And they say Nigeria is a poor country. It’s rich in so much minerals but the government and the leaders are corrupt

Natural resources are double edged sword. It allows for massive profits for seleceted few. You don't need very skilled workers so you can just hire whoever. This is massive prize for powerful and vicious people who can then use that money to stay in power. If you don't have natural reaources, only resource you have is people. You then have to keep them happy and more educated population will be much more aware of state of things.
There are ofc few countries that have got natural resources and do well in other fields, but they are minority and usually were already not reliant on natural resources before.
Whole africa is rich but there governments and traditions are fucking it up
Congo is the richest in Africa because of zinc lithium etc and it’s been torn to pieces
My father worked for NEPA Afam which wasn't far from Ogoniland. He used to tell me the Ogonis were discriminated against - he recommended a lady from the area as an employee, but his bosses were against his idea and hired a less qualified applicant. There was a primary school in the area, but the Ogoni kids were seperated from the others, and even had a different own uniform. As if stealing their oil wasn't enough.
*ALL THOSE COMPANY SHOULD BE JAILED FOR NOT TRAPPING ANY OIL SPILLED*
Jailed by who?
@@mattg5878 The Nigerian government, can't see it happening anytime soon though.
How do you jail a company?
Who would you arrest? Would you blame the impoverished workers?
Neil Marshall the ceo of the companies
Im super bakes i accidentally minimised the video after he finished a sentence and just stared a thumbnail thinking he was being dramatic with the long pause
😂😂😂
I think that Oil companies should pay larges spill fines if there is some kind of spillage in the area they operate... (No reason to fine oil companies that dont have oil leaks)
Cheaper to bribe the government
You think they care about that all the cared is money
i know people who work in these regions in Oil, Natural gas and such. firstly, 1 of the biggest reasons they aren't developing is because after doing all the calculations of profits the governments actually get more from just leaving it undeveloped and remaining on international aid. i have been told about how when they were called in to lay a pipeline, the company said it would be some figure, lets say $10 million, to lay the line and such and take 2 years, the government would then delay delay and try to make the company pay ALL of the cost and surrender the pipeline to them. this leads to unfinished pipelines after 5 years the companies won't work on as its literally just them paying to build government industry whilst being told they will not have any profit margin out of it, something like 30 years working on the pipeline to just make back the 10 million costs for the line or even the government saying they want to nationalise it...right after the company finishes paying and building it. secondly the greatest cause of the of these leaks in the environment as said in the clip is local people smashing into them to siphon oil for themselves and not understanding how to shut the machinery or safely do that process while the oil companies are vilified for not doing anything when they keep getting told they need to pay and maintain the pipes that the locals keep smashing to steal from. once a pipe has been smashed into the company comes in and does the 'clean up' and within a week another person smashes in and its another spill. then they are not allowed to return into the area which just exacerbates the problem as equipment is left unmaintained and still being damaged or misused . its a mixture of both sides causing the issue but people only think companies are the bad guys in this and ignore the other side. the companies cannot be everywhere at the same time or patrolling these wells. lets say its a super greedy oil company anyway, why would they want oil leaking from their wells or to have to pay for constant unneeded repairs and oil spill clean-ups, its just wasted profit so they would obviously try to avoid that. fining the companies for leaks when its other people literally vandalising their equipment would be ridiculous and immensely unfair, imagine having to pay to clean your blood off the shirt of a guy that punched you because people felt he deserved to be able to punch you, save that for when they actually do have a serious fuck up like with BP well. as i said, both sides have contributing factors, but if ANY oil with be tapped in the area the negatives of that will occur to some degree and unless the professionals are allowed to operate properly then these negatives will only be magnified. the other option is to not tap and that power lies with the government in these areas. notice how the people protested the wells in the area and the tapping of wells was stopped in the area, the company isn't going to set up nefarious secret wells, they will work like a business with a contract. the companies are just that, companies called in to do the job and service they do. just...dont look at it as the poor angelic people with the evil companies hanging over them when it is much more then that, why did the government agree, call in foreign companies to access and plan the construction, grant the contract and begin the construction of the line. they could've refused any oil taps whatsoever to begin with and the foreign oil companies would just leave it to develop where they actually can. please try to be rational and consider the actions of both sides in these matters
Well in the United States they do! I work on an oil rig and if I spill just a cup full of oil or any other chemicals, I have to clean it up right away and go tell my boss. Otherwise I get fired. Yes in the 3rd world companies this happens a lot. You won’t see this in the US.
Where's all them eco warriors now?
in your home
If the government is unwilling to help, what can they do? what can they don that won't be undone in a few months or even weeks. The issue is getting the government to give enough of a shit.
@@JackReacheround Then you get the government out.
All because of the greed in some people. Oil companies have a lot to answer for and the government is worse. Thanks for showing the world in the direction it is going.
Keep her going to the right baby!!

Don’t fall for tv adverts asking for £2 a month.
@King Killer it doesnt
Jimbo's Farm just saw one for rspca
IsItJoshua? ... they even worse.
Its the UK using their moving images and exploiting them...using the footage for their companies. So its the UK asking you for 2 pounds a month. You did not hear an African voice in the ad, did you?
I think that the oil head at 2:08 is a very creepy thing and it looks horrible.
Lidl is the best😍👍👍

This planet is far pass due, we deserve what we get.

How can one steal a free nature resource
By believing all natural resources are owned by human beings that have claimed ownership through violence, genocide, slavery and oppression. In other words it is the believe in authority that is making this possible.. As long as people believe that other people have a right to have authority over other people they will be slaves and stealing resources that actually belong to us all. That said.. Oil should not be taken out of the earth at all.. It is the Earths blood and when we pump to much out of the earth it will have serious grave consequences for ourselves as we are currently experiencing.. Nature is seriously out of balance due to our interference, Earths immune system is kicking in turning our environment that all life depends upon against us . When we keep this up then soon we will see a response from nature for instance like a caldera going off.. but man is stubborn and will not change its ways, then perhaps an asteroid will hit earth.. and man will still not change his ways so man will go extinct..
Just Human thanks for your very detailed write but it was a dumb founded statement on my part use the right eye too see then the question doesn't require a response only heart
So whats the alternative? Guy with the biggest truck can just drive up and take it all home? How am I going to drive to work? How am I going to heat my home? I can't fly to Africa and bring back enough of that oil to take care of my people. Plus, it would all be gone before I got there by the richest. My only option in that world would be to steal it. Nothing is free.
I get what you're saying but it's kind of like saying how can you steal an animal or crops from a farm.
It's not free, we'll get our share the next decades.
Gets escorted around by the corrupt police, who allow the bunkering of oil at the right price and the rest of the world just don't seem to care about this disaster..
Don’t tell the Americans
It is pity, the riches that are enjoying the honey of the oil are in the city
