at involved a lawmaker from texas estate representative named drew darby. like many government officials. they received very large campaign donations from oil companies. it helps determine how much oil companies should pay the government when they are producing oil. the resulting conflict of interest is not only illegal in the u.s. it is talked about very openly they even gave representative darby the legislative champion of the year award. it is certainly not something that is can you show in a show up in court anytime soon. >> there is another story i want to tell from nigeria briefly.
