Remembering Ken Saro-Wiwa And The Ogoni Nine_Ebi Johnny Okorodas
On the 10th November, 1995, Nigeria experienced a pivotal and tr@g!c event with the ex3c^t!0n of Ken Saro-Wiwa, a renowned environmentalist, playwright, and outspoken critic of oil-related environmental d@m@g3 in the Niger Delta.
Saro-Wiwa, alongside eight other activists from the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), had campaigned tirelessly against the ecological d@m@ge and economic marginalis!on brought on by extensive oil extraction, particularly by Shell.
Despite international appeals for cl3m3ncy, the milit@ry regime under General Sani Abacha authorised their exec^t!on, triggering a wave of global condemnation.
This led to diplomatic and economic sanctions against Nigeria, drawing widespread attention to the severe environment@l and hum@n rights issues faced by communities in the Delta.
