On November 10, 2018, Nigerians at home and abroad took to various social media platforms and online publications to celebrate the life and achievements of Ken Saro Wiwa and the other eight activists murdered by the military-led government of the late General Sani Abacha. His post-humous birthday was precisely a month before. He would have been 77years

While he was not the only one murdered on the 10th of November 1995, he was the president of the group demanding a better life for their town and the most outspoken of the lot. The group is the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) and the other eight activists murdered were Saturday Dobee, Nordu Eawo, Daniel Gbooko, Paul Levera, Felix Nuate, Baribor Bera, Barinem Kiobel, and John Kpuine.

These nine men in their lifetime fought for equity, justice, fairness, and freedom. All they wanted was a better life for the inhabitants of their land, the Ogoniland. The oil extraction activities by Shell had polluted the land, and despite the fact that it was one of the major oil spots, the people were compensated next to nothing. Their means of livelihood disappeared with each drill into the ground, but no one thought of creating other avenues through which they could make a living.
