Oil belongs to the people of the Niger Delta.

Banditry and Boko Haram in the North, UGM in the South East, Herdsmen and Farmers clash in the middle belt, Touts and thugs everywhere in the South West, militants, pirates and kidnappers in the South South, yet we wonder why a lot of foreign investors can't live here...

If we don't fix insecurity and social welfare, we are just joking...
