If there is peace and orderliness, wveryone enjos it irrespective of tribe or region. Shutting 4 powerful thermal plants down means the load demand will be heavy on the other functional plants and this would force the functional plants to also be shutdown too; in summary, total darkness. Given that buhari may not have handled this matter properly, but I do not understand how someone who would also suffer this darkness would be rejoicing over this development because they feel it punishes buhari.

Anywhere this nonsense is vomited it must be refuted. Nigeria started with Regionalism..

Ironsi Stopped it
At the last National conference the SW was firmly for resource control the SS and SE sold out

It was embarrassing to watch that brave woman Aniko Briggs take on the North single handedly as her brothers abandoned her to her fate

This is not about resource control. An Ijaw man was in power supported by the SE for 5 years what did he do? He empowered militants like Tompolo while Dieziani looted the country blind. HE had the highest oil revenue in history .What did he do with it?.He failed to clean up Ogoniland. he failed to develop even his own Otuoke.
So stop deceiving yourself that this has anything to do with resource control.

The Niger Delta is the darling and life blood of Nigeria. I wonder why buhari and APC failed to toast,win and dazzle her with romances? These people deserve much more respect than they are getting. Let justice be done.Life in the creeks is not even ideal for human habitation yet,tinubu and co sit down in their posh offices and sipping Niger Delta oil through oando. This is an insult and a grave injustice that must be addressed.

Were were the Niger Deltans during elections? The ate their cake and are still looking for it!

Thewrath:

Very bad of Nigeria,and some hypocrites are blackmailing the ND with "you are destroying your own land".....na today?
Land that has been suffering pollution without govt presence since the discovery of oil.

But why should thru choose to bomb thier own community. Let them take the fight to the Lion's den

SleekAboki:

You should instead blame a rogue government system that dishes out cake to a select few knowing it won't get to the indigenous people of the creeks.

I have lived in the North West and the South South, their leaders aint the same.

Give an average Hausa politician N1billion, the crowd you will see in his house will be unbelievable. He will build houses for his people, bore hole and roads. On daily basis, he will be giving cash assistance to friends, family, villagers and even strangers.

Give the same amount to a Bayelsan politician and he will hire thugs to keep people away from him while he sits on the entire money.

I know it is more expensive to build roads in the south but if the southern leaders are taken to the north, they wont build what the northern leaders are doing for themselves and their people.

SleekAboki:

The solution to all these is regionalism.Let each region develop at it's pace with it's resources.This current structure as practiced breeds laziness and corruption.

SleekAboki:

This is nothing about hate or tribalism but a clarion call for justice to be done.

Thewrath:

Let me pretend am on same page with you on "the destruction affects the ordinary people and not the elites"

Why have you turned a blind eye to their demand of resource control,why is the north and west always against anything regionalism or resource control?

luvinhubby:


Nobody glorified pipeline bombings, read my posts, it was a fall out of Buhari's poorly thought out policy.
Moreover, Southeasterners are entitled to their opinion just as Buhari's govt and other regions are entitled to theirs. The 'makakwu' who was calling out ipob yoots as antagonist of this regime has failed to acknowledge the fact that Buhari's critics now cuts across the whole regions & that waz bigotry.

EasternLeopard:


The majority of poor masses voted which party.?

adanny01:


It makes no sense. That would further make the rich richer and the poor even poorer.

It is oil that made us lazy not the sharing of resources.

[b]Please let the boys bomb more and more until Yoruba and Hausa common sense tell them that it's time to export cocoa and groundnut , until justice is done, our fathers told us that b4 now that federal government use to collect 50% from mineral resources while those who get the resources will also get 50% but as soon as oil was discover in the Niger Delter and the money from oil was found to be greater than all the resources from north and west Hausa and Yoruba came together and change the laws to cheat us, they made a new law that everything belong to the federal government, the Niger Delter people didn't have power to do anything, when they couldn't endure the injustice again they fought Abasenjo government to change the law but Obasenjo gave them only 1% they fought again and he gave them 13%. we all know that Hausa and Yoruba will never allow this type of injustice in their land but they enjoy doing it to others people, we know that a lot of illegal mining is going on in the north where solid mineral are being mine and sold to the chines and no body is doing anything. my advice is let the boy bomb more and more until yoruba and hausa start exporting cocoa and groundnut, if the bombing pain Yoruba and Hausa let them develop their own resources and stop depending in us, Niger Delter don't have the number require in the national assembly or senate to change the law and do justice and no parasite will just let it host go like that, the only solution is bombing, don't listen to the parasite because they don't have any good intention for Niger Delter, they are the devil they are coming to steal, kill and destroy, please bomb bomb bomb bomb, if you want to go through voting to change the law they will never support you, so bomb more and more my boys, we can never have peace without a measure of justice and equity that is the truth the parasite will never tell you, [/b]

Nigeria is blessed and every region has it's own resources to thrive.I've seen the data.The Niger Delta should be allowed to use their God given resources to better their lives.

SleekAboki:

This issue should not be misconstrued as personal vendetta against Buhari. This is a wakeup call for the government of the day to right the injustices of yesterday. Military occupation and amnesty has failed to tackle this same issue and it would be foolhardy of buhari to try the same thing and expect a different output.

Do you even care to know that most communities in the creeks has no access to drinkable water,electricity and means of livelihood?

Check your history to understand why the ogoni and ijaw are poster child of the struggle.

When Nigeria only had pyramids of groudnut and cocoa for foreign exchange, was it only the farmers or their regions that benefited?

What you should be asking for is diversification not greedy regional control which will make one region lazy and the others hardworking.

After all said here you will still come and complain that the government is not producing electricity.
