Niger Delta: What Is The Problem?

That lunatic "ono" calling for bombings in Lagos, thinking that will bring the state to its knees?? Its obvious u havent lived in Lagos, such action will only trigger a defiance among lagosians & a door- to-door killing of Niger deltans in lagos. After that we'l see who would be forced to repent.

Desist from making such idiotic statements in the future. If Ndeltans can't blame leaders like Alamiesegha for their problems, then they should shut up & stop isolating themselves from the rest of Nigeria.

Someone who called for the bombing of innocents is calling someone else short-sighted and shallow minded.

The irony is unbelievable!

Guys,now that the constitition amendment talk is over,what next for Niger Delta?

I am not a Northener. I'm not even muslim. I should really say something about your ignorance but, I won't.

did all northerners kill partook in the cartoon riots?

 If peace can't solve a problem engaging in violence will never solve it in a million years. The members of MEND (what an irony as they are busy destroying!!) should concentrate on their corrupt governers and leaders, they should kidnap them instead of innocent foreigners, and innocent peace loving Nigerians!!!!!!!!!

They are just lazy people who use sentiments as an excuse to cause and forment trouble, they are given 15% of all the total oil revenue, their communities are developed, they pay them outrageous entitlements, if oil companies are awarding scholarships, they are given special prefrences but still yet they refuse 2 go 2 school, they prefer 2 kidnap innocent people who are just doing their job because they went 2 school. And yet they say they are deprived. what do u call that kind of person>   Simple they are called OLIVER TWIST

Maki,
Just leave them. Our elders say sometime it's better to remain silent to answer a question. The wise understands that statement perfectly. So, let them bark away. It's their time to do just that. No point joining issues with them.

@chxta
Indeed you are living in the third rock from the sun. So much so that you have been blinded by the sun's radiance and you cannot see the things that are plainly laid out before your eyes.

I can assure you that your generation will not pass away before the Delta arises from the position that it is today to the great and enviable position that it is destined to attain. Its sons and daughters will be sought after in every corner of the world for positive reasons. Its bickering and oppressive neighbours will behold the splendour and grace with which its affairs are conducted.

You are therefore at liberty, in the present deispensation, to blame whoever you want for its troubles.

However, I insist that the Delta is not looking for handouts, allocations, pity, sympathy, trouble, projects etc from any body or group of people. Rather it is seeking, justifiably so, to empower its sons and daughters by taking an absolute control of its resources, liabilities, fears, joys, pride, future and consequently, charting  a prosperous future for its  present and future generations.

nnna bros chxta easy, easy,  but bros owo nobody sane believes that d niger-deltans cannot and should not progress,i believe d resources within d area is not evenly distributed in uplifting d plights of d inhabitants as well but, BUT u guys must realise that ur leaders must take responsibility to a degree for d wanton deggradation seen now , why? because dey have failed at dere level to alleviate d suffering of dere people by providing infrasttructure,upgrading d already infrastructure e.t.c. should i give u e.gs of hw ur leaders abuse state funds? igbinedion threw a party for his fathers birthday in 2 continents and paralysed d administrative workings of edo state ,odili spent state funds in buying a jet which will nt impact positively on d life of d masses,attah in his first term preferred to offer patronage to cronies in form of contracts which were finally either shoddily done or abandoned,alams tried, oh but at d end of d day he was caught wit his pants down,wearing a bra with a fists full of govt funds he was trying to launder abroad. and d list keeps going on and on. wouldnt d ideal tin be to hold dese leaders accountable to a great degree for misuse of d already laid down resources before fighting for d other one?

and it will still rage on infinitely until,

In the short term
The military loses patience and goes on the rampage.

In the long term
Enough corrupt politicians are purged from the system.

those 3 kidnapped were filipinos, another german was kidnapped from B & B so its 4 in total; the truth is that the politicians will quote $2m as ransom and arrange the boys like $1m and then say no money changed hands. That is why it still continues unabatted. For the records no kidnapped expatriate has been killed or injured.

thanks.

Those state governors who are yet to render the dividends of democracy should be arrested and sent to jail.

thank you for coming to that realisation otokx
