What are African life narratives? How is Ken Saro-Wiwa connected to Maynooth University today, and what impact did he have on both Nigerian and Irish history as well as the discussion on energy systems? Explore these questions and more with íde Corley (Maynooth University) in this episode of the Arqus Knowledge Pills, in which we delve into the world of Nigerian activism and the impacts it has had on Corley's research project, “Energetic lives: African life narratives and the struggle for energy justice.”During the episode Corley digs into how her interests in Irish nationalism and the anti-apartheid movement led her to study African literature and Pan-Africanism, focusing on the intersection of race, culture and patriarchy in African nationalist rhetoric. The speakers highlights during this episode the history of Ken Saro-Wiwa's activism in Nigeria and the role of Sister Magella McCarran, an Irish nun who documented his campaign against multinational corporations to explore these narratives. -------------Íde Corley is an Assistant Professor of English at Maynooth University and previously taught at the University of St. Thomas, the University of Vermont, Tuft University, Trinity College Dublin and held a visiting teaching fellowship on the Programa de Maestria y Doctorado en Letras at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Her research focuses on African and African diaspora literatures; petrocultures and the energy humanities; life narratives (particularly Ogoni) and human rights. She is the principal editor of Silence Would Be Treason, a collection of Ken Saro-Wiwa's last letters from detention, which was cited by Amnesty International in their 2017 report, Shell: A Criminal Enterprise. She has also collaborated in the making of several documentaries about Saro-Wiwa's globally-influential environmental and minority rights campaigns in Nigeria. Her other published work has appeared in Modern Language Studies, Interventions, Wasafiri and the Journal of Postcolonial Writing. She is a member of the Petrocultures Research Group, the ESF College of Experts and an editorial consultant for the not-for-profit press, Daraja, based in Canada. She is currently working on her Eochair award-winning project, “Energetic Lives: African Life Narratives and the Struggle for Energy Justice".

A new report by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change says that most countries, including those in Africa, will find it difficult to have full autonomy over AI systems. According to the Institute, only 32 countries worldwide host AI-specific data centres, leaving around 160 nations dependent on foreign infrastructure. We hear how the situation is for African countries. And, Nigeria wants to resume oil drilling in Ogoniland in Southern Rivers State; thirty years after environmental activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight others were executed following a protest that saw the killing of four tradional chiefs of an oil producing community known as Ogoni. This led to the suspension of exploration by oil giant Shell – the company accused of causing the environmental damage. We hear the views of the Nigerian government and environmental activists.

In 2006, Nigerian-British sculptor, Sokari Douglas-Camp, was commissioned by human and environment rights organization, Platform, to create a work of art in honour of the memory of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Douglas-Camp created a life-sized replica of a Nigerian steel bus, called ‘Battle Bus: Living Memorial for Ken Saro-Wiwa'. It was an artistic symbol of movement and change. In 2015, 20 years after the execution of the Ogoni Nine, Platform planned to commemorate the Ogoni Nine execution and wanted Douglas-Camp's Battle Bus to feature at the event held in Bori, Saro-Wiwa's hometown. But when the battle bus arrived at the Lagos Seaport that year, it was impounded by the port authorities.It is now 2025*, nearly 30 years since the executions happened. Presidents have come and gone; Niger-Delta resistance has, arguably, become more violent and more commercially motivated; public memory of the Ogoni Nine has atrophied, and the battle bus, an artistic work crafted to honour the memory of the Ogoni Nine, is still under arrest by the Nigerian authorities. What is it about Saro-Wiwa that continues to aggravate and possibly even terrify the Nigerian ruling establishment? How have the Ogoni people been able to come to terms with the execution of the Ogoni Nine, and deal with the unresolved environmental crisis caused by oil exploration till this day? What does the crisis in Ogoni and the Niger Delta more broadly tell us about what it means to be Nigerian?In this episode, our final of the season, Wale Lawal finds some answers.

On 22 May 1995, the final phase of the Ogoni Nine trial began. The Ogoni Nine had been in detention since May 1994. Ken Saro-Wiwa's health was declining, and had taken a turn for the worse. Still, the Special Military Tribunal resumed trial. With their lawyers, Femi Falana and Gani Fawehinmi having retired (due to being frustrated by the government), the Ogoni Nine were left without legal representation. If they were found guilty of murder, they would get the capital sentence of death. This was all anyone in Nigeria at the time could think of. After the courts pronounced the Ogoni Nine guilty, public attention turned to whether the Abacha regime would truly go ahead to execute them.Many Nigerians and international observers pushed for the Abacha regime to recall its sentence but on November 10 1995, they woke up to devastating news. From their homes, Nigerians wondered: despite the worldwide appeals, why did Abacha stick to his decision to sentence Saro-Wiwa and the other eight Ogonis to death? What message was Abacha trying to send to the world?In this episode, Wale Lawal finds some answers. Learn more at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠republic.com.ng/podcasts/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

This year it will be 30 years since Nigerian author and environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa was executed by the Nigerian military government for leading protests against environmental pollution caused by oil exploration. He remains an icon of resistance against environmental degradation beyond Nigeria. The campaigns he led saw the exploration of crude oil stopped in Ogoniland, in the country's Niger Delta region, after it became clear oil spills had extensively polluted rivers and farmland, destroying the livelihoods of farmers and fishers. A report published by the United Nations Environmental Programme in 2011 said cleaning pollution in Ogoniland could take up to 30 years. Yet president Bola Tinubu recently announced that his government would begin negotiations to resume oil production in Ogoniland. This sparked protests from environmental rights groups who warned that the region was yet to heal from the damage wrought by decades of oil exploration. In today's Africa Daily, Alan Kasujja has been speaking to lawyer and leading environmental activist Celestine Akpobari and Niger-Delta-based journalist Ndume Green. Producer: Peter Musembi

On 19 January 1994, General Abacha, who had been Nigeria's head of state for just two months, sent a federal ministerial committee to Ogoniland to meet with Ken Saro-Wiwa in Saro-Wiwa's hometown of Bori. The primary mission of the committee was to investigate the oil crisis in the Niger Delta region and make a report on how to solve the crisis. The committee consisted of Alex Ibru, the federal minister of internal affairs; Chief Donald Etiebet, the minister of petroleum resources; Melford Okilo, the minister of tourism and commerce; and Lieutenant Colonel Dauda Musa Komo, the military governor of Rivers State.  Ibru, the publisher of The Guardian, one of Nigeria's most influential newspapers at that time, was a close friend of Saro-Wiwa. Due to his friendship with Saro-Wiwa, The Guardian had given MOSOP a lot of positive coverage and publicity in the news. Saro-Wiwa imagined that with Ibru on the tour, the Ogoni cause would get the seriousness of their struggle conveyed to the country, and to Abacha. However, Lieutenant Colonel Komo who acted as the official escort and guide of the Committee, saw the tour as an opportunity to impress Abacha and show his superiors in Abuja that he had Saro-Wiwa and the Ogonis under his control. With such differing goals between Saro-Wiwa and Lieutenant Komo, what kind of collision was about to happen? In this episode, Wale Lawal finds some answers.

1973 began with Ken Saro-Wiwa being more publicly critical than ever of the Nigerian government he was a part of. Increasingly, he served two masters: he was a government commissioner and he was also advocating for the autonomy of the Ogoni people over their political and economic affairs. Fresh out of a civil war, Nigeria's authorities were intolerant of any form of agitation or activism, especially for ethnic autonomy.  But Saro-Wiwa persisted. He wrote petitions against Shell, and published articles like ‘Genocide in Nigeria: the Ogoni Tragedy'. Through these acts, Saro-Wiwa effectively crossed a line and the government responded in kind. In March 1973, a radio bulletin announced that the Rivers State Government had fired Saro-Wiwa. What did Saro-Wiwa do next? Who was Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro why does he loom large in the origins of Saro-Wiwa's eventual activism?  In this episode, Wale Lawal finds some answers. Learn more at ⁠⁠republic.com.ng/podcasts/⁠⁠.

In photos of the January 4 1993 Ogoni rally, Ken Saro-Wiwa stands out. You can sense his passion, his energy but more curiously his pull. These are very dangerous times to be protesting. Only days before, the Babangida military regime had placed a ban on public gatherings. So what was it about the Ogoni movement that made it (to borrow from the American writer, Toni Cade Bambara ) ‘irresistible' to Saro-Wiwa? Saro-Wiwa was pretty well off and could have lived a much more convenient, non-political life. At the same time, Nigeria is a highly unequal society where the wealthy are often out of touch. This was true even back then; so what was it about Saro-Wiwa that made him connect not just materially with Ogoni people but philosophically, almost spiritually; enough to make them risk even death in joining him on this march?In this episode, Wale Lawal finds some answers.

This is an error. General Muhammed led the 1966 coup but General Yakubu Gowon became head of state. This will be corrected in the audio as soon as possible.

You're probably wondering why we chose to start this season talking about General Sani Abacha, the despot who ruled Nigeria from 1993 until his mysterious death in 1998. The short answer is this: if we really want to understand what Ken Saro-Wiwa, the protagonist of our story this season, was up against, we have to understand Abacha.  What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? During much of Abacha's regime, this was the dynamic between Abacha and Saro-Wiwa. But at one point Abacha seemed to give way, to extend an olive branch. In 1994, around two months into his rule, he invited Saro-Wiwa to become Nigeria's oil minister. What drove Abacha to make this offer? And can you guess Saro-Wiwa's response?

African history is not yet mainstream and we're on a mission to change this. The Republic is a miniseries covering key events and figures in African history. Our second season focuses on the life and legacy of Ken Saro-Wiwa, a writer and one of nine non-violent Ogoni activists the General Sani Abacha military government brutally executed in 1995. The Ogoni are an ethnic group situated in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. For years, they have suffered pollution and environmental degradation stemming from crude oil extraction on their land. Saro-Wiwa's protests against oil companies such as Shell, including his leadership of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), frustrated the Abacha government, which relied heavily on oil exports. On 10 November 1995, after controversial court trials, the Abacha regime sentenced Saro-Wiwa along with eight other Ogoni activists to death by hanging. The eight were: Saturday Dobee, Nordu Eawo, Daniel Gbooko, Paul Levera, Felix Nuate, Baribor Bera, Barinem Kiobel, and John Kpuine. Their brutal arrest and murder marked a pivotal moment not only in Nigeria's history but also in the history of global environmentalism. Nearly 30 years since the Ogoni 9 execution, host Wale Lawal traces the life and legacy of Saro-Wiwa, and the implications of the Ogoni 9 execution. You'll travel to the Niger Delta and hear about life in Nigeria under Abacha's regime, the political rise of Ken Saro-Wiwa, the troubled history of oil in the Niger Delta, the arrest and trial of the Ogoni 9, and how Abacha's execution of the Ogoni 9 continues to shape the politics of Nigeria's oil wealth and what it means to be Nigerian today.

In the 1990s, as oil spills devastate the environment, Shell becomes persona non grata in Ogoniland. Then, when Ken Saro-Wiwa, Ledum Mittee and other activists leading the charge against Shell, are accused of incitement to murder, they come face to face with the power of Nigeria's military government. BBC West Africa correspondent Mayeni Jones investigates a miscarriage of justice which has become an infamous moment in Nigerian history.

There are more ways to conduct and communicate research than merely reporting experimental results. Kerime Opijnen is a recent Ms. Sc. graduate from Lunds University and she shares her experiences using poetry and creative writing as a research format in this episode. Her work focuses on The Power of Poetry to bridge gaps between human rights and environmental devastation in the Niger Delta and oil consumers in the Netherlands. Kerime was kind enough to discuss the role that poetry and creative writing can take as a research method, as a writing form for Master's research, and why non-standard research and writing have value for people across the world. Show Note: Clayton asked Kerime to share some additional information about some of the positive work being done in the Niger Delta by activists. Here is what she said: "When I spoke to Nnimmo Bassey, he was in Port Harcourt in the heart of the Niger Delta. He was there to visit polluted location and the places where contamination is being cleaned up. Particularly in Ogoniland, the clean-up process has started, which in Bassey's eyes vindicates the work and position of Ken Saro Wiwa who was assassinated in 1995. Bassey said that, to him, this clean-up is "a sign that, no matter who has suffered in the past and no matter what was done in the past, one day truth will prevail." Bassey also spoke about the hope that took from the took from the judgements in the Hague and also a recent UK Supreme Court ruling which held Shell accountable for environmental damages."

Rob Nixon is the Currie C. and Thomas A. Barron Family Professor of the Humanities and the Environment at Princeton University. His fourth book, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor (2011), uniquely made waves across the academic fields of the humanities and in the world of climate change activism. In this episode, Rob details the book's origins in his campaigning for the release of Ken Saro-Wiwa, in his anti-apartheid activism, and in his writing about the nuclear aftermath of the US-Iraq War.

The last writings of Ken Saro-Wiwa from prison in Nigeria to an Irish nun in the run up to his execution in November 1995. Smuggled out of prison in bread baskets, they are the final testament of a man who gave everything he had in the struggle for social and ecological justice. As Ken Saro-Wiwa continues to inspire people and movements across decades and continents, these letters form part of our living history, and give us an immediate link with the man behind the hero.

The Board of Directors of Ken Saro-Wiwa Foundation (KSWF) says they will not accept the proposal by President Muhammadu Buhari to grant pardon to Saro-Wiwa and eight Ogoni activists executed by the late military dictator, Sani Abacha, in 1995.In a statement signed on behalf of the board of directors by Dr. Owen Wiwa, the KSWF asked President Buhari to grant their earlier request for the exoneration of Saro-Wiwa and eight others made by the family of the late activist. “Ken Saro-Wiwa and the other eight Ogonis were not criminals. They were innocent activists unjustly murdered for fighting for a just cause on behalf of their oppressed community.“The path to true peace in the region begins with justice. The cleaning up of the environment for which they campaigned and died for is a first good step. “The exoneration of Ken Saro-Wiwa and 8 other Ogoni activists, judicially murdered on November 10 1995 is another step towards peace. “The family of Ken Saro-Wiwa have made a request for the exoneration of Ken Saro-Wiwa to the President in the past and are still waiting for a response. We urge the President to again consider this request as a path to justice and peace.“The family and the Foundation have not asked any individual to ask for pardon or clemency for Ken Saro-Wiwa on our behalf, nor are we aware of any group of Ogonis making such a request,” the statement read

In this episode, Evelyn and Lara shed some light on the struggles, impact, and brutal execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa as he led the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP). Royal Dutch Shell struck oil on Ogoni lands in Delta State in 1958 and this was the beginning of a string of environmental and human rights injustices against the people of Ogoni land till now. A community that was once rich in natural resources became destitute. Dejected by the rapid decline in their fortune, they protested against the pollution of their environment and demanded clean air, water, education, health facilities, etc. **Film recommendation - Oloibiri which can be found on Amazon Prime. It tells the story of villagers' lives and the impact of the discovery of crude oil in commercial quantities in the Niger Delta.

Le 10 novembre 1995, l'écrivain et militant écologiste nigérian Ken Saro-Wiwa et huit compagnons d'infortune étaient exécutés par la junte du président Sani Abacha à l'issue d'un procès controversé. Fondateur du Mouvement pour la survie du peuple ogoni (Mosop) au début des années 1990, Ken Saro-Wiwa avait alerté l'opinion mondiale sur les désastres écologiques liés à l'exploitation du pétrole dans le delta du Niger, fédérant autour de lui des dizaines de milliers de personnes dans des communautés ogonis peu habituées jusque là à manifester pour leurs droits.

#18 Rosa Amelia Plumelle-Uribe. Penser la férocité blanche (1/3)Pour cet épisode, nous avons rencontré Rosa Amelia Plumelle-Uribe, autrice de La férocité blanche, des non-blancs aux non-aryens, génocides occultés de 1492 à nos jours.Aujourd'hui âgée de 68 ans, elle a accepté de nous recevoir chez elle, en banlieue parisienne. Née en Colombie, Rosa Amelia Plumelle-Uribe est descendante à la fois des peuples originaires d'Abya Yala (Amériques) et des populations noires qui y ont été déportées pendant la traite d'esclaves Européenne. Ce que Rosa Amelia Plumelle-Uribe appelle la « férocité blanche », ce sont les crimes produits par 500 ans de colonialisme, dont elle rapporte l'extrême violence et cruauté à travers un travail gigantesque de documentation accumulée et minutieusement analysée pendant deux décennies. Mais La férocité blanche est tout sauf un catalogue de l'horreur. Publié en 2001, ce livre est le fruit de 20 ans de réflexion, qui reste pertinente. Comme Rosa Amelia Plumelle-Uribe le dit elle-même, c'est une compréhension des faits qu'elle propose avant tout. Musique:Julieta Venegas ft.

Ken Saro-Wiwa Poetry Podcast notice by MU Library

On this week's episode of This is the Future Podcast, I relay the history of the struggle and (sadly) the death of Ken Saro Wiwa and his colleagues and draw a parallel between the response of the Abacha regime and the response of Buhari's government to the End SARS Protest.

Ce soir, Black Out vous accompagne, à partir de 18h, en chroniques et en musique ! Au programme, nous passerons en revue l'actualité de ces dernières semaines. Nous vous proposerons un coup de coeur pour Ken Saro-Wiwa. Nous dédierons une minute noire à l'Angola et ses 45 années d'indépendance. Enfin, nous vous présenterons les dernières sorties albums musique noire !

To mark the 25th year of the deaths of the Ogoni Nine - nine men who were executed by a brutal military regime in Nigeria in response to their activism against oil extraction in Ogoniland - IHRB presents a series of conversations about the significance of their struggle and impact of their leader Ken Saro Wiwa.  In this episode - The View from the Ground - Salil Tripathi talks with Ledum Mitee, who was Saro-Wiwa's lawyer, detained with him, and mobilised international opinion for the Ogoni people, Noo Saro-Wiwa, Ken's daughter and distinguished writer based in London, and Austin Onuoha, a peace activist who works towards reconciliation in the Niger Delta. They examine what Ken Saro Wiwa meant to people in the Niger Delta and within the country. They focus on the struggle he built, the challenges he faced, the impact on his family, the family's view on the struggle, and how it impacted the movement for corporate accountability in the Niger Delta.

Melvyn Bragg examines how two writers' work have been shaped by political oppression and explores whether writers have a political role in modern society. The connection between writers and politics has its roots in classical times, but in the 20th century the writer has been called on as the witness with increasing frequency and intensity. And many times the price of articulation has been severe. In the century in which saw the execution of writers such as Ken Saro Wiwa in Nigeria in 1995, and a fatwa imposed on Salman Rushdie, Melvyn Bragg talks to two writers who between them experienced exile, censorship and the manipulation of authoritarian states - Ariel Dorfman from South America and Nadine Gordimer, the Nobel Prize winner from South Africa, to discuss the writing of fiction and political oppression. What, if any, is the writer's political role in our world today?With Nadine Gordimer, Nobel Prize-winning South African novelist; Ariel Dorfman, South American journalist, scholar and author of Death and the Maiden.
