bigtt76: what contribution will illegal Refinaries add to the development of our economy in this country? It's better they are flushed out for the government to have a way forward.

It will be good to read that legal ones are built.

Wot kinda stupid human beings re these fools who will not move and not allow people to move. U can't build a refinery yet ü destroy the mini ones built with people's initiatives so as to mitigate the suffering of the man in the street. This govt should stop pushing people to the wall or.............

how do the mini ones get their resources (i.e crude oil?) thru illegal means init? So they should be shut down unelse they are certified

Ehehehehehehehehehehe!
I seeeeeeeeeeeeee!
No wonder big,small and old are paying as high as 300k to join NSCDC!
Hw much is dier salary sef?
Bwf,wen NSCDC begin to de pursue bunkeres and dsetroy illegal refineries.NSCDC is going higher and over taking Nigeria police.

This action by NSCDC is retrogressive. Why not encourage the brain behind these refineries? This how we missed all the technological opportunities of Biafra engineers.

Refineries Can someone please confirm if this is true. Are these people actually refining the oil or are they just selling it as crude? If they are refining the oil ,is it safe for use in a motor vehicle? I will appreciate some valid answers to the above questions.

Illegal refineries will bring job creation, atleast those bunkers are gainfully employed or better say employer of labour

Why not legalize the 615 rather than destroying them thereby creating more unemployment, d govt can use their idea to mak better ones. Our irresponsible govt prefer sending it out, sending one litter and returning half litter .

While they mess up the environment and destroy youth lives with the pollution.

Govt creat job abeg

615 illegal refineries..... na drum wey dem use fire dey heat dem dey call refinery...
They should use another word and not refinery..
Are they trying to say,that they have 615 of the picture below as illegal?..

Of course the thieves in government would destroy them otherwise they would not make a profit from imported fuel. Remember thieves do not like competition because it reduces the amount that can be stolen.

i hate you

Until govt address the problem in the oil industry i dare say that illegal refinery has come to stay.

Govt should encourage owners of this refineries to legalise their business instead blocking their source of livelihood and increasing unemployment. Haba mana

We should be seeing things like 'fg encourage operators of illegal refineries to form a consortium'/
'fg empower operators of illegal refineries technically and legally' and not the other way round.

All you yapping ''supporting the illegal refineries have no idea what you're talking about. Do you know just dangerous the process is? and more importantly, the irreparable damage being done to the environment?

they should be destroyed, simplle

They are actually refining the crude oil, though it certianly not on the scale or sophistication of the warri or PH petrochemical plants

Take a look at this:

NSCDC? Is it not the one we call guguru defence those days, when did they develop the capacity to destroy illegal refineries operated by the likes of tompolo them. Destroying over 600 refineries within 3 months. ?

Abeg, this is fake news joooooo. I don't believe this crap news at all.

Even there are illegal refineries, over 600 refineries at a capacity of 1000 barrels per day, we will have over 600,000 barrels of drude refined daily which can serve our local consumption. Any sense in our government taking over these illegal refineries, upgrade them and use it positively to serve our local demand of petroleum product. Just my opinion oooo.

Unless na just some kind of special pots wey them dey use cook crude for bush.

I dey laugh this country. E go better.

Pergrace: 615 illegal refineries..... na drum wey dem use fire dey heat dem dey call refinery...

No mind them, na all these local cooking pots and drums wèy guys craftly arrange to refine crude,na him dem dey call refinery. I dey laugh in bamenda. Nigeria don reach to laugh, no be lie.

Those illegal refineries are one of the main sources of pollution in the region.

VUVUZELA10: This action by NSCDC is retrogressive. Why not encourage the brain behind these refineries? This how we missed all the technological opportunities of Biafra engineers.

heating crude oil in seemingly open flame is a no brainer. beside most of the enviromental issues in the niger delta is a direct impact of illegal refining as heavy fractions are disposed off indiscreminately into water bodies.

dont mind them, most of them have not even sen one before.
