kettykin: The poor self image of ikwerre people will finally pan out by 2015 to 2019, port Harcourt is a city that would have been the oil capital of Africa hosting oil and gas companies doing business within the continent , it would have had a faster growth rate than lagos and abuja with an oil and power corridor, many petrochemical industries, gas to electric power station ,gas plants, fertilizer mega plants, plastic plants but all that seems to be finally lost to men of very small mindsets who for a greater part of their existence as an oil and gas power state dissipated energy over their real identity and quarrelled with their next door neighbours whom they have lived peacefully since the creation of the world. About three years ago, a Western journalist that passed through Rivers state lamented the comparatively low state of infrastructure in a state that flows with milk and honey. He wrote in his Western journal that in any other normal country, the Rivers state area should have been outstanding in development given the huge amount of oil resource derived from the area. But unfortunately, oil is tapped from the area but oil companies have their HQs elsewhere. What identity crisis could do to some people indeed. |

patrickmuf: Asari Dokubo, read and learn...talking about passionate activists, do we still have them in 9ja? If Asari Dokubo didn't have a gun, no one would have noticed him let alone call him an activist. The nigga man is a son of the gun. He's not foolish enough to be slaughtered like Saro Wiwa. |

For Ken Saro-Wiwa 16 years the tears still flow freely The blood of the brave still drips like crude Hearts still heavy, and hands still akimbo Men still weep and women still wailing Streets still deserted and soldiers still watching A life lived and groomed for the slaughter The struggle still rages in the delta Shell is still spilling and murdering the fishes The politicians still playing chess with the blocks The road to Ogoni still as treacherous as Syria The Bakassi people are now Nigeria Refugees Our schools till float from June-June Now all we have are Militants Even the politician have started to give amnesty The NDDC have failed to develop anything We have political appointments and then disappointments Shell has agreed to pay compensations in Billions The son of the soil is now the president Dear Ken, nothing has changed since you left Our comrades have gone back to the trades Only now we are shipped in slavery on our own land Rise up Ken, let’s match to Abuja Your struggle, your life and your legacy still lives For you today I drop my hat, 16 years and it still hurts! -2012. 1 Like |

This was the same man Ojuku went to supervise his death and mock while about to die. Well as karma would have it, Ojukwu himself met a disgraceful end died deaf dumb and lonely Ken Saro Wiwa lives on in our hearts Saro Wiwa loved by all and a symbol of the struggle of the minorities who died for what he believed in while Ojukwu would forever remain a cantankerous coward who fled from and abandoned what he claimed he believed in 1 Like |

Ecc. 3:3 says there is time for everything, A time to fight and a time to withdraw, it takes wisdom to do so. if you don't believe me ask Prophet Elijah, after all the prophet of bal, he ran away for just a threat from Jazebel. what Ojukwu saw in sixties was what he saw in nineties. 1 Like |

The rate at which topics degenerate to tribal wars on Nairaland is alarming. Look at a good topic on Ken Saro Wiwa - a man seen a martyr by his people and for very good reasons too! You only need to go to Ogoniland and see the devastation caused by drilling. There are bodies of water that will not be fit for consumption forever! There are lands this will never tolerate vegetation for eternity! There are little children that will never make it to their 6th birthday due to the pollution in their backyard! Those are the issues and not if Saro Wiwa was a saint or not. The question should be: The 'cause' he was fighting for, was it for real? Of course it was. The devastation in their land is for real people. The fact that Saro Wiwa didn't join Ojukwu should not make us hate him. He may have had his reasons. It is not for us to judge him. By the way, who said the same devastation wouldn't happen under Biafra? The issues he fought for are glaring for all to see. The ICJ has indicted Shell - the same thing Ken said and all these injustices against the Ogonis are not hidden anymore. Let's leave this man to rest in peace abeg. Oh by the way, I'm from Arochukwu! 3 Likes |

delegiwa: The rate at which topics degenerate to tribal wars on Nairaland is alarming. Look at a good topic on Ken Saro Wiwa - a man seen a martyr by his people and for very good reasons too!saro handed his ppl to fulani/yorob domination. if biafra survived there's no way ogoni land wud hve been plundered n destroyed the way it was, first its pertinent to note tht we share the same boundaries waters lineages and even hve family ties in ogoniland. Harming ogoni land is tantamount to destroying the eastern region. The fulanis n yorobs are hundreds of miles away and hardly even get to see the lands they drill n lift oil from! Sarowiwa sold his ppl then repented last minute. Un4tnately the deed was already done. He evn supervised abandoned propty saga. Abeggggyyyyyyyyyyyyyy 1 Like |

A thread on Saro-Wiwa remembrance has been overtaken by Igbos and their prejudiced, intolerant and excessively nationalistic stand. They always seize the initiative at the slightest of opportunity to result to loathing of other tribes be it in the SS,SW or Northern Nigeria...Igbos need to know that the World doesnt revolve aronund them. Being a part of the former eastern region did not mean we were all of the same tribe,neither do we share same values, it was just a colonial setup..eastern region had diverse ethnic groups of which the Igbos were the overwhelming majority with plethora of other minorities.. if the igbos deemed it fit to surrender their collective interest to ojukwu such cannot be said of the other tribes..Ojukwu stampeded on the minorities,carried out atrocities against them and even settled many of rivers indigenes in distant lands as far as Ebonyi and then took his igbo group to oil Rich rivers state,but we found our way bck after the war. You do not use force to make people support you..wen an opportunity to be liberated comes,people will grab it with both hands.. Wen an igboman says GOOD MORNING to you better check ur time cos its either afternoon or evening. So you Igbos can keep ur GOOD MORNING,u arent trustworthy. 4 Likes |

Limaoscar: Ken Saro wiwa himself was not innoncent. How about His Ogoni kinsmen/Chiefs who were murdered in cold blood on his directives and incitements? He also lies through His teeth about Shell ( I will leave that for another day) Shell has divested all her assets in Ogoni land as I type this and let's see if that will change the corruption amongst the Ogoni elites. At least I know that even Ken Prior to His death also benefitted hansomely from the Shell oil lagesse to the Ogonis when the going was good. One of the Ogoni kinsmen of Ken Saro Wiwa who was murdered in cold blood on the directives and incitements of the rogue and betrayal artist known as Ken Saro Wiwa was a man instrumental to his rise in fame. Ken Saro Wiwa had inherent tendency to bite the finger that fed him. The imbecilic screwball only remembered Ogoni land was in ruin due to crude oil exploration when Ken Saro Wiwa fell out of favor with the current the government of Yoruba/northern Nigerian Oligarchy at the center of federal government of Nigeria. |

If the fool you called Issac Adaka Boro fought for independent of Niger Delta, how does his misguided action concern eastern region of Nigeria? Even if the deluded Adaka Boro had declared Niger Delta a region instead of a country, how does it concern eastern region? Did the eastern region of Nigeria own army or police? Were army and police contingents that dealt with Issac Adaka Boro belong to eastern region of Nigeria? Issac Adaka Boro challenged Nigeria and got his silly self imprisoned. When Gowon instigated a war of attrition against eastern region, he thought it was going to be a walk in the park as his idiotic British masters had informed him. However when Gowon and his British Colonialist masters realized that the seemingly wimpy eastern region was not an easy take, Gowon and British were forced to release any convicted criminal in Nigerian prisons. Nigerian prisons were emptied of all able bodied men, including Issac Adaka Boro, that can handle a rifle by Gowon and British. |
