Environmental Issues in Nigeria

Royal Dutch Shell (Shell) is one of the oil producers in the country, there have been many protests against the practices of the company and what it does to the environment, especially in the Niger Delta River. Natives of the area, specially they Ogoni people depend on the natural resources of the river so any spills or discharges that go into the river affects their live hood.

This is another example of how there is no regard what we are doing to this planet, how the natural resources are being affected and eventually humanity will run out of them.  Not only is that but there quite a lot corruption that affects the economy as well.  How is it that a country rich in petroleum has such a high percentage of poverty?
