Ondo is west, the Yoruba region south west can't be added to already existing Niger Delta which adaka boro fought for

NDDC has nothing to do with the political SouthSouth or NigerDelta.

It is purely an oil economic and development structure for all states whose oil is from that Oil basin.

Is Akwa Ibom in the Niger Delta?

Many of you talk with half Information

Do you know that by the constitution and a Supreme Court ruling Akwa Ibom is not entitled to much of the derivation it gets which is based on off-shore oil?

The same Obasanjo twisted the arms of the National Assembly to make special legislation and overnight Akwa Ibom became one of the biggest derivation beneficiaries even though constitutionally it was not their entitlement

It was a political compromise.

Clarke has conveniently forgotten that and wants Akwa Ibom in the NDDC because there is more money coming from there

Everything is politics and compromise

The same National Assembly he is asking to change the NDDC composition can change it for Akwa Ibom and put them back to their constitutional position which would make them even poorer than Cross River state because by the letter of the constitution they are not entitled to off shore derivation money

Agreed!

But his grouse is that some produce much oil while some like Imo produce so little, yet have equal authority in the commission.

He wants the big boys to be separated from the small boys, especially when they are already from different political regions.

He is basically saying let the big boys have their league, and let the small boys have theirs separately. He is not interested in a new name that would accommodate all.

SE always saying SE/SS.

SS only know SS.

I hope those who chose to live in their own delusion of an assumed SE/SS togetherness get rehabilitated soon.
where is the oil they found in lagos?the oil in ondo is even in ijaw area ,some parts of SW are in northern Nigeria so some parts of SE is in South south so when nigeria disintegrate SW have something thing in common with northerners eg religion SS and SE have something in common too,Edwin Clark should be complaining about oil companies that are drilling oil in SS meanwhile their offices is in lagos state paying tax to lagos government for land use act,

HOW MUCH OIL DOES IJAW ACTUALLY PRODUCE?


THAT IS THE QUESTION THEY SHOULD ASK THE CLOWN.


IN RIVERS STATE TODAY, THE PREDOMINANTLY OIL PRODUCING LAND ARE ALL IGBO SPEAKING AREAS.



IN DELTA STATE ITSEKIRI PRODUCE THE MOST OIL, BUT THE ANIOMA ALSO HAVE OIL.

WHAT I'M NOT SURE IS THE QUANTITY OF OIL ON IJAW LAND BECAUSE IF IT IS THE ONE IN THE SEA THAT IS BRINGING ALL THIS NOISE, THEN MADNESS DEY DEM HEAD.


IN NIGERIA TODAY, WHEN U TALK ABOUT OIL ON ANCESTRAL LAND, IGBO IS NUMBER 1.

They’re all barren states
But you want Cross River to be part of NDDC just because it's in the same geographic area even though it's a barren state. How stupid do you sound now?
If South West are barren states then why are they recognized as oil producing states?

The best ally an Igbo man has ever had in Nigeria is the Westerners.
After and during the civil war, the Westerners never attacked the Igbos.
During the Civil War, the guys in Edwin Clark's homes were treacherous. After the Civil War, they equally manifested it.
Is it the same westerner that their hero starved 3 million Igbo kids?

Not only that, also stole all Igbo's Money in the bank.

Yeah we have. I actually think it's a good idea. While leaders of NDDC continue to steal your wealth, South West states will make an exit. Since you all have been major oil producers, there's nothing tangible you've done with your lives so we are happy to not be a part of that corrupt body.
But the honest truth is, in the interest of togetherness, this statement should never have been made. Ofcourse this is where we are now, everyone looking for a way out of Nigeria.

People need to study the Supreme Court ruling in the case of
Attorney General of
the Federation v. Attorney General of Abia State &
35 Ors
The sum of it is a determination about littoral boundaries of states and ownership of off shore oil

It is established that off shore oil belongs to the Federal government

The National Assembly subsequently passed a law to give Akwa Ibom derivation from off shore oil
This was an act of benevolence and generosity of the Federation
It is not a constitutional entitlement . This simply means it can also be withdrawn by the National Assembly without constitutional change.
It is important for people to equip themselves with facts and history before they start ranting

Wen people totally blinded by their tribe or religion, u see them dancing naked in the market square believing they are fighting for their family.


That's exactly what's affecting Clark, even his age refuses to count on him.

I imagine if they give state power to him to govern entire country. His own would worse than Buari and Tinubu combine.


The big question he is supposed to asked himself is, the core S/S that have been managing the commission over the years, where are the outcomes? Is it not cash cow for them and their cronies?

I get the points Pa Clark is making, it's just that he is contradicting himself by saying Ondo is not a coastal state. Lagos state and Ondo state are coastal states.

And on his remarks about ownership.

“It is not possible for a minority shareholder of even 5 per cent to be the Chairman or Managing Director of the limited liability company.
He is wrong. I know many Chairmen and CEO who don't even directly have stocks of their company. The CEO of CWG, not until this year, own only 100 units of CWG plc.

Clark, though reputed to act clownish, is talking more sense than you here.
Producing oil or crude doesn't make a state Niger Delta by regional grouping. If Bauchi and Gombe starts producing oil tomorrow, they shouldnt need the NDDC tag to get oil derivation funds and shouldn't automatically enjoy a development commission because they haven't experienced the victimization ND has experienced to earn them the Development Commission called NDDC.

His submission might not have been properly articulated and carried an undertone of self-absorption, he has a point nonetheless. A better approach should be to rename NDDC something like Oil Producing States Development Commission (OPSDC) in order to accommodate both Niger Delta States and non-Niger Delta oil producing states. NDDC, as a name, isn't encompassing.

Please the name is already proper the only thing improper is that Clark does not know the meaning if Delta. He sees Niger Delta as a name for South South States. What is a Delta? Knowing that and the location of these states mentioned will educate you more. Most politicians are dumb and daft.
