  this hasn't changed 12y later. 
  
  This talk ~~of running the premier company out of the country reeks~~ of Western incredulity reeks of Western superiority complex.

  The irony here is that the black market for crude oil refining is huge in Nigeria and is alongside she'll probably the worst contributor to pollution there. There's a really good vice documentary on it. >
  
  here it is >
  
  Yeah, this exposé and the one about the worlds largest lsd lab in the old missile silo are what got me into vice news. When ever people try complain about “over” regulation in the Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.)
  I point them to this doc. And before anybody tries to call me I’m a hippie tree hugger climate alarmist who doesn’t know anything let it be known I spent well over 10 years in the oil field and was raised on oil money before that. Recognizing that corporations shouldn’t be in charge of regulating themselves shouldn’t be a polarizing issue. Do you want the plumber to tell you the shit pipe is good or do you want an inspector to tell you? >
  
  Judge: TOS clearly states SheLL has the right kill each and every one of you during normal course of operations - did any of you read the terms of service before accepting it or did you just quickly push to OK button to get your cheap gas? >
  
  Fuck shell, I hope the Nigerians run them out of their country. >
  
  Nigeria's a nominal democracy. A very flawed one but it's a lot better than most of Africa. 
  The reality is Nigeria's making a ton of money off of the oil industry, and they really don't have any way of just nationalizing everything and telling everyone else to fuck off. 
  This talk of running the premier company out of the country reeks of Western incredulity. Most countries don't have the ability to just nationalize all valuable properties (steal in many people's minds), and then also start doing everything themselves.
