it's a 77 percent the platform with, you know, or this channel. we are not afraid to happen. delicate topic africans population is growing fast. and young people clearly have the solution to future loans in the 77 percent every weekend on d w b . this is data, be news, africa coming up on the program, dirty and dangerous. we have a report from the niger delta we all forties are cracking down on illegal boiled refining operations. and the smart agriculture that fielding bountiful profit and helping young people to see farming with new eyes in cameras. class

the church in wonder where al gpc worshipers are accepted and welcomed. doesn't reflect changing beliefs in london society. ah hello, i'm christine wonder and it's good to have your company nigeria and it's oil. well, well that is a complicated story. the west african nation is the continent biggest oil producer, and it ranks 11th in global terms, but it has had a hard time attracting for an investment prompting president obama dubois hurry to free nigeria state owned oil firm from state control earlier this month. now, oil accounts for 90 percent of nigeria exports, but it's had problems exploiting that well crews producing well under it's daily

opec cutter. now it is estimated that about a 10th of the oil pumped ends up stolen in the 1st quarter of 2022. that was crude worth, a $1000000000.00. and where it ends up is a dirty business. illegal refineries. mark niger is oil rich niger delta, dirty and dangerous back in april. this refinery exploded, killing more than a 100 people. now the government is cracking down on these illegal refineries, but when dw corresponding flushable visited the niger delta, she found that the problem is far from over the years i do. this is what happens when nigeria and security forces find an illegal or refiner d. w obtained rarely seen footage taken by offices as the set fire to one of the many refineries that had through the manger delta the except of li through the

accident. if real, we to cued more than 100 people will basically it's a never ending test for from bones when we try to destroy most of this illegal refined refineries that you've seen the greeks bills to go back to fix it back all to go back to destroys we've reminded by the law to glum done on those that up every 30 on this level. so it's actually a crime to the mission, a crime, to the environment, the crime, to the community. so blame a spike in terminal illness in the region on leaks and accidents as illegal refineries. all right, so what not just be i me this caused by close roof. a large group doesn't go to what i would do this. the resultant position

for guys, every living organization in there. what are, what do you guys men in are gone to the undergrad. good john student on bone are coming in in added an environment that can go through that a little short. and yet men like this feel they have little of that option. he was a camp in the creek where they refine stolen crude oil almost every night. camps like he's our cold pool fire, we cannot see on the surviving. we really want to leave is because pays pays off, the income is gold. we're not talking to joseph or not under photo. would we want to walk out of the get would be. so the risk sometimes we know, so we tried to minimize it to he knows his risk in his life. he could die in an

accident or if caught or convicted, spend the rest of his life in geo. but he says, there is no other way to earn a living for his family. kerosene is the most common product from ega. refiners and business is going need any refined care is not available in this region. everyone by for fire. this is why the highly refined territory looks like this was just like a barrel, which is less than $1.00. many people depend heavily on terrorism for kids, they don't use that are so readily available all around the bio region could be turned into an oil producing and refining hob se activists. they have been calling for the government to legalize the refineries and give the men or preaching them proper training. there are no legal refinery working in my area.

maurice, our language has been campaigning for such policies. let's see, there are many factors maintaining the sector. so does high level put up to the oil companies out on the value of the what value and then face on people for that needs to. 2 does decide yes what i'm not also qualify. 2 i'm unable to mbc official so what they're doing in the greeks was are doing a great job and i thought the ability expo terminals this region of the major delta currently of has it's people view options on to nigeria that's refining its own oil. what the country will continue to lose billions of dollars and locals here will continue to and will, the can no matter how dangerous. and for more on the story we've invited chief,

maybe james on to the program, he is an activist and community leader. he joins us from the niger tell. so welcome to date of the news africa chief. so we've just seen in our reports how dangerous he legal oil refineries are, how harmful they are to the environment. how is it then that there are so many of them seemingly operating in broad daylight in the niger delta? yes. actually you quality legality scenarios? recall it's designed, if i married, has not been illegally. good, because the entire process is not the nice guy without the got a fish out it out. finally, you talk about a very, very digital to do it is, is, is do you where, lisa,

what did you close? the pull up push to the wall on those object. well, that's in the lamps, but there is no job for you. so what it now, so i'd love to see it. so even the dot net of the shots who ought to stop seats or minimize it, or that you didn't enjoy it more. so did you want you to stop? i want to move up conversation a little bit forward if you would allow me to because people associate oil with well, and from your experience, does oil make communities rich or poor? sadie? very well, i'm very laura, a blessing to ross. what the all you use now it brought are you is bleeding. he's given us disease was that i was out of this is is off of. thank

this business. and that's in our plug. just what, what's in our land. and that is where you will know that it was my job shop, the communities and the government is paul. that is the reason is because of corruption. actually my guys about about 10 to 15 fifties. that different got but i mean even the biggest guys know you'll be fine. not easy. my g does notify my the walk. you will not there will now a lawyer that got to resign my lease. i need to bring it black and put it in one of beams or my lap. i mean that this is the my do you think that is, did i? yes, let me open the age and that's steve named james, talking to us from the niger tells her. thank you sir. ah,

you're watching these every news africa still to come. we will hear from the worshippers from the church that opened its doors to people in the l g b t. community in wonder at 1st climate change and conflicts around the world, especially in ukraine, are threatening food security globally. but the problem is particularly difficult in africa, where a record number of people are facing hunger, r t w's plays ale mess up with a businessman. and former aiming to promote smart agriculture in the village of the bomb body in cameron. 10 years ago, rumor foreman, they'll return to come from the u. s. to star greenhouse form. it is a method of every quarter door removed. newcomer rude. loaner has more than 100 view house forms across the country. you are on. he got to be as close to the eagle skiers in the market. oh, we're traditionally available or lose certain seasons. we grow based on what the

market demands. we grow bell peppers because prior to as doing better best, they were actually been imported. so we've actually been able to substitute the importation of bell peppers into the country. one of the things we've been able to do is to sure to become unions that listen to things that are normally been imported or grown abroad. could also be grown here. they you, trina, war tons of lumet as a week. as we get a price, i can fully cover rude. like a rest of the continent. sorry, food prices are making it hard for many families to afford a complete meal. the stamps are good and can carry on for lunch things african farmers can learn from the crisis a bit as of casual, offered by changing how farming is dawn. with a dawson crisis. it is a curse on a blessing at the same time. and i believe that it actually reminds us of the need of, you know, industrialized oh, i see precision agriculture and we took our presence on agriculture,

greenhouse farm. it sits at the very core of that in a bit to share knowledge and contribute to food security. cross cameroon, rollin is now offering classes to teach young people how to set up greenhouse farms like this. take home soon. it are $29.00 is currently among those of young people on the rollers year. long mentorship should be here for 6 most learning. all it takes to set up a run a greenhouse form before coming here, i didn't have any clue. maybe i had just the busy knowledge about fan, but i cannot have the real knowledge about greenhouse. so i was just delighted when i saw it on facebook ruling. have us crossed every week from his farms across, come, rude. these greenhouse alone has about 3000 plants of cherry tomatoes, a bare peppy. wire under 60 kilograms of bare prepays, been harvested today. they are local to us already, which you for the produce one of them is disappear,

market and walla. lemme gather her cylinders meeting with the manager this afternoon. the management road is, is rollers cross over there in porter competitors? the barbara appeared to matters from him. a lawyer preserve is not there. many reasons why we work with local producers 1st is because of the freshness of the crops. that's because the crops grown nearby is in. the 2nd reason is due to the cost. it's expensive to import these kinds of goods. so buying them locally, provides an affordable option for our clients. rule and switching pushes the newborn organic food contribution. we're water serving techniques, unofficial, and use his smart innovation could happen to us on the cameras agricultural forever . and my next guest you already all in that report roland for madame and so

need to find welcome to the both of you to deed up in east africa. roland you 1st. this is an innovative business model. in many ways. tell us about your vision for greenhouse ventures and what you've achieved since he started in 2014. our vision was being able to introduce a new model of agriculture, a model that we believe that would address. and we can use a model that we believe would increase for production. and that it will go all the way through the market price and go up to, to make sure that we go from moving from the fund generated or tried to call wanting to record the content africa for too long. and we believe that by making lunch we should be able to bring a report to the front of development. i know that in fact that we've been able to

find many ways to abstract all make many you'll still be in this underscore through pollution for me to think that it is a huge remark to all of that. because for the long, the you will not want to get involved in that record. and that is a big problem. yes, this is sydney. how can i see you now? because you all one of those young people that roland would be talking about? you have been learning the trade you've been growing vegetables. how's it been going? well, it's an amazing experience. given the fact that when coming year, i had no idea what it was all about. but for the past 6 months that i've been here, i've had a great time because i'm learning every day and it is something what, what i think it's so need. so what are your hopes for the future? will you be working on a farm to do you want to set up one of your own? what tell us about what do you want to do this? natalie, want to set up one of them for myself because you know,

i mean cultural is evolving everyday and as we are doing so the neighbor. gotcha. we don't have a room full or we met production to continue. so i'll really was one of my own, the future roland training people to use. greenhouses is a central part of your project. can you just tell us a little bit more about that specifically? and today we are very, very brown because one we are the only me sufficient. and i know that we've been the last minute block on the naval train. we came in today. she's actually manager and she can actually go on to our franchise system where rain would government bite back or any production of that it

was. well, we also wanted to make sure that we didn't need it to me as we need. i want to come back to you because you talked a little bit about this, but how is smart, sustainable agriculture, different to some of the traditional practices in cameroon? well, the for the mobile is the frame because the production is continuous is gone, has been, there is not season that we don't use with the traditional agricultural, you know, without the rain you can do so there is that that's stumbling blocks of climate change. but in the greenhouse everything continue. yeah. and incredible stuff that you guys are doing up in cameron. it's great. have you both in the program so as so need to have fun and so roland foreman, don't. thank you so much will be on the program today. appreciate it guys. good. ah. it's to wonder now where even though

it is not illegal to be gay or lesbian, l g b t q. people have faced problems from the society around them. many say they faced frequent discrimination, but against this backdrop, one church has decided to tread another part and openness stores wide sunday morning for most rwandans means going to church and they're spoiled for choice and where they can go to worship. but many l g b t 2, people say they didn't feel welcome and rwanda's churches until they found this one on the outskirts of the capitol kigali where in foreclosure, 3rd sector, little is conjures, is yours. i heard about this church, a place that accepts us unconditionally and accept any one that victor jack to put in. and i jumped for joy because this is something new in rwanda, after city at the moment. i feel at home here because this is the 1st time i can

freely seeing dance i me or talk with other people. does your view or not are from the l. g beauty q, community one for mazacco lacey eliza, akin. sancho calm, love. yes. and in on the same amount of money on it, christians from other churches criticize us, our number and the pin. they judge us because of our sexuality thing. and i'm saying we are cast about that. and she had a whole lot in their eyes. we will go to hell, so it is not easy for us to stay here and gone. the law of the house, the churches leadership made a conscious effort to open up its membership, which is currently at about a 100 people. they say another $5000.00 from around the country follow the teachings online. it or korea, harold's cloudy timothy, head towards coma. the decision to integrate l g b t q. people into our churches came after we saw that they were undesirable in any

christian church. daniella cuz we looked at the scriptures and saw that they are acceptable people like us able to see what that is, why we welcomed these people of god. e woman can do a man other churches of distance themselves from that stands maintaining that true christianity cannot be altered the hideous later v my the interest and do my sexuality and some of those other things that then put tree doesn't seem for behaviors up when munitions actually for her asthma to fuck why? because everything to diction you finding the bible is a protection for the community. it's a common view in rwanda which has over 15000 churches but with only one outlier providing the unconditional welcome l g b t q. christians seek antidote deeper into this,

i'm joined by dr. david and go. dozen gog is originally from cameron, and as a professor of religion and theology at stillman college, in tuscaloosa, alabama from where he joins us now. welcome to dw, and he is africa. it sounds almost counter intuitive if, if you will. a christian church been open to algae b t q people, so many churches deny followers who are open about their sexuality. is this an example? ad dotson gong, offer of a church responding to changes in society to, to a new reality issue a. ready arrives, as you probably know, is a very hard topic among the charges in many other countries. and so this is just an example of those off one are to we're coming. those will have been i started to discriminate against. yes. doesn't go, i'd like for you to take a listen to reverend antwan, retire city. he is from the anglican church of rwanda and then i'll come back to

you. it's not the culture that how they buy more food to be. if they buy one that should dictate how the character will be, and i think that's up to what are making mistakes, could be issued. adjust the bible to the new creams of culture, the bible that gives the like the guidelines. it's the bible is like a lighthouse for the people, at least for the christian. so you've heard of a dozen golf k, a condemnation from the anglican church in africa. does the church actually practice what it preaches and accept the bible in its entirety? as quote lighthouse for the faithful clothes quit because comments by the saying that we have to take that bible to shine the light in society in the same studies, right? but also in the same church all about it

is when it comes to some important issues in society. but when it comes to educate to cure i, you know, the church has seems to go to the bible just say ok, this is what i will be saying. and then we have to use the bible to show the light on society is not always following what the judge bridges when, when it comes to, it's often say it doesn't call that homophobia. in africa, specifically is a relic of colonialism. but what you've written is that there is a purely african dynamic to, to homophobic attitudes on the continent. tell us a little bit more about that. and do you think things will change then? but he is the car in miami to base, but we should also a lot of the law that i use against educate the q people in, in many countries, half of the background said, i think they also,

they not me in the migration is you know, ways of thinking about c into so and so i speak the idea or me see under somebody in the community, you know, that's a lot on, on to appreciation. you know, so, so, so they rely on the community. so i knew the new people created. and so. * almost like strategy is tied to that issue. appropriation is what i do in late give it to you. people who be procreation by interesting. we can go for a long time and calls, but we must leave it here that still say david, go. he's for face of religion and theology at stolen college and just kind of alibi . we appreciate your time, sir. thank you. thank you. and that is that for now,
