🔵March of memory🔵 A coalition of civil society groups in Nigeria says oil cannot restart in Ogoniland until demands on justice, cleanup and local shares are met. 🌐 The groups, speaking at a solidarity peace walk in Nigeria's Port Harcourt in late February, demanded that issues like environmental degradation, human rights abuses and others be addressed first to heal the wounds of the Ogoni people as core conditions. 🔸 The protesters organised under “Project Ogonize” — led by Tech4Rural, a Nigerian social start‑up using tech for environmental advocacy — demand environmental remediation and want host communities to get stakeholder ownership in operations. 🔸 The CSOs also recall the 1990 presentation of the Ogoni Bill of Rights, the 1995 execution ofthe Ogoni nine and the 2011 United Nations Environmental Program report on the oil pollution in the area— insisting the Federal Government and companies like Shell address past harms first. #News ✈️ Stay informed - @devilsbelow
