SonOfEl: He is a nationalist that prevented the compromise of national integrity and sovereignty of the Nigerian State, at whatever cost. That is patriotism. The same way Ironsi demonstrated same to crush Adaka Boro's dream of Republic of Niger Delta. When you are talking, talk with facts and figures. Shows us evidence that authenticates your claim of northerners killing Adaka Boro. If you are basing your claim on your tales by moonlight story, then my version of the tales by moonlight story says Igbos killed him, for fighting on the side of Nigeria. How about that? 4 Likes |

superstar1: i know the game u are trying to play, it childish...but believe it or not, it was adekunle, a willing tool in the hands of northerners that killed him. Type 'Gamji+who killed boro? ' on google and help yourself. |

Kennywills7:U are my brother, however I have some reasons to differ with you. Firstly, every business considers a number of factors before siting as well relocating, if that has to happen unfortunately. I have a bit of difficulty understanding what is right about Jonathan belatedly ordering the relocation of a private investment or those scallywags, that stumbled into civilization post-1980's, issuing threats. If we feel entitled, then a justifiable battle would be to resist the reference to the whole country as 'host community' by the HoR in its amendment to the PIB draft. Except we secede, we must learn to negotiate 'rights' from the owners of Nigeria (North), in its present configuration. 1 Like |

SonOfEl: I am not playing any game, just following your line of thought that glorifies Ironsi for preventing secession and selectively demonising Gowon for preventing same. From northerner to Adekunle? The finger pointing keeps changing. Before there could be a killing or murder, there must be a motive. What will be the motive of Adekunle for killing Adaka Boro? Let the world see the strength of the motive that can warrant Adekunle killing his compatriot at arm. 3 Likes |

Chiaka:Let's agree with u that asari got "little". Question is what did he do with it in terms of positively impacting d lives of his kin? If he got little, y did he take it 2 benin republic and not invest in ND? Or do u think its N1,000 he used in building his university in cotonou? What about tompolo who has a private jet. Is it "little" u use in buying and maintaining a private jet? D president acquired a 700hectare land in abuja and he said its meant 4 farming. Y didn't he acquire such a land in bayelsa 2 help d people there? U feel outsiders have an obligation 2 develop d ND, when d indigenes don't even care. It doesn't work that way. Niger deltans must begin asking their leaders 2b accountable 2 them if not nothing 3 Likes 1 Share |

superstar1: again, childish comparisons. Boro's people were not molested, raped or killed, it was only his fellow militiamen that were attacked. Also, not all ijaws supported boro, because there would have been an open demonstration by niger-deltans if there were. Adekunle-Awo were enemies of the eastern region, so they became willing puppets in the hands of their northern masters. |

SonOfEl: Another round of balderdash. The root discussion is not killing or rap.e etc. It is secession. Adaka Boro tried to secede and Ironsi crushed it. Ironsi's people tried to secede too, Gowon crushed it. Simple. The same way Ojukwu and Zik were enemies of the Western Region. They were willing tools in.the hands of the Balewa and Sardauna against the West and Awolowo, before their relationship went sour. 5 Likes |

superstar1: are you these shallow? Do you hear seasoned pundits comparing boro's militia to biafra? Biafra's case was genuine and urgent, because of the continuous progroms and genocidal tendencies against them. Same cannot be said about boro. Biafra came as a result of humanitarian crisis at disturbing proportions while that of boro was simply share of oil. Stop deceiving yourself. |

lexy2014: why not Benin republic with the set of vindictive governance that we have. the first thing government does here is seize peoples property ones they got probs with you, except you are well aligned. I praise his openness his region has been milked for century and little goes back. Also the ones that have taken crazy what impact have they also done in their home land. So Asari is now government that develops places..............well why not ask Dangote or other Nigeria multi-millionaires to use their money to build their region or fund Nigeria. |

Chiaka: Do you understand what is being discussed here? Which other company will grab it in Nigeria at present? The alternative for now is for the thing to be done abroad. The company cannot pack and leave. It is legally established in Lagos. The IOCs that gave it the contract knew it is economically beneficial to them and Ladol has the capacity and capability, it is not a favour. As some posters asked, why are the people shouting about this not complaining about other imported inputs in oil extraction or insist that helicopters being used should be fabricated in Ijawland. Let ijaws set up a competing company that will win the juicy contracts then they won't have to complain about Ladol. 4 Likes |

Re: Oil Platform Fabrication: Ijaw Youths Draw Battle Line by superstar1(m): 4:25pm On May 18, 2015 |
SonOfEl: Really!!! Who is indeed the shallow one here. Biafra's case is genuine and Boro's call for Republic of ND was not. That is being selfish. Yours was based on humanitarian crisis (using your words), while his was based on resource control. The bottomline is both were tending towards secession, based on what they believed was genuine to them. The same way you are making us to realise that Adaka Boro's call for session was not genuine, is the same way we have been telling you that your call for secession was not genuine. Period. 5 Likes |

SonOfEl: Really!!!!! Have you not heard Dokubo and other ND militants always making reference to Adaka Boro, in respect to continuation of his struggle? I am not vindictive in anyway. Just making you to realise that whatever makes the call for Biafra genuine is what makes the Republic of Niger Delta genuine, taking into cognisance an Ibo man, Aguiyi Ironsi, crushed the dream of reality of The Republic of Niger Delta.

Kennywills7:Oh well! We could find some point of convergence then. For me, it's only some legislation that could engender some measure of fairness but then we are at the mercy of the north and has always been united in short-changing us, since they are a majority in the NASS. U saw how they effectively shot down the proposal to increase derivation at the Confab and how, last week, the HoR made the whole country 'Host Community'. Nonetheless, it would be wrong not to demand accountability from our elected officials as well as agencies set up for the development of our region because mismanagement by these players would never justify our agitation for a better deal. As for employment, the owners and managers are at liberty to set the requirements, even if it doesn't favour us because it is their business! 1 Like |

superstar1: dokubo and co were babies when boro went into militancy, however, they (boro and co) still did not represent the general consensus of the nigerdelta people in eastern nigeria (efik, ogoja, ibibio, kalabari, igbo, etc). As at then, the oil allocation btw lagos and eastern nigeria then 50:50, not what we have today at 85:15 between nigeria and nddc |

What a con job. The crude oil rig was fabricated in Lagos thereby creating jobs for the loudmouths in southwestern Nigeria. Yet it will be used to extract crude oil in Niger Delta. No wonder certain jackasses in Nigeria will readily develop convulsion at the slight mention of disintegration of the cesspit called Nigeria. |

agrovick:I totally disagree with you, we have good number of akwaibomites that graduated with good result under petroleum, mining, e.t.c.but because they don't have people at the echelon their are being frustrated out. Imagine your father's company being managed by a stranger and that's the only assets left by him before his death and the profit is being given to you in crumbs simply because you don't have access to know how things are benign done. That's the case of Niger Delta region.

Chiaka:D north isn't crying despite d suffering there. When they start crhing marginalisation, then I will tell them what am telling u now. Charity begins at home. D FPSO being built in lagos is a private investment. If ijaw people can't query asari 4 taking his own private investment outside d region, then what moral authorIty do they have 2 accuse outsiders of neglect?U no a mans intentions by his actions. if d interest of asari was his people and not him, then he won't b bothered about any "vindictive govt". His focus would b on using his resources and position 2 uplift d lives of his kin who he claims are being oppressed by outsiders. Asari is not govt, neither are d oil coys asari and niger deltans always harass 4 water, electricity, roads etc. Its not d responsibility of oil coys or FG 2 develop any state or region. That is d responsibility of d states, LGs and their state and federal legislators. Its not true that little goes back 2d region. Find out how much has gone in2 d region since 1999 from 13 percent derivation, monthly allocation, allocation 2 NDDC and ministry of ND, taxes and royalties that accrues †☺ states and LGs, allocation 2 legislators and u will b amazed. U will b dazed that d real neglect of d region is from d leaders of d region not outsiders 3 Likes |
