LOL @ 21:40, when they finally meet the rebels:

"Finally the commander, General Shoot at Sight, The Dude and The Wife Beater, gave us the green light to begin filming."

Aside from that, the whole thing just makes me sick. A local government in utter chaos is EXACTLY what all the big companies want. Almost no rules, and cheap payoffs. It`s a wild wild West Africa. Nigeria is a perfect example of why capitalism is ultimately directly at odds with the rule of law, and the general social wellbeing. Maximizing success means destroying everything else wherever it can be gotten away with. And to add to the hipocracy, you can be sure that our governments help maintain these situations in any way they can.

Yes, us shiny people here in the first world countries, we are so superior aren`t we, so successfull and productive. We drink the blood of third world countries.

Rape is too kind a word, and genocide is half off target.

We are eating them. And shitting them out.

I have to say, I was impressed by how articulate these people were, considering their current state of affairs. 5/5

hey thanks. i thought about this video as i got gas at Shell... they should play this video on that tv screen while we pump gas. wouldn`t it be great if we could hack that.

its such b.s. yea the corrupt officials are to blame for pocketing the money but...its like me selling you heroin and your little brother gets a hold of it and dies. who is to blame? the drug dealer who knows you live with a little brother or the dope head older brother. both are to blame init? no one wants to take responsibility.

Oils company pays puppet government peanuts to extract oil - government does nothing except protect oil company - people turn to extremism (terrorism) in desperation - war is sanctioned driving up the price of oil.

oil, water, drugs, food, Which genuis decided greed was good? Why are your sons and daughters dieing in the desert when the enemy is amongst you?
