This is to agitate for the change in U.S. policy on doing business with those African governments that are widely known as the world's most corrupt governments, particularly as ranked by Transparency International and/or such other bodies. Nigeria, for instance, has been consistently ranked among the most corrupt governments in the world. The epicenter of Nigeria's corruption has been the sale of its crude oil. For years, while the U.S. has been in the forefront of promoting the dividends of democracy and good governance, the country continues to look the other way in the face of clear evidence of corruption and corruption-imposed inhumanity by the Nigerian regimes with which they do business. Ask President Obama to link crude oil deals with Nigeria with the country's corruption index.
