THEIR AMERICAN WAY SEEMS TO BE THIS NEW EXPLOITAION AND PILLAGING OF AFRICA WITH DESTRUCTION BEING USED IN SUCH A WAY THAT EMPATHY AND CONCERN FOR HUMANITY IS NONEXISTENT. THEIR ONLY DEMAND IS MONEY GREED HAS CORRUPTED THESE PEOPLES MIND SO MUCH THAT IT HAS ALSO INDENTED THE NATIVE POPULOUS OR THOSE IN GOVERNMNENT WITH THIS SAME TYPE OF ILLNESS GREED AND CORRUPTION. CHEVRON NEEDS TO PAY THEIR WAY IN AFRICA THEY NEED TO INSTALL APPROPRIATE PIPOES AND INSTALL TAMPERPROOF MECANISMS THAT WILL ALLOW FOR PROPER USE OF THESE PIPE LINES SO THEY CAN PROPELL THE GFOVERNMENT TO EXALT THE APRPRIATE PROFITS SO THE MAJORITY OF NIGERIANS CAN INDEED BENIFIT. AFRICA NEEDS STRONG GOVERTNANCE STRONG LAWS NON COLONIAL LAWS WHICH DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE AND SAFE GUARD THE RIGHTS OF THE AFRICAN PEOPLE. WHAT MUST BE KEPT IN MIND ALL COLONIAL LAWS WERE BUILT WITH THE PREMISE OF FAILURE THESE LAWS WERE BUILT TO UNDERMINE ANDUNDER GROW TH AFRICAN CONTINENT. TIME IS NOW NOT TO BE TRYING BUT TO ACTUALLY DEMOCRATISE NOT WITH THE GUIDANCE OF THOSE WHOM ARE THE SAME MANIPULATRES OF LAWS WHICH HAS FAILED AND CONTINUE TO FAILL THE TRUTH MUST BE OBSER5VED AND LAWS MUST BE DEVELOPED WITHJ THE REST OF THE CONTINENT IN MIND WHERE CORPORATIONS WILL BE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR CLEAN UPS THEY MUST REPAIR AND SHOULD THEY HAVE CONTINUAL MESS TO WHICH IS ENVIRONMENTAL DISATERS THEY WILL BE FINED EXCESSIVELY AND THEY MUST DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES PROMTLY NOT AT THEIR LEISURE IT JSUT DONT WORK LIKE THAT. THE DISRESPECT THAT IS SHOWN TO AFRICA THE ARROGANCE THAT IS BEING SHOWN MUST STOP. LAWS AND CORRUPTION OF LAWMAKERS IN NIGERIA MUST BE ABLISHED POST HASTE. THESE ARE SOME OF THE REASONS THEY THE WEST TAKE SUCH LIBERTIES. THEY KNOW YOU HAVE ARCHAIC LAWS WHICH ARTE NOT RELEVENT THEY KNOW YOU ARE VENAL SO THEY CAN ALWAYS BRIBE AND UNDERMINE. WHEN THESE THINGS ARE NT PSSIBLE AND THEY MUST DEAL WITH MAN ON A BIG MAN BASIS THY WILL STOP THEIR B--L STUFF. THEIR FACIST BEHAVIOUR IN AMERICA IS ALSO PART OF THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE BECOME NOT ANY ONGER THE NATION AND BASTION OF FGREEDOM THEY ARE FACIST THEY HAVE FACIST FREINDS THEY HAVE GREED AN CORRUPTION THAT IS RAMPANT THEY EIR LAWS ARE NOW DESIGNED WITH GOVERNMENTAS A DICTATOR AND OUNISHER THEIR IS NO LEGITIMATE DEBATE SYSTEM IN AMERICA. THEY HAVE THE LOST THE PLOT, THIS IS WHY AFRICA NEEDS TO DEMOCRATISE WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS AS THE BAISSI OF ITS DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES. WE MUST NOT LOOK TO THE WEST FRO DIRECTION THEY ARE LOST WITH THEIR MONARCHIES THEIR BANKING CORRUPTION THEIR INEQUALITIES THEY ARE CONFUSED THEY SEE ABOGEY MAN BEHIND EVERY DOOR.

TRUSTING IN THE "ALMIGHTY GOD" WORSHIPING HIS HOLY NAME DAILY KEEPING THE FAITH AND NEVER SEEK TO IMPLIMENT A NOTHER POWER OR SYMBOLISE ANY THING IN THE PLACE OF THE GREATNES OF HIS POWER. HONESTY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION CORRUPTION IS THE DESTRUCTION AND DEMISE OF ANY NATION. WHEN WE SEE THE SEED OF SATAN BEING EXALTED AMONGST THE PEOPLE WE KNOW WE MUST PURGE OUR SELVES AND STAND FRIM FOR RIGHETOUSNESS THEIR IS NOTHING GREATER THAN THESE ATTRIBUTES. SEEK TO EXALT GOD IN ALL YOUR LAWS TRUST NOT IN THE WIDOM OF MAN AS THE FLESH IS WEAK AND WE CAN ONLY SEE RIGHTEOUSNESS THRU THE EYES OF THE "ALMIGHTY GOD"CHEVRON IS A VERY LAX FIRM WITH NO HUMANE POLICIES TO SHOW THEIR APPRECIATION FOR WHAT IT IS THAT WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEM.
