Thursday 24 May RNW - NEWS, ANALYSIS AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
Ayo Ojebode 2 March 2011 - 5:43am / Nigeria

Just to add that the ruling party in Nigeria just threw a lavish party to welcome from jail one of their founders who had been jailed for stealing over 100 million naira belonging to the Nigerian Ports Authority. Corruption is everywhere, yes. But Mr Nweke, is this brazen display of solidarity with the corrupt found everywhere also? About three decades ago, my community rejected their king because he was jailed for some misdemeanor. They could not bear to be ruled by a convict. In addition, they banished his children from being kings forever. But that was the Nigeria of those days. I insist that the Dutch Government conduct a survey among those living the horrors of environmental degradation where Shell claims to doing so much CSR. I conclude that Shell (and others) are able to get away with so much evil because Nigerian leadership is corrrupt and anti-people.
