We Remember The Ogoni Nine Who Were Hanged

On November 10, 1995.

Remember. Remember. Remember.
That darkest day on the 10th of November.
Ten years ago when...
BARIBOR BERA was hanged.
SATURDAY DOBEE was hanged.
NORDU EAWO was hanged
DANIEL GBOKOO was hanged
BARINEM KIOBEL was hanged
JOHN KPUINEN was hanged
PAUL LEVURA was hanged
FELIX NUATE was hanged
KEN SARO-WIWA was hanged.

Ten years today
And we are still mourning.
Because we are still suffering.
For we cannot dine and wine
When Ogoni continues to pine and whine
Because, Ogoni is still not feeling fine.
So, we are still mourning the Ogoni nine.
No epitaph would do
No cenotaph would do.
Until justice is done
The battle has not been won.
