The curse of resources? Nigeria’s paradox :  Vast oil reserves and export revenues but widespread poverty, lack of development and environmental degradation.
Oil fields in the Niger Delta
Oil pipelines have been laid throughout the delta region. There are frequent leaks.
Oil spills cause water pollution and soil degradation. Reducing agricultural production and fishing yields in what was a fertile area.
An estimated 70% of the revenue is stolen by corrupt government officials, while majority of the people of the Delta region live on less than a dollar a day.
With politicians directly benefiting from oil revenues there has been little incentive to invest in infrastructure and welfare. The economy remains dependent on oil with little diversification, declining agricultural and industrial output.
Oil flares are a constant danger and emit toxic fumes into the air.
Nigerian militant groups, including MEND, Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, disrupt oil supply in the delta
Militant groups such as MEND also able to target offshore drilling
