Exactly thirteen years gone by and the spirit of environmental rights activist and writer Ken Saro-Wiwa’s spirit has not been appeased but then i’m sure like the pessimistic mantra of Dandy in his popular work ‘bassey and company’, he’d chorus ‘ I should have known that’.

For a start, the splat between oil major, Shell and the Ogonis-ken’s kinsmen- is far from over. A bogus committee set-up by erstwhile Nigerian leader, Olusegun Obasanjo received a rude shock when the committee’s arbritrator, Rev. Mathew kuka was heckled by a large crowd during a clandestine make-up party between both parties, this contrary to ‘Madam’ another character in ‘bassey and company’ was not a matter of cash, http://connectafrica./2008/11/10/letter-to-ken-saro-wiwa/
