It’s really sad and heartbreaking that our leaders don’t care about their people living around those oil fields. I don’t blame those pirates because they don’t have a choice than doing this.
@@Riorozennot the entire world but it is Total, Exxon, Shell & others to respect a minimum of ecology in these countries. They are actively bribing states to keep it that way in all the sub saharan coastline petrol extraction.
@@Riorozenafrica was fucked by colonialism for centuries and it is still being plundered for natural resources to this day. the creation of borders determined by colonists and not the people, the economic destruction of so many places, the artificial creation of dependence on foreign aid, and more have led to a lot of harm. still, the many countries and numerous cultures of Africa are far more developed and diverse than is commonly portrayed in the west.
the fact that you go lecture student about piracy...why dont you also show them how those european companies are milking nigeria dry..and exploiting their resources
That part right there… IT DOESN’T FIT THE EUROPEAN NARRATIVE OF CORRUPTION AND INEPTITUDE BEING THE MAIN REASONS BEHIND PIRACY… EUROPEANS ALWAYS TELL HALF TRUTHS TO FIT THEIR NARRATIVE!!💯💯💯✌🏾
We Malaysia used to be a third world country and been exploited by colonial before. However, having a good leader really help us to overcome this imbalance of employment issue (too many expatriate). Our government had established our own entity in managing Oil & Gas sector and set the quota system (for foreign company to hire not less than certain percentage of local engineers or workers). We are now moving towards 80-90% localization, regardless of which company, Shell, Repsol,Hess, OMV, you name it, there is always more local people than expat.
Yes totally bro you and Singapore are South Asian dream I in India also think if my state was divided from India we would have much more progress India is just rougue state in which half of the tax money is used for biharis and uttar pradesh which are just going corrupted people I hope one day we will get our own country and will surely become successful like you everyone should be like you guys
yea. its just hard to organize though nigeria is comming up, recently a teenage girl from nigeria won the international math olympiad, and nigerian banks are now competative with european banks... gives me hope for the future.
I respect these guys. Those huge oil corporations make billions from other peoples resources and don't give them shit. Someone needs to do something about it.
But oil corporations pay taxes to the government. What have the government used the money for? Squandering it and later joining hands with the people to blame the oil companies.
This is horrible. Think of outsiders coming to your country, taking billions and not giving you anything. How this can go on, in this day and age, is ridiculous. I'm not saying piracy is the answer but these Nigerians deserve so much better. 😥
These are actors. The first guys we're real who got killed by army but that clip is not from this documentary. This journalist paid some cheap actors to make a nice stereotypical documentary
@@notveryrea1 common sense of real and fake.. Cant u tell that these guys are trying hard to portray the real pirates.. The demeanor of the real ones is nothing like this.. They don't have to try hard to look like pirates . You only try to look like pirates when u r not one
That 1 million dollars a month on security could be used to build hospitals on the areas where the oil is mined- projects could be set up to utilise the locals- food could be bought thus encouraging agriculture- the list is endless but this could be a win win situation for all
How can anyone disagree, Just please not good to hurt innocent men & children. The oli company, I don't think care about anyone or anything. Crazy world.
You have elevated journalism to a new level. I applaud your bravery. I enjoyed and learned a lot from the documentary on why certain people behave the way they do. In the case of the Niger Delta, it is difficult to blame the pirates when listening to the pirates and local leaders and amidist all actions, but killing hostages is inhumane. See you in Uganda soon! Oil and it curse!
No exploiting a whole country and leaving starving babies with nothing after yu took all there resources is inhumane, to Hell they go idnt blame the Pirates n' the Black Devil, may God grant them and there Country victorious
They're doing humanity a favor by paying oil companies to get oil from their country then not investing that money into their own infrastructure so they then rob the oil companies and take ransom money from the oil that they gave permission to the companies to have. It's just a shitty government
Not until you are kidnapped for ransom. Sailors, who are innocent are kidnapped and many times killed. Imagine that happening to a close family member. tourists have been taken also. Working men on ships have families to feed also. In this documentary alone 2 people from an NGO organization from Kenya were kidnapped who were innocent. And 5 sailors working on the ship from Malaysia were killed. imagine how many kidnappings/killings happen yearly. They would take you to .. no problem.
@@alexanderorion2389The oil 🛢 companies should start hiring the ppl of the land from which they take the oil from. Maybe that would could the problem down in half
The risk of going to the creeks in Niger- Delta in Nigeria is too high. The chance of being killed by opposing pirates , Nigerian army JTF or intense clash between pirates and Nigeria military forces is very high. Avoid those places if you love your life and family.
The question should be "how are all these super rich companies running a business so successful in such a poor country and everyone is so quite about it?" The reporter talks about corruption in his class but yet he has seen and experienced the state of the Nigerian people but yet says nothing about them except how "PIRATES" are ruining all those companies operations and capital. I guess Africa has nothing but oil, not even people "from where you standing"
Yeah! You are partly correct that the researcher emphasized on PIRACY, but not on corruption. But, do not forget that, in this research, he was only decided to carry out studies on why the PIRATES have chosen to embark on such activities and why & how they have been successful without being seriously dealt with, despite security on ground. The aim of the research was not to study corruption in oil theft and governance.
I'll tell you how, THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT!! Just like anywhere else, there's a upper society! The sad thing is they doing their own people dirty, not a different race, their depriving their own ancestors!!! SPEAKS VOLUME!!!!
The country is poor because the locals are lazy and they lack resourcefulness .Even the oil extraction,rail construction takes foreign expertise to do it.
I do not blame these pirates. Large coorperations such as Shell do practically the same things while investing nothing in the local economy. The local inhabitants do not need to receive money from big oil, but should invest in education and other social services. Only that will help the locals!
Do the math these pirates claim they are trying to help their people but I don't see it the only thing he talked about buying was weapons cocaine and alcohol exactly the same way they are here in the United States
@@daleestep9518 yep. Not hard to tell where the moniker sneaky comes from. They’re just angry because like in all things we do it exceptionally better.
I agree with them, give them training and jobs. 27:11 the security on one rig is 1million per month. I’m sure they could put that money into the local community’s and pay for food, schooling, and Medical care. The key point schooling, teach and train the locals to do these jobs. Pay them the same rate an ex pat would get. The locals will then focus more on getting a job on a rig and not risking there life’s and taking life’s on the rig
This Pirate leaders have great guts accepting interview, compromising their current location. A good example is the first pirate group who got raided by the army.
Exactly. Silly move. Not even talking about what they doing is good or bad. They allowed the spies and traitors in and had to audacity to boast of immortality.
Don't worry is not gonna happen anymore , they understood their mistake. And the delta mangrove is huge like Amazonia , it's difficult to find them , they use to move often
Nigerian government should require oil companies hire locals, that's how the economic grows and people get out of poverty. Companies shouldn't bring other nationals if locals can do the same job or the companies can bring in minimum of such workers.
Samething happen to many cities in the Philippines.these chinese companies come into our country bringing their own nationals instead of hiring our locals,leaving them unemployed while these corrupt politicians are making money with these communists invaders.
The government did what he did cause the oil tools are made from USA USA oil tools make it VERY easy to get oil like is nothing 😐😐 We gotta give them our tools and they give us oil
Exactly!!!! Every country in Asia or South America oblige foreigner company to hire LOCALS but Africa in general don't , it's a part of why we are not " developped " yet
so sad that they must turn to violence because the state does not care for them and expects them to die silently they are victims of greed and exploitation
Violence is the black mans excuse to commit crime ALL OVER THE WORLD AFRICA QMERICA EUROPE ALWAYS SAME EXCUSE WHERES THE HARD WORK LIKE INDIANS OR ASIANS
@edwin pillay Wasn't it just? No "Dollyweird" hack outfit could put out a splatter movie that would cause me practically anxiety attack symptoms like that "introduction" did - good on him that he realized Le Journaliste wasn't their enemy & good on all of em for giving the greedy corporate "noncontributory" corporate suckling pigs so much hell - "(they) deserve it."
This whole video is far better than 90% Hollywood and Bollywood movies . Salute to the French interviewer salute to his courage and sad to see the condition of pirates as white people looted entire Africa for their profit . "We can't abduct Indians and Philippine 😅😅"
The problem is not the companies but the weak and corrupt government which is allowing such exploitation and other issues in its country. Its the governments job to regulate and if they would do their job properly, both the companies and the people in the country would be able to live better
the oil corporations do way more for you than those pirates. If any of them got hold of you and your family couldnt pay for your ramson they would sure as hell kill you. Do nor romanticize criminals dude.
Exactly, so you know dealing deranged people in positions of power, there's no way you are normal if you believe Robbing people and using the same money you robbed them to buy security so they cannot be able to come and demand what they deserve. Lunacy
You can't blame these people for violence. They are expoited for billions and left to rot in pollution and poverty. They are doing what ANY person would do. They have found their niche and only way to make money to support their families. It is the oil companies who commit piracy against the country of Nigeria!
I agree that you took a bold step in this research all in the bid to demonstrate to your students. Can you also do a video of how your country France is causing crisis in Africa because of Mineral resources in Africa. Demonstrate it to your students how your French government is causing havoc just to illegitimately steal resources in Africa. We will be waiting for your feedback..
@@spaceman69 fair question. I think dating back to colonialism the foreign powers still have profiting contracts with the local corrupt governments. Most of the profits go to these huge companies and little goes to the government of the country, which should be the legitimate owner of the resource. It's like having a gold mine in your private backyard, and for whatever reasons your neighbour does the digging and selling and you only get a small rent for the excavations. Of course there are many details and it's probably more complicated than that but think about it, every big company will want to find as many ways to exploit a resource for maximum profit, it's a basic buisiness principle, however the question is why should these foreign companies have so much power on a smaller country which doesnt have the political or economical.influence to reverse this?
I wonder if Disney will make a movie series "Pirates of Nigeria"? Maybe Denzel Washington can play the GOOD "bad" guy pirate. When Europeans were pirates, they were even able to secure Government contracts and wound up in Hollywood. Seems to be a double standard.
European pirates created hubs of commerce. Don’t blame us that even with 100s of thousands of dollars the best yours can come up with is stick huts and rusty AKs. All other races built roads thousands of years ago, they still can’t even manage that.
Europeans were pirates in the days of no technology....if anyone knew where these guys were or any pirate... even EUROPEAN PIRATES.... they would blow them to pieces.... let's use our brains here
So if you're driving by a poor neighborhood and they car jack you and hold you hostage or kill you..they are heros and you are not a victim? Seems reasonable l guess 😂
@@jefferyhutchison9775that’s nothing close to what’s happening tho , you sound illiterate even thinking that was a equal situation, the oil is in THEIR country and then don’t even employ the people of the area and leave them poor , but that’s the same as a carjacking yea okay lol
he keeps pointing his gun at him because if they are being followed by police as soon as the pirate poses a threat the police will attack so he's testing from a distance to see if the interviewer is undercover
If any one is out there reading this comment, specially company owners, if you want to do your business peacefully, give what the people deserves from their own resources. Instead of paying millions of dollars for criminals, it is better for you to build hospitals, schools, water stations for the community and employee from the community and of course pay good money. Then every body can stay, work, move... Without problems. Otherwise even if you have the best security devices in your company it would not protecting you from a disaster.
Exactly dear, don't mind them bcos Africa stories enriches them alot, even when they are the reason Africa is as bad as it is but God will punish them in due time...
France colonized many undeveloped 3rd world tribal lands many years ago especially in and around Africa, forming the "French Colonial Empire", and around early to mid 20th century they allowed the tribal lands to have independence and form their own country and government, in exchange for rights over all their natural resources, forming what is known today as "Neocolonialism". Because these undeveloped countries like Somalia and Nigeria don't have any control over their natural resources, their government can't profit enough to develop the country into a sustainable, efficient, and working economy, so technically these countries are still stuck in a "tribal phase" because of the French leeching everything off of their lands like a bloodsucking mosquitos. The only reason the French are constantly harassed by pirates is because the oil industry would rather spend just 1 million per month for security measures than invest several ten-millions per month for the locals to have basic human needs like clean water, food and medical care. the reason why Nigerian and Somalian military don't do anything about the pirates is NOT because of "corruption/bribery", but because these pirates do what they do as the only measure of feeding their families and children. Killing the pirates means most civilians will die from starvation. And these d*ckhead Frenchman have the audacity to call these countries "corrupted". All of these problems exist because France has a huge power-trip and greed problem. Not to mention all the other industries they're running in foreign countries: gold, other metals, diamonds, other gems, coal, forest woods.
This is really sad man😢! There's a day I went to juja containers what I saw there, you cant believe such a place exists. Juja is not a good place to live as a campus student. Decisions you make in campus and the choice of friends, will determine the direction your life takes. My heart feels the pain this mum is going through.😢
They are hardened criminals. They don’t tend to share easily. Look at the violence they have to do. Those types of people don’t share with people who don’t suffer with them. Mostly.
Your next video should be on how the oil companies contribute to the woes of the local communities. How much did you pay to be accompanied by armed escort on every voyage?
It’s cool to see these kinds of docs, but I also don’t understand why the pirates allow themselves to be interviewed. If I were a pirate, everything I do would be on a need to know basis and no one else needs to know lol.
17:05 Bruuuuh… This dude gotta have the biggest Balls in the game… Imagine u sit Infront of an fully Coked up Ripped Psycho Pirate, who tells u right in the Face that u would be a good victim to Kidnap, and u just ask him how much he would get 😮 MAD Respect for that Cameraguy
How can they invest so much money against piracy but they can’t employee the people living in the villages it’s ridiculous. The people are attacking because they are desperate and they are men in need of providing for there families.
I don't know why going to meet dangerous pirates and expect them to be pleasant that's ridiculous... what if he had blown off your head like he said... thanks for being brave so we could see this interview anyways.
I really love what the pirates are doing but please make sure you people don't kidnapped poor masses or people who are actually suffering to survive please 🙏
Wow you are truly brave man ☺️. But am telling you what truly inspires me is when i see people suffering it always inspires me to do something of which this is one
It's well documented of the past, France to being the most proficient at holding COUNTRIES captive...so it's understandable the pirate leaders cause for concern..
I honestly am shocked they aren't hiring for any jobs in the areas they set up shop in, and then they wonder why people are turning to piracy and kidnapping..
Hello, I do not agree with resources being taken from a country without recompense. These people live in abject poverty and it is irresponsible of us to think that taking something without replenishing from the source is responsible. What is the solution to this?
@@jacobhansen8819 Its the fault of the companies that wield more power than the Nigerian government. If they had compensated these communities this wouldn't happen. This has nothing to do with corruption thats just shifting blame. some of these oil companies are worth close or even more than the Nigerian government...
Excellent presentation. Brave journalist. The problem occurs since not engaged the employment of locals. Pirates just risk their life just for their community lively good. It is for the govt and UN should consider upliftment instead of spending so much crores on safety. Even so much spent on safety they can not prevent pirates. We pity for somalian people. All over the world since, Europeans exploit the resources of third world countries for which they have to pay the price

This whole video is far better than 90% Hollywood and Bollywood movies . Salute to the French interviewer salute to his courage and sad to see the condition of pirates as white people looted entire Africa for their profit . "We can't abduct Indians and Philippine 😅😅"
Wow I would have even had the courage to visit some of these places that he did. Such a great piece of information and knowledge. Thank you
warri is not that bad that's where am from .......just a a lot of illiteracy and superstition...oh shiit it's bad 😂😂
If I had to root for pirates or the oil corporations I would root for pirates ❤
The problem is not the companies but the weak and corrupt government which is allowing such exploitation and other issues in its country. Its the governments job to regulate and if they would do their job properly, both the companies and the people in the country would be able to live better
the oil corporations do way more for you than those pirates.
If any of them got hold of you and your family couldnt pay for your ramson they would sure as hell kill you.
Do nor romanticize criminals dude.
Instead of investing on the security, they could invest in making the lives better for the people in Nigeria
Supposed too be the leaders of the country job ,but nobody wants too do the right thing
Too many puppet government in Africa we must get rid of all of them
Exactly, so you know dealing deranged people in positions of power, there's no way you are normal if you believe Robbing people and using the same money you robbed them to buy security so they cannot be able to come and demand what they deserve. Lunacy
@@blessings1441 the company don't want hire locals, that's a problem and a lot of Nigerians are graduated
You can't blame these people for violence. They are expoited for billions and left to rot in pollution and poverty. They are doing what ANY person would do. They have found their niche and only way to make money to support their families. It is the oil companies who commit piracy against the country of Nigeria!
I suppose nigerian goverment and the president are totally proud when they saw this documentary.Very encouraging for vloggers and tourists :)))))
😂😂😂The Nigerian Government don’t care about shit!!
I agree that you took a bold step in this research all in the bid to demonstrate to your students. Can you also do a video of how your country France is causing crisis in Africa because of Mineral resources in Africa. Demonstrate it to your students how your French government is causing havoc just to illegitimately steal resources in Africa. We will be waiting for your feedback..
Can you precisely show how resources are stolen? Everyone is complaining about how resources are looted but dont show any evidence.
When it comes to talk about how France and it’s Allies plunder and murder Africans that topic can never be taught
@@spaceman69 Go on an expedition to research this
Wow u mad because he did not cover something you wanted to cover
@@spaceman69 fair question. I think dating back to colonialism the foreign powers still have profiting contracts with the local corrupt governments. Most of the profits go to these huge companies and little goes to the government of the country, which should be the legitimate owner of the resource. It's like having a gold mine in your private backyard, and for whatever reasons your neighbour does the digging and selling and you only get a small rent for the excavations. Of course there are many details and it's probably more complicated than that but think about it, every big company will want to find as many ways to exploit a resource for maximum profit, it's a basic buisiness principle, however the question is why should these foreign companies have so much power on a smaller country which doesnt have the political or economical.influence to reverse this?
I wonder if Disney will make a movie series "Pirates of Nigeria"? Maybe Denzel Washington can play the GOOD "bad" guy pirate. When Europeans were pirates, they were even able to secure Government contracts and wound up in Hollywood. Seems to be a double standard.
Not Pirates of Nigeria,but Pirates of Somalia is there with Al Pacino and Barkhad Ahmad.
@@armadilloburns4880 Touche! (Ooopps)
European pirates created hubs of commerce. Don’t blame us that even with 100s of thousands of dollars the best yours can come up with is stick huts and rusty AKs. All other races built roads thousands of years ago, they still can’t even manage that.
😂😂😂
Europeans were pirates in the days of no technology....if anyone knew where these guys were or any pirate... even EUROPEAN PIRATES.... they would blow them to pieces.... let's use our brains here
Wow how brave they all are! I don't agree with violence at all yet I find I cannot disagree with these men.
They got killed after 10 days cause of your video
Don’t think that’s the case ..
@@cassandra8436
😂🤣🤣😅🤣😅🤣
It is pal!
No, 10 days is short and was before the release of this documentary!
Taking journalism/teaching to the next level. This guy's balls are astronomical
You sir are definitely brave,I pray your safe on your future journeys,this was intense to watch 😬😆,thank you.
Reasonable people.... keep on fighting for what is truly yours
So if you're driving by a poor neighborhood and they car jack you and hold you hostage or kill you..they are heros and you are not a victim? Seems reasonable l guess 😂
@@jefferyhutchison9775that’s nothing close to what’s happening tho , you sound illiterate even thinking that was a equal situation, the oil is in THEIR country and then don’t even employ the people of the area and leave them poor , but that’s the same as a carjacking yea okay lol
The guy literally has balls of steel.
Amazing work - this movie is stunning documentary.
he keeps pointing his gun at him because if they are being followed by police as soon as the pirate poses a threat the police will attack so he's testing from a distance to see if the interviewer is undercover
Yes, it is obvious.
13:44 the guy told "don't be scared about me" to a guy holding a fucking ak47 on his hands 🤣🤣🤣😂
Respect to bro risking his life for this documentary
this is one of the best documentaries.
When the cry of the masses are been ignore ,then the saying is true .
A hungry man is an angry man
If any one is out there reading this comment, specially company owners, if you want to do your business peacefully, give what the people deserves from their own resources. Instead of paying millions of dollars for criminals, it is better for you to build hospitals, schools, water stations for the community and employee from the community and of course pay good money. Then every body can stay, work, move... Without problems. Otherwise even if you have the best security devices in your company it would not protecting you from a disaster.
Very painful and touching story
Well said. The journalist would have advised these companies as well in the documentary.
Would not solve anything, these dudes still want to get the millions by kidnapping people. Instead of working hard.
Brilliant comment, hope everyone follow it.
Salute to this guy journalist! Very brave
The courage required to do this comes from a businessman and teacher and not a journalist.
The leader looks like a proper movie villian.
Ironically the good guy as hes defending his land from foreign invaders.
Lol 😂😂
And THIS is why I don’t venture to other countries. I keep my feet planted on home soil. As an American, you are a target in countries like this.
I believe you did also find sea pirates in Europe, Latin America, Asia but no, it must be Afrika and possibly Nigeria. Thank you
Exactly dear, don't mind them bcos Africa stories enriches them alot, even when they are the reason Africa is as bad as it is but God will punish them in due time...
Lol 😂
2:08. Wait a minute..Did the guy seated on the right shout, "Praise the Lord," and then everyone responded with a resounding "Hallelujah"?
Amen brother. God is good.
I don't blame them at all, they are even so nice. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Really appreciate your work...stay safe
France colonized many undeveloped 3rd world tribal lands many years ago especially in and around Africa, forming the "French Colonial Empire", and around early to mid 20th century they allowed the tribal lands to have independence and form their own country and government, in exchange for rights over all their natural resources, forming what is known today as "Neocolonialism". Because these undeveloped countries like Somalia and Nigeria don't have any control over their natural resources, their government can't profit enough to develop the country into a sustainable, efficient, and working economy, so technically these countries are still stuck in a "tribal phase" because of the French leeching everything off of their lands like a bloodsucking mosquitos. The only reason the French are constantly harassed by pirates is because the oil industry would rather spend just 1 million per month for security measures than invest several ten-millions per month for the locals to have basic human needs like clean water, food and medical care. the reason why Nigerian and Somalian military don't do anything about the pirates is NOT because of "corruption/bribery", but because these pirates do what they do as the only measure of feeding their families and children. Killing the pirates means most civilians will die from starvation. And these d*ckhead Frenchman have the audacity to call these countries "corrupted". All of these problems exist because France has a huge power-trip and greed problem. Not to mention all the other industries they're running in foreign countries: gold, other metals, diamonds, other gems, coal, forest woods.
This is really sad man😢! There's a day I went to juja containers what I saw there, you cant believe such a place exists. Juja is not a good place to live as a campus student. Decisions you make in campus and the choice of friends, will determine the direction your life takes. My heart feels the pain this mum is going through.😢
The bad thing about it is the Pirates keep the money for themselves instead of passing it around and distributing it to the people.
They are hardened criminals. They don’t tend to share easily. Look at the violence they have to do. Those types of people don’t share with people who don’t suffer with them. Mostly.
why don’t you go there fight the government and pass it to the people ?
The life expectancy is 47 years, that’s more disturbing than any act of violence a pirate could cause.
That Pirate is in no way a leader. why give an answer to all those sensitive questions? 15:00 he just leaked his tactics in public
Your next video should be on how the oil companies contribute to the woes of the local communities. How much did you pay to be accompanied by armed escort on every voyage?
He telling them don’t be scared 😂😂😂😂
Haha!!
Been looking for this comment
he don’t know what to say at that moment 😂😂 he was trying to say he is not a bad person 😂😂 i also laughed
It’s crazy he said come inside but they still outside 😂😂😂😂wtf tell me I’m not the only person who got that 😂😂😂
It’s cool to see these kinds of docs, but I also don’t understand why the pirates allow themselves to be interviewed. If I were a pirate, everything I do would be on a need to know basis and no one else needs to know lol.
I really love what this gentleman was saying I'm in support of you people hundred percent 👍💪 you people look amazing 😟❤️❤️
Your ignorance is shocking these prates are scum they don't help anyone but themselves
Their mistake is to agree to talk to the journalists..that expose them..and their operation..
And why they don't interview the companies
Very good documentary..
17:05 Bruuuuh… This dude gotta have the biggest Balls in the game… Imagine u sit Infront of an fully Coked up Ripped Psycho Pirate, who tells u right in the Face that u would be a good victim to Kidnap, and u just ask him how much he would get 😮 MAD Respect for that Cameraguy
The dudes most probably been up for a whole year. He looks fucking totally nuts, theses guys have balls
Looks to me the "pirate" was a very talented actor.
The guys in the Uganda army are top notch lads though. OUTSTANDING people. Those little ass boats has two HUGE outboards good god
How can they invest so much money against piracy but they can’t employee the people living in the villages it’s ridiculous. The people are attacking because they are desperate and they are men in need of providing for there families.
10:13 low cost of piracy… not true. Tell that to all the dead pirates. Cost of doing business is measured in more than just money.
Can someone please tell me what the Nigerian pirate was saying about not attacking Indians and Filipinos? 17 mins in
He said they are cheap i think.
@@tapiwachinhema1380 thank you
They don't fetch him lots of money unlike Europeans.
He said their are very poor and cheap they worth notting
They are cheap. They don't have a lot of money.
this guy is so braaaave.. I was really worried for him since I started watching this documentary
I don't know why going to meet dangerous pirates and expect them to be pleasant that's ridiculous... what if he had blown off your head like he said... thanks for being brave so we could see this interview anyways.
Well, Janice, it’s called integrity and humanitarianism. Unlike the scammy clickbait you seem to try and peddle, these videos are what society needs.
Frist time watching this type of video.This truly is scary! This man is super brave.
I’m a pirate, I live in Africa iam 26 yrs old
I don’t understand what is so bad about us people
I really love what the pirates are doing but please make sure you people don't kidnapped poor masses or people who are actually suffering to survive please 🙏
Wow you are truly brave man ☺️. But am telling you what truly inspires me is when i see people suffering it always inspires me to do something of which this is one
I pray for the safety of our troops defending their lands from the enemy
Those enemies are your very own people not the whilte man.
@@yurlim our people and the white are same so don’t judges where you have not being to before okay
This documentary is very old. John Tobo has been dead for years now.
Thank you for context. I did quite enjoy it nonetheless.
What happened in Hobio was beyond justifiable!!
It's well documented of the past, France
to being the most proficient at holding COUNTRIES captive...so it's understandable the pirate leaders cause for concern..
I honestly am shocked they aren't hiring for any jobs in the areas they set up shop in, and then they wonder why people are turning to piracy and kidnapping..
Hello, I do not agree with resources being taken from a country without recompense. These people live in abject poverty and it is irresponsible of us to think that taking something without replenishing from the source is responsible. What is the solution to this?
Nigeria just need to take responsibility for these criminals. Corrupt government is doing nothing to prevent this really..
@@jacobhansen8819 Its the fault of the companies that wield more power than the Nigerian government. If they had compensated these communities this wouldn't happen. This has nothing to do with corruption thats just shifting blame. some of these oil companies are worth close or even more than the Nigerian government...
everybody is a hero in his own story
$1 million a month for security for one oil rig how do you think it's paid for by imposing taxes on every barrel of oil and the consumer pays for it
Excellent presentation. Brave journalist. The problem occurs since not engaged the employment of locals. Pirates just risk their life just for their community lively good. It is for the govt and UN should consider upliftment instead of spending so much crores on safety. Even so much spent on safety they can not prevent pirates. We pity for somalian people. All over the world since, Europeans exploit the resources of third world countries for which they have to pay the price
Rest in peace John Togo
Wow your doing a very dangerous job, good luck.
