It surprises me when people keep saying go and ask their governors and their senators for their money.
For your information the level of development in the Niger delta now was done by the people through their governors not through the federal government. If you have been to the niger delta before the advent of OBJ civillian regime and then you go there now, then you would know that the governors in those region have tried, would you talk about akwaibom, cross river,rivers state,edo state,Ondo and even bayelsa that had no road after years of fending for the nation.
I am not saying they have done superbly but they have brought life to their people at least when you start counting fast developing states in nigeria before you count one single state in the north you would have counted at least 3 from the niger delta

How much is the yam, cattle or tomato contributing to the federation account?

And how much is oil contributing to the same account?

You run your cattle, tomato, yam, other agricultural businesses and mining yourselves. Let the Niger Deltans run their oil businesses themselves and pay taxes to the federal government where applicable.

Is that too difficult to understand?

See the woman speaking with anger..
In the first,the masses are not benefiting from the oil money..it is been looted among you politician....now he dey pain them as them no see awuf money to share as usual...
Niger delta avengers,continue jare...

bashydemy:
They should continue? Have you forgotten they are destroying their lands? Like the man said before oil the country exist so they should continue and later when they finally destroy their land, they will be crying to the govt. well so many of them have done it in the past and where are they today? Asari dokubo did the same and when he was paid he never invest the money in his region not even in the country and they never blame the bastard.

ChrisGnarly:
Mmmmm!! In the North, illegal mining is going on everyday, even NTA will be proud to interview d illegal miners!! Bt in d niger delter d oil is own by d FGN while other natural resources in d North is owned by d states and d masses!! We ar waiting f morrow, it must happen!!!
For this idiotic Benue man talking trash, when d time comes, u will know where u belong!!

DeCleff:


If not for the destruction of farmland due to oil exploration, who will look northwards for food?

We can produce virtually everything we need to survive even without oil.

We never bought food from the north even before the oil was discovered but we survived. The oil is just a plus.


The same people who invaded our land through military rule, came in and destroyed our farmland so we can depend on them for food.

If an annual revenue from crude oil sales is invested in different sector in the Niger Delta, do you think we'll remain the same?

May be you need to start using your brain.

China, Japan, Britain, Germany...nearly all world powers dont have oil.

So why have they not gone extinct?

Please solve for x

tammie24:
why is oil different from the other resources

What makes it different?

The oil is for Niger Delta

Just the way other resources in the north belong to the Northern states

Millerz:
the bolded is what y'all use in consoling yourselves. Global oil prices fluctuate all the time, its no news. It is worthless but still our major source of revenue that would be used to fund the budget.

NB: Oil will never be as worthless as yam!! [/b]

anonimi:


And that includes the FERTILITY of the northern soil that makes yam grow there.
The fertility is a RESOURCE just as oil is a resource.
QED.

SANDOSKI:
At a point, we in Benue challenged them that okay,’ let them go and drink their oil, we would eat our yams and then see who will survive.’.........
