I can't even say no shiiit concerning this thing,,,bcos its embarrassing 15.5milliong means nothing to SHELL compared to wht they did,,,u killed pple and u paid just some chicken change,,and Nigerian foools will be happy to receive tht check,,,, if someone did something like this  to Americans they will wipe ur ASS open,,, I know nothing less thn 1 to 2 billion dollars will come out definitely...and besides they will be sanctioned to clean the whole environment  tht has been polluted withing fee weeks not even a month......we r still suffering from Slavery..now its kinda advnced slavery tht is it,,,,now tht stupid guys will be so happy receiving tht money due to hunger and frustration...were r we heading to Nigeria.............  and besides I know the SHELL mgt will be so happy bcos,,,its just like taking a spoon of water from and Ocean...
