i agree with what you're trying to say, however the video does nothing to quantify the actual scale of flaring in the niger delta which is the main environmental issue at hand. bar the comments about the local communities having no say, virtually everything quote could be said to be true of any flaring operation eg grangemouth in fife, where flaring is highly controlled and minimised and is only present for safety purposes. more generally there are manyof these videos which vaguely detail the outline of an issue without actually managing to define the problem at hand. out of context this video fails to even explain the issue - without prior knowledge of the circumstaces in the niger delta you gain no understanding of them and it is understanding and education that is needed to invoke change.
im the T of justice :D

What makes me even more sorry is that this is made by the foreigners who don't have any right to harm and polute others land. It is just very painful to see this. Have you listened to the song House of pain by Deep Purple? It can be downloaded from mp3 search engine http://www.mp3hounddog.com . It is painful just like it.
Very interesting conversation there. I've recently seen Ed Kashi's photos from the Niger Delta at the Human Rights Action Centre. If you want to take action on Shell and their human rights abuses... - http://www.amnesty.org.uk/s...
The way home led across black-earth fields that had just been ploughed up. I ascended the dusty path. The ploughed field belonged to a landed proprietor and was so large that on both sides and before me to the top of the hill nothing was visible but evenly furrowed and moist earth. The land was well tilled and nowhere was there a blade of grass or any kind of plant to be seen, it was all black. “Ah, what a destructive creature is man….How many different plant-lives he destroys to support his own existence!” thought I, involuntarily looking around for some living thing in this lifeless black field.

The Price of Hypocrisy?

This is shame. Why is Shell treating these people as if the land still belongs to the Crown? Are they third-class citizens in their own country? This is not just obnoxius and inadmissible, but its is an outrage, sheer chauvinism and disdain of human life!
Nice! Particularly like the Crime Scene tape.
I love the 'Shell Shock' slogan!
