For over a decade now, the Niger deltan region has been agitating for increased national allocation from the federal government due to the fact that their region produces much of Nigerian revenue from Oil exploration.

Niger state on the other hand which is a state in the Central region of Nigeria has 2 of the powerful water dams in Nigeria which produces almost all the hydro electric power being used for the whole of Nigeria for so many decades now.
Now, another hydro power dam is being built in Mambilla, Taraba state, central Nigeria, and this dam is built to be the largest Hydropower station in Africa which will increase power for the whole Nigeria......

The question is that since states in the Niger delta region are getting additional national allocation for their crude oil, what about Niger and Taraba states and their hydro electric power generation for the whole country??

Would they be wrong if they start a similar agitation?

Those radio stations in Anambra state are mostly owned by Catholic Church.

By 12pm, there is recital of Angelus and at 3pm, you hear divine mercy prayers.

Most of those stations are anti-APC in their political analysis. Issues relating to Biafra are seldom discussed but their sons and daughters held in captivity by Federal are frequently mentioned.

Even their call-in shows are dominated by political controversies against APC led government. They hardly discuss their local problems which affects them ie poor infrastructural developments, corruption, divertion of public funds, agriculture, rural development and environmental concerns.

But where is lalasticlala now?

The United Nations (UN) in a report just released on Nigeria’s Common Country Analysis (CCA), has described the country as deeply divided. According to the report, which was read during a consultative meeting on the formulation of the UN Development Assistance Framework IV (UNDAF IV) for the South-East geo-political zone in Awka, showed Nigeria as a “divided society on the basis of the plurality of ethnic, religious and regional identities that had tended to define the country’s political existence.” The report observed that, for decades, different segments of Nigeria’s population had, at different times, expressed feelings of marginalisation, of being short- changed, dominated, oppressed, threatened, or even targeted for elimination. It also painted a gloomy picture for the country as most of the development and social indices in Nigeria recorded much below acceptable standards. The major challenges facing Nigeria, according to the report, were constraints of economic growth and social development and lack of good governance. The report also noted that “the situation was exacerbated by the existence of systematic accountability challenges at the federal, states and local government levels.” It said: “Nigeria is one of the poorest and most unequal countries in the world, with over 80 million or 64 per cent of her population living below poverty line. Poverty and hunger have remained high in rural areas, remote communities and among female-headed households and these cut across the six geo- political zones, with prevalence ranging from approximately 46.9 per cent in the South-West to 74.3 per cent in North-West and North- East. “Nigeria’s economy is currently in a recession and it is estimated that government revenues have fallen by as much as 33 per cent, which has further resulted in the contraction of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 0.36 per cent in the first three months of 2016. “The vulnerable macroeconomic environment in Nigeria is affecting investors’ confidence in the domestic economy.” According to the report, despite Nigeria’s enormous resources, 37 per cent of children under five years old were stunted and 29 per cent underweight due to malnutrition just as only 10 per cent of children aged six to 23 months were fed appropriately based on recommended infant and young children feeding practices. The report also revealed widespread cases of violence against women and girls, including physical and sexual assault, adding that 42 per cent of the youths were unemployed, “a situation that had led to poverty, helplessness and despair, thereby exposing them to easy target for crime and terrorism,” while over 10 million children of school age were out of schools with no knowledge and skills. It also said, “despite the fact that Nigeria is a signatory to a number of protocols on sustainable and renewable environment, the country had, over the decades, failed to protect the environment, ecosystem and natural resources. “Nigeria faces humanitarian and emergency crises of considerable proportions fueled by a combination of factors including climate change, inter-communal conflicts and violence, insurgency, recurring floods, heavy handed tactics of security forces in combating crime and insurgency. The overall consequence is the situation of systematic and chronic internal displacement that has given rise to different humanitarian crises that include the most egregious and dehumanising human rights abuses.” It, therefore, recommended that “transforming and diversifying Nigeria’s development paths needed a radical and new approach, especially by investing in people and in a strong more dynamic and inclusive productive informal sector,” just as the agency called for a design and support of joint programmes to address good governance, peace and security.

Massob & other groups have been going about their call in tandem with global best practices till this new guy emerged with his brand of bile..

This time 2014, did we have same situation? Where were they all these while? We all know how things went down & what precipitated this new wave of "anger"

It's the same people that were shouting GEJ or death that transmuted to Biafra or death, It's hard to adopt another stance in the face of such glaring evidence...



P.S... Are you truly "f" or the usual NL kind?

helovesme:
So much hype with this "one hit wonder"

Apart from "classic man", what other song is he known for ?

Did he fly in with a plane full of arms and ammunition for his security this time around ?

Why is he hiding his relaxed hair under a cap? Dude is ashamed of his Afro/kinky hair and he chose to have it "relaxed" using a hair relaxer
