Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
It’s been more than a decade since acclaimed writer Ken Saro Wiwa and eight activists were tortured and executed by the military government of Nigeria. But a controversial lawsuit against an international oil company — accused of aiding that country’s pariah government — only wrapped up last month in New York City. We examine the case of Wiwa vs. Royal Dutch Petroleum, and why a growing number of international corporations find themselves facing legal action within the U.S. for alleged misdeeds overseas.
