"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."

Are you insinuating that the other tribes in Nigeria should bow down to the Igbos and acknowledge them as their source of existence?
Did you see worship in his write up??
Did you read what he wrote there at all??
He said come to terms and as far as I know, come to terms means to agree on one thing.

“I spent eight months in a Biafran military prison with my other brothers and sisters - and also our mother. It is instructive that Mr Ojukwu (the Biafran secessionist leader) whose appetite for oil resources "wasted one million innocent lives is now one of General Abacha's advisers.”

Ogoni,ijaw and the ikwerres, urhobos and isokos should please reject Biafra through referendum, if they ever accept Biafra I personally will teach them them a lesson if they do anyhow..because no one keeps a dog that will definitely fight or bite him/her...betrayal runs in their bloodlines... They should be warned.

Ojukwu that was in exile,
Honestly you people are evil
The current buhari SGF was the one thy defended wiwa execution
And you have the gut to suffix truth in that d@vilish moniker

How was Ojukwu on exile in 1995?

Was Ojukwu not pardoned since the early 1980s during the regime of Shehu Shagari, and even contested for Nigerian Senate in the 1983 elections?

First of all, who has more seniority between a Lieutenant General and a major?

Secondly, did you not see that Usaini was a member of the PRC, the committee that recommended death for Wiwa? Usaini more or less gave the order.

while Obi supervised the execution.
Obi have the right to disobey the order and damp the consequences.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/ken-saro-wiwa-was-framed-secret-evidence-shows-2151577.html

Compelling new evidence suggests the Nigerian military killed four Ogoni elders whose murders led to the execution of the playwright and activist Ken Saro-Wiwa in 1995.

The evidence also reveals that the notorious military commander Lieutenant-Colonel Paul Okuntimo, whose troops were implicated in murder and rape, was in the pay of Shell at the time of the killings and was driven around in a Shell vehicle.

Since the time of Saro-Wiwa's death, Shell has insisted that it had no financial relationship with the Nigerian military, although it has admitted paying it "field allowances" on two occasions. It has consistently denied any widespread collusion and payments. However, The Independent on Sunday has gained exclusive access to witness accounts that were to be used in evidence in the case of Wiwa vs Shell, brought by Ken Saro-Wiwa's family. The case was settled last May for $15.5m, just days before it was due to start in New York. The settlement meant the testimonies were never made public.

They provide fresh insight into Shell's financial and logistical involvement with the Nigerian military and with Lt-Col Okuntimo.

One of the key witnesses due to testify was Boniface Ejiogu, Lt-Col Okuntimo's orderly in the Internal Security Task Force, a coalition of army, navy and police. Mr Ejiogu testified to standing guard as victims were raped and tortured while Lt-Col Okuntimo was in command. Asked if he ever saw his commander receive money from Shell, he said he witnessed it on two occasions.

Mr Ejiogu described in detail how, just days before the Ogoni elders were murdered, he drove with Lt-Col Okuntimo to Shell's base in Port Harcourt, where the officer received seven large bags of money. "I was there when other soldiers were carrying the Ghana Must Go bags," he testified. The bags were so heavy the soldiers had difficulty carrying them, and one fell open. "The thing opened," Mr Ejiogu said. "I saw it was money in bundles. He said, wow, this is money. I say, yes man, it is money."

On another occasion, Mr Ejiogu witnessed four bags being given by a Shell security official to Lt-Col Okuntimo at the official's house late at night.

Another witness, Raphael Kponee, also due to testify, was a policeman working for Shell. On a different occasion, he saw three bags being loaded into Lt-Col Okuntimo's pick-up truck by his driver and another driver in front of the security building at the Shell base. Shell officials have admitted that money was paid to the officer, but purely as field allowances for his men, who were protecting Shell property in Ogoniland.

MrEjiogu also offers compelling evidence as to who may have murdered the four Ogoni elders at a meeting on 21 May 1994. Saro-Wiwa was due to speak but was turned away by the military. Mr Ejiogu said he heard Lt-Col Okuntimo tell his task force commander to "waste them, in the army you waste them is when you are shooting rapidly".
