Inemo SamiamaMajor Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro (born September 10, 1938 - died May 9, 1968) (fondly called "Boro") was a celebrated Niger Delta nationalist and Nigerian civil war hero. He was one of the pioneers of minority rights activism in Nigeria.[1] [2] In his autobiography, "The Twelve-day Revolution"[3], Boro wrote about his early life: "I am reliably informed that I was born at the zero hour of twelve midnight on 10th September, 1938, in the oil town of Oloibiri along humid creeks of the Niger Delta. My father was the headmaster of the only mission school there. Before I was old enough to know my surroundings, I was already in a city called Port Harcourt where my father was again the headmaster of another mission school. This was in the early forties. The next environment where I found myself was in my home town, Kaiama. My father had been sent there to head a school yet again"
