Abiodun Ogunbodede who at that stage was a student in
the Department of Sociology/Anthropology at the
University of Uyo, Nigeria. His paper is about the impact
of multinational companies, particularly those in the oil
(petroleum) industry, on the lives of the affected
communities and what he as an African anthropologist

problems, but by reading different opinions we become
more informed on a particular topic, and we grow to
become thorough critical readers and make informed

should be pointed out that through publications, human
issues, and possible solutions are made known to the
world and can assist in the implementation of positive
changes for humanity.” (APY:40) Critically discuss the
reasons and consequences of, as well as possible

identified by Ogunbodede (2015). (Do not exceed
