Thats not the point. The point is that they own the oil and gas, how can you give someone 13% of what they own? I own something, you take 87% of my property and give me 13%. Then to add salt to injury, after cheating out of what I own, you come back to ask me what I did with 13% of what was mine in the first place

the difference between most population of Nigeria and me is that i have no interest anymore on who takes more percentage of oil money, there is always an avenue of making it in life irrespective of where u find urself. Most Nigerians keep fighting because of this oil, it just shows how backward we are and without the oil, we will have no other opportunity to grow. 13% to me is something, what if there is no oil? What abt the agro companies, the finance companies, artificial intelligence, power, food, quantum computers, particle physics research, tokamak magnetic confinement fusion, its not always about oil

bad, i just feel sorri for these people because thier bad leaders are the ones punishing them..
Yar'adua was a good man and he tried to help these people out of pity and all his help and money allocated to improve that region was looted and re looted...
i jus pray that the finally find the light they seek because i see the menace going on there to linger for Years even if a man from that side becomes president...
my elders do say "a group of lions being led by a cat to a battle ground would be defeated against a group of cats being led by a lion"...
better daYs ahead i pray 4 them....it is well..

Oga, The country is a federation of 36 states and if you get 13% and about 2/3 of the entire 36 states share 87 percent, i think this is fair. A ministry and even a commission were even created for that region which means they are even getting over the 13 percent of what 'they own'. What we keep hearing is NDDC embezzled this, NDDC looted that. Let's learn to hold our leaders accountable. The problems of the Niger Delta still remains greed, bad leadership and disunity.

babyfaceafrica:
they don't own it, the country owns it, unless they get their own country, natural resources will be shared for all country unfortunately

kingzizzy:

But it is not an insult to spend the money for salaries of your people on politics, luxury cars, expensive liquor, exotic chicks and choice properties in ikoyi .....Even if they have 100%resource control they would kill themselves over their greed and selfishness ....The Niger Delta should be grateful to Nigeria if not
I live in the Niger Delta their leaders are their biggest problem....They have no reason to be under devel
It is an insult to give a person 13% of what he owns

After 20years, they would have achieved many things if they were united from the onset, always blaming each other for each's failure and greediness.

johnmartus:
Efforts in futile. They are looking for national cake instead to call their leaders ask them what they are doing with federal allocation.

You have amnesty, NDDC and 13% derivatives from oil despite this the masses still subject to poverty.

As long as pdp still control Niger delta affairs no tangible development will come to that area.

However you can't threaten federal government Because it was stated in the constitution that central government are the real owner of land and resources. You have got your share hold your governors accountable.

dukeprince50:
that 13% is not part of the allocation hope u know? We also get the highest allocation, let us also vent our angers on our state govt biko.
There is a saying that if a man can't manage 200k, even if u give him 2m, he won't manage it

I never wished to say this, but I have to. Unity is far from these two tribes....

whenever oil is discovered on your family land, come back and say this.

Greedy bastards. Some thieves are collecting allocation meant for an entire state with nothing to show for and they are shouting marginalisation. What did they do with amnesty money syphoned to a few cronies with a majority of the youths being sidelined? No jobs, oil companies have all packed out because of deve collection and hunger has set in, that's why these clouts are trying to raise dust. The youths don't want to work, all they are after is money, companies offer jobs to communities but instead the king's and leaders would rather take money than have anyone from the community employed or for any project to happen. Before you ignorantly quote me, I'm a full blooded Deltan, I know what I'm saying

dukeprince50:
Useless people, we get 13% derivatives from oil, our state govt won't do a single thing with it, we have NDDC, I no know wetin that thing be sef, its as useless as the share button on nairaland, we should also vent our anger on state govt but no, we will sing their praises and vote them again, or we will rather vote them as senators if their tenure as govt don finish. You dont need all the money from oil before u develop, there is a saying that if u can't manage 200k, even if they give u 2million, u still won't manage it
Pls God if I am gonna come back as a Nigerian, pls just forfeit my reincarnation, lemme just go straight to heaven weda my work on earth is done or not, I am not coming back.
As an ijaw breed, as a Niger Deltan, as a Nigerian and as an African, I am ashamed of how my brothers think
