If we think the BP gulf spill is bad. We don't know the price Nigerians pay practically every day. Sabotage accounts for about a quarter of the leaks. Half seems caused by "corrosion of pipelines and tankers". If you think we pay too much for our oil related products, what do the people of Nigeria pay?
If we pay more for our oil related products, it would not go to better environment controls, it would go to the Nigerian government and not the people who could benefit. So, what can be done?
