In our last episode, we discussed the murder of four Ogoni chiefs, Albert Badey, Edward Kobani, Samuel Orage, and Theophilus Orage, at Giokoo on 21 May 1994. We also discussed how their deaths emboldened the General Sani Abacha regime to arrest various Ogonis, especially those who were members of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP). Following the murders of the Ogoni chiefs, Rivers State military administrator, Lieutenant Colonel Dauda Musa Komo, and the Abacha regime finally had their way in to disrupt MOSOP. On May 22 1994, Komo held a press conference, where he accused MOSOP of the murders, using a bag of bones retrieved from the scene of the crime. But how did the government decide who to arrest? And what can the nature of the arrests that followed Komo's press conference tell us about the government's true intentions? In this episode, Wale Lawal finds some answers.

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.

There is something beautiful about intelligence; it reveals how much we can become when we put ourselves to the task of searching and asking the right question.I am always fascinated by knowledge because our becoming, being, and living all rise and fall on the back of what we know. All of these begin with our intellect, the sum of our cognitive facilities, and the capacity for reasoning. This is where light comes to our mind, we develop, and our external world becomes a recipient of our realities.On this episode of the Word Café Podcast, I am honored to have someone who has embraced her intelligence as a gift and built a future.  Her name is Dr Nwamaka AkpodieteDr. Nwamaka Akpodiete is a post-doctoral research associate in vector biology with Target malaria, based at Keele University, United Kingdom. She conducts molecular ecological studies to understand the population dynamics and ecology of the African malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. Additionally, she provides support and training in molecular ecology, ecological statistics, and scientific writing at African partner institutions. Nwamaka has a 12-year of work experience in Higher Education involving teaching, mentoring, laboratory and field research, project supervision, and related administrative roles.   Nwamaka has a broad-based undergraduate and postgraduate education and research training in biology, biochemistry, molecular biology techniques, next-generation sequencing, entomology, zoology, and environmental sciences. Her BSc (Animal and Environmental Biology) research project was on the ecological dynamics of soil microarthropods about hydrocarbon pollution. She identified some bioindicators of soil pollution and microarthropod species indicative of soil recovery. This interest in environmental health led to an MSc in Environmental Quality Management. Nwamaka's MSc project was on the dipteran larvae in polluted water bodies in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The project linked disease vectors such as Anopheles gambiae s.l. and Culex quinquefasciatus to indiscriminate waste disposal in Port Harcourt City, Nigeria. She also holds an MSc in Entomology and Pest Management from the University of Port Harcourt.  Her research interest in public and environmental health culminated in a Ph.D. in Entomology at Keele University, United Kingdom. Her Ph.D. research was focused on the evolutionary larval divergence in Anopheles gambiae s.l. About rice field domestication in Africa and improvement of An. gambiae s.l. Mass-rearing protocols for release. She also evaluated the use of zeolite in mosquito rearing and the characterization of microbial communities in the insectary via 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The study revealed ecological consequences of environmental manipulation, which has resulted in the speciation event in the malaria vector An. coluzzii, resulting in the year-round transmission of malaria and increased urban malaria. The findings from her Ph.D. research are relevant for malaria vector control, irrigated agricultural and urbanization policy reevaluation, and improvement of sterile insect techniques and gene drive protocols.  Nwamaka is actively involved in malaria campaigns@Zeromalaria to eradicate malaria in Africa.Support the show

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Sokari Douglas Camp CBE (@sokaridouglascamp) Sokari Douglas Camp was born in Buguma, Rivers State, Nigeria. She studied fine art at Central School of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art. Sokari has represented Britain and Nigeria in National exhibitions and has had more than 40 solo shows worldwide. In venues such as National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institute 1988-89, the Museum of Mankind, London 1994/5. Sokari works intuitively and on her own, she draws ideas and works on the scale suggested by her drawings. Works vary in size from 30cm to 5 meters and more depending on the project. She is interested in movement, clothing, Kalabari culture, theatre and the environment. Kensington + Chelsea Art Week (KCAW) is delighted to present its fifth annual Public Art Trail.
