Hunnay, you are too mush

dsylvo:
IT'S VERY CLEAR U SERVED IN ONE OF THE ND COMMUNITIES.

IT'S NOT DAT THE ND REGION IS NOT GETTING ALLOCATION FROM THE FGN BUT D ALLOCATION (13%) IS SUCH DAT MUST FAIL.

IF ALL U SCORED IN UR EXAMS WAS 13% U WOULDN'T HAVE HAD D OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE, U SEE WHAT I MEAN??

IF ALL DAT D REST OF NIGERIA WAS GETTING FROM ND FOR INSTANCE WAS 13%, NIGERIA WOULD DISAPPEARED BY NOW.

D LEADERS U REFERRED TO WERE LOOTING FAILED ALLOCATION. IT'S NOT 13% DAT DEVELOPED LAGOS, ABUJA ETC, IT WAS OVER 80% CASH FROM ND.

I ALSO UNDERSTAND DAT ASO ROCK WAS COMPLETELY BUILT WITH PROCEEDS FROM ND.

TRUE FEDERALISM & RESOURCE CONTROL IS D ANSWER.

I totally concur with your views, the current form of resource allocation allows for laziness and it's making our elected officials redundant since they know Oyel money will always drop monthly.
Is it not funny that most infrastructures we have on ground now were the ones built during the period when we operated regional government?
The question is


1) How do we go about getting this regional government
2) If resource control finally comes to stay, I hope this same problem won't occur in the ND? Truth be told, I've no faith in majority of their leaders

Legitbaba:
This is what I hate most....what are u talking about What has the federal govt. Done with the remaining percentage?? What has Nigeria achieved since after the white men left us?? Nothing, absolutely nothing. We are still grappling with same issues of, "no light" no this, no that....we have people suffering in every parts of the country.. wether in Lagos or Abuja.... even as the fed. Govt is taking the larger chunk of the proceeds from oil..
.the Niger Delta Is in a seemingly worse state because of the terrain and the endless oil pollutions..which deserve endless developmental strides...
Nothing is gonna work when the mega watts generated in omoku is taken to federal grid before being re distributed to rivers state, nothing will work when Ekiti state is waiting for the month to run out to go to Abuja for their pay without working...yet ull have the guts to call the Niger Deltan people lazy

We can't fight our state govts. Or elders because they don't control the police, or military which is supposed to give us security. We can't fight our state govts. Because they have no direct influence on how oil companies should or shouldn't operate...we can't fight our state govts because they only get what d federal govt decides and not necessarily what they deserved....


Just leave us alone... make every body answer him papa name, since u guys said we are even too lazy to work...allow us to die in our laziness....just leave us alone thats what we want

Lollllll, OK baba but you seem to have forgotten none of us here have influence in the government.
1) What has the government done with the remaining percentage? I don't have an answer to that but don't you think it will be wise to at least spend the little they get on developmental things since the govt has failed?
2) I like your submission that this suffering cuts across all geopolitical zones in Nigeria, this is why we need to start holding our leaders accountable.
3) As regards the resource thing, I'm with you on this as the current situation has only encouraged laziness of governors as well as provide an environment for siphoning public funds. I will love it if we can go back to the previous arrangement of Western region, Eastern region etc.
4) You are only making excuses for the ineptitude of the state government, what happened to spending the little they get judiciously? How can we explain a situation where Bayelsa is finding it difficult to pay civil servants?
5) As regards the lazy mentality of ND youths, well I will speak for the ones I came across during my short time in their midst. A sizable number of them have the mindset of 'anything for the boys' but at the same time there are also a lot of them who know what they are doing.




No be only you Nigeria tire

highmood:
now you are making a point. I served in one of those communists in Ogbia and I passed through the narrow swampy road beside those oil wells in oloibiri to my PPA. Its just two route to my PPA; one is through the creek that takes up to 1hr30mins while the other is the swampy bush part takes almost the same time depending on the season. So, I have been and heard from some repented militants and thier elders in that community where I served. The government both federal, state and local government are first guilty of negligence. I really pitied that community members. It is a case of the Rich also Cry. If the government at all levels had wanted to develop those communities they can but they took the easier option of bribing the leaders just to drill the oil.

I totally agree with you as regards the government part, it's just that people here have chosen to ignore the fact that greed on the part of ND elders and representatives are a contributing factor to the rot. Like someone postulated earlier, if all the agencies set up are not functioning properly, then government should start handling developmental projects solely without involving these thieving agencies/leaders

Omeny:
Then if all these agencies and ur %tages has proven ineffective, and an avenue to loot pple's patrimony, let FG scrap them all. Don't give anybody any money,then Build ND for us and our children with natural wealth from God! How diff is this for the Nig state?

Nigeria as a country owns it a duty, to develop the ND for the sacrifices that region has given Nigeria. It is NEVER in our history to use another pple's wealth to go develop other regions all in the name of one Nig except Oil from ND. Oil palm from the East,Rubber from the Mid-west,Ground Nut from the North,Cocoa from the west where all spent in their regions!

I totally agree with the bold, let's hope when that day comes when we have a leader that can be bold enough to do this, people won't start screaming marginalization without looking at the big picture.



God bless Nigeria

Omeny:
The question I keep asking pple like you is, was it the people of Lagos and Abuja FG gave money to that made these places what they are today with Oil money or FG carried out massive devt and put policies in place!

How many times have we shouted for pple like you to hear that ND don't need peanuts given to few people from resources God in his wisdom blessed our region with?

Let FG on their own focus on ND developmentally.
U can not give few pple 1kobo from 1000k from resources u got from their place and said go ask ur pple.
The money FG shares is for individuals carrying out development for all is another thing.
This will only happen in the ND because I know,the west won't take it talkless the North.
Resource control and True Federalism was stopped in Nig immediately oil was found, have you ask urself why?

God Bless Nig.

The question is what has the Ministry of Niger Delta and the NDDC plus the 13% oil derivative achieved?

adehab:
You are absolutely right. I served In that area

The Elders and Leaders are the problem in ND.

I could not even survive in the area 5 years ago


Poor ND

Eeyah, my ppa was a bit manageable, as regards the bold I didn't get to visit many communities but the few fishing camps/villages I usually come across when going to the major city showed me there is absolute poverty in the region but the truth is if the leaders of the respective communities had spent at least 50 percent of money allocated to the region for development, things wouldn't be this bad.

ogb5:
Is your hatred for the Niger delta inbuilt or was it acquired?

How did Jonathan's rule of 2010 to 2015 equal 6 yrs.

Did you get F9 in maths?

It's funny you discarded the points he raised while focusing on inconsequential maths. I served in one of these oil communities and I can confidently say leadership at community level is one of the major things causing unrest in that region. The FG cannot be left out too.

doll912:
Appreciate his ingenuity at what? Writing biased, self centered stuff? All this ten reasons this and that about women that jobless, gender biased baby boys who call themselves men write are what you call ingenuity? Lets just pretend you didn't say that.My friend pls go to bed and sleep you hear...Friday is still a working day.

Look it's a free world, you don't agree with his opinion; counter them with your own thoughts/arguments not by dismissing his work with a wave of the hand. That's just wrong Mami.

doll912:
But wait ooo, will Dangote's son write this or will Adenuga or Otedola's sons think like this op? Hmmmm... Anyway, the opinion of this OP is one in 7 billion. It's insignificant.

Instead of you to appreciate the guy's ingenuity, you are busy spitting opaks and for your information, your opinion about his write up is inconsequential same with my opinion of your post

farano:
Number 5 is very funny Well I won't mind being a second wife of Dangote

Le kwa ukwu, you never tire to dey show this yansh wey be like 100 naira plate of jollof rice?


Abeg no ban me o, I'm just trying to make common sense

Damn! That's a beast

I can relate with point 6, in addition the ladies have big bum bum. Affy hunnay, God bless you wherever you maybe even though I did you wrong.

It was a gory sight. The bike man was even eating. Another gal was even affected. The policeman was careless with his gun. Funny enough, the policemen came on a stupid mission.

This pikin, your kurukere waka don dey too plenty. Oginni

jopretty:
Most Men don't think the way you do, dear. A day difference means "she's too old" If she's not 10-15years younger, she can't be married. Smh

I believe it has to do with the way folks in our part of the earth are wired, the mom will be the first to scream if her son happens to be planning a life with an older lady.

Thank you jere, let those blind Bartimeus be yarning opaks

Jarizod:
nice reply dearbunmi buh dating older ladies can lead to maximum disrespect if it eventually leads to marriage! I have seen a pretty few cases like that..not really advisable

I believe it boils down to the personalities of the people involved in such a relationship and the Cash carrying capacity of the guy

jopretty:
I'm sure she thinks you will leave her tomorrow for a younger lover. Sadly, that's the case with such relationships.

From my perspective, a year difference is still negligible where problem lies is when the lady is say about 6 or more years older then we are most likely to have the kind of situation one Nigerian celebrity is currently facing.
I for one don't mind dating an older lady as long as the gap is not more than 5 years and she happens to be someone who takes care of herself (regular working out and things like that)

TeddyPendergrass:
haha

boys no dey smile. I sent them a mail too. no response yet.

I am thinking of setting up a new account and redoing the assessment. I pretty much got the hang of how to pass the first stage. the second stage is a bit tricky.

let me know when they get back to you please. my guess is this will be after applications is closed lool

Lol at the bold



The chances of that idea working looks slim considering the details will be the same. You can give it a try though.

TeddyPendergrass:
You will get a regret mail shortly. usually you get directed to take the online assessments immediately or save them for later.

right now I am battling with the 2nd stage of the assessment. I am supposed to get a congratulations message at the end of the 2nd assessment but all I ever get is a thank we will soon send you feedback message.

anyone know anything about this? thanks in advance

Hehehehehe


I got same too, nothing to indicate if I passed or didn't. I already sent a mail to the email address for Africa region but I'm yet to get a reply.
