Nigeria's military has launched a crackdown on oil gangs in an attempt to avert an oil supply crisis.

The country loses on average 650,000 barrels a day because of attacks on pipelines.

Haru Mutasa had exclusive access to the military's operations in the Niger Delta, where the theft of crude oil is rampant.

  • Shit those poor nigers are eventually going to hurt themselves with those weapons and the oil.

    It would be a humanitarian effort to take both away from them and instead give them Nerf (tm) water-pistols and Fisher-Price toy-mining tools. Made of rubber so unless they swallow them ... they'll be safe.

    And I say: Coca Cola for Oil, fair 1:1. These people like sugar better than oil, keeps them tranquil and happy.

  • goldenismonica, you have to read up about Nigeria to understand the background and forces that are shaping events in it. You may do that in Wikipedia for a start. The greatest force shaping events in Nigeria is ethnicity, followed by Religion, then resources, colonisation, greed, ignorance etc.

  • @chuba6785 watch?v=eqLtVmnsfmc& <----watch this === Aljazeeraenglishtv has hidden agenda's, I have noticed how adamant they are on only reporting the negative sides of Nigeria. But hey these corrupt people need a taste of Karma's wraft. The pharmaceutical companies stoping fumigation efforts of mosquitoes causing malari, the deadliest killer ever. Just to not lose money in ppl buying medicines. The generator importers holding Nigerians hostage from having 24hr electricity. plz !!

  • Fact: Hausa-fulani and Yoruba oligarchs ruled & mismanaged Nigeria for over 40 yrs, looted over $400 billion dollars from resources of Niger Delta Eastern Region Biafra & Mid-Western nationalities, rigged all elections, refused a Sovereign National Conference, subverted justice, promoted criminality of sorts across the geospace Nigeria and abused "Nigerians". The problem of the Niger delta is not a development problem; It is a JUSTICE problem. The people need and demand their FREEDOM back

  • @fenriz218 besides they dont even really know what to do with the oil... they just know we want it.

  • Nigeria never seem to take care of it's people. Revolution, revolution it never ends.

  • Their oil
