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 wealth of crude producing well and 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 mach 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 flushed or 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 office, says as the set fire to one of the many refineries that had through the manger delta the stepped up read through the accident. if real, we to killed more than 100 people are basically it's a never ending task for from burns. when we try to destroy most of this illegal refine refineries that you've seen the greeks bills to go back to fix it back

all to go back to destroys. we've been mandated by the law. talk glum, done on those that up every 13 on this level. so it's actually a crime for the nation, 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, and i was just be i me this caused by i spoof, i lost the course gut and go to what i would do this result trans position for some guys, every living gun isn't in there. what. what do you guys mean in our gun should under grid, good john, student on bone or call me or in an added on 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 refined stolen crude oil almost every night. camps like he's our cold pool fire. with your see on the survive in really want to leave is because maybe this is phase or we're going is we're not talking josie or not photo from what we want to walk out of the get would be so the risk sometimes renews or try 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 evie got

refiners and business is legally refined. care has been is not available in this region. everyone by fire. this is why the highly refined territory looks like this was just dara, which is less than $1.00. many people here depends heavily on terrorism to keep it all you've got are so readily available. all along the bio region could be turned into an oil producing and refining hob, say activists. they have been calling for the government to legalize the refineries and give them mental pricing them proper training. there are no legal refinery in my area. morris. our language has been campaigning for such policies with seas. there are many factors maintaining the fact so does high level put up to

the companies out on the value of the volume and then face on people for that needs to. 2 does this? yes. what i'm not also qualify. i'm unable to mbc official. so what they're doing in the greeks was are doing a great job. and i thought this is the export terminal. this region of the major delta currently off as it's people, few options on to nigeria that's refining its own. oil with the country will continue to lose billions of dollars and locals. here we continue to earn, well, the can no matter how dangerous. and for more on the story we've invited chief maggie james on to the program, he is an activist and community leader. he joins us from the night at tulsa, welcome to date of the news,

africa chief. so we've just seen in our reports how dangerous illegal 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 league out it's, i not recall it's designed. if i marries, that's not really good because the process is not the most. we thought the got a really good out and finally talk about it because it does do do very mental as well as that. that is that then journals to do it is, is do you where, lisa, what about the good, did you close the pull up to the wall on the object? well, that's in the lamps, and there is no job for you. so what it was, so good luck. 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 if you wanted to stop, i want to move our conversation a little bit forward if you would allow me to because people associate oil with wealth and from your experience, does oil make communities richer or poorer savvy? very well, i'm very, laura, the still a blessing to ross what the oil is now it brought are, you, is bleeding. he's given us disease wasn't involved in that. i was out of disease of, of, blank until you, until you did. that's rigs in i want to do, you want them up? you just want what of what the i still got this message. they've got by the i o. c

. and the big people are offshore. they are not in the good. are you the one be boys at cookie? he's not a lot of the ships they are loaded, such if james, how then could nigerians oil which is be used for the common goods to benefit? the people written about the money is jailing. a believe is flash, rock toss, and they were gonna do that until you lie false information. but in reality, most of the bridges these, both of them, this was more our goal of the people who are doing this business trips in or clock just what, what's in our land. and that is where you will no doubt it was in the shop. the communities on the government is paul. what is the reason because of corruption?

actually my judo is about about 10 to 15 fifties. that different got bradshaw. all you gotta show me, even the biggest guy's more, you'll be fine. not easy. my junior does notice, i'm not a walk. you will not that there will. now at that this, the boy you got to resign my lease. i need to bring it back and put it in one case of beams of my land. i mean that this is the amount we will buy. i think that is the i just caught up in the open to watch. and that's chief name james talking to us from the niger tells her. thank you sir. ah. he watching. he'd have in his 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 hanger. anti debris is placed ale messed up with a businessman and former aiming to promote smart agriculture in the village of the bomb body in cameron. 10 years ago, ruler form on their return to come room from the u. s. to star greenhouse form. it is a method of every quarter door remains new. come, rude. rolanda has more than 100 view house forms across the country. jeroen. he caught his clothes that i just came in the market. oh, were traditionally available only in certain seasons. we grow based on what the market demands. we grow bell peppers because prior to all doing bad purpose, they were actually been imported. so we've actually been able to substitute the in partition of bell peppers into the country. one of the things we've been able to do

is to sure to become unions that less than the things that are normally been imported or grown abroad, could also be grown here. do you agree? no wor, toes of kilometers away as we get a price, like for food, come rude. like the rest of the continent. sorry, food prices are making it hard for many families to afford a complete meal. the stamps are good, can carry on for learn things. african farmers can learn from the crisis, are better, as of course, you are offered by children. how farming is dawn with a dawson crisis. it is of course, on a blessing at the same time. and i believe that it actually reminds us of the need of, you know, industrialized 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, roulette is now offering classes to teach young people how to set up greenhouse

forms like this. take home soon. it are 29 is currently among daughters of young people. on the rollers year long mentorship. she'll be here for 6 mars lennon . all it takes to set up are on a greenhouse form. before coming here, i didn't have any clue. maybe i had just the basic knowledge about fun. but i do not have the real knowledge about greenhouse. so i was just delighted when i saw it on facebook ruling have us cross every week from these forms across, come, rude. these greenhouse alone has about 3000 plants of cherry tomatoes, a bare peppy, wander 60 kilograms of bare prepays, been harvested today. there are local to us already, which you for the produce one of them is discipline market and waller. my gather her cylinders meeting with the manager this afternoon. the management

rotate is rollers cross over there in porter competitors. there barbara prepared to motors from him. hello. yep, news is on there. many reasons why we work with local producers fastest 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 pushing for sa, cinnabon, organic food contribution. we're water serving techniques, unofficial land use. he's smart innovation could happen to us on the cameras coach or whatever. and my next guess you already all in that report, roland foreman down 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 in the session was being able to introduce a 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 would go all the way through the market price and go up to, to make sure that we go from moving from the fund generation or tried to call wanting to record the content, africa, and we believe that by making lunch we should be able 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 sure that many years they build being part of this underscore through pollution. for me personally, i think that it is a huge remark to all 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 you see you now? because you are 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, you know, 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? 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 think cultural is evolving every day and as we are in the neighbor. 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 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 one, we are the only institution. and so we've been able to use a, a student id and all of that. so she cannot, we call a pronto system where right now we would go by what it was. we also want to know to wanted to make sure that it is or me as the need. i want to come back to you because you talked a little bit about this, but how is their smart, sustainable agriculture,

different add to some of the traditional practices in cameroon? well, the 1st level is the frame because the production is continuous, it is consistent. there is not, isn't that we don't support studios, but with the traditional agricultural, you know, without the real you can do there is that, that fumbling block of climate change. but in the greenhouse, everything continue here. and there incredible stuff that you guys are doing out there in cameron. it's great. have you both in the program, so as soon as have fun and so roland are form and, and thank you so much for being on the program today. appreciate it guys. good. it's to wonder now where even though it is not illegal to be gay or lesbian, l g b, t. few people have faced problems from the society around them. many say they faced frequent discrimination, but against this backdrop,

one church has decided to trade a nother 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 were in foreclosure thanks. if their legal is conscious vicious. i heard about this church in a place that accepts us unconditionally and accepts anyone. i keep sac victor jack 5th 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 saying, dance i know or talk with other people as you are not from the l g b t q, community on play malaysia on lacey, elijah in some popcorn love. you ran in on the same amount of money on it.

christians from other churches criticize us, a number and the pin. they judges because of our sexuality thing, and i'm saying we are cast a similar letter. she'd a whole lot in their eyes. we will go to hell of a 100. 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 squad, it to mother he had told coma the decision to integrate algae be to q people into our churches came after we saw that they were undesirable in any christian church. i know what, cuz we looked at the scriptures and saw that they are acceptable people like us. that is why we welcome to these people of god. a woman can do,

among other churches of distance themselves from that stands maintaining that true christianity cannot be altered behaviors, laker di maria, and do my sexuality and some of those other things that then put tree doesn't seem for behaviors of 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. dolphin 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 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 right, as you probably know, is a very hard topic among the charges in many other countries. and so this is just an example of the church. those off one are to were coming. those who have been, i started to discriminate against. yes. doesn't go, i'd like for you to take a listen to reverend antwan. retired seated. 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 one that should dictate how the character will be, and i think that's up to what i'm making the stick because we fit, issued

a just the bible to the new cream of culture. and the bible that gives the like the guidelines. it's the bible is like a lighthouse for the people be 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 a quote lighthouse for the faithful, close quote. because comments by the saying that we have to take the bible to shine a light interest in the same studies, right? but also in the same we do that with churches are about it. when it comes to some important issues in society, but when it comes to the queue, right? you know the church has seems to go to the bible to say ok,

this is what it will be saying. and then we have to use the bible shunted light on society is not always following what 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? 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. how for background said, i think they would not make the migration is you know, ways of thinking about c into so and so i speak the idea for me. she under some of the communities, you know, that's a lot on,

on to creation. you know, so so, so they rely on the community 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 who be procreation by interesting. we can go for a long time and calls, but 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? be sure to check out our, the stories on d, w dot com, forward slash africa were also on facebook and on switch. and finally, inside the church and out or outside the church and also out,
