Silly management twits aren't used to being accountable.

Lagos, Nigeria - Declaring Royal Dutch/Shell Group "an enemy of the Nigerian people," unions on Sunday called a November 16 nationwide strike that they said would target oil exports in Africa's oil giant.

The threats in the world's No. 7 oil exporter appeared likely to send new shocks through the global oil price market.

Unions called the November 16 strike after giving President Olusegun Obasanjo until Sunday to reverse September's 23% increase in fuel prices in Nigeria.

Union leaders singled out Shell - Nigeria's largest petroleum producer - which they accused of planning to try to block the strike in the courts.
