I am going to guess that this “moonshiner” oil refinery, got its crude by illegally siphoning it off a pipeline.

Will Biden blame dead Nigerian children for the next spike in the price of gasoline?

Probably.

109 killed in explosion at illegal oil refinery in Nigeria

Nigeria’s president has said the country is in “shock and trauma” following the deaths of at least 100 people from an explosion at an illegal oil refinery.

President Muhammadu Buhari described the incident in Imo state, southern Nigeria, as a “catastrophe and a national disaster”.

Many victims were burnt beyond recognition.

The police are now looking for the owner of the illegal refinery.

The damage to fishing and farming caused by the oil industry over the decades and the failure to share the oil wealth has led some to find other ways to make money.

Illegal refining is attractive as in parts of the oil-rich Niger Delta as it is seen as being relatively easy to pull off, despite efforts to halt the practice.

Dozens of people were thought to have been working at the refining plants when they were caught in the huge fire.

The death toll has risen as emergency workers go through the scene. Ifeanyi Nnaji of the National Emergency Management Agency told BBC Igbo that the number killed now stood at 109.

“We learnt many bodies are in nearby bushes and forests as some illegal operators and their patrons scampered for safety,” he earlier told the AFP news agency.

In a statement on Sunday, Buhari offered his condolences to families of the victims and said those responsible for the explosions must be caught and brought to justice.

The authorities have been struggling to curb the proliferation of illegal plants where stolen crude oil is refined. The president ordered security forces to intensify efforts to shut these refineries.

Sure, plenty of fluid cat crackers and distillation columns lying around all over the place. Just a little bit of pipe and some welding and et voila! You have a refinery.

* Oil refineries explode and burn.
* Food storage facilities burn and are crashed into by airplanes.
* Bird flu, animal viruses, and water shortages cause the destruction of thousands of birds, meat, and fish.
* Fire, drought, floods, and lack of fertilizer threatens agri-business

This is a push for the Great Reset and the Deep State takeover of food and energy before President Trump resumes office.

That explains the email I got from a Nigerian refiner that wanted to share his excess gasoline with me for free. I just had to pay the shipping up front.

you can see why these backwoods “refineries” are both dangerous and illegal:

“Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps”

I bet that would be a *fascinating* outfit to work for if it was competently run.
