As of today, the country of Nigeria Delta is face a horrible oil spill crisis. This oil spill has been going on for over 50 year. Whoand what being by this crisis? The people of Nigeria and the wild life are the ones that are being affect by this crisis.The people that are responsbile for the crisis is the oil company, and goverment. The Nigeria citizen are the ones that have too deal with issue on daily basics. The ones that are benefit from this Oil Spill Crisis, is the oil company such as Shell and Exxon,Nigeria Goverment,and the United States.Is it kind of stranger that the goverment of nigeria is benefit from this crisis but not the countries itself? In the video the reporter said that the goverment is receive sixty percent of the the product while the oil companys are receive fourth percent. Also in the weather world post article states that as end of January 2011 the Shell is being sue for by the Nigeria Courts saying claiming the Shell oil company has polltion caused by sabotage.The one issue that I cannnot seem to understand is how that the Vice President had issue the countries Mexico twenty million for this fishing and farming crisis but the country of Nigeria does not receive anything . I believe that some type of form of environmental racism. The people of Nigeria has nothing basic on daily they have to drinking unsantized water unpleasure food and live in broke down houses . As it mention in the Figueroa reading African Americans, Latino Americans, Native Americans,and Asian Americans are the ones that are dealing with environmental harms . Why is that all minority have to face this issues .In the Environemntal Justice and Social Ecology reading the authur Summer believe that throw waste in low wages countries is okay." Environmental justice movements usually advance issues and principles of distrubutive fairness"( Figueria)
In last the Nigeria start as wars by kidnaped the executive and killing them because they could take anymore . If only someone that Environment Justice this would have happen.
