for the past few 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. the jury is the fifth largest supplier of oil to the united states is the eight large six power of oil on the planet but in the niger delta the 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 this school no good roads no good hospitals every year over three hundred oil spills contaminate the region and constant flaring of

precious natural gas pollutes 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 pipelines sabotage closed haitians and kidnapped foreign oil workers. to leave. 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. well.

bob as sad. as it is. for you to i bought you a new book. and i'm going to tell you through. it. all out who goes you in do so i got it off why did not you call me to let you fall stuff yes or. yes or you want my but i still got my yes. yes or yes but at the end yes a few city think you see only what you see

don't. 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. to live manage

a 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 patrolled the streets and gone on a mission to combat the militants and protect the oil from illegal. but 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 agile tap into the thirty six billion barrels of oil can eat 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 said. i think he's deserved it. the government we have been i do in the event not to god not to him. not to know about. and i joke. do you think they're no longer here. i beg go out of office. and the strong voice. why can't they find somewhere else to stay. far away. what are they doing. that one looks like they've carried some people in this big bed that may bend to.

it but doesn't it. the guard also hold my guess is 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. a new born and. are they dragging the other speedboat along their using their guns to signal each other. 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 mommy has come. i mean and that's when you're done eating please check your 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 bad is it is it is not a minute you're going to want to give you this route to choose to. take it in sure you come on. to it stand up. for you this thing is no better take it with a pepper and chew it audio to noodle identical album for take it quickly come on. my stomach hurts if you were cheering it you latest initiative already done. all this once the demos are gone then he's used all of them does not speak to you but he did i did he. is the cause is a need to wish he would and knows how to give us his i love you. oh good lord just given space. it's all a mate no complications arise as mom is such

by. enough way out then i feel my pains during the delivery name of pain once the baby. love you guys that was like you said it. was that. during my time in h.r. career i've gotten a taste of the tenuous life in the creeks the vast disparity between the region's 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 have laid claim seem just. but i want to learn more about why some young men choose to enter the ranks of the militants and about the leaders that draw them into the struggle so i made my way to the camp of the notorious to take
