Why would they go to the desert to fight Boko when they can make cool money from the south south and still stay alive to enjoy it?

They should give these oil refining entrepreneurs licences to operate modular refineries rather than destroy their investments. In a country were no major refineries are working, why destroy the minor ones?

OKAY

Why did you destroy what you cannot form? Huh!

How can you stole crude oil?

Men dey dey suffer police dey somewhere to poke nose....

Self employ for nigeria self done dey tire me...
Beside the pot na their pot.....

I know somebody will quote me telling they are risking their life.....but Remember na their life no be urs...

I like Govt for one thing "dey hate competition"

I have nothing to say

No fuel for my generator, and dis zombies de waste some.....

Just asking though, someone should educate me on the probable dangers of doing this:

Why can't the operators of these illegal refineries be given licenses and then heavily monitored by the government? They still make their money, the government makes its money, and Nigeria wastes less money importing refined products. On the other hand, destroying it like they usually do takes resources- resources spent on the deploying troops to hunt them down and destroy the refineries, and the resources of the refinery owners themselves after the destruction has taken place. It just seems to me that the first option would make more sense. . .

This is a welcome development because
Petrol made from Illegal refineries is illegal petrol.

Nigerian soldiers are fools.

Our refineries are not working and you destroy the functional ones because you claim they are illegal.

Isn't it ironical..you ask us to buy Nigerian to grow the Naira when locally refining crude oil is an offense.

What a zoo.

Hmmmn welcome to 9ja my country

The army keeps polluting our environment with this archaic style of fighting bunkery! For Christ sake why not seize the products and hand them over to DPR or the state government? Why spill the products on the soil? Are they now any different from those that destroy pipelines?

They are just acting tough. Those boys will pay them millions and continue production. Even nnpc buys from them. Fact!

Pollution in Rivers State is currently at epidemic levels.

Are those pieces of rubbish refineries.....do you even know what is a modular refinery

Where is the legal refinery that you are destroying illegal ones
Let's leave the illegal ones alone abeg.
Regulate them or build modular refinery that can meet our needs
The major enemy of our currency is importation of petroleum products
and no one is seeing it or talking about it.
