]]> Comment on The Living Memorial by David Alber http://remembersarowiwa.com/background-2/comment-page-1/#comment-79 David Alber Wed, 01 Dec 2010 21:39:16 +0000 http://remembersarowiwa.com/?page_id=314#comment-79 Hello, I'm hoping you might have a photo of Ken or the Ogoni that can be re-printed in an upcoming book. My name is David Alber. I am the author of the forthcoming book, The Heart of Myth: Wisdom Stories From Endangered People (Brighter Books, 2011.) With specific stories from over thirty endangered communities and a list of over one hundred resources to aid these cultures in peril, The Heart of Myth promises to be a positive force affecting the lives of endangered peoples. More about the book can be found at www.heartofmyth.com. I'm hoping you might have a photo of Ken or the Ogoni that can be re-printed in an upcoming book. Since Brighter Books is a small press (and I am not making much off the book), I don’t imagine that there will be any payment for the photo. However, your work’s inclusion in the book would support indigenous rights and also add nicely to your resume. Phil Cousineau, Sam Keen, Wes `Scoop' Nisker, and Malidoma Somé have already positively endorsed the book. And since Brighter Books wanted to make the book a visual experience, photos and maps will add significantly to the quality of the book. If you would be interested in contributing a photo (or photos), please email the release of publication rights to climbing30@yahoo.com. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to seeing your beautiful photography in print next year. Best wishes, Dave Hello,

The truth is always written in codes and history has it buried in books. UNEP in collaboration with KILLER $HELL has something to tell the Ogonis, but until then, the spirit of Ogoniland and my late brother Ken Saro Wiwa shall continue to fight back. Let's not be tired out in the fight! It should actually be called KILLER SHELL.

I personally think this movie should be shown in the cinemas...let our fellow Nigerians see this and understand the horrible power plays in this country. 'Everyone is dealing in Oil bunkering' even the so-called legit ones are all in the business of bunkering and the government receive fat bonuses and the masses suffer. No schools,No Clinics, No social amenity of any kind to the people in that region Yet so richly blessed. The Oil companies will continue to lie to the public about how much and what they give back to these communities after polluting their air,water and spill the oil on their crops. just saw the movie….was seriously moved by it i must say….shows the highest level of deceit by the Nigerian Govt and how well they misinform the public…also how innocent lives are wasted for nothing…even lives of its own citizens.
