Oil has played a strategic role in the economics and politics of
Nigeria since the mid-60s. Inspite the large oil earnings, the oil
producing Niger Delta region in Nigeria remains one of the poorest
and most conflict-prone region in sub-Saharan Africa. For most of
the Niger Deltans, the story of oil has practically been that of
'the bad and the ugly'. The legacy of oil has been severe economic
and environmental problems which have exacerbated political
tensions and social conflict in the country. This dismal natural
resource endowment narrative raises a key question, why has
sustainable development been elusive in the Niger Delta region of
Nigeria despite the magnitude of its oil wealth? This question is
the subject of extensive discussion in this factual book. Despite
the fact that the type and scale of violence in the oil region is
rooted in generalised poverty, exploitation and a discriminatory
system, what happens when a revolution gets hijacked by people
pursuing parochial agenda?
