I would typically not answer the question of a person who did not answer mine but I'll make an exception for those who may have difficulty answering the flipped question.

The sharing formula for the multi-billion-dollar revenue extracted from the deep offshore oil wells between Nigeria and the massive International Oil Companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, ENI, and TotalEnergies is actually a laughable 20% - 80% in favor of the IOCs.
This brutally exploitative, legally sanctioned, and neocolonial arrangement was actively in place from 1993, through decades of systemic economic stagnation, up until 2019. Even after the highly celebrated 2019 legislative amendment, this lopsided formula has still not changed much in reality. It was merely pegged, calculated, and strictly tied to the cumulative number of barrels pumped.
For example, if the yearly cumulative production, the actual volume of oil extracted, or the total annual yield from the deepwater wells is merely 50 million barrels, the split remains 40% - 60% in favor of the IOCs.
If the production climbs above 50 million and comfortably sits below 100 million barrels, it becomes a marginally adjusted 45% - 55%, which is still heavily in favor of the IOCs. Only in the highly unlikely, mathematically engineered, and virtually impossible situation where the cumulative production reaches a massive 750 million barrels, does the sharing formula finally tilt towards an 80% - 20% split in favor of Nigeria.
To make matters worse, these same greedy IOCs still have the absolute audacity to claim that tens of thousands of barrels of crude oil, gas, and condensate are lost daily due to local oil theft, pipeline vandalism, and community sabotage. So clearly, the crude oil, the natural gas, and the subterranean wealth may technically belong to Nigeria, but the entire country is being systematically milked, drained, and looted into absolute oblivion by these parasitic Western oil majors.
This isn't even capitalism.
At least in capitalism you get a wage that *usually allows you to live from paycheck to paycheck.
This is straight feudalism
Lord and Serf.
The type of feudalism that inspired Lenin and Mao lol
The U.S. is investigating Germany for making medication and healthcare a little too affordable for their citizens.
They're pressuring Germany to raise prices and invest more in "innovative pharmaceutical research" to keep international drug prices from going down.
The Germans committed the first genocide of the 20th century in Namibia, where they exterminated the Herero and Nama people between 1904 and 1908. Around 40,000 to 80,000 Herero and 10,000 Nama died.
I just found out that water is considered a human right in Ireland, and households don’t pay water bills.
Every country should be like that.
Water is a human right and always should be.
