Ken Saro-wiwa's 75th Posthumous Birthday Is Today by lalasticlala(m): 8:31am On Oct 10, 2016 |
Kenule "Ken" Beeson Saro-Wiwa (10 October 1941 – 10 November 1995) was a Nigerian writer, television producer, environmental activist, and winner of the Right Livelihood Award and the Goldman Environmental Prize. Saro-Wiwa was a member of the Ogoni people, an ethnic minority in Nigeria whose homeland, Ogoniland, in the Niger Delta has been targeted for crude oil extraction since the 1950s and which has suffered extreme environmental damage from decades of indiscriminate petroleum waste dumping. Initially as spokesperson, and then as president, of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), Saro-Wiwa led a nonviolent campaign against environmental degradation of the land and waters of Ogoniland by the operations of the multinational petroleum industry, especially the Royal Dutch Shell company. He was also an outspoken critic of the Nigerian government, which he viewed as reluctant to enforce environmental regulations on the foreign petroleum companies operating in the area. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Saro-Wiwa 8 Likes 4 Shares

LORDOFAFONJAS:Who's Afonja? Be reasonable this morning emeijeh:Why not? He was fighting for his people no doubt but He was a deep seated hater of the Igbo. Of the three major ethnicities which he blamed for Nigeria's problems He hated the Igbo the most. Am I lying? The man can go to hell,he is part of the leaders in the ND that entrenched so much hatred between the Igbo and their neighbors. Now look at what we have today. Good riddance! 7 Likes |

iSlayer2:what do u even know about ken saro wiwa ? Yes he never supported biafra and so ? Is it by force? Have a different opinion from igbos does not mean he hated igbos. What u guys have failed to understand is that our fight and struggles are different. Follow ur own struggle and stop dragging others into it by force 6 Likes 1 Share |

bosswina:@bolded...a little research will enlighten you 1shortblackboy:What concerns Biafra with this. Undisputedly Saro wiwa was a Igbo hater till his death. In fighting for the Ogoni,a noble fight,He needn't paint us black before achieving what he wanted to. In anything the Igbo are fighting for they don't paint the minorities black but it's always the other way round with the minorities. Okay,after all of it was has it gained the Ogoni,where is He today? 4 Likes |
