Aggrieved land owners battling the Shell Petroleum Develo-pment Company (SP-DC) over expired land leases have handed down yet another 10-day ultimatum to the multi-national oil firm to make payments on the land or face mass action from some 92 communities.
Rising from a meeting, the land owners under the auspices of Host Communities and Families lamented the perceived nonchalant attitude of the oil firm towards the expired leases and threatened to disrupt its exploration and production activities in Delta and Bayelsa if by the end of the ultimatum the communities were not paid.
In a strongly worded petition to the Delta State Deputy Governor, Chief Benjamin Elue, they said “we the host communities and families have decided that if payment is not made as expected, we will have no other option than to put SPDC-West operations in our various domains to a halt.”
Shell’s External Relations Manager (West), Mr. Harriman Oyofo, has however, appealed for calm on the issue, assuring that payments would be made shortly, as SPDC was not going to shy away from its responsibilities.
The lands in question were acquired by SPEC several decades ago to enable the oil firm lay its network of oil and gas pipelines.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
