''We Had To Reassemble His Skeleton Before Giving Him A Dignified Burial'' - Ken Saro Wiwa’s Daughter writes on his 25th Death Anniversary

Today November 10 is the 25th death anniversary of writer and human rights activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa, IgbereTV reports.

In a post shared on her Facebook page this morning, Noo Saro-Wiwa, the daughter of Ken Saro-Wiwa, recounted how her father and eight others were killed for protesting against Oil spillage in Ogoni land in 1993.

Noo said her father's remain were buried in an unmarked grave for almost a decade and when her family received his remains, they had to reassemble his skeleton so they can give him a befitting burial.

Noo pointed out that to this day, the Nigerian government has not granted him an official pardon. She ended by stating that Black lives will matter outside of Africa only when they matter in Africa itself.

Read her post below.

''25 years ago today, my father Ken Saro-Wiwa and his eight colleagues were murdered by Nigeria’s military regime after a sham trial. Their only ‘crime’ was to peacefully pursue human rights for the Ogoni people and to campaign against oil spills in the oil-rich Niger Delta. Their bodies were buried in an unmarked grave for almost a decade.

When our family finally received my father’s remains we had to reassemble his skeleton with our own hands before giving him a dignified burial. To this day the Nigerian government has not granted him an official pardon. It speaks volumes about our so-called democracy.

No government can call itself civilised or claim any moral authority while it refuses to exonerate these innocent men. Black lives will matter outside of Africa only when they matter in Africa itself. #pardonkensarowiwa #pardontheogoni9''

The Jew Nathaniel Rothschild and heir to the Rothschild banking dynasty owns Royal Dutch Shell Company.


It was this same Jew rat who got stupid Igbo marxists headed by Azikiwe to truncate the regional govt arrangement after it became clear to Zik and the Igbos that COR region will be carved out of then eastern region..

Azikiwe then wanted a central govt with Igbos at the top but when the fulanis outsmarted the Igbos , Rothschild then backed them. This led to the civil war which was just a war between the Igbos and fulanis in who will control the oil in the ND

Rothschild then got his puppets in the British govt to back the fulanis while pretending that world jewry was backing the Igbos .



Rothschild will then use the war to make money from both sides but also use his arms supply to Nigerian side to guarantee a near monopoly of Niger Delta oil for the next 40ys..

The fulani and igbos plus the foolish Yorubas are the problem of this country .

Dignity is when you value yourself and reputation.
My brother, you Igbos should have some self dignity and let ikwerre and Niger Delta people be. Allow them to speak for themselves, they have mouth and fingers to type with.
