#KakandaTemple: In Defence of Sadiq Abacha

Abacha, our Abacha, the last of the true Generals and defenders against western imperialism, is dead and Nigerians, whose cowardice is both genetic and legendary, have become activists united against his ghost.
You see, our activists only pick a fight with the dead, they pick a fight with this dead soldier, because they lack the "street credibility" to mobilise the people against living politicians—merely to prove their bravery to their white sponsors who, they pretend they don't know, are just manipulative imperialists exploiting the poverty expressed in their demonstrations of patriotism. Even those cockroaches who remained in the dark, unspeaking all through Abacha years, have now gained baritone voices, fabricating stories of their "involvements" and "engagements" in "pro-democracy struggles", as they queue behind a frail old man, Wole Soyinka, to vilify Abacha and even us.

Centenary: Outrage as Abacha’s children attack Soyinka

AbachaTwo children of the late maximum ruler, General Sani Abacha, on Wednesday singled out Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, for what can be described as a venomous attack.

While Gumsu, one of the late dictator’s daughters,  took to her Twitter page to pass disparaging remarks on Soyinka, his brother Sadiq chose blogs and online forums to snarl abuses at him.

According to them, their grouse against Soyinka borders on a statement he made that he rejected the centenary award by the Federal Government because of the inclusion of their late father’s name on the list of awardees.

To Sadiq Abacha - on behalf of Wole Soyinka by Ayo Sogunro

Sadiq Sani Abacha gets the first reply to his open letter to Prof. Wole Soyinka from writer/activist, Ayo Sogunro. Read below and tell us what you think...
I do not know you personally, but I admire your filial bravery - however misguided - in defending the honour of your father, the late General Sani Abacha. This in itself is not a problem; it is an obligation—in this cultural construct of ours - for children to rise to the defence of their parents, no matter what infamy or perfidy the said parent might have dabbled in.

You Turned Out Like Everybody Else – Sadiq Abacha Writes Open Letter To Prof. Wole Soyinka

If you want to think, speak and act logically then you should know all three.
1. The law of identity
2. The law of excluded middle
3. The law of non contradiction.
Now let's look at each one of these and see what they mean in practice.
