For more than two decades a struggle has been waged against transnational corporations, and the collective imperial system that has opened investment opportunities for them, in the Niger Delta. The people of the Niger Delta have fought against Shell, Chevron and Total, and the accompanying British, French, and US imperialism that backs these companies. Some victories have been scored, but the cost has been high. Thousands of people have been killed by the Nigerian government, operating on behalf of these transnational corporations and their imperial backers.

Books

This book is a beautiful chronological, journalistic and political analysis of the history and formation of the Nigerian nation state by the colonial masters, the connection between pre-colonial history of the traditional states of the Nigerian peoples, slave trade, the colonial era, the nationalism movements, the independence and the civil war. Pastor Barry argues in his book that all these historical elements and periods culminates into the fragile nation that is only existing on the gossamer string of endemic corruption and political manipulation to oppress the oil producing ethnic groups like the Ogonis. He proffers confederalism that recognizes the over 250 ethnic group as the only solution for peace and co-existence, if, Nigeria has to stay together. The title of the book is the metaphor that Nigeria was man-crafted and for a particular interest that disregard the wishes of the peoples and undermines the indigenous status of the ethnic groups
