a she's got to use is also grayed down. this is data renewed 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 and cameras. the church in wonder where l 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 nigerian exports, but it's had problems exploiting that wealth of crude producing well under its 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 nigeria 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 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 building. go back to fix it back all to go back to destroys. we've reminded by the law talk, 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 boys roof a large group got into the water body. this resultant position for guys, every living organism in there. what, what do you guys mean in our gone to the undergrad grid, john student on bone are coming in in the added on environment that you got through

that a little just short and yet men like these 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 feelings or be surviving. really want to leave is because movie that pays you pays off the income is we're not talking josie or not a photo of what we wanted to walk out of the get. so the risk sometimes we know, so we try to minimize it to. he knows he is risking 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 ega.

refiners and business is going legally refined care is not available in this retail, everyone by for fire. this is why the 5 territory looks like. now this one was just was red gara, which is less than $1.00. many people depend heavily on terrorism for kids. it all you've got are so readily available all around how the bio region could be turned into an oil producing and refining hob se activist. 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. will cease. there are many factors maintaining the fact 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 good, you know, just decide yes what i'm not also policy. a i'm unable to mbc official. so what they're doing in the greeks, the boys are doing a good 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. 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 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. st. mary's 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 to do very mental as well as that. that is that then journals to do it is, is do you where, lisa, what about did you? did you close the pull up to the wall on that object? well, that's in the lamps, and there is no job for you. so what you've lost, so i'd love to see. 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 to stop? i want to move our conversation a little bit forward if you would allow me to because people associate oil with wild and from your experience, that's oil make communities richer or poorer. wow. that is 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 closet involvement. i was out of disease of, of blank a u. my son didn't kill you, did. that's rigs in i want to do. you want them up, you just want what of what the, i still it got this message they've got by the i see on the big people up. so they

are not in the good. are you the one be boys at cookie? he's not to the bottom of the sheep's, 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 met believe is last, rob toss, and they were gonna do that until you lie false information. but in reality, most of the bridges these, both of the business, more or goal of the people who are doing this business trips in or plug object. what, what's in our land, and that is where you will look at it largely magiatta 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 brought. busy laura shar music in the biggest guys more you'll be fine. not easy. my junior does notice i'm not a walk. you will not that there will now a little you get that. did you resign my lease? i need to bring it black and put it in one case of beams of my lap. i mean that this is the amount we will die. i think that is the i yes. caught up in the open to watch and that steve named james talking to us from the niger delta. thank you sir . ah, he watching. did have a nice 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 global. but the problem is particularly difficult in africa, where a record number of people are facing hunger anteater bliss 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, 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 income, rude. rolanda has more than 100 gillhouse forms across the country. jeroen. he caught his clothes are either scarce in the market. oh, we're traditionally available only in certain seasons. we grow based on what the market demands. we grow bell peppers because prior to are doing both up as 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 assure to the communions that listen, 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 income, 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, they can carry on for learn things. african farmers can learn from the crisis and better as of course, you are offered by changing 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 oil, the precision agriculture and we took our presence on agriculture. greenhouse farm in sits are 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 busy 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 for me. sponsor cross come rude. these greenhouse alone has about $3000.00 plants of cherry, tomatoes and bare pepe one year. 60 kilograms of bare pays been harvested today. there are local to us already with you for the produce one of them is disappear, market and walla them together or cylinders meeting with the manager this afternoon. the management brodis is rulers cross over there in porter competitors.

there barbara appeared to motors from him. hello. yep. news is on 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 pos austin of one organic food contribution. we're water serving techniques, unofficial land use. his smart innovation could happen to us on the cameras and coach or whatever. and my next guess you already all in that report, roland, foreman, dumb and sony 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 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 along with the market price and go up to, to make sure that we agree because from, from the fund generation or caught us more than what you're going to be conducted in 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 sure that many years they build thought of being part of 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 in 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 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 doing 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 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 we are the only handle the situation. and i know that we've been there for many years. also what they will change we came in today, she's actually manager and she can actually go on to our franchise system where rain we would government bite back or any production of that . it was, well, we also wanted to make sure that we didn't need 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 naval is different because the production is continuous is gone, has been, there is no 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 out there and cameron, it's great. have you both in the program so as so need to have fun and so roland. fulman don't. thank you so much. we'll be on the program today. appreciate it guys that ah, it's to wander 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 on 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 3rd sector, lately sconces is yours. i heard about this church, a place that accepts us unconditionally and accept anyone. i came back victor, jack to put in and i jumped for joy because this is something new in rwanda, after fitting 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 as you are not al, from the l g beauty q, community one for mazacco lacey, elijah in sancho calm,

love your son in law on the same amount of money on it. christians from other churches criticize us, a number of opinion. they judge us because of our sexuality thing. and i'm saying we are cast a similar, but other she'd a whole lot in their eyes. we will go to hell of a hope. so it is not easy for us to stay here and gone. the law of the whole the church as 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 their teachings online. or korea, harold squad timothy, head towards 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, daniela cuz we looked at the scriptures and saw that they are acceptable people like us. and what that is, why we welcomed 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 doesn't do much sexuality and some of those other things that then portray, does a sinful behavior, upward, munitions actually for, for as a matter of fact, why? because every content diction you're 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 to christians seek and to delve deeper into this, i'm joined by dr. david, 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 being open to l. g, 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 issue? you're. ready right, are you promoting? no, is it very hard copy among the churches and many other countries? so this is just an example of the church. those awkward are to work on. those who have been historically discriminated against. yes. doesn't go. i'd like for you to take a listen to reverend and twan, retire city. he is from the anglican church of rwanda and then i'll come back to you. it's not to become that big piece. how the bible should be. it's the bible that should dictate tell dakota levy and i think that's what we're

making mistakes because we see a just the bible to the new friends of coach the bible that he's delayed the guidelines. it's the bible. the flaky lighthouse for the future will be at least 4 patricia. so you've heard of a dawson gong k, a condemnation from the anglican church in africa. does the church actually practice what it preaches and accept the bible admits entirety, as a quote lighthouse for the faithful, close quote comments by saying that we have to take that bible to shine like him just like the same studies, right. but also in the same church are about it is when it comes to some important issues in society. but when it comes to q, right? you know, the child has seems to go to the bible just say ok,

this is what it will be saying. and then we have to use a bible to shine the light on society, but it just is not always following what the church bridges when, when it comes to non, it's often say it doesn't call that homophobia in africa, specifically as 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 that he is the car and by me for base. but we should also not, you may know the law that i use against edge of it, a few 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 as i speak of the idea or media, she 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 is tied to that issue. appropriation is what i do in lead. give it to you that you people who be pro creation 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 algebra. 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 twitter. finally, inside the church and out or outside the church and also out we leave you with
