<![CDATA[It is often said that there is a price to every battle; a gladiator’s willingness to pay that price is what defines him. Global oil exploration has been a game of trade-offs. In order to dig deep and draw out this black gold, the trade-off has been aquatic life, flora and fauna, global warming, and oil spillage. This work navigates the global malaise of oil spillages using the experience of Mauritius as a trajectory for mapping out a more precautionary path to deep-sea oil exploration vis-à -vis simple lessons from Malaysian handling of their own oil spills. Within the journey, it is prospected that there will be lessons for Nigeria and African oil giants. The final summation is that a contingency plan must always be handy, and environmental dangers need to be taken more seriously than they are being considered right now. One must also recommend cross-border cooperation to fight the malaise of global oil spillages. The implications of unchecked regular spillages would be catastrophic doom for the planet and retrogression of the push for sustainable development, and this must be avoided.]]>
