Now that the Supreme Court has decided the Imo/Rivers oil well case in the favour of the latter, Hope Uzodinma should be more creative and stop looking for free money.

We have read stories of many Nigerian governors improved the IGR of their states. Hope should go and find out how they achieved that since he cannot create wealth.

No we weren't collecting any revenue before, FG awarded it back to us to start receiving revenue then River state took us to court, though during the duration of court hearings we were sharing the revenue with River state.

B2mario:


Rivers state was collecting the revenue before. The community like Akri is in Imo state but the oil wells were ceded to Rivers state by the federal government for a reason best known to them. Later, federal government decided to reallocate them back to Imo state and Rivers state under Wike went to court to reclaim them.

The supreme court used 1967 and 1976, the old Owerri and Rivers province to give it judgment meaning that Obigbo and Omuma should equally be returned to Abia state.

As the youths of Imo State, how do we make sure that the huge gas reserve discovered in Imo state benefits us the way oil is benefiting Akwa Ibom state?

LOVEALAIGBO:


The bolded is quite informative! Knowing these facts...and seeing how Rivers state have yet again robbed Ndigbo of their God-given property, a proactive Abia state governor would have headed straight to court to use this same argument/documentation Rivers state used against them!

The injustice done against Ndigbo in this country is unquantifiable!
