Halliburton Nigeria Jobs for Account Representative, Business Developtment (click here)
Hasn't Nigeria had enough of oil companies damaging its environment? Why aren't Nigerians running their own companies and filling jobs with their own people? The salaries are unbelievable.

I am quite sure there are Undergrads in Nigeria capable of doing this work. Perhaps, Halliburton is worried about conscience. If placing a Nigerian in the job there might actually be a conscience of how the environment is treated. Maybe Halliburton intends to start a war with the people all over again?

Militants in Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta region say they have "declared war" on the government after battling security forces guarding facilities.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (Mend) said it was responding to attacks by the military.
The military said it had repelled several Mend attacks. Both sides say their opponents suffered heavy losses.
Mend's violent campaign for a bigger part of the area's oil wealth has cut Nigeria's oil output by more than 20%.
Mend militants are the largest of several armed groups operating in the impoverished delta region. They frequently kidnap foreign oil workers and sabotage oil installations and pipelines.
Nigerian President Umaru Yar'adua is under pressure to crack down on the militants and make the delta safer for international oil firms....
This has gone on for DECADES and now Halliburton is at it again. This was in 2008. How many people died in the Delta since 2008?

The Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell (click here) has rejected claims by four Nigerian farmers that it should pay compensation for damage to their land.
The farmers are suing the company in a civil court in The Hague, claiming oil spills ruined their livelihoods.
Shell's lawyers told the court it could not be held liable because most spills were caused by criminal damage.
They said repairs were hard to carry out because of insecurity in the Niger Delta.
Then get out of the country. Why hasn't the Nigerian government garnered enough expertise to have their own people handle oil exports? Decades of environmental damage, citizen's deaths and birth defects. Somehow, I do understand the militias there. It never stops. The assault by oil companies to this country never stops and they actually have the idea they belong there over the rights of the people of Nigeria.
Shell lawyer Jan de Bie Leuveling Tjeenk told the court that sabotage and oil theft were widespread in the region....
Oh. Wait. I forgot. We have a cheap oil policy globally and this is the cost. Of course. No reason for CEOs to have a conscience, they have a noble cause on their hands.
Call me crazy, but, I have a sneaky suspicion that if the quality of life of the people actually improved, the environment was cleaned up and safe and the $50 million per year went to pay Nigerians to improve their quality of life, the militias might actually stop being so difficult to deal with.
What bothers me more is the fact that long confrontations become generational. You know, like Northern Ireland. The longer the people of Nigeria are impoverished, die at the hand of their oil contamination and basically suffer, the more entrenched the hatred becomes and the wars become permanent. Can you imagine that? Wars brought on because of oil extraction. It is true and it never stops.
