The Marginalized South- Southern NIGER- DELTA by poundlander: 2:49pm On May 30, 2015
Oxford dictionary defines Marginalization as treatment of (a person, group, or concept) as insignificant or peripheral:
The South southern Niger-Delta states consists of Rivers State (5,185,400) Delta State (4,098,391) Akwa Ibom State (3,920,208) Cross River State (2,888,966) Bayelsa State (1,703,358) Edo State (3,218,332) and a collective populations of 21, 014, 655.(http://www.informationng.com/2009/04/nigerian-states-by-population.html)
The states; Akwa ibom (135. 84bn), Rivers (99.67bn), Delta (95. 77), Bayelsa (82. 04bn) Edo (30. 27bn) Cross river (26. 50bn) collectively receives a whopping allocation of N470. 09bn from the Federal Government between January- June 2014. (Many thanks to 13% oil derivation formula).
The region has 2 special ministries; Ministry of Niger-Delta Affairs and Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC specifically setup to alienate the suffering of the people of the region. Also, it was reported that the amnesty programme which has been engaged in the training of youths of the region at various institutes in Ghana, South Africa, the Philippines, Russia, Ukraine and India, amongst others, has gulped $1 billion since 2009. The amnesty programme should be a holistic plan to be vigorously pursued to provide the Niger Delta region a face-lift and empower the people, especially in view of the failure of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) and the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs to justify their existence.(http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/05/niger-delta-amnesty-programme-and-fgs-1b expenditure/)
Comparatively, the North West, the alleged region marginalizing the other and most populous region of the country with a population of 35, 786, 944 receives an allocation of N255.98bn from the Federal government within the same duration. (https://www.nairaland.com/2244965/revenue-allocation-states-nigeria-fg).
Conclusively, the “marginalized” Niger-Deltans has a per capita allocation of N22, 408. 17, while the ALLEGED marginalizer, the North West has a per capita allocation of N7, 152. 89. A paltry 32% of per capita allocation of the “marginalized” Niger-Deltans. The Niger Delta deservedly merited the whopping allocation allotted to the region for being the region where the largest revenue of the country is being generated. But they are no way MARGINALIZED, in fact the TWIST is, they are just an OLIVER.

Who called the northwest the marginaliser? Is the Northwest now the Nigerian state? By the way what is the contribution of the Northwest to that N7,152 per capital allocation.

sometimes i can't but wonder why some people have problem with comprehension.as clearly stated in the piece, nobody question whether the Niger Deltans contribute greatly towards Nigerian economy, but only asked whether they are really MARGINALIZED, as their elders and leaders made it to look.

You failed your own thread. You questioned their allocation undecided, my question to you is what you are contributing for your own allocation. Then we can put your marginalisation nonsense in context. Next time prepare your brief well.

Dear dark Baboons and dark Monkeys from the Zoo aka nigeria, gormless monstrous Olusegun Obasanjo took your [size=18pt]$16 billion[/size] to buy you electricity, he stole all of it, gave you back a lantern with no kerosene, you thank him, and call him Baba. ‪Foolishness of highest order, only can be found in the Zoo(nigeria).

Brainless Jihadist Terrorist Elect Buhari aka Buhari stole:

1. The $2.8 billion he stole as Petroleum Minister in 1977 and

2. The ₦45 billion naira he embezzled while supervising the PTF on behalf of the kleptomanic Abacha regime..... The Baboons as usual elected him their President,...Allah has not started punishing you dark Baboons.

clap for yourself and do not blame me and please, stop nauseating the world with your low IQ! you dark baboons are a complete waste.
