[I You forget you mention you people in the brown roof location. They flood Lagos to forcefully snatch phones and bags at all bridge and bus stops. The men here in Ibadan are as lazy as he'll while the women beg at every Atm point across the city of Ibadan with babies on their back. The ones that manage to learn work will do a rubbish job for you then run away after payment without doing a thorough job. Incompetence is their name but what can anyone do. We must tolerate one another and not say stupid things about the other tribes cause somehow we are related by family ties. We are all good people just as we have bad people too so live with it before u die with it.

It is sad that the Niger Delta leaders, at every opportunity, love holding the other section of the country to ransome. They always love to armtwist and blackmail the govt by sponsoring militancy by arming their youths that were supposed to be in productive ventures. Even the most richest country in the world doesnt ask her people to que so that money would be shared. Everyone has to work.
They should not forget that the proceeds from Cocoa from the West and the Groundnut pyramids of the North combined to make the discovey of oil possible in the first instance. It is an investment that must be recouped.

Nice one......
That package is a SCAM that will never be accompliahed in 2050

what is this ignorant statement....

What the niger deltans wants is raw cash and not development. This has been the major reason for the underdevelopment of the Niger delta region over the years.

Any development plan is a waste of time, if GEJ could not develop his Otueke, who will? Next please!

I understand we have a problem of unity in this country, bt i never knew it has degenerated to Hatred.

Dude why na?? Am just wailing over a plan that is fabricated to keep the ND in Limbo without any true atom development. I am only stating the obvious here. I understand you are nt Frm ND, bt that doesnt gv you the right to hate d ND. The fact is if the $10bn is invested there it will better your own life indirectly as u may becum employed in 1 of d high paying gas industries, nd your power supply wud be improved, nd fuel will be cheaper for you, infact everything using fuel nd electricity will be cheaper 4 u. Instead of eating just 1 meal a day you may be eating up to four or as much as you want.

So sir, pls stop hating, this would get us nowhere. Who hate don epp.

i love this response... Epic, instead of coming down to his hate, u showed his reasons. I so love this, instead of dishing hate. Thank u so much

padi94:
Supported, why is government nt using money frm the oil revenue to fund the 10bn dollars project. This is a scam and ND wont fall for it

It is a pity that u guys are now so blinded with hatred that is now negatively impacting on ur reasoning.

What do u people want?

He started the ogoni clean up, u shouted and wailed for no just cause.

He is bringing people to invest 10b dollars to revive the infrastructures and u are still complaining?

Are u guys OK?
What did ur hero do for the 6years he spent as a decision maker?

Are u guys cursed?

If he tries to take those investment to the North, u will still shout.

The witches doing u guys are legendary

They better know that no single kobo of the $10 billion will be placed where they can loot it. Unrepentant thieves!

Good talk! But government is to blame. they created the problem in the first place, you think anyone wants to be lazy when they have meaningful job waiting in the morning??

Niger Delta oil is a spoil to be shared and used for the defelofment of all Nigeria. The offshore derivatives belong to Northern Nigeria with the largest land mass, the greenfield down south is for the grazing of our livestocks. We shall resist any attempts to restrict the movement of our livestocks to any place in Nigeria. Peaceful co-existence between herdsman and farmers must be fostered by the armed forces. Our brothers in the army will escort Herdmen around in opposition states to ensuring they are not harassed. We support one Nigeria and so the $10 Billion Niger Delta development plan must not be released before the same amount is released for the rehabilitation, development and resettlement of war torn North-East.

“At the end of the day, other Nigerians will say why complain when you have $10 billion and the money is not there in the first place. If the companies have such money, they should pay the money owed the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, rather than blackmail the region with such money,” they said.

Niger delta elders want to reject a $10billion private sector led investment drive that will create millions of jobs for unemployed youths and fast track massive infrastructural development of the region. Instead, they want oil companies to put huge sums into NDDC so that corrupt politicians running the agency can continue to loot, mismanage and share the funds dasukistyle to these same greedy elders.

I hope the youths who will benefit in the long run from the $10billion investment programme can see through the greediness of the elders and embrace the initiative.

I was about to say the same @ the bolded

Just look at their faces in the picx and u will know that they are hardend criminals,...who has no plan for we the Niger delta youths, but rather for their pockets.

Work will soon start in Niger Delta but that would be after the development of North East. North East Development is an emergency, the newly inaugurated presidential committee has been given a marching order on works to be done. Niger Delta will be considered by the 2nd term which is soon enough hopefully Nigeria will be out of recession by that time

They say he who wears the shoe alone understands where the pinches comes from.

Let me do an analogy to further clearify,
Jst imagine you live in a house that is in an estate and you have a mango tree planted in the front yard of your house, and often the constituted authority of the estate comes there to pluck the mangoes and sell and gives you a meagre number of d harvest sales. Due to their activities of harvesting they cut a big branch frm that tree an it fell on ur door post preventing you from going out of your house(you are now trapped indoors) the Estate Authority instead of removing the trunk frm your domot evades this exercise and only concentrates their energy to harvesting your mango fruits. After much protest and agitation frm you and your family they nw decide they will remove the tree trunk, but they will not do it themselves bt they will wait for some1 who will have pity enough to pay the cost to remove the trunk from your door post, because the Estate Authority dnt want to waste their energy and money(gotten from the sales of the mango from your yard).


Would you accept that kind of deal??

Knowing that you will continue to wait for a longer period, for a "good samarithan" to come to your aid. When the Estate authority can just direct a token of labour and money to removing the trunk.

Again will you accept such deal??

Edwin Clark is an anointed criminal? Look whether you like it or not he must head the team. Leave those talk for nineenth century. We don't need that money, we resources control!

Did u read what the op posted,

I never read that in the post, neither those greedy leaders mentioned them,...that guy is a big theif...if only this government can take we the youths serious then you would know what we really want.

Very smart leaders. Am impressed. While the NE is having 3% VAT, they are trying to scam us with fake investment

Pay those owed thru the looting of Nddc? Very wrong move my leaders. Please Demand from President buhari for physical infrastructural development that he can complete and commision in his tenure and Not money to share. We better wise up.

If the NDDC is owed money then the FG should do the needful..but elders should fight for something more sustainable..

And I keep wondering why this present FG likes to present plans about the niger delta without consulting core niger deltans and stakeholders??..

This is one thing that has caused so much rift between this administration and the niger delta..

Honestly sir,
The so called elders and NDDC are theives, they are not much concerned about a sustainable enviroment 90% of them are just about the money

these people callled niger deltans are becoming lazy and too self reliant on this. money coming from govt

can't their leaders do something good with the funds instead of sharing and causing fights amongst themselves

this life na dem hold their destiny

Please do! we need true federalism

you want to borrow$29.96b

you want to spend $10b in the South South

you will then spend the rest $19.96b in Kano and North East


whereas you recovered 3 trillions from looters according to you, and you have lot of fund in the treasure single account , why borrow?

no correlation , in e no correlate at all! this is an attempt to leave huge debt for the next government!

This crooks want the money to be given to them so theyu can share i as usual. it's not business as usual and it's not that your ineffectual baboon of a son who is at the helm of affair. Buhari won't give you guys kobo.

Fulanis just need to lie to calm u.....in their hearts....na stone de dia

Just ask for FULL RESOURCE-CONTROL. Simple..

After all that's what we want....

I bet you actualizing full resource control in that region is like waiting for hell to cool over. It won't work! Edwin Clark should retire from such charades immediately.

my brother,you really know these people very well....
I was born and brought up in porthacourt,,,to say d truth.., those people are really lazy, even if you give them d whole money and oil well in d country, they will end up fighting and squanderising d money..,they are not and never united,,they are just united for a common goal which is OIL....their leaders are too corrupt, very very corrupt,.

Please stop this crap!

There will never be resolution of the Niger-Delta situation. Government can never solve it. The problem lies with what's in the heart of the Nigerian: evil, greed, laziness, delusion of grandeur when you're actually NOTHING. I've said the solution is only one of two, both of which can not be carried out. One is to surrender ALL the oil and gas to the rogues and lords of the area (they don't care as much about Independence as they do about owning all the oil 100% and squandering all the money on themselves, and not the ordinary people); two, which would have been the most viable if Nigeria hadn't now turned into a failed state: utter military defeat and total occupation of the whole oil and gas area. Absolute total destruction of any individual or group which rises up in arms against the federal government. I'm sure after something like 100,000 people are killed and all armed militants are executed by firing squad on live TV, the rest will quickly become more peaceful and voice any concerns - if any - to the appropriate channels peacefully. Nigerians don't know NOTHING! Stalin killed over 10 million of his own citizens. Pol Pot killed 25% of his population for no reason. That translates to 45 million Nigerians! ICC and UN are bad for Africa. When the developed world was as backward as Africa, they did things so barbaric to their people, that we can't imagine doing in Africa today. Go figure

drss2:
now dis is wat i call smart thinking. nice one from niger delta elders. resource control is d ONLY solution.
only niger deltans can develop niger delta, n d only way to do dat is resource control.

It's a big lie! What have you done with the lots at your disposal. Look at NDDC today, was it not set up by FG and runned by ND themselves. You should know that the moment NDDC got it wrong, it became almost impossible to develop the ND. My friend, sharpen your brain before it's too late. Your region is the most wayward in Nigeria. Imagine all these monies spent thru NDDC has been given to North or West. You guys better grow up and tell yourselves the Gospel truth. NDDC should be reduced to supervisory commission. They have failed!
Those calling for resource control, sorry. Don't start a song you knew it's impossible to finish. Substatiate your argument and not on remote dreams.
History will not be kind to some ND elites for pursuing the course of personal aggrandizement and self-rich at the detriment of the region. The poverty level of some oil rich communities is actually mind buggling, to say the least.

I think it is you who is ignorant here, if you have ever been to palace or cumunity halls then you will know what am talking about, maybe you havnt...this so called elders and leaders shares money, and allocations among themselves and their families...just immangine one of dem talking about NDDC payment..let me ask u, what notable thing did NDDC did for good 6yrs ? That you are benefiting from today?

Federal government should give niger delta what they want, how is that so hard.
Private partnershit rubbish to do what exactly
I totally dislike buhari government.
I do not pray for his government to fail but it seem as if it is accelerating towards that direction.
