Message from Ogoni Activist Ben Ikari

Screen Shot 2013-10-15 at 01.43.07RELATED COMMENT BY JOHN DONOVAN: “I publish very few articles/press releases from Ogoni sources because you never know who is a legitimate representative of the Ogoni people and not a faction led by an ego driven individual, with a self-invented impressive title.”

By John Donovan

I have today published a message to the Ogoni people from long time Ogoni activist Ben Ikari under his headline:

“The Need For Ogoni Independence From Nigeria”

From the content of his past articles, its fair to say that Ben is not a fan of Shell.

Screen Shot 2013-05-03 at 14.17.32As can be confirmed from the video recording, Shell was a prime target of the comment by Ed Vulliamy about journalism being infected by corporate public relations. This was in relation to the allegations made by former Shell “Mr Fixit” company, OSSL, that Shell had corrupted the Irish Police Force by giving away free alcohol as bribes.

Article by Lorna Siggins published on 18 March 2014 by The Irish Times

Journalism has been “infected” by “corporate public relations” and the media is part of a “seamless troika” involving governments and corporations, according to the British war correspondent Ed Vulliamy.

The Guardian and Observer journalist, who has won awards for his reporting from Bosnia, the 9/11 attacks, Iraq and Mexico, said that resources had been curtailed to the extent that journalists had “shrunk in number” while those working in public relations had grown. Mr Vulliamy was addressing a discussion hosted by justice and peace group Afri in Carrowteigue, north Mayo, on the media and the Corrib gas project. read more
