American Oil Killing Nigerians
The U.S. consumer buys a lot of oil from Nigeria. How much? Over 500,000 barrels per day. Nigeria is the 6th largest supplier of oil to the U.S.
Oil companies in the U.S. promised that the flow of money into Nigeria was going to make life a lot better for the people.
U.S. oil companies could careless about the Nigerian people. They did not care about the welfare of the Nigerian people anymore than U.S. Insurance companies care about the welfare of their members. All that the U.S. oil companies wanted to do was to take the oil as quickly as possible. What most U.S. citizens do not know is that their consumption of oil and gas is killing the average Nigerian.
Worse, big oil executives have known what is happening to Nigeria because of the oil trade for years now, but still they continue to use their Washington lobbyists to delay solar power development.
The video below shows how the oil trade has benefited oil companies and politicians in the U.S. and Nigeria while killing ordinary Nigerians.

Average peoples homes are demolished in order to create luxury housing for foreign oil workers and oil executives.
A pastor who has had his church demolished in the name of the oil trade laments, “The oil boom has turned into the oil doom.”
A terrified woman who has had her home destroyed in the name of oil grabs her children and cries, “I need help!”
The Rush Limbaugh Republicans who believe “all business is good, in fact it’s downright heavenly” need to educate themselves on the oil trade.
Business has one purpose and one purpose alone, to maximize profits at any cost. In some regards, the national health care debate in the United States is another example of business going after maximum profits at any cost. How many people have the rich Health Insurance companies in America killed because they denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition? How many young people who work in the fast food and restaurant industry in America are not being provided with health care by these greedy insurance companies? How many hard working families, where both couples work, are being charged $700, $900 and even a $1,000 a month or more for health insurance?
Welcome to Corporate America after 8 years of Republicanism. Quanta, in their debut album, said it best: This is America Corporate America The place where only the rich count This is America Yeah America Why do they get to be paramount?
