- Across delta swamps, oil thieves refine billions of dollars of stolen oil in makeshift operations resulting in frequent oil spills.
Nigerian airlines suspend plans to ground local flights over cost of jet fuel
Nigerian airlines have suspended plans to ground all local flights due to the soaring cost of jet fuel just hours before the move was due to take effect, the airline operators association said on Sunday.
The Airline Operators of Nigeria has been under pressure from the government, consumer protection bodies and customers to shelve the planned shut down since it was announced on Friday.
Airlines are complaining about paying for jet fuel upfront in cash at 700 naira ($1.69) per liter, a price that has more than doubled this year, partly as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, increasing their operating costs by around 95%.
Dollar shortages in Nigeria and a weaker local currency have worsened the woes for the sector, which also faces the country-wide challenges stemming from double-digit inflation, slow growth and mounting unemployment and insecurity.

I am a petroleum engineer from Nigeria. I can confirm to you that 12yrs after this video: nothing has changed.
I don't agree, things are worse now
The USA and other countries who export oil , should give back to NIGERIA somehow.
1. Pay for oil spill clean up and revegetation of areas affected. Just like they do here in USA after any type of spill or in the ocean.
2. A Fund directed for clean water headed by a trustworthy group.
3. Electric for the people in remote areas. Many taxi out to charge their gadgets or flashlights etc.
4. Teach people how to grow community gardens and become self sufficient.
I have been to Nigeria and in the villages. Lack of employment is high due to not having any type of industrial plants. Other countries have been TAKING EVERYTHING THEY CAN from the Nigerian region and from the African People in all of this continent. Destroying such a beautiful country’s scenery, creatures, habitats… etc.
When will the TAKERS give the NIGERIAN/AFRICAN PEOPLE something in return!!! They are hungry for work, their families are hungry for food. Why should they beg for things that should be paid for by the people who are depleting all of their resources for hundreds of years.

@@stactionsmedia3318 that's it
It is extremely arrogant for you to address their right to their own resources as illegal. This is their oil and I am glad they are working out to get their fair share. It is unfortunate that these oil rich towns have been neglected at the expense of corrupt politicians and neocolonial industries. Forward Ever. Africa Will Unite.
It is legal when they rob it but illegal when Nigerians use their own Natural resources .
Bro, you are wise
Facts! The thief accusing the owner of theft. With all of the oil in Nigeria there should be no poverty. The problem is, these corrupt leaders who fatten their own pockets and do nothing for the people. Not only in Nigeria, but around the world. Power to the people!✊🏾
I couldn't have said it better.
It’s not like it isn’t all fucked though. There shouldn’t be oil industries that oppress people and their shouldn’t be these dudes polluting in the crudest way possible. Idk how you can say your happy for this but I understand your point. I’d be with you if what they were doing wasn’t in fact incredibly dangerous as well as stupid. It’s shitty all round. But I agree that the guy in the suit is just as much to blame as the dudes that are literally exploding left and right.
With sensible guys in government, these should have morphed into modular refineries. It’s daft to criminalise these guys’ ingenuity. Standard Oil in the US that became a behemoth that had to be split into different companies had its crude early beginnings. Nigerian government should be receiving lectures from these guys on how to make it better.
Not at all, Nigerians don't give a shit about investment in technology, they are like Nigerian technology is not dependable, even those who graduate from universites, they have to either pretend to be of foreign origin in order to gain acceptance, so the chances of GOVERNMENT asking these people to TEACH, naaa the philosophy here is far too primitive to even reason in that direction and I mean even educated people who have even acquired PhD. For Nigerians, if it's a Nigerian and it's not Entertainment then it's bullshit, they're like "This stuff is not durable because a Nigerian made it" coming from a fellow Nigerian too. It's pathetic though, much reason so many Nigerians travel out.
This was 11 years ago. Now Aliko dangote, the Africa's richest man have build a huge refinery.
@@shohaim modular refineries can co exist with Dangote’s.
@@Stratocaster01 the Nigerian government doesn't want competition in the crude oil refinery, that's why they do not want modular refinery to operate.
If they don't do this, there are no jobs and there kids can't go to school. When you see someone doing incredibly dangerous work, that means they're desperate. This whole video wants to talk about theft and pollution but nothing...nothing...about the people doing it. The guy said "illegally stolen" because they're stealing it back from oil companies who have stolen it from them. One theft was legalized and one is not.
I can tell you if germans got 6 kids each for 200 years and their country had 1 billion people there would also be suffering, the africans create their own suffering.
and yet Africa is underpopulated so that argument can't fly. The population of China is larger than the entire African continent.
Stop with the hate
Who makes kids if they can't feed them?
Very true
These guys churn out diesel oil and petrol with near perfect octane numbers. You can't hate that
Wow. Somehow impressive
If diesel is so easy to make then explain why they charge so much for it at the gas pump
@@thecloneguyz I didn't say it's so easy to make. Of course it's a tedious and risky process especially under those terrible conditions. But they manage to make diesel oil of very high quality. Some international correspondents actually checked out their products and after testing some samples, they found out that their products hit the sweet spot in octane numbers.
Mind you, this is in Nigeria, one of the largest producers of crude oil in the world and there is NO functioning refinery in the country for many years now. I know this for sure; I'm Nigerian.
@@uduakjimmy5162 I'm agreeing with you that it's actually really easy to make so it doesn't make any excuse why diesel prices are so high when it's the easiest and dirtiest fuel to make
@@thecloneguyz An easy dirty fuel should be more expensive. Higher carbon taxes on higher polluting items is the way our gov has chosen to progressively make the environment greener
who is doing the stealing? the locals or Shell?
Both.
Primarily the shell steal for big profits. The local steal because they are hungry.
The people that drives car.
@@beezava8320 Are you some kind of communist?
@@beezava8320 Locals steal because that's the game they were handed. When you've been stolen from and the game has been rigged, only solution is to take it back by force.
All I see here is opportunity, these guys could be private oil refiners this is a business opportunity.
welp no one wants them because of the imperial nato.
@@haitham1553 nato literally has nothing to do with it
A government that have refused or neglected to repair the national oil refineries will do everything to frustrate private refiners.
And limit corporate power over the oil industry and there for all of us. Nope, oil companies and their wealthy investors that work in government won't let that happen.
They love have control over oil and us. Competition would limit that.
When a black man is doing something to earn a living it is called illegal but when you the guys do it it's legal . The Government must go to this guys and learn their ways of doing it and prove on it .
Funny
Yes
The question is if your in the Government will you?
We sag things that we ourselves won't. I know you gon' say you will but I swear to God when you find yourself there you won't. But just deceive yourself that you will.
@@mohammedaliyu1437 you don’t make any sense. You should delve into the root of the problem in which the Nigerian government is clearly at fault.
They are fishermen by trade then you come refine oil on their land and spill oil into the rivers destroying their source of income and refused to clean up the spill . What compensation has the government given to these people. If the government was giving back to its citizens then there won’t be issues of feeling cheated. Economically the illiterate incompetent general called Buhari has sank the country to its knees
Any sensible government would have resolved the issue but since a lot of northern businessmen owns these oil wells on paper these guys will rather die than give it up
@@mohammedaliyu1437 and yes I will help them set up a modular refinery which they’ll have to payback taxes. If they can see the quality of projects that are being done with their taxes there will be a huge sense of calm and trust. That’s who a President is, a leader and not a dictator
Do you know the millions Nigeria will save in exportation? Fuel will even be cheaper than it will ever
From Canada with Hava. Since these young men knows what they are doing to refine their natural resources. Furthermore, they are willing to risk their lives for this. Why not kick the useless old men out of the offices?
Kick them out? Why don't you then.
You want them to kick them out while your home watching TV/TH-cam coz your life is not at risk right?
It's like our politicians using thugs while they sit home & fly outside countries with their children.
There's no cooperation and that's a fact. You don't have the right to tell them to go kick them out while you don't get involves by loving yourself which is selfishness.
What do you mean by "stolen" oil?
is it the owner of the land or the government that is the theif?
Thank you!
@@Traewing But what I asked was a question, and I want an answer, not a compliment
i don't see why this is illegal it is like digging for gold if you find it it is yours it is just greedy companys thinking everything is theirs.
It is stolen from company wells, probably approved by corrupt officials.
@@leerman22 foreign companies that these people didn't want in there country but came anyway taking there oil
@@mrpepperonipizza3287 That's what I said. By right of contract the companies were probably invited.
Its theres because they can refine it without destroying the world around them.
That's a strange way of looking at it, and wrong. It's more like breaking into someone's bank account and taking their money. Then saying "well i got into it, so i get to have as much of it as i want".
Nigeria should use these guys as example and take charge of their own oil and not letting the west control it
The leaders of Nigeria don't care about their people because the oil companies keep their pockets nice and full.
Maybe China will hook them up. If not just to give the West a black eye.

Which certificate ? Forget any inspection

Nigeria is indeed a paradox of poverty amidst plenty. We are richly blessed with crude oil but our government and wealthy citizens have failed to invest in the oil refining business within the country.
We export crude oil at a fixed rate and import the components at a flexible rate thereby reducing the value of our currency and making refined products difficult to buy.
Instead of educating youths who are refining within the country and building capacity to refine our crude oil, the government prefer to have them arrested and tag them as criminals while they deliberately ensure our refineries don't work just so they can import refined components into the country and make proceeds at the expense of it's citizens.
no wonder poverty in white countrys sleeping in bushes get welfare 🧐🤨
Capitalism is broken
Instead of come of poverty in western countrys build own countrys like Saudis tribe like Dubie like Qatar build own countrys
African the high poverty in the world they're over poplation & poverty & high welfare rafuggies in western country's

@@Goddess636 They are vampires. If we can have good governance in this this country, only then Nigerians can realise how wealthy and blessed we are as a nation. We have been having politicians as against leaders.

Nigeria continues to impress me with their hand build development, first thing it's helicopters and bq, next thing you know oil refineries
Well said 🤘
A shame they can't weld
😂😂😂😂😂
It's dangerous
Helicopter? Video Link ?
The story has always been the same. The government can create modular refineries for these guys and provide necessary trainings.
I see that as a win-win situation.
The West won't allow it to happen.
That's why they have bases all over Africa to control all the resources.
Facts👍👍
Well they're not stealing it. (The "criminals") it's under THEIR FEET
I have nothing against these DIY refineries but be a little neater and make less mess with it. have fun and be careful!
This doesnt look kyoto approved
Nigeria I'm proud of you guys . None of these guys care about your safety its just they dont like that you are smart and they paying people to cause problems. I'm your brother from Somalia keep going .
TH-cam recommending this video after the recent explosion in the Niger Delta
This year, April 2022, 100 Nigerians were burned beyond recognition. This video was made 11 years ago! Nigeria is broken
I was just looking for the Nigerian extraction trailer...
if shell would simply set up training centers and employ these people.... this documentary never would have been made and these people's lives would be infinitely better.
Nigerians own shell? 🤔
Believe me they will be getting peanuts if that occurs.I support them. If anyone wants to help, let him buy better machines and leave them alone.
We don’t need shell we have smart people that can update this system
This is a legacy of the war in Biafra. If Nigeria had let Biafra go, this problem might never have arisen.
Lol.
Biafra doesn't exist.
Even as of today 7th may 2022... nothing has changed... It's even worse than it was 11yrs ago...
This is what Area boys mean by I work in an oil company🤣

@@souravmahanty7025 diesel has a high ignition temperature but it will easily burn in a fire
@@britishentertainment7610 cool. The more you know.
I keep thinking how we loose refinerys to fire and wonder if they call us illegal. I get that big industries need to protect there market but picking on people who can't afford to buy your product when they can make their own is wrong at best
It about time citizens start talking back what belongs to them. Only if they can do it safely though
Haha oil companies talking about stealing... what hypocrisy.

Diesel doesn't burn in contact with a naked flame, despite what the reporter likes to think.
+realitycheck623 Yeah exactly, diesel doesn't burn like gasoline.
+realitycheck623 I does when it's hot enough (about 52degC). Also the evaporated diesel is highly flammable.
Diesel vapors from the naked flame would be highly flammable. Also if you get the diesel hot enough (~500F) it will auto ignite in the presence of oxygen.
People trying to find a niche in the free market, whats the big deal?
I am from Africa I wasn't born there I was born in America so i'm glad I was here because Afrcia seems harsh no offense to Nigeria they are great dancers
I am from Europe and i live Europe. But i think maybe African people live better than Africans who borned in America.

I'm standing off and waching the world surviving off Africa, while Africans in Africa barely surviving,, 12 years ago and to see this still happening in 2022 it's sad!! This will only change when africans realize how rich and fruitful the land is, you really don't need some of these bigheads just get the all out
"i cannot count"
Guy: don’t give my name, mate.
CNN: what about your face on tv?
I am here bcoz of the recent explosion!
Why after 11 years this video is now recommended to everyone?
If the West is so concerned, why not send them better oil refining equipment or help them build it?
They’re stealing it from pipelines. That’s why the west is concerned
Nice hustle it's their resources at and the of day
This is what happens when corruption is rampant !!!
Nice. This is the right to work
If big companies think about this people they want smuggle oil ....
Poor Shell!!! ;D
Why can’t Africa advance such kind of brains to construct cheap and easy refinary systems honestly
He clearly likes it!
I wish they can use a pressurized spray nozzle and fuel from a tank far a bit connected by a pipe, this will reduce the fire accidents.
Eleven years gone and the only thing which has changed is those men likely died from a petrol explosion.
WTF!. What happened to the old empires, just to end up refining oil illegally
ALgorithim reminding us things haven't changed in 10 years.

Why suddenly after a decade this is in my recommendation
These dudes need to be working in real legal oil refineries or Oil Wells ,
They have proven enough of courage and determination.
Someone give them a life.
They would be working for pennies an hour, its more dangerous but at least they can make a fair wage on their own, and it wouldn't be much safer working for a legal refinery where they are at.
Omg...people are so desperate and smart the same time...risking their life
They need to improve it a little bit
Lol 😹 😹 western style. Shell is the first thing comes in my mind when we talk about stealing
O no shell can't tax these guys for using there own oil o no.
Nigeria is crippled since the gov of rivers state started fighting these oil refiners.now diesel is not affordable in Nigeria 900 per litre.companies,hotels and private diesel generators owners cannot afford
Thats not thefty as the main thieves on media clain its the resource owners forging a living be blessed Nigerians for tgeir resilience
Also check out Africa's lithium and cobalt mines. To those who dont know the reality behind battery power and how completely unsustainable it is.
What do you mean by illegally stolen? Can stealing be legal?
Refiners what a talent😅
The stone ages would be an improvement to these people. Nothing has changed there in a 1,000 years!
Can’t blame them
This one na old model naa
