This is evidence that Ken Saro Wiwa is a legend.
That he fought a just fight and cared for justice.
So what do we say of the regime that killed him?

Imagine Europeans immortalized him for justice
while Nigeria immortalized the killer.

Shameful.

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''

Kunta Kinte people. Una don come again.
Oyibo will carry your entire village and leave one umbrella and 2 mirrors for you. And you will be dancing.

There is NOTHING to celebrate. This type of news is best served when there are 100s and 1000s of respects to be shown for damages done. We are so quick to be pacified.

Celebrate as you like sha

BornnAgainChild:
Go to china town .......street wey carry my name der there too

who know you? *in NDA's voice*

KenModi:
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!

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!

It's obvious, you're ignorant of this information too. Ken Saro-wiwa hails from Ogoniland in Rivers state. The state government under Gov. Wike had renamed the state owned Polytechnic, The Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori to Ken Saro-wiwa Polytechnic, Bori. Also, Stadium road, the one leading to the Liberation Stadium, now, Yakubu Gowon stadium in Port harcourt had been renamed in his honour. Contrary to what you have wished, amongst his kiths and Kin, the Ogonis. There is a fresh agitation over the naming of the Institution in their land after the Human and Environmental Rights activist. One reason given was that,the name is localizing the Institution to an all Ogoni School. And wants his name removed from the school, for it to take back its original name.

You are a goat of the highest order!

You think I'm talking about Ogoni politics or Rivers states issues. I'm fully aware of all these things you have mentioned and much more.

I'm talking about at the national level. Knowing fully well what he died for and how he was killed unjustly, smtin at the national level should have been done to immortalize him.

Local politics and tribalism no go kill is for this country

Profkomolafe:
soonestly, the world will celebrate me.

So you are here?

[size=16pt]God Bless the Niger Delta Region!!! We are moving higher no matter what.

God bless Niger Deltans!![/size]

This is GOOD.
The street named after him in his home state of RIVERS is still called Olu-Obasanjo way.

Pya OGONI, bui muege korme tam igbenenee weh si naa lu epe........... Proudly OGONI

you must be a cow to have expected such honours at the national level without a posthumous state pardon. You must be silly for not realizing that, he was charged, tried and found guilty, before he was executed. You must be insane for calling me a goat.

Well, foreigners can do so, even as Nigerian government continues dancing on Saro Wiwa's grave as is typical of her.
