Nigeria is the 6th largest supplier of oil to the United States. The U.S. people consume 500,000 barrels of oil a day from Nigeria.

When U.S. oil exploration companies found oil in Nigeria, in order to get the approval from the Nigerian government to drill, U.S. oil companies lied to the Nigerian government telling them that the money flowing into the country was going to be good for the Nigerian people.

This was an outright lie to the Nigerian people so that oil companies could profit. What most Americans are kept in the dark about is how their consumption of oil is killing the people of Nigeria.

Oil companies have known for years what is happening in Nigeria and yet they still spend tens of millions of dollars a year buying Congressmen and having them prevent solar power development in the United States.

The video you are about to see shows how the oil trade in Nigeria has enriched politicians both in the U.S. and Nigeria, as well as the big oil companies, while bringing suffering to ordinary people.

Gangs have formed in a kind of mini-civil war for who should control the oil.

The Nigerian government is demolishing average Nigerian homes and churches to make room for luxury housing for rich oil executives and their American workers.

A pastor who has had his church demolished in the name of the oil trade laments, “The oil boom has turned into the oil doom.”

A woman who has just had her home demolished, in the name of oil, clutches her young children and begs, “I need help. I need help.”

The Rush Limbaugh Republicans who believe “all business is good, in fact it’s downright heavenly” need to educate themselves on the oil trade.

How many people in Nigeria have been killed in the name of oil? This is what happens in a post Republican control era where 8 years of Republicanism and small government have led to a devaluing of human life. It is much like the debate in America on Health Care where Health Insurance companies have denied coverage and charged extortion like monopoly fees forcing some 50 million Americans to be without insurance. These bible thumping Republicans have lost their way. The bible says that money and the pursuit thereof is the root of ALL evil. Yet somehow, this part of the bible is ignored by these Republican zealots.

This is what America has become after 8 years of unchecked Republicanism where government is seen as evil and business as good.
