Im Malaysian and in the 1960s Malaysia almost fell into the sams trap wih Shell and Exxon. Fortunately Malaysia developed its own petroleum company, Petronas and took over the entire process of extraction, refining and processing of the gas and petroleum resources including domestic and export control, forcing these companies to have to go though Petronas for all the above and below the line of petroleum production. Today, Petronas is a Fortune 500 company that is not influenced by any global company.

One of them even had a conversation with us students. Almost everyone of us were in tears. i was so much dedicated to work for them, cleared the interview, and then the story of Nigeria came across me. Damnnn i was so pissed, i literally made HR interview a nightmare on purpose. They are trying extremely hard to keep their image up supporting various "act of kindness". Damnn F*&% these evils.

When Shell came to my university for the annual job fair, a handful of students held a sit-in with banners in front of the company's stand, adressing Shell's greenwashing and their role in causing climate change. Shell had been made aware of the disasterous effects of climate change yet to come in the 1980's, and chose to not only keep what was said in the report a secret, but to prevent the passing of environmental protection bills and block the development of green energy for decades. So understandably, climate-conscious students were pissed that this company was allowed to advertize itself as eco-friendly while being all but solely responsible for the mess we're in. Their protest was peaceful and didn't bother the other companies present at the job fair (though tbh plenty of them were also deserving of being protested) I kid you not, the university called the police to come drag away their own students exercising their freedom of protest against a company responsible for more death and destruction than any single country in the last 20 years. Apparently, making sure corporate sponsors can spread lies without opposition is more important to the university than their students' safety

Colonialism has never ended. Here in Brazil, back in 2019, we had a Shell spill that poisoned almost half of our coastline. Also in 2019 Vale, a company that once belonged to the state, and now is owned by external holding companies, caused one of the greatest human caused environmental disasters of history, poisoning many rivers in the state I live. Still to this day no reparation has been paid, while more than 80.000 people have developed cancer afterwards. Our two most important forest (and when I say our, I mean as humanity, not only brazilian), the Pantanal and Amazon have been in such an intense deforestation (backed by US and european banks) that the smoke caused by it - I live almost 4.000 kilometers away from the Amazon - had me with lung problems and in bed for week without being able to breathe properly. It's estimated that the equivalent of 4 Great Britains have been deforested only in Pantanal.

Finally, someone talks about the corruption in Nigeria, police are useless, ruthless and cruel and the middle class barely exists. Nigeria threw away its agriculture away the moment they found oil and if hurt its economy greatly. Anambra (a Nigerian state) tried to have multiple businesses but it fell the moment the governor left, putting the state back into poverty. I'm so glad someone is talking about Nigeria's corruption. Shame it's not getting better though and just a portion of Nigeria's problems

@@Thor-Orion Nigeria has a lot of problems other than just the oil like tribal tensions between the major tribes and leftover marks from the civil war like Biafra as well as the North's bribery and control over Nigeria simply because they are of the same tribe and religion as the President Buhari. Heck Nigeria has even had a proper census because people will fraudulently count farm animals like chicken as people. Nigeria hasn't really progressed with contemporary issues and is still heavily conservative. Bribes are commonplace outside the military such as schools, police and even in churches. The government is just a group of the president's friends and they spend money fraudulently and extravagantly while several people still live in villages which their parents or grandparents built. Revolution is difficult without the military but even that is a stretch as said in the video. There a several problems still.

Dutch people as a whole are pretty awfull at combining resource extraction and livelyhoods. Here in the Netherlands the NAM (a gas extraction company) drilled for schale gas between 2013 and 2018(?) and the report said that "the wellbeing of surrounding inhabitants should not be considered". Eventually, hospital floors and ceilings in Groningen (UMCG and Martiniziekenhuis Groningen) started to show cracks and now they mostly stopped drilling. Obviously, in Nigeria it is much, MUCH worse.

The many live in poverty and a lot of people become criminals just to survive. Seamen do not dare go out of the ship, especially without escort, or are almost certain to be robbed, abducted, or worse, and this may even happen while a vessel is underway many miles away from Nigerian coasts if pirates assault the ship. Their government is well aware of everything you read and yet it turns a blind eye.

As a Venezuelan myself, I have seen the both sides of the coin since Venezuela used to have a privatized oil industry until it became nationalized. The indisputable and main issue is always corruption in government, moreso the issue than the oil companies. It's the same blessing and curse on virtually all countries (in development) with extreme natural resources, too much money and too much misery even if it sounds counterintuitive. It breeds corruption, the bane of Africa and South America. Companies are just the vultures that come to pick off the bones.

This corruption didn't appear out of thin air. Before Venezuela and Nigeria were independent, these colonies were still 'extraction economies' for foreign powers and the locals who collaborated. Even though they became independent from colonial overlords, their infrastructure were designed around extracting. The only educated people were elites who collaborated in robbing the country, militaries were designed for suppressing crowds, basic transit was only designed for moving resources out, etc. It's too easy for a multinational like Shell to to take over such an environment As an example, Nigeria specifically was going to be multiple nations post-independence. The British got involved and ensured it was a federation, so it could be dominated by the North who had collaborated during colonialism. This actually helped in suppressing the southern Biafra region when it tried to secede.

While in Warri last year I asked why they didn't collect rain water for drinking to be told that it was too poisonous. In the south (Delta and Rivers states) you can always see fires from oil. I was told that every time the military finds an illegal refining operation the burn it all. As I understand it Shell are no longer looking to expand any of their on-shore operations and are only looking at the offshore side now.

one of the worst mistakes to rule a nation, is to depend for one thing. I’m actually really sad that Nigeria got manipulated by a company from their colonizers… Lebanon went though a big downfall in the civil war, not just because of religion, but also because the government disapproved of agriculture and the forests of Lebanon were burnt for money. this is because of the government thinking that tourism would be the only thing they need to take off since Lebanon was an amazing country for tourists in the 60s, but of course they were ignorant. I just get so pissed when governments get very corrupt and presidents get killed in favor to make a nation worse. i hope Nigeria realizes their country is being ruined because of the ignorance. I love nigeria so much. 🇱🇧❤️🇳🇬

I had to do a presentation about this in high school. I never knew something like this can happen. This made me dig more into the corruption topic around the world and I found that the amount of countries where something similar to this happens is shocking. The east European countries are also affected by this phenomenon. And Nigeria isn’t the only country in Africa. This made me think about politics from a different perspective. Absolutely insane. I guess in some big companies there are no morals. Or maybe people working there have such atomized jobs that they don’t realize what they are doing.

The by product of capitalism societies is that big companies Captures the elite politicians and their governments . In South Africa there's an ongoing turmoil currently going on whereby it's claimed that the Ex president captured the State with the Gupta brothers from India but when you look deeper you realize that the people who are fighting the ex president through media , judiciary and other means are actually the ones who's been capturing the State ever since the beginning of time .

@Karl with a K I don't think you know enough about Nigeria to make that assertion. It is false to claim that nothing is being done about it. West African countries like Nigeria and Ghana are gaining favour with some of the largest tech companies such as Microsoft, and Amazon and Twitter who are opening offices their for Software and Ai research and development, and employing the people of those countries to fill these roles. Tech is one of the largest drivers of one of the worlds most successful economies; USA. Technology offers new solutions and it's not too late for things to change trajectory in Africa. If tech giants thought these were failed states, they won't be investing in these countries and employing their engineers.
