Over the years, the people of Ndokwa land have been exploited, oppressed and denied their rights by both the federal government and Delta State government. Ndokwa nation is one of the ethnic groups in Nigerian. The people are found in three local government areas of Nokwa-West, Ndokwa-East and Ukwani. In the old Midwestern Region and Bendel State, the people inhabited Ndokwa Local Government Area with headquarters in Kwale.
In the past 50 years, the federal government has exploited oil in the area without any tangible development.  It is on record that Ndokwaland  has abundant crude oil deposit contributing over 110,000 barrels daily with an estimate of more than $2billion in revenue accruing  to the Federal Government of Nigeria since AGIP and its joint venture partners commenced operations since 1962.  Ndokwaland also has one of the highest reserves of natural gas in Africa. This has made it possible for the community to host the first and one of the biggest gas powered plants ever built in Nigeria, that supplies over 15 percent of Nigeria’s electricity; yet, Ndokwa is in darkness. This project was commissioned  in 2005 by Olusegun Obasanjo with initial 480MW capacity (with expansion capacity of up to 960MW).  It is pathetic to note that eleven years down the line, Ndokwa nation is still in darkness.
So far, the only noticeable federal presence is the Nigerian army who escort expatriate workers to the oil fields and guard oil wells. No roads, no power supply or any tangible social amenities Tthe only gains from oil explorations is  gas flaring with  the attendant economic and health hazards. The 13% derivation payable to the state for the development of oil bearing communities is never applied to the development of Ndokwaland. What appears to be a change in the narrative of Ndokwa people is the passage of the bill to establish a federal polytechnic in kwale. The bill was passed in the senate, 8 December, 2018 and in House of Representatives, 3oth april, 2019. Customarily, the bill is supposed to be assented to by the President, alongside similar bills for the establishment of federal polytechnics in Daura and Gombe, but the President has not signed the bill for the establishment of the polytechnic in kwale, whereas he has signed the bills for the establishment of polytechnics in Daura and Gombe which have taken off in 2019/2020 academic session. At the time of writing this piece, the President has not signed, neither has any reason been given.
The strange dimension to the narrative is  that the Deputy Senate President,  Ovie Omo-Agege wants to take the same polytechnic to his constituency, particularly to his community, Orogun. This might explain why the bill for the establishment of  the Federal Polytechnic, Kwale has not been signed, even when available yardsticks supports the view that Ndokwa people deserve it.  It is instructive to point out that urhobo land which Omo-Agege represents in the Senate already has seven tertiary institutions, whereas the entire ndokwa nation does not have any. The tertiary institutions in urhobo land are two federal institutions and five state owned institutions. The federal institutions are the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Warri,  Petroleum Training Institute (PTI)( This awards ND and HND certificates), while the state owned institutions are Delta State University, Abraka,  about five kilometers to Omo-Agege village, , Delta State Polytechnic, Oghara,  College of Education, Warri;  College of Education, Mosoga and College of Health Technology, Ughelli, the local gvernment headquarters of the deputy senate president. It has not been hidden that Omo-Agege wants to use his powers and influence in the current administration to influence the president and other influential members of this administration to make sure that the federal polytechnic ceded to Delta State is taken to his constituency. I wish to state that he has not made full disclosure to the President and other persons he has enlisted for this job. He has not told them that there are already two federal tertiary institutions in his constituency (Federal  University of Petroleum Resources,  Warri, and Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) Warri),  in addition to five state owned tertiary institutions listed above. The quest to take the polytechnic to his constituency is unnecessarily greedy and excessively domineering. This disposition of the deputy senate president probably explains why the president has not signed the bill for the establishment of the Federal Polytechnic,  Kwale,  while the president has signed the ones for Daura and Gombe
Arising from the above, it is my submission, and for the sake of equality and fairness that Mr President should not work  with Omo-Agege to further the oppression of Ndokwa people. Ndokwa people, with headquarters  in kwale contribute immensely to the national purse as barrels of crude oil are shipped out of the community on a daily basis. It is further noted that the Federal Polytechnic, Kwale, if established will  promote equity  in Nigerian nation and Delta State and help to produce the needed manpower for the development of the fledging oil industry in Kwale.

Sometimes December, 2018, a bill establishing federal polytechnic, Kwale, Delta State, alongside such other polytechnics as the federal Polytechnic, Daura was passed by The National Assembly and passed on to the president for assent. We believe that this bill has been assented to by the President as the polytechnic in Daura has commenced operation in 2019/2020 academic session. However, we are surprised to note that the federal polytechnic, Kwale has not taken-off. Curiously enough, we learnt that there is another bill in The Senate to establish another federal Polytechnic in Orogun, Delta State sponsored by the Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo Agege. We hope this is not to take the place of the Federal Polytechnic, Kwale that has been established by an Act. This observation is important because so far the convention is that each state is entitled to a federal polytechnic. It is also necessary to note further that Orogun is located in Delta Central Senatorial Distrrct, home to the Urhobo ethnic group. At present, this area is home to seven tertiary institutions made up of two universities (Delta State University, Abraka, not far from Orogun, Federal University of Petroleum Resources; two colleges of educations inWarri and Mosoga; noe polytechnic in Oghara and a monotechnic(Petroleum Training Institute), and one college of health technology on Ughelli.

Kwale is home to the Ukwani speaking people of Delta State, and one of the local government headquarters of old Bendel State. Kwale is also home to more than ten oil companies that are into oil exploration. This means that Kwale community contributes handsomely to the national treasury. Also, notable is the Independent power plant that supplies electricity to Aso Rock that is located in the community. Considering the above, we believe that Kwale deserves the Federal Polytechnic, which is the only federal presence in the entire Ndokwa nation comprising three local government, The Community is appealing to President Mohammadu Buhari and the federal lawmakers to give the federal Polytechnic, Kwale the needed support to facilitate its take-off. This no doubt will strengthen the people's belief in justice and equity.

The 80,000,000 each and everyone of them will get is good amount of national cake to rescue them from everlasting sorrow if the soil

Is either they invest with the money here in Nigeria or they travel to cote de voire where they will enjoy there life to the brim, build new house start a new business or rather fix the money in one of the banks and get access to France where they will be given asylum permit

Trust me if this country has favored them what so ever they wouldn’t have done that because sooner or later they will have 400M but let me tell you they can never work for 36 years in service and have 8M talkless of 80M. , it serves the GOC right , they should speak for the weak and everything will return to normal
