stop consoling yourself... why is oil price affecting the economy if it's just 12%?
because it's all we export. but we can survive without it. just no more imported stuff

Those folks talking rubbish here. Was it not with moni from agric that was used to build the oil sector? Mumu...
On the other hand, if the greedy leaders from Niger-Delta are truthful to the common Niger-Deltan, u will know that Niger-Delta is really taking much from this county's pocket..na them them dey chop the heavy allocation. Abi na only Ijaws be Niger-Deltans? Na the illiterate ijaws dey form this wahala. Rubbish...without yam, can u work to produce the oil? Let Lagos begin their exploitation, na then una go shot up..

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
well all I know is 100 naira was allocated and I can only see work of 1 to 10 naira. but the money was allocated same as every other state plus nddc and these ppl blowing shht up will be settled and zero development will come to those not ready to fight for their share. last time 26,000 militants were settled, apart from the ogas that got billions. what about the other 10 to 20 million SSers, who will fight for them

Rexyl:


I think if this your calculation or assumption is right many States won't have been indebted by now, and shouldn't have been waiting for the statutory allocation which is more than 90% based on oil from the FG.
they cannot but be indebted cos governors are just hiring party members that we cannot afford to pay. 50% of poverty is still poverty. what is our GDP. divide it by 160 million and see that we can barely afford to feed ourselves (Agric). don't be deceived if you are middle class majority of our ppl in the villages are not enjoying the scanty amenities you are (light roads water schools hospital etc)

why can't we allow every region to control her own resources in Nigeria?
Re: Waku: "Drink Your Oil, We Would Eat Our Yams", Arewa Chieftain Tells Niger Delta by kingkator1: 1:36pm On Jun 06, 2016
I think it is better to allow every region to control her own resources and import the resources that they don't have in that particular region.

God bless you brother also not forgetting that the progress of any economy is measured by the value of her per capital income. If the GDP is divided by the number of the population, you'll find out oil has been a curse to us rather than a blessing. So NDA should please continue to blow up the Cursed temple of oil and force government to get serious and stop looking for easy money and zero economical progress and of course bring an end to this stoop!d "our oyel" bullshit.
For God's sake there are loads of countries without oil and doing real fine. Take a look at Canada..no oil, no explorable natural resources but they're doing very fine. What is wrong with Nigeria and Nigerians. What spell are we under?

Agric contribute 50 % of GDP. oil 12%

Infact, let the FG ban all oil exploration/activities till further notice. Oil companies shud go. This will enable all us to looking elsewhere since oil exploration is polluting the environment.

Even if the oil is left for the Niger-Deltans, won't they kill themselves over "who is the majority?" Ani una feel say deltans especially love themselves? If not urhobo and itshekiri today, it will be Ijaw and itshekiri. Make una go sleep jare. Na una go still run to FG make them settlement una tribal differences wen una don kill una selves over the oil finish if left to control ur oil. Or do u think Ijaw will allow another tribe produce the next governor after now in Delta? The old tribal war with soon arise after this.

They will sell the oil and buy your yams. You will probably import petroleum products from them if you don't have or import from a more expensive country in the Persian Gulf.

All those countries you mentioned are not landlocked, the middle belt and north are.

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?

Per the bolded, back to sender!!!

****you don't know the Niger Delta has 5 other states apart from Delta state?? Have you ever heard of Calabar or AkwaIbom or Rivers being ravaged by militants??

Not one oil company have relocated from Rivers, Bayelsa or AkwaIbom or Calabar so pls eat your dry yam and leave us to our oil. Edo and Delta are the highest produces of Cocoyam in Nigeria.,did you know that??

We also have access to international waters, but you and your are was will be landlocked. Pls worry about thatm
allthingsgood:


Really?? After driving away all the oil companies, investors, ruining your farms and rivers, who will come to ur aid? Take it from me, u will beg for back of yam to eat, u no go see!

Those militants u are supporting are super rich already, they can afford to flee. But who will come to your aid when u can no longer fish or farm, who will fix ur roads, schools and hospitals when u contribute zero to national economy. Now u will feel what it is to really live in squalor. Somalia go resemble paradise compared to niger delta

We don't want any help from FG. It is a simple task...leave our oil alone. Let the Niger Deltans manage their oil. Go and plant your yams, tomatoes and all...we don't need it.
Re: Waku: "Drink Your Oil, We Would Eat Our Yams", Arewa Chieftain Tells Niger Delta by Nobody: 4:08pm On Jun 06, 2016
You are so clueless. Urhobos alone account for about 60% population of Delta state.

With their oil, they can buy your yam 1000 folds. What is yam. N/B before your oil exploration destroyed their environment, they were producing enough yam, cocoyam, fish, rice etc to feed themslves
