Task 1
Through the song Niger Delta Blues by the group Bantu, we learn about the situation in the Niger delta. We get to know that there is an environmental disaster caused by the oil industry which is leading to poor living conditions for the inhabitants. On top of that, there are no schools, medical clinics, social services, electricity or clean water. In addition there are life-threatening diseases such as malaria, typhoid fever and cholera. Many worthy resources are taken away from their country, but no one still seem to care. Nigeria has petitioned the African Union, United Nations and many other organizations – but none have reacted. Nigeria has been living in decades in dictatorships. Human rights are not present in the country, and wars come and go.

Good summary of the problems this region is facing:) You could say something more about the specific issues the song brings up.
