What did Jonathan did for that region at all? If someone from that region did nothing, dont blame the one from the north who is not doing anything. Jonathan was in the best position to develop that region .

The same Jonathan that you hated so much, the one you didn't even want as president, the Jonathan that you bombed and supported those who bombed him from day one? Abeg go sleep.

The problem of Niger Delta is not the government but the leaders and their elders!

I don't know if you stayed in that region before then you would understand what Jonathan mean by "stealing is not corruption".

Everyone you see making noise in that region are not interested in the well-being of the region but they only want to get their share of the national cake and relocate!

Jonathan was there for 6yrs, what was his achievement for the region?

Timpolo, Asari, boyloff, Orubebe, Clark to mention but a few, what was their contribution towards the development of that region? All those guys I mentioned are billionaires, how do they get their money?

ND should go and put their house in order
nnam okwu gi gbara okpuru (elder ur talk is wonderful) i remember late abacha, whenever he calls for community meeting from ND when their elders goes to abuja, they will just collect ghana must go and forget their people, ND should go and ask elder edwin clark, amaechi, orubebe, infact their leaders

The question I keep asking pple like you is, was it the people of Lagos and Abuja FG gave money to that made these places what they are today with Oil money or FG carried out massive devt and put policies in place!

How many times have we shouted for pple like you to hear that ND don't need peanuts given to few people from resources God in his wisdom blessed our region with?

Let FG on their own focus on ND developmentally.
U can not give few pple 1kobo from 1000k from resources u got from their place and said go ask ur pple.
The money FG shares is for individuals carrying out development for all is another thing.
This will only happen in the ND because I know,the west won't take it talkless the North.
Resource control and True Federalism was stopped in Nig immediately oil was found, have you ask urself why?

God Bless Nig.
The question is what has the Ministry of Niger Delta and the NDDC plus the 13% oil derivative achieved?

Asari got a whooping $10m p/a ooo, TEN FVCKING MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR PIPELINE PROTECTION CONTRACT UNDER GEJ.
That's 2bn naira a year, 2bn for 8years = 16bn for asari in 8 years of yar'adua /gej. N16bn!

Today ALL his INVESTMENTs are in Benin republic... ALL!

Then u wonder WHY HE CAN BE SHOUTING ND WILL BOIL, URGING NDA to continue bombing when HE HAS NO INVESTMENT there thus ONE NAIRA won't leave his pocket!

Later one ignorant niger deltan will tell me northerners sucking ND DRY.

When upon all bayelsa(with the highest allocation received) has no magnificent bridge in the state linking different areas when bridges (built by state govt full lagos) with high allocation and large population.

Bayelsans even import water from delta

My brother, please start minding your business on this ND issue like i have started doing.

I have come to realize that most people that come here to make noise for the ND have never even stepped foot in the creeks and see things for themselves.

The people themselves have an inherent problem, though the FG share part of the blame oo.

Even Orubebe's community, Ogbugbagbene in Burutu LGA Delta state, based on info from a good source, does not have a good link road to dryland.

Someone had just said the truth but, the ethnic blind covering our focus would not allow us to see and even understand. I also stay in ND, and I can boldly say the problem of Niger Delta is not the Federal government, it's just now that money is no longer changing hands that they want to react. How many ministry do we have for only Niger Delta?

We have NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, and all the PADECs (e.g. DESOPADEC, OSOPADEC, RSOPADEC etc) and money is being allocated to these ministries in every financial year. What can we show for these ministries? Nothing! . I reiterate that the problem of ND is their leaders and representatives. They are not after the well being of ND but, rather their pocket. Will a sane person pollutes his own environment and kill his people? I pity the region anyway. I stay on Bonny Island and there is no single road linking the island to PH. In my research, I discovered the road project was abandoned because the jetty business is the source of wealth to the leaders of the island, and because of that, they denied their subjects infrastructure and good road. The major reason why things I damn expensive here. Your leaders are your immediate problem Niger Delta. That's the ugly truth but they won't listen. That's my problem with them. Continue bombing you hear?

Nigeria as a country owns it a duty, to develop the ND for the sacrifices that region has given Nigeria. It is NEVER in our history to use another pple's wealth to go develop other regions all in the name of one Nig except Oil from ND.

I totally agree with the bold, let's hope when that day comes when we have a leader that can be bold enough to do this, people won't start screaming marginalization without looking at the big picture.

For you to quote GEJ and say "stealing is not corruption" shows that you are not sincere. Because that statement have been explained over and over again.

Sorry we all support and have soft spot for one political movement or the other and we all do so hypocritically. So that line can't hold water.. Finally, my earlier post still stands.

[size=20pt]The north or Federal Government did not cause the deplorable conditions of life in underdeveloped areas of the Niger Delta, but the Niger Deltans themselves are their own worst enemies.
They are very evil fetish people who believe in cultism and hindering the progress and success of their fellow villagers.
I am speaking from experience.

On Bonny Island for example, the Nigeria LNG Limited for the past 14 years has given them 24 hours regular power supply and water supply, but they have remained underdeveloped.

They fought against the construction of a bridge from Bonny Island to Port Harcourt, because they want their people to keep on using their canoes and speed boats every day.
A bridge will make the journey from Bonny Island to Port Harcourt only 45 minutes. But they preferred to reject the bridge and use canoes and boats to cross the Bonny Channel for two hours, because they want to continue making money charging N1, 000-N1, 500 per passenger on their overloaded boats and have caused the unfortunate deaths of many people in mishaps when overloaded boats capsized.

They will collect government contracts and jobs and misappropriate the revenue allocations.

The late political activist Ken Saro-Wiwa was a Commissioner in Rivers State when he was only 26 and many of his colleagues were young men and women. But what did they achieve with the big government appointments and contracts given to them?
They failed to develop their communities.

Former President of Nigeria, Mr. Goodluck Jonathan, PhD, was Deputy Governor and then Governor of Bayelsa State before unforeseen circumstances favoured him to become the Vice President and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. But what did he achieve for his community Otuoke and the rest of Bayelsa State? Yet, he misappropriated billions of both state and federal revenue allocations to enrich himself and his greedy beneficiaries who are the troublemakers still crying wolf today.[/size].
