Ken Saro-Wiwa: his last interview, part II

[Zaramoku]

This man miserably died out of self subscribed stupidity. Everything he whined about here, even though germane, was told to him by Biafran leaders twenty years prior. He rejected them, joined the same rulers of Nigeria he was criticizing here; and he enabled the same people he was criticizing to hold onto power tightly, while marginalizing the Igbo. I feel sorry for Ogoni because they are my people. I do not feel sorry for Wiwa because he was hoisted by his own baton..

There is no minority in nigeria, the north have an open boarder and boost their population from Niger,Mali and Chad. The north created 44 LGA in Kano and allocation is given based on the number of LGA meaning Kano takes the lion share of the oil revenue. Why would people from chad, niger and mali who own oil blocks in the Delta care about the environment? Ken was killed by the same Chadian called Abacha after we supported them to keep nigeria as one...all for the sake of oil.

The spirit of true son of Ogoni still lives on. Ken is loved at death even more than when he was alive! Adieu Kenule Beeson Saro -Wiwa.

Rest in peace Ken

[MegaT1K]

@TroyArn He won't be forgotten indeed.

[BAJALA1]

@TroyArn I hope not , great men like him are usually forgotten

[Antoshik81]

I would be wildly surprised if Shell and Chevron had nothing to do with this man's murder!

[menzytenzy]

I am a nigerian but not niger deltan and this story is very touchin. now we really know who the "resource rapists" of the world are...we've always known actually.

[wdcsucks1]

and these bastards killed this wonderful man? i wish shell and all these oil "companies" will rot in hell!!!

[EgbesuJuju2010]

Perhaps now that there is a similar situation in Louisiana ,people will understand the evils of the oil multi-nationals. Something must be done. The battle continues!!!!

[princessadekunbi1]

It is a pity Ken is dead but I believe his work will continue. Our government should be gunned down. How could they allow this to happen to our people. Shell new better and I agree with Ken that their behaviors are racist and prejudist. God Bless you and may your soul rest in perfect peace.
