Instead of you to ask your state govts to account for the 13% derivation fund which they have pocketed, you want to compel oil firms that pay all manner of taxes to federal govt to now start building roads, in the communities. If oil majors start building roads, then what is the work of govt? For your info., oil majors do not build roads in communities where they operate, in different parts of the world. It is only in Nigeria, that people demand for such things, from oil majors, instead of holding their leaders accountable.

Niger Delta is seriously damage and less develop. In few years from now when internal combustion engines will phase out, crude oil will be as cheap as water. Then, there will be no more hope to develop the Niger Delta. The people of Niger Delta should realise this and demand for 100% resource control. I hope it is not too late.

See life? Ah, so PHC International Airport is functional, too? Many of our people are fond of recycling propaganda, instead of facts!

joerock:
Don't be deceived by what you see... the contracts for these roads have been awarded over and over again... I live in these communities. They always eat the money and later cry foul... it's a big problem because these contracts must be awarded to big shots in the communities since any other way will lead to crisis... they end up eating the money and abandoning the contract... then some ignorant bafon will come here and cry foul... it's a pitiable and hopeless situation... I gave up on the ND along time ago

God bless you for telling the truth! I need to bookmark your post for future reference. One numbskull almost abused my ancestors in another thread, just because I said Port-Harcourt seaport and Onne ports were functional.

Ochima75:
Hello guys please can someone help me with the right part number for Mitsubishi Outlander 2003 model serpentine belt please i have been looking for it all over

SenatorM:
The Fault is From Federal Government.

Most of the Federal Roads in Delta State are very bad.

Why not open the sea port in Koko Delta state, and the ones in PH

You are quite correct! I know of a community where the oil exploration company operating inside there, wanted to build them a health centre and provide doctors, nurses and medicines, in order to improve the well-being of the people. Maternal mortality would have been greatly reduced by their own estimates, if this was done. This is because the nearest hospital was like 150km away, from that community.

The community leaders refused, and asked that the money be given to them instead. After a prolonged argument, the oil company's representatives, held a town meeting with members of the community. Guess what the youths and other members of the town wanted? A big hall, where they could hold meetings, drink beer and play drafts.

To cut the long story short, the oil company had to award a contract for the town hall to one of the chiefs from that community. He got 70% mobilisation. 4 years later till today, only 25% of the job has been executed, and the chief is somewhere in Port-harcourt enjoying his life, pocketed his own share of the money, and sharing the rest with the community leaders.

obailala:
The chiefs in the community probably prefer taking the money as cash which they eventually use in buying houses in Abuja and overseas to the detriment of basic infrastructure in their communities.

come on, 100 questions in 1 hour? Thatz what's given in POST UTME exams. Besides, if his iq is too high to be measured, how did you know his iq?

ultron12345:
This is what will soon be happening in Nigerian private hospitals since Nigerian patients feel that doctors don't deserve to be paid for their services because they think they studied Medicine to do charity and serve humanity for free.

No offense bro, you mentioned domination, not marginalisation.

Nonetheless, have you ever tried to investigate why the Igbo was so dominant in all the regions at the time?

Maybe a little research on commerce in pre and post colonial Nigeria would suffice.

you better go and bring them

ELKHALIFAISIS:
If Biafra is mentioned casually on Facebook, Twitter, Nairaland or Punch website, it is most likely that the first person that will ridicule or attack the post will be a Yoruba person. Sometimes even when Biafra is not mentioned in an article or news item, a Yoruba person will bring it into the discussion and start the attack.I've come to realise that the Igbos are great threat to yorubas, Igbos are Landlords to Yoruba's in many parts of lagos, is either you live as our tenants or you vacate Lagos for us,
Take away our Lagos Take away Lagos and yoruba land is doomed!! If Lagos belongs to the Yoruba's then let them come and Chase the Igbos away.. Its very simple. How can someone sit in ur house and tell U that Its not yours and U keep quiet.
It means U are a Coward....

egopersonified:
so because rivers is a "wet" state that is why you are campaigning for it to be included in biafra, isn't it the same "wetness" of the south that the Fulani wants to hold on to, by this statement, biafras are no better than fulanis

kattytamer:
You are the one embarassing yourself when you know nothing about me but blindly assume im not a deltan, and its senseless because it has nothing to do with whats on ground, when ibori, his wife and his gang of criminals were jailed by the uk authorities why didnt you organise a protest in his defence since you love him so much with you life? Or are they deltans also? Call a spade a spade and stop beating about the bush like a headless chicken. PDP has not done anything meaningful for delta state given the huge annual budgets, ibori is the godfather and should take the bulk of the blame, if delta state experienced reasonable developments in comparism with lagos I wont bother much if he stole like tinubu, even the us and uk are not free of corruption, but the leaders put in much work to better the lives of their citizens rather than the mindless looting we have here.

egopersonified:
Chukwu Okike Abiama can not be mocked.
Shebi they named it Rivers State?
Shebi they called it Port Harcourt.
Nature will make it Port-like by flooding it more than a river.
Till they retrace their steps and accept their identity as Biafrans and rename that land; Igweocha

saw this in the rivers state flooding aftermath thread, it was shocking

ELKHALIFAISIS:
you can't compete with the best that's why you are afraid to trade in Igbo land, if you can't compete with them in ur various States how do you plan to compete with them in their area, IGBOS ARE LEADING IN THESE CONTEXT AND THIS EFFORT HAS PROPEL IGBOS TO BE THE MAJOR DOMINANT GROUP IN ALL AREAS OF BUSINESSES AND PRIVATE VENTURES IN NIGERIA. IGBO DOMINATES IN ALL THE MAJORS MARKETS, PORTS, IMPORT/EXPORT, LOCAL COTTAGE INDUSTRIES AND MANUFACTURING BASE (IN LAGOS ABA, NNEWI AND ONITSHA ), INTER STATE TRANSPORTATION, HAULAGE, NOLLYWOOD, IGBOS ARE MAKING EFFORTS TO UPLIFT THEMSELVES IN MASSIVE SCALE BY THE NUMBER OF MARKETS AND BUSINESS VENTURES THEY DOMINATE AND CONTROL THROUGH DISTRIBUTION POINTS, TRANSPORTATION HUB, MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRY ALL THROUGH THE WEST AFRICAN REGION.ALL THESE EFFORTS BY LOCAL CONTENTS INDIGENOUS AND IGBO MADE EFFORTS, IGBOS HAVE LEFT THE WAR EXPERIENCE BEHIND AND THEY HAVE INCREASED THEIR EFFORT BY DOMINATING THE OTHER TRIBES THAT MOSTLY DEPEND ON GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS TO OPERATE . THEY WANT GOVERNMENT TO OPEN MARKET FOR THEM, BUILD BUSINESS FOR THEM, FEED THEM, CHANGE THEIR CLOTHS, BATH THEM. you should ashamed of ur miserable self that u are dragging shoulder with people that lose totally everything during the civil war, u are afraid of competition that's why no Afonja miscreant will support secessionist

Lincoln is in the Auto market More than a decade
The last time a completely new Lincoln Navigator arrived on the scene was back in 2007. Exactly a decade later, the all-new 2018 Navigator has had its official debut, and it’s about time. Even though Lincoln updated its predecessor for 2015, it very much lacked the ability to effectively compete against its cross-town rival, the Cadillac Escalade, or even the GMC Acadia Denali. But the 2018 Navigator is different, and we’re expecting great things from it. Looking at it in the flesh, it’s apparent Lincoln focused on the styling details inside and out.
I particularly like the wheel design, at least what’s shown on the show model, along with just the right amount of chrome trim. Take note of the cool inner headlight design, too. But guessing a lot of you may criticize the front grille design, claiming its way too Bentley-like. heard similar arguments when the Continental was launched. Okay, sure, there’s definitely some Bentley influence there, but no crime has been committed. Honestly, the design works well for Lincoln. It’s bold and confident, exactly the new image Lincoln wants to project. The familiar 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 EcoBoost is rated at 450 hp and comes paired to a 10-speed automatic.
Lincoln claims it managed to shave off some 200 pounds compared to the last Navigator, thanks to extensive use of lightweight aluminum body panels, a la the current Ford F-150, which it shares a platform with. With three rows of seats, an abundance of luxury, and styling that’ll hopefully properly differentiate it from its upcoming Ford Expedition corporate cousin, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator is an impressive sight.
The Price Range is between $73,250 to $73,300

SenatorM:
Am still trying to comprehend this shit you just typed

SenatorM:
What do you mean by marginalisation?
Did the past governors do anything for their hometown, what did Uduaghan do for his hometown?..

Infact Uduaghan facilitated the construction of Asaba International Airport which is also Delta North.

Bridges in Asaba was constructed by Uduaghan and Ibori, infact most project was done by non Delta North governors.

You talk about Marginalisation? When the present governor is from Delta North, the past Speaker was from Delta North.

The Second Most populated people after the Urhobos in Delta state are the Delta North,which also has the largest senatorial District.

Delta North had great Names in this present government. Likes of Okowa(governor).
Godwin Emefiele(CBN Governor).
Ibe Kachikwu (Minister for State Petroleum)

What then is Marginalisation when no place in Delta is worth being proud of when you think about its resources?

Those pictures though.
