The senator talks as if his opinion counts for anything. If it doesn't sit well with him he can make his own nomination

dejavski:
With all the neglects that we get from federal appointments despite our own contributions to this country th least this man can do is to appoint our own son(ilaje) to the board.

It makes no sense to me that an owo man will speak on behalf of the ilajes/ijaws in the oil producing regions on the board of the NDDC.
Are they telling us that we have no competent person from our side Haba!!

Just imagine. Is Buhari saying he can't find a competent Ilaje/Ese-Odo man to represent Ondo state on the NDDC board. What an aberration. How can an Owo man be representing the interests of Ilaje communities in Ondo state. This is how we have always been sidelined in the politics of the state and at the federal level,despite being solely responsible for the huge allocation Ondo state is earning,otherwise Ondo state will be in the class of the likes of Osun and Ekiti in terms of federal allocation. Same nonsense Buhari did when he made an Ikale man the Minister for state for Niger Delta Affairs when we have Ilaje people on ground.

His opinion counts. The nominees must be confirmed by the Senate. He has a vote during the confirmation process and this is part of his campaign to get other senators to support him.

macolino:
Even the one representing Imo State is not from oil producing area.. Senator Osita Izunaso.Buhari should learn to respect the law.

Did the law state it that the person must come from the LG where oil is produced or from the state where oil is produced...

whotiedthegoat:
Maybe they don't have literate people in those local governments, because fishing to them is what herding is to Fulani's

Your statement is an insult to the entire populace of Ilaje/Ese-Odo LGAs and I don't blame you. It's nairaland I blame for giving people like you a platform to showcase your stupidity. These are LGAs with appreciable numbers of academics with PhDs lecturing in various institutions across the country and successful people in the industry and all walks of life. By the grace of God, I'm from one of the LGAs and I'm a masters degree holder striving for a PhD. If that doesn't count as being literate for you, then I'm sorry I can't help your daftness.

An inconsequential minority vote. The nomination will scale through whether he likes it or not

This is sweet nonsense.

I thought that everyone, including Buhari, is corrupt.
Why don't you find something else to say so that you can be taken serious?

let's watch and see the season films in Nigeria present administration

GenBuhari:
This is sweet nonsense.

How do you mean, sir?

This NDDC is zoned by state oil producer....

Let the distribution of wealth continue...

There should not be monopoly of Resources until the country is divided real pieces of units.

Eat and Let Others Eat....

una just dey read una own upside down.is Owo in Oyo/Osun state now?.OIL PRODUCING STATR NOT LOCAL GOVT AREA. I tire oo

dejavski:


Really? Then why can't the entire Ondo students apply for the undergraduate Osopadec scholarship if it applies to the whole state

It is called ondo state oil producing area development commission. This is within the state my brother. So there's no comparison

This NDDC is zoned by oil producing states not oil producing community or kindred ....

Let the distribution of wealth continue...

lol.
Why take life so serious? You should have noticed the irony in the write up

Pls don't prosecute me. Since the inception of democracy, ilaje ese odo has always voted for PDP. Even the current senator representing the area is PDP. So why do you wanna reap where you did not sow

Where is Senator Yele Omogunwa of Ondo South to agitated for his people? A bench warmer senator. Omo ALE!

I cannot make sense of what you posted.

anonimi:


How do you mean, sir?

lafuria1:

Help me ask o,
It clearly says states, not oil producing village,
The people appointed are from the state, the senator problem is that they are not from the village or town the oil is sited which is unbelievable because that isn't what the law says.

Oga. The NDDC is an INTERVENTION agency created to address problems of infrastructural and socio-economic deficit in oil producing communities across the Delta. Can you know the problems to intervene in if you are not from the communities. Can you speak their language. Do you understand their culture. Can you sit at their town halls. Will they listen to you. If you can't then what is the point, the objective of the NDDC.

YourNemesis:
lol.... Only one tiny local government (Ukwa West) produces oil in all of Abia? about 2 teaspoons.
I thought IPAD said all of Abia is a massive untapped oil tanker waiting to be explored...... mofos.

How does ur comment relate to the news above. Hate reduces common sense.

EmmaOgbu:
Mr Senator, EFCC, DSS, Police, ICPC, and ARMY will soon visit you. Don't run away.

and is that a good thing? So he can not speak his mind again abi, because the tyrant is on the throne. Mtcheww

It is not for DISTRIBUTION, the NDDC is for INTERVENTION. To address problems. It is he who wears the shoe that knows where it pinches.

[size20pt]I meant distribution of personnel opportunities not contracts...

If one area get the appointment this tenure... Than another area should get the next slot...

Say no to monopoly[/size]

Udmaster:
The Title Of This Thread Is Misleading. Lalasticlala do something pls.
Abaribe is talking about Abia Own while Ilaje People are rejecting the Ondo nominee.

exactly. the title insults the Senator's intelligence

BlackSeptember:
Ore is in Ondo state but its not an oil producing community. Stop spilling your ignorance here

He/it/she is a programmed robot designed to counter anything that opposes Buhari.
Their number one mission is not to understand before arguing.
They are about 100 of them on nairaland.

Ask questions if you don't know something instead of ignorantly dabbling into issues you don't have much information on. The act establishing NDDC, NDDC Act 2000 section 2 clearly states that representatives of the states constituting the Board of the NDDC shall be indigenes of oil producing areas, and that is why people like the respectable senator and eminent lawyer Adegboruwa are taking up this issue with the FG.. I'm sure you don't know more than them.. emphasis is on oil producing areas not state. That is why other Presidents before Buhari have never made this stupid mistake of nominating anyone outside Ilaje/Ese-Odo LGAs to the NDDC board, but as the tyrant he is, he has again demonstrated he cares about the rule of law as he had done with his other skewed federal appointments.

Our president making the same mistake over and over and over again.
When is he gonna learn

Vikings007:
The law said an oil producing "state". Provided they are from that state, I think PMB has done no wrong. Abi na oil producing local govt dey the act?

Section 2 (1b) provides that ‘one person who shall be [b]an indigene of an oil [/b]producing area to represent each of the nine oil producing states, that is, Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross-River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers’ The nominee must come from an oil producing area of the state. That's the law.

You are the one that is stupid. Appointments are nominated at the state level by the party, and sent to the president. The president has no hand in nominating candidates. The problem is directly from the state level. I wonder how some Nigerians think sha.

Or are you telling me that the president knows all those he appoints in his government? Hell NO!!!...

Bolustic:
Same Senator Abaribe called for PMB's jugular; suggested the motion for impeachment. So sure DSS & EFCC will be watching him like a fish in an aquarium.

Senator Abaribe aka Otuonu, is a very strong man, you don't play with him anyhow, else, what you see, you take.

You must be a fool for quoting me and using the word stupid, when I didn't quote you in the first instance. I'm not on your level to join issues with kids like you.This issue has been in contention for about a week and the President is yet to change his stance or make any statement if truly he is ready to abide by the rule of law and make amends after it's obvious the APC in Ondo decided to err knowingly by picking an Owo man who's not from the oil-producing area. If you follow my comments, you'd know I'm not a PDP or GEJ-apologist but rather being on the side of Buhari until he started misbehaving lately.
