To an extent I support these boys. Government couldn't send them to school or give them job. So they must survive

Is it Government that sent their parents to give birth to them

If the government and stakeholders had done the needful from the on set. Issues of unemployment would have been resolved.

How many social amenities, government industries are their in various part of the state where the citizens will be engaged.

The system made the youths believed it through this illegal mining they can survive. They may have witnessed their peers used to work on the sites and the lifestyles they began to live.

Every state governors should build manufacturing and production industries in their state rather wasting resources on construction of overhead bridges where not necessarily.

The audacity

If this country was working fine, things like this won't happen.

Pardon my ignorance, but who will pay these so-called illegal miners, who are their employers, and who buys their minerals?

These people don't even understand the meaning of ILLEGAL MINING.
I am a YORUBA MAN RESIDE IN PORT HARCOURT. One of my closest friends was arrested in his community Ahoada (EKPEYE) over a Year now because of bunkering business till date he is still in the custody. The family have spent money for him to regain freedom no Way. It's high time we understand that these boys should learn hand work. That one they are doing is not hand work. They want Sharp Sharp Money.

It's illegal only when miscreants are doing the mining. But when bandits and alahjis are doing the mining, govt will look the other way.

Na gun and blood suppose reset this country. The open insult to our faces is unbecoming

Something must kill a man

The north sees the mineral resources in their areas as their personal properties, but the oil in the south must be shared to all.

Make it well know that the SOUTH u meant doesn't include anywhere in Yoruba land .
Thank you for ur attention to this matter

Are you saying that there is no oil or mineral resources in Yorubaland? Stop open display of crass ignorance. At least, you could have asked Google if you are unlearned.

If you are poor, it's your fault. If everyone around you is also poor, It's government fault.

it's the government fault that you and everyone around you is breeding like rats knowing you are poor but you just want to breed.

During Goodluck Jonathan and Buhari time as presidents, they did not only arrest and jailed the Oil Bunkers in my community but killeddd a lot of them.
The bunkering sites (mini refineries) were often bombarded by the Air Force Jets.
Navy rolled out warships as if they were fighting war with Iran.Destroying and kpai-ing a lot of our youths without any national media carrying it.

But now,listen to illegal Gold Miners saying he has been in the business for the past 15 years.That period covers both Goodluck Jonathan and Buhari era,but they didn't arrest,detain,or kpai any of them in the North but they were busy deploying every military arsenals to deal with those doing the same thing in the Nigeria Delta.
Can you now see the hypocrisy and sectional implementation of government laws in this country by those two men?
The one I really blame most among the 2 is that one they called Jonathan.
A son of the Niger Delta doing that type of atrocities to his people while leaving the Northerners to control and enjoy their God given resources free of charge.
Why didn't Buhari did the same to the miners in the North while leaving the those in the south?
You see how northern leaders will always be wiser than their counterparts in the south?

Soldier go soldier come 💪

if I'm a eugenicist, you should breed like rats and bring kids you cannot take care of to the world then blame the government for not helping you. Are you the only one that likes to f7ck? You think other people don't enjoy sex too? Being a responsible human being starts by not putting yourself and everyone else in a situation where they have to take care of your problems when it can be easily avoided. When they were building their lives you were fuckin🙄
