Capitalism and the Nigerian Oil Trade
The U.S. consumer buys a lot of oil from Nigeria. How much? Over 500,000 barrels per day. Nigeria is the 6th largest supplier of oil to the U.S.
When U.S. oil exploration companies found oil in Nigeria, in order to get the approval from the Nigerian government to drill, U.S. oil companies lied to the Nigerian government telling them that the money flowing into the country was going to be good for the Nigerian people.
This was a lie told to the Nigerian people so that oil companies in the U.S. could profit. What most U.S. consumers dont know is that their consumption of oil is killing Nigeria.
The oil trade has been killing Nigerians for years now. In the meantime, the oil companies have no remorse, in fact, they are buying the votes in Congress to delay or slow solar power development and our independence from oil once and for all.
The video below shows how the oil trade has benefited oil companies and politicians in the U.S. and Nigeria while killing ordinary Nigerians.
A kind of civil war is going on for who should control the oil.
The Nigerian government is demolishing average Nigerian homes and churches to make room for luxury housing for rich oil executives and their American workers.
A pastor is powerless as his church is demolished because of the oil trade. He says, "The oil boom has become the oil doom."
A woman who has just had her home demolished, in the name of oil, clutches her young children and begs, "I need help. I need help."
The Limbaugh Republicans who believe that all business is benevolent and all governments bad need to go back to school and learn about the Nigerian oil trade.
How many people in Nigeria have been killed in the name of oil? This is what happens in a post Republican control era where 8 years of Republicanism and small government have led to a devaluing of human life. It is much like the debate in America on Health Care where Health Insurance companies have denied coverage and charged extortion like monopoly fees forcing some 50 million Americans to be without insurance. These bible thumping Republicans have lost their way. The bible says that money and the pursuit thereof is the root of ALL evil. Yet somehow, this part of the bible is ignored by these Republican zealots.
Welcome to Corporate America after 8 years of Republicanism. Quanta, in their debut album, said it best: This is America Corporate America The place where only the rich count This is America Yeah America Why do they get to be paramount?
