The people described as criminal and unfair the plan by ExxonMobil to sale its assets to Seplat Energy, and to leave without cleaning the mess it created in the host community where it has extracted crude oil since 1961.

Unfortunately the entire place is a dump. From Lagos, to Warri, to Port Harcourt. They don't call it the arm pit of Africa for nothing.
They'll never clean up Baton Rouge either - operating since the 1920's.
Imagine what's floating around that water table.
Black Diamond still there. The sale to Seplat Energy of the 40% EM (Mobil Producing Nigeria) holds in their JV with NNPC (Nigeria National Petroleum, who holds the remaining 60%) was vetoed by the Nigeria government, a few days after Pdt Buhari (who is also the Oil minister) cleared it.
Internal fighting between different clans...
I worked in the area for 4 years on a 28/28 rotation. The place is generally a large dump.
After coming home, my wife would not allow me to enter our place until I stripped and was hosed off. Then it was straight to the shower.
The pay was great but the conditions were not great.
I wonder if the Black Diamond (Lekki, Lagos) is still there, ha!
