But they still chose to serve the almajiris all their lives. Instead of joining the struggle, they chose to betray those that saw tomorrow from yesterday. I do not pity them one bit till I see true repentance in them. They even have the effrontery to denounce being part of Biafra

Take it or leave it, these people are wreaking more havoc on their own environment than the oil companies.

Unfortunately there is a possibility that the oil companies and Nigerian government will recover from the loss of revenue but the damage to their environment will remain unabated for a long time to come.

Even the mumu commander self that was throwing diesel into the environment to avoid it from spoiling cars in the city doesn't know the impact of his actions.

Tell them to hold their chiefs and Kings responsible. Their senators and governor's are their problem,

what happened to the 13per cent derivation they've been collecting,the allocations since 1999 till date..with nddc and a ministry.yet,nothing to show for it...corruption in nigeria is an existential necessity,exhibited in it highest level by niger delta leaders.and someone is busy putting up pics,to attract pity or what.when money that is enough to turn niger delta into a region to be admired by others,are been squandered by the same people many celebrates today...rather,what we have is a monumental slum..shame on them.

Biased minds will carefully sidestep the very salient points that you succintly raised. They will prefer to raise tantrums and trade blames and counter accusations.

The question remains what happened to the billions that had been pumped into the Niger Delta all these years?

Why should the white man [Vice] show us our problem? What of the many Nollywood producers and directors we have?
With our own people creating documentaries themselves they can churn out continuous videos to update Nigerians on the situation and at the same time frustrate our leaders into doing the righ thing.

Totally ruined!

Some will come blame the leaders. When you interact with the average Niger deltan, you will understand somethings differently. Na dem use their hand spoil plenty things.

Their ancestors died and decayed hundreds of years ago into crude oil.

They deserve to harvest their natural resources. It belongs to them.
Shouldn't be tagged "illegal".

No one forced Almajiris to feed their ancestors to livestock and Afonjas to eat their forefathers - preserving only their skulls.

my best savage reply 2018 #wicked

I have been to Deeyor, B-Dere and K-Dere (Ogoni lands) and Ahoada - all in Rivers State and I saw for myself the rot caused by oil.

They should been in the forefront of biafra struggle but alas ,they love their exploiters and hate their sympathisers.

This injustice will end one day.
You bring in hausa military men to terrorize our people and take our resources to develop ur land.
No wonder they will never agree to restructuring.

These one should not be a hyped store...it can only happen in Nairaland....
Afterall, the problem and the photos did not happen today...they are as older as the Nigerian nation..
Where are the militants who had been celebrating their leaders...who live in earthly paradise with all the Niger Delta wealth
while the rest lives in abject poverty....stand up to your leaders to ask them why they squandered all the resources released to them on your behalf...

You make sense die.
Aptly put.

Shame to those who brought it to Nairaland

Niger Delta, a people blessed with oil. I only advice to train your youths. Education will solve most of these problems as your indigenes will take over man power in oil sector.

Shame to those who brought it to Nairaland

Quotes. Documentary 2

...It was as if we were on a different planet... Everything was black... Mangroves were dead, the roots were in black water...It was apocalyptic...

...Turned out he was an extremely powerful and extremely successful individual. He had an escort, and he came in a police car, that was the level of protection he had...

...I took one look at him and thought, 'Oh my gosh, he cannot be in charge of anything. He was about mid twenties, didn't look like anything, and I thought, "How can he be running an Oil racket?"...

Niger Delta will remain like dis for ever
Dem no get sense at all I schooled in Rivpoly u can’t Spread ur white shite outside day break it will turn to black white

And a son of the Niger Delta was president for almost 6yrs

Jonathan is a disgrace and should be disowned and exiled

Jonathan was trying hard to appease the north because of his former boss yaradua tru whom he came into power bt then corruption galore by his aides also compounded his problem.

This is a sad state.

i fly over the creeks last year, omo dat place na zanga. nothing to show for the 13% derivations

What has naija got to show for the balance 87%, how much is the 13% you guys keep harping on anyways, what Niger Delta needs is resource control and not that pocket change you call derivation.
True federalism and resource control is the panacea for development in the Niger Delta.

Let’s be honest for once.
Igbinedion looted — no one screamed
Ibori looted
Odilli looted and got a perpetual injunction



All the SS governors past present looted their states dry

The NASS is feeding fat on the oil revenue - still no one is protesting.

The SS should face their own looters and stop destroying their land

But as I am speaking to you now $6.7 billion is heading to North for reconstruction, rehabilitation, resettlement plan but when GEJ the imbecilic was in power, he chose chose to bribe jobless militants with 60 thousand monthly payment per person than giving them their right. GEJ chose aliens rather than flesh and blood.

I don't support The lifeless Paedophilic Vegitable in power but I commend him because He understands nigerian politics more than we Southerners. BROTHER FIRST.

I will advise them to stick to Nnamdi Kanu's advice " Stop bombing pipelines destroying your mothers farmland you ain't doing Government, you are doing yourself " Fight for freedom and control your resource

Why blame the President? When your bros dey there, why e no remember home??
We (southern extraction) seem to be easily cowed and become afraid where the North take bold actions without minding whose ox is gored....

Oh no.

Oil money is used now to build modern development infrastructures, including ultramodern Standard Gauge Rail System and Airports in the Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba north and south west regions.

No such infrastructures in the Nigerdelta region.

God, are you seeing the EVIL going on in Nigeria?


Well, blame goes to a few easterners and Delta state who say: We no be part of Biafra."

In Biafra, this type of unjust things of Nigeria can NEVER be.

Racoon:
Sad! Meanwhile the funfare of the propaganda Ogoni Cleanup decleared by VP Osinbajo in 2016 have gone down the drain of all promises cancelled.

Only a few bribed Ogonis and others bribed by Nigeria in the Nigerdelta region would expect a Buhari or any Nigerian president to clean up environmental pollution in the Nigerdelta area

That your 13% question should be answered by your fellow parasites.

Nigeria has done nothing but dump on ND since we were forced to join. I don't care if other ND tribes wants to stay in Nigeria but Ijaw would be free from Nigeria One-day. We have not benefitted from Nigeria but pain, suffering, insults and degradation of our lands. It will never be well with the British and anyone else that had a hand in creating Nigeria.

Krak:


Biased minds will carefully sidestep the very salient points that you succintly raised. They will prefer to raise tantrums and trade blames and counter accusations.

The question remains what happened to the billions that had been pumped into the Niger Delta all these years?

Can you explain what the billions will have done to stop this. Can you explain if you, yes you were given the billions, what you will have done to stop this. Give me concrete objectives. Like you accuse, you too trade blames.

What has happened to the trillions accrued to all Nigeria these decades. If you can answer that then you can answer the Delta question.

The VP said it was a case of accountability and management so their solution is the one they practice presently. But in three and a half years is Nigeria better?. Is Nigeria not poorer than it was in 2015, that is reserve minus debt.

The problem of Nigeria can only be solved by restructuring. While Mr. VP wants to patch up a leaky basket draining the resources of the country I rather advocate a different structure called a bucket. We need to change the way Nigeria works by attaching responsibility to resources.

The vandals don't care because they cannot see the relationship between their activities and their own wellbeing. This is the sum of the average Nigerian, not just the Niger Deltan. They don't care because government is there to spoon feed them. To clean up their environment. Every Nigerian expects government to do everything including you. Nigeria can never progress that way.

Give the peoples of Nigeria the power to control their resources and the responsibility to account for it comes naturally. The responsibility of government is not to generate power, wealth, employment, etc. Its responsibility is to moderate it in a just and equitable nature such that no constituent part is left out. Then you will see Nigerians maximise their potentials but the devils in us want it all for ouselves first, then our families, then our clans, then our tongues before our country. This is what devastates the Niger Delta, not failed derivation that could not possibly work in the first place.

Like I said before the last elections, the best Nigerians can hope to get from the incoming government wiil at best be superficial improvements here and there. Expecting the kind of nation building change that progressive nations are known by cannot and will not be possible under this structure. That is all what we have gotten under decades of derivation, superficial improvements.

I bet you, if these resources were to be in the north, the story would have been different. Imagine they are not even oppressed and Boko Haram is misbehaving like this. Injustice on the Niger Delta is just too much and I blame their leaders primarily

GavelSlam:
Nigeria is not the only nation in which oil exploration takes place but despoiling of the environment is prevalent in the Niger Delta.

I continue to insist that Warri was once a thriving business community, filled with oil workers -local and expatriate.

Other countries even our neighbours continue oil exploration with local flora and fauna still being preserved.

There is global standard for oil exploration activities and servicing companies mostly comply.

Displaying your displeasure by destroying everything in sight or by sheer banditry never works.

The dull ones won't acknowledge this.
