Petro-politics, Gender Violence and Human Trafficking in Nigeria’s Niger Delta Region
In Nigeria’s Niger Delta, oil politics by global oil corporation, national government and local leaders perpetuate gender inequalities in the distribution of oil benefits to women in oil communities. Women also bear the greater cost of oil-induced environmental harms which adversely affect their traditional livelihood of farming and fishing. Scholarship on human trafficking in Nigeria focused scant attention on the structural conditions that infl…

This co…

Drawing on fieldwork data, this article examines the ways in which oil pollution harms water resources and fuels conflicts in the local comm…
Environmental Insecurity and Poverty in the Niger Delta: A Case of Ilaje
Oil-related activities have led to environmental degradation that has not only engendered the decline of traditional economic activities in oil-bearing areas, but also led to a violent communal crisis, youth militancy, and the government and oil companies’ brutal repression of protests and violent demonstration by the people of the Niger Delta. This study examines the interrelationship between environmental insecurity and poverty in the oil-beari…

What implications do these belief systems have for the quest for poverty eradication in contemporary Nigerian societies? This belief system seems to be at variance with th…
