Oil War - Nigeria

June 2005Nigeria's lucrative oil reserves may have enriched its politicians but they've brought little but misery to ordinary people. Now, a rebel group is fighting for a share of the profits. "I need help. I need help," begs a woman, clutching her young children in despair. Her home has just been demolished to create luxury housing for foreign oil workers. "The oil boom has turned into the oil doom!" laments Pastor Lekia. Across the Niger Delta, there's growing resentment at the oil industry. "Corruption pervades the whole place, starting with the way contracts are awarded," complains lawyer Ledum Mittee. "There seems to be some sort of collusion between the oil companies and those in power." But militia leader Asari Dokubo has vowed to sever that link. He's fighting to seize control of the oil and give it back to the people. "We own the oil!" he proclaims. "The thieves are the people in Abuja." And across Nigeria, young men are flocking to his call. Last September, he spooked the international markets and forced the price of oil to $50 a barrel by threatening to attack foreign oil companies. The government was forced to agree a truce but he's threatened to rearm unless oil companies leave. Nigerians no longer expect help from their own government. It's militia leaders like Asari who are winning their trust.

I just wrote a reply and am seeing your message, as it says, excuse me for that and you are right, who cares what i know. I dont aim to impose what i think to anyone and more importantly, i don't argue with anyone unless its absolutely necessary ... so this guy, leave me alone ...lol "Standardfrank" ... fade, cut, gerrrout. I havent even put up an argument and as i noticed before, and wrote, you just want to "argue" and you think im the one for it but im not my friend. I dont have the time. Sry

(Please cut out the "shut up" part. It was an unnecessary knee jerk reaction...excuse me).
Standardfrank (July 7, 2008 at 6:02 pm)
Ify - Stop your yawning and fawning! It's bad manners. Your arguments are weak and you're resorting to self-justification without the facts. Who cares what you know or don't!Besides, if you could make comments without 'forcing' shut up commands I would have taken your stand more seriously, Ifeanyi!
Ify33 (July 7, 2008 at 5:46 pm)
For goodness sake shut up!!! How do you know that i dont already know this. At least look at my profile (do some "research") and find out what i know before wasting energy & typing nonsense. I even told you that i am Spiritual not Religious and you're still on the subject. Yanning! Constantine the Great? .wow..no shit! I knew that BEFORE i woke up to the truth. I think you should continue your research and dont be complacent as to how much you think know. P.S Its Ifeanyi to you.

My experiences have nothing to do with debating with Envangelist's but steeped in irrefutable research. First, the Catholic-Christian 'god' is not original and neither is the notion of 'Jesus Christ'. There have been many JC's that have assumed the mantlepiece of the 'son of god', born by a virgin mother, arising to acension via crucification. Yur 'Jesus' wasn't the first. The Christ you know happens to be the better hyped by your benefactor, Constantine the Great.
