The floodgates have opened & hopefully these Oil companies that have blatantly polluted whole swathes of land and waterways, depriving millions of local people of their livelihoods can be hit where it hurts them most - in their pockets! Sadly the government didnt have much to do with reaching this settlement! Oil giant Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to a $84m (£55m) settlement with residents of the Bodo community in the Niger Delta for two oil spills. Lawyers for 15,600 Nigerian fishermen say their clients will receive $3,300 each for losses caused by the spills. The remaining $30m will be left for the community, which law firm Leigh Day says was devastated by the two massive oil spills in 2008 and 2009. - BBC
