Have you heard the news?

We’ve been BANNED from this year’s 🔥Shell🔥 annual general meeting (AGM).

Shell have conveniently jumped on Heathrow’s draconian anti-protest injunction, by deciding to hold their AGM in no other than the Sofitel hotel at Heathrow’s Terminal 5 – the only place where protest is banned!

BUT TRY AS THEY MAY WE WON’T BE SILENCED 🤫

We will challenge Shell and continue to bring the voices of the Niger Delta communities to the belly of the beast at Shell’s global headquarters. read more

Shell to Nigeria: Here’s Some Benzene and a Legal Brick Wall. Good Luck!

Oil Giant Faces High Court While Still Dodging Accountability Like It’s a Sport

LONDON, APRIL 2025 — It’s the trial that should make your blood boil (unless it’s already poisoned with benzene, in which case you may want to sue Shell). In a London courtroom lined with empty bookcases—symbolic, perhaps, of Shell’s moral library—two Nigerian communities are fighting for the basic right to drink water that doesn’t cause cancer.

Shell? They’re fighting tooth and nail to avoid handing over documents that might reveal what they knew, when they knew it, and how long they sat on their gold-plated hands while entire ecosystems died in oil-soaked silence. read more

Spills, Spies, and Lies: Shell’s Slick Exit from Nigeria

**Wall Street is an invisible partner in Shell’s plunder: happy to enjoy the spoils, deaf to the spoils of war Shell waged on Nigeria’s environment**

Cue the confetti: Shell is finally packing its bags after 87 years in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. But before anyone applauds, note that the oil giant is slipping out the back door largely to avoid cleaning up the monumental mess it created, all while still clinging to the profitable parts of the business. In a $2.8 billion “exit” deal announced in January, Shell agreed to sell its onshore Nigerian subsidiary to a local consortium called Renaissance. How noble—except Shell isn’t really riding off into the sunset. The company generously decided to loan the buyers $1.2 billion to help them purchase Shell’s assets and will pony up another $1.3 billion to fund future cleanup and gas projects. Why would an exiting company invest further? Perhaps because those projects conveniently benefit Shell’s remaining 25.6% stake in Nigeria’s gas enterprise. In other words, Shell is getting paid to “leave” while secretly keeping a foot in the door and a hand in the cookie jar. read more

Shell’s Latest Con: Selling Stolen Oil Fields Like a Used Car Lot Clearance

Shell’s fingerprints are all over the brutal military crackdown that led to the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists in 1995. The bones of thousands more Ogoni people—murdered, displaced, and left to suffer—are a permanent testament to Shell’s legacy.

Ah, Shell. The oil giant that never met a community it couldn’t exploit, an environment it couldn’t pollute, or a public trust it couldn’t shatter. This time, the corporate behemoth—backed by some of the world’s most “ethical” investors like BlackRock and Vanguard—is at it again, pulling off what can only be described as a multimillion-dollar magic trick: selling off Ogoni oil fields in Nigeria for a neat $2.4 billion. Because nothing screams corporate responsibility quite like profiting off stolen resources, right? read more

Shell on Trial: The Oil Giant That Poisoned Nigeria Now Faces Justice—If It Can’t Buy Its Way Out

Because Profits Matter More Than Human Lives, Right?

Shell—the undisputed champion of pollution, corporate greed, and dodging responsibility—is finally being forced to answer for its decades of devastation in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. On February 13, 2025, the High Court in London opened proceedings against the oil giant, as the Bille and Ogale communities fight to hold Shell accountable for the destruction of their land, water, and livelihoods.

Decades of Spills, Zero Accountability

The 50,000 people living in these communities have spent years living with Shell’s toxic legacy—hundreds of oil spills from Shell’s pipelines, leaving their water undrinkable, their farmland useless, and their health in ruins. And despite making billions in profits from Nigeria’s oil, Shell has offered nothing in terms of compensation or cleanup. Absolutely nothing. read more

Because Who Needs Ethics When You Have Billions?

Once again, Shell—the ultimate sin stock, planetary arsonist, and poster child for corporate greed—finds itself in a UK courtroom, forced to answer for decades of devastation, pollution, and suffering in Nigeria.

On Thursday, as thousands of people sued Shell and its Nigerian subsidiary, SPDC, over catastrophic oil spills in the Niger Delta, protesters gathered outside London’s High Court to remind the world that Shell’s business model is built on ruining lives, destroying ecosystems, and dodging accountability. read more

Shell’s Business Model: Pollute, Lie, Profit, Repeat: The Real Question: Why Is Shell Still Allowed to Exist?

In a plot twist that surprises absolutely no one, a BBC investigation has exposed Shell for what it truly is—a ruthless, polluting oil giant that lies about cleaning up its mess while quietly slipping out the back door with billions in profit.

A Billion-Dollar ‘Clean-Up’ That Cleans Nothing

Let’s start with Shell’s so-called $1 billion oil clean-up in Nigeria—a project that was supposed to remedy the decades of environmental destruction Shell has inflicted on Ogoniland. But according to a whistleblower, the entire operation is a scam designed to fool the public while stuffing politicians’ pockets. read more

Shell on Trial: The Oil Giant That Polluted Nigeria for Profit Now Faces Justice

Well, well, well—the corporate overlords at Shell are finally being dragged into court for their decades of destruction in the Niger Delta. From February 13 to March 7, 2025, London’s High Court will host a showdown between Shell, the kingpin of oil pollution, and the Ogale and Bille communities, who have spent ten years fighting for their right to drink clean water and not die from corporate negligence.

Shell’s Decades of Toxic Greed

The communities, home to 80,000 people, have been battling Shell and its Nigerian subsidiary SPDC since 2015, demanding compensation and a proper cleanup after enduring hundreds of oil spills. These spills contaminated water sources, wiped out farmland and fisheries, and exposed residents to severe health risks. But instead of taking responsibility, Shell has spent more time dodging accountability than it has cleaning up its mess. read more

Shell Faces Judgment Day: 10 Years of Delays, Spills, and Corporate Lies Finally Head to UK High Court

It’s finally happening. After a decade of legal stonewalling, corporate gaslighting, and enough environmental devastation to make even the most soulless investors blush, Shell is being dragged—kicking and screaming—into the UK High Court. Because nothing says “responsible corporate citizen” quite like spending ten years arguing that the destruction of entire communities isn’t legally your problem.

From February 13 to March 10, 2025, the Preliminary Issues Trial of Nigerian Law for Shell vs. Ogale and Bille communities will take place in London. That’s right—Nigerian communities are being forced to travel to a foreign country just to have a chance at justice, because Shell has mastered the art of denying responsibility while profiting off the suffering of others. read more

Shell-Shocked: The Sinister World of Surveillance, Spy Games, and Shell’s Shadowy Past

Ah, Shell, that global paragon of corporate virtue (read: greed), is at it again—reminding the world that profit always comes first, no matter the cost. With a track record as smooth as an oil spill, Shell has managed to combine ruthless ambition, a touch of espionage, and an uncanny ability to slide through controversies unscathed. Let’s dive into the murky depths of corporate surveillance.

A Glimpse into Corporate Espionage

Imagine sitting in a piss-drenched doorway, pretending to be homeless, just to “eyeball” a target across the street. One moment you’re incognito, the next you’re suited up, tailing someone through the City and “ripping” their phone—a polite euphemism for illegally downloading its contents. This isn’t a spy movie; it’s just another day in the life of a private investigator. read more

Sir John Jennings, former Chairman of Shell Transport and Trading Company

Sir John Jennings, former Chairman of Shell Transport and Trading Company, is remembered as an influential leader during some of the most turbulent periods in Shell’s history. Jennings, who passed away at 87, played a critical role in navigating the multinational through external crises and controversies, earning a reputation for both strategic acumen and a uniquely human approach to corporate leadership.

A Steady Leader Amid Turmoil

Jennings took the helm of Shell Transport and Trading in 1993, overseeing critical operations in the North Sea and Nigeria during a period marked by significant environmental and human rights challenges. Two defining moments of his tenure included:

•The Brent Spar Disposal Controversy (1995): Greenpeace’s opposition to Shell’s plan to dispose of the Brent Spar oil storage buoy in the Atlantic Ocean forced a public relations battle. Although Shell eventually abandoned the disposal plan, the episode marked a turning point in corporate environmental accountability. read more

Oh, Shell, you poor, misunderstood oil giant, trying so hard to make a clean getaway from the toxic mess you’ve left in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. But what’s this? Nigeria rejected your grand $1.3 billion deal to sell off your onshore oil production unit. The local consortium, Renaissance Africa Energy, wasn’t up to snuff. Even in a landscape ravaged by pollution, oil theft, and violence (mostly thanks to companies like Shell), the regulators still have some standards. Who knew? read more

Oh, Shell, always finding new ways to trip over its own oily feet. This time, they’ve managed to fumble a $1.3 billion sale of their onshore oilfields in Nigeria. Yes, you heard that right. The almighty Shell, which practically wrote the book on ruthless exploitation, can’t even offload its pollution-ridden assets without causing another mess. Nigeria’s oil regulator took one look at their proposed buyer, Renaissance Group, and said, “Yeah, no thanks. These guys aren’t remotely qualified to run this operation.” read more

Shell Sells Nigerian Assets While Locals Demand $310 Million for Ruined Land—The Same Nigeria Where Shell Spied, Armed, and Supported a Brutal Regime

In the latest episode of Shell’s Long History of Villainy, the oil giant is back in the hot seat as Nigerian communities demand $310 million in damages for, you know, destroying their land and waterways with oil spills. But this time, it’s not just about the oil spills—it’s about Shell trying to quietly sell off its Nigerian onshore assets for a cool $2.4 billion while ignoring a court order. Because, hey, what’s one more legal violation when you’ve already armed a military regime and spied on activists, right? read more
