Is Taraba a North Central state?

SpicyJosBabe:


Taraba is north east geopolitically, but it is culturally middlebelt and geographically Central Niger area.

Taraba is not core hausa north. It is minority tribes dominated.

Decibel:

SpicyJosBabe:


GeoPolitically south south, regionally east/south, culturally i can't say

For over a decade now, the Niger deltan region has been agitating for increased national allocation from the federal government due to the fact that their region produces much of Nigerian revenue from Oil exploration.

Niger state on the other hand which is a state in the Central region of Nigeria has 2 of the powerful water dams in Nigeria which produces almost all the hydro electric power being used for the whole of Nigeria for so many decades now.
Now, another hydro power dam is being built in Mambilla, Taraba state, central Nigeria, and this dam is built to be the largest Hydropower station in Africa which will increase power for the whole Nigeria......

The question is that since states in the Niger delta region are getting additional national allocation for their crude oil, what about Niger and Taraba states and their hydro electric power generation for the whole country??

Would they be wrong if they start a similar agitation?

OP, is Hydropower classified as one of the natural resources in Nigeria?

aventura:
Is hydroplant now a natural resource? Some people sha

SpicyJosBabe:



Waterfalls and all water bodies are nature's endowments. They can be classified together with Natural rescources.

but money was ploughed into the water falls in the creation of dams. It's not like the water fall itself generates electricity on it's own.

arewafederation:


Crude oil didn't just start gushing from nowhere, did it?

Money was also used in the exploration of crude oil.

I think this issue should be looked at critically by the people of North Central.

aventura:
money from where? And don't forget there are other ways of building a dam that doesn't invovle the situation of a water fall.

Actually the water originates in Guinea and flows through several states in Nigeria not one. At any rate the hydroelectric power plants are not the major contributors to power.
Kainji Dam was built on condition that a major chunk of power goes to Niger republic. If any of the countries upstream decides to divert the Niger what can we do about it

Valid question.

I vote Yes to teach those greedy things a lesson. All they seek is something/someone to blame their backwardness on.

tit:
the north should cease the electricity.
if i am a boy from there, i will go and switch off the electric till they pay us.
