Wetin concern me when they were busy bombing they didn't think of this they are now shouting one stupid restructuring

Efewestern:


Wenti concern you!!

but the oil they produced concern you shey?

The money been distributed to your parasitic state concern you shey?

Did you just say restructuring is a stupid thing?, so you prefer the status quo?, please where are you from, don't tell me you are from South or middle belt.

Cool23:
I don't think u understood my comment and I'm from ogun restructuring means giving states control of their resources without any interference from the federal government now tell me if they carry on with this how many states can survive on their own it is only a scheme to make some certain governors more powerful

leofab:

When we say restructuring, we mean everybody going back to the table to discuss the way forward, each ethnic group will b represented, the issue of state might be resolved, regional system might be adopted.

Support will be given to poor region, they should let those of us from the Delta to enjoy our God given resources.

what resources is it the oil that in the next 5 to ten years will be useless as everyone us looking for greener source of energy

DaniDani:
I have been reading about oil spillage in books and internet with disinclination until I travelled to Emago Kugbo and its environs and I spent hours in the sea and other riverine communities in Abua LGA of rivers state and now, each time I retrospect my experience I feel like crying and cursing our leaders. These people are in a terrible condition which I lack words to describe. Oil spillage is a serious situation that deserves emergency response.

Oil Spillage has become the sad reality of the Delta today. From the Western end of Ondo to the Eastern end of Akwa Ibom, oil spillage is a recurrent decimal.

In itself, oil spillage is not the problem because it can be cleaned and it is not unique to Nigeria. The problem, however, is the government's lack of interest in the plight of the poor fishermen and riverine dwellers of the Delta who have to face the reality of black oil on their land and waters. The oil companies pay little to no interest to these spills and even when monies are disbursed for cleanup, they end up on the stomach of the so-called Niger Delta leaders.

What about the militants that claim to fight for the rights of the people by blowing up pipes (and by extension causing more spillages)? Many of them have been bought off by the FG. The amount of money the FG spends to feed the ex-militants in a month is enough to clean up a large section of the oil spills in Urhobo/Isokoland. What are the militants doing about it now that their purses are full?

The blame for these spills goes to each and every one of us. To the government, for its negligence and blatant disregard for the welfare of its citizens who have to suffer the bitter taste of black crude, spilt over their water and land. To the Niger Delta leaders who eat the little money that may be used to satiate the plights of the jobless fishermen, farmers, and riverine dwellers who have nowhere to go. To the militants and agitators who use a genuine cause to enrich themselves at the detriment of the people they swore to fight for. To the average Nigerian who turns away from sordid images such as the ones on this thread; who rather pretends not to know what their fellow citizens are facing every day.

The Niger Delta is a mistreated and wealthy bride of Nigeria. She may not know her true worth now or have good leaders and agitators, but a day will come when the bride shall say enough is enough. When that day comes, Nigeria will stand still and see the evil its leaders and the oil companies have done against a once arable and ecologically rich region. No one, not even our closest neighbours, can help us. We alone have to break free of the chains we have allowed ourselves to be entrapped in.

may i know the essence of this post, thank you

Izonpikin:
what would you say about the leaky well heads of the various oil companies operating in the Niger delta??..

In your little mind you think the pics you see is all about Niger delta youths..

Oil is produced in many other countries apart from Nigeria. None experiences oil spills with such regularity and quantum as the Niger Delta.

The oil industry embraces world class standards applicable everywhere in the world.

My people should know they are responsible for the spills that have despoiled their environment.
