The Rossport Five are James Brendan Philbin, Philip McGrath,
Vincent McGrath, Willie Corduff and Micheál Ó Seighin.
Note the mural of Ken Sara Wiwa on your left as you leave
Rossport along the coast road. He was an author and playwright who
accused the same multi-national company of destroying farmland and
villages in the Ogoni region of the Niger Delta. He was hanged
along with eight other protesters on November 10, 1995 by the
Nigerian Military Government. Mrs Zola and myself were living in
Nigeria at the time of his execution..
The Ogoni Nine were Ken Saro-Wiwa, Saturday Dobee, Nordu Eawo,
Daniel Gbooko, Paul Levera, Felix Nuate, Baribor Bera, Barinem
Kiobel, and John Kpuine..
Enjoy the views. They may not exist for much longer.
