The FG owns the NDDC so who is to blame if they don't act? When corrupt people are put at the top for political reasons, what do you expect? NDDC appointments are made so as to have cash cows for elections 19 Likes 3 Shares |

NDDC fund and other fees like 13% derivation and other taxes did not go down the drain jare. Just that the larger portion of it was used for personal businesses and the rest were used to fund militancy of different groups for supremacy, powers and to destabilize any government of the day. When i was in bayelsa under the late depreye alams, i knew that there couldnt be any tangible thing that would happen even if they control the whole foreign reserves. A man that was alleged to have modular refineries in venezuela then, but cant build such in nigeria. Despite the official allocations, what about the major crude oil stealing? still where are the monies and why not used to develop their regions , even if not interested in developing other regions. Na hotels and brothels and guest houses full everywhere even more than residential buildings. Infact It was only ministry of finance ( to collect monthly salaries without doing much) and education(because the then commissioner was no nonsense) that was really active then. All others were just figure head. All the workers, including teachers in the creek just do nothing. School closed by 10.30 am and or mostly before 12pm. If you ask them, they will say, na our oyel money, we dont need to work to get our shares. in summary, it is their mentality and foundation and their leaders capitalize n their weakness to siphon the money while giving them next to peanuts. 53 Likes 6 Shares |

The masses are the real stumbling block in the progress of this country. $40 billions and nothing to show for it and we are still asking government to continue with dialogue with this criminals called avengers. And these myopic leaders or traditional leaders could not hold those saddled with authority in the last ten years responsible. I weep for niger delta, if lagos can make use of the resources at her disposal even with allegations of corruption from Tinubu and fashola then Gej needs to be questioned or else niger delta will remains like that for eternity. 55 Likes 4 Shares |

Islie: Sometimes when I see some people blame the FG for current situation of the Niger Delta, I will just smile. What has become of the $40m? And I hear someone say the FG appointed those who headed the NDDC. Let him answer: who headed the agency? Na one clueless man from far North abi? Did the FG embezzle the money? And the 13% federal allocation, na my grandpa dey collect am? Instead of fighting the corrupt governors and reps they have, they keep blowing up their land... and the FG didn't cease to give them what rightfully belong to them. Thank God we all saw the breakdown of federal allocation to individual States from May 2015 to date. If Biafra gets Independence today, I'm 110% sure say their story no go change. Their leaders will keep cheating them and I won't know who they (Biafrans) will put the blame on. This scenario is quite similar to that of a child given two loaves of bread. He keeps crying and complaining that the his portion is too small. He wants the whole bread whereas he hasn't even eaten the loaves given to him. 54 Likes 2 Shares |

The minister gave a contrary opinion than what was intended. NDDC is a federal govt. Agency, headed by people appointed by the federal govt. The ND people should be asking the minister how the money was spent. 2 Likes |
