NIGER DELTA

I’m currently in the Niger Delta and I have almost 2000 of these bumper stickers to give away for free out here. The 30th anniversary of the execution of the Ogoni Nine is on the 10th November and I’m currently working with local activists and filming a longer documentary about the almost incomprehensible destruction, murder and torture that Shell has brought to this region.

I have kept a few stickers back in my shop to help pay for the free ones. I am also running a last-minute crowdfunder here to raise funds for anti-Shell billboard, placard, and t-shirt printing while I’m here.

After my first visit to the Niger Delta in 2023, Ogoni climate activists asked me to create a Niger Delta Hell Bus to support their activities and provide a backdrop for their protests against the fossil fuel industry.

I made the bus later that year and donated it to Ogoni environmental activists. It has been running ever since, although it is showing signs of wear-and tear.

The next major protest is on the 10th November 2025, a peaceful march to the Shell HQ in Port Harcourt to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the execution of the Ogoni Nine. This march and vigil happens every year, mobilising tens of thousands of Ogoni people.

​I’ve come back to document the anniversary and film a new documentary about Shell’s crimes in the region and their attempts to avoid responsibility for almost 70 years of rampant destruction, oppression, and murder.
