"Nigeria is the 12th largest producer of crude in the world and the eighth largest exporter," says one source. Nigeria is also among one of the most neglected developing nations. It is one of the most poor regions in the world though the most fossil fueled enhanced. In 1937, Shell oil companies began to take over. This is when destruction began. It was even offered the rights to own the whole territory of Nigeria. This is something I cannot even fathom that of all things to inherit a territory, it is a greedy company supporting ruinous trade goods. Of course, companies like this are run by grandiloquent businessmen who's aim is to make an investment. Innocent African families stricken by poverty are easily overrun by concerns for the stock market measures. No doubt, Nigerians economy has worsened primarily for this reason. These oil producers take about "7.5% of Nigeria's land mass, known as the Niger delta." We, though, as Americans, benefit from this predicament, because 85% of our oil export earnings comes from the Niger Delta.
