Why do those states have less militant activities less than bayelsa, rivers and delta states. Even their citizens are more matured that you will hardly think that they are part of ND or oil producing states especially Cross rivers and Akwa Ibom states. Even with all these agitations, you will see them hardly paticipating in it. I want to know why?
@lalasticlala Mynd44

Because we are wiser... Our lands are important to us, we farm from it and drink our water. Because we also know that if we have a government that is not listening to us today, another will tomorrow.

those word in bold format are the reason why.

Its simple, there are few to zero ijaw people in those states.

Thank me later.

I concur!!!! #IjawTooLazy

I can only speak for the Edo,
One reason is that they are more sensible than the rest ND, two their youth is mostly into cultism, ticket collector and agberoism, and lastly they are the weakest when compared to the rest Niger deltas.

Ijaws will only be satisfied if the oil money is shared among them monthly, unless u do that they won't be happy
They believe since they have oil, the are so blessed working is a waste of time

So that's the main problem,
Even in Delta, the urobo, ishekiri and Delta igbos hardly make any noise about our oil

Becos our Oyel people no dey there
Our Ijaw brodas
Their governors no dey chop alone

OP guess you're a little ignorant about this subject. we can hardly say Edo and cross river are ND States, even though they're in south south.
How many oil well are in Edo and cross river? oil well in Akwa Ibom state are mostly in the shallow waters and eket.

I don't support violence in any form. But these people are suffering, amidst to much wealth from their region. Just one visit, your mindset would change.

there are. but the ijaw ones have been the most notorious


i just see this as a payback. if only bh had given goodluck peace who knows


unlike bh who dont affect the nations income. nda have already put the budget in jeopardy

You are so wrong with your ascertion. Almost the entire South Central Nigeria once paid tributes to Benin kingdom.

@OP Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Edo are not Niger Delta. They are only in South south as a Geopolitical zone. Niger Delta comprises of the Niger tributaries which is inhabited mostly by Ijaw ethnic group and other smaller ethnic groups like Okrika, Kalabari, Ogbia, Abua, Andoni, Bonny who are all closely related to Ijaw.

Apart from Akwa Ibom, I dont think the other states are oil producing states, so there's really nothing to agitate for.

Nonetheless, its wrong to castigate the people of the rest states by the actions of a collective few.

Kudos to Akwa Ibomites for being the highest oil producing state and with the least issue of militancy.

Akwa Ibom Ayaya


PS: those that think Edo youths are more matured than other states probably dont know much about many Edo youths.

Boko Haram was never a political strategy like NDA. Boko Haram is a religious extremist group and even deadlier than NDA and was never targeted at Jonathan as many have insinuated. The war is still on even though largely won by Buhari government.

No sane man will encourage the NDA nonsense and its possibility of leading to unnecessary war and killings for no other reason than the loss of Jonathan at the polls.

Because historically, the Ijoid people just like their Igbo neigbours have always been a much more republican people who have hated imperialism from the word go. If we remember, the Ijaw and Igbo nations fought the British. After the British left, they continued fighting Nigeria. The Efik/Ibibio nation have been more docile. But from what Im hearing amongst them, things are changing.

There's no single oil well in Eket

The reason I that most installations are in the waters and areas where there are shallow water wells especially Ibeno and Mbo, the people have been cowed into silent by government back police intimidation. In Delta, Bayelsa etc you can see a big man sponsoring those youth but no single man in Akwa Ibom is buoyant enough to fight government. 95% of millionaire there are government people

Its because those other states(Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers) have been the most exploited and neglected.
Too much oil money given with nothing to show for it.
Besides, Edo and Cross River are not really Niger Delta.

The more the degredation, the more the anger and militancy. Their lands are simply less polluted .

Ok noted. But let the agitation continue.

My friend shut up there , when you talk of lazy,.Akwa ibom is the headquarter, bizness mood zero, I am from Benin and I know igbos owns must biznesses in uyo; all you do is sit down and wait for government to pay or share money; akpabio did all he could but your people couldnt adjust , I wonder why most house boys and girls are from there and you have the guts to talk about Edo.

In the contest we're looking, Niger Delta comprises the oil producing states which are nine in number. Apart from the six South South states of Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Cross-River, Edo and Delta (BRACED); Ondo (South West) as well as Imo and Abia (South East) produce oil. These nine states have the NDDC carrying out projects in them.

Hahaha, some read but clearly can't understand.

1st of all, I never said I was from Akwa Ibom, neither did I say youths from any of the aforementioned states are lazy. I only praised Akwa Ibom for low issue of militancy despite being Nigeria's highest oil producer.

The lack of understanding and anger in your response already proves my point about the average Edo youth being 'more matured' than the average youth of other states. Smh

Ijaw don't like imperialism and even fought the whitemen more than any group in Nigeria? You're a liar. No group subjugated themselves to the whiteman like the Ijaw. They went to the extent of droping their names and adopting those of the Europeans. The Europeans be said to have conquered them "nomenclaturally." Today, among the Ijaw you here names like Bruce, Briggs, Dickson, Long John, Aggrey, Jonathan, etc.

Op you must differenciate among
"south-south" "oil producing states" "minorities" and "niger delta region"

except for political Niger delta, the Niger delta region cut accross only three states, Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta states
