Why are they doing this?In Nigeria, who are these people who are shooting at Oil workers and kidnapping them?
Rebels. They are violently protesting Americans and other big oil companies around the world from exploiting their natural resources.





My fiance went to work over there for a few jobs. People come in from all over the world to reap the benefits of their oil stocks. They have plentiful resources...yet the country is in severe poverty. They don't see the wealth from it...only the country's leaders do. It makes them rebel. Unfortunately...it's in a violent manner.In Nigeria, who are these people who are shooting at Oil workers and kidnapping them?
just normal poor people. its not all their fault. they don't get any benefit from oil that belongs to the country even though they are nigerian. they have to pay alot of money for gas for living during winter or burners. but the government doesn't care about them freezing or dying. So here is that question. They have to die 'cause they were born poor? or they have to let their children


suffer from the fear of death to frozen or hunger even though


the government does nothing for the people, just selling oil to abroad and taking money for only themselve?
third world...its been happening for years in third world countrys..they are peasents
They want to get paid and resent Americans working there and feel as though they are being ripped off it is very scary there and they even paddle 7 miles out to try and take over work bardges It is different tribes.
