I do not intend to compare the tragic situation of oil spill in the US that is polluting and causing huge loss of livelyhood for people leaving in the affected areas, with that of oil spills elsewhere.
I only would love to highlight the fact on the rate at which BP is responding to the pressure mounted upon them by the USA government. See how much BP is trying to make amends, to these damages.
Everyone is concerned; world press is reporting daily on this issue. The question is, who is giving an ear to the cry of the people living in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria?
Oil companies in Nigeria do just as they wish with their numerous yearly oil spills, and leave people living in these areas virtually hopeless.
The web link below provide a glimps of what people in the Niger Delta of Nigeria are subjected to.
How long will this last? Have Nigerians not beared enough? Why is it that no one seem worried when these oil spills pollute our farm lands, our rivers, and render people in the underdeveloped countries hopeless and useless?
US, while you are making BP pay for their act, remember to fight for us too because, the world entirely only hears and respect when you talk.
