Each time I watch this it reminds me of the legacy of good people lives for ever. Today Abacha is gone, Ken is gone, but Ken is remembered for good deeds, Abacha for wickedness and evil.
I wonder if we can still have this kind of selfless leader in our world today. I heard about Ken since early 90's, but sincerely untill his death I never knew how powerful he was. I'm proud to be an Ogoni. The struggles of Ken has only embolded me. U can kill a messenger but u can't kill the message. For me, living life means nothing if that life cannot be sacrificed for an idea that one holds so dearly. I love my people and I'm happy Ken has given me a voice.... One day, justice will reign in our land!
The youth must NOT let his message die. We are not free until we are free! People are still suffering today from the unjust poison of Ogoni land by Shell.
ÞSo wait a Chinese media firm is posting documentaries about African freedom fighters while China is persecuting it's own people who dare demand freedom from evil communism, while at the same time enslaving Africa via bad debts and neo colonialism? What kind of irony is this? These documentaries are meant to hoodwink Africans that China is one of us...but be not fooled sons and daughters of the soil...it is a facade....China ain't our friend...the dragon is the devil.
Today I mourn Ken Saro Wiwa. I felt his pains and frustrations as a minority group in the north central and it is my resolve to stand for the same ideals he stood for and dare to die for that which he died for...JUSTICE!!!
i wonder why some broken people will give this docuseries thumbs down...R.I.P Ken Saro Wiwa...he found his course in life and went through boldly...respect...Abacha, where is he from? Hausa or Fulani?? i wonder if hez resting in peace.
Tear's dropped off my eyes hearing this history for the first time..he was a great hero that can not be replace by anyone in this country today! Rest on man struggle continue
This just shook a sad and powerful reminder of how the colonial powers would use agents of one African ethnicity against another to achieve their goal of manipulation as during the slave trades. Seeing this for the first time, and seeing the struggles for Ken Saro-Wiwa's struggle for his people, the Ogoni people just showed the magnitude of a man he was to stand up for the rights of his people and in essence an example to others facing such dire straits to do the same in respect to their own concerns.
The unjust killing of Saro-wiwa still represents a scar on the conscience of the nation called Nigeria. What saro-wiwa stands for remains at the core of the problems of the Nigerian state. It remains an unresolved and unaddressed direct indictment against Nigeria. Nigeria can therefore not find rest until there is justice for Saro-Wiwa.
Indeed a true son of Africa and great Nigerian patriot.May his legacy inspire more NIgerians to fight for freedom of speech and equity.Fondly remembered and idolized in India through Ken Sarowiwa Hall near ISBT in New Delhi in 1993.The Hall hosted an international seminar on language and nationalism which i was privileged to attend alongside famous Kenyan writer Ngungi wa Thiong'o with whom we shared lunch reminscing on "Decolonising the mind".That was the period when gatherings of more than three people could earn you the brand of a traitor and a prison term.Peace and blessings to the Ogonis and others who find themselves in such injust social and economic situations.

He put Ogoniland "on the map," the man says...Why ? because he was such a superlative writer, that is the sentence after sentence. perfect. (His daughter Noo is damn good too). I found his book I think in the British Council library in Dar es Salaam, in 2000, is where I discovered Ken Saro-Wiwa. from the USA. thank you.
Xami Wan: it's only Jesus that sets people free. Nobody can set anyone free by sacrificing themselves. We can sacrifice our lives for a worthy cause only
yes that's true talk But Our lives need someone no matter whom You are or what you have your lives need someone as your destiny Helper thanks for the privilege and the wisdom.
As an African American His story makes us proud yet very frustrated. The world owes Africa billions of dollars and until Africa becomes one continent and mobilizes its power it will never be compensated properly or gain any power. This wouldn’t keep happening if the people and countries were unified. The resources the money the brain power the hearts of the people to see past the bullshit and help each other take control and build a better world for everyone!!
This was a story I followed in the midst of a brutal civil war in my country, Liberia. It touched me a lot. The Ogoni people were betrayed by the rest of Nigeria.
You are entitled to your opinion,but I think that he, like many of the elites of the present South South geopolitical region whose areas had belonged to the pre-civil war Eastern Nigerian region were victims of the choices they had made with regards to which side of the conflict they aligned themselves with. I doubt whether anyone in the old Eastern Nigerian region would have ever thought of subjecting his longtime neighbors to the level of degradation that has continued to be seen in that area that could be considered as the geese that lays the golden eggs in the economy. I recently came across something said to have been stated by one of the leaders of the Niger Delta region to the effect that they were being misled by some of their older leaders into believing that their real enemies were in the Southeast, but when they went to the National Assembly to push for the increase of their federal allocation for derivation, they were surprised to find out that the South eastern delegation not only supported them with a block vote,but equally joined them when they decided to stage a walkout on account of the opposition mounted by the very same supposedly friendly people they had been told to approach to help them. There’s an adage that states that, it’s not until a man or woman tastes two different marriages that he or she discovers which one of them is more beneficial than the other. The tragedy is that as at now, the people of that area are still being misled into seeing enemies where none exists.
I lived in West Africa from 2/67-2/70. Never heard of any concern for the neighboring countries helping their brothers. Now, as an adult, I can see why. Like one of my brothers said in his comments,”the same people that killed him are still in power today” . May his soul ever Rest In Peace🙏❤️ as the struggle continues!
Thank you for sharing this educational video about Nigeria, big oil, the Ogoni people and the life of Mr Ken Saro-Wiwa. I believe Mr Ken was a genuine hero.
The body of hero can get perish, but the vision couldn't lost until the history become reality and successful in the years to come..I love to African life regaining, united and work for the service of unity.
GOD so their is people's That Ready to die for humans right and safe the lives of others and mostly the poor . God I'm feeling touched about these great man.

His daughter is stunning and extremely articulate. She could easily be a super model. It is a terrible tragedy that Gen. Abacha got away with killing him.
Read her book. Great travel writing. Just because she's beautiful doesn't mean her only worth is as a super model in Europe. Nigerians are articulate. And she writes for the Guardian
His son Ken Wiwa has written a beautiful autobiography that also provides Kan Saro-Wiwa's biography in a way. All this info is just part of what the son says. I like where he admits that his story begins where his father's ends.
You can kill a revolutionary but you can't kill his message. According to historical evidence, revolutionary always carry the victory at the end of the day because history provide actual evidence that will eventually lead to his victory. Long live to all revolutionaries in Nigeria for ever.

Ken Saro-Wiwa saved his people. Very few stands up to the might of their government and that of West companies. It's frustrating and disheartening to see people living in such dangerous conditions and looking at their rivers contaminated to the core by oil. coming from those served pipes. The Nigerian government neglected the Ogoni people for years earning money from Shell oil companies at their expense. It's a pity Ken had to pay with his life to later get attention. At least Ogoni people are now recognised in their own Motherland Nigeria. Thanks to him and those who embraced and supported the struggles.😢😢 Long live Ken Saro-Wiwa!❤
Alright I'm great full with this video I just finished watching and if everyone may asked me why am great full I will just quickly say that Nigeria need to be divided according to this video I just finished watching because it pains me alot the way my country so called Nigeria is not encouraging to see as Nation because of corruptions and oppression. I Nigerian citizens vowed to let BIAFRA reign as they want.
Enorme testemunho este documentário sobre Ken Saro-Wiwa, admirável patriota nigeriano e africano. Tive a oportunidade de conhecer o seu vasto e versátil trabalho através da comunicação social e do seu livro Um mês e um dia, traduzido e publicado para português, nos anos noventa.
Her father was not a saint. After the civil war, he and his Western and Northern cohorts confiscated and forcefully took properties of the Igbos in the name of "abandoned property".
after reading - Richard North Patterson's ECLiPSE - i became touch - mind - heart and admiration - so i surf - knowing the devastation of Niger - delta - water , environment and everything that happened to the people affected with this oil company - Her daughter is so beautiful - so with his son - God bless to them ! You are lucky to have a Ken - Saro - Wiwa as your Dad !
Your father was a true man of the Most High.He stood up for justice and his people.A real man who stood for what he believed in.All praises to our Creator.We need more men and women who are not afraid of the created because they can only take the body but those who are wise will fear the created which can destroy both body and soul or restore dry bones to eternal life
This is really painful. I wonder how his family especially his children have managed to live through the pain of how a lesser man in relation to the quality of the human spirit executed a quality human being like their dad. The pursuit of justice can be very expensive. May his rich soul continue to live in peace.
A Truly Inspiring Being! His Execution, When I Was 22yrs old, Changed me From Rastafarian To Eco-Conscious! I Honor Your Sacrifice! And Your Struggle, Is My Struggle!
These are the kind of spirit that we should pray to our God to wake up and spread to many that we can be royal to africanisation and think about our people before I think about myself long live these idea
GM.take the foot step of your great father let them not stop u now keep the struggle of your father going live by his examples he set if u let vanity and greed take u away then u betrayed your father's intention .God be with u and family ✊✊🙏🙏🙏🙏Love u my bro .I left this with u The Marcus Garvey book. The opinion of Marcus Mosia garvey
There is nothing unusual or strange about Kens death. Reading the scriptures, the prophets and several of God's messengers including JESUS were killed and so do we also have in our contemporaneous society. But one thing unique in all these killings associated with truth telling is that the MESSAGE REMAINED UNKILLED while the messengers have been killed at onetime or the other
BLACK STARR : and what created you? You think it's marine spirit? In the name of Jesus every knee will bow on earth in heaven and under the earth. Juju and voodoo you believe in is the work and deception of Satan the chief antichrist
@@zion-pikin5968 Jesus Christ is forever King of kings. Lord of lords. Creator and was not created. First and the last. At the mention of HIS name every knee must bow.
Children are a Blessing 😘, ❤️💛💚🤑🤑🤑🔥🔥🔥, What makes me happy even though I was Born in Kisii County in Kenya in East Africa in Africa! The Son is A Duplicate of the Late Dad?
Abacha didn't contribute anything to Nigeria, yet he had the audacity to murder those who were industrious. Wiwa was a playwright, activist, author, business tycoon, etc. Abacha was a soldier of no immense value to the republic.
The money he stole alone can not still be recovered till date. He killed innocent men, no wonder he died a terrible death. Did such a wicked man make heaven? Only God"s mercy and decision is the final. My heart weep when souls go to hell. Abacha's death and his whereabout today is a wake up call for rulers. The Lord Jesus Christ does not want any one in hell, and offers time for us all to be prepared, by virtue of our life-time. The bible says except you repent, you shall like wise perish. Only God knows when he will call our number. It does not matter when, what matter is for us to be ready daily and always. It is appointed for men to die once after that is judgement Hebrew 9:27.

A very deep sigh I gave listening and watching this documentary. Oil companies, governments of Nigeria & the people raped ogoniland & the effect is still there today.
My dad was his personal friend and I believe I may have met him personally as a kid.. his book on Ogoniland was one of the first real books I read as a kid...
Take some responsibility brother. It isnt the British that's stealing the wealth of Africa at moment but hedonistic and kleptocratic indigenes we call leaders.
Am Francisca Kerubo Veronica Alexander Nyangiti a Kenyan living in Kigali Rwanda, from Today 29-06-2020, am starting to PRAY for the Beatification of Ken Saro wiwa Who was Murdered Because of There Own, Shell Company must ask the People of Ogoni For Forgiveness and the Dictators of The Nigerian government, Whom with Abacha?
He stays a true African hero. Amazing what time has done to our African leaders. Mugabe is there too, criticizing such actions only himself to betray the African revolution to his own ego. May we all win over the African struggle
Shell paid Ogoniland $15 million? That's peanuts compared to what they've extracted & the environmental degradation they caused. That's not justice, it's cruel & unusual punishment. They wouldn't dare do such in the western world. BP paid billions & continue to pay to this day for the oil spill in the Gulf Coast in the U.S.
The story of Ken Sarowiwa is really an emotional one. Then it was Abacha, and now we have Buhari all with same agenda that Fulanis must domination and own our resources and annihilation of any one who opposes that. Sarowiwa was unjustly killed through judicial process and Nnamdi Kanu was to be unjustly killed through unjust military python dance. All by the same people. Why can't all come together and fight this battle of liberation to a just end. It is not late. Let us all support IPOB movement as Nnamdi has guaranteed the autonomy of all groups. It is really painful to see how we have been loosing our brave people like Sarowiwa and the young youths in the python dance. May they RIP and continue to interceed for the success of the liberation struggle.
I can't believe Igbos are mentioned as one of those marginalizing Ogoni people!!!! Igbos that escaped extinction by genocide via pogroms and civil war? When was the last time we shared a state with Ogoni people? When was the last time,Igbos ran affairs in Nigeria? From the oil boom of 1970s till now,what has Igbos got to do with this? Really?
I hope that you will now count out the Ibos amoung the 3 major groups that are causing the trouble in the area. They are also victims of the marginalization and so want to liberate themselves. IPOB is alive now to correct the wrong of many years. How I wish the Ogonis will join the struggle for liberation. No one should sit on defence in this struggle for together we will win.
Igbos have never marginalized any minority groups in Nigeria. Worst part is that, these Ogonis still hate Igbos as though we did them any wrong. We've always been on their side but they hate us for nothing while cozying up to the very people who despoil their land.
Each time I watch this it reminds me of the legacy of good people lives for ever. Today Abacha is gone, Ken is gone, but Ken is remembered for good deeds, Abacha for wickedness and evil.

GOD in your infinity Mercy change my story from zero to hero
As a young boy ken was my hero, my idol. Abacha the pig is not a real man. Let’s fight for ogoni people
Children are a Blessing 😘, ❤️💛💚🤑🤑🤑🔥🔥🔥, What makes me happy even though I was Born in Kisii County in Kenya in East Africa in Africa! The Son is A Duplicate of the Late Dad?
Very true I'm from kisumu county here this story of ken is sad very sad abacha was a demagogue.
Think Kibeho Mama wa Jambo Sanctuary, Think CEMENT Think Alhaji Aliko Dangote. Am Proud of You 🌹🌹🌹🙏.
Abacha didn't contribute anything to Nigeria, yet he had the audacity to murder those who were industrious. Wiwa was a playwright, activist, author, business tycoon, etc. Abacha was a soldier of no immense value to the republic.
The money he stole alone can not still be recovered till date. He killed innocent men, no wonder he died a terrible death. Did such a wicked man make heaven? Only God"s mercy and decision is the final. My heart weep when souls go to hell. Abacha's death and his whereabout today is a wake up call for rulers. The Lord Jesus Christ does not want any one in hell, and offers time for us all to be prepared, by virtue of our life-time. The bible says except you repent, you shall like wise perish. Only God knows when he will call our number. It does not matter when, what matter is for us to be ready daily and always. It is appointed for men to die once after that is judgement Hebrew 9:27.
Nope! Abacha is more important. He is a Fulani man and a general. You need one or two of that to be sure of safety in Nigeria.
Saro wiwa killed local chiefs so justice was served
@@bolanlebamidele683 abacha wasn't a fulani man, he was from kanuri
@@powerman6952 Thank you very much for the information.
AFRIKA LOVES KILLING HER SUN'S N FORGETTING THEM R.I.P 2 ALL THE FALLEN SUN'S OF MAMA AFRIKA
So wait a Chinese media firm is posting documentaries about African freedom fighters while China is persecuting it's own people who dare demand freedom from evil communism, while at the same time enslaving Africa via bad debts and neo colonialism? What kind of irony is this?
These documentaries are meant to hoodwink Africans that China is one of us...but be not fooled sons and daughters of the soil...it is a facade....China ain't our friend...the dragon is the devil.
A very deep sigh I gave listening and watching this documentary.
Oil companies, governments of Nigeria & the people raped ogoniland & the effect is still there today.
But today the struggle dies because people you fight for have joined the corrupt government and they are afraid of death
My dad was his personal friend and I believe I may have met him personally as a kid.. his book on Ogoniland was one of the first real books I read as a kid...
He was killed by shell oil company a joint Dutch and British colonial vampire
Abacha took responsibility for his killing and not Shell
Which one am I going to believe now
@@kolawolebabatunde8712 Whichever one that makes you more comfortable
Take some responsibility brother. It isnt the British that's stealing the wealth of Africa at moment but hedonistic and kleptocratic indigenes we call leaders.
No, he was killed by The Wicked Abacha
Am Francisca Kerubo Veronica Alexander Nyangiti a Kenyan living in Kigali Rwanda, from Today 29-06-2020, am starting to PRAY for the Beatification of Ken Saro wiwa Who was Murdered Because of There Own, Shell Company must ask the People of Ogoni For Forgiveness and the Dictators of The Nigerian government, Whom with Abacha?
"Think CEMENT Think Dangote" is Ma Slogan or Swag! Long live Alhaji Aliko Dangote,God bless you and your family members and also your Business's?
May his soul rest in peace.
sorry for our nation
JAH be with you Ogoni People
He stays a true African hero. Amazing what time has done to our African leaders. Mugabe is there too, criticizing such actions only himself to betray the African revolution to his own ego. May we all win over the African struggle
I'm most interested in the part of unknown assailants that killed the Ogoni leaders. That's the false flag that was used to kill him.
'Africa Kills His Sun"
Shell paid Ogoniland $15 million? That's peanuts compared to what they've extracted & the environmental degradation they caused. That's not justice, it's cruel & unusual punishment. They wouldn't dare do such in the western world. BP paid billions & continue to pay to this day for the oil spill in the Gulf Coast in the U.S.
It PAINS Nailed on the CROSS, Yeshua , John 10:10;3:16;&6:37?
The story of Ken Sarowiwa is really an emotional one. Then it was Abacha, and now we have Buhari all with same agenda that Fulanis must domination and own our resources and annihilation of any one who opposes that. Sarowiwa was unjustly killed through judicial process and Nnamdi Kanu was to be unjustly killed through unjust military python dance. All by the same people. Why can't all come together and fight this battle of liberation to a just end. It is not late. Let us all support IPOB movement as Nnamdi has guaranteed the autonomy of all groups.
It is really painful to see how we have been loosing our brave people like Sarowiwa and the young youths in the python dance. May they RIP and continue to interceed for the success of the liberation struggle.
The great Hero of Africa we will member your good did
Please, l need an update 9 yrs is a long time.
His 2 sons are now late . Ken Jnr and Gian . I don't know if this is an update
@nancyokosi1 thank you
I can't believe Igbos are mentioned as one of those marginalizing Ogoni people!!!!
Igbos that escaped extinction by genocide via pogroms and civil war?
When was the last time we shared a state with Ogoni people?
When was the last time,Igbos ran affairs in Nigeria?
From the oil boom of 1970s till now,what has Igbos got to do with this? Really?
Please we need more history!
Why did thy stop teaching history in school .... Can you ask your self
The struggle continues
Red salute to Ken saro viva
Can someone tell me the title of the song sang by the ladies at the end? it is beautiful and utterly meaningful..
asih simanis The Ogoni anthem!
Africa must unite🎶🎵
WHat is the song at the start sung by the woman 0:54
I hope that you will now count out the Ibos amoung the 3 major groups that are causing the trouble in the area. They are also victims of the marginalization and so want to liberate themselves. IPOB is alive now to correct the wrong of many years. How I wish the Ogonis will join the struggle for liberation. No one should sit on defence in this struggle for together we will win.
RIP to Ken Saro-Wiwa and his son Ken Wiwa who died in 2016, at an earlier age than his father
What caused saro wiwas son's death please tell I'm from Kenya?
@@tomadoyo8271 He died from a stroke in 2016 at the age of 47
History Nigeria schools will never teach
JESUS Shower, Ken's, Ogoni Residents with your Heavenly Blessings 🙏. Let them not ever sleep hungry, they were Persecuted enough.
The Igbo has never marginalized the Ogoni people. I believe it is part of seasoned journalism to get your facts right.
Don't mind Igbos!!! Very Tribalistic! They don't listen, we're aren't trying to work with you.
Igbos have never marginalized any minority groups in Nigeria. Worst part is that, these Ogonis still hate Igbos as though we did them any wrong. We've always been on their side but they hate us for nothing while cozying up to the very people who despoil their land.
His house is an Igboman house they take from them abandoned properties of Igbos port Harcourt is not Ogoni city never been they are were of that
@@mathewnwachukwu6651 Back to sender, 7 fold!
History lives!
How I wish The Saro Wiwa family can pay back the Abacha's family
SUPPORT BIAFRA!!
