This oil has been taken from Nigeria at a great cost to human beings and to nature. That is wrong, because the people who are living here already enjoy so many things from the forest. They get their medicine, spices, meat, and water from the forest. If you cut down the forest and replace it with a monocrop, all that diversity is lost. Our tradition believes that development cannot be imposed.
Development has to grow.
The forest belongs to the community. A forest is not owned by individuals. It is a collective thing. A river is not owned by individuals. If you pollute the water that belongs to the community, you are not only violating the right of one person, you are violating the rights of every person.
