Shell has removed just 7% of the oil. The rest, it seems, is still marinating in the Niger Delta’s mangroves—turning creeks into carcinogenic soup and ruining the livelihoods of over 30,000 people.
Shell, the undisputed champion of greenwashing and environmental impunity, is once again back in court—but not, alas, to accept a long-overdue environmental award. Instead, it’s the latest chapter in one of the oil industry’s most brazen acts of negligence: the systematic poisoning of the Niger Delta, followed by nearly two decades of corporate denial and delay.
From 8 May to 21 May 2025, the High Court in London will hear the Bodo community’s final, desperate plea for environmental justice. This isn’t about new spills. It’s about two massive, uncontained oil spills in 2008—yes, seventeen years ago—that Shell’s then-subsidiary, SPDC, managed to turn into a masterclass in how not to clean up after yourself.

Oil Giant Faces High Court While Still Dodging Accountability Like It’s a Sport
Ah, Shell—the oil-slicked titan of greed, pollution, and profit-before-planet whose moral compass seems to point straight to the nearest offshore tax haven. You’d think this global goliath of carbon chaos would be comfortably lounging atop its pile of petrodollars. But no, even they aren’t safe from Wall Street’s cold, calculating buzzards. Enter Elliott Management: the hedge fund equivalent of a vulture on steroids, now circling Shell like it’s a wounded gazelle.
Why invest in the future when you can squeeze the last dollars out of the apocalypse?
