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

LuciferKristi:
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.

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

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?"...

These deeply saddening stills from a documentary by VICE on the Niger Delta Struggle are hard to see.

Iam from the east and work in the Niger Delta, I just came down from a facility that was transported from bayelsa to port Harcourt through the creeks, it takes God's grace for anyone to see the squalor that exists side by side with abundant resources and not get depressed or aggressive, shame on all our leaders from all parts of the country most especially south south and South East

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.

ifymadu:
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

namio10:


Those "leaders" from the non-Igbo speaking parts of the Nigerdelta who journeyed to Kaduna in 1967 and begged former Northern region governor, Hassan Katsina, to beg the then HoS, Yakubu Gowon, to cut off the non-Igbo speaking parts of the old eastern region from Biafra, those "leaders" brought the present injustices and havoc to the Nigerdelta.

Immediately after those "leaders" journey to Kaduna, Cross River and Rivers State were created from Biafra by Gowon to balkanise Biafra. That was the main reason for Biafra collapse.

Immediately after, Northern people seized the billion dollars worth oil blocks in the Niger delta - till today.

kotv:


Of course blame the victims. What ways are they wreaking more havoc? For years the government have neglected ND but yes, it's NDs fault the damages on our land, not the government. Typical

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?

Niger deltans are d most stewpid set of individuals in nigeria, no apologies..u shld be close 2 them or stay among dem and see how dey reason..

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[b] someone is busy putting up pics,to attract pity [/b]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.

FortifiedCity:


All Nigerian leaders right from when Oil was discovered to this present day have failed this nation. They do not deserve the accolades given to them

MYHUBBY:
I would have been more ashamed if I was from Niger delta. Niger delta are big disgrace entirely



they ridicule theirselves, turn their rights to money bags in the hand of politicians. how many ijaw have oil blocs compare to Hausa that didn't have a drop of oil?

they ought to be in control of nnpc, refinery that is now full of Hausa. all they know is to drink, killed theirselves for politics and answer the call of their masters Hausa's


Niger delta need to rethink, except cross river, akwa ibom and rivers state that's fairly OK, other states are nothing to write home about

This is what you get when you site headquarters of oil companies in other regions...

It's not fair to the Niger delta

AmazingELixir:
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.
