For The Sake Of Peace by okomogo(m): 11:58am On Aug 06, 2014
THE GODS ARE NOT BE BLAMED:
BUT THE PEOPLE INSTEAD:
Knowledge they say is the legal power structure of corporation between two people.
I remember in my little age being told the Story of how these Environmental Terrorists (Oil Companies) mostly the British Mafia Organization (SPDC) came into occupy our Land aggressively.
I was told some Communities like Peremabiri in Southern Ijaw L.A...of Bayelsa State, celebrated them with the phrase; "Shell-Go-Pay".
These British Organized Crooks (The BOC'S) came in with a bottle of Scotch Whisky Gin, as a sign of gift, & respect to appease the gods & villagers, like a docile cow ready for milking.
Finally they (Communities) were flattered, hooded & crooked.
No formal aggreement , MOU or Letter of Ownership was written by both parties, it was not easy knowing who to believe, whether the Community Elders, or the Accused (SPDC).
It was like a lost battle, due to the ignorance of the Kings, the BOC'S had outmanoeuvred the people.
When a subject is not taught in school, & you don't have the text book to learn, how would you pass the exams?
Sad, very sad, it was a story where the Cock-crows & the Hen holds his peace.
When you study the history of these Environment Terrorists, a touching & interesting perspective emerged;
on one hand, "the people saw the opportunity", & on the other hand, "they do not play to the set of rules that governed the society".
Just like the Bible reads;
"My people perish for lack of wisdom".
This is the opposite story of the Kelvin Costner's type, "who robbed from the rich & give to the poor".
In this case, you're caused the most pain for aggressively taking from the poor & given back to the rich.
Sorrow, tears, pain & abuse, neglect over pollution, flatulency, density & viscosity, no more farming or fishing which is the means & major occupation of the people.
O God, at sporting events, a gentleman would not begrudge the other team it's victory.
If his own team is the victor, he does not taunt the opposition.
But this was not a case of a gentleman, where one was expecting to get a gift from a friend, or in hopes of picking up helpful return.
When the Communities cried, Government instead will offer a cocktail approach & say, "but i don't drink alcohol", they offered no further solutions, after all, all the Oil Blocks in the Niger Delta are owned by Northern Principalities (Majorities) who the British handed over power to since the colonization of Nigeria in 1960.
The Ijaw-Man (South-Southerner) is a careless but peaceful man, which i would not pray that task on anyone, in the face of errosions, & corroding landslide cases of our community waterfronts.
For the Hausas (North), they are very crafty people who will do everything within their reach to keep Power, whether by coup or any form.
And for the Yoruba's (West), consider him a traitor, & foundation of today's debt-ridden Nigeria, who creates the risk faced by average middle class people.
For the Igbo's (East), they're income-generating assets, but bent on greed.
Well, the real tragedy here to the Ijaw-Man was lack of education,
this was a last-minute panic, which inevitably lead to acts of desperation & skill-given disaster.
THE GODS ARE NOT TO BE BLAMED;
they gave us wealth & cursed our Father's generation.
The only option was to stand up & take advatange of our generation, to protect & fight for
Self-Determination Resource-Control &
Political-Space.
This lead to the sound of the guns in the Creeks of Niger Delta, because we comprehend that the only language Nigerians understands was the sound of the guns, not English, neither Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo.
Today, whatever be the choice, Nigeria is enjoying a borrowed PEACE, because all is still not WELL with our communities.
But because we (South-South) have gotten that Political-Space which was the paramount of the Agitation,
we bear Peace, even if like briefly a badge of honor for conservation,
we urge to continue in the table of dialogue rather than resolving our differences with the dawdle of the sword.
But this PEACE is like a glassware being entertained in another man's house, as we continue to experience "Religious-Intolerance",
"Tribal-Raspberry",
"maim & killings, by
Boko Haram in some parts of the North to make other people feel small,
or lure the Military for a possible coup to conduct elections at their own wish & return power back to North, as this will secure their
OIL BLOCK LICENCES that'll expire 2016.
We have suffered humiliation lodged between greed & decoy since Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan came into power as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
A humble, committed & God-fearing President who should have been given the opportunity to build a new Nigeria for the younger generation,
this old disgusting power hungered anthropophagites had kept the side of violence, folly & disunity.
What happens after Jonathan's 8 years,
I believe you'll be careful to outline the answer?
I know Nigerians are smart, unpaved & thoughtful people, am certainly going to look forward to enjoying your answers, this Country is in our hands,
the wine is in your bottle, either to pour it, or you save it.
