When the poor man steals he is called thief but when the rich man steals its called embezzlement. I'm not a thief, I am a business man.

Am not thief am a business man ,legendary talk

Nigerias problems are not even difficult we just have stubborn and wicked people in power

I fell in love with Peter obi when he talked about working with these illegal bunkers to make it legal and empower them. Only a wise leader thinks outside the box

I’m not thieving, I’m a business man 😂 This guy get A1

This guys just made a very wonderful sense. We import kerosene, petrol and diesel but this guys are producing it locally. Why not create local refining facilities in almost all those areas, give them crude to refine and pay the federal government. The form a union to make sure only fuel produced in Nigeria are sold to Nigerians.

If Nigeria is not a scam, why will the gold in Zamfara belongs to the locals and the crude oil in Niger delta will belong to Nigeria? Niger delta youths, my advice to you people is to fight for your right. Never give up.

This is such a shame! My family is from the north, kano to be exact, and its just a shame that our country is so rich but so many people are poor. I see alot of people who speak of the northerners like we are all rich but in fact only a handful have money, the majority are poor just lile the southeast. The government are crooks wallahi whether its buhari, atiku, goodluck John. Or whoever, the whole government needs to be reformed and cleared of snakes. I have been living in dubai for 2 years, and what these people have built as a nation in 50years is remarkable and the UAE isn't as half as rich as nigeria. Seriously what are we doing, its madness! We need young energetic, creative minds from all ethnic groups to build a better nigeria. Forget about your ethnicity your NiGERIAN first, one body one mind! It just doesn't make sense that a country is in a state like this. It's 2022 and are brothers are in the bush extracting oil with there bare hands WTF is going on... 2022 and we still have this bullshit boko haram coming in and out of our country stealing and killing people. 2022 and we still dont have stable electricity, hospitals, schools, a functional system that can be trusted by ALL people. These leaders are weak, selfish, and have no ambition. Nigeria needs to completely rebrand itself. This has to stop!

It is our oil & our money, i support you guys my brothers. Proudly Niger-Deltan

Arise News has taken over. best station of the year!

This guys are actually right in what they are saying ❤❤

I am with the ARTISANAL REFINERS...until the Labour Party takes over!!!

Every statement of these young intelligent young men is revealing and indicting the government, the real cause and supporter of criminality in Nigeria.

All these are coming out because PETER OBI mentioned it and stated categorically clear that he would engage them and legalize their art. God is wonderful or perhaps these guys must have heard what Peter Obi said about their trade before now.

There is nothing like illegal refinaries. I have told them to bring these people together and improve their refining system .

Feel the pain in their voices... stand strong, brothers

"I am not a thief, I'm a businessman" 😂😂

Land filled with milk and honey, evil politicians want to take it from us. What a wicked country 😳......I love ❤ it guys keep up the good work. 👍

You guys are doing good work and no body will harm both of you

Brothers, make una no stop o ! Anybody wey fit, continue 2 collect d oil. Na our own. Take am. Saki Ofori eh ! No time !

This is so revealing, I hope the Nigeria government won't come after Arise TV. For these braveouse documentary that as just been shown to the world. How brilliant and talented Niger Delta youths make their ends meet, it's so unfortunate! 😞

Empower these boys and put an end to fraudulent oil subsidy.

It’s really true that the black man is capable of managing his own affairs, this shows we can do it, we must do it and it can be done ✅

I don't know what to say, I just hope and pray for obi to come in power

I want to make my own refinery at home...in KZfaq you find how to make anything...they motivate us

This people should be supported, because they are exceptionally wise and innovative..Peter Obi I really appreciate your talks on this..

The journalist is doing a great job, thumbs up for him

Oveitime George is an Award winning Journalist...appreciate that you put your life on the line to bring the story... you have to be careful... so that the lazy law enforcement in Nigeria don't come after you.

I support you my brothers in Nigeria you are more than 100 percent right. Keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

This video made me feel so emotional and I don't even know why🥺🥺

This is real commendable journalism. Kudos to Mr. George and the Arise team..

This is wonderful guys i like your boldness

Hail Mary full of grace the lord is with thee, Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus, Holy Mary Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

These are brilliant guys.... The federal government should cooperate with them, make the business sophisticated.... let them pay tax and royalties. More jobs and social cooperate responsibility could come from this.

The word "artisanal" makes it legal, since zamfara have artisanal miners

This are talented people.very skilful

Great journalism... Nigeria refinery is comatose for years yet this 'artisans' can refine locally, why not employ these guys to revitalise the moribund refineries.

This was what Peter Obi said sometime ago. He said he will organise them and legalized their activities so they can pay tax to the federal government

I love them guys, they are doing wonderfully well

Wonderful and creative innovation for petroleum refinery which can be utilised by bringing these bunkerers together and impowering to create mobile module refineries across the country.

I am a chemical engr, I did my IT in warri refinery. The technology here is quite impressive compare to some other fabricated ones, I think they spent a lot of money to build this. But My only concern is the adverse effects on the environment as well as the health and safety of the workers here, I don't really care about what the government say about them because I believe one can not steal what belong to him. #The metals used here can easily ignite fire and the heating process can be improved on#

It’s their property pls and pls 💪💪💪💪

When the poor take little ,they call it thief ,and when the rich people thief ,they call it embezzlement. 😭😭😭

Creative Viva Africa bright brains, big up ...I really see their side... African leaders should share wealth or else this is the future...

These guys are really making good things happening. Isaac Boro of Delta sought to have Republic of Niger Delta some very long decades of years ago all because they were oppressed and marginalized.Whereas the Mega dollar oil boom in Nigeria started from Niger Delta. Up till now, they are not reckoned with accordingly.Let us leave these people in their Oil business.The Government should empower them to improve on their Local refineries

Je suis très émerveillé par l'esprit de créativité de ces grands savants ;le calcul est très simple :la CEDEAO et la BAD doivent prendre ces grands savants en charge ils vont créer demain une académie de pétrole unique en Afrique bravo, bravo au jeune homme qui a défendu cette cause et reporteur

I love the good work Arise tv is doing. Its not easy entering this place without being suspected to be a security agent. This man is bold. I love what the guy said, let government legalise what they are doing, let them pay tax. After all, Gov. Commissioned Tompolo as pipeline security agent and is paying heavily for it.

I loved that guy college, I am not a thief am a business man, which is right truths for them to understand, those people who is digging out golds from northern sides of the country what are they called? A very good question too.. they're not afraid to die anymore

Nigeria, I've always said, is an animal farm. If we've guys like this but can't refine our oil bcos some ppl out there would benefits from exporting d crudeoil & import d refine portion. Kudos to u guyz

Thank you obidatti your moveeee is revealing alot and we could see clearly. You see anyone who is pdp or apc die heart. Is a criminal. Our mumu suppose don do tete. Let us all move in numbers to change dis County b4 is too late. Obidatti for president 🙌

Great journalism rite here Weldone Arise News

You are a true business man my brother

100 % I agreed ... We're not thieves because we the poor people we are also earning for our daily basis to survive ...

I commend Arise TV for highlighting this

I am a Nigerian from Nasarawa state, these guys processing crude oil are NOT thieves, the thieves are the APC, and PDP national leaders... conniving with the armed forces.

I love when he made reference of how gold is being mine in Nasarrawa nd never a national cake but state affair...Oil state owners should wise up and take what rightfully belongs to them...Enough is enough after all oil is reason nigeria is still together...

My brother, I'm so proud of you young man brothers thanks for your good job.

Welldone guys Nija Delta oil 4 all Northern Gold 4 the North Ndi ara

PLEASE LET’S VOTE FOR PETER OBI TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF SO MANY NIGERIANS… 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I AM OBIDIENT

I respect this journalist alot, and as for Nigeria government una mumu no too much ....how can we import when we have resources.

Well said .."to give me a job that you will not pay me"

Ovietimi, thank you for going this length is bringing this to the forefront for many eyes to see. Thank you AriseTv for airing this. These guys are talented. If you are from the Niger Delta you will think otherwise You want to talk about oil theft? Travel by the gulf of guinea, and you will not blame these boys based on what they see on daily basis. From Bunga and Agbami Oil fields ask what goes on there. Give these guys license and train them to do it right not to mess up the environment. Federal government cannot work out refinaries and these guys can produce refinaries in a few days, what a talent.

The federal government should issue mining licences to this skilful people and monitor them. Thats all. And they can also contribute to the growth of our economy GDP if they are properly control.

When the time comes u will rise and fight for ur self,,,,

This people are innocent and hard working

This man get heart ooo.see the kind of people you are meeting for an interview

I concur with you my brother's is your source

Defend your resources, it's yours

Great journalism, Kudos to Oveitime George and Arise news. Pls we need part Two of this great movie the bunkering in yatchs vessels and super tankers the untouchables. But be careful bro , Dele Giwa was killed on my birthday l still mourn him.

God bless you for this video

Quite expository documentary. They are not novice in this venture. You can see that these guys are graduates with some kind of knowledge into the refining process. Why has it been so difficult for the government to empower and incorporate them with cooperatives of modular refineries so they can be authentic, legal, and pay tax and therefore eliminate/reduce the oil theft been complained? It is a clueless government. They even said it that they are ready to pay tax. Why has this government not made any effort to improve their knowledge and capacity towards providing this service in refined, legalized way? Very salient is the point they made about Kerosene. It is apparently clear that most of the kerosene we see in the market are refined here, because government and NNPC have shown abysmal incapacity to provide kerosene for Nigerians. Rather this government only specializes in destroying and killing without achieving any prosperity for Nigerians. And you see what Peter OBI has been talking about creating jobs by engaging everyone who has something to contribute to Nigeria state. It takes ingenuity to create jobs in modern society and that is why Obi-Datti presidential ticket is special, different and offers brighter future for Nigeria and Nigerians. Vote wisely, Vote #OBI-DATTI come 2023.

Thanks arise for this coverage.

I am of the opinion that these guys be registered/regulated and given safety standards to meet while processing these products. It's shame that the diesel and kero we use are bunkered.

These guys are doing great things and only need to be prepared legally for the business. We need to fight the external forces stealing our wealth. Government can partner with them and also get returns (in form of tax).

This men NEED to be encourage and help from our continents. If we as Africans knows the impect this people can make in our society they'll be encourage for the ideas they have for doing this refinery.

Well said there's no amount of josb the federal government will offer him that can meet up with its ends means. I really love this guyz

Was once doing this job before army men came and destroy our camp 😪 please can I get to this man 🙏🏻 I love this job so much 🥺

THE GOVERNMENT SHALL GRANT THEM, A SENSE OF BELONGING. THEY ARE SKILLFUL AND TALENTED NIGERIAN YOUTHS.

I feel their pain 😭 how I wish the government could do something

Law and engineering graduate refining in the crudest of ways, if the leaders were true to themselves they would empower them with resources needed to produce legally with all safety measures in place

This an intelligent guy; The gold in Zamfara state belongs to Zamfara state but the Oil in Niger Delta belongs to Nigeria; That's the type of country we find ourselves in; Extreme marginalisation, Segregation and tribal and religious extremism.

You are very right my brother

I like these guys "i am a business man"

Arise news, thank you for this one

I am from Niger Delta but currently in another man country while ,I come from a place where there is real money ,God punish those wicked leaders

Arise News thank you guys, now I know channel new is part of our problem in Nigeria. Channel news will turn off their comment so people don't talk about how they feel after watching news

There is no responsible Government in Nigeria. The Federal Government of Nigeria is grossly irresponsible.

Gvt should just legalized this people and provide them modern equipment for refining. Even our cost of leaving wont much

Arise IS SUPER !!!! Ovie weldone

This is why we have to vote wisely this time. We are suffering we need a legible leader let us not allow this opportunity to pass us.

It's our national cake. So go ahead and take your share.

Which of the job do you want to give me that you won’t later pay me, I am not a thief I am a businessman 😊

That's why we need a president like Mr Obi who can dialogue and reason with these young men eventually finding a balance btwn both parties. Dialogue is the only way.

This video touched me... I wish Govt would listen to stop SOME of their request

Excellent documentary.

I feel like crying oh God what is happening? Nigeria.

Ovieteme gorge tvc news bayelsa. 😆, man moved allready.✌🏿

This arise tv journalist should be given a bonus

The last speaker was on point on his suggestion, that government should legalised their business and in turn they should pay tax to the central government. Fuel is always in short supply in the country, documenting and legalising artisans refiners will remedy the situation. I believe to the government they will rather pave way for the bourgeoisies to be importing finished product so that to continue subsidizing the petroleum products.

The government should get in and support them so that they can improve on their productivity and in a more refined manner.
