Shell is not an American company..It is a Dutch and British company...

[louistan]

Nigeria should Nationalise it. And all African States should do the same with respect to their national resources currently under foreign control.

[Insightwithnelejimadu]

There are more indigenous oil companies exploiting Nigeria's oil than western oil conglomerate like shell.

Yes, Shell has exploited Nigeria in the past may be till today but the oil industry in Nigeria isn't controlled or dominated by foreign oil companies but rather indigenous companies.

The more reason why dangote refinery was built to reduce Nigeria crude and natural gas being exported abroad which doesn't add value to the local economy.

Moral of the story. Don't buy Shell

[shomadea]

Shell primary goal is to maximise profits for its shareholders over the environment, infrastructure development and welfare of indigenous people. Transition from oil rich to oil curse.

Companies are not in any country just to be nice and give away all profit, it's not the Red cross or the UN Companies' goals are to make money. It's the country it operates in that should set the rules, boundaries and take a fair tax they can use to build a better country.

So how is that NOT crime, nevermind?
One day, people will pay for evil.

[InoKun-luef]

Nigeria has to empower it’s people to lunch Class Actions Lawsuits for hundreds of trillions of dollars against these multinational corporations. These cases should be launched by Nigerians for Nigerians, and in Nigeria.

Today there isn't even anymore protests.

I had a friend whose wife died by having being exposed to oil contamination to caused her to die from exposure from eating 🥣contaminated fish 🐟 in the rivers in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Shell isn't the biggest operator there. You're telling stories that are
30 years old. As to the environmental devastation, all industries when initially put in are harmful. It takes years to get better. All the West and Japan started out the same way. Bangladesh, for example has now gotten past the first stages of industrialization: clothing manufacturing. As they, as a society move up the value chain, they too will replace those industries with others.
Let's not also forget that warring rebel groups routinely blow up the works. In addition the gov, of Nigeria itself, rather than re-invest in the eq, let all the eq rot. They enriched themselves and ran the eq. into the ground.

Shell gives peanuts and takes all the lion share

[ananmai]

New ways to influence through corruption and people in powerful position bought by big names and companies. In poor countries.
