Sigh, where do I begin? Visiting here is almost becnmiog depressing. First, I can honestly say that Yar'adua's government has proven to be a hundred times more disappointing than Obasanjo's (there's something I never thought I'd say). So far all I know the man for is setting up probes and committees, and committees to probe and more committees to probe the previous committees. It's stupid and pointless. All they seem to be doing is marking time.As for this oil thing. I've only been to the Niger Delta region once in the past 15 years, but I what I saw wasn't encouraging. Our place in Delta state was some hundreds of kilometres from a recently discovered oil well. The weather was absurdly hot and a gas flare kept my room illuminated all night. Despite this inconvenience the only thing I'm aware of the oil company doing was bulding a borehole or something. The people there still lived in abject squallor, many of the roads were a mess, and electricity was rare. To reduce the amount of money/support these oil companies have to give, they give out smaller lump sums to greedy village leaders and claim they've done their share.It's all so absurd. Don't even get me started on MEND. I never approved of their tactics, but you know what they say about desperate measures. What I don't know is why the government just won't MAKE the oil companies do their share for the environment they're pillaging. Only God knows how much Nigeria has sold its soul to these foreigners for monetary gain that doesn't trickle down to the masses.I get the impression they've come to some hidden prior agreement that prevents them from truly acting out against these oil companies, so they have no choice but to focus on the militants completely.The whole thing is... just a mess.
