had expected Abacha to have called him based on old times and asked him the least Ogoni would have accepted.

Wiwa pleaded and pleaded for his life to be spared. His pleas fell on deaf ears.

"Oh God", he screamed, let my pleas work. His eyes were greasy with welling tears.

Why should today be his last day on earth?
What crimes did he commit? That he asked for his people to have a share of the wealth that comes from their land? The land that no longer supports farming or fishing because of oil spillage.

He mistook the officer's dark reflections for contemplations of pity!

Any independent observer would conclude that Saro deserves pity and more. He had worked for it. His efforts during the civil war shortened the duration and saved thousands of Nigerian soldiers lives.

You see, while the Biafran blocked Omanelu and Isiokpo axis through Elele Junction, Saro was able to organise guides who guided the Nigerian soldiers to infiltrate through Etche, Alulu, link up to Ihiagwa and Nekede, connect Obosima and cutoff the Biafran soldiers who had successfully blocked the 3rd Marine Commandos Advance led by Black Scorpion.

Wiwa was rewarded with appointment as the Civilian Administrator of the port city of Bonny.
And it was really this bit of history that was the bone of contention.

He rightly or wrongly believed he had equal stake in the territory called Nigeria, having staked his life and helped in defeating those who were neigbours to him.

So, the shares of spoils of war, for which oil was the paramount spoil should be extended to his people, because without their efforts it would have been impossible to subdue Biafra in the battle field.

Remember that the 3rd Marine Commandos were eventually routed from Owerri, just before the end of the war, wherein Black Scorpion among the few to escape, had to escape dressed as a woman, for which he was court marshalled and dishonourably discharged. Adekunle the scorpion died a pauper, neglected by the federal side he fought for.

On the other hand, Wiwa's erstwhile partners in conquest/crime, believed they have more than adequately rewarded him by making him an administrator of the city of Bonny and also making him a commissioner in Rivers State.
So he should keep off the oil, whether it was drilled from his village or not.

Posterity would judge who was right between him and those Abacha represented. For me as a scholar, I believe his requests or demands were in other. Eye wey see deal, the follow share. The child who pounded the pepper is entitled to a share.

Wiwa's fate had been decided, the day he asked about the oil.

The recipients of the message were people from the oil-producing communities. None would dare ask questions about "our oil" after Wiwa's execution.

At that point, the captain gave his orders and he was lifted up, struggling and protesting till he was tied up and killed.

When the question of the whereabouts of Wiwa's body was raised at the Oputa panel, one of the soldiers giving evidence reported that it was completely dissolved in acid.

☝🏾This is an intelligent narrative beautifully written.

But I should add that Mr Saro-Wiwa - like Adaka Boro and many other "Niger Delta" youths who would betray their new republic - had studied at secondary school and university on Eastern Nigeria scholarship.

It should also be noted that because of Saro-Wiwa's betrayal, he was also rewarded with countless number of "abandoned properties", including some previously belonging to Chief John Anyaehie (late father of Barr Nnamdi Anyaehie, CoS to Governor Uzodinma).

Late Sani Abacha and late Saro-Wiwa onced lived together in one of the abandoned properties he had seized.

Ken Saro Wiwa's son, Ken Jnr also died very young. He died suddenly in London on 18 October 2016, aged 47, after suffering a stroke.

Finally, recall that, before Saro-Wiwa's arrest, he had run to the same Enugu and the same Chukwuemeka Odimegwu-Ojukwu he had betrayed, to ask for Igbo intervention in his murder case. It was then that Ojukwu uttered that immortal word "Okokorokoooo" to the frightened Ogoni man.

The meeting that Saro-Wiwa attended was at Hotel Presidential Enugu, built by Michael Okpara who had given Saro-Wiwa scholarship to study at Government College Umuahia - and also betrayed by Saro-Wiwa! - from Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu

Nailly:
Dey play.

It means Nigeria unjustly balkanized one tribe into over 6 States.
For no just cause.

Hahahahaaaa 🤣🤣🤣 werey say an one tribe. There is nothing like ijaw as one tribe in the true sense of it. None of the so called ijaws speak same language, neither do they understand each others gibberish 😂😂

The southeast is supposed to have an additional state to bring it at par with other geopolitical zones.

And I think it was resolved that the state to be created is Adada state, from the present Enugu state.

In my opinion, I would prefer an Adada state than an Orlu state.

You don't know History and you don’t want to learn that’s your problem.

Bonny people are not Igbo people; they are a mixture of Ijaw, Kwo, Bille, and tribes beyond the Igbo settlements and of course few FEMALE SLAVES OF IGBO EXTRACTION, I mean when slave trade was abolished what do you think happened to the slaves still in captivity waiting to be purchased and shipped that no one bought? Especially the females? They became concubines, wives etc.

They integrated into the community it doesn’t mean the community became Igbo because of that 1 or 2 warehouse/barracoons/celler/dungeon of slaves NO!. those slaves became part of Bonny and the other Niger delta tribes/towns they were freed in. That’s why you find this types of communities in Rivers, Delta etc.
Where they have some Igbo-ish names or some similar languages. Imagine 1/3 the moms in a village call chicken Oboko. In the market, to their children everywhere what do you think their children will call chicken? And after 2 generations, someone asks what do you call that? And they say Chicken or Oboko is that prove that the entire village comes from the same village that initial 1/3 of women in the village came from?

you cannot say Bonny is Igbo simply because a few of them had mothers who were of Igbo extraction during the slave era, that’s like saying America is an African country solely because some slaves from Africa are now Americans or some of todays Americans trace their origins back to Africa so USA is African or belongs to Africans. That’s a very weak argument.

We “most of the Niger delta tribes” with access to the ocean dealt with Europeans and Igbo slaves and slaves from beyond the Igbo villages we have people from my own village till today who are 1/16 portuguese, 1/8 British does that make us Europeans? Delta/Edo one of them had a king whose mother was full white European woman as far back as the 1700’s-1800’s and his children and grand children ruled as well.

We speak English and have spoken English since after the arrival of the first British ships in 1861 and we spoke some Portuguese even before the arrival of the Brit’s as early as 1472 we traded with them wore their clothes adopted their names and some of their beliefs and customs does that make us Europeans?

If it doesn’t Why should the fact that some of us a very small % in Rivers for example out of 26 LGA’s only 2 speak what nearly resembles Igbo or is somehow mutually intelligible to Igbo or even adopted Igbo names and language why should that make them automatically Igbo and in turn make all of us in Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Edo, Cross River, Akwa ibom all Igbo?

The funny part is we trace our origins to Ijaw, Bini, Efik etc or a combination of 2 or more of these but yet you guys are the only once forcing us to be you. Is it not suspicious?

Ijaw people have never one day claimed anything in Rivers or anywhere else even though we tell Ijaw every day we are Ijaw.
Efik people the same , bini people the same, ogba people in Rivers have been begging the bini people going to their festivals every year yet you don’t see them insult and forcefully drag rivers state as their own personal property.
Only Igbo people do this.

Parts of Bayelsa and Ondo are Ijaw and Yoruba you don’t see them doing what Igbo people are doing.

During the Biafra war we saw pepper 🌶️ in your hands, During the Old Eastern Region we saw Shege, you had your chance to show us we are one but you blew it. Igbo’s are simply looking for people to lord over people to insult and claim “we smart pass”.

We are suspicious of you people. Leave us alone. No be by force

IronGalaxy:
what does the black race got to do with your cities?

You go explain tire 🤣🤣🤣
All we know and what all discerning minds know is that Bonny is Igbo.

If you like continue typing your gibberish, time will tell

Continue lying to yourself.

On the contrary, you're the one deceiving yourself and some gullible folks as you.

Opobo is not and will never be an ijaw town. Opobo is and has always been an Igbo town from time immemorial, even before King Jaja Nwachukwu of Opobo.

You lots can never rewrite history.

@General Ditari.

ATTENTION THE WHOLE WORLD

This is what is happening right now!

These are Eket boys numbering over one thousand conducting a total barricade of the only access road to and from Ibeno Local Government Area.

We received intelligence report about this yesterday night and sent out warnings about the impending problem, but we also advised our youths in Ibeno to stay vigilant but remain calm.

The Ekid people of Eket and Esit Eket, according to reports, are demanding that the remapping law surreptitiously signed by Udom Gabriel Emmanuel few days before leaving office last May be implemented. The evil remapping law was aimed at creating routes in order to bring Eket, Esit Eket, Onna, Mkpat Enin, which are completely hinterland local government areas, to border on the coast so that they can take benefits of the Petroleum Industry Act and the proceeds which accrue to oil producing communities therefrom.

Reports have it that these same scenarios are replicated both in Eket and Esit Eket Local Government Areas. By this multiple actions, the youths of Eket and Esit Eket are in collusion to barricade all the possible road access to Ibeno Local Government Area. Boys numbering well over one hundred from Edor in Esit Eket have moved towards Ibeno and are threatening to overrun Upenekang, the headquarters of Ibeno Local Government Area. Considerable restraint has been placed on the youths of Ibeno to remain calm in the face of this aggressive attack.

For months now, I have been reporting the various secret meetings by prominent members of Eket and Esit Eket Local Government Areas to perfect the devilish plans to enter and cause mayhem in Ibeno. This is the beginning of the manifestations of those secret meetings.

The people who are doing this are given impetus by some top ranking politicians from Eket and Esit Eket Local Government Areas. Some of these politicians hold high political offices in the government of Akwa Ibom State. They seem to be romping around.

This Cri.minal how many times have I warned you to stay clear of Ogogoro?

Ijaw or whatever you lots call yourselves does not have any iota of land in Akwa Ibom State. Mumu man

Ijaws were unjustly balkanized into 6 States of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Akwa Ibom States when we are fully together and not even scattered by God.


Port Harcourt even started from Ijaw land.

@General Ditari.

CRI.MI.NAL!

Na our Port Harcourt u wan claim abi?

No any part of Port Harcourt is ijaw, Port Harcourt is Ikwerre land and forever Ikwerre land. Ikwerre mekaa.

That was how u lots wanted to take over the entire Warri, and relegating the real owners (Itsekiris) before they now dealt with u people by giving u guys a bloody nose. Don't worry Ikwerre will replicate what Itsekiri did to u guys in Rivers State.
