Is The Nigerian Government Scared Of Multinational Oil Companies? by Orikinla(m): 11:28pm On Aug 11, 2011
Every administration of the Nigerian government has failed to prosecute the multinational oil companies destroying the communities of oil producing states in the Niger Delta.

The Nigerian Navy has failed to stop oil thieves from overseas who have been engaged in illegal bunkering and stealing hundreds of thousands of barrels of our crude oil. And multinational oil companies have not been paying all the required taxes. Chevron Nigeria Limited has been indicted for tax evasion and the mainstream news media compromised the ethics of the press by not publishing the scandalous impunity of Chevron and other multinational oil companies in Nigeria. Even when I wanted to pay for an advert on their crimes, the mainstream newspapers asked me not to identify them, because they did not want to lose the patronage of Chevron and other multinational oil companies.

We have become the accomplices of the foreign powers plundering the Niger Delta?
Once they settle us, we will not report their evils.

The Nigerian government has failed to support the Ogoni people in their quest to make Shell pay for the collateral damages done to their environment. What we have is a government of political hypocrisy in the masquerade of democracy.

Which evidence do you need again when Amnesty International has published many reports ithat ndicted Shell, Chevron and other multinational oil companies for the ecological disaster in the Niger Delta? Last month at the Silverbird Cinemas, we showed the evidence in Iara Lee's documentary "Cultures of Resistance" and more facts have been published by ERA and National Geographic which the Nigerian government failed to use to prosecute these multinational oil companies.
