There're many things to note about the crisis in the niger delta region, though to appreciate it in full u need to delve into history. What I'll attempt to do is provide u with key areas to research on, thereby enabling you to start grasping the full extent of the region's woes.

1 The mistake of 1914- amalgamation of incompatible social formations forcefully lumped together by Lugard for purely administrative ease.

2 Dubious legislations- Land use decree 1978, Petroleum decrees of 1969 & 1991, Land titles vesting decree 52 of 1993 & National inland waterways authority decree 13 of 1977.

3. Principle of derivation in revenue allocation- 100% 1953, 50% 1960, 45% 1970, 20% 1975, 2% 1982 1.5% 1984 3% 1992 etc etc.
It is also instructive to note that the exclusive federal jurisdiction over natural resources apply to only oil & gas.

4. Insensitivity of the federal government & state governments both past & present to development of the region since oil prospecting & exploration commenced since 1938.

Any objective individual would realise that the continued neglect & disregard of the rights of the region's peoples over the years could only culminate in the present day crises. In the words of Robert Nester Marley aka Bob Marley :
"you can fool some people sometime, but you cant fool all the people all the time, now you see the light, stand up <& fight> for your right" (emphasis mine)
If you ask me on any given sunday, I'd readily sacrifice peace & rather be content with equal rights and justice,

i jus wanna get somefin straight
was jeff k sacked because of a doctored report on d niger delta abi d date rape saga?
answers wt proof please (i.e links, dates etc)

ist things ist
i'm male, 25yrs, love d pussy & wont compromise it 4 d arse 4 any reason wtsoeva.
that being said, i wish to refer y'all to CAP 4 of CFRN 1999 specifically d sections dealing wt freedom of association, conscience, thought or any related section in d chapter; then try using ur brain 2 reason whether or not choosing to be with, love or screw someone of d same sex comes within d purview of d 9ja constitution.
Talkin about d moral issues involved, una wey de criticise d queers; una nor dey Bleep? values are withering away quite right but it's grossly unfair to blame d queers alone 4 d depreciation of our moral values. youths see sex as normal nowadays, prostitutes line d streets & here we are bitching about who screws who. He that is without sin should cast d ist stone.
If all dse fuss were centered on female genital mutilation, abortion or legalization of cannabis one would understand.
Buttomline is, queers have rights too just like u & me & until we grasp d true meaning of d idiom "different strokes for different folks", we'll keep chasing shadows cus like it or not gay practice is as old as time & all dse plenty talk wont make it go away one bit cus it's one of those things that have come to stay so d nigerian society should either put up wt it or shut d hell up.
& as regards d proposed enactment it will be a dead or redundant law just like d one relating to bigamy
On a final note, if two consenting adults of different sex choose to engage in sexual practices in the privacy of their bedroom pray tell me why their gay counterparts should not be allowed d same rights/freedom in peace.
Abeg make una leave d queers alone. If any of them toast u u get right to say no.Simple as abc

it's obvious to the reasonable man that pc is visibly d most organised frat in 9ja, tho that is not 2 say they dont exist in our campuses as majority of seadogs claim. either its leadership is not aware or they're just pussy-footing about the issue.
the idea of using this platform to attack eachother verbally goes to show the shallow mentality of some forum users. every injus-man knows d reason he decided to join wteva confra he belongs so lets learn to both co-exist peaceably wt eachother irrespective of diverse fraternal affiliations & profer objective suggestions on ways to redeem the already tarnished image of confraternities in 9ja cus whether we choose to admit it or not, confra has come to stay & lots of lives & futures of today's leaders (students) are either put on hold indefinitely or in most cases outrightly derailed on a daily basis because nigerian confraternities are poorly organised in their aims, structure & principles.

hi guys
check out ds site www.odan.org & try layin hands on the book "In God's name" by David Yallop or "The great controversy" by E.G White & have i little insight on the character and aims of the papacy right thru d ages till date.
2pac said "let the lord judge the criminals" so i comment my reserve on the atrocities the catholic church have perpetrated on earth.

cijay 10ks 4 ur post how u check man u v. Inter yesterday? holler

ok! making friends & finding luv on nairaland/list can be one hell of a task right? well d aim of this thread or zone is to make such tasks easier for students, assuming for instance that 90% of pple who come here are students in either higher institutions or other.
Lets make it work & if we're committed & lucky we just might have our own child board.
Lets's start by introducing our selves, stating current institution/course/level of study, interests/hobbies & indicating whether we're interested in friendship, networking, dating, etc. Infact give us d whole nine yards u're willing to share online.
Here's a sample

hi y'all,
i'm tope mavis (*1)
law, oau, pt 2.
likes: soccer, novels, movies, lawn tennis
interested in making friends from other higher institutions esp those wt a healthy appreciation of literature/writing.
I also never walk alone & recently pulled madrid's liver 4 times , lol

d thing nor hard pass like that so go ahead, introduce urself & make useful suggestions as to how we can make d concept better. we cld start by choosing a name 4 d thread bw students' zone or students' pub.
well, more action less talk lets go start something!!!

p.s
d sample profile is real & mine 4real
& d (*1) stands for number 1 or do u think it's unnecessary?

jus 2 days in nairaland & i'm lovin every bit of it cus dis is one hell of i thread
anyways i feel religious leaders shd be very mindful of statements especially those made to media outlets so as to avoid spinning d wheels of inter/intra religious acrimony in our society wc is already beset by almost too numerous religious denominations.
dammytosh & texaspete, e clear say una de enter class that year
d rest of y'all shd leave d men of God alone & wait till God's judgement wc will come sooner dan expected, considering d trend of d present times. @ least by then breeze go blow everybody including u & my own yansh open & we shall differentiate bw real & fake men of God if need still be then.

hello 9ja rock fans!
abt coldplay winnin d awards it only goes 2 show dt their hardwork in d vivalavida album definitely didnt go unnoticed jus like lil weezy in rap category.
it's real sweet 2 meet 9ja pple who share my passion wt rock; it aint a singer bt i've got a vast collection of rock cds (wc i'm still adding to) from 'soad' (system of a down) to 'end of fashion', who i feel aint gettin their fair share of fame, but hey aint life a bitch
so lets keep it real & spread d gospel of rock & i'd like an avenue 2 get both old & new rock cds cus we're constrained in warri as regards purchasing rock music (dem nor de move market) so dey say @ enerhen junction
