Uploaded by: AlJazeeraEnglish
Video Description:
The 2007 National elections are approaching in Nigeria. People & Power reporter Juliana Ruhfus and director Hazel Chandler travel to the conflict ridden, oil rich Niger Delta to explore what is at stake. The history of the violent and rigged 2003 elections is creating a climate of fear and many people have little faith that 2007 will bring change and offer opportunities for the next generation.

Well i'll just get to the point, the us government cant fight every battle on this planet that should be fought, but i believe they should atleast hold themselves accountable for the pain they have caused a great number of people. the government can try to say that they arent responsible for this tragedy.... but we all know they are. they're have been in bed with big oil for a long time

Can you say SLAVERY?
Do you really think that the same people that practiced the most horrific act of slavery man has ever known cares for the same stock he enslaved?

Well, they are not in bed with big oil, they ARE big oil.

All African Nations are USELESS! It's by design. Every tribe must discard all foreign social practices, including religion, & revisit their ancestorial ways; then modify them so they can fit & be adapted to the science age. That's the most practical SOLUTION I see. But I'm just 1 man.
