# The Republic

A podcast by The Republic. The Republic is a narrative podcast series exploring pivotal Nigerian and broader African historical events and figures. In the second season, host Wale Lawal traces the life and legacy of writer and activist, Ken Saro-Wiwa. For much of the 90s, Saro-Wiwa led a non-violent movement against oil pollution in the Niger Delta’s Ogoniland. The Nigerian government, however, responded by arresting and later executing Saro-Wiwa and 8 other activists. How did this incident reshape Nigeria’s trajectory?
