hey Before you tell me to go and sit down, you have to take care of this Silly Ijaws that come here to abuse Ignos because of our alliance..

ogene007:

I'll rather keep my oil while you keep your useless pipelines. Perhaps the north and the southwest will pump cocoa and groundnuts through the so-called pipelines. Rubbish talk.

Emperor007:

Stop sounding like unintelligent chap, don't you know the Northern population ( + SW ) in the house?

Did you read the article on 1st page at all
? " Chairman of the committee, Mr. Ishaka Bawa, while throwing light on the recommendation, told members that communities with refineries or have oil pipelines traversing"

.

IzonOwei:
taaaa u no be any wafe,....no wafe go agree with that foolish adjusted bill...

Er0ticAngela:
So an ordinary sitting rep has more clout on the floor of the house than the deputy speaker who presided over plenary?

Abeg save me the BS. Emeka ihedioha is guilty, Emeka Ihedioha betrayed his people, blame Emeka Ihedioha. Leave the North out of your regional madness

OrlandoOwoh:

In Arepo, Ogun State, there is pipeline vandalization. If Jonathan feels giving OPC the contract to protect the pipelines there is necessary, why should the land not enjoy the PIB (cleaning up) when the pipes are vandalized or there is a spill? For me, just like PasshingShot, it should be 70-30. The Niger Delta should get 70% while others should get 30%.

BrokenTV:

Please stop correcting that girl Eroticangela she can never learn,this decision is way more above her understanding level.

PassingShot:


Not that pipelines cause as much damage as that of oil producing communities. But in a capitalist affairs, the pipelines hosting communities have a right to benefit from such crude as well. No one is saying equal right but a certain degree of recognition and benefits should be accorded them.

Fighting this cabal is not as easy as you think. These guys are rich and powerful with enough resources to pull down the country if they so wish.

The challenges in fighting corruption in Nigeria today has nothing to do with GEJ. It is a constitutional issue. The problem is the structure of Nigeria. This is what many folks do not understand. The present structure of Nigeria, currently backed by the constitution is the CORRUPTION afflicting this country. Do you know why reccurent expenditure of our budget at the federal level will always be higher than capital expenditure no matter how hard the authorities try to reduce it? Centralism (Socialism) which is Nigeria's current model.
Unless Nigeria is Restructured to reflect the principle of true federalism at all levels corruption, mediocrity and underdevelopment will continue unabated no matter who is in power.

Sibrah:
Greedy and unrealistic people like u are the reason the real oil producing communities are being sandwiched. You will always look for ways to demonise those whose presence and size make u insecure.

PassingShot:


I be wafe but we need understand say we all na one nah

Brugge:
Aside the environmental degradation, I am trying to find a document that allocated 10% to coal producing community in the 60s/70s, neither cocoa producing communities nor the groundnut producing communities as well. I am all for fair treatment, the issue should be how to ensure that the oil producing community are adequately taken care of in terms of prevention of environment degradation or salvaging the already degraded environment rather than making special provision for them.

EmpressDiva:
Even my backyard for Mowe/Ibafo na oil producing region/area and peoples. During the fuel scarcity, na so them dey bring oil come for black market with magic because I still dey find where them dey do am.

Though this's your personal opinion, but Jonathan was in power and position do make all those changes you pointed out. But, he didn't!.

betty202020:
igbos have not felt insecured and will not feel in future. My happiness is that no state in igboland will suffer what southsouth will suffer without oil. Mind you that southeast states are also oil producing states. QED.

CyberWolf:
Good morning Niger Deltans....The North & SW deceived you people that Igbos included you people in Biafra because of oil..The north and their ally has been killing and stealing your oil from time immemorial and just right now that it dawned on you people that you've been scammed, they swiftly moved to legalize it and they've succeeded. You people made a costly mistake by rejecting BIAFRA and Igbos so, your foolish mistake will hunt you people till the ends of time. The earlier you people realize that we Igbos want to build a formidable force with you to defeat your oppressors, our oppressors, and not because of your oil, the better for you people. Once again, una good morning oo



Moreover, the oil will soon finish and when that happens, this same people will cut out the Niger Delta from This Zoo (Nigeria)and throw them into Atlantic Ocean because by then, they are nothing but a useless liability..Some foolish ones are still roaming aimlessly on NL here...Niger Delta wake up ooo ...It's almost sunset..

Williamso:
This is wrong on so many levels. How can lawmakers be so myopic, self-serving and utterly silly to consider "states with pipelines passing through them" as host communities? The Reps that voted for the amendment of this clause need to pay a visit to a host community to see what we are suffering. Forking bunch of self-serving b@$tards!!!


I'm still a believer in One Nigeria, but I cannot accept this!!!

jorlons:

Oga we are capable of fighting for ourselves and we will. Niger delta will not trust any of the majors.
