BCC Coverage of Niger Delta.

This BBC news story will give you a good idea of the crisis of the Niger Delta. What surprised me the most is how most of the violence and kidnapping are being performed by children young enough to still be in school. Over 200 people kidnapped, being held for ransom. It almost seems like Nigerian children do not have much of a choice. With a lack of efficient education and health, they become rather easy targets for gang recruiters. I also was also astonished with how reliant fishing use to be in Nigeria, and how it almost completely vanished along with the birth of oil.
