    Oh shoot the actual Nigerian King coming up to London to sue Shell.

    Do you figure they ignored his messages thinking it was just spam the first time his administration contacted them ?

      Haha, my brain legit assumed it was going to be an article about scams for a few seconds while reading the headline.

      Anyway, truly hope he wins and Shell is forced to fix their fucking mess.

      Probably not. There are kings and other such traditional rulers all throughout Nigeria, if you’re doing business there you’ll know about them.
