When other states are collecting 2 billion ND state are collecting 9/10/12 billion allocation with noting to show, they still blame the government instead of their governor who is from them.
NDDC is another ministry just to please them.

In the next 1 years let see who will suffer the consequences most.

The funny thing is, when you check very well, it's not even Niger deltans that rejoice over this news.

Some set of humans are just happy about anything that goes wrong in Nigeria today. It's all politcal and to these guys, anything that goes wrong is viewed as punishment to Buhari, hence the euphoria. It's really wonderful how some people reason. I cant imagine the poverty and turmoil this would bring when everything finally goes down.

We support there legitimate claims but don't support pipeline vandalism.
We want resource control but there has to be a better way of making our voices heard.

The last time I checked, the oil money in Nigeria is shared and consumed by the rich (irrespective of tribe or religion or political links) even whilst the poor continue to wallow in their poverty; it has always been a Rich vs Poor battle, but divisive politicians have succeeded in brainwashing the ever gullible, educated but illiterate masses to think this has anything to do with tribe.

Now from your comment, I assume you are from either the SE or the SS? and i assume you are happy about the crippling of the oil industry because you believe this would deprive fulanis and yorubas who presumably take all the gains from the industry?

First of all, it is quite ignorant to assume that the 2 tribes you mentioned are the biggest gainers from the oil industry; the last time I checked, the 3 big Nigerian tribes are ably represented in the feast table where Nigeria's resources are shared from regime to regime. Being ignorant of this fact is the first evidence of an unfortunate mass tribal brainwash.

Secondly, the microscopic few elite of these big tribes (and also minority tribes) who may own oil blocks and who feed fattest from the oil industry, these people make up less than 0.000001% of the population and even if the conduit is cut-off, these microscopic few elite already have enough to last them 3 lifetimes. Now who are the real victims if you kill the oil industry?... The real victims are the millions of ordinary people closest to facilities and the offices. If you've ever been to or lived in an oil city like Warri or PH, you would understand how over 90% of the population of these towns directly and indirectly feed off the oil industry; bus drivers, okada men, hotel owners, mama-put owners, security men, caterers, even ashawos and to the direct staff and contractors of these companies.

Someone who has lived in a city like warri before and after the exit of a giant like Shell can testify to the colossal impact of these companies on the livelihoods of millions of people who make up the population of these cities. Only an ignorant fellow would think the main victims of a destruction of the industry would be the microscopic few elites from faraway who own blocks and who have already secured 3 lifetimes.

What's the better way than dialogue
Saro wiwa started with dialogue the Fulani president abacha killed him

What do you expect the people to do now than defending themselves which is not the good option

When the government don't respect agreement made from dialogue militancy becomes inevitable

anigold:
most of what you said is correct but i wanna add some info, the yorubas and hausas are the biggest beneficiaries of the oil revenue since 1960, 90% of oil blocs are owned by them, 85% of jobs in the oil industry belong to them, even in my state Akwa ibom; 90% of staffs in Mobil are yorubas . Now tell me how is that fair... Will you be happy to be in our shoes? The answer is no..
Until we stop/reduce tribalism in this country nothing will go well...

Oil is in the south but the head offices of these oil firms are in Lagos and Abuja...

We in the south we want others to enjoy our resources not for us to be starved from our reseources just because we are the minority...

mikolo80:
and you really think the bloodsucking politicians will be affected(do you know how long it takes to spend 1billion and these guys have stolen billions in dollars not naira.who you think go hungry first.when hunger gbab militants dem go confess

In the midst of a militant resurgence in the Niger Delta and a two-week ultimatum for oil companies to shut down operations, Exxon Mobil has reportedly declared force majeure on Qua Iboe crude after an accident the company said was not related to militant attacks[b][/b]

Hengineer:
90% in exxonmobil yorubas?... can you swear on your life that that percentage makes any sense?... I personally have worked briefly in eket, oh yes! There are a good number of yorubas in the company, but saying 90% is amusingly absurd. I personally learnt Ibibio in my 6 months IT at QIT; let's stop being unnecessary sensational with our comments.
Let me ask you, if MPN closes shop in Nigeria today, which tribe do you honestly think will be most affected?

DeltaOil:
Dont worry soon una go sabi from the number of South-West people wey begin plant Cocoa again.

the answer is so simple, the tribes that benefit most from oll will be most affected...

Ngozi123:
This is the one reason why I think that this country will never work. I used to believe that regionalism was the answer- I still do in some respects- but I realised that that would never happen as long as we're still stuck in this 'tit-for-tat' mentality. If one region sees that regionalism will benefit another region more than itself, even if it'll still benefit them, they will do all they can to prevent it from happening.

TonyeBarcanista:
When our ppl start losing their jobs and coys relocate to Lagos, I hope people celebrating those misguided NDA won't complain?

Answer: Did they flee the field or not. Is Exxon mobil still operational in that field. Did Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ not see in the article, where the writer tried †̥♥ point towards the true reason for the stoppage ☀̤̣̈̇f operations. If they hadn't declared a Force Majore, would the government not have sued them for breach ☀̤̣̈̇f contract.
Now I have schooled Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ, can Y̶̲̥̅̊ø̲̣̣̥ǖ go A̶̲̥̅̊Ω̴̩̩̩̥D̶̲̥̅̊ dispose your Oxford "Advanced Learner" dictionary.

The north has taught the once docile, 'slap-me-turn-the-other-cheek' south intolerance and violence...

Now we are now learning in reality no one has the monopoly of violence.

If the north makes the country ungovernable for a southerner, the south returns the favour.

Jonathan had his 'ungovernable' northern moment.

Buhari is having his 'ungovernable' southern moment..

The next southern president of the republic will also have his 'ungovernable' northern moment...

And on and on it goes in this circus of a country.

Only God knows when this stupidity by supposed nationals of the same country will end.

DeltaOil:
I say dont worry from the number of people planting cocoa in the south-west you will have your answer.

Una fit not like us for the South-South but una go beg us soon.

But as dem don talk

I just love the South west.
