so.

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 a conflict. the jury is the fifth largest supplier of oil to the united states is the aid 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 has ignited which militant pipelines sabotage. closed haitians and kidnapped

foreign oil workers we are telling all i asked to leave my kid until he did i had to leave my guess. who took allies who decide lies who come to depend on the. history lesley. 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. guy i bought your new book. and you usually go i'm going to tell you through.

all that who got you into so i got it all why did not you call we don't let you fall stuff yes or like you. yes or you want my butt out. yes. yes or no but i don't and i doubt 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 patrolled the streets and gone 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 oil. we passed by bonny island where multinational oil companies like shell. and agile tap into the thirty six billion barrels of oil beneath our feet. and i find myself in each of the tiny fishing village that is frequently visited by the. militants from a nearby camp. as . i said. i think it's deserved. the government we have been a doing not to god not to him. not to know about. and i joke.

or. do you think they're no longer here. but i beg go out of office. and the strong voice. and why can't they find somewhere else to stay. far away. what are they doing. it looks like they carry some people in this big bed and they bend to. it but doesn't it. is the cargo hold my guess is it will be bad for them if they run out of bullets the world we live in is this an urban life or rural life. and you. 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 for. fun. and the man came up to his cum. 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 that is to sit in that moment and you're going to want to give you this route to try to. take it in sure come on. to it stand up. for you this thing is no better take it with
