What abt my grand papa house wey there burn

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

Lovelyn451:
Niger deltans have suffer no be small...

WarriFirstSon:

Please be logical in your weiteups. The north control the mining operations and agriculture in their land yet the crude oil in the south is controlled by them as well. Is there any south south person with a mining license up north? It's different in the niger delta, all northerners own either an oil field or block. The joint action of ijaw and Itsekiri is saying a caboodle rejectemanta to this injustice. If you're honest, you'll understand

dukeprince50:
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

IFIRI:
what you are saying and what they are saying quite different. it revealed that you are not from ND.

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.

dubaiprince:


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.

Revolva:


Very good bro but these people brain is so full of curruption and dumbness is their name.

And on top of the oil matter they will still fight and kill themselves



Why do you say so ? So someone cannot speak the truth again .
You see where you youth are failing always supporting negative vices until you tell yourself the truth Niger delta will be like this till the next fifty years no development with the oil money and the elders will keep cheating and chopping the money .

babyfaceafrica:
there is a difference with what is right and the reality. My take

MansoryMX:
In as much as our Niger Delta leaders have failed us whole fully by selling our birthright for peanuts called 13% and squandering it, I will still blame the Federal Government. Government are not living up to their responsibilities by providing basic amenities which they are obliged to do for the people of South South.

1. Almost all Federal Roads in South South are bad.


2. Warri port is nothing to write home about. If functioning, this alone will boost economic growth here and raise businesses from the dead. But a lot people I believe don’t want economic boost down here so they made sure it stop functioning.


3. Electricity Zero. Recharge of 5k I bought January ending hasn’t finished yet, that tells you how bad electricity is down here.


Portable Drinking water Zero




Provide just these 3 things to the people by forcefully using 3 percent of that 13% you claim you give their representatives. Who una dey deceive with all these rubbish about giving 13%

realstars:
The War Zone Of 1997, Wheie Wafi Market Was Set Ablaze, Thank God They Have Come Up Together To Seek For Development.

Excuses:


They should hold their state leaders not federal govt.
Niger Delter minister na their person.
Yar'Adua was the the northerner that created the Niger Delter ministry for peace to reign..
Every promise of the federal government to Niger Delter is kept to avoid vandalization.
Their state leaders are responsible, or is it the federal government that ask most of the oil companies to relocate or park out of the region NO. it's the attitude of the people.

My dear visite Niger Delter and see for urself. the youths don't want anything even to work, all they want is money.

dukeprince50:
I really do not Carr where u think I came from, its the least of my problems, one thing I do not like doing is trying to convince people, if u wanna stick to ur opinion, its fine by me, afterall majority of Nigerians think like u, it will be a waste of time convincing all of u

Excuses:


Continue blaming federal government..na u sabi...the pockets of the people leading keeps swelling.
Better find your way out of that region and make a life for yourself.

Let me tell u something pal:
Go to Obajana cement factory in Kogi state see what Dangote has done for them.it's the biggest cement factory in west Africa. there is no vandalization of any sort by the communities,both the elders and average people have gotten employment with at least labourer work to do..the working environment is made safe for all.

But in your Niger Delter,everything is war. marginalization. oil is on our land. these. that. people are even tired of hearing Niger Delter issues. Are you people the only one?

MansoryMX:


I need to clarify this and correct you. When you say the Youth don’t want to work and wants money, you are wrong. Statistics has it that 75% of Niger Delta Youth are educated or has acquired skills through one form of training or other. I agreed that bad leadership who misappropriate public funds meant for the development one of Niger Delta is of the many reason Niger Delta is so underdeveloped today. Please get your facts right and stop saying what you don’t know. I for one is a graduate in Accounting and a junior ICAN but self employed because of the situation here in Delta State. We have so many graduates here in South South and few touts. One major problems here are the traditional leaders who are more greedy than the devil himself. A lot of youths wants to work but job opportunity here in South South is below zero percent compared to any other part of this country.

MansoryMX:


If you can’t understand my opinion it ain’t my fault bro, maybe your brain IQ couldn’t carry it. Kogi State na u wan te compare Delta. Chai! We don suffer! For your info I did my NYSC in Governor’s office building, Lokoja. Kogi stinks with corruption that anywhere else in this country. Kogi State Case na only God himself will handle it. Poverty, insecurity, hunger and 1648 infrastructures na you wan te compare Delta. Guy abeg get lost!

Excuses:


You have said it all,one of the major problems is the traditional rulers..which goes back to buttress my comment.YOUR LEADERS,U GUYS SHOULD WORK ON THEM.

We are seriously making plans to gather all of them in one place for palliatives and........

Na joke oo! Work on them ke! Me wey dey pray make Canada or Australia approve my visa make I discharge with my wife and Son from this horrible and demonic country.

kingzizzy:


It is an insult to give a person 13% of what he owns

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

senatepresido:

please bro enlighten me more, do you mean the monthly allocation is different from the 13% derivation
