Nigeria's Apparent Complacency About Western Oil Companies' Theft by DanKan0: 5:32pm On Jun 20, 2012 |
[flash=300,300] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wb5IAEV_juM[/flash] Nigeria's "official" oil production figures show about 3 million barrels a day being pumped from their oil fields into the holds of western tankers. Now informed observers have estimated up to one third of all Nigerian oil is actually stolen and secretly loaded onto oil tankers after bribes are paid to corrupt government officials. If 4 million barrels of oil are being shipped out of Nigeria daily at $100 a barrel, times 30 days a month, times 12 months, you arrive at almost $150 billion a year in potential oil revenues for Nigeria. |
