They should not regret ooo... it's the change

It's high time we youths of this country give our politicians / leaders the "kano treatment "

In America PMS is sold for $80 in Europe it goes for $90. in most African countries it is sold equivalent to 175 Naira even when they have a working refinery refining the products.

I must commend the federal govt on this increase. This will curb corruption and add value to the growth and development of Nigeria.

We the Nigerian youths are solidly behind the FG. NLC are toothless bulldogs.

It's very difficult not to abuse people on NL because of people like you.

You should have asked yourself this simple question before rushing here to comment.

Since fuel according to you is $80/ litre in the USA (which is a lie anyway), can 80 naira buy you what 80 dollars would buy since you want to compare the currencies at par??

If them use the Z word for una now, una go dey vex.


Mind you I've always been against subsidy but for Buhari/APC to remove it after all the trash he spewed before and after elections, shows the biggest height of hypocrisy!!

Occupy 9ja people where una dey Fada Mbaka where you dey??

Meanwhile I'm not against the removal of subsidy but when you decide to cut off the nose to spite the face, you should be ready to accept the stigma Which comes next.

Ordinary English u can't even speak...it is LOSS not LOST.

Check your dictionary for the difference if you have one; or since you have a smartphone with 10 MB that made you come here to spew trash, you can check Google.

Negotiate on what?? don't come here to make silly noise.
Upon assuming office one of the President's first promises was to clean up the nigerdelta. Already resources have been set aside for this. The nigerdelta has its own ministry and a special agency solely dedicated to improving infrastructure and devt in the region. But no, FG didn't stop at that. Govt even offered to forgive the atrocities of these same militants, set up the amnesty program and has spent billions training these same hoodlums both at home and abroad. Pls which other region in this country has received even half of this attention.
Now tell me what the so called NDA are fighting for?? Instead the blow up pipeline that will destroy the same community the claim to be fighting for more. These are nothing but terrorists with no other objective than death and destruction. Except you want to tell me u are enjoying the long queues for fuel and constant black outs

I mostly choose to ignore comments like yours but I just have to educate you on some matters. Have you asked yourself many questions like

1. Are these people being fairly treated

2. Is amnesty the real thing?? If not what is the root cause of all these.

KILL A PROBLEM AT ITS ROOT AND IT DIES FOREVER.

Amnesty is just a quick fix and not the panacea to this long aged issue.

Note: The lands and water have always been polluted due to oil exploration in the region and what have subsequent governments done about it.

The region is the live wire of the country yet it's treated like a rabid dog in the event of things simply because it's a heterogeneous region that do not have one language hence treated as minorities.

I dare to say if the ND people's interests are adequately represented, and just half of what is spent on the militarisation of the creeks is spent on GENUINE COMMUNITY development not just stipends which enrich some and keep some poor, the ND people will personally protect these pipelines for FREE and I'll see the son of belial who will take a grenade up there to blow oil installments.

MILITARISING THE ND HAS NEVER WORKED AND WILL NEVER WORK!! BUT ONLY TRUE FEDERALISM CAN

This is the solution to all this rubbish

Tony Osborg; A promoter of True Federalism in the country wrote on his Facebook Timeline...................................

Late last year I was assigned by my employer to manage and supervise a project somewhere close to the Atlantic ocean in Bayelsa State; a flow station precisely.

I noticed that the number of military security there was as almost equal as the number of people working on the flowstation. At the flowstation, we had a permanent stationed houseboat full of armed military men. There were several gun boats as well. The over twenty room house boat was filled with military men; all protecting us and the facility. Each time we visited Amassoma, we always had two gun boats escorting us from behind and in front. There are also over three military check points along the River Niger, all comprising of Navy, Civil Defence and the Army.

If you are familiar with the Niger Delta oil locations, you will agree that these locations are the most secured locations in Nigeria. Every flowstation has a mini barrack, every road leading to a wellhead has a military check point. A multinational oil company I visited last week recently changed their policy on security; every single staff visiting any site must have a minimum of two security vehicles, one in front and another behind. These multinationals spend alot of money on military security.

It is not an accident to see that every oil location has a mini barrack to protect the workers and the facilities. It is a well planned strategy to surpress the ever reoccuring agitations arising from the exploration activities in those locations.

The Federal Government knows that it is stealing from those oil communities and locations, it also knows that agitations will always arise due to perceived injustice and environmental degradations. In order to permanently control such uprisings, the Federal Government and their partners (IOCs) resolved to use permanent military confrontation as a way of eliminating the anticipated uprisings. Even CBN headquarters does not have the kind of military security you find in oil locations. What does this tell you?

If oil producing communities are made stakeholders in the exploration activities in their territory, military security will be unnecessary. If your community is making $80,000 dollar monthly from the exploration activities in your community, I am sure your community will provide guaranteed security for the oil workers and the facilities within the community, even for free.

This is the point I am trying to make. The Federal Government is not only a thief, it is also the major cause of insecurity in the oil producing communities and the whole of Nigeria.

When you alienate people from their land and their natural resources and keep them in poverty, they tend to revolt and see both the oil workers, the oil facilities and the govt officials as their enemy. Militancy becomes inevitable.

When you make oil communities become stake holders in the exploration activities, thereby making them wealthy, the protection of the oil workers and the facilities become their responsibility. Every attack on the oil facility is an attack on their income. This is common sense security measure.

This is one area the Federal Government has refused to look at. I am sure if the oil producing communities receive just 10% of every wealth extracted from their lands, there will be peace.

Never! The Federal Government of Nigeria will rather spend a billion Dollar on military security than give the same amount to the communities and make security the community's responsibility.

The oil producing communities of Nigeria are the biggest losers of this unitary-military system. Their lands are degraded, their health threatened, their future bleak, their wealth stolen and their economy is miserable. Yet it is from their backyard that the whole country is sustained. Militancy, bunkering and vandalism becomes inevitable. These are all forms of protests and survival tactics. It is unfortunate that the youths have to steal their own crude oil to survive and be labelled as vandals while the country and its politicians lavishes the crude oil wealth all in the name of running a unitary-military 'feeding bottle' government.

The part of the PIB which was suppose to make communities become stakeholders and enable them provide security guarantee for oil facilities in their domain has been tactically suspended from the bill without any meaningful explanation.

Nigeria is a criminal state. The earlier we unbundle this country and entrench true federalism, the better.

BTW, Those calling for the annhilation of ND people are simply mad...yes...very very mad.

What u people don't know, and I will keep saying is this... If the soldiers had it rossy during the early days of Militancy, do you think they would have opted for Amnesty Some of you people just sit down in your houses with your premature brains talking nonsense. have u been to the creeks?? If these boys are still able to carry out operations of these magnitudes, then it goes to show the military is ineffective in the creeks because the ND; especially the flow stations in the Creeks are now mobile barracks. So how could these boys carry out their operations

Somebody referenced Obasanjo's "exploits" in Odi hmmmm....how many years ago was that? Even if he enters power today again, he won't try it cos Nigerians are more enlightened than then.

my 2 cents

true words from a discerning mind. #truefedralismnigeria

Very true. It's really overdue...We are not going forward like this and the truth is we can never go forward like this.

I know my People will personally hunt anybody or persons that will go and blow up oil pipelines when they are benefitting directly from it.

The case of ND people is a scenario where a diary cow is being milked to feed the family, but starved of food for sustainability.

@ Mods please I mistakenly created this topic twice due to your server been down as at time of upload. Kindly delete one and move the comments into the other if possible. Thanks

Decided to share this and it is a true reflection of what is really happening in the ND.

People with brains, a sincere heart and and a sense of True patriotism will accept this...but I know the ILK that will come shouting wolf. But we all should know that only a fool continues doing something in a particular way, expecting a different result.

I've never been, aluminium roofed houses are ok but it isn't real progress, personal houses only show individual prosperity, it's not for communal good... I'd prefer stuff like Primary health care with the latest "bells and whistles", scholarships and youth empowerment ish, that is my definition of "trying" for people whose "struggled" made billionaire of him.....

The people (his own people BTW) who insist he has just used them to enrich himself and his unborn generations are probably using the yardstick of what real development (real world standard) entails...

As per sincerity of government, it's relative..who has been and who isn't? .... we live in a complex society delineated along tribal, sectional and religious fault lines, we also don't conform to any societal conventions.... one size doesn't fit all...

Again you made sense and I really like your comprehension and the way you table your points unlike some persons here... Kudos!

good question

modath:
The problem with this is that one way or the other, a particular set will turn themselves to warlords and Lord it over the budding militants who will then continue the vicious circle.....without giving back mere crumbs to the communities on whose backs the "benefits" of the "struggle" are derived.

Tompolo has billions, one kindergarten centre, primary health care facility for at infants and mothers or vocational school to learn trades he didn't establish.

Asari has a university but the whole of south south of Nigeria isn't good enough for him to establish it..

1 thing that is in the charter of demands that is baffling is the clean up of the oil producing areas.... you are complaining of degradation and you are still doing this to your people??

This is not a fight about ideology, this is sabotage....

Have you been to Gbaramatu Kingdom?? I'm not a Fan of Tompolo, but the guy did things over there. That guy made sure nobody lived in a thatched house in the whole community...u can confirm.

Where he missed it was forgetting the people who made him ( ND people and some of his boys) cos the struggle was theirs not his personal project.

He began to see himself as a demi god and he can go down for all I care especially after the connivance to put that docile goat Okowa as Governor and his cousin as Deputy Governor of Delta state.

You made quite a lot of sense and I agree with your recommendations though but you have to know that these people we call leaders and politicians, they know what to do but won't do it. It's just too obvious that the contraption called Nigeria can't work as a country ( I mean we are divided along many lines).

When we have sincere leaders who have the interest of the people in mind, then we can get it but till then, 9ja is just a ticking time bomb

Cows belong to the bush but in Nigeria we don't know that.

let dem kwanitu... I gat no love lost for any of em

I hope it's Uduaghan...fucki!!ng thieving bast@rd!!

Until that Bleep!!ng thief is squashed, I'll only see the EFCC as an agent that fights yahoo boiz

He refused to provide the VIN

He refused to give you the VIN then what are you waiting for before you run away??

Bros you seriously don't want car trouble if you can avoid it because the VIN will most likely also hint you on the history of the car. Make the guy park well joor!! Except maybe the price he's giving you is tempting

Oga Kachickwu...abeg why you dey tell us?? The "loots" when your Oga say una government don recover so, una no dey use am dey repair the refineries?? Abi the "recovered loots" na for paper sensation ??

I am serving at a very remote area of Enugu State and sch buildings are so dilapidated.. I have decided to take it upon myself to renovate a block of 3classrooms as my personal CDS.I have asked for funds frm d villagers but they have constantly remindered me that they are poor

I just want to ask if its possible for me to write MTN,GLO or AIRTEL for assistance... If yes,how do I go about it?

Inviting people to come and do it, changes it as your "personal CDS" the highest accolade would be to say you influenced and made the project possible.

Then as for renovating it; Meeting telecom companies to come and do it, hmmm I doubt. They are private businesses and don't do things they won't gain from. Someone rightly suggested you meet their local government chairman. They should have a rep at the state and national Assemblies; meet them.

Note: it will be difficult for only you to pull it off like that on your own sha... these men are politicians and like playing to the gallery, so it would be better if you had a team of like minds.

Another option is to write ETF( Education Trust Fund) with pictures of the school enclosed within. Good luck!!

Hope this is another ICC case against Nigeria loading!!

correctyourself:
Short-up your mount and dont say what you dont know! The security vote (money) being collected by the governor who is also the Chief Security Officer of th State , if he could not use the money gather info and sent to the FG, is it Former President Jonathan who would have known that those girls were to be taken away?

No matter how we look at it Governors of our States are supposed to know the security situation of their states they govern because none of the local Government they dont have friends/relations and info can easily come from these source. They can't say they don't know the security situation of that area before they started the examination, just that they were not proactive.

My brother may wisdom never run dry in your life! Some people because of free access to NL with cheap android phones and mtn 10mb will just be coming outside to talk rubbish.

APC made Nigerians focus on FG leaving d SG which is for them as grass root leaders.

The state governor is d CSO of the state. He should report security threats to d FG. Let d BBOG campaign move to Shettima's office to complain but I know they won't.

Then @ op...if you don't know what to say or do with ur 10mb, go take a chill pill and stop show casing your foolishness here...we ain't buying.!!
