NOBODY CAN INSULT THE MEMORY OF OUR BRAVE SOLDIERS AND GET AWAY WITH IT, MASSOB HAS BEEN TAUGHT A LESSON IN PATRIOTISM: Following worldwide condemnation the planned Uwazuruike/Massob desecration of the memory of the 3.5 million scheduled for our Worldwide Day of Mourning 30 May 2014 with their saboteur jamboree with enemies of Biafra planned on the same day has now been cancelled. In a newspaper advertorial (The Sun Newspaper of 22 April 2014) by MASSOB, the group admitted that it was foolish of them to be handing out awards to killers of Biafrans especially the murderer Peter Obi who is in a Massob list of prominent saboteurs to be honoured on the same day we remember the bravery and sacrifice of the best fighting force that mankind has ever known. As genuine Biafrans were planning to mourn and remember our heroes that died for us, Uwazuruike was also busy planning to contaminate and insult their memory on the same 30th of May with his festival of fun, drinking and dancing with the same saboteurs, corrupt Igbo/Nigerian politicians, collaborators and Hausa/Fulani agents that are responsible for the deplorable state of affairs in Biafraland.

Ken Saro Wiwa and the curse of Biafra: A lesson for ‘Believers’ in One Nigeria In 1967 Ken Saro Wiwa was among the few Ogoni people who foolishly believed in One Nigeria at the expense of their people. By 1990 Ken Saro Wiwa was fighting the notion of One Nigeria as he sought to create Ogoni Republic. By 1995, he paid the supreme price for betraying Biafra. The story of Ken Saro Wiwa is a lesson to every Biafran who still believes in the deception of One Nigeria concocted by the British and sustained by the Hausa-Fulani oligarchy. Nigeria has never been, and will never be one. The realisation of this simple truth is the beginning of wisdom. By the time those who are still asleep with this deception of One Nigeria awaken from their stupidity and start agitating for separation, they will be alone and will face the supreme price as Saro Wiwa did. Every individual and group who went against the Biafra cause have all seen the repercussions of their folly. Today, the Hausas and Fulanis are strange bedfellows with all the Middlebeltan ethnic nationalities (Tivs, Birom, Idoma, etc). These were the same people who gathered to fight the emergence of Biafra. In an article for the UK Independent, Donu Kogbara, an Ogoni-born daughter of a former Biafran Ambassador to the Britain, wrote, “Saro-Wiwa had never been 100 per cent idealistic about anything. Read some of his earliest writings and you’ll discover that he opposed those who supported the Biafran civil war mostly because he thought that sedition was bad for one’s career. And if you could have tuned into some of his conversations with me in the late 1980s/early 1990s, you’d have discovered that he later changed his mind about sedition and decided that it was a great vehicle for ambitious African politicians.” Kenule “Ken” Beeson Saro Wiwa, was born in 1941 in Ogoni. A son of Ogoni chieftain Jim Wiwa, Ken was born in Bori. He attended secondary school at Government College Umuahia and on completion obtained a scholarship to study English at the University of Ibadan and briefly became a teaching assistant at the University of Lagos. Ken Saro Wiwa was a founding member of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) and initially served as it spokesperson, before becoming the President. Most people today know Ken Saro Wiwa as an environmental activist, who died in the course of fighting Nigerian government and multinational oil companies operating in Nigeria. But not many are conversant with the role Ken Saro Wiwa played during the Biafran-Nigeria war. Despite the fact that Biafra Republic was declared by a consensus of both the Igbos and other ethnic minorities in the present day South South and South East, regions, Ken Saro Wiwa was among the few Ogoni people who viciously opposed Biafra. As compensation for his betrayal of his people and country (Biafra), he was made the Civilian Administrator (equivalent to a governor then) of Bonny Port, from where he and Isaac Boro helped the Nigerian 3rd Marine Commando, led by Col Benjamin Adekunle to push back Biafrans. Ken enriched himself during the war, emerging as one of the richest men in Ogoni as a result of his assistance to the Nigerian government. Donu Kogbara, wrote, “Unlike 99 per cent of Ogonis, Saro-Wiwa did well out of that civil war. When everyone else was broke, he was rolling in it.” Ken Saro Wiwa did not stop at that. At the end of the war in 1970, Ken Saro Wiwa serving under the governor of the newly created Rivers State, Lieutenant Commander Alfred Diete Spiff, as a Commissioner of Education, played active role in the illegal and forceful repossession of properties belonging to the Igbos in Port Harcourt, which were abandoned in the course of the war (Abandoned Property saga). He used part of the property he coveted from Igbos and the money he got from the Nigerian government during the war to set up real estate business and retail ventures. Ken Saro Wiwa’s nemesis started when he fell out with Governor Diete Spiff in 1973 and was sacked as a commissioner in the state. Having amassed a lot of ill gotten wealth, he briefly abandoned politics and went into full time business and writing. By late 1987, Ken Saro Wiwa started a campaign for the sovereignty of Ogoni land, hinging his campaign mostly on the fulcrum of environmental degradation, in order to draw international sympathy. Donu Kogbara stated that “Saro-Wiwa told me that if I totally committed myself to his campaign, I would become dazzlingly famous and rich beyond my wildest dreams. He enjoyed listing all the ‘silly’ white liberals who might bankroll the Ogoni cause (which he had conveniently ignored in the 1960s). He used to tell me, in fairly bitter tones, that whale-saving white liberals didn’t care about the Third World’s ‘real’ problems. ‘But environmental complaints will get to them,’ he would add.” In 1987, General Ibrahim Babangida knowing Ken Saro Wiwa’s pedigree quickly co-opted him into his administration to silence the campaign. Ken served briefly in Babangida’s administration but later convinced he had more to gain as the President of Ogoni people, left the Babangida administration to concentrate on the campaign for liberation of Ogoniland. Ken Saro Wiwa started a non violent campaign against the Nigerian government, with MOSOP. But his intolerance to moderate members of MOSOP who sought to the liberate Ogoni via a less confrontational approach turned MOSOP into a very violent organisation. At the peak of his campaign, in 1994 Ken Saro Wiwa, who had already been arrested twice and released without trial by the Nigerian Government under the leadership of General Babangida, incited and masterminded the gruesome murder of four Ogoni Chiefs, who he perceived as pro Nigerian government. He fell into General Sani Abacha’s hand by this singular act and was consequently arrested and tried in a special tribunal constituted by the Nigerian government. He was inevitably found guilty and sentenced to death by the tribunal alongside eight other MOSOP leaders (Saturday Dobee, Nordu Eawo, Da Princeniel Gbooko, Paul Levera, Felix Nuate, Baribor Bera, Barinem Kiobel, and John Kpuine). Donu Kogbara whose father nearly died with the four chiefs and who was quite close to Ken Saro Wiwa, confirmed Saro Wiwa’s complicity in the murder of the Ogoni Four. While sympathising with Ken Saro Wiwa’s family, Kogbara was quick to point out that Saro Wiwa was not really saint as the international community has been led to believe. According to her, Saro Wiwa saw the Ogoni struggle as an avenue to amass wealth, prominence and power. Kogbara writing for the Independent wrote this about him, “I did not approve of the kangaroo court that sentenced Ken Saro-Wiwa; and I was horrified when he was judicially murdered by Nigeria’s brutal military dictators. But whenever I’m asked to comment on Saro-Wiwa’s erudite, swashbuckling life and truly tragic death, I feel obliged to say that, despite his good qualities and the fact that his aims were partly laudable, he was an awesomely efficient publicity-manipulator who had a dark, power- hungry, rabble-rousing side that led to the deaths of four Ogoni moderates. He was a risk-taker. And he lost the gamble.” On 10 November 1995, Saro-Wiwa and eight other MOSOP leaders were gruesomely hanged by the Nigerian military. Rumour had it that Saro Wiwa was hung several times before he finally died. Despite this ignoble and painful death, Ken Saro Wiwa’s and his colleagues’ bodies were further desecrated by the Nigerian military who dastardly dissolved their bodies with acid, living no trace of them – not even a bone!
