The people of Kula community in Rivers State are quietly rewriting their terms of citizenship with the Nigerian state. And they need our support.


In this essay, a former Commissioner for Information in Rivers, Dr Austin Tam-George, questions the Wike led administration in Rivers for allegedly working in cahoots with oil majors to further imperil the locals.

By Dr. Austin Tam- George


Kula is an oil-rich community that has been the source of billions of dollars for the Nigerian government and for Shell, the multinational company, over the past 40 years.


But despite its stupendous natural wealth, Kula has no pipe-borne water and children die from all kinds of intestinal diseases.

There is no standard hospital in Kula, and studies show that like in most Niger Delta communities, life expectancy in Kula is twice below the national average.

Children sit on bare earth to learn in roofless and dilapidated schools.

As a fishing community, Kula's once vibrant marine ecosystem is now a paradise lost; a victim of Shell's remorseless environmental pollution.

The Oil Mining Lease (OML) 25 operated by Shell in Kula is the cruelest metaphor for corporate greed.


But Shell is not alone. It is in collusion with a rent-seeking state that seems bent on grinding its own citizens to dust, in exchange for oil rents.

But all that is about to change.

Two years ago, the women of Kula began to occupy the oil platforms in protest against Shell's apocalyptic presence in their community, and to challenge the company's decade-long environmental impunity.


Three decades after the Ogoni uprisings, the showdown in Kula dramatizes once again the crisis of Nigeria's petro-dollar modernity, and our inability to invent a grammar of citizenship based on egalitarianism and respect for community property rights.


But as indigenous people, Belema and other oil-bearing communities have rights which are recognized by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People.This momentous Declaration was made on the floor of the UN on September 13, 2007.

Governor Nyesom Wike's so-called mediation effort on behalf of Shell was dubious and politically tainted from the start, and the Kula community is right to reject it.

How could a Governor goad a long-suffering community to barter its rights in exchange for a fraudulent and exploitative "peace" with Shell?

Governor Wike is negotiating a peace process that allows a rapist to return gleefully to a battered and beleaguered victim.

Why did the Secretary to the State Government, Dr Tammy Danagogo, a sensible man by all accounts, permit himself to be part of such a macabre and cynical plot against the people of Kula?


Since 1999, the federal government has allocated over 12 trillion Naira as 13 per cent oil derivation funds to Rivers State.

As Governor, Mr Wike has received nearly two trillion Naira in revenue on behalf of Rivers State, since May, 2015.


What has the Wike administration got to show to the people of Kula, the people of Abua, the Ogoni, the forgotten people of Ogbakiri, Okrika, and other communities in the state, for these oil money receipts?


According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Rivers State has the highest rate of unemployment in Nigeria, and Kula is one of the hardest hit communities.


In Rivers State, school teachers have not been paid for four years by the Wike administration. All scholarships and bursaries are cancelled, and the state's per capita school drop out is the highest in the region on Mr Wike's watch.


It takes a particular kind of moral blindness for a governor to trade off the future of the children of Kula, the way Mr Wike seeks to do through his dangerous collusion with Shell.


Last week, the elder statesman, Chief E.K. Clark was alarmed enough to publicly condemn Mr Wike's outrageous gamble in Kula.


The people of Kula are right to take their destiny in their own hands. They have history and natural justice on their side.


As they try to reclaim their ancestral dignity, the Kula community needs our support. And they need the moral comradeship of the United Nations.

Ctorch:
Edo and yoruba are two inseparable twins.

so I wonder what you driving at. The two has similarities in all manner.

Who are you guys claiming Edo?

Yoruba are not even interested in claiming anything from Edo state

And there are many tribes in Edo so Yoruba don't really have much similarities with them, maybe Benin but not Edo


You guys should start respecting their boundary

Mynd44:
There is a large population of Yorubas from Edo, not majority
There is a large population if Igbos from Kogi, not majority
There is a large population if Igalas in Anambra. Not majority.


Same way, there are Ijaws in Ondo

You are very wrong


The main ethnic group in Kogi are Ebira, Igala and Okun

DavSagacity:
Keep quiet if you don't have anything better to say. Keep crying over nothing. over sabi gang

You are the one that should keep quiet because you have nothing to say

It is very obvious you are the bitter and the crying one here

It is not my fault that you don't know anything

banom:
Ignorance at it's peack....oga when did Igala people take over nsukka land ? As I am typing right now, I am at nsukka.... You need education.

You are the one that need education


Go and learn how Igala people took and Colonized Nsukka

Edcure1:
Are there no Igbos in the army? This marginalization is aggressively conspicuous.

The Igbo have clearly stated that they don't want to be use to fight Northern war

So what is the complain about again?

TSRC:
Ekiti state is no longer the state with the highest number of professors.
Better get current with the times. I get am before no be property.
The first vice chancellors of your Yoruba universities were Igbo.
That is an indelible record.

You have finally moved from yorubaa helped Nollywood to everybody helped Nollywood.
Don't worry, you would soon come closer to the the truth.

The English part is more popular, true. But it is dominated by Igbo actors, shot in igboland mostly, and produced by iweka road producers.
That is Nollywood that the world knows.

The fact that you are still arguing on sports is laughable.
You have the highest goal scorer, yet the two most successful Nigerian footballers of all times are Igbo.
Even the team that rashidi yekini and yakubu played in was dominated by Igbo players.

Go to athletics, it is the same story. Basketball the same story.

You are not only behaving like an empty vessel, you are also hanging on to past glories that have been obliterated by igbos.

I will stop arguing with you because it is pointless

Being the first Vice Chancellors of UI and UNILAG was a prove of Azikiwe nepotistic government

Yoruba is the most Educated tribe in Nigeria

Yoruba lead and dominate in almost everything In Nigeria and there is stats to back it up

The two highest goal scorers in the history of super Eagles are Yoruba

Go to basketball you will see Yoruba there

Go to Athletics you will see Yoruba

Every region in Nigeria contributed heavily and is contributing to the success of sports in Nigeria but you guys are trying to claim all the success with all your nonsense and empty noise making

The highest grossing Nigerian films are dominated by films directed by Yoruba and Yoruba participated in


You can still feel Yoruba domination in many sectors in Nigeria

Empty vessel calling someone empty vessel

The funniest thing is that you guys love solely claiming the success of what every region contributes to

9jvirgin:
I just got back from an European tour, I visited Denmark, Sweden, Poland, Germany and London. These countries too are heavily populated but you need to see how thousands of trains, subways and buses helps people to connect so FAST and EASY. Dedicated rail tracks and roads for buses was clearly noticeable.

Almost all the population in Denmark had bicycles, at 4pm I saw people with Suit and Ties riding their bikes home.

I took a train from Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmo, Sweden and the whole trip lasted for 2 hours and 45 mins. The problem is not the population, the problem is black man-kind.

We may never get it right!

Tell me a city in Europe that have the population and size of Lagos?

You guys still don't get it


Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria and it is also the most populous state in Nigeria but somehow you still expect everything to work smoothly

ariesbull:
Bro do you even realize that the name Yoruba is from a creaole Hausa word of Yoruba ....ask questions before we can know who colonised each other....can you get ilorin back before we can have a serious conversation

Can you get Nsukka back from Igala people before we can have serious conversation?

TSRC:
The state with the highest number of professor is IMO state according to the NUC.

And Yoruba are no longer the most educated in the country.
It is not possible.

I went through the nonsense you wrote, and I don't believe that is what you want to use to debunk me.
A couple of companies is what makes Nigeria?

Abeg, shift make I laugh.

Even the Nollywood itself is Igbo dominated. Two or three Yoruba English producers that just came on the scene is not what makes Nollywood.
Go to any country in Africa and ask them what is the name for a Nigerian King, they would tell you it is igwe.
Nollywood is synonymous with Igbo culture because Igbo's built it.
I am not talking about local Yoruba wood or whatever.

Go through most of your sport teams from 1960-date and check which ethnic have been producing most talents.
I don't need to tell you it is Igbo.
Even the D' tigerees female basketball team that just qualified for the semis in Senegal is Igbo dominated.

Yeye dey smell.

The state with the highest numbers of professors in Nigeria is Ekiti State

Yoruba is still the most Educated tribe in Nigeria

Yoruba have the highest numbers of professors

Highest numbers of SAN

Best Institutions in Nigeria are dominated by Institutions in South West

So what exactly do you want to use to say otherwise?

Even with the recent poor performance of South West in WAEC the best WAEC student through out West Africa last year was still from South West and South West still use to perform very well in NECO so you can not use that to determine level of education

Even the Nollywood you are talking about comprises of all Nigerian films and every region in Nigeria is contributing

When it come to popularity the English part might be more popular and even the English actors and actresses comes from every region in Nigeria

Even in Sports every region in Nigeria is contributing, the most talents come from your region but how come the two highest goal scorers in the History of super Eagles are Yoruba?

Do you even know that the Dtigress team have been dominated by Yoruba in the past?

Yoruba dominated almost every sectors in Nigeria

But empty barrel make the loudest Noise

LegendHero:
What do you mean by saying Igbo rule the private sector? What are the statistics to back up that claim? Don’t mention 2 by 2 shops? How many people are employed by Igbos businessmen? What do you produce in Igbo land? How much do you contribute to the nation GDP? How are you assisting Nigeria , how many industries are in the SE? How many investment opportunities are in the SE, I’m talking of big investments? You all think retailing is the only yardstick for economy, and that’s just a layman thinking.

How exactly do you rule the academia? By university ranking? Number of professors? Number of useful graduates? Number of researches? Number of patents? How exactly does the Igbo man rule academia?

Are you trying to mention WAEC where there are lot of student that score A1 in all subject across the tribes as a yardstick for academia? Seems you listen to too much IPOB bureau of statistics.

If you say the Igbo rule sport, then I can also say Yorubas rule the music industry. That shouldn’t be a bragging right tho.

Every region in Nigeria is representing in Sports in Nigeria

The two highest goal scorers in the history of Super Eagles are Yoruba

When it come to sports even Northerners are representing

Yoruba absolutely dominated the betting and gambling industry in Nigeria

Bet9ja, Nairabet, 1960bet, Betking, Merrybet, Surebet247 are all own by Yoruba

Even technology Yoruba lead

Entertainment industry Yoruba lead

Yoruba have the highest numbers of Professors and SAN in Nigeria

Best higher Institutions in the South are dominated by higher institutions in South West

But you know as they says empty barrel make the loudest noise

TSRC:
From your academia to the private sector to your national sports teams, it screams Igbo.

Which academia are you talking about?

Best higher institutions in Nigeria are dominated by higher institutions in South West

Highest numbers of professors in Nigeria goes to the south west

Highest numbers of SAN in Nigeria also goes to the South west

Journalism in Nigeria is also dominated by South West

South West is the most Educated region in Nigeria

When it come to National sports every region in Nigeria is representing from South West to South South to South East and the North


The two highest goal scorers in the history of Super Eagles were Yoruba players


South West also dominate the entertainment industry in Nigeria

South West dominate the music industry and even the Yorubawood part of Nollywood is doing pretty well to the extent that you can find Yoruba movies on Netflix

Highest grossing Nigerian films were dominated by films directed by Yoruba

When it come to private sectors you guys are not even a match for Yoruba

When it come to technology too Yoruba lead infact Yoruba dominated


Yoruba also dominate the Betting and gambling industry in Nigeria

Bet9ja is own by Yoruba

Nairabet is own by Yoruba

Surebet is own by Yoruba

Betking is co founded by Yoruba

1960bet is own by Yoruba

Merrybet is own by Yoruba


Yoruba absolutely dominated the betting and Gambling industry in Nigeria

Yoruba lead in almost everything in this country


All you guys can do is make empty noise and beat chest

TSRC:
It is a shame then that biafrans constitute the greater part of your useful human capital in any national endeavour.
Where are the Nigerians?

Which of the National endeavours and useful human capital do you constitute?


Or you just feel like typing bullshit and beat chest

A popular Nigerian video director recently used his social media platform to bare his mind on the issue of corruption.

The individual identified as Buari Olalekan Oluwasegun who is popularly known as Unlimited LA, shared a post on the Instastory channel of his official social media page.

According to him, when people start to get favors from a corrupt system, they make a detour and start to refer to the vice as being well-connected, instead of coming clean and naming it for what it is.


He said: "When corruption starts favoring you, you call it connection."


Corruption across board is no doubt one of the major issues that continue to hinder development in the country. Hopefully, with more public figures following suit and using their platforms to speak against the vice, it would finally be a thing of the past in Nigeria.

Buhari is doing this with good intention but he need good advisor to know what is really best for Nigeria

DavSagacity:
So why are they crying foul about this penalty.?? The keeper was also clearly out of his line in the penalty that was awarded to Chelsea in regulation time, why didn't they asked that the referee should order a retake.!?? Chelsea fans are in severe pain over this one.

It could happen to your team tomorrow


This is not for Chelsea's sake but football's sake

It could be your team in Chelsea's shoes tomorrow so well don't expect anything other than trolling when it finally happen to your team

asuustrike1:
MTN and Airtel is strong in many locations compare to glo.

I am also a GLO user

GLO is doing very well in my area these days

comshots:
Chelsea fans una too get complain.Una don lose.

There would be no complain if there was no broken rule

If people failed to talk about this, it is going to happen again and again until football become a lawless game


What is the essence of VAR if they can not follow every rules strictly?

This thing we keep repeating itself if they don't find something to do about it

Whatever they feel is good for them

NaijaNaWaa:
They said Igbos were their problem and colluded with Hausa/Fulani to kill and suppress Igbos. Look at it now: East, West, North and South; it is nemesis everywhere. May God help them.

You were the one that killed and suppressed them first during Aguyi Ironsi regime

Was it not your people that stopped them when they declared their republic?


But today you guys are the one claiming victims

coolcentbigman:
You speak of a man who stood for his people when it mattered most; he committed class suicide by abdicating the luxury, the opulence and the comfort of his father's wealth for altruistic reasons.

Do you know about the massacre of thousands of Igbos in northern Nigeria following the 1966 putsch by the military?? That's not all the Igbo were ill-treatement and killed for no reason that why the Igbos came to conclusion that Nigerians don't want them and seek for Biafra nation.

The decision of Biafra isn't just an idea made by Ojukwu but People too supported it because of the massacre of the Ibo people even Ojukwu tried a peaceful means to avoid war. They hold on to rebellion as if there is anything sacrosanct about a COUNTRY whose Army commits GENOCIDE against a people it is to protect. Why would Gowon Repudiate "ABURI ACCORD" with such impunity and expect no reactions? Nigeria are the cowards in these case, how can a country/Nation fight with a particular tribe with external aids from British and Russian and you are still think Nigeria won the war?? but that was no war but pure GENOCIDE which was plotted by the Britain.

The truth is that, what Ojukwu and our forefathers fought for are all coming into play now, there's a silent war going on in this Country. Believe it or not the killings are increasing rapidly and that's what constituted the Biafra idea and War... Ojukwu is dead but is Legacy lives on.

God bless Ojukwu and biafrans.

Ojukwu is a coward, kiss the truth

He was not ready to die for the same people he was leading to destruction

banom:
Mazi egwu.....nnam na fear dey hold you and your people...find another excuse.... spineless backstabbers .

You are referring to your people

They are so shameless to the extent they were so quick to hijacked AAC from Sowore after he was arrested

They even achieved the mission with the help of Northerners they also hate

ariesbull:
It only happened 8n Yoruba land no where In East or North or even South South ...so it's a yoru a protest the way they tagged 1966 coup an igbo coup

We are learning fast

Yoruba over to you...prove that you are a man for an hour only and let the world not call you guys cowards anymore

People Colonized and enslaved by Igala people are the one throwing tantrums and Banters in Nigeria about Cowardice


Yoruba don't care what other tribes In Nigeria think about us

You call us cowards and we also see you as cowards

You call us traitors and back stabbers and we also see you as the same thing


You guys really think you can take Yoruba for a ride

Was it not the same Igbo that betrayed Sowore after he was arrested and hijacked AAC party from him?

How Sowore protest became a Yoruba protest still baffles me

Tell Nnamdi cownu to shove his support up his ass
