Bariga1:
But let it be on record that it was said : “another group of boys will immerge very shortly and they will demand their share of the oil money as MEND is doing to put down arms.

Even if the government pulls out and leave the oil wells that are in the area. I can tell you that the area will still not develop.

Until people start to give their chairmen, senators and governors public flogging and in some cases where it is really bad hang the bastard. Will things change in the Niger Delta.

Citizens in the Niger Delta area will continue to suffer and the suffering will get worse over the years to come. I see Somalia developing within that part of Nigeria.

People need to take their destiny in their hands and ask question. MEND is not fighting for anyone but the money they can get in their pocket and the politicians past and present sponsoring them (we know their names but know need to mention even past governors). Yes there are issues for the government to resolve, but we do not have a government in Nigeria so people need to do things themselves.

How much investment has MEND, the governor, commissioner for investment brought into the states in the area? What do they do with their allocation? PLEASE!!! PLEASE!!! SHINE YOUR EYE!!!!

It is easy to go to Abuja and demand Royalties, but what have you own people in government done for you?

First deal with your own people and then we will know that you are serious.

OBJ was the one who knew how to deal with you guys (even though I am not a fan of OBJ).

Government needs to develop the Niger Delta but not with a gun held to it head or having to first pay some hoodlum’s called MEND money.

Please put sentiments aside before replying me there is a problem within and not from the federal government. We agree the federal government has it own blames but the people you guys should be fighting should be MEND because they are having a free lunch off the back of law abiding citizens.

150% Correct

Ibime:


It should be self-evident. The action does nothing to change the set-up of Government. Its the most FG could do without changing the status-quo. Its simply communities being allocated money from the National pie once again, and going by antecedents, one cannot be too sure how much money will trickle down to the common man.

It is time we start to think about setting up a constitution for the whole of Nigeria that will allow local people some form of power to make their own decisions, much like a federation or confederation. Apart from the oil communities, the rest of Nigeria will just stay waiting for their own slice of the remaining 70% as usual, providing no incentive for them to generate revenue (and jobs) for their people. The reverse should be the case, where FG gives no money to States (outside their remit of providing Federal roads, military, civil service etc), but States should pay tax to FG. That way, States must live or die by their financial actions, much like California is doing now, instead of waiting for their cut. This will promote better accountability as leaders have to answer to their people for the fiscal performance of their state, and perhaps will lead to a changed attitude toward corruption at State and Federal level. Until then, I just see this 25% ending up in the hands of Odili et al, whilst the 5% for the local communities ends up in the hands of the Local Government Chariman, and the rest 70% will end up in the hands of leaders of non-oil producing states. Nothing changes.

this is definitely not the 'madam nadfac' we used to know. na wao! [/quote]Corruption is an infectious desease. You join them you are infected and presently it's also among the desease without vaccines or cure

Nezan link: So those ones out there are fake??

my bro, most of the militants you dey see for TV with governors na fake, guys them arrangee to show say them they dialogue. The real ones hardly appear on Tv without mask

olusolami:
come one people, everyone lust after a cheating girlfriend, you guys should just put that thing away and admit it, they find them interesting and would love to have a piece of them,

you are right, just a piece. Don't be fooled guys are not easily deceived. most guys don't like commitment so they go for loose girls, because they know there are others

back2back:
if you start with BIG thieves; OBJ, Bode George, Annenih, IBB etc small ones will give up!!!

I disagree you fit shoot the small errand boys we no get immunity. Then them no go get anybodyto send thief for them again.

What you people don't know is that PDP is jittery and pushing Yar to fight Fashola because he is breaking the myth they have been selling to us that Nigeria is difficult to govern and develop. The guy don dey put sand for their garri, because to develop a city like Lagos no dey easy when other governors never fit develop smaller towns.

Bayelsa too get the same Local Development Areas and nobody question them? In fact, yardu just visit last week and na one small round about na-im be the only thing wey Timipre Sylva fit present.

Fashola carry on. nothing shake you

TheSeeker:
Nigeria is dead; can we all observe a moment of silence?

Nezan:
The blackmailing game has begun!!

Don't you know the governors need more money as the sharing has increased, all previous appointment holders still collecting and new people plus the militants. After all the money wey Timi Timi don't collect them still compensate am with some billions to take manage him life as them no give am governorship, you no want the governors to get their share? bad belle

Nigerians are very good at misusing words
christian = Christ like.  There is noting like christless christians, that is, if you are not like Christ you are not a christian.  Christian simply means Christ like.
Just like one guy put on his 12ft X 20ft shop signpost DIVINE MALL  when did the meaning of mall change to small shops.

liberation i maintain must come and soon!

Can you fight, even the MEND that is fighting don't have full support from the people

Five surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on. The
first surgeon says, 'I like to see Accountants on my operating table
because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.'

The second responds, 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians! Everything
inside them is colour-coded.'

The third surgeon says, 'No, I really think Librarians are the best;
everything inside them is in alphabetical order.'

The fourth surgeon chimes, 'You know I like Construction Workers. Those
guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and
when the job takes longer than you said it would.'

But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, 'You're all wrong.
Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no
balls, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts - the
mouth and the arse and they are interchangeable'

We have what we want
No complain, like somebody said in another thread, every Nigerian has hope that one day his relation or close friend will be at the top, then he will also join in the enjoyment.

Let's keep hoping and praying (stupid fools)

Are we really operating a federal system of government?

Is there separation of powers?

In a federal system the supreme court has power to cancel/annul a law passed by the national assembly not the other way round

rhymz:
i mean this man had the opportunity to choose 4rm south-south leaderz like donald duke,peter odili,obong victor attah who could solve d problem of d niger-delta region,but he rather chose to force an unwilling northerner on Nigerianz who has no idea of d problems in dat region and sees their agitation for control as an insult by a minority who re lucky to ve oil in thier backyard to a majority who re dependent on it.

I disagree with you. All the people that you mentioned, what actually did they achieve while in office since they have knowledge according to you of the South South. I am from the Niger Delta.

Ehoi:
I seriously doubt it.
A snake will always give birth to a long thing. They will never bite the system that produce them. All this is just bragado. Once they are promised second term, they will make a U turn. Thank God of MEND.

Thank you my bro, this is not the first time. Don't we have the VP who is from the South South. If he is removed today we will start to cry foul. Can't he protect the interest of the south south? Let the leaders we already have there start protecting us, and see what will happen if they are removed without any justifiable cause.

indirect prostitution

make una leave mumu them alone, see intelligent Soyinka yarn: "And it is very dangerous and far more dangerous than even the explosion which took place on the Atlas Cove. The kind of language that is used to classify it as ethnic attack is fraught with dangers, not only for the Yoruba people, not just for Lagos State, but also for the entire nation and I think that elders, especially those who called themselves elders and therefore leaders of thought and leaders of reactions and responses, have to be far more guarded in their language. The facility that was blown up, I am not aware that it was labelled Yoruba oil depot. I haven’t seen any Benin Oil Depot, I haven’t seen any Hausa Oil Depot. I haven’t even seen any Ijaw Oil Depot."

Tracey121:
No honey, I dont cheat, a person is cheating when s/he is seeing someone whereas s/he is in a serious or committed r/s or maybe married, otherwise ur not cheating if ur not serious about the r/s regardless of what ur partner thinks or how s/he sees the r/s as long as u know ur limits and u know ur not committed, I means when ur in an affair/fling u have to keep looking for that special some1 n u'll never know where n when u will find him so No Babes I dont cheat, I am just looking for the right one and in all the 5 I have none of them meet the standards not even close, LOL

if you are not cheating why not let them know that the relationship is not serious? When guys do these same things the are classed as heartbreakers. You just need the five guys because of the dough you are getting from them. I think you are looking for a politician who can meet all you obnoxious financial demands. You are the type that when they get old will marry aany available man by paying the bride price.

GEW:
what is the matter with you. cant people be foolish when they are single so long as they stay faithfull when they get married. dont you thing their parner and God will understand?

@Gbawe

What you should understand is that their are so many sycophants on nairaland. Those in government are aware of this forum and their PA's are registered, so whenever you say anything against their masters they come out fuming with all manner of insults.

there is no way you can reason with them. Imagine the original poster mentioning the president,

vigasimple:
The above is the extract of the message by OBAMA to Nigerian govt led by President YAR A'DO NOTHING  or if you prefer  YAR A'CLUELESS. it sums up exactly what our govt do.

Anenih has been in and out of government. It's only in Nigeria that somebody in power will continue in office even after glaring allegations. Recently, ministers resigned in Britain over what even LGA councillors give to their children. Look how it was blown all over the press. Presently even the current Prime Minister is not sure of his political future. Why is it always annoying to some people when corrupt leaders are mention. Simple "They are sycophants".
