Very true

big pastor:
Kai!!!!!!!!
See how money miss road!!
What may have been used to empower several graduates.
I don't want to believe this is true!
How does this affect the price of garri in the market

Mcjoke: It amazes me how some people here are shouting it's our money, it's our soil instead of calling a spade a spade. Do you people want to end up like northrz where their kinsmen steal,steal and steal without developing their region. I think we should all think like civilized people at this stage of our existence for once.

IGBO-SON:
na waoh u really depict your name.


^^^Inasmuch as this story leaves a bad taste in the mouth, how different is this Tompolo guy to the thieving politicians, born-to-rule cabal, thieving contractors and lazy/jobless quota-system enabled civil servants (that spend a greater part of the working day cutting deals)?

It's his turn to chop, and those that have been chopping since the late 60s ( wearing the unmerited garb of respectable gentlemen) shouldn't begrudge him his own share abeg!

I tend to overlook all this b'cos anyone acting all holier-than-thou and taking umbrage at his latest acquisition need to first ask what kind of setup do we have in Nigeria that leads to the emergence of a 'Tompolo'; but to do this they first have to dislodge their block heads from the sand!

Tompolo carry go abeg.....na your oyel money be that bros......enjoy am!


PS-Anyone wey no like am fit go hug transformer!

T.D. Jakes just mentioned ( gave testimony ) how gas is found in a house ( property ), he bought just 60 days ago.

You know what, the guy ( Tompolo ) should be richer, if Nigeria has been practicing what advanced countries do, example is U.S.A.

They've been cheated for too long, if oil or gas is found in your land ( property ), it naturally ( rightfully ) belong to you. You receive ( get ) what is due for you directly from the oil companies.

You've to understand the origin of something first, are they SS / SE being cheated or not?

We've got stuffs flowing in our ( family) lands in Abia, until things are managed the way it should be, it remains untouchable.

Really Tompolo may actually have been richer if he found oil in his land, collaborated with technical pathners to exploit it and paid taxes o government! But selfish and our greedy most educated people will not accept this!

bakynes: I want this country to split,Let's hold a referendum to that effect.Let each region go their seperate ways am tired of hearing its our Oyel money everytime. I am a Petroleum Engineer studied in the UK and I know Oil recession is coming soon in some countries in the next 50-100 yrs. Oil reserves will increase in other countries and the dependence of Oil is almost over. The west are doing everything to find alternatives to Oil and when that time comes I hope some pple won't cry out for help. I support the Emancipation of the Niger delta region, but of wat use is it if this same man who swore to fight for the freedom of his pple is nt giving back to Communities he swore to fight for. I do nt also support the Northerners owning most of the Oil blocs in the ND.But hold ur leaders responsible wen the oil recession begin, they fail to use the money for the good of their own pple bt to enrich themselves instead of the Land. SW will survive without your Oil who knows 2moro Oil reserves might increase in the SW. Split Nigeria

The fear of the 9ja deltan insisting on the resource control fight and the over dependence on oil by the SW

Standing5: Good for him. They want the Oyel money and now they have a part of it. Marginalization is almost over i guess. Give our son 4 years to complete the 'Good' work.

DaLover: The truth is, Tompolo may or may not have made his money in the best way possible, like Jesus once said, let him without sin cast he first stone.
Looking across the terrain of the country, I can beat my chest to say that 98% of billionaires in this country can attribute their wealth to oil from the 9ja delta...and majority of them are because they were close affiliates to the military boys who controlled power through the gun...

So to a newbie to this topic or someone ignorant of the real issues, why is there so much emphasis on the ND militants who have made money?
The fear of the 9ja deltan insisting on the resource control fight and the over dependence on oil by the SW and the Core north,
The SW press have realized that by constantly focusing attention on the rich militants, the propaganda will be strong enuf to destroy the desire of the average 9ja deltan to fight for true resource control, the strategy is simple, play up the negative aspects of the struggle in the media and play down any positives...

I saw somewhere that if you keep telling a big lie long enuf, it seams to become true, even to the person or people being lied against.

Like I have always said, and keep saying, education is a means to an end, the end being a developed society, it isn't Enuf to laf at the 9ja deltans that they are not educated, it would also be nice for this country to begin to benefit from the much touted well educated resources of the SW. If put to proper use, can generate much more money that oil, which is presently driving the media in the SW crazy with tompolos money.
fact: Israel with no oil or natural resource and a population of 6mllion people, generates about $100b in revenues, same as nigeria with a population of 150 million.
The population of the SW maybe at least 35million can definitely do better than over reliance on 9ja delta oil, and who and who in the 9ja delta is buing planes or not.

idupaul:

Get Black friends then so u can explain to them

Joysmart: tell that to your pastors.

Wadeoye: ND emancipation indeed. I hope these so called ND people will not come and start shouting environmental problems, negligence, lack of infrastructure when GEJ leaves power. You have power now and militants are buying private jets, etc instead of addressing the real issues facing the region.

Osama10: When I say this country is finished people start wondering,can u imagine this happening in any other part of this world?

A militant?

ogbronx: walahi! finished and gone! Even more painful is Nigerians dont take serious issues seriously.

the_ripper3: So TY Danjuma, Alakija and the other thieves can own an oil bloc in Niger Delta and amass so much wealth and a son of the soil shouldn't tap into the same grace?

Bunch of jokers. Naija na opportunity, when e reach ur turn, chop and quench.
