THE NORTH SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED FOR NIGER DELTA UNDER DEVELOPMENT by coputa(m): 8:57am On Jul 13, 2020
Niger delta region which produces crude oil that account for more than 80% of the nations revenue is largely under developed as most of the states lacked basic amenities like,clean source of water,good motorable road,functional health care facilities,constant electricity.etc.This had lead to a lot of agitations from the people of the niger delta region to control their resources and they were given 13% derivation from the oil,these monies were paid to the various niger delta states with the monthly federal allocation,despite this there was still no visible development. Even when OMPADEC and NDDC were established under the leadership of the sons and daughters from the region,no visible devevelopment took place in the region,they looted the trllions of naira allocated to the commission.so,should niger deltan continue to blame the north for their under development.I think,their enemies is their brothers and not the north.

There's some truth in this

Niger delta region receive the highest allocation in Nigeria and yet nothing to show for it, Why not Blame your governor's instead of blaming the FG all the time?

Your governor's loot all the allocation and wait for FG to Develop your region, Does that even make sense?? All the states in the U.S develop themselves without the help of the FG as long as they receive monthly allocation

That's how it should be everywhere, It's only in Nigeria governor's Will loot the monthly allocation and start playing the blame game on FG

It's damn time we start blaming the useless Governors instead of FG All the Time

To be candid the level of greediness and selfishness of leaders in the Niger Delta is outrageous, all these companies are paying them and rewarding them handsomely, that is why they are grave quiet, Tompolo is collecting his own share even where he is hiding

Oga blame the utterly corrupt bastards stealing your money in the Niger Delta and cut the North some slack! Only reprehensible dunderheads with chronic inferiority complex blame all their woes on others. Take responsibility for your own underdevelopment (Every part of Nigeria is underdeveloped anyway) for once and stop wailing like toy-deprived spoilt brats!

At least Government has favoured them all round.
They enjoy basic amenities and basic commodities of life.
Their needs are well catered for..
Empowerments, scholarships, employment...
They don't hv any reason to be angry or agitated.

Is Asari Dokubo not comfortable?
Re: THE NORTH SHOULD NOT BE BLAMED FOR NIGER DELTA UNDER DEVELOPMENT by ZKOSOSO(m): 9:43am On Jul 13, 2020
As a Niger Deltan I blame the HausaFulanis for our woes..!

They are solely responsible for the sorry state of Niger Delta

What business should the North be having with Niger Delta Oil and gas in the first place..? Is it their land resources?
Are the Niger Delta struggling with the North on Cattle business?

Buhari, Mungono, Rilwan Lukman and rest northern cabals have been in charge of Nigeria oil and gas since 1961... stealing nearly all the oil wells and revenue to themselves.

We are'nt talking about people like Tompolo and Asari Dokubo,who brought some measure of awareness to the region.The Trillions of naira that has came into the region through the 13%derivation fund paid to the governors and allocations given to OMPADEC and NDDC.What were they used for,because,the region is still backward.

Aside the huge monthly federal allocation,they 're given 13% from the oil revenue,yet,nothing on ground to show for it.

even worst go and check the debts owed by niger-delta states . You'll wonder what they actually do with money.

Then who stole the Niger Delta resources for 60 years and used it to develop the arid north?

Imagine if the money looted and used to fund cities of Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto or Abuja had been used to develop Warri, Sapele, Oron or Degema?

It was the same allocation that were shared among all the states in the country,that the north used to develop their state,your governor from the oil producing region,looted their own,even when they were given more.the north is never your problem.

Losers are always looking for who are what to blame outside of themselves. They'll always be and stay oppressed until they accept every man is arbiter of their own fate. There's not a another healthy way to live that wont leave you bitter.

They blame the north whereas their leaders are the reasons for their backwardness. Our leaders are incompetent, corrupt and evil.
