profit and helping young people to see farming with new eyes in cameras. class the church in wonder where l. gpc worship is accepted and welcomed. doesn't reflect changing beliefs, and one's in society. ah, hello, i'm christine window 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 doable hurry to free nigeria states 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 wealth of crude producing well under it's

daily opec quota. 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. enable 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. there is 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 steps of lead to the accident

. if real, we to killed more than 100 people will be 3. it's a never ending test from bones when we try to destroy most of this illegal refine refineries that you've seen, the greeks building go back to fix it back all to go back to destroys. we've reminded by the law, 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. simply a spike in terminal illness in the region on leaks and accidents are illegal. and finally, all right, not just be i me. this caused by was roof a large the course. got him to do what our board is this your current

position for just guys, every living organism in there? what are, what do you guys men in allow gone to the undergrad, good done. student on bone are coming in in added an environment that we've got through that a little to short. and yet men like this feel they have little of that option. he was a camp in the creek where they refined stolen, cooled oil, almost every night. camps like he's our cold pool fire we know you'll see on don't be survive in really want to leave is because pays pays off the income is we're not talking to joseph or not. what we want to walk out of the get will 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's no way that we earn a living for his family. kerosene is the most common product from ego refiners, and business is legally refined care is not available in this retail, 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 depends heavily on terrorism. for kids, they don't use gas or so readily available. all around the bio region could be turned into an oil producing and refining hob, say active if they have been calling for the government to legalize the refineries and give the men or pricing 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 s, what value and then face on people for that need. 2 to just decide yes, what i'm not also qualify on don't want to mbc official. so what they're doing in the greeks, it was doing a great job and i thought this is for carmenela. this region of the major delta currently of has it's people view options on to nigeria that's refining its own oil for 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 night to tell. so welcome to the, to 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 guided st. mary's recall it's designed if i married, that might be really good because the guy up process is not the nice guy without the got a shout it out. finally, you talk about what we call a very, very digital to do it is, is, is doing well what about the business?

because they pull up the wall on those object. well, that's in the lamps, and there is no job for you. so what it was like, i love it. so even the officials 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 out 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? daddy, daddy, daddy? paula? i'm very florida. the 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 like i'm

this business. and that's in or plot just what, what's in our land, and that is where you will know that it was my job shop. the communities are the government is paul. that is the disease because of corruption. quite 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 that there will now a lawyer that got to resign my lease. i need to bring it black and put it in one case, one beams of my lap. i mean that this is the my doing it? i think that is, did i? yes. let me open be 8. and that's steve named james talking to us from the niger tells her. thank you sir. ah, lou,

were traditionally available or lose certain seasons. we grow based on what the market demands. we grow bell peppers because prior to as doing better pace, 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 land, thinks african farmers can learn from the crisis a bit as of casual, offered by changing how farming is dawn. with the russian 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 bombs 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 do not 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 $3000.00 plants of cherry tomatoes, and their peppy wire under 60 kilograms of bare pay has been harvested today.

they are local to us already, which you for the produce one of them is disappear market and waller them together. her cylinders meeting with the manager this afternoon. the management proto is, is rollers cross over there in porter competitors? there barbara prepared to motors from him. hello. yep, news 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. rouelis, which of course austin, of one organic food contribution were water serving techniques, unofficial land use. his smart innovation could happen to us on the cameras cordial for ever. and my next guest you already all in that report, roland, foreman,

dumb 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 the new model of agriculture 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, from the fund generation or tried to call wanting to record the content back did an africa law and we believe that by making lunch we should be want to bring a report to the front of development. i know that it the fact that we've been able

to find a way 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 us because both along the you will not want to get involved in that record and that is a big problem. yes, this is sydney. how can you see you now? because you are one of those young people that have grown and 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 food. so need. so what are your hopes for the future? will you be working on a farm? did 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 every day and as we are in the neighborhood. gotcha. we don't have a room full rate that doesn't continue. so i'll really love one of my own the future roland training people to use ad greenhouses is, is a central part of your project. can you just tell us a little bit more about that specifically? today we are very, very proud, because once we only handle the situation and the country that we've been there many years, what did they will change? oh my, we have the life of me and i'll be she cannot go home and we will do our franchise. we're

right now we would government bite back or any production that we also wanted to make sure that they needed to me and so 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 different because the production is continuous is gone, has been, there is not, isn't that we don't use, but we do traditional agricultural, you know, without the rain guns we 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 out there in cameron. it's great. have you both in the program so? so nice have fun and so roland for me and him. thank you so much will be on the program today. appreciate it, guys. those, you know,

it's to wonder now where even though it is not illegal to be gay or lesbian algae bt queue, 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 cigale were in foreclosure 3rd, fidel is gunshot, vicious. i heard about this church, a place that accepts us unconditionally and accept any one i keep track, victor jackson to put in and i jumped for joy because this is something new in rwanda, after 50, 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 is your view and not from the l. g beauty q community one play mazacco lacy. elijah in santa. com love, yes. was an in on the same amount of money on it. christians from other churches criticize us, a number of opinions they judge us because of our sexuality thing. and i'm saying we are cast a similar let a sheet a whole lot in their eyes. we will go to hell of a hook, so it is not easy for us to stay here. and on 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. or korea, harold squad, it 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. a woman can do a man other churches of distance themselves from that stands maintaining that true christianity cannot be altered. his years later, d, money, interest, and duma sexuality, and some of those other things they're then put tree doesn't seem for behaviors up and munitions actually for her. as a matter of fact, why? because every content 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 you will. a christian church being open to algae b t q people, so many churches deny followers who are open about their sexuality. is this an example at dotson gong, offer of a church responding to changes in society to, to a new reality. a key 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 a church that is awkward or to work on. those who have been historically discriminated against. yes. doesn't gone. i'd like for you to take a listen to reverend and twan,

retire city i. he is from the anglican church of rwanda, and then i'll come back to you if not the culture that how they buy more food to be. if they buy will that should dictate how the character will be. and i think that's up to making mistakes because the fit issued a just the bible to the new prints 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 clerks? quit the comments by the saying that we have to take the bible to shine the light in society in the same studies, right? but also in saying that we do that we are about

to when it comes to some important issues in society. but when it comes to educate the queue, right, you know the church has a seems to go to the bible, just say ok, this is what it will be saying. and then we have to use that bible to shine the light on society. but it just is not always following what the church 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 not, you may know the law that i use against educate the q people in, in many countries, half of the background said,

i think they would not meet the migration is, you know, ways of thinking about c into so and so i speak, i mean issue under some of the communities, you know, that's a lot on, on creation. you know, so, so, so they rely on the company to come to so i knew the new people created. and so. * almost sure is tied to that issue. appropriation is what i do in late give it to you. people in april creation by interesting. we can go for a long time cause we must leave here that still say david, go. he's for face of religion and theology at stolen college and just alibi. we appreciate your time, sir. thank you. thank you. and that is that for now?
