ZEMBLA - Shell Employees Involved with Causing Oil Leaks in Nigeria

- Employees of Shell in Nigeria ordered the vandalization of oil pipelines for their own personal gain. Speaking to Zembla and the Dutch environmentalist organization Milieudefensie, multiple witnesses declared that SPDC, a subsidiary of Shell, caused the oil leaks. According to sources, Shell employees profit from these intentional oil leaks by pocketing money from cleanup budgets. From the investigation conducted by Milieudefensie and verified by Zembla, it appears that Shell’s subsidiary SPDC is aware of these accusations but has done nothing about them. The Dutch embassy had knowledge of these accusations at the time as well, but hadn’t approached the company regarding the matter.
The greatest oil disaster in the world is unfolding in the Niger Delta. Millions of liters of oil have leaked into the local environment since Shell began oil extraction there in 1958. Large areas have been transformed into a desolate moonscape where land cultivation and fishing are no longer possible. Local residents don’t know how they will continue to support themselves. The oil pollution has harmful consequences for their health as well.
According to Shell, 95% of the leaks are a result of sabotage. The oil company denies any responsibility for these. The perpetrators of these leaks are said to be local criminals and organized gangs. Now, Shell employees themselves are accused of being a part of a perverse industry of deliberate leakage. Zembla verified all of this and interviewed the sources on camera.

WHERE ARE THE NIGERIAN LAWYERS !!!!! ??? SHELL MUST PAY COMPENSATION MONEY Nigerians for ANY Shell neglect in Nigeria. No First World country would allow Shell to use this style of operation. Nigerians - WAKE UP !!! (Regards from Poland, EU).
The Persians got rid of BP in Iran specifically because of this mess. The west wanted to make most of the revenue and make a hand full of already rich people in poor countries even richer while most of the population suffers. Iranians had balls. This is what was going to happen to them.
A giant multinational concern committing crimes against humanity... Well...that's a first..... 🙈
This is a great documentary, but the title makes it unnoticeable by the algorithm. Reupload and changing the title into more of a clickbait title will help gain more traction to this documentary, which in turn will increase awareness to this topic.
It's one thing to commit crimes against humanity and the environment. It's another thing to accuse poorer nations for committing the same crimes and championing yourself as the beacon of justice and humanity. Yes I'm looking at you EU.
Ban Shell! Owja, en dat Predicaat Koninklijk lijkt me ook niet meer van toepassing..
Why not close the company then if Shell is not responding to the community's concerns.
They can't shell has too much power and too many connections to other powerful people they could easily bankrupt Nigeria if the people were to force them away.
@@legoshi8776 that's what they want us to think bro, everything can be destroyed by tomorrow, just get enough eyes on the importance of the topic. The people and families will bounce back without Shell. It's just a greedy company after all.
@@greendaypackershow can you get enough people to see things that have been covered up for years?? These videos don’t gain enough traction to gain the attention of the right people. It’s been going on for decades and I am just now seeing the depth of destruction. If the people in Nigeria tear it down, they will be massacred.
Shell pays people in the Nigerian government to look the other way and maintain the economic relations that exist as they do now. It’s multi-tiered levels of corruption
What is the purpose of oil if your people are poor?
Wacht is even heeft Nederlands koningin geen dikke aandeel in Shell 🤔
*eens, niet is
We humans sure are smart
Just one of the many ways that those who have influence and power use to stay afloat and corruptibly keep it. One day, they will tell God everything.
Yes, but til then, agents of hell spreading hell on earth. Im old, 62yo. Come on young ones. Help clean up the mess left behind our backs, all our lives. Us old people didn't have the internet. We didn't know anything except the bubble we each lived in.
@@kaintudigit1599 We'll do our part but the old ones will bear their own responsibility of humbly admitting their wrong and making effort to "right the wrong". No one can have it all and this is the work of greed.
@@chijiokeonuoha2337 thought I just did. For me. But too many my age don't. That's why I'm begging you young ones to help. I know you will. You are much more aware and have knowledge we could never get.
Shell is calling Nigerians thrives when Shell is the criminal?
there must be consequences set for Shell Corp they must make things right immediately NATO needs to step in PETA also all environmentalists corporations must step in to make sure Shell Corp does its job
Wow even God can't save humanity from the greed of human
It sucks that people violate themselves for a few bucks
Do Eurpeans ever feel their actions are wrong?
yeah ofc we do, we hate shell (coming from a dutch person)
@@dionysdumbasschannel7772 Speak for yourself.
Not all Europeans are like that. There are greedy people everywhere in this world
@@wakaikozy6084 I am glad to hear all do not. There are too many greedy people.
Luckily Shell is completely green now. They are 100% committed to green hydrogen. We already have 3 buses in the city on this hydrogen. Financed by these green guys from Shell. Sorry for my cynicism.
So there’s a big pile of money on its way, but that money isn’t used to clean anything… these people are the problem itself.
"Hard capitalism"
I must be missing something because I really dont understand why this is entirely Shell's problem. Sure, Shell staff is conducting the vandalism but these are locals who they have to work with. What does Shell gain from destroying its own pipes. Don't they lose money when they conduct clean up operations? Why arent the locals complicit in the acts bearing the bigger brunt of the blame, they are the ones destroying their own environment. Shell does have a social responsibility to the locals but they can only do that through the local government and therein lies the problem as far as I am concerned. Trust me you can kick Shell out but the next company will face the exact same problem.
Bc it’s their corporation that’s making billions of dollars a year while these people suffer from death and disease. It was their responsibly to build the pipeline underground and to clean up oil spills as they happened.
Where ever theres a spill....someone is making money...yes...Shell is correct in my opinion...it smells like sabbatorge...love the way they try to shift the blame on Shell...
So if multiple unrelated groups of people explain exactly the same illegitimate practices, your conclusion is that the (groups of) people who got interviewed separately made it up in detail. Alright.
Could you educate me as how you came to this conclusion? It's not like there is no motivation for shell to do these things.
A motivation similar to insurance fraud.
@@-ANDY. I think it's more straightforward than that and doesn't involve complex strategies. I think most of the farmers and locals are legitimately harmed by all the leaks and aren't making stuff up BUT the main culprits are local opportunists and criminal gangs tapping of oil illegally and selling it at cheap prices on the market. You have an oil pipeline of dozens to hundreds of kilometers and for many people living in poverty the temptation to tap that off and take some oil for themselves is just too great to not use. That then causes leaks and farmers and other locals suffer the most, as well as shell itself due to lost income and bad publicity.
And it's not reasonable to accuse shell of not having proper security, because you can't realistically protect hundreds of kilometers of oil pipes all at once.
???? Use brain, karen
Imagine living in an oil filled swamp and thinking "this looks like a good place to raise a child"
ze doen het zelf.
