Vorp:

Akwa Ibom's budget allocation alone is more than the revenue of many African countries and even Ghana yet they didn't really do anything with it except the stadium.

Vorp:


I know,but presently they are not doing enough compared to some state and their size.

GBTYO:

So they should give it to your rascal governor to handover to thiefnibu

You people have no sense at all

Chiaka:


They doing well. The truth is the wealth from this regions have been carted away for long to service Nigeria as a whole while the regions get ignored. These governors stated building from next to nothing in these state......which is far from a fare thing do do. More more needs to be given to this regions to bring them to speed. The oil regions in Nigeria a suppose to be like the Dubai of Nigeria because that where almost 100% if Nigerian wealth is gotten. I don't blame them when they talk of going there way........because Nigeria has been truly unjust and unfair to the oil producing regions. How can you explain what a refinery in Kaduna is there for? should be close to source of raw material

eCollynzo:
That is exactly what is happening.
A place like Eket has more Yorubas than indigenes.

Vorp:

wetin you dey yearn?

GBTYO:


For well over 50yrs you parasites drained the resources of the ND neglecting the region and its people and devastating the enviroment.

The ND only marginally began to control some of her wealth from 2006 with the passage of the 13% derrivation which you opposed.

Don't worry when we pull out let me see you complain on how we spend our own money

Parasites

Vorp:

Waste of sp*** you are.

Pazienza, vorp, ecollynzo
First of all, I support an increase in the amount of money invested in the Niger delta region.

My issues with resource control is based on two facts

1. Should offshore oil and gas be regarded as Niger delta resources?

2. Is increasing the amount of funds state governments receive necessarily going to have an impact on the people?

The first point is a topic that needs to be debated (I.e. Onshore/offshore dichotomy)

As for the second point, I feel an insistence by the Niger Deltans that more refineries, power plants, schools, etc, be built in their region by the federal government will be much more beneficial to the people than simply increasing their derivation.

trillville:


Your example is quite funny, what if the resulting flood not only affects the Niger delta but also anambra. So anambra should suffer the flood but get no benefit? How do we decide the impact of this your imaginary flood??

We are talking about ownership here and now who is affected by flooding. Why should the Niger delta claim to own resources in the Atlantic Ocean?

Again, if there is a virus (disease) in the Niger Delta, and this virus spreads to anambra, why should anambrans suffer the effect of the Niger Deltan virus but not benefit from the Niger Deltan oil?

GBTYO:


Start planting cocoa you useful bastard spermatoza

trillville:


Even if the Niger delta were a country on its own, Nigeria could still claim the resources in the ocean.

For example, the state Alaska is a piece of land only bordered by Canada, yet is part of the United States of America. The Reunion island is off the coast of South East Africa after Madagascar yet it is part of the French Republic.

So what right would the Niger delta have to claim what is in the Atlantic Ocean?

pazienza:


You mean, even Niger and Chad can also lay claim to the Atlantic ocean, since they are neighbors to the North, and indirectly Nigeria, right?

Nigeria can only lay claim to the part of the Atlantic ocean that borders Lagos and Ondo states, if Niger delta were to be an independent country of it's own.

trillville:


Yes
The only thing stopping them is the Nigerian army.

This brings about the question of civil war. While it is morally justifiable for resources on land in the Niger delta to be considered Niger delta resources, will the western world also support the idea of the resources in the ocean belonging to the niger delta? What happens in the case of a civil war. Winner takes all

kmariko:


The united states we so copy, oil is owned by individuals, corporation and families not by states.

The communities where the oil if found are the rightful owners. The family where the oil is found are the rightful owners.
The scenario you just painted is merely to fly a kite and see where it lands.

Resource control is not about Niger Delta as no such entity exists. Resource control is about fiscal federalism and reducing the overbearing government at the center..

This is one of the major reasons the PIB has not been passed. The issue of ownership of offshore wells.

Nigeria is a land of the absurd!
When GMB won the allocation Osun State governor was quick to start advocating for more allocation to his state;
It only leaves me wondering what his state countributes to Federal government purse. Stupid demand!!

SW governors like Fasole and that rascal Aregbe keep demanding for more revenue from the central govt.

They hinge their claims for more money on the fact that the current sharing formula of 52% to the FG is too large.

Ask the ediots how the FG gets so much revenue which is primarily from the proceeds of Niger Delta oil and they will keep mute.

You want more at the expense of another region.

Full resource control and an exit from this useless nigeria is what we demand

Operation 12 Monkeys

No more free food for baboons

Chiaka:


If you are from that region you will not be here saying this Nonsense!!

texazzpete:


I'm a Nigerian first and foremost, but also from the Niger Delta. The problems of the Niger delta would not be this bad if they had made better use of the allocations they'd received...

Even a simpleton like you should be able to thing these things through logically, for once.

Chiaka:


Most Off shores are within the Niger delta deep waters , both developing and siting refineries and giving their state government more fund to develop the region will do a lot of good, the regions have long been ignored and taken advantage of.......how do you explain lots of Non oil state indigenes, northerners etc owning oil blocs while the indegenes themselves have non.....this cannot happen any where else in Nigeria, even the northerners will not take it.......and when militants act they throw their dirty mouth all over them. We should start doing the right things for the peace of all. Return the oil blocs and let the communities where they are found own them ....that's the only right thing to do nothing more.

Chiaka:


Off shore wells is owned by the states that owns the waters.

The other regions just have to look for other sources of income if they hate Boyloaf and the resources from his region.
Chikena!

edogirl2:


I agree, but the only way for ND to have full control will be to extricate itself from Nigeria.


Is there an appetite for war right now? And with the type of leaders in the ND, what's to guarantee a ND country will ever be like Dubai.

edogirl2:



Please tell us what your state contributed to the Federal purse before it started producing oil.

Let us negotiate a higher derivation, you say no. It must be resource control.


But when asked how you will achieve it, you people fall silent.
