this mans mouth odor just spoil my day

I Think of all the SS niger delta communities hosting IOCs, Akwa Ibom is the most peaceful, and in Nigeria if you are peaceful, you will be taken for a ride.

Despite the fact that this is the state contributing the most to the country, it is not evident in the populace that there is wealth. I am not advocating violence, but Akwa Ibom peolple should step up their game and use available channels to curry the best to themselves.





PS. No parasitic bigot should quote me.

noooooo lets sit and allow the yorubas to take it all

fake.... simple thing like making him look old, nollywood no fit!

I am adding to this topic by TonyeBarcanista. I am not blaming anybody but I will share my experience growing up in Eket. And I’d use Mobil as reference since I know it very well. Unfortunately, its common knowledge that Nigerian Economy runs on oil. It’s true that the actions of the Niger Deltans are wrong like in the case of militancy. But we can shed the truth that the menace suffered in this regions is terrible and its overall impact on the Niger Delta people borders on gross injustice.
Since 1956.
Oil corporations in the Niger Delta seriously threaten the livelihood of neighboring local communities. Due to the many forms of oil-generated environmental pollution evident throughout the region, farming and fishing have become impossible or extremely difficult in oil-affected areas, and even drinking water has become scarce. Malnourishment and disease appear common.
The presence of multinational oil companies has had additional adverse effects on the local economy and society, including loss of property, price inflation, prostitution, and irresponsible fathering by expatriate oil workers. While the story told to consumers of Nigerian crude in the United States and the European Union—via ad campaigns and other public relations efforts—is that oil companies are a positive force in Nigeria, providing much needed economic development resources. Example is the poster at the airport about Mobil.
What has Mobil actually done? Nothing!
The worst road in my state connects from Marina to QIT Mobil. Or is it for the Government to fix?

I used an article from a research and I found this to be very true. “Far from being a positive force, these oil companies act as a destabilizing force, pitting one community against another, and acting as a catalyst—together with the military with whom they work closely—to some of the violence racking the region today”.
Or is it the owners? Who haven’t for once stepped foot in the region but buy blocks…?

What are the issues?
• Environmental Degradation (Natural Gas Flaring, Oil Spills, Pipelines and Construction, Health Impacts) (1956 till date --- gas is being flared at Ibeno QIT terminal even till now as I write 24/7.) why?

"The most conspicuous aspects of life in contemporary Ogoni are poverty, malnutrition, and disease."
-Ben Naanen, Oil and Socioeconomic Crisis in Nigeria, 1995, pg. 75-6
Like in Ogoni villages, they have no clean water, little electricity, few telephones, abysmal health care, and no jobs for displaced farmers and fisher persons, and adding insult to injury, face the effects of unrestrained environmental molestation by Shell every day.
Shell claims to clean up its oil spills, but such "clean-ups" consist of techniques like burning the crude which results in a permanent layer of crusted oil meters thick and scooping oil into holes dug in surrounding earth (a temporary solution at best, with the oil flowing out of the hole during the Niger Delta's frequent bouts of rain)

• Natural Gas Flaring
• Oil Spills
• Pipelines and construction
• Health impacts - The Nigerian Environmental Study Action Team observed increased "discomfort and misery" due to fumes, heat and combustion gases, as well as increased illnesses. Owens Wiwa, a physician, has observed higher rates of certain diseases like bronchial asthma, other respiratory diseases, gastro-enteritis and cancer among the people in the area as a result of the oil industry

• The oil company Police and the Internal Security Task Force (I won’t say anything) (bribes) (Terror ETC) (execution)

In Nigeria, Oil companies influence upon the government
In 1990, MOSOP created the Ogoni Bill of Rights, which outlines the major grievances of the Ogoni, and applies to the peoples of many other oil producing areas. The major points of the Ogoni Bill of Rights are:
• Clean up of oil spills
• Reduction of gas flaring
• Fair compensation for lost land, income, resources, life
• A fair share of profits gained from oil drilled at their expense
• Self-determination

MY EXPERIENCE
A friend of mine wrote exams. He passed. He felt he did well after months of study. When the results were out, his was missing. The father tried to find out what happen, since he’s in the system but came back and told the son to try another job or travel out. Later we got the whole gist from the wife who said the dad met the man in charge and he told him that his son did very well he even showed him. Then said to my friend’s dad that he knows what to do if he really wants his son to enter.
(The placed is filled with outsiders who now reduce to using occult and dangerous affiliations)
Indigenes at first were considered illiterates and we thank God for Heritage Polytechnic now they result to drugs and guns. All cuz of lack of jobs. (A guy was robbed last year around Akop Adi, the boys didn’t ask for money but cocaine and guns) today, in Eket> drugs and guns are what the indigenes are unto. The curse of Oil way don dey fall> 1959 till 2016 nothing to show. It’s a disgrace.

The Niger Delta Situation And The Misguided Niger Delta Avengers Group should be the appropriate subject!
