    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not talk about a political system in Equatorial Guinea. That may be a subject for another day. I talked about exploitation and utilization of mineral wealth in Equatorial Guinea. Over that, I have no regrets. I will give that as an example any other day. This is because I have been to other countries which are oil rich. I have been to Nigeria, which is now the second biggest oil producer on the continent after Angola. However, if you go to Lagos or Abuja, you will find long queues of people waiting to get petrol, because there is shortage of refined product in Nigeria despite the fact that apart from producing the biggest quantity of crude oil in the continent, they also have three refineries. However, none of those refineries are working. It is a democracy. They hold elections regularly and there is a regular change of regime. The reason the refineries are not working is because the big brothers and the generals have got interest in the oil trade. It is more profitable to export crude oil and import a refined product than to get it from the ground, refine it and distribute it to the people. If you interfere, there will be a military coup, I was told."
