Eriokanmi:
See this one.Obi had done what most of the so-called politicians of today couldn't do in sacrificing for the country. During the military rule when the whole world sanctioned Nigeria and shunned our oil, it was Obi led those wbo rescued Nigeria,else hunger would have killed many. Tinubu ran away during this time. He was the negotiator for crude between Nigeria and Asian countries, through which we were able to sell our crude and live.

Without his efforts, there might have been no Nigeria anymore.

You are comfortable with this bare faced lie.. thun,dear stri.ke you people

Thanks for sharing Naptu2.

Comrade Shehu Sani is among the recipients of national honours announced earlier today.

I am very happy that at last the he, the following people (and others honoured today) whose sacrifices had/were gradually being forgotten are at last honoured:

Alao Aka Bashorun - NBA President who used the platform to fight the military government and had to flee the country at a time

Ayo Obe - President of the Civil Liberties Organisation and in my opinion she was the first lady of the movement. I used to wonder what a "lady" like her was doing in the movement!

Chima Ubani - through and through democracy activist and later Executive Director of CLO who later died at the age of 43 in a car crash soon after restoration of civilian government. He died on his way back from a rally in Maiduguri to protest the incessant hike in the prices of Petroleum Products. This post (https://www.nairaland.4free.org/1938/chima-ubanis-death-unfortunate-incident) on Nairaland about his death did not go beyond the first page and probably did not make front page.

Bagauda Kaltho - Journalist. Erroneously linked to a bombing incident on January 18 1996 at the Durbar Hotel, Kaduna. The miliitary government's Special Task Force on Terrorist Activities insinuated that the body of someone found at the site of the blast was that of Kaltho, on assignment to destabilise the military regime,

Festus Iyayi - Was ASUU president and use that platform to fight the military

Gambo Sawaba - not as educated as the others on this list but was a defiant force, powerful mobiliser and loud voice of the movement

Bamidele Aturu - During his NYSC programme, refused an award of the best corps member of the NYSC 1987/88 batch because he didn’t want to shake hands of the military of Niger State, Lawan Gwadabe, in protest against military rule. I believe was sanctioned by NYSC for this.

Emma Ezeazu - former NAN President and also former secretary of CLO

I am so happy that Mrs Ayo Obe is finally being recognised.

It's unfortunate that a thread that should have served a platform for providing important information about the sacrifices of true patriots is being turned into a cesspool of tribal and political hatred.

Within the few minutes of my reading the original post of this thread while it was on the first page and me typing a response, the thread has spiraled out of control.

Pity!

Habbeyy:
Teenagers were saying that he was honored because he ed APC


But sowore should also be honored

Sowore will reject the honour and abuse the Government, more reason he was excluded.

That was a long time ago. How time flies.

I would have loved to see the following listed as heroes of the struggle by Comrade Sani also honoured:

Alhaji Balarabe Musa - PRP governor of Kaduna State
Col Yohana Madaki - action governor of then Gongola State and later a lawyer/activist
Col Umar Dangiwa - former military governor of Kaduna State and later June 12 stalwart

Enugurangers:
This is golden. From the achieves. That man and sowore don tey for the struggle.

Archives rather. okkkkkkkkkkkk. So I must write 40 words before making meaningful post.

You must like Asiwaju. He only does what's right.

Good for democracy. For many years it will seem like they fought in vain but finally the are all being recognized and that's a good thing. Better late than never.

This is still continuing from where Buhari stopped

His democratic antecedents has been rubbished with SOE in Rivers. Another president will also come to erase that.
