Essentially, the whole country lost so much because we are saddled with a president whose ego is as big and hard as zuma rock! If the oil producing areas are that important, why not listen to them, get them to stop bombing and take care of their needs, then use some of the money coming in to change the fortune of those places?? Rather a sardonic/satanic president decided to take actions that will make the whole country loose so much rather than invest in those areas, all because he wants to be seen as the new Rambo. . . Meanwhile, this is a man whose hometown of daurra produces nothing. . If half of that amount is ploughed back into the oil producing areas in terms of building infrastructures and providing educational facilities for the people, won't that have been better since the government would still have something left, we would have had peace, and Forex would have been enough atleast to help curtail inflation?

Oktoberfest:

...but what infrastuctures has that area got to show for the 13% derivation,NDDC, ND ministry, huge state allocation monthly, and even a son of the soil that ruled nigeria for some 6 years?

EmeeNaka:
That's a good thing
Buhari's initial plan was to isolate the East and destroy it. But with Biafra pressure and Militant actions, he rediscovered a new world and backpedaled. Buhari is responsible for the failure of his administration.

kabrud:
Yet, they are the noisiest about recession. For their mind, dem dey punish Bubu wey him and his family no go see poverty for decades.

awa:
Oga Kachukwu, since you know all these why not use the opportunity you have now to rights the wrongs of Babu before he comes back...

Boleyndynasty2:
Something a little settlement would've avoided.

It is that simple.. If he didn't start his trademark double standards and showed a real intention to carter for every body equally, folks would have even supported him against the militants blowing up the pipelines. But what we have is/was? a president who will cry that killing boko haram wass the same as killing northerners..., he does that dance in the morning then in the evening, he starts to fume at the sight of Tompolo... It beggars the question; Between Tompolo and BH, who ideologically represent a greater threat to Nigeria? Who is willing to sit and discuss issues with government? Apart from rampaging tribalism, Is there any other reason the president was willing to talk to BH but unwilling to listen to ND militants?? Is that reality not enough reason to provide militants with the local support needed to wage more wars against the government in their areas? A petty vindictive buhari was the cause..

Exactly! Those who throw a party after every blast would be the same flat oblongata cavemen who would be saying shiit about the state of the economy.

Well, sometimes i dont blame them. The mental handicap that comes with such a compressed skull could really make one hopeless.

That is not enough reason to punish the people or for Buhari to take away what belongs to the people and use same to develop Abuja and Lagos! If governors, ministries and agencies stole from the Niger Delta, catch the culprits, try the culprits and jail the culprits based on the law! It is as simple as that. It is Nigerias defective federalism that gave rise to some of these political charlatans dominating all these state houses all over the country.. Stop supporting evil. Don't steal from the poor because their home governments stole from them. It makes no sense..

damagepbuh:
Before a single pipe was blown up in niger delta, buhari showed his hatred for d region. His promised to decimate militants if they try any nonsense even before a single pipeline was damaged.
Now he has seen with his eyes, u dnt bite a finger dat feeds u
