Esther Kiobel       N igeria’s Esther Kiobel will take one of the world’s biggest oil companies Shell to court, in a final fight for justice over her husband’s killing. She’s pursued Shell for 22 years, to hold them accountable for colluding in her husband’s 1995 execution. Shell has done everything it can to keep her complaints out of the public eye. But Esther won’t let them make her feel small. Neither should we.      Shell’s quest for oil has devastated the once fertile land in the Niger Delta. Communities have been left destitute from decades of pollution. Oil spills have ravaged farmland and rivers, contaminating their water and putting their health at grave risk.      In the 1990s, Shell seemingly would stop at nothing to make sure they were turning a profit. The company urged Nigeria’s military government to deal with environmental protests – knowing full well what that could mean. The military killed and tortured people...

F rom the google.com, myth is a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events. It goes further to describe it as a widely held but false belief or idea! Wikipedia.com put it as any traditional story consisting of events that are ostensibly historical, explaining the origins of a cultural practice or natural phenomenon. The word “myth” is derived from the Greek word ‘MYTHOS’ and it simply means “story”. Myth can be deine as ‘sacred story’, or ‘tale of the gods’. It is sacred narrative because it holds religious or spiritual significance for those who tell it. Professor A.A. Anderson, contrasts the two words, “mythos” and “logos” with ergon, a Greek term for action, deed and work. My own perspective put as the stories that concerned “gods” and “heroes” that only resulting in questioning rather than providing answers! By these assertions comes MYS...

At the end of April I competed against Anthony Joshua , and thereby took on the greatest of all challenges: In front of 90,000 spectators in a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London – as well as a TV audience of millions in more than 150 countries – I fought the fight of my life against the 28-year-old Englishman. I competed to conquer the best of the best. Sadly, I failed to achieve my goal. The outcome was that my opponent won the fight. But despite this, and however absurd it may sound, I also left the ring victorious. In the run-up, I was 100 percent certain that I would win the duel. I had prepared as well as I could and felt I was in the best form of my life; winning back the title of World Champion was my obsession. I gave it everything during the fight. I managed to get up several times after being knocked down. I was even able to send my opponent to the canvas. But, in the end, it was Anthony Joshua who struck the decisive blow and left the ring victorious. I failed to ...

Imposition to exploitation, and from exploitation to eradication of cultural values, traditions, norms, etc. Colonialism is nothing but imposition crafted in the name of enlightens the Africans of their cannibalistic ways of life! Following military conquest, the British imposed an economic system designed to profit from African labour. The essential basis of this system was a money economy—specifically the British pound sterling—which could be demanded through taxation, paid to cooperative natives, and levied as a fine. (Wikipedia) The amalgamation of different ethnic and religious groups into one federation (without taking their opinion into consideration) created internal tension which persists in Nigeria to the present day. My question is; is this the way United States of America was created? Another thing is the European slave trading from West Africa began before 1650 , with people taken at a rate of about 3,000 per year. This rate rose to 20,000 per year in the last...
