商品簡介
The Politics of Greed The execution of nine members of the Ogoni ethnic minority, including the prominent environmentalist Ken Saro-Wiwa, captured the attention of people all over the world. The peaceful demonstrations led by the Ogoni people also played a role.
Many concerns and criticisms have been voiced in response to the activities of large oil corporations such as Mobil, Chevron, Shell, Elf, and Agip, amongst others. Western governments and oil corporations, eager to profit from the fossil fuels that can be exploited in Nigeria, have supported and maintained a series of oppressive and corrupt governments in the country. These governments have been in power in Nigeria. In the region of the delta, people and multinational oil corporations have been fighting over this dark nectar, which has resulted in massive levels of poverty as well as the destruction of the local environment. The Ogoni, Ijaw, and other people in the Niger Delta who have been adversely affected for several decades have been attempting to advocate for themselves, their environment, and their fundamental economic and human rights for several years. These people have been the most severely impacted. In response, the government of Nigeria and oil companies have violently repressed protesters in the country.
Shell, for instance, has even been criticized for attempting to divide communities by paying some members of those communities to disrupt non-violent protests. This practice has been called "community division."
Human Rights Watch asserts that multinational oil companies are complicit in human rights abuses that have been committed by the Nigerian military and police. This is a clear documentation of the blood bath in Nigeria in the cause of oil tussle, its excruciating consequences, agitations, capture and murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa.
