Unfortunately, the Marshall Plan was implemented not as a gesture of humanitarian concern but the US was afraid that Communism would rise to power from war's wreckage. The US gov. wanted corporate capitalism to have a fertile breeding ground, so they rebuilt Japan. With communism no longer a "threat" they don't see a reason for a Marshall Plan in Nigeria, or any other place ...
... The only solution I see is a rising public social awareness of how our $ is spent so the corporations then politicians will appropriately respond. Politicians mostly listen to the money flow. So more people need to get the word out so people see the consequences of their spending and investing. ... Your video is important, not just for the Niger Delta, but for the whole Earth. Multinational corporations are like a monster we created but now out of control.
I work in the oil patch and we have to clean even a small stain up... This is environmental racism...They got to clean this up. It will only benefit everyone.
We don't want the Americans to do in the Niger Delta, what they have done in Iraq. Surely not, but they can learn from the Iraqian situation and do the right thing in the Niger Delta now. The Niger delta crisis is about equity and social justice. The American, British, Chiness and Nigerian governments can find a negociated solution through the United Nations. Yes, The Americans can put out the fire in the Niger.
Wait.. why "Tell the Americans to come put out the fire"? Is that really what you want? Who made the Americans the world police? Look at what we are doing in Iraq and what we have done in other countries. Is that what you want us to do there? Please stand up for yourself, no one can do it for you.
