I just saw Nneka in concert here in Seattle and fell in love with a song called Soul is Heavy. The song speaks of Isaac Boro. I looked up on-line to see who is he was. Do children learn of Isaac Boro in school? Or as a Nigerian, does everyone know him like everyone knows who Martin Luther King, Jr. is here in the United States. He is an inspiration for human rights.

Unfortunately Mali, not everyone knows Isaac Boro, he is one of those who fought for the liberation of the Southern part of the country. However, a park was named after him in Port Harcourt-a major town in the Niger-Delta part of the country. The reason for this may not be far-fetched, we celebrate mediocre and care little or less for those who stick out there lives to do justice. He is indeed an inspiration for human rights in Nigeria.
