Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by ericuzor(m): 12:21am On Jun 15, 2016 |
By Samuel Oyadongha Yenagoa—Chairman, Board of Trustees, Voice of South South, Mike Ogiasa, has said that only the practice of true federalism where the component units owned and controlled their resources and paid tax to the centre will put to an end to the recurring agitation for justice in the Niger Delta region. Ogiasa spoke in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, against the backdrop of the Federal Government declaration of a two-week ceasefire in the region to create room for dialogue with the Niger Delta Avengers and other militant groups. He urged members of the Federal Government negotiating team to focus on true federalism and equal participation among the states on the ownership and control of their recourses. He blamed injustice for the renewed crisis and violent activities being embarked on by militants. Source : http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/true-federalismll-end-militancy-n-delta-ogiasa/ |

I totally agree, let states control their resources. This is also strategic to the development of the Niger Delta, if their individual state government are wise, can promulgate policies that would Favour the people and bring employment to her people. |

Paradventure Buhari succumb to pressure and true fedralism is put into play no politician would be interested in the central politicis especially that of the Oil producing state. They would prefer to contest within the confines of the state than going federal. |

Agimor: That will never happen. Not under this administration, not under any APC or PDP government, not if the entire Niger Delta is flooded with oil from blown pipelines, not if the scAvengers blow up the entire region. Massive development and clean-up of the Niger Delta? Certainly. Weakening the Presidency and reducing the power at the centre? Never. Mark my word. |

TPAND:they already control their resources |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by mikolo80: 5:59am On Jun 15, 2016 |
Agimor:that is not federalism. That is revenue allocation. Less at federal more at state and local. But still won't develop Nigeria Just more looting |

fulanimafia:what if they bribe some middle belt(6 states) to vote for them. You know ALL politicians ALL are hungry bastards willing to sell their left nut or even their children for money |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by fulanimafia: 6:05am On Jun 15, 2016 |
mikolo80: The middle belt is more or less a geographical delineation. There is only one political north, which is united beyond politics. |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by mikolo80: 6:07am On Jun 15, 2016 |
fulanimafia:that illusion can be used strategically. Just remind MB that they are marginalised and one political north premise goes up in smoke. |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by fulanimafia: 6:11am On Jun 15, 2016 |
mikolo80: Who is marginalized? Those that have been heading the legislature and are most represented in the Armed Forces? The political north is impenetrable but don't take my word for it. Good luck with trying |

fulanimafia:hmm benue and Niger are not the only members o. Plateau adamawa Tarawa kogi NASArawa nko. We in kwara are Yoruba.it's only saraki that are claiming Fulani. |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by fulanimafia: 6:27am On Jun 15, 2016 |
mikolo80: We are all one and those divisions are only visible to outsiders, and the greedy ones/saboteurs amongst us are in the minority. Furthermore, I as a northerner consider myself one with a Yoruba man politically (not just within the APC), so Kwara being Yoruba is not an issue. |

South Nigerian leaders are cowards We went to national conference and the North bulled us into not recommending true federalism Infant we were more interested in more state creation that's the leaders will gain from than what benefits there people Read the confab report and u will be shocked they are the ones shouting for it to be implemented, the only thing is that oil producing are will get 17% instead of 13% that's it, the rest favours the North as far as am concerned Back to the topic, ijaw youths are lazy and will still fight if no money enter there hand.... I tell u if every ijaw youth is paid 100k and no Road and no water and oil spoils the whole bayelsa no body will shot a bullets |

That's true |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by ImpersonatorSS: 7:21am On Jun 15, 2016 |
fulanimafia: By the time there is no more money to share in the centre, your eyes go clear. |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by ImpersonatorSS: 7:27am On Jun 15, 2016 |
mrvitalis: Amnesty is just a temporary solution to the problem. More and more youths will ask for amnesty and those who are already enjoying it will ask for a better package. True federalism remains the true final solution to agitations in the Niger Delta. |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by fulanimafia: 7:29am On Jun 15, 2016 |
Shewunoshewa: Impossible. Nigeria has other revenue sources, and will not stop oil production, regardless of the activities of criminal saboteurs. |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by zendy: 7:36am On Jun 15, 2016 |
Anyone waiting for true federalism in Nigeria will be waiting a long time. It will never happen. The reason is that the North depends heavily on Government revenue. The North will fight vigorously to see that true federalism is not implemented. So where will the 'true federalism' come from? True federalism will mean constitutional change, which will mean debating it at the NASS where the North will vote it out. True federalism will never happen in Nigeria |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by ImpersonatorSS: 7:37am On Jun 15, 2016 |
fulanimafia: What are the other revenue sources? Sabotage so far has led to N725bn revenue shortfall monthly and made the implementation of our budget impossible. Many states cant pay salaries. So what's your point? |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by fulanimafia: 7:42am On Jun 15, 2016 |
Shewunoshewa: Shewunoshewa: My point is that saboteurs will be flattened completely, and production levels will be restored at all costs. The 2 week ceasefire called by the military ends on June 20th if you haven't realized. This is while the FG and some state governments are developing other economic potentials like agriculture and solid minerals to create more sustainable and less volatile income sources in the near future. This government cannot be blackmailed. |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by ImpersonatorSS: 7:42am On Jun 15, 2016 |
zendy: By the time the country grinds to a halt economically and there is no money to share, the NASS and north will have no choice but to support true federalism. |

fulanimafia: So before the "ceasefire" what damage were the military able to do to the NDA? You just stay in your mud house and type nonsense on your stupid chinco phone |

Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by ImpersonatorSS: 7:54am On Jun 15, 2016 |
fulanimafia: Has the govt completely flattened Boko Haram in the NE despite it not having any impact on the economy? How do you think there will be a military solution to the Niger Delta agitation that directly affects the economy and revenue generation? |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by fulanimafia: 7:55am On Jun 15, 2016 |
kcnwaigbo: Unfortunately due to failure of previous administrations to diversify from oil making it our only national source of income, neither can your state survive without federal allocations from ND oil. Parasite of the 5% specie. |

fulanimafia:Is Agatu considered a part of this North you're writing about? Just asking. |
Re: Only True Federalism’ll End Militancy In N-delta —OGIASA by fulanimafia: 8:00am On Jun 15, 2016 |
Shewunoshewa: Firstly, yes they have been flattened because they are unable to take or hold territory, which is the very definition of an insurgency (invading force). Secondly, yes it's very possible because while revenue generation might temporarily suffer (as its doing now), the military solution will restore sanity in the region with force even if it means occupation or a declaration of state of emergency. Production levels will eventually be restored. |
