the old free broadcast quality video for your media projects and free video donned our t. dot com. so. six . six. six. zero for the past two years the battle has raged at the mouth of the niger river

pitting local militants against government forces and multinational oil companies. when i first arrived here i had just a basic understanding of the nature of the conflict. is the fifth largest supplier of oil to the united states just a large sex power of oil on the planet but in the niger delta region that produces hundreds of millions of dollars in oil and gas each year the average person lives on less than one dollar per day there are no there schools no good roads no good hospitals every year over three hundred oil spills contaminate the region and constant flaring of precious natural gas pollution the ecosystem. companies and corrupt politicians reap enormous profits the inhabitants of the niger delta live in poverty. under these circumstances it was no surprise to me that a conflict that ignited in which militants blow pipelines. sabotage closed haitians

and kidnapped foreign oil workers we have tended. to leave my kid until he did i had to leave my guess. who took that ice blue decide life is who come to depend on me. mr leslie. the truth is i always tend to root for the underdog and i felt an attraction to these men who were taking on the world's largest oil corporations and the corrupt government of africa's most populous nation so i took my camera to nigeria to try to meet them. bob as bad. as. you thought i bought your new book. and usually i'm going to tell you through.

all you guys doing this all i got it all why do. you call we don't let you fall stuff yes or a lot you. yes or you want mild radical blah blah yes. yes or yes but out to an end yes a few forty think you see only what you see don't add. but.

i decided to follow the camp commander's advice traveling with some fishermen i set out to see for myself what life is like in the niger delta and hopes of understanding the conditions out of which the militancy was born. my brother such a life is sweet it's just that there is no money. manager good life is not easy. but i had to keep a low profile numerous foreign journalists and documentary filmmakers had already been expelled country. government forces patrolling the streets and going on a mission to combat the militants and protect the oil from illegal. and many in the

niger delta field as the oil companies and the federal government were robbing the region of its oil. we passed by bonnie island for multinational oil companies like shell. and magic tap into the thirty six billion barrels of oil beneath our feet. and i find myself in a jock or a tiny fishing village that is frequently visited by the. militants from a nearby camp. i think it's deserved. the government we have been i do in the event

not to god not to him. not to know about it. and i joke. or. do you think they're no longer here. but i beg go out of office. in the strong voice. why can't they find somewhere else to stay. far away. what are they doing. it looks like they've carried some people in this big bed. may bend to. it but doesn't it. the cargo hold michael see it will be bad for them if they run out of bullets. or world we live in is this an urban life or rural life to live a new born and. are they dragging the other speedboat along there using their guns

to signal a child. even in the midst of the conflict so ordinary life takes its course and its twenty three year old named mom goes into labor feel. for. them ok mama has come. i'm in a mess when you're done eating please check her stomach moment. when she is slow to deliver her father feeds her roots and black pepper a traditional remedy to help speed the birth. how that is so it is not a minute you're going to want to give you this route to to. take it in sure you come on. to it stand up. that way this thing is no better take it with

that. was that was like it. was never. going to get it was. during my time in h.r. career i've gotten a taste of the tenuous life in the creeks the vast disparity between the regions immense natural wealth and inhabitants access to basic necessities like clean drinking water or modern medical care. methods aside the niger delta cause to which the militants had laid claim seemed just. but i wanted to learn more about why some young men choose to enter the ranks of the militants and about the leaders to draw them into the struggle so i made my way to the camp of the notorious to take a tom cruise niger delta patriotic force as one of the strongest in the region. israel's director of one hundred thirty three dollars per barrel of mine to the movements of the of the greater the niger delta. all until recently launched the salvage on development company monday. they are next to
