Why is Nigerian government not holding the oil companies for cleaning up, not creating jobs, and modernizing Delta State? These people are going through miserable lives.
I know that you said this years ago and I doubt you’d be able to see this. The real reason why the government isn’t doing anything about the oil companies is because they bribed the corrupt government of Nigeria and the army would even take out protesters on the oil company’s request. During the 90’s there were some people that tried to get Shell out of their country, but Shell bribed the government to have them “taken out.” It’s sad what greed and money can do to some people.
Because there see you as an infidel looking for means to wipe you out of Earth. This is what the igbos knew 50ysars ago and you are still asking the same dum question today with the Education you have.
While you can blame the oil companies for reckless practices like uncontrolled flaring which they will not do in their counties of origin, you cannot expect them to directly develop the communities. The governments at all levels are even more irresponsible!

I can't lie but if I were in their shoes It would be incredibly hard not to do the very same thing. You come to a community.... collect it's rich resources and cannot even out of kindness or at least duty build up the community? Is that so hard? After all the billions of dollars being made there?
You have all the reasons to become a rebel , your people in the community should unite so that you can achieve your goal , your greatest enemy here is money, some of your neighbors will accept money to sold your group to politicians
To me, it seems the oil companies and Nigerian government should provide economics advantages to these people. Their story is very sad. They are too poor and need help.
Nonpeon the rebels kill Western ship workers who do nothing. just think what was your opinion if your brother went to work in Nigeria and killed by the rebels.
That would not help anything. It would only start a civil war. They would probably spend it all on weapons and then complain that they didn't have enough left for food or infrastructure. You have to accept that some problems cannot be fixed, because the people trying to fix it have the same mentality as the people who fucked it up. "You cannot solve a problem with the same way of thinking that created it in the first place." - Albert Einstein -
Akeem Corion What a callous thing to say. War is never the answer. No matter how bad you think it is, it could always be much, much worse, and calling for war is the surest way to get there. You have much to learn. In war, nobody wins except for the people who make billions of dollars off it.
Look at those poor people and look at the governor he's living large what other people are dying that's just terrible this world was built with lies that's just terrible don't you think that's the truth people
Not in that same area it is not safe to live close to those burnings.. being unable to know that has gave way for corruption...the simple fact is people should relocate but they want to insist living there and nothing real can be done....find a location for them and let them grow there In there own wish only
They need to hire all those gunmen as construction workers in building the new stuff. Just have a massive construction crew, I'm sure they would all be happy to help! Great vid, Cheers!
i agree, if those men can disarm like that it is very telling of how much they love their community and want to see prosperity, under every rebel movement there is an underlying cause and i am shocked but delighted especially in the lands of Africa to see people peacefully disarming... They held their end of the bargain, lets hope the politicians in Nigeria hold their ends, for their own sakes.
And the story is the same throughout the continent. My African people should wake up to realise that there is a lot to go around for everyone if we work smarter.
This is water and air pollution on a massive scale. The people are the ones who suffer from this massive environmental damage
5 лет назад+1
The people are the ones doing the massive water and air pollution... It's hypocritical, they pollute by themselves, then claim western companies have to clean their shit up, then they murder the employees sent to clean it up.
Give power to an average Nigerian, this is the result.. I feel bad for my brothers.. I am from South West Nigeria and I can confidently tell you nothing will change in the next 10 years, infact we are on a massive decline.
No drop of oil should have been taken from the earth without first putting in place a safe process to collect the gas. This can not happen in Britain or America. Why in Nigeria?
Promises upon promises without fulfilment and my people are still not with senses to understand they've been betrayed and left with nothing to suffer till the end of time.
Its so sad we have these bunch of leaders who never have the interest of masses at heart. what kind of future are these leaders building for generations to come???? who is even ready to salvage these situations.
You never surrender your weapons to a rogue regime. surrendering weapons should be contingent on substantial financial deposit of money in a bank that will be used for clean up of the Niger Delta and welfare of militants.The Nigerian Government can never be trusted to do the right thing.
I hate crooked politicians. Take them out and make the world a better place! That should be the rebels main target, the politicians, not the oil companies. No point hitting something you can't see. Go for the politicians. Good luck to these rebels, they got a righteous cause
Unforgivable; So much wealth and yet so much greed. These corporations could have finished the school for nothing -- and to help the people who lives and land they rape would cost so little and yet, they do nothing. Unforgivable. And then they dress nicely, go to their churches on Sunday, eat cookies, and talk to their pastors with angelic smiles. I do not condone violence, not for any reason -- but can anyone be surprised?
God I hate the greedy people that build these place and benefit...who make more than enough money that they can help these people but they don't, instead they leave them with all of the bad that comes from it. This and so much across the world infuriates me and I wish I could do something about it. That "governoer" should be ashamed! How do you live like that and let your people starve? If I was in such a position I would help others. I hate greediness. And the minister of defense calls them barbaric for resorting to violence, but i'm sure that was their last straw. I bet no one listened until they became violent. He can't expect them to just take this...ugh
I am buy buying an electric car becuase of this video. Thank you very much for producing the video and showing the suffering communities all due to selfish people.
Where do you think the electricity comes from? The rubber? The plastics? The lubrication? The energy to mine the metals and materials for the car and batteries? Oil, that is the future, clean production of oil.
Everything about your electric car be it the plastics, metals, rubber etc is gotten in the same way in African countries like the way the oil is gotten. It's all blood
Did you really have to ask? Nothing has been done, and nothing has improved. If anything, it's gotten worse, and it's gonna get much, much worse. Personally, I see Nigeria going down the same road as Somalia in the near future. Their gov is fucking with the people way too much, and that always leads to violent revolution.
@@MFKR696 Its really new to us watching, so I think its a valid question. Thanks for answering though. Its really sad Most the african countries are operating like this. I recall a similar resources in Congo being used for Electric vehicles and the people of the country not gaining anything from it either.
@@audi6329 No worries. There's an old saying that UN personnel in Africa use when referring to African problems. "TIAFA"/ "This is Africa. Fuck It". That about sums it up. The ex- Colonizers fucked Africa up pretty much beyond repair when they left. That's specifically why the shit in Rwanda happened. All of the racial tensions between the Hutus and Tutsis were fostered by the Belgians when they were there, and then they just up and left, so it was bound to happen.
Y the government didn't give them millions of dollars to show leadership. Help the villagers it way too long. Look how long they kill Ken Saro Wira. Same thing he was fighting for. Give the wealth to the people.
And not a single word is spoken about illegal refineries of locals themselves which are an ecological shitstorm as well. It is to easy only blame oil companies and government for the ecological disaster.
Niek Beenen, Yeah so true, Here on youtube is a film showing how the nigerian people have caused nearly all this damage. most of this by stealing from pipelines & selling it cheap, Throwing oil over acres & acres of land & setting light to it. I watched it only yesterday, Not a thought for how that would affect their own people, Go have a look at the comments sections their all laughing & shouting about how wonderful these people are, They aint laughing now are they? They did this themselves & that is their own greedy fault! It is also their fault for enabling corrupt government officials they themselves elected! The Apple doesn't fall far from the tree,
OH yeah, because socialism worked always great in history. Jesus christ.... . Look at the last attempt to have a great propersing socislism - VEnezuala. ;)
The money Shell and ExonMobile make should be put into schools & local assistance to allow the Nigerians to be educated enough to have jobs on the oil rigs in the future
Tell me how, I will like to do that. That is my state and my area and I have lost a sister and other relatives to this wickedness. Things are still thesame or worse after the amnesty program
These people I don't blame them for doing this, because they are being robbed their resources by the foreigners with federal government corrupted leaders, and also they destroyed their environment, so they are right to fight for their land and their minerals resources, they are not terrorist they are the heros?...I could do the same if that was my village.
This is what happens when super low IQ, no impulse control, highly strung attackers see someone being successful as a problem. Corruption is rampant, stupidity is too!
You go to Abuja you will never see a single oil well but is develop with our oil money which is the only national asset and they don't even accord us with any single respect but

He got paid to give up guns
they were given incentives to give up arms and in the process sold their people out
Yeah that's rules number one
I'm crying!!! God please help your people
You have all the reasons to become a rebel , your people in the community should unite so that you can achieve your goal , your greatest enemy here is money, some of your neighbors will accept money to sold your group to politicians
It’s inspirational to see the hope some of these people still have. The fisherman for example
Reminds me of the Native American Indians 1866 Sioux Wars, to stop the settlers from stealing gold in the Black Hills.
To me, it seems the oil companies and Nigerian government should provide economics advantages to these people. Their story is very sad. They are too poor and need help.
We need help from outside Nigeria please help because my people are dieing for own land bless ooh bayelsa bayelsa.. let the world wetness this so sad
Let human rights do something about this Niger delta people please their selling people and still acuquisen the people. Nigeria government is thief
