Ken-Saro was a hero , Naming the polytecnic in his home town BORI after him was the right thing to do.

In the nearest future Federal University Otuoke will be Renamed after GoodLuck Jonathan.

In 5 weeks, he has done this. Odili & Amaechi in nearly 16 years couldn't do anything close.
Moreover, Bori is in Ogoni area, so very appropriate.

As for Pseudo-Mallam Amaechi, he dare not offend his Northern masters by doing anything close.

Buhari won't like anyone reminding us of Abacha's brutality.

you may not like him, but his decisions are worthy of note. KUBS was a great son of Africa & should be recognized as such. And this is the 1st time he has been properly recognized, we are still waiting for MKO's recognition.

Truth be told, Igbos hate Saro-Wiwa because he scuttled Biafra.

Nnamdi Kanu and his bunch of f00ls in Aba will by now have heard of the direct statement by the governor of Rivers State as regards Biafra

Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has renamed the State Polytechnic, Bori, after the late author and environmental rights activist from Ogoniland, Ken Saro- Wiwa. Wike explained that renaming of the institution, located in Bori, Khana Local Government Area, Ken Saro- Wiwa Polytechnic was in honour of the late activist’s achievements and legacies. The governor, who disclosed this in a
statement issued in Port Harcourt on Thursday, said Saro-Wiwa fought selflessly for the good of the society and humanity. He explained that the former Ogoni leader and his achievement should not be consigned to oblivion, saying Saro-Wiwa was known and revered beyond the shores of Nigeria. “In honour of his monumental achievements and legacies, the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, has renamed the Rivers State Polytechnic in Bori as Ken Ule Beeson Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic. “The memories of avatars like the late Saro-Wiwa, who fought selflessly for the betterment of society and humanity should not be consigned to oblivion, more so, when such personalities are revered beyond the shores of the country,” Wike said in the statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Sir, Opunabo Inko-Tariah.

I can't add further other than that Buhari was a close confidant of Abacha when Ken Saro Wiwa was hanged by Abacha regime.

Wike has just dared Buhari whose influence is sagging day aftef day because of his punitive presidency.

You don't have to criticize everything my brother. Do you know how much it would cost to establish a new higher institution? What about salary issues? The man is from Ogoni Land and the school is located there as well and therefore even if he establishes a new school, it is most proper to rename this particular one after him.

I'm a man of ideals; a man values. My ideals shall live. You may kill the messenger, but you cannot kill the message- Ken Saro - Wiwa, shortly before he was murdered by the midget who BUBU said never stole.

This is indeed a welcome development. Ken remains one my greatest inspirations.
