Ogoni land and rest of NIGERDELTA areas are supposed to look like Dubai of today after decades of billions of dollars crude oil and gas extraction from the area.

Instead, we see too many more modern cities emerged in the north of Nigeria deriving from the myriad number of states and local government councils proliferated in the north by northern soldiers to suck back oil revenues to north.
No federal country in the world had its federating units (states, provinces, regions)) derived using land mass as criterion - as it is in Nigeria.

Clean-up is good but not enough. Return fiscal federalism to Nigeria is the answer.

That you even had the mind to type this foolish comment should bring shame to you. The derivation fotmula in use has always favoured the SS and yet you guys have not made the necessary advancement .

You should blame your leaders. With the kind of money that has flowed into the oil producing states you are right " it should be like Dubai by now"

Kano is like so because kwankwaso decided his people deserved better, Tinubu and Fashola decided lagos should love up to it's billing, I've heard of good things in Akwa , bit when the SS keep apologising for Ibori and Alameiseya you know the people are sick

This is a gud development from d Govt bt giving d job of cleanup to a consultant while their is a Govt agency (NOSDRA) is a waste of resources and opportunity for Nigerians working in such agencies to gain a life time experience dat will be beneficial to the country in a long run. It is high time we stop deliberately making our own Govt agencies redundant by making a few consultant billionaires n holding d nation to ransome at the end. My opinion though.

while criticisms are welcome to put a govt on its toes, wish it be rather constructive...Nigeria is still a country and we are so seen by the whole world...many of us in lagos are self made men,we didn't necessarily get help from our brother..a good thing is a good thing irrespective of who made u successful..a new govt is in charge,pray they offer us a better life....Nigeria has all it takes to reduce poverty cos we are rich..all these bickering are retrogressive...what has d empowered so called few from d niger delta done for their people...our people are first our problem before we start blaming others..life can b better, dont let no one use religion or tribe deceive you...it's a choice but remember people are succeeding everyday, u either join d train or u continue whinning.

"Instead, we see too many more modern cities emerged in the north of Nigeria"


which "many modern cities in the north" are u talking about? d major cities in d north are kano and kaduna. kano got its reputation and status because it was and still d economic capital of northern nigeria while kaduna was d political capital of d north in d first republic. every other state capital like maiduguri, bauchi and sokoto (second generation capitals) are no different from any other state capital in d south. do u want 2 call "jalingo, yola, gombe, gusau, damaturu, dutse, kebbi "modern cities?" bros abeg, your allegations are wild

Yes. They're ungrateful and parasitic. They contribute almost NOTHING to the system while they wickedly created leaches in numerous local government areas to loot and drain us. And that's why they keep working hard to ensure the SS and SE doesn't fully unite and end this miserable parasitism.

"They contribute almost NOTHING to the system"...are u sure about that?

wish we had the ken sarowiwa's now...I wish...

Yes ooo. Selflessness is rare nowadays

Good one but PMB should also order clean up of his brother messing up our cities in search of pasture. Severally, I've seen Fulani herdsmen grazing at Mabushi interchange and Abuja city gate.
