This present administration is doing a very good job in curbing oil theft in the Niger delta Region

That's bullshit, I'm sure if you check the communities where they get these oil, they lack basic infrastructures.

You sell and use the proceeds to enrich yourselves while the common man is left to die in poverty.

Stole which crude oil? Tifnubu has been stealing crude oil even the hyporcritical Naigeerian army high ranking officers are doing the same.


The oil belongs to the citizens not Tifnubu and his corrupt politicians.

Exactly, The oil has destroyed their lands, farms and lakes no crop will ever grow in their farmlands. I wonder what the corrupt govt. Wants them to do or how they d survive.


By the army even destroying and spilling more crude on their lands, the army are even making the situation worse.

Job well done,but the refineries should have been auctioned to licenced and legitimate entrepreneurs instead of being destroyed.. that's a waist of redeployabl resources .
Besides the operational locations of 5hese illegal refineries are so open that air surveillance with helicopters or drones could have easily dictated them earlier and shut down .
Wish these same curtailing will be deployed and used also on the other mineral resources like gold etc going on in the North. We don't concentrate all attention on oil, under minding other mineral resources of this great national with great potential

That's called empowering, emboldening and encouraging criminal actors.

The right thing is punish these ones, and encourage people with interest in local refineries to step forward, ease the licencing and regulations to absorb them into the fold, and support them with public-private-partnership or financing to help them get started.

You don't stop a crime by rewarding its perpetrators.
yes. Actually, this what I meant.

Nigeria's refinery is not working, yet individuals are refining crude

Those guys may even help revive the dead refineries grin

Destruction may not be the best way, but enlightenment and training of these guys
Don't be daft.

Nigerian refineries not working because we all insist on buying petrol at a subsidized price, lower than its cost, that kills businesses.

meanwhile these local boys steal the crude, so their cost is almost zero.

You cannot even compare the 2

No it does NOT!!

There is a cost to exploring, appraising, developing and producing crude.

These boys are only in business because they are STEALING crude that other companies have worked and spent billions for.

Crude is not FREE

Nigeria's leadership from top to bottom don't have any sense.

Why waste the crude?

Why not force them to refine it and take it and share for the poor masses instead of wasting it?

Common sense is not common.

Na Tompolo de cash out for this government pass.
Refine crude oil illegally and use ur govt-backed security outfit to victimize competitors.
He has to be the most feared person in Nigeria tbh.......no government has ever wanted to make any trouble with him, unlike that other fat noise maker with pot belly.
Tomopolo is a Machiavellian. He understands the game. He doesn't talk too much, looks very gentle and calm but very deadly as his actions speaks louder than words. That's why he's the currently the king of the creeks.

That's black mans mentality, they create more destruction in disguise.
What these boys refine in the forest is nothing compared to what those mega ships steal per day.

Re: Troops Destroy 15 Illegal Refineries, Recover 115,000 Litres Of Stolen Crude by Dbeliever(m): 3:10pm On Oct 07, 2024
These guys are more important to me compared to the federal government who can not refine anything at all. At least if the government can not refine crude oil in their refineries, is it not better to proliferate the establishment of refineries by given licenses and financial support to those who can do ithuh?? Nigeria, a zoo.
I say it!! Or nan soo yo nan va.
Re: Troops Destroy 15 Illegal Refineries, Recover 115,000 Litres Of Stolen Crude by Nyanabo2: 3:25pm On Oct 07, 2024
If they can declared 115k worth of stolen crude, just know it’s more that that. It’s must be up to 400k. You want to ask where the balance went to ? No worries we all know where it went to but to scared to talk.

How has the country been since the last 20 years? Nothing has changed rather it got worse, if you want changes start from the top.

Nigeeria is a corrupt country, as long as the leaders are corrupt the citizens would not be any different.

Business on which our West Africa neighbours depend. When these days end, these places in Nigeria will be in ruin environmentally while neighbouring nations survive on thire monetised pristine environment.
