wise_many2k: This is no breaking news! I've been to some illegal refineries before....especially last 2yrs! The truth is that any pipeline professional will tell u dat there is no way that the IOC's ain't aware of their pipeline have been tampered with. The pipelines all have flow meters dat measure the volume of fluid passing through it. When d pipeline carrying gas from NAOC to my office got punctured by vandals (they obviously tot it was carrying crude oil or condensate), my company detected it immediately cos of the reduced flow of gas and notified NAOC which dey promptly fixed. My friend's cousin dat is into d illegal refinery business says that the guys in their control room dat monitor flow of products through the pipeline come to collect their own share of d loot and i also heard that some men of JTF in those regions collect security fee so dat d criminals can carry out their illegal business.

This illegal business is just as a result of corruption.

McAdem:
very disgraceful,a whole state making such error no proofreading before posting it,no wonder the president has PHD

slim fit :


These once are better than their counterpart in Abuja at list they still Laboured to survive.

ola_pluto: This is hardcore chemical processing. Elf and safety thrown out of the window. It should never be like this. Shame on our leaders. Shame on the man from Otueke who has refused to help his own people.

naijaking1: This is a natural reaction to stealing people's resources, pipping it overhead them to say Kaduna or Lagos while the locals wallow in abject pernury. My heart bleeds for these communities that clean and clear drinking water shalt never know. Illegal refinaries will never disappear even if GEJ goes, because now the people know.
Caution: people should not expose themselves to too much crude oil, because it causes cancer!!

KINGwax: Keep sayin ppl stael their resources wen they collect larger share of the allocation. All we knw is that their governors who are supposed to spread the dividens to the grassroot are busy enrichin themselves and these hypocritical idiotic locals only ignore this and focus their dead brains on lagos and other states who collect less allocation and build on industries.

Sometimes i wonder if wot they really want by shouting,'d oils is ours' is to sit thier infested asss in one place and expect alerts from the banks!

It aint a surprise dt their wiltered idle hands became the devil's workshop and they pride themselves as leaders in kidnappin and other agaped-type of criminal activities in the name of being cheated.

I got three words for u:
FUCCK YOU ALL.

Somebody shld throw u a grenade. Is oil really the only thing u can think of?

tha_originator: What do you expect from the kinsmen of a clueless president that doesn't give a damn!? BTW, who's that guy with a cowboy hat on?

imperiouxx: In fact, how do stealing crude oil RUBS the nation of income? Na wa oooo beefing no even let dem no wetin them dey say again.

LastApostle: These guys have and operate an oil well yet they don't look like Otedola,Adenuga and Tinubu. What the fucckk are they doing there upon the fact that they never get to pay royalties to the government?

Even in the face of oil, I still see and perceive poverty around them.

DigitalSignal:
I expect from them to do what they are doing! After all, the oil is just at their backyard so why would they sit idle only for it to be tapped through their noses for the enrichment of others? By the way, you must be a child!

tha_originator: you're the biggest fool I've ever came across on NL! What about the huge allocation that be goin to they state thru their govt. Agbaya! You must be an old fool!!!

Forty-year-old Goodluck, who shares his name and tribe with the president, says he would much rather have got a respectable job, except that, despite the billions of petrodollars coursing through the region's creeks over decades, there aren't any.

"This refinery is the only thing I know that can ensure my survival, at least for now," he told Reuters, sitting under a small makeshift iron roof shelter from the boiling sun, his hands sticky with crude.

"Doing this you can make up to $60 in a day," he said, gesturing with a nod towards oil drums full of homemade diesel shaded by smoked-blackened palm trees.

Most of the stolen crude is shipped offshore, with the remaining 10 percent refined locally. There is plenty of demand for the diesel, kerosene and gasoline Goodluck makes by boiling up stolen crude in a steel drum over a wood fire.
