Hello Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well. I need you peoples help especially those that have been following the crisis in the Niger Delta. I have a research essay to write the relationship between Natural Resources and Conflict. I have decided to write about Oil and Niger Delta.
I am asking for people’s insight that is in essence to brainstorm with me as I go through the essay process.

I will argue in the paper that the oil which used to be a blessing to Nigeria has turned out to be a curse.

One of my body paragraphs will highlight the history of oil production etc in Nigeria and the oil companies currently present in Nigeria (which will also outline how oil have helped Nigeria in the earlier years).

2nd paragraph will highlight the negative impact of the oil in Nigeria (the conflict happening there now)-why it is so and what should be done? Is there any policies preventing these oil companies from building Infrastructure in that region?

Thank you all for your contribution
