Abstract

The peculiar position and significance of the Niger Delta region to the economic and political stability of Nigeria is self-evident. As the region with the largest deposit of crude oil and gas which is the mainstay of the economy, the Niger Delta necessarily occupies a central place in the economic destiny of the country. It is pedestrian that the exploration and exploitation of crude oil is now a common phenomenon in the area and the presence of numerous oil locations and gas flare points all over the region is a clear confirmation of the prevalence of oil related activities in the Niger Delta. This paper examines the various types and causes of conflicts pervading the Niger Delta Region till date and notes that unless there is equitable distribution of the proceeds of the petroleum sector and a buy-in of the relevant stakeholders, the drivers of the conflict ravaging the region will continue to thrive.

尼日利亚尼日尔三角洲地区冲突的社会法律动态评估
尼日尔河三角洲地区对尼日利亚经济和政治稳定的特殊地位和重要性是不言而喻的。尼日尔河三角洲是尼日利亚原油和天然气储量最大的地区,而原油和天然气是尼日利 亚经济的支柱,因此,尼日尔河三角洲必然在尼日利亚的经济命运中占据中心位置。勘探和开采原油已成为该地区的普遍现象,该地区遍布的众多石油开采点和天然气燃烧点清楚地证实了尼日尔三角洲与石油有关的活动的普遍性。本文研究了尼日尔三角洲地区迄今为止普遍存在的各种冲突类型和原因,并指出,除非公平分配石油部门的收益,并得到相关利益攸关方的支持,否则肆虐该地区的冲突驱动因素将继续猖獗。
