The next time someone tells you to blame the Kings and Chiefs in the South South for the undevelopment, ask them if the 'Third mainland bridge' was constructed by the Oba of Lagos.

The whole country is undeveloped.

Benita27:
The whole country is under-develop.

That's all you have to say?
Okay we want the same level of underdevelopment lagos / Abuja has

These places you mentioned are major cities, you shld add PH to the list bt meanwhile, they all have slums, bad roads, and are still filled with extremely poor citizens.

Nigeria is a developing country, and it includes all the 36 states in it.

Lets watch as Buhari makes Daura the new Dubai.

You are missing the point and I suspect it is intentional. Its very common that people blame the lack of infrastructure and general backwardness in the South South on the Kings and Chiefs who they believe collect huge sums of money from oil companies. Now read my first statement again to see if you get where I'm coming from. I'm not here to argue about what state has poor citizens and what state doesn't. The general area where over 70% of the country's resources is sourced should have federal presence in terms of infrastructure

NDDC has collected over 2.5 trillion in the last 15 years
The 13% derivative is over 5 trillion in the last 15 years...
If after 7. 5 trillion is given to the leaders of the Niger Delta and it's still under devoloped who do we blame??
7.5 trillion is enough to turn that region around... And it's no bodies fault that we have fo*ls leading us

another mad man on the loose,if the third mainland bridge is given you sleepless night,contact NDA to blow it up.

Every Nigerian is to blame, but the North and South-West moreso!

delivered to those that sired u

The major bulk of blame goes to the previous military leaders and the rest to the state government. If the then military leaders were sincere in their policies towards the Niger delta as can been seen in the development of Abuja and Lagos. I don't think we'll be having this debate.

I don't agree with you, why not look at it this way. A very large family has a stream of water and someone comes and seize their access to the stream then poured some drums of water for them and their family but after using a part of the water for house chores like cooking, scrubbing and other things amid sparingly (and not as thoroughly as it should be because the person sharing water to the cleaners and cooks kept some portions and the cleaners and cooks also kept theirs, ) the water doesn't go round to the whole family to drink and bath, though the parents and elders of the family in charge of the water kept surplus for themselves. who has the highest degree of blame here? the outsider that seized the stream, the parents and elders or the workers?

You guys and Lagos receive the same amount of water.

Lagos is using it to bathe 20million people, you guys are struggling to bathe 6million people with the same quantity of water.

The truth is no matter the quantity of water you recieve, you guys will remain dirty........... till you solve the problem you have within which is leadership and orientation.

Stop comparing Lagos with any other place in Nigeria. Lagos was developed from the same Niger Delta oil by the FG. Compare Lagos and Port Harcourt, Calabar, Uyo that wasn't developed by FG and see if Lagos is doing wonderfully well as you people make it seem. And nobody has the right to seize your thing because you are not maintaining it well. Can I come to your house and take away your car because you are not giving it proper maintenance? stop supporting evil and say the truth. Niger Deltans don't want your pity on the bad leadership. no part of Nigeria has good leaders.

What are you people doing with the money you recieve....... apart from stockpiling arms and ammunition.


Lagos is unveiling new projects everyday, Ogun, Anambra...... even a poor state like Osun is unveiling projects.


What are the richest states in terms of allocation doing with what they recieve?

You guys have not displayed maturity to handle resource control in any way.

Who are you to ask what we do with our money? to you all the Niger delta states don't unveil projecs, so that gives you the privilege to come steal their resources but when they face the problem associated with oil and the bad bad environment where they live in, you'll be in your village enjoying. Go to an ijaw village and see what they pass through. You'll be in your house talking nonsense.

How much %of oil revenue do u think the Niger Delta should keep

.

They own the oil They suffer the problem from the oil alone. Even if they don't suffer any problems, it's their God given resources. What Nigeria should be debating now is the % of tax states should be paying to the FG, oil producing and non oil producing states and not some useless derivative.

Fear

Islam is popular in d North and in turn the populace wanted sharia n their leaders gave it to them at the expense of national unity. Watch them fight for grazing like it sensible, so I think u guyz need to raise leaders. Still wonder y GEJ didn't attempt the resource control thing. That's all you need bro not amnesty, ND ministry, NDDC ...

[color=#006600][/color] What is the source of your information?
Assuming the amount of money you quoted is true and correct, I would like to ask you these question.
1, is it the Niger Delta Leaders that asked the Federal ministry of transport / maritime or NPA not to site a sea port that would encourage economic activities in the Niger Delta? rather for unexplained reason chose to retain Lagos for the said purpose even when there are obvious features suggesting some coastal ND towns/cities would make better sea ports than Lagos
2,Is it the Niger Delta leaders that asked the Federal government not to make any reasonable effort in pushing the multinationals to re mediate the pollution in the environment? When spills occur all the government thinks about is how to resume oil lifting and not our Environment.
3. is it the Niger delta leaders that told the Federal Government that the creeks in the deltas forbids bridges like the third mainland bridge in Lagos?
4 is it the ND leaders that have made constant power supply difficult to achieve despite the amount Obasanjos govt claimed it put into it?
5 ,is it the same Niger delta leaders that just told the Nigerian Government to recruit 250 people into the Nigerian army with or without WAEC ? note no Niger deltan was considered for this illegal recruitment exercise yet we produces the revenue. they called them civilian JTF, how many of our niger Delta local vigilante groups have been converted to army/soldiers since the history of Nigeria?
The tactics of inciting people of Niger delta against their leaders(not saying they are completely innocent) is just too poor when there are clear indications that the Federal government is inflicting more pains on us. if they leave you guys you would blame the ND leaders for lack of oxygen in the grave.
we need resource control in ND, with that we can confidently hold our leaders accountable for their actions. the pains of permanently loosing my limited land and waters to pollution while the money is being used to develop other parts is something that cannot be tolerated without crying out loud. I would like you to go read about the NDDC's challenges , achievements , failures and source of fund. you would find out that by design , NDDC gets only 15% of its Funds from the Federal Govt, 50% from NDDC state govt as ecological funds, while the rest from multinationals. please if truly you are from NDDC, like you claimed, know it that the greatest weapon of the oppressor is the Mind of the oppressed and that liberation can only take place for those who understand they are in bondage

..

Niger -delta?
OBJ and IBB are as cunning as a fox.
They were stupid when the handed over OMPADEC and NDDC and Niger-delta ministry to the Niger deltan themselves to under-develop.
themselves.
There and then, they wouldn't turn around and blame someone from outside the region.
"NA WETIN WE GO CHOP"
This is a common sentence in the region.
Una don chop una future.
For the guy complaining about the terrain and the water bodies, have they built on the land that exists?

Bolustic:
I won't take the SSers serious until they can explain the REASONS:

1) for the inability of Bayelsa to pay monthly salary despite having just 8 local government areas, normal monthly allocations, 13% derivation funds, taxes from International Oil Companies,immediate past President(GEJ) , immediate past petroleum minister and one time transport minister(Diezani)?

2)Why there was no money for salary but there were monies for gubernatorial election in December 2016,

3) How Tompolo had 37 billion naira in his account, how Asari managed to establish a sport Academy and university in Benin Republic, how Boyloaf and other militants became billionaires over night,

4)Why chronic looters like James Ibori, late DSP Alameseigha, Igbinedions are being deified,

5)Patience Jonathan was a permanent secretary and first lady at the same time

6) Why Seriake Dickson said Bayelsans, and by extension, SSers are lazy.

Please quote me with fact and sense.

'Quote me with facts' like this crappy list is based on facts
From your list I'll assume you're an APC apologist
1) the APC gubernatorial aspirant endorsed my 'Mr integrity' took series of loans running into several billions, which the state government is still servicing. The allocation gets cut even before it gets to the state government and the terms of the loan ensures that if payment is stopped before completion of payment, you forfeit previously paid amounts...the last part of your first question is very stupid, no offence...what does having a former minister or President from the region have to do with anything?

2) Buhari claimed not to have money to buy the presidential nomination form, but went on to carry out one of the most expensive campaigns in the history of Nigeria... Extrapolate from that

3) you were talking bout "quote me with facts".I'd like to see Tompolo's statement of account since you've seen it...let's talk facts. I guess Private universities are only meant to be owned by the likes of OBJ and Atiku?

4) I'd rather you ask yourself why no Governor from the north/west has ever been charged with chronic looting even in cases where it is obvious e.g Tinubu one of the biggest landlords in Africa. These people must be saints.

5) patience being perm secretary is the cause of underdevelopment in an area where oil was discovered over 50years ago? Kwantinew

6) another stupid question that should be directed at Dickson. Bayelsans are lazy yet they show up for work even when owed over 5months salaries

The whole country is under developed not only South South

Thank you
