Sister, ur dullness is epic. There re many educated pple from Delta and neighbouring states who re well employed in the oil companies. Get a good education and see if u won't be employed.
Half of the people making those ignorant comments have never stepped foot out of their clans and have absolutely no idea what happens in the niger delta.

It is not my duty to help you use your own brain and wisdom. All I can do is to help you think, regarding the question I asked earlier, those youths who vandalised shoprite warri, does that help or damage the economy of the city? ... Just FYI in case you aren't aware, shoprite isn't an oil company, they are just foreign investors.

So what do suggest they do? Since violence is not the solution, can you kindly suggest a solution? And in your blackmail, you don't even address the injustice. This is like beating someone and also trying to direct him how to cry and how not to cry. This is the height of intimidation.

It is called a 'wake up call'. I wouldn't help you use your own God given brain. If you choose not to wake up and use your own wisdom at least as an educated and enlightened person, you are free to keep sleeping. You can as well join the uvwie youths patrolling the streets looking for companies, shops and businesses to extort money from on a daily basis. When the companies refuse to 'tender', you are free to brutalise the personnel and vandalise/loot their equipment. By 12 noon, you can also join the boys roaming the streets from one company canteen to the other 'obtaining' free food; after all the companies are making free money in your community while you have no job so it's your inalienable right to harass the investors.

After all that, when your eyes are momentarily opened to the damage done by the justified acts of 'fighting for your rights,' you can easily blame Hausas and Yorubas and Igbos for taking away the investors from your hitherto thriving land. Meanwhile you are free to keep waiting for me to help you use your number 6.

Every resources under the ground, in the air or sea belongs to FG according to the Nigerian Constitution and as at the last time I checked, it has not been amended.

Deal with it.

What was your corrupt Mandela of Otuoke looking at for over 5years that he could not change the constitution. If we call him Clueless now, you will be getting angry over the truth.

There are representatives of the ND in the house of reps and assembly. Why can't they take up this fight too? They call on UN, does UN support violence. There was once a ND president and all he did was to accumulate wealth for himself. So what are we talking really? Like I will always say these militants are only making life worse for the poorer citizens. The rich will always have their ways.

Why can't Ur people give us @ least 1 million Tonnes of Cocoa in a year, these guys were giving us 2m barrels of sweet Crude oil a day baba. Sweet Light Crude Oil, thats what Nigeria survives on. It's the dollars U earn from Exports, U can use to import. Majority those consumer goods we imports are bought by Petrodollars. Vandalism happens everywhere, even in Lagos pipelines. How about Boko Haram massacring people? How about Fulani Herdsmen? How about Armed Robbers? Even riots in Jos Kaduna, Kidnapping in south East.

that is what you get from a defunct educational system. People that can't tell what the law says. I think that is where the problem we have now started from and that's why some people can be talking ancestral father's land.

did you read the post properly. I for one have worked for billionaires from ND whose monies are from oil business. Greed and laziness is a reason for the present state and until that is addressed amongst the youth. There can't be any development.
Which region lacks greedy and lazy youth? Are the almajiri and wider Hausa youth paragons of hard work and discipline? What about the omonile and Yoruba area boys? Have you used them as a yardstick in dealing with their regions? Let's all say the truth. If there was absolutely no reason for militancy it wouldn't exist, as it is however the born to rule hegemonists and their slaves continue to fuel militancy by action and inaction.

Why should we export that much when Ondo's oil contribution can achieve same for us. Now we can also add Lagos and Ogun is loading.

have omo onile driven investors away? Militancy, terrorism scares people away. Do you wish that warri becomes a desert town like borno. Do you wish well for your generations. Why has omo onile not driven dangote away? Why Is it that oil companies left warri but are still in lagos? Keep shooting yourself in the feet an expect to walk tomorrow. Do I have to be lazy because almajari is? What is thinking??

Nobody asked for your sympathy. Just leave their resources for them. Period. These people have been cheated for too long.

Give them resource control, things might remain the same for them, but the rest of Nigeria, it will never remain the same

This is the first thing the Niger delta has to contend with. Resource control most likely wont change a thing for them because the money will just fall into the hands of a few crooks. Though I feel the development would be better but not inspirational.

However the rest of the country would suffer severely for it.

When a big mistake was made in the past, it will take a very long time for it to be corrected.
what where they doing when oil was found in their region and they did nothing to control it.
What where they doING when other regions started investing in and eventually controlling their oil
what where they doing when other regions where educating themselves so as to manage the oil
the fact is that the root cause of all these wahala is laziness and too much sapele water.

now you want to control resources when the other regions have seen the benefit of controlling it
you want to control resources without any sign of ability to control it.

The sure result militancy:
people will die, 90% from the agitating region, the level of their agitation will determine the number of death.
money will be lost, the controlling regions will lose more but not for too long
people will surfer, but the agitating region will surfer far more.

at the end of the whole wahala, the best that would happen will be probably 2% increase in their derivation. The other regions will never allow the Niger delta control their resources, that is the truth!

and don't think Ipob will be a better deal, if they are in charge, the situation not be different.

it is quite unfortunate that the militants do not put into consideration the adverse effects of their actions, but it is even more humiliating that some Nigerians, and Niger Deltans are still ignorant of the fact that the south has been obviously exploited in the past few years

the revenue hub of the nation for the past fifteen years if not more have little or no infrastructure, poor education system to mention a few

if the FG had put into consideration the ND youth maybe the so call militants would be in the military by now
maybe the hoodlums that attacked shop rite would be in their place of work
maybe just maybe

now I'm not saying they are right to rob shoprite or bomb pipeline
but we cant ignore that fact that the FG was wrong for all those years

its like using a tool without maintaining it, you should know it will stop working one day
and you will have to repair it
