alj harem: I must say it is always nice to see Niger-deltans like ENZO SCIFO and Jason talk. It means all hope is not lost

Ileke-IdI:


Just like the way this riffraff Igbos on NL take Yoruba kindness/tolerance as weakness.

One day, everybody will head back to their jungle to bear their father's name.

Odenigbo Aroli:

You really do have identity disorder like Obiagu said;If not,how can you be two person at the same time! You are one sick fhuck!

Today you are Alha harem,tomorow you are Jason and sometimes you float both names at the same time and interact with your own danm self! Chai!

igbo boy:

. . .[s]we brought free education, free health care, introduced mass communication through radio and tv to the populace, introduced equal rights for women to vote. Everyone of these programs was successful and grandfathered into legacies that Nigerians enjoy today from North to South, from West to East.

Now,. . . tell us what action your people have taken that has resulted in successful social progress for the country? You tree-hopping baboon![/s]!

Ozonna: Dis tread is about 2 be turned into Igbo/Yoruba tribal battle.

Negro_Ntns: GEJ is conscious of what his Presidency means for the Ijaws. They have struggled for many decades, along with the Ogonis, to correct the systemic economic discrimination against their land and peoples.

In developed countries, landowners are issued monthly checques for use of their land (land lease) to explore and mine oil. In addition, they are also issued monthly checques as rolyalty (sometime as high as 15%) for sale of the mined product. Furthermore, the leasing oil enterprise is responsible for all the land management (waste disposal, toxic control, water quality test, etc. . . )

Why can't the landowners in Niger Delta enjoy the same rights as their counterparts in other parts of the globe?

In the helm of governmental control and authority, GEJ is trying to correct the wrongs. However, he also realise the consequence of his actions. . . .the Ijaw nation will never smell the corrider of power for perhaps another 50yrs after him. So it is imperative that while it lasts, he sqaunders the largese on his ethnic people by giving them posts and power.

av u apologised? i think i deserve it.

texazzpete:

Bullcrap. There are other countries in the world apart from the US, you know. There's no such largesse in Russia and China, for example.

The trillions of Naira funneled to the Niger Delta to 'correct the wrongs' over the past decade have largely been eaten by their leaders which the people turn around to adore and worship. See how many Deltans and Bayelsans idolize Ibori and Alams even after massive theft of state resources. Money for development is stolen at all levels in the Niger Delta.

I have a long standing challenge with people on Nairaland from the Niger Delta to point to ONE thing their Local Government chairman has done. Of the billions sent to local governments to carry out grassroot development programmes, virtually 95% of it is stolen without remorse.


Sadly, the educated ones like yourself are far more content spreading the same lazy arguments instead of taking the fight to many of the true oppressors.

onthefence:

No you don't.

Demdem: the battle for the control of the soul of the creeks has just commenced.

buJu-234:
from my study of ur tribe (the Urhobos); i see u guys as very very unfaithful to urself.

if u should go underground and check; u will find one of ur Urhobo brothers as the chief mastermind of this stuff u re talking abt.

WAR to their local chieftains [/b]who sold them out.
Even in Delta state, the Urhobos have no say in the current administration. All they have is a Deputy Governor who is actually Uduaghan's house boy. Many urhobo youths have been frustrated into Okada business to survive. Majority of the Okada men in Delta State are Urhobos. Some Urhobo youths have even had to change their names to Ijaw or Itsekiri names to enable them get jobs in Oil/Oil Servicing companies.

[b]A typical Urhobo man can sell his birthright for "A bottle of Ogogoro and a plate of pepper-soup"/b]..
If you doubt the above statement, ask Ibori when he returns from UK (I pray he doesn't return) he was a "birthright-buyer".......


and by the way.... [b]I AM PROUDLY URHOBO

Kilode?!:


How this will solve the problems of hundreds of thousands of poor Urhobos, I'm yet to see.


~Oh we feel marginalized but just appoint our elites to go chop money and our problems will be solved~ LOL


Unparalled idiocy. .SMH
