No data set can capture the psychological toll that grand corruption, often fuelled by the foreign oil companies that pump Nigerian crude, exacts.

Saro-Wiwa moved to the UK as a child before the execution of her activist father, Ken Saro-Wiwa, in 1995. Upon her return, she is baffled by the “arithmetic of survival” for the majority of Nigerians, who live on less than $2 a day in an economy where oil has made everything ridiculously expensive and “bribery lubricates the cogs of everyday life”.

The arithmetic extends to the once-renowned university at Ibadan, from where young women are “flown by politicians and corporate Big Men to Abuja [the capital] and Lagos” to provide sexual favours at their revels. By the same token, the regime of Sani Abacha, the military dictator and world-class embezzler who ordered Ken Saro-Wiwa’s judicial murder, exemplifies “how sociopathic greed can be”.
