The second Trump Presidency has already dissolved hundreds of DEI programmes and looks set to herald a new golden age of American meritocracy. It's a movement America and the world are hungry for, says Darren Gobin.

The Social Market Foundation has carried out a survey on public attitudes to Net Zero and concluded that the "uninformed" and reluctant public are the problem. Why else would they say no to heat pumps?

''ken sara wiwa'' african monster party

category mayo | environment | event notice author Monday October 24, 2005 22:30author by Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

calling all africans and irish people to party together in rossport

We invite all Africans and Shell to Sea supporters to party with us. The community are hosting a MONSTER PARTY on the 12th of November @2:30pm in honour of Ken Sara Wiwa and his 8 murdered friends in Rossport County Mayo.
Time to remember and celebrate together
Time to remember and celebrate together

The local community in Rossport county Mayo have been in conflict with Shell for the past 5 years over the construction of a high pressure pipeline which resulted in the imprisonment of the five local men during the summer who became known as the ''Rossport 5''. ,

This summer has been a huge strain on the community. The community have been inspired by the Ogoni people in Nigeria who have had their own troubles with Shell. In particular by Ken Sara Wiwa who as leader of the Ogoni people was executed along with 8 other activists 10 years ago on the 10th of November 1995.

The community are hosting a MONSTER PARTY on the 12th of November in honour of Ken Sara Wiwa and his friends. We are planning a unique day on the 12th.

We invite EVERY Nigerian and African in the country to north Mayo for the day along with our supporters nationwide. We intend this event to be the largest multicultural event ever held in west of Ireland.

We have commissioned a mural of Ken and his friends which is being painted by local artists under the guidance of the ''Bogside Artists'' . The mural will be blessed by African ministers and local clergy. The unveiling will be jointly performed by local and African children. African food will be prepared for all in attendance before the music and entertainment begins. The music will be hosted in Healy's Hall in Glenamoy. ,

This is a unusual cultural and musical event to be held during a period of calm. This day is about Ken Sara Wiwa and the human spirit as the human spirit does not have a colour or a nationality and as the Nigerian and Irish governments now know cannot be imprisioned or killed. All are welcome to attend the event and enjoy the day. Ta gach daoine sa tir failte.

Location: Healy's Hall & Bar

Date:- Saturday 12th November 2005

Events

2:30 pm Blessing and unveiling of mural to Ken Sara Wiwa and his 8 murdered friends by African & local clergy

3:30 pm Nigerian and African food for all

4:30 pm African and Irish music with dancing till late

The party is being hosted by Shell to Sea with support from the following:-

Integrate Ireland
Irish Nigerian Association
Residents Against Racism
Various African community and church groups.

who arranged this shindig? whos doing the inviting? i live about 6 miles from Healys hall, and we didnt know anything about this. stop saying the community has done this or are inviting whoever.because as part of this community of ours I havent invited anyone, why not try and get the community together to discuss if we want a load of strangers coming into our area or not !!!!!!

What a load of cobblers. You weren't asked if you wanted a "load of strangers" coming into your community? Are you being for real?

Are the people of Dublin asked if they want the performances/plays/singers etc to perform in any of the multitude of venues available to them? Of course not, but they are happy enough to attend them and to benefit from the revenue brought by the events being held. Are you not pleased that on a Winters Saturday afternoon, there will be fun and frolics in Healys? If you have too much to do to attend a once in a lifetime gig, then just don't go, but I for one am really looking forward to going. Not even your cribbing will dampen it.

Good work all involved.

I was sitting in a coffee house recently(sufis actually). At the table next to me was an swpper and his english "advisor", they were planning the best strategies to "politicise" the people of Rossport.

Strangely, there was no one from Rossport there, just the swpper and the englishman.

Strangers? possibly.

Deceitful, devious and divisive: definately, however those are words which have become synomous with the swp.

Do they really think they are fooling anyone?
