Riz Khan - Nigeria's Oil - 22 July 08 Part 1

Awash in oil, yet its people, for the most part, are destitute. Nigeria discovered "liquid gold" half a century ago and today is the world's eighth largest oil exporter. But the country is plagued by corruption, inefficiency, underdevelopment and an uprising in its Niger Delta -- the area where most of its oil reserves are located. So why, some 600 billion dollars later, are Nigeria's people still among the poorest in the world? Is it the 'resource curse' or something more?

The only solution to Nigeria problem is for the country to be divided. Give me back my Bendel State and the rest will be history. As an African, I hate fellow Black people because they are purposely very stupid & lack the capacity to see beyond now.

My people oil is bigger than one country government. The multi-national companies like SHELL OIL need to end and a company they are using blood money to fund western countries. The blood money profit they make in billions or pounds, euros, and dollas stay in the western world. WE hate Shell as a company, shell is own by the European governments. Human right, land mass dead.
