Historically, in the Niger Delta, when womenвЂ™s economic livelihoods have been disrupted by changes in government policy, they have taken on the forces of their economic oppression. The impact on womenвЂ™s roles in society is acute in Niger Delta communities where women bear the responsibility of household survival of female-headed families or of their household unit within a polygamous household configuration ( Omorodion, 2004). WomenвЂ™s traditional livelihoods in fishing, agriculture and trade have been lost due to the pollution of waterways, soils and vegetation. Political unrest in the Niger Delta is tied to state corruption, neglect and oil company malfeasance ( Jike, 2004 Ikelegbe, 2005). The nine oil producing states comprising the Niger Delta (see Map 8.1) are among the least developed in Nigeria, despite the fact that the country is a top producer of oil globally and oil revenues account for the majority of NigeriaвЂ™s GDP. The environmental destruction brought on by the irresponsible practices of multinational oil companies (MNOCs) in Nigeria has opened up social space for womenвЂ™s political mobilisation.

Projections of car-buying behavior over a 10-year period (1976-1985) were made and results presented in the form of 10-year average values of the percent difference between results under 'With Title II' and 'Without Title II' information. Three simple computer models were prepared: (1) an Accident Model to compare the number of occupants suffering fatal or serious injuries under assumed car-buying behavior with and without the availability of Title II information and changes made by car manufacturers that modify crashworthiness and car weight (2) a New Car Sales Model to moreВ В» determine the impact of car-buying behavior on 22 societal elements involving consumer expenditures and employment, sales margin, and value added for dealers, car manufacturers, and industrial suppliers and (3) a Car Operations Model to determine the impact of car-buying behavior on the total gasoline consumption cost, crash repair cost, routine maintenance, repair cost, and insurance cost. Surveys of small groups of private passenger car buyers and fleet buyers were conducted, and the results were analyzed. Societal consequences of the availability, under Title II, Public Law 92-513, of information on crashworthiness, crash repair cost, routine maintenance and repair cost, and insurance cost are investigated.
