We’re Thirsty, Sooo is oil thicker than blood ?

Is it possible that Oil is Thicker than Blood ?

apparently so in Nigeria, where it has destroyed the nation. a brutal civil war is being waged over oil in the Nigerian Delta. it’s gone on so long no one really remembers when it started. The Infamous “Well Number One“ opened in the 1953; so that’s where we mark the beginning. before Nigerias’ Independence.

Mariana from Vanguard Televison gives us a full view from her camera lens into the reality of the civil war that has torn Nigeria apart for more than 50 years.

Port Harcourt is where Mariana begins her journey

This is the most recent update on the situation in Nigerias’ Delta Oil Wars. no bbc or other coorespondants have dared be kidnapped to get the story. but this daring and smart woman puts her mind to getting the story; and she does it.

Just watching this piece on Current.com television made us find it online. We had to make sure that you all get to see, what we are funding eachtime we fuel up our vehicles with petrol.

Ogooni Land - In The Nigerian Delta

Nigerias’ Oil Boom is long over but the bust is about to split Nigeria’s seams

it seems so unbelievable that in a country that is a major player in OPEC, people would be queueing in their vehicles to get petrol – as though there is a shortage. even worse,that they would be poor and dying from the effects of the very oil that is the source of all this money, anger, pain and grief.

Actually there is a shortage of Petrol In Nigeria

you see the raw crude is exported; and the two refineries are not able to process enough petrol to meet the domestic need.

it’s not because there are so many oil consumers in Nigeria – it’s due to antiquated and unusable petrol refineries. yes the refineries are basically falling apart. there has been no plan put in place by the government of Nigeria to do anything with the oil profits except allow them to be pilfered like a petty cash drawer.

The Ogoni People are the main players in the oil problems

You see it was their land that oil was discovered on, and is being pumped from. they have no treaty with any oil company – and they have no agreements with the Nigerian Government for revenue return. Thus a brutal civil was has been raging in the Nigerian delta for almost 25 years.

We Remember the Murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa

Ken Was An Educated Man, He Was An Organizer. He Was A Freedom Fighter. He was hanged By The Military for standing up for his Ogoni Peoples.

Kens’ organization MOSOP was pushed to organize and stand up, against the government and the oil barons. They are still united and standing up for what is theirs. eventually the government and oil barons will have to pay them.

Now the rebels have formed their own posse’ called MEND, which is basicallly a mafia of assorted gangs under one unbrella – attempting to force the government to relinquish power and control over the region to them. they remind me more of the Somali Pirates than freedom fighters. either way they are not working with the Ogoni People or MOSOP.

Unbelievable..

To Us they represent such a “Stupid Wildcard”, so late in the game. they have nothing to contribute except more drama. as you will see in the video.

Please watch the video and leave a comment if you think this story is important. we spend alot of time pointing to important issues in the news, that seem to receive little to no notice.

wonder if we named this post See Serena Williams Ass would you be more interested ? regardless This is what it is, and we are all a part of the reality.

Own Your Part and Speak Your Mind – trust me, people are listening. this blog is closely monitored by several large news services and many human rights organizations.

Does The Oil In Your Car Matter As Much as the Blood In Your Heart ? It does to the Ogoni Peoples, and we should remember them, each time we fill up our tanks with their blood.
