Sorrows of Wiwa is a poetic protestation of the indigenous Ogoni people, South-East of the Niger Delta, Nigeria. It relays albeit in the poetic form, the mass responses, dreams, aspirations and expectations of Ogoni, in her model of non-resistant struggle against decades of oil exploitation, human rights abuses, environmental degradation, genocide and underdevelopment.The Ogoni country has been completely destroyed by the search for oil... Oil blowouts, spillages, oil slicks, and general pollution accompany the search for oil... Oil companies have flared gas in Nigeria for the past thirty years causing acid rain... what used to be the bread basket of the delta has now become totally infertile. All one sees and feels around is death. Environmental degradation has been a lethal weapon in the war against the indigenous Ogoni people
