Who is benefitting from the exploration. Its time Federal Government stood up and took some responsibility for allowing the drilling in the first place. Hopefully President Obama will also think of his brothers and sisiters in NIgeria and ensure that a similar fund is set up for the inhabitants of the Niger Delta whose lives have been wrecked by US exploration and extraction - the latest leak being from an Exxon/Mobil pipeline. On 1 May this year a ruptured ExxonMobil pipeline in the state of Akwa Ibom spilled more than a million gallons into the delta over seven days before the leak was stopped. Local people demonstrated against the company but say they were attacked by security guards. Community leaders are now asking for $1bn in compensation for the illness and loss of livelihood they suffered. Few expect they will succeed. In the meantime, thick balls of tar are being washed up along the coast. With 606 oilfields, the Niger delta supplies 40% of all the crude the United States imports and is the world capital of oil pollution. Life expectancy in its rural communities, half of which have no access to clean water, has fallen to little more than 40 years over the past two generations. Locals blame the oil that pollutes their land and can scarcely believe the contrast with the steps taken by BP and the US government to try to stop the Gulf oil leak and to protect the Louisiana shoreline from pollution. Come on America - stop being so two faced and get real - and start recompensing your ancestors from whom you have stolen so much.

Like oil production would make them some kind of heroes. What BP_America tweets about (as well as presses in interviews) is how much oil they get up.

It's just as likely as some of the crap they have already tried. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGy4QzMhTb8 I had a strong urge to leave the lyric "Mr. Hayworth should be shot dead" in there....alas I took it out.

I was wondering how BP is reacting, thank you for letting us informed. Surprisingly BP is applying a one way communication model to tackle this huge crisis, but it doesn't seem that they had a proper crisis manual just in case one of this situation arises. It seems that they want to give the impression is under control using their CEO, but we don't they use social media to communicate openly? A clear example that sometimes silence gives consent.

The most visible person seems to be the CEO of BP on the television news – he is communicating the right message about taking action but I think that what this instance demonstrates is that in a crisis other forms of communication can be neglected. BP should understand that whilst the message being communicated by their CEO is on the whole a good message to communicate during a crisis – this message can be lost or distorted in the lively domain of social media.
