A street was in Amsterdam South East, after late Nigerian Author and Environmental Activist from Ogoniland, Ken Saro-Wiwa, who was summarily executed by hanging by late General Abacha in 1995.

Everyone that has made a comment above me needs to be knocked on the head to give them some sense.

Instead of you to the ashamed of the fact that a foreign country chose to remember one of our fallen heroes of democracy, human and minority rights, while we have done nothing to honour him, not even in the slightest way, you are all stroking your corks and massaging your egos.

You are all a disgrace! angry

Looking at the comments below me, all I can do is give up.

No wonder it is becoming internationally agreed that 60 percent of Nigerian youths are IGNORANT!

And your point is?

The whites will go to foreign lands UNINVITED. Kick the Ass of all the black people and claim massive territory that they would name after themselves.

The blacks will sit down meekly and look. When after 1000years, the whites, decide to do appease the blacks, they name 1 street after you and you are all somersaulting.

Well, we are the ones letting ourselves down. Out leader has already AGREED INTERNATIONALLY that we indeed are fantastically corrupt and we haven't proven him wrong ever since.

t's so good to hear about such and may his soul rest in peace he is a true hero a man I respected a lot but naming that street after him don't really moved me because that country where that street is it's one of the country that caused his death simply for his stand against environmental pollution in which that country Oil company was a major culprit. Please I 'm not moved a bit its just a prank to proof a point when the damage has be done.

Saro may heaven gives you a peaceful rest the demons that killed you are at it again even more brutal than ever.

What a load of crap, and you thought you made sense?
The point OP was making isn't about white appeasing blacks or white imperialism.. Its about a foreign country celebrating an environmental activist who paid dearly with his life while he had bearly gotten any form of recognition back home.. I doubt if you have ever read about the Late Saro Wiwa.. Educate yourself .. ''google is on your fingertips''

Which part there is the crap?

Did you name the street yourselves? Or did you wait for the white man to favour you and name the place for you?

It is a pity. We have all been conditioned to import products and accept hook line and sinker whatever the white people manufacture. We have nothing good to show the world.

Our president agreed that we are Fantastically corrupt. He CANNOT defend that statement to the international community.

Enjoy your 1 street celebration sha. Ooni of Ife is about to set a building on fire in the USA. Just read the news.
