I thought I would let you figure it our for yourself regarding Africa’s top oil producer and whether it is stage-managed collusion between soldiers and extremists while African leaders are visiting, children are dancing at weddings, and people are watching a soccer match at the cinema, whoever is orchestrating it.

KANO, Nigeria — Nigeria is Africa’s biggest oil producer and has one of the world’s fastest-growing economies — 7 percent projected for this year — but corruption and mismanagement have failed to translate that growth into much-needed jobs.
The Nigerian Navy last week destroyed 260 illegal oil refineries and burned 100,000 tons of contraband fuel, but critics say this targeting of small-time criminals fails to confront the biggest culprits in oil thefts, the politically connected criminal cartels that sell on the international market.
On Sunday, Shell confirmed that an undersea pipeline leak has forced the closure of its Forcados export terminal, a major installation with capacity to handle 400,000 barrels of crude a day. The terminal was closed March 4 and the cause of the leak still is being investigated.
All I saw about it in my Globe was that small oil slick.

Yes, most of the arguments are over land, not religion, but please don't let that soil the narrative. It's the surge of violence and a rampage against the most vulnerable with families still wondering about the missing. Even the kids are killers in Nigeria.
That should clear up any confusion regarding the narrative I'm getting about Nigeria from my regional flag$hit, one that continues to this very day.
Doesn't it feel like an invasion of Nigeria is necessary? Root out those terrorists, protect those women, and secure that 3rd-largest oil supply to the US.
