Niger State is more than Netherlands and Belgium combined in land size but cannot feed itself, (this is for those who always say that South East has a small landmass,) most of the milk used by Mai Shayi to make tea in Nigeria comes from cows in small Netherlands while Fulani herdsmen slaughters the population to use their farm crops to feed their Kwashiokod cows.

I expected the hardworking Governor of Niger State to ask Peter Obi how he planned to transform the state into a productive state during the campaigns with all those huge expanse of fertile lands wasting away but instead he is looking at more money from Niger Delta oil which NNPCL is already telling us is not available for Dangote refinery

Do you guys think that the South can't generate power?

It was the money from oil that was used to build the dam in the first place. If that dam wasn't built then, by now flood and erosion would have wiped the idiots making this demand.

Was oil pipelines not drawn from the far south to the north.

God punish all of una for Niger State for this stupid demand.

Divid the fu(King Country and let's see what you can do for yourselves.

Come and see the mess DANGOTE is doing in Edo state.

Why are we now having banditry at the Northern parts?, is it not because private individuals are extracting the solid minerals for themselves.

We should extract oil and give you 13%. GOD MUST PUNISH YOU GUYS THERE.

Islie:
Niger governor demands 13% derivation from oil revenue; threatens to shut down Kainji Dam, other national power infrastructure

“We demand compensation for our people. Everything, every resource that comes from Niger state, must be compensated."

Mr Governor thread carefully o , as the husband (Hausa-Fulani) this table you are trying to shake will not go down well your wife(Yorubas) Allow their son to enjoy his governance

They forget so soon that oil money has sustained them so far. They also forget that IGR from places like lagos has helped them survive. How much is their IGR and how much is their FG monthly allocation?

They should shut down the gaddam dame that produces epiléptic power supply and let Lagos keep their Billions and let Niger delta keep their oil. Let's see who Will survive

This is another form of demanding restructuring! Niger state go get plenty money if it were to be so.

AsomughaChuks05:
For Nigeria to practise true federalism, a lot of states will have to be merged.

Though the Niger state governor is being disingenuous in this case because it is common knowledge that Niger state is part of a special federal government development agency created to develop hydropower producing areas known as HYPADEC.

Also it seems that the past and present Niger state governors are lazy waiting for free oil money when it has large areas of fertile agricultural lands waiting to be harnessed for commercial farming.

Stupid mentally retarded people who were born to suffer.

Delta State is a coastal state which experiences a high volume of rainfall every year with abundant inland water resources and high underwater table.

Delta has never used your Niger and doesn't need it.

SoNature:
I have said it several times. Implement true federalism. Unbundle the national grid nonsense.

Every state should look for means to generate power or buy from a neighbouring state.

How can states in faraway North be supplying power to the south when the south has gas in abundance?

I remember during the three weeks orientation camp in Paiko, Niger several years ago. One man who addressed us said something similar.
That they produce electricity for the whole country, but the don't act entitled like those in South South that produces crude oil.
There are several ways to generate electricity, This Governor can't use this as bargaining chips. If you switch off Kainji and shiroro dams, other states especially southern state will seek other means to generate electricity. Dams can be constructed too

Meanwhile 70% of Nigeria power generation comes from Niger Delta gas while 27% is from hydro, so if he shuts down the dams rhe country won't be un total darkness

NimrodEndOfDays:
you want half of the population in the North to die off?

Roozzaay:

Stop fooling yourself, this is 2023, no one is dying off if we start practicing true federalism, every single state of the federation is blessed with one or the other sources of revenue, states that doesn't have oil can sustain on agriculture, those with limited land for agriculture have gold and so on, the problem is bad governance and wickedness of the elites.

NimrodEndOfDays:
and you think they are not aware of the resources they have but still want to die with Oil money?
