These oil companies are the new imperialists... using the land of the people without regard for anybody. They use Africa like it's some goldmine that they automatically have access to. They help only themselves, then they sit back and wonder why Africa has so many problems... in some ways I can understand why these people want to put a stop to it, the government won't help them so they have to do it themselves, and violence is the only language that works when a government is full of corruption.
400 billion missing.....oil companies are the polluters but nigerian government are the ones to blame too because they let anyone to destroy their country and people
seems to me that a lot of those Pirates do things that are bad but they are done out of extream poverty ,deprivation & desperation so they cant be fully blamed
oil companies fill the pockets of the corrupt politicians and do whatever they like so basically them poor people are screwed why not become pirates? i would i mean whats better starving or piracy even this vid is piracy in a way lol
my father works for an oil company in nigeria. its not as simple as kemp portrays it as. the government is wholly corrupt... blame them before you punish the oil companies.
Corruption seems to be the main cause of the problems, if the government sorted them selves out, they have the possibility to be a very wealthy nation, take India for example, however their is still a lot of corruption there, but not on the same scale.
Are you serious India has devastating problems just because it does not mean that wealth is distributed. India has more people people living on $1 a day than anywhere else on the planet. Then look next door at Pakistan SMH.
Africa is still a young continent in terms of it's indipendence from the west, etc. We still have a lot to learn,and are no different from any of the developed countries when they were at their infancy. I can only hope that we wake up soon, and also before all our resources have been devoured by the west, without our benefit.
@XFlex9 so ignorant, it is a product of poverty from colonialism from fucked up european govts and unfair distribution of oil wealth from evil oil corporations dumbass
'Shit' the current government is, but everything needs time. Hopefully we get a president soon, who thinks of all kenyan's as equal, but it's not going to happen soon, not with the current president and his pals.
africa struggles. Its the people, they seem to be incapable of governing themselves. The governments are all rampantly corrupt and easily allow neo colonialism from the west and china. With the tourism and resources in africa the whole continent could do nicely, but the people are the problem.
@wetiot when whites pulled their money out and shut the borders leaving you niggers by yourself your population would reduce 80-90% over the 100-200 years. You cant do shit without white people. Despite we have teached u everything we know u cant help urself you wait for white man to do the job while ur over populating and when people over populate its in natures expense. Without whites you would be long gone with diseases and hunger.
It makes me sick that the world uses Africa as it's resource, the oil co's are like little kids that eat the candy bar and throw the wrapper on the ground. The oil companies don't give a crap if the people have become poisoned as well as killed off entire fishing colonies. You know what I say I don't blame the pirates one bit, oil companies let the oil gush out all over the earth for months and months. I'm disgusted and embarrassed to be part of a first World country that has no remorse!
Oh give it a rest I'm from Nigeria and no one's exploiting children in Africa. Look in South Asia. The only problem with countries in Africa is greed but in retrospect how perfect was the USA 49 years after independence. You are right as I live in England we should all do our bit to help people in the poorer continents: South America, Asia and Africa.
@raggaragga33 i see your point but remember its not only the oil companies,those fat cat politicians of nigeria and those in power have alot of explaining to do,they allow the west to use their nation as long as their pockets are full they couldnt give a shit.
@raggaragga33 : Your ponit of view is a little bit naiv. Because the wealth of our western society is based on the poverty in 3rd world. There is no we keep our wealth and they get rich too. so why you still live in the us? if your sick of it, move to africa, to be part of the 3rd world. if we would be in their position and they in ours, they would do the same with europe. so i am happy to be born on the right half of earth
@xxxwhatsupyaxxx yeah your right we dont get to chose where we are born ,
it could be anywhere in the world. What you get is what you get & if you have the fortune to be born into a 1st world nation then we need to feel fortunate very very fortunate, i know i do
@xxxwhatsupyaxxx well, i dont have a problem with us using the oil there im fine with that. but major pollution is the problem i have with it. Have you there coastal villages, its all fucked up with oil and shit. I mean like i said, western countries can take all the oil they want with PERMISSION. But once you see the damage its doing and how bad it is then a problem arises.
European countries has been fishing out their waters and dumped toxic waste outside the coast of somalia and the country doesnt have a functioning government, so people just have the choise between starving and becoming pirates and take the law in their own hands to be able to survive
Its not the oil companies problem..they dont want to spend extra money, like not any other company wants to..Its up to the government who hands out the deals to make sure they follow the GOVERNMENTS rules..Jeez. Get a grip of yourself and dont start pointing fingers before you think about it in larger scale.
@raggaragga33 Apparently you are not "embarrassed" enough to stop using that computer that required massive amounts of oil to construct and operate. Self-righteous hypocrite.
what the fuck are pirates gonna do with an oil tanker or a ship of that size, first you have to navagate it then to navagate it you need the be able to work the sonar and radio frequence, which will make a stolen ship easy to detect by the coast gard, and where do they plan on docking a ship and off loading the cargo without some suspecting something suspesious. I think ross kemp and this show are the biggest pirates here!
I just find it a bit unbelievable that common people (pirates) can hijack a massive ship and get away with it. Like you need to know what your doing to navagate a ship its not easy.
just cos their pirates doesnt mean that they dribble over themselves and fall asleep at the wheel. these people are guerillas fighting for a cause, you telling me no one agrees with what theyre doing. well people do, and they can get trained to used a sonar and radio, give them some credit, its nor rocket science.
from the bad ass gang areas of Compton tho Nigerian slums. i have to say Ross Kemp is really got balls to go to these different places and face people like he does but not only ross kemp i think his camera man deserves lots of credit cuz damnn does have a big sign over his said saying " I HAVE A CAMERA, I MIGHT WORK FOR THE COPS SHOOT ME" lol but he still goes like WOW
They probably wont touch camera men as they know they are showing the word just how bad life is there and maybe some one will see it and come to help. Just my opinion
im in the royal navy and ive spent the last 6 months on the coast of somalia fighting pirates and i think people who say that they support murderers are pathetic. how would you feel if someone came up to you in the street, took all your money and anything of value, and killed you their and then? total independance in nigeria is not going to be gain by murdering your own people!
I love these Nigerian Pirates. I am Somali so I support my African brothers who are fighting Western economic colonialism. We Africans got our political Independence in the 1960s but we are still under economic colonial occupation.
The economic point is fair but nobody should openly support murderers and kidnappers. There are better ways to achieve economic independence in Africa and the easiest way would be to replace the corrupt governments, not murder the poorest fishermen in the country. There have been enough state sponsored genocide in Africa without piracy and terrorism adding to the human cost.
another ' never our fault always someone elses' bullshit excuse.
what happens when Blacks are left to manage thier own natural resources? Cilvil war.
The problem is as a people, they are out for them selfs too much.
If you shrink it down, you see the same theme over and over again, whether its pirates, going out and taking what they want or African leaders bleeding thier country dry while the population starves. And then to top it all, its 'the white mans fault'.
dude , you are a total idiot...dont opinionize the facts .and dont use negativity of an individual or a group to sdum up the race. as hard aS it is ti believe slavery is the cause of poverty violence , your bogus stero types
They lack intelligent. After white man left, what is left of Africa? Effed up nation. South Africa and some other s are still hanging, but why? You can ask only why. Why are the nations in africa where there are only black oin power doomed??
listen africans are westen aswell eastern is somalia to japan somalian pirates and nigerian pirates are totally different somalian pirates rob rich oil ships and don't kill nigerian pirates are an army that kill peopel as well as rob
