YULETIDE: Oil Communities Reject Agip’s Goat,10 Bags Of Rice by maxism2: 1:36pm On Dec 29, 2014 |
There was mild drama in Nembe communities of Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa over the offer of a goat and 10 bags of rice to the elders and people of the area by the management of the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NOAC). The offer, meant as Christmas gift to the host communities of Nembe Kingdom, was, however, turned down by the people through the Oil and Gas committee headed by Chief Nengi James Orioworio. LEADERSHIP gathered that the people of the oil rich Nembe Kingdom were angry because the gift items of a goat and 10 bags of rice was meant to be shared by the people of the communities and fishing settlements headed by a one-time minster of Power and the Amanayabo of Nembe Kingdom, King Edmund Daukoru. Confirming the development in a statement issued yesterday and made available to newsmen, the Chairman of the Nembe Oil and Gas committee, Chief Nengi James Orioworio, described the gift as “a corporate embarrassment to the traditional institution and the good people of Nembe Kingdom which the people will never take kindly”. Orioworio recalled a meeting with the General Manager District of the company when he visited King Edmund Dakoru, the Amanyanabo of Nembe Kingdom alongside his management team where issues of corporate social responsibilities were addressed. He noted that for Agip to give 10 bags of rice and one goat to a community of about 500,000 people is a clear demonstration of the crass insensitivity of the multinational company to the community which is a major hub of Agip’s operations. James stressed that the people of Nembe are a contented people who will never be cowed by any Greek gift that will cause disaffection among the people of the area. According to him, Nembe Kingdom is in dire need of development and employment for the teeming unemployed youths alongside environmental protection. He warned that if this issue is not properly handled, it could affect the harmonious relationship and peaceful coexistence between the company and the community. http://leadership.ng/news/398338/yuletide-oil-communities-reject-agips-goat10-bags-rice 5 Likes |

Greek gift; but if it's to give bribe and 'Aka-Azu' to GEJ and his govt officials, they will be doing it in billions of dollars. Nonsensical nonsense. #VoteChange2015 24 Likes |

For how long will these niger delta communities keep crying foul over everything?? During the emancipation struggle, the federal government rolled out billions of naira for the developement of these communities (NDDC), yet their leaders squandered it and still didnt provide good roads or jobs to their people. FINE. Amnesty was granted; this Amnesty turned the likes of tompolo, boyloaf, ayiri, et al to overnight billionaires, if not trillionaires. YET THEY STILL CANT PROVIDE JOBS AND GOOD LIFE FOR THEIR PEOPLE. LEFT TO ME, its high time these oil companies start ignoring these ND communities or give back to the communities directly and not through their leaders. Shame on niger delta leaders. 32 Likes 2 Shares |
