ok so i have found a wireless internet point to be jacking, and now i can upload some blogs properly.
im on twitter so follow me there, i am updating that much faster!!
but i have been blogging offline so here is a lickle posting an excerpt from something i made earlier
Black Gold Burning
We had spent the day at the beach house on Ilashe island and were catching the boat back to the mainland> As we walked down to the mooring we spotted some black smoke coming over in the distance above a hut.
Thinking it might be a house on fire we asked someone and they told us that the oil pipelines run through a part of the island.
Nigeria is the 6th biggest oil producing nation in the world. Whilst I have been here I have experienced petrol "scarcity" and 6 hour long fuels ques. The town goes into petrol pandemonium from people hawking black market fuel in jerry cans on the roadside
- (be advised your car might never start, turn on its windscreen wipers or use its electric windows after experiencing it) -
to mobile policemen being used as mercenary petrol buyers to the highest bidder, storming into the petrol stations waving whips, guns and of course jerry cans to collect "petrol for chairman"> which chairman? we might never know, but at least his wife made it to that "o wan be" (you must be there) party.
at the beach i commented on how the oil tankers loomed on the horizon in their dozens like an armada ready to attack. for real. i took a pic -
will upload that soon -
juts loads of em, hanging on yoru peripheral.
then as we pulled out on the boat away from the island , we saw the true extent of the oil pipeline on fire.
global warming on a volcanic scale
the smoke reached way across the sky, it was so high up as well, crazy shit.
here are some pics, if they ever upload before next year, so you can see what i am on about.
its a damn shame, because a lot of lives have been lost and still are (niger delta) over this Black Gold Burning
ok so i just flopped the pic upload by trying to scam lots of em up, perhaps there is a firewall on this tingy.
