On behalf of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People, MOSOP, I thank God for your lift. God remains the greatest judge. God puts down one, and lifts up another.

The Ogoni people are staying strong, and we will continue to count on your support.

The history of Christianity reminds us that Christianity was officially persecuted for three centuries. The same history tells us that Roman Christianity is the mother of Western civilization.

The Ogoni people are full of hopes and dreams that the day is coming when the Ogoni story will become the story of Christianity and Western civilization.
