Oil.. What should have went right... Didn't.

Reading the Nigerian Oil article from the National Geopraphic, totally brought me down the the realization that the start for oil in Africa was totally a bad idea. I think that Africa was already being used for its natural resources; being used so excessively, it is affecting the lives of the people, and still not contributing anything to Africa itself.. Which sucks because, without them, we wouldn't have half of the things we have now, especially oil.

After the discovery of the Oil, everything went downhill from there. The plants are all pretty close to some villages; making it extremely hard to live and eat. The oil plants have killed many animals and fish the Africans need to eat. There were also many explosions that took place at the plants, killing and hurting many of the workers. That really hurt my feelings; to know that their are business thriving in Africa, yet, still keeping major villages in the slums... That was when I understood the extent of the Abuse of Africa.. Just horrible.
