Read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and study it very well. After you are done with it make sure to distribute it to all your friends who like to read and make sure they read it studiously. That is a book that should be taught in every classroom in Nigeria.

Chiznonso:
U made a wrong statement here, Abuja was built by the Oil profit dollars from the South South, where did Nigeria got the dollars to build the city, nothing like FCT Admin, the FCT Admin got the money from Oil exports, they even borrowed money using future oil exports as guarantee. Pls get your facts together pls

Yes you are correct but money is still an inanimate object. It can think and plan neither can it build which is exactly what the FCT Admin did. Having money is one thing, using it to accomplish your goals is a whole different thing.

Chiznonso:

And again the offshore is owned by ND inside Nigeria because if any pollution occurs they suffer the consequences.

First of all, we are talking about oil fields that are over 113 kilometers off the coast (that's probably over an hours drive if it were on land) not something close by or along the coast. Secondly you need to read up on maritime law and understand the difference between international waters and territorial waters because unfortunately to tell you those waters belong to a sovereign state and any country that encroaches on those waters without permission is technically violating the territory of that nation which in this case happens to be Federal republic of Nigeria.

henrydadon:
pls dont tell me sh!t about black man mentality

oh so u are telling me someone like rita dominic cant cater for kid

e be like say your brain dey overheat

she is old enough have her own child and also have the financial means to take good care of that child

so pls tell me what stoping her

is it the too much money?

Bros, you are assuming that everyone wants children.

Chiznonso:
Who are U ask about how ND spent their own Money? In fact what did U do with the remaining 87%, ND provides 97% of Nigeria's foreign reserves,. Niger Delta produces 96% of our export revenue, U actually don't understamd that statement @ all. Obasanjo used ND oil money to pay Nigeria's External Debt of 16bn dollars, the money came virtually from Oil. Please keep quiet, U have no clue. U have no right to ask ND what she did with her money, what did U do with what she gave U? What have U even produced for the economy? Ordinary Cocoa U can't optimise it, Nigeria does 250k tonnes, Ivory Coast does 1.8m tonnes, Nigeria in history has neva earned up to 1.5 billion dollars in a year from Cocoa exports, ND produced $99bn of oil and gas exports in 2013 alone. She made 77bn in 2014. Until you make $5bn annually from Cocoa, U can open your mouth and talk. When did she even start collecting all these money, she fought for every single bit of this Income source, it wasnt free although it all came from her soil

Bros, you do know that more than half of Nigeria's oil production is waaaay offshore right? In fact, onshore production has really plummeted. Some oil companies have sold some of there land holdings and are going deep into the sea.

Stupedinluv:
You generalised but its true for so many. Me am tired of them already, i want a foreign/European partner.

You do know that a lot of this Europeans or white folks don't find black woman attractive right?

Ekiti kete in the house.

dollyjoy:
Van is more handsome than the wife, He for marry me. Hahahahahaha.

You fine pass him wife?

newbornmacho:
But you know its true. You teamed up in a war to ensure your access to oil without any consideration for the owners true or false? You allocate oil blocks without consideration for the owners true or false? What have you even done for this region? Be honest. The wasteful profligate lifestyle of the bourgeoisie in this country is at the expense of this region with nothing absolutely nothing given in return. They've had enough.

First of all, who is the "you" you keep talking about? Last time i checked i "never teamed up in a war to ensure access to oil without any consideration". I never "allocated" oil blocks without consideration for anybody?
Finally, i will admit that you are right. I have never done anything for the Niger Delta region neither have i looted from them.

Chiznonso:
The same FG that has developed the skill in collecting oil dollar profits gotten from ND, should know how to spend the dollars there.

Guy, i am still waiting for the answer to my question. Stop deflecting and give me your answer.

cocoduck:
Your analogy is totally wrong, a child that says its mother won't sleep will not sleep. You exploit every thing there and expect them to be good school children, for wusai

So you are comparing the Niger Delta avengers to petulant children who throw tantrums when they don't have there way?? How apt a description hahahahaha Give yourself 10 gbosa's jare. Thank you for proving my point.

donborg:
the administration of FCT did wonders indeed. Let them do d same WONDERS in warri naa abi Warri naNiger delta region.mtcheeew.

Who is the "them" you are referring to? Is it El Rufai? Why don't you encourage him to run for the governor of your state so that he can perform the same "magic".

newbornmacho:
What do you mean by holding accountable?? The youth are revolting against the entire arrangement that short changes their region including state and local level politicians. The corrupt systems of state have been designed by the same people you expect it to be used against. You think the governors and LGA chairmen are enjoying militancy? When tyranny becomes the law rebellion becomes a duty. Besides you are avoiding the big picture: Hausa fulani coopted the Yoruba in a game of numbers to loot the delta. They created the laws, decided the boundaries, ceded bakassi, refuse even to negotiate and you want the militants to do what? Clap for you? Be real.

Omo! see reasoning. Guy, you can't cut your finger off just to punish your hand now. Na yourself you dey do. Chei! naija mentality na wa o.

First of all, when you blow up a pipeline, you destroy the environment rendering it useless for Agricultural production for maybe a hundred years according to scientific estimates.
Secondly, Nigeria's number 1 export is oil which means that when production is disrupted the economy is affected making a tough economic situation worse for everyone including those in the Niger Delta (the region you are concerned about).
You see Nigeria imports a lot of things which means that when the economy tanks and value of the naira goes down goods become expensive (inflation) making things not only worse for almost everyone in the country (including those in the Niger Delta) so you see that at the end of the day, you are punishing the same region that you claim to be looking out for. Isn't it sad?

Chiznonso:
Is it not the same Nigeria that Abuja was transformed from a Village to 2nd largest city built with Oil Dollars, do that same Magic to Niger Delta

First of all, Abuja is a city. The Niger Delta is an entire region. Big difference.

Secondly, the administration of the F.C.T did wonders with the city of Abuja. Why can't any city administrator or local govt chairman do the same with with at least one city in the Niger Delta region?

Thirdly, you still have not answered my initial question? Why aren't you holding your local and state govt officials accountable for embezzling the allocation they get.

The govt (be it central, state or local) should have no business getting involved in the oil business or controlling resources that's the job of the free market. We are not socialists for goodness sakes.

While i recognize the fact that local govts should be compensated in terms of royalties that should be the limit of govt intervention (that is unless there is environmental pollution). In a nutshell what i am saying is that govt (be it state or central) need to get there hands out of resource control and leave it to private enterprise that way we create jobs and economic prosperity. Until we learn private property rights and the power of the free markets in this country, the country might not reach its potential. I have said it before and i would say it again, STATISM does not work.

newbornmacho:
Embezzlement is not unique to the Niger delta, most Nigerian politicians loot. The agitation in the delta is about one region being shortchanged by an organized gang up of outsiders.

Dude, that's like saying because everyone around me is cheating and stealing therefore my crimes are not that bad.
Bros, don't decieve yourself, its all the same. What i am simply trying to say is that with the money the Niger Delta is getting there has been hardly any improvements so why all the clamor for more money? Do you trust the same leaders who embezzled the little they were getting to be faithful and prudent with more?

Also, you have still not answered my initial question? Why are you still not holding your local and state leaders accountable?

Chiznonso:
FG would have avoided all these mess by giving full resource control from the very beginning, No, they were very busy, controlling from the centre, sharing oil blocks to themselves, to the extent an Oil block producing 250,000 barrels a day( more than Gabon total production) pushed an ordinary Fashion Designer to the Richest Black Woman on Earth. No there's fire on the Mountain, they have retorted to plan B,

Good question but what you should be asking is why should the govt be controlling resources in the first place? Is it in there job description? Isn't it there job to monitor and to make sure everyone is following the rules?

You may as well extend your memory and nistalgia to the time when whites ruled Nigeria and things "worked" . you wrote this lengthy epistle with no mention of the causes of militancy, you compare lagos a place the represents the conspiracy against the Niger delta with warri a place that has suffered and is still suffering at the hands of hausa-fulani feudalists and their Yoruba accomplices, and you expect to be taken seriously. You want the owners of the oil to be content with welding and catering and even prostitution while the thieves cart away everything to their regions? Clap for yourself. Militancy was caused by marginalization and will continue until redress is made.

Dude, but why are you not holding your state leaders and local govt leaders accountable? They are embezzling the money allocated to your states and yet you guys only point to the fed govt or to the north.
Why don't the youth march to the state house of assembly or to there local govt administration and demand a change instead you guys are pointing to Abuja.

Mr. Man, if you are this concerned why don't you at least phone (or protest) your state representatives and tell them to focus on the issues that affect the region like passing a bill that would deregulate the oil and gas sector and provide jobs and economic prosperity to the Niger Delta. This is what they should be doing instead of embezzling money.

DesChyko:
That's Buhari's era for you.

A leopard never changes his spots.

My father did well to recount his experience during the first Buhari era. Unfortunately, others didn't remember to. Now, here we are.

Why is it that in a country of over a 100 million people we had to settle for two lackluster candidates? Why don't we have open primaries like they have in the U.S where the people vote to determine who represents there party in the general elections?
Won't it be good if we could the same thing in Naija where each state sets its own primary date and on that date the people of that state go to the polls to determine who wins there state (person who wins most number of states wins the party nomination) as supposed to just allowing the party cabals to do the picking? I don't know about you but i would rather the people pick there party candidates as supposed to some party insiders.

Ideally, i would have loved to see multiple candidates (upwards of 17) run for the APC nomination and another 17 run for the PDP nomination. Then the people in the various states vote in the primaries to determine who wins the right (the party winner) to represent there party (APC or PDP) in the general election. This way we would have better candidates and better ideas. I wonder why the person who wrote the Naija constitution didn't include this provision in there.

pritykate:
Hope We all are enjoying this change

The serious question we should be asking is why is it that there were no other candidates running for the leadership of this country? Why is it that in a country of over a 100 million people we had to settle for just this two? Why don't we have open primaries like they have in the U.S where the people vote to determine who represents there party in the general elections?

That way whoever carries the most number of states gets to represent there party in the general election.

Blue3k:
I said clearly if we get our act together. Why are you asking questions that's been answered 5 times. Do you need list of potential benefits both sides can have?

Niger benefits with cheaper oil, not being land locked potential investment, in industry other then subsistence farming, irrigation etc.

Nigeria benefits from resources, the have working nuke plants and materials we could use in future, more trade,better electrity deal with damn and negotiating power with water resorces. More power in regional affairs with in West Africa.

Even if we get our act together, its no excuse to annex a sovereign nation. We should mind our own business.

Blue3k:
I always thought Nigeria should Annex Niger if we could get our act together. I know it would tough since they speak French as their national language. The have nice resources and would be happier under our rule if only to escape soul crushing poverty.

And why would you want to annex someone else's country? Don't you guys have your own problems to worry about?

NO!, If we can get our act together, we would rather annex the Republic of Benin just closeby here. Niger is useless, Thank You!

Annex someone else's country?? why don't you focus on your country and its current state instead of worrying about a sovereign nation.
