Dear Prof. Weber,

Thanks so much for your comment. The references you provided are very valuable. I appreciate.

Best regards.

Dear Emmanuel Nwakanma,

you are welcome. In case you have challenges in getting copies of some of the publications I might be able to help out......

Many Thanks Prof.

I'll be glad to have a copy of Michael Peel's "A Swamp Full of Dollars: Pipelines and Paramilitaries at Nigeria's Oil Frontier" (2010), and any other ones you can hand down.

I'm quite sure you are aware of the work by Dr Ukowa Ukiwo on ethnic conflict in the Niger Delta, but in case you are not I suggest you read it.

Many thanks Prof. Mancini. I will find a copy ASAP.
