Since he is not betrayer, why was he hanged like the worst criminal?

So he was hanged because he betrayed who? Who exactly did he betray, abacha or who?

Hanged like a goat? I wasn't talking about being hanged but about lickin' Hausa/Fulani asses?

Now hungrywolf, make you no lie o, which state for Naija you dey hustle? Make I bend if na south-east state. grin . If I catch you for Lagos, you go know how far.

Back to Saro-wiwa, he was actually a martyr. Do you know how much Shell paid to his family for his unjust killing? 15.5 million USD. Do you know how much Shell and other oil companies paid in compensating Ogoni land for the environmental degradation of their lands? Google is your friend, you sentimental Flat-head.

Conclusively, I'm sorry I stirred up emotions in you.

Oloshi! grin

Talking about Fulani-asslicking, the following comes to mind...

Nnamdi Azikiwe, a ceremomial, hand-shaking figure head and Tafawa Balewa's "boy" in the first republic.

Alex Ekwueme, Shagari's vice in the second republic.

Sylvester Ugoh, Tofa's running mate in the aborted third republic.

I can bet my life that you are don't live in the south-east region, just like many of your people out there.

Most likely, na either Lagos, Abuja or Kano you go dey live.

Go to the Fulani states in the North and see a lot of your Igbo folks lickin' Fulani asses to make ends meet. Have you ever wondered what scares a lot of your people out of their enclaves

Idiot!

Who is this senseless goat talking trash .hav u bin to the north before.u slowpoke u hav the guts to call igbos asslicking just goes to show how illiterate n dumb u are .the igbos fought even the whites to a standstill how much more our fellow nigerians.I don't even think u are well travelled n versatile otherwise u wud know that igbos go every where n conquer n dominate even their hosts.

All these IBOs spewing trash about Ken. You guys are pained Ken didn't give in to your agenda. I am an Ogoni boy, we love ken, we don't need your love. You guys should stick to your biafra thingy

Well, PH where KSW has an abandoned property that he criminally seized from Chief Obi may well be part of Biafra or Lower Niger Federation. If Ogonis choose not to be a part of it, what then becomes of KSaw's ill gotten properties in PH?

Serves him right..May he continue to roast in hell. For the fact that he apologized to Ojukwu before he was maimed by his Fulani slave masters shows that he really regretted his actions and in-actions but it's too late then.

This is a lesson to other NigerDelta sellout today. Your own death by your Fulani slave masters will be more brutal and humiliating than Saro Wiwa. angry

Once again, may he

continue roasting in hell ..Ewu angry





You your self said he apologised to Ojukwu before he died so what else do you want; a youtube clip of him burning in hell, at least we know him; who know your papa. Eeeeeeeeeeediot

Ken was a true freedom fighter.

RIP embarassed




How was he a true freedom fighter? Ojukwu was fighting to free him and other minorities of what is now known as the Niger-Delta from Northern Nigerian Hausa-Fulani hegemony, while he was fighting to return to 'one Nigeria'. What happened later? Nigeria then won the war and took all the resources of the Niger-Delta people and dumped toxic waste from Oil exploration on their lands. When Ken Saro Wiwa protested, they hanged him. Ken Saro Wiwa along with other misguided Niger-Deltans like Adaka Boro thought the Igbo man was the problem. By the time they learnt who the real enemy was, death was knocking at the door. Ken Saro Wiwa was a foolish man

[quote author=donbuchi1 post=38842843]"I was a graduate student when the cataclysmic events of 1966 happened. Apart from my revulsion at the needless murders of the innocent, nothing upset me more than Ojukwu's dishonest formulations and his attempt to kidnap the Ogoni, among others, into his Igbo empire called "biafra." I knew that he pinned his hopes of the economic viability of "biafra" on the oil of the Ogoni and the Ijaw. I rebelled. I became Secretary of a small committee which met nights in Port Harcourt and issued a communique calling on Gowon to create a Rivers State by decree.

The same oil and wealth he never enjoyed and Ogonis may never do.[/quot




You worked against the growth of your people. I hope you have learnt your lesson and will be willing to work with the Igbo this time. You have the opportunity that ksw never had, a second chance to make things right.

Formerly , there was nothing like south east/ south south. It was called eastern Nigeria/Biafra.
You don't know your history so its clear you have no direction where you are going.

So you don't know that Ojukwu consulted the minorities of the Niger-Delta before declaring Biafra? Have you heard about the Eastern Nigeria consultative assembly? After Ken Saro Wiwa,Adaka Boro and David Ejoor fought to return your precious Niger-Delta back to "Hausa/Fulani control", what happened? Adaka and Ken were murdered and David Ejoor was unceremoniously kicked out of the army and retired while the Oil and gas wealth was stolen. Real sweet. Ken led his people into slavery.

I wonder how some igbo reasons. So every other tribe men that didnot support the biafra during the civil war betrayed the igbo?

Stop blaming other tribes or regions of nigeria for your loss at the war.

Ken Saro Wiwa was among the true fighters that paid the ultimate price for the freedom of the ogonis.

...too bad he was murdered. But you know what, his Ogoni people and other adjoining tribes in the Niger delta respect and honor him even after his death.

The Igbos don't really count when it comes to the issue of Ken saro-wiwa.
Seriously it baffles me how some Fooool(Igbos) are spreading propaganda about this man My problem with them is that, they blame every one for their down fall. These are the same set of people who started "coup" in Nigeria and when others retaliate? They started shouting up and down. Mtchewww.

Point of Correction.. David Ejoor never signed any part with Ojukwu.. and Delta/Edo state were never part of ur old eastern region.. U keep calling Northerners Evil and Ojukwu Saint but u 4got the Evil ojukwu did to mid-western Region.. Ojukwu even ordered 4 the death of David Ejoor because he never submitted to his dream.. is that the Country you want my People to Belong ?...

secondly The Image you showed me above never represented the mind of 80% of Niger Deltans, if it did represented us we would have fought along your army.. The masses never wanted it..

Stop insulting our Heroes because they didn't accept your dream..
