This is a ridiculous amount 1000 % more than the loss the communities had gone through. If they collect that small amount they are bastard thought that was in pounds oh. Is that the same amount they paid America during their oil lick

UnknownT:
Just #30m after 32years, e suppose appreciate joor, btw can 4 divide #30 equally ? Make d money no cause fracas among the 4 communities oh

the money is supposed to have appreciated.
but as for sharing equally, i guess u didnt read the part that stated how much each community is supposed to get.

Aitee1:
Kelvyn7 come and check if your community is inclusive make I know how to plan my robbery...girls ain't smiling either

Hahahahaha

U get mind?

This is one of the reason why some nairalander who know nothing about ND (the suffering ) cause by shell,chevron and the others in the area should shut up when we complan. We all know how much BP paid to for the disaster in golf of Mexico last few years.

I was even angry that 30 millions is too small for each community but not knowing that is for 4 community. This is just too small. By the time lawyer collect his percentage, the greedy chief of the community, the rest will be story for the gods.

This is simply called medicine after death... 32 f*cking years...damn

izzieman:
I hope the communities are able to get those amounts adjusted to factor in differences in Naira value at the time the judgement was rendered and today.

Exactly my sentiments.

sauceny:
N30m for 4 communities...I mean,what are they going to do with that little amount

me self tire o.

After all, Justice delayed is not justice denied....

30 Million in 1997 is 3 BILLION NOW!

The inflationary value must be computed.

I know that things will change soo, everyone will have to do the needful including corporations like shell and by then we wint be denied our rights, and we would not have to go to court before we get what belongs to us, not even for one day, nor for 32 crazy years of the people of delta state.

30million after 32years and una call that justice?

And wat about d interest after 32years court?

N30 million not $30 million?? Na crayfish the 4 communities dey buy?? Oil producing communities should pull their heads out of their arses especially their council chairmen?? N30 million from Shell?? Seriously??

Money wey only one person go still chop.

Our legal system is messed up.

A PITTANCE compared to the damage to the environment and people's lives over a period of 32 years. Maybe, this amount would have sufficed 32 years ago, not today. Additional costs should be imposed on them for the restoration of the environment and livelihood of the communities.

Whereas the BP will have to pay $40 billion for oil spill that happened in the US in 2010. Nigeria/Nigerians always settling for mediocrity

I know for sure, the money will be shared amongst the elders. Na then you go hear say na their forefathers fight for am
