Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9There will be a fundraising table quiz upstairs at the Parnell Mooney, Parnell Street Dublin 1, on November 10th.
Quiz starts at 8.30PM and all money raised goes to the ShelltoSea campaign.
I read in TImes somehting like 31 of the 34 of the landowners pledge support (to what degree I don't know) to the Rossport 5, significant news. Why am I reading this as one sentence in a corporate report, why ain't shelltosea.com doing more then c&ping corporate newspapers?
At the Dublin City Library , Ilac Centre, Dublin: 11.00 am -12.0noon
Please invite friends and supporters to a memorial hour to remember the death of Ken Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni 8 in that hour ten years ago. It takes place in the meeting room of the Library.
Ogoni Solidarity Ireland wishes to offer appreciation to the many people in Ireland who have supported the Ogoni struggle. In turn the Ogoni have come to the help of the Rossport people.
It thanks the several groups who are organising events around this time and it sends information about these directly to Ogoni.
The public library in the Ilac Centre hosted an Ogoni exhibition some years ago and more recently the Africa through the Africa Writers' Series accompanied by a display of African books.
The memorial hour will be literary in content with readings from The Politics of Bones: Dr. Owens Wiwa and the Struggle for Nigeria's Oil published in Canada in September.
The tragic account of the executions and the efforts to exhume and identify the Ogoni Nine over the past ten years will be told -some of it for the first time.
This short event is part of a larger literary memorial in about 100 venues worldwide on that date.
This is what's happening in Dublin on the day (as far as I know):
Ogoni Solidarity Ken Saro Wiwa Memorial Hour,
Dublin City Library , Ilac Centre. 11.00 am -12.00noon
Readings from The Politics of Bones : Dr. Owens Wiwa and the Struggle for Nigeria's Oil. The tragic account of the executions and the efforts to exhume and identify the Ogoni Nine over the past ten years will be told -some of it for the first time.

"Peaceful" vigil outside Shell's Corporate headquarters
Remembering Ken Saro-Wiwa
Ken Wiwa helped launch the Ken Saro Wiwa Foundation in Nigeria on 5 Nov. O5 and has arrived for the London events from where he will speak on the 10 Anniversary of his father's death to the Pat Kenny Show/
It would appear that atrocities were committed by the Nigerian government in this tragic case for all concerned, but why is this relevant to the corrib development?
Is it to suggest that those who oppose Corrib could face a similar fate here in Ireland? Is the anti Shell movement not going just a little over the top with the commemorations etc. they are organising
