Is this man sensible at all?

barcanista:
People like Elder Orubebe should understand that Ijaw people are no fools. YES, we are fighting to end the fraudulent system that disfavors us but it doesn't mean we are blind to see other of our problems. Orubebe Sir, how many road network did you build as Minister of State for Niger Delta Affair (2008-2010) and Minister of Niger Delta Affair 2010-2014? Please, relax where you are and stop preaching "marginalisation". You were in government, you had the power to push then end of it but because of your own interest you remained like all is well.

@Topic: how do you expect us to fish when our waters have been polluted and fishes are going extinct? We shall continue to advocate for what is ours and end to marginalisation. If the State want us to fish, then they have to backoff from our waters so we can fish.

IJAW PROMIXITY TO OCEAN HAS MADE THEM THINK LIKE FISHES SO I THINK THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO THEIR SECOND NATURE WHICH IS FISHING...THEY HAVE MARINE LIKE ATTITUDE ..THEY SHOULD LEAVE OIL EXPLOITATION FOR PEOPLE LIKE SW AND SE

wirinet:
It is only Biafrans that can reason like this, maybe the trauma of losing the war is still affecting their sanity.

The exploitation of oil does not affect fishing if done properly according to international standards, most marine communities with oil have a thriving fishing industry (outside the middle east). Norway, Venezuela, Mexico, and even Namibia and Angola in Africa has a thriving fishing industry, so what is wrong in asking Ijaws( and Itsekiris) to go back to fishing.

Jonathan's father was a fisherman, he raised his family with proceeds from fishing. My father was a fisherman, he raised his family from proceeds from fishing not handouts from oil companies or government.

If you can see beyond your tribal bigotry, you will realize that oil exploration is not done by SE or SW or even Nigerians, exploration and exploitation are done by foreigners using foreign equipments and manpower.

You are insulting a whole tribe due to your ignorance.

SkyBlue1:
So you thought it was better to continue with the same failed president and failed party of the past 16 years than giving an alternative group a chance? Anyway, everyone is entitled to their choice, I was just curious because the logic you espoused in your criticism of Orubebe now, seemed non-existent before.

tonychristopher:

"He said, “Despite being one of the largest producers of oil in this country, the Ijaw have suffered marginalisation and infrastructural neglect. More than 90 per cent of the communities have yet to be connected with network of roads. Linkage to the national grid for electricity is still a dream.”

No one disputes that. But the greatest irony is that one of your own has been up there for 6 years and the situation remains the same. Yet a few days ago, you wanted the same person to remain in office, chanting "Jega, you cannot continue". We will keep on harping on the point that having "one of your own in power" in Nigeria means nothing, unless he/she is a solid performer. I believe that the message is sinking in slowly.

SkyBlue1:
The first thing you have EVER EVER said that made sense. Maybe it was an accident, maybe there is hope I don't know. I just wish you had cast that same lens of objectivity over Jonathan himself and ask him what his administration did for the region or Nigeria in general apart from his wife fighting with governors.

Goodboiyy:
stop dragging us into ur mess,, if u av any issue with d Nigeria state solve it , stop dragging others in ur problems..
