Oil was first discovered in the Niger Delta in the 1950s, soon aftera powerful international oil industry developed. Nigeria today is theworld?s 5th largest exporter of oil to the US.? However the people are poor that live in this oil-rich land, andthe environment that surrounds them is deadly - oil leaks andexplosions abound, whilst the water supply is heavily contaminated.? In recent years, local guerillas in balaclavas and speed boats,armed with enormous rounds of ammunition, have taken on the oilcompanies. They demand the right to live in their own clean andunpolluted land, and that the delta is restored.? These dramatic images document for the first time the extentof the enviromental damage and the daily conditions people thereare forced to live under, revealing not only to the world, but alsoto Nigeria itself, what exactly is happening to their country, whereeverything is being taken from this land - and nothing is beinggiven back to the people.George Osodi is a Nigerian photographer from Lagos. Hisphotographs range between photojournalism and artisticdocumentary, closely observing social, economic and ecologicalprocesses of exploitation. George Osodi was chosen to be part ofthe prestigious Documenta art fair in 2007.
