摘要

Dead fish wash up on the once-fertile shores of creeks around Bodo, a town in the Niger delta, that are covered with crude oil more than six years after two massive spills. Locals have only now received compensation from Shell, the oil firm responsible for the leaks. For the first time in half a decade, fishermen have cash to start businesses, repair their houses and send children to school. But most other villagers in this Ogoniland region of the delta wish Nigeria had never struck oil at all. "Look," says the chief of a tiny town called B-Dere, just a few miles from Bodo. He gestures to the deathly-black banks still bearing the marks of the slicks. "There is nothing to drink, nowhere to fish. What good has come from it?" As Nigerians head to the polls in presidential elections on March 28th the oil industry-Africa's largest-will permeate the vote. The cash it provides has greased Nigerian politics for decades. Gross mismanagement and corruption in the industry are the causes of much of the inequality and discontent with the ruling party in an economy that is not just Africa's largest but that ought to also be one of its wealthiest. Fixing Nigeria's oil industry will have to be the main priority of whoever wins the election, whether that is the current president, Goodluck Jonathan or his main rival, Muhammadu Buhari.
