The solution is very simple when they say the pen is mighter than the gun it is true.
My solution is this.
The aggrieved communities should build a case with valid evidence and proof.
The communities should present the written  memorandum of understanding between the said oil companies and the host communities.
And let us see where the latter has failed in meeting the agreement and if found wanting the next step is to prepare a case against them and file it in the Hague,USA and UK.
The oil companies will pay compensation which will be used to develop the host communities.
This has been done in Alaska so many times so i see no reason why it should not work in Niger Delta.
The money should not be given to any individual but it most be paid to foreign commission that will over look the development of the said communities involved in the dispute.

Please add to this so that we can make a difference.
Battles are won with pen not guns

the communities are too selfish.
