Cleaning and restoring ogoni would be a better honor

Slytiger:

As per abacha and the governmentin power during that era, they commited a crime. So they need to be pardoned.

They didn't commit any Crime


Gen Abacha was just looking for scapegoat to
renew his "Juju"

Abacha was into that type of stuff as Maj Al Mustapha testified to at the Oputa .
We still the case of the Poor Hausa girl selling Oranges that Maj Al Mustapha said they used after Abacha's Marabouts told Abacha to sacrifice a virgin when he was ill

Or was it Kudi Abiola's assassination too

Last Last Abacha still died scandalously despite all his Marabouts fortifications

This won't change our mind about your bad governance.

All these show of funfair doesn't change my stand about him and his leadership style. Honestly speaking.

Lithiumite:
Those obidients would always have something to complain about.....many don't even know the heroics of these guys or the ogoni struggle.....also Mariam abacha should come explain to us why her husband killed them.....I hate rubbish.

Truly painful what Abacha, a very wicked and evil man, did to these men who are heroes fighting for equity that some did not believe in then and still do not believe in today. I will not mention names but we know them.

They are gathering today, forming a coalition of opportunism, to try and grab what they feel belongs to them by birthright.

Wonderful posthumous recognition for heroes some maligned as treasonous villains. Wonderful too that Falana, who fought valiantly against the execution of Ken Saro Wiwa and others, was also conferred with a national honour same time as the Ogoni 9.

chiiraq802:
Some tribe are discrediting what the president did while the Ogoni people, the tribe ken saro wiwa is actually from are having a positive feelings about it.

If he was ur father,would u be happy?

For not committing any crime.

Abeg make we hear word.

What is the NDDC and the Tinubu newly created SSDC meant to do if not what you request? Please think before you rush to post hastily out of bitterness and hatred for others.

Tinubu has tried, as no previous President has, for all region with all geo-political blocs of Nigeria now having development commission the FG is funding to operate.

goodyvin02:
And this is substantive development

I cry

Abi

And how does it solve Nigeria problems

Is this the renewed hope you promised Nigerians.
It's a pity

Good gesture

Yyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggggg Seun count am e reach 40?

stupidity can not be hidden, it will always express itself

goodyvin02:

This is call nation healing. Stop crying.

He is not my father, he is also not ur father...His people closer to him, the people he fought for are having a positive feelings about it. so why should I, a total stranger cari there matter for head. Is dat not madness.

Good one from the Jagaban Dike Simba 1. Renewed Hope

Kewekubosineh:
Tinubu should have used this opportunity to grant state pardon to Nnamdi KANU,ipob leader under incarceration.

The ovation would have been loudest and provide the window for national reconciliation.
He has missed the opportunity.

Leaders all over the world gauge the mood of the nation and act accordingly. The Nnamdi KANU case is a sore on our national psyche and Deep divide on national integration.

Tinubu got this wrong!

IGBO leaders should visit Buhari, Kanu and Tinubu for possible peace and perfect the release of Kanu.
Is Kanu ready for the peace,
How will Buhari feel and what is the correlation between kanu and peace currently been enjoy in the East.

Slytiger:



Nnamdi kanu is a terrorist and many igbos lost their lives due to his terrorism activities.
If Kanu is pardoned, then we might as well pardon all thr criminals currserving jail in kirikiri and other prisons across Nigeria.

But you forgive BH terrorist and gave them amnesty

The joke is on you

Godfullsam:
He should also grant presidential pardon to mazi Nnamdi kanu.

You can't grant pardon to someone who has not been convicted of any crime

muykem:

Don't mind them. Always miserable and wallowing in doom and gloom.

Obvious some Nairalanders will never have wives, husband, girlfriends, boyfriends and even friends because they are miserable soul.

Meaning they are human beings others will prefer to avoid.

The Pardon is a welcome development.
Sani Abacha was just power drunk.

Is obvious James Ibori political pardon will soon be announced.

Useless. Honour people alive with good governance

Very good gesture by the president

ZACHIE:
Pardoning Ken Saro Wíwà and conferring national honours on him and the Ogoni9 is quite thoughtful.

Not just thoughtful, it was the right thing to do. He has buried Abacha in eternal shame with this act.

The Ogoni9 will never be forgotten for their bravery.

Why didn't past governments didn't see the huge reservoir of goodwill in pardoning the Ogoni9 all these years? Munafiki Obj would never have done it, anyway.

Tinubu is strategically placing himself in the good books of some block votes. No doubt.

Well said.. I've been pondering this earlier. Could someone educate us what exact crime did Ken Saro Wiwa and his team commit to warrant arrest and death?

ibechris:

For not committing any crime.

Abeg make we hear word.

People like you must always find a reason to be unhappy even if there is nothing to be unhappy or displeased about.

Is the posthumous recogntion for the Ogoni 9 not President Tinubu's acknowledgement that are not guilty of "committing any crime"?

Abi you want him to magically bring them back to life to please those who can never be appeased , like you and your kinsmen whereas most normal folks will concede that PBAT, unlike others before him, has done the possible best by the the Ogoni 9?

Na una way sha so I am not surprised by your needless bitterness and disinterest in giving credit to whom it is due. I.e PBAT.

They wouldn't happy, they will say he is looking for SE votes.

Ijoba85:
Tinubu is undoing the wrong of past leaders and making peace with the aggrieved. You too much City boy

While himself is surprising dissenting voice in is military democracy.

Oakenshield:
Very thoughtful na wa for seun and compulsory 40

I just don't understand the man again.

Most Forum I know don't have that kind of character or word limit but our own pensioner cap wearing Ogun State Zuckerberg will always come up with funky ideas.

Godfullsam:
He should also grant presidential pardon to mazi Nnamdi kanu.

Kanu should expect 40 years imprisonment.

That'll teach others.

Lithiumite:

It is very possible her husband never discussed with her why he executed them.

Godfullsam:
He should also grant presidential pardon to mazi Nnamdi kanu.

I think pardon comes after conviction, there is nothing to pardon when you have not been convicted of any wrong doing. Since the case is ongoing, Kanu has to exercise his right to defend himself in full.

Oakenshield:

Compulsory no be joke


I didn’t reach, let’s try again

Olachase:
I am just typing anything because nairaland want me to turn to talkative


Just for me to post I need to write 40 words

you guys are getting it wrong on This own

I really don't understand the meaning of that.

How many ogoni people have you spoken with
