Shell has also polluted waters and lands of the natives/tribals in Ecuador and other places in South America; in those instances, I do believe that companies like Shell and Exxon are majority owners of the local exploration & production outfits unlike in Nigeria where the government own the majority of Shell Nigeria. In South America, last I read about this in the Economist, the oil companies basically have gone scot free.

Whoah....Shell had nothing to do with Equador. Texaco, which was bought by Chevron, created the outrageous mess in Equador...which is worse than Nigeria. There's a documentary about it on netflix streaming.
