Long live Kenule Beeson "Ken" Saro-Wiwa!

You are not dead, because in death, you have more honour than those who are even still alive that contributed your death.

May they bear the anguish of your remembrance.

Ken Sari Wiwa's last words in court before execution:

“My lord,
We all stand before history. I am a man of peace, of ideas. Appalled by the denigrating poverty of my people who live on a richly endowed land, distressed by their political marginalization and economic strangulation, angered by the devastation of their land, their ultimate heritage, anxious to preserve their right to life and to a decent living, and determined to usher to this country as a whole a fair and just democratic system which protects everyone and every ethnic group and gives us all a valid claim to human civilization, I have devoted my intellectual and material resources, my very life, to a cause in which I have total belief and from which I cannot be blackmailed or intimidated. I have no doubt at all about the ultimate success of my cause, no matter the trials and tribulations which I and those who believe with me may encounter on our journey. Neither imprisonment nor death can stop our ultimate victory.
I repeat that we all stand before history. I and my colleagues are not the only ones on trial. Shell is here on trial and it is as well that it is represented by counsel said to be holding a watching brief. The Company has, indeed, ducked this particular trial, but its day will surely come and the lessons learned here may prove useful to it for there is no doubt in my mind that the ecological war that the Company has waged in the Delta will be called to question sooner than later and the crimes of that war be duly punished. The crime of the Company’s dirty wars against the Ogoni people will also be punished.
On trial also is the Nigerian nation, its present rulers and those who assist them. Any nation which can do to the weak and disadvantaged what the Nigerian nation has done to the Ogoni, loses a claim to independence and to freedom from outside influence. I am not one of those who shy away from protesting injustice and oppression, arguing that they are expected in a military regime. The military do not act alone. They are supported by a gaggle of politicians, lawyers, judges, academics and businessmen, all of them hiding under the claim that they are only doing their duty, men and women too afraid to wash their pants of urine.
We all stand on trial, my lord, for by our actions we have denigrated our Country and jeopardized the future of our children. As we subscribe to the sub-normal and accept double standards, as we lie and cheat openly, as we protect injustice and oppression, we empty our classrooms, denigrate our hospitals, fill our stomachs with hunger and elect to make ourselves the slaves of those who ascribe to higher standards, pursue the truth, and honour justice, freedom, and hard work. I predict that the scene here will be played and replayed by generations yet unborn. Some have already cast themselves in the role of villains, some are tragic victims, some still have a chance to redeem themselves. The choice is for each individual.
I predict that the denouement of the riddle of the Niger delta will soon come. The agenda is being set at this trial. Whether the peaceful ways I have favoured will prevail depends on what the oppressor decides, what signals it sends out to the waiting public.
In my innocence of the false charges I face here, in my utter conviction, I call upon the Ogoni people, the peoples of the Niger delta, and the oppressed ethnic minorities of Nigeria to stand up now and fight fearlessly and peacefully for their rights. History is on their side. God is on their side. For the Holy Quran says in Surah 42, verse 41: “All those that fight when oppressed incur no guilt, but Allah shall punish the oppressor.” Come the day.”

Noo Saro-Wiwa, the daughter of Nigerian writer, television producer, environmental activist, Kenule Beeson "Ken" Saro-Wiwa has taken to her Facebook page to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her father who was executed by the Nigerian Military Government on 10th November 1995 alongside 8 others in Port Harcourt.

Noo Saro-Wiwa disclosed that they had to exhume the remains of her father, who was buried in an unmarked grave, with their own hands decades later in order to give him a dignified burial. She also criticized the Nigerian Government for their failure to give her father an official pardon.

The then President of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), Saro-Wiwa led a nonviolent campaign against environmental degradation of the land and waters of Ogoniland by the operations of the multinational petroleum industry, especially the Royal Dutch Shell company.

At the peak of his non-violent campaign, he was tried by a special military tribunal for allegedly masterminding the gruesome murder of Ogoni chiefs at a pro-government meeting, and hanged in 1995 by the military dictatorship of General Sani Abacha. His execution provoked international outrage and resulted in Nigeria's suspension from the Commonwealth of Nations for over three years.

The anti-Igbo sentiment in Rivers state re-ignited by Nyesom Wike may claim other Saro Wiwas from the state.


Igbo has been the buffer for the oil producing states in the SS.

It’s hard to understand why some people in Rivers state would want the state estranged from the Igbo, thus easily exploited, defeated and ruled.

Hmmmm

Why official pardon? Did he violate the country 'S law

You deserve to be investigated....!

Why should he be investigated?

Do you truly know what IPOB signifies?

An association of people who want Biafra to be restored.

What’s bad with IPOB? IPOB can only be bad in the eyes of parasites in other parts of Nigeria and to a Nyesom Wike who wants to impress northern politicians to appoint him president or VP of Nigeria in 2023.

Wike is competing with Rotimi Amaechi who is a million times smarter than Wike.

May his gentle soul rest in perfect peace.

Why are you so uncultured. What has 'your father' got to do with this?

He fought the wrong person(s). They still are busy fighting the wrong person(s). The right person(s) to fight are their royal fathers and folks who collect the royalties due from the oil majors only to buy SUVs and travel to Abuja where they spend it all on prodigal endeavours such as women of easy virtues, alcohol, and unproductive hotel bills. The moment the money finishes they pawn the SUV for a pittance and return home penniless only to steer up another round of “resource control agitation”! Others will pick up money belonging to all only to invest it elsewhere building Universities that bring no immediate benefit to the communities where the oil comes from. Travel to Port-Harcourt through the Southwest and you will be brought near tears at the sight of the manifest suffering and deprivation the typical citizen there goes through daily and late into the night! Very annoying!!!

What speech! Nowhere did he mentioned the most critical factor of all - their leadership who betray the cause of the people! Interesting to know he was a Muslim and died quoting from the book he obviously believed in! Only if he knew!

I see lots of you refer to Kenule Saro-wiwa as a traitor because he "allegedly" refused BIAFRA. May I remind you that he is 1 million times better than your Ojukwu who ran away during the war, leaving ur grandfathers and fathers to die! The same Ojukwu who wanted BIAFRA, went ahead to contest for President in the same country he despised (his reasons were no doubt genuine). Ojukwu spat on the graves of those who died during the civil war. Saro-wiwa died for something valuable, he died because he refused to compromise. Do well to check the judgement of the pseudo-court on YouTube.

I JUST PROVIDED FACTS, DO SO IF YOU WANT TO COUNTER MY POSITION.

Moferere:


Why are you so uncultured. What has 'your father' got to do with this?

HMMMMMMM

SEE YOUR LIFE.
SO YOUR FATHERS LIFE MATTERS.

GUY THOSE THEY KILLED WERE PARENTS TOO

letristian:
Too bad of Nigerian government at that time

But Ojukwu gave him some insights which he bluntly refused... Until his eyes opened when it was late
The same is still going to happen to those that are refusing alliance thinking the Northerners are their brothers

Truth is bitter is the reason they won’t accept that Nnamdi Azikiwe has to carry the can for the current Northern hegemony that has largely brought Nigeria to this sorry pass when he went into a selfish political alliance with the North. Till today they are struggling to wriggle out of the negative effects of that political alliance.

tarantino1:
I remember reading about this man back then in Primary School.

And we elected a man from that era as our president for two terms under a false guise of Integrity.

IBB even still get mind to contest for election.

Nigerians are definitely the biggest fools on the planet

lol southerners not Nigerians

Ken might be your Hero but he is no one in his community compared to Ojukwu you claimed ran away. Ojukwu death would have been disatrous than him him being Alive. Maybe Tompolo should act brave and surrender himself to this nepostic goverment. Nigeria has not changed, Ken saro Wiwa died for something Honourable, Ojukwu went to war for something Honourable, No one want to be in Ken shoe today but Every right igbo man want to take ojukwu position and keep on the struggle..


Think Thank.

Juliusmalema:
Their business and how does that concern others.


The real issue was that Ken Saro Wiwa thought he could poke nature without consequences,

Well of course he died shamefully regretting his actions

God gives and God takes, God who created Ken Saro Wiwa knows the reason he took him back through such means back then.

I can't question God the giver and taker of life.

u are seeking for attention and u will regret t

I wonder what is regrettable about Ken Saro natural predicament.

this country we no know peace until we ogonist avenge for ur loss

Spare me of your stupidity please.

Owerri people will say “Ewu ndaa tara okwuru ndaa” I.e mama goat chop mama okro. Jonathan...Niger Delta, Ogoni...Niger Delta. GEJ messed up in a number of cases, lack of solace and peaceful redress of some old wounds was one of his many transgressions but who is a Perfect leader...there is something inherently wrong with that Aso Rock that makes people to lost their common sense

dammyz101:
After close to a decade in world court, the Ogoni people won the cases against Royal Dutch Shell, and over 400million dollars was paid as compasation. Nigeria government GEJ collected dat money and promised to help share it for d Ogoni people. Despite all d atrosities comitted against this people our currupt govmnt still conspired wit some Ogoni indigines to loot there compasation money.

Moferere:


Spare me of your stupidity please.
