Okpai community in Ndokwa East is a host community to Agrip Oil Company, Delta, where the company manages the largest gas plant in sub-Saharan Africa.
National Daily gathered that the community demanded 50 million naira for the death of a crocodile during the process of company’s operational activity in the area
It was learnt that the incident occurred on Friday,18 of August, 2017.

A source told our reporter that the crocodile is a deity in Okpai community which they believe on and worship which they commit their affairs annually.
Further gathered that the community has stopped all the activities of the company in the area until funeral ceremony is carried out to appease the god of their land.
According to the source he said before work will start in any of the Agrip site the crocodile must be given a befitting burial to avoid disaster in their community by ancestors.

Go tell that to Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar.
That is why we want total resource control, from there we can diversify.

Did I hear someone said their "god" was killed by bulldozers? grin

Poverty-drown people.

If their god could be killed, no wonder they are living in penury and shanties.

hahahahahah
Hardworking indeed.
stop using the word Niger delta, because that includes abia, which have one the most hardworking people. rather use South south, because I have never in my life seen humans lazier than those people. Just open a business in Rivers before u know it they will form 10 unions on top of ur business. Go and find out why wilbrox folded up. Go and find out the first location dangote wanted to build his refinery and why he abandoned the place. In the near future the synonym for laziness will be southsouth.

If Buhari could budget #2m yearly to kill and give ordinary rat a befitting burial, I see nothing wrong with giving out #50m for a huge animal like crocodile.

Just consider the casket of a rat and that of a crocodile.

It should be an Iguana, not a Crocodile. The Iguana is a sacred creature to d people of that area. Nobody is allowed to kill them. I am from that area

Companies and their staffs know these rules. Each community in the region have their diety. A chevron staff will never kill a fish in the river in their area of operation. It is against work ethics.

Electric cars do not need special roads and will be charged by solar soon. Are the villagers the ones enjoying the petroleum money ?

Asking for that 50M is all they gain for the oil being exploited from their land and the pollution they live on. Even the worship of reptile is just their faith. Since it works for them, we have no reason to criticize them.

50 million? Their dead deity has indeed provisioned them. But how long shall the FG and these IOCs continue to throw crumbs the way of these poor host communities? The drive should be towards total eradication and annihilation of poverty. We can't keep going this way. It won't work! P.S. That money will be mismanaged by a "chosen" few. If I hear burial.

Some who aren't from these communities would support their actions, if only to prove how the communities have been deprived and the government negligent.

Yet, this actually implies that the oil companies are heavily involved in CSR, environmental protection and due compensation when they fall foul of laid down rules of engagement.

For me, this buttresses the point of those who see these shenanigans as being responsible for death and indeed lack or growth in previously thriving communities such as Warri.

Continue applauding the gong of the funeral.
