Western oil,meaning West Africa I suppose?
What drove those men to the sea?Didn't colonialists corrupt village chiefs and buy our land where we survived throgh subsistance farming?
Didn't the corrupt political leaders pocket bribes from multi-national oil companies that continue to degrade our environment?And with the revenue thereof not trickling down to the nation,the poor widow with four kids staying in a mud house?
There is no more livelihood inland,so where do you expect them to find jobs?With a lot of money cruising in the sea?
There is only one solution: Solve the inland issues and provide the youths with jobs!
