Can you please explain, how?

"The communities, in a statement signed by the coordinator of Ondo State Oil Producing Communities Rights and Mandate Group, OSOPCRMG, Williams Ayerin, and the Secretary, Bobby Akinluwa, said the impact of the two government bodies were not being felt by the people.
The oil communities lamented that NDDC’s budgets for the state is not in any form commensurate with what the oil companies operating in the state pay as dues to the commission on daily basis.

They specifically accused NDDC of playing politics with the right ownership of Agbami Oil Field which according to them is located about 70 miles in Ilaje water front.

They said the shares of the state from NDDC would have increased tremendously if the Agbami oil field had been credited to Ondo state as stated in the nation’s map . . .

The authorities in charge of the Agencies are using what it accruable to us to develop Delta, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Rivers States."

Just to show, if everyone wants to foment trouble like the people of Bayelsa and Delta, we won't see the end of it.
The Agbami fields is comfortably top 2 biggest of the offshore fields in Nigeria.

chigoizie7:
Well, u made valid points, I still wonder why everyone is making noise about the ND oil and avengers bombing the pipelines, @least from what u said, we can just abandon oil for now and focus on ogun and lagos for our revenues via the exporting powers. Make we now rely on ogun and lagos for revenues to power naija, bros, that's even an outstanding achievement, make we leave ND make dem drink their oil.

Keep consoling yourself. I still wonder how the likes of Kuwait, uAE,qatar and other nations became what they are today, so just chill, as u are banking on your industries and all that, leave ND make dem focus on their oil.


Just 5yrs of 8trillion massive investment in all sectors of the economy in ND, let's see who will beg who for visa.
Lagos and ogun wey never produce normal naija daily consumptions wan begin drag rights with ND, upon all their facories and industries and everything, their yearly revenue put together no still reach 1trillion.

Don't ask me if they can wait for the 5yrs massive investments, they are seeing light @ d end of the tunnel, if they can wait for naija to change for 50yrs, trust me, 5yrs is just a stepping stone.


All these things are just talks, just leave out the impending headache for the ND's, Shebi na dem go suffer am? Why taking panadol for their headache?


See, forget all these things, I am just saying it for saying sake, and just for u to know that u ain't doing ND any favour by staying in 1naija.


Just leave naija delta to worry about themselves. Focus on your south west, shikina

I told you i dont have any problems from Niger delta breakup see, you talked about 5 years of massive infrastructural investment in the niger Delta no wahala am very happy with that.


1. where are they going to get the cement to build the industries? Ogun state; Dangote and lafarge are the biggest producers of cement in Africa .


2.where are they going get the bitumen and gravel to make asphalt for their road? ondo and ogun state

3. what about they want to buy coke, fanta bournvita, indomie, magi etc? lagos, ogun, oyo


4. what about drugs ? lagos, ogun and oyo

you now see that out of that $8trillion Niger delta money at least $5trillion dollars is coming to south west

so am happy for them because it means good business for me. But as for you i will issue you visa to inter lagos.

emekakelvin:
which person picture them inscribe for the currency? If that man is still alive, I think federal government work is half done. Just locate the man, question him and get every fact you need to know on how to crush this/these militant (s)

how stupid do you think they are.

Ariani:
Even though your story is very far from the truth. But let's hypothetically entertain it as the truth for one second.


Is getting revenge over Ojukwu more worth it than fighting for secession of Eastern region, knowing that it would be easier to achieve his aim of Ijaw secession from Bia**** than from Nigerians who are not his neighbours. As of 1965, the Eastern region was strategically positioning and building up PH to rival and outshine Lagos as the nation's premier coastal, industrial and commercial city, to this end all necessary logistics were provided by the Eastern region government to enable successful transfer of Shell headquarters from Owerri to PH, and industrial estates established all over the city, and all these with just palm oil and Coal. An independent Eastern region would have continued in that vein with all the billions of petrol dollars invested in that city, PH would have been competing with Johannesburg today. And yet PH is a city Ijaws have a stake in and live right next to.

Even after dying at the hands of Nigerians with crude oil from his land siphoned to build up Lagos and Abuja, leaving his region in dilapidation, is it not obvious from hindsight that Adaka took the wrong decision fighting for Nigeria against Bia****?

One thing is sure, his partner Saro Wiwa after seeing the way Lagos was being built up with Niger Delta neglected, regretted fighting against the Eastern region.

I wouldn't go as far to say that Boro is silly, but I would say that he is naive, unstratetegic and driven by emotions rather than foresight. His actions will be akin to Ndiigbo joining Hausa-Fulani and their Yoruba partners to fight Niger deltans, simply because we wanted to pay them back for supporting the Hausa-Fulani and Yorubas against Eastern region.

Or us not supporting GEJ to pay them back for supporting Gowon against Ojukwu. It reeks of naivety and lack of foresight. Cos in the end, such actions will mean that we will both lose.

Well, Isaac Boro gave so many reasons in his memos as to why he believed Ijaws were being oppressed by Igbos, and Igbo leaders did nothing to address his complaints just as Nigeria is currently doing to the SS. So I find your story's first part quite incredible. The human spirit does not rebel against a system that is just and fair to everyone, hence Boro would not have sought NDR if all you claimed above were true of the relationship between Ijaws and Igbos in the Old Eastern Region.

On the second part: I remember you and I have had debates here in which you justified Zik's decision to reject Awolowo's all-south coalition proposal but align with the North to irreversibly enslave the whole South under the North in order to avenge Awolowo's refusal for him to become Western Region Premier earlier on. If Boro was myopic for "sacrificing" the larger picture in seeking for revenge in such manner, then why do you justify Zik's decision to align with the North which equally was a sacrificing of the larger picture in order to avenge Awolowo?

Deadlytruth:
Please how did he sell his people into slavery? Who exactly are his people?
In actual fact he tried to free his real people from the fraud called "One-Nigeria" but was betrayed by a neighbouring tribe which was still loving "One Nigeria". This "One-Nigeria" people fought him, got him arrested, killed his soldiers and sentenced him to death for trying to pull his people out of "One-Nigeria" fraud. But before they could execute their death sentence on him, they themselves were dethroned and killed. Those who took over power decided to release Boro unconditionally. After that the one-Nigerianists declared secession from Nigeria, and Isaac Boro decided to revenge by fighting against the one Nigerianists who earlier jailed him for the same "offence" of declaring secession. Was that how he betrayed his people and sold them into slavery? If he really sold his people into slavery by avenging Ojukwu's crushing of Niger Delta Republic, then why have his people now decided to honour him by placing his picture on their currency? Stop insulting Isaac Boro, he fought gallantly for his people unlike Zik who kept chanting "One Nigeria" while his brothers were being slaughtered by those he wanted to form his "One Nigeria" with.

My friend, history is there for all to see

There's no need for this writeup of yours filled with twisted bunkum cause people can access the truth for themselves with just a little research

I think Agbami is closer to the coastlines of Bayelsa than Any other state.
Bonga should be the one Ondo can get jurisdiction over.

Niger Delta will be the richest country in Africa and perhaps in the world.

Watch Fulani and their yoruba collaborators flood this thread with silly distractions and pure jealousy.

Hmm! I see. I am thinking it is Bonga but I think in this case they must have applied international law to justify their claim. Many people eye go clear wen dey achieve their aim of succeeding.

PARIS, MAY 27, 2016: (DGW) Militancy in the oil-rich Niger Delta has taken a new turn as militants have vowed to break away from the federation of Nigeria. The separatist feelings and aspirations which resulted in the ongoing bombing of oil and gas facilities in the region have eventually found expression in unveiling its 'national' currency.

Militants have been carry out attacks on oil and gas facilities of multinational oil corporations in the region the very latest being Chevron facility at its Escravos terminal on Thursday.

Niger Delta Avengers which have claimed responsibility for the attacks have vowed to stop at nothing until a sovereign state of the Niger Delta is actualized. A source who spoke to our reporter on condition of anonymity says much has been done to the region's ecosystem resulting from the operations of oil companies in the region and that every hue and cry raised so far to draw the government's attention to their predicament has fallen on deaf ears.

Hence the action to secede from Nigeria became absolutely necessary to save communities in the neglected region from gradual extinction.

I thought IPOB said they are part of niger delta.
see as them calve the land of the African Jews away.

As a pan-Nigerianist, should that be ur utmost concern at this point?

godfrey01:
Seee you mouth vomiting nonesense... Are you from the Niger delta? Have you ever gone to any of the riverine area?? My guess js as goood as a no... So stop saying rubbish.... What the NDA is fight for is right... Lets call a spade a spade... Don't worrry you will live to see a Nation called Niger delta...

my guy stop saying what you do not know?

Do you know my state of origin? If no, oya swerve

yomexp:
[s] I told you i dont have any problems from Niger delta breakup see, you talked about 5 years of massive infrastructural investment in the niger Delta no wahala am very happy with that.


1. where are they going to get the cement to build the industries? Ogun state; Dangote and lafarge are the biggest producers of cement in Africa .


2.where are they going get the bitumen and gravel to make asphalt for their road? ondo and ogun state

3. what about they want to buy coke, fanta bournvita, indomie, magi etc? lagos, ogun, oyo


4. what about drugs ? lagos, ogun and oyo

you now see that out of that $8trillion Niger delta money at least $5trillion dollars is coming to south west

so am happy for them because it means good business for me. But as for you i will issue you visa to inter lagos.[/s]

Let me school you just a little.
1. We don't need to patronize your big producers. Bua Cement, Ukpilla Former Edo cement, near Benin City produces cement. Atlas Cement Company Limited is a cement import-terminal based in Onne, Rivers State. It produced its first bags of cement in 2000, and thereafter went into full commercial production in February 2001. Since then, it has been serving the South-South and South East markets of Nigeria. Based in Calabar, Cross River State, UniCem is a joint venture between Lafarge Africa Plc and Holcim. The company has a production capacity of 2.5MMT and is one of Nigeria's largest cement manufacturers with strong presence in the South and South-ast regions. The list is endless.

2. Currently most of the roads globally are paved with petroleum bitumen which is also called asphalt. So tell me who has oil?

3. Hahahahaha.... this cracked me up real good. There are many food and beverage companies in the south and east. Aquafield Water Services Port Harcourt produces Alcohol, Drinking Water and Food & Beverages. Harris-marris-oshima Plc Onitsha Anambra State produces Alcohol, Agricultural products, Apparel/Fabric, Canned Fish etc etc. Omeran Foods Ltd Enugu State produces Alcohol, Frozen Food, Packaging & Paper Food & Beverage as well.

4. Afrik Pharmaceuticals Limited Imo State.

That's not to say that it will stop the igbos who own major business outlets in Lagos from doing what they know how to do best. They will import the hell out of those commodities.

You will be welcomed to take a free visa to this part of the world soonest.

Awo was never a sincere man, he was psyching out both Zik and the North, looking to pick the winning team between the two regions to pitch his tent with, the two regions found out and it boomeranged on Awo. Awo played the same game on Gowon and Ojukwu with favourable outcome that time around because of the failure of Aburi.

These are historical facts that had been mentioned time and time again on this forum by many Igbos here like Dede1, Deridegull and Duru1, but that Yorubas have failed to accept.
Awo insincerity killed a possible United southern front, though I don't expect you to accept that.

On Boro's issue, as of the time in discuss, crude oil wasn't Eastern region mainstay of income, Palm oil and Coal were, and much of these two were gotten from Igboland, Ibibiolands, Efikland and Annang, so I wonder the marginalization Boro was talking about when most of the rural areas in the East other than Urban centres like PH, Enugu, Calabar, Onitsha were pretty much undeveloped as of then. It wasn't like crude oil were being siphoned from his rural Ijawland to build Enugu. Enugu had coal that was used to build it. It wasn't built off the proceeds from the Ijaw man's country.

Was he expecting the Whole Eastern region meagre income to be spent developing just his rural Ijaw areas? When most of the rural parts of the East were pretty much just the same.

Woooow! I love this. I am a Yoruba person but I support this. They are very very very wise! You know why? Cos they like to get off Nigeria before success comes. I wonder how stupid they could be and imagine if their money would be accepted internationally. No country will trade with the money or accept cos it's not gonna be accepted by IMF nor world bank. That's that!
Again, get to knw that There are oil reserves not in the east but south west and north. Lagos joins oil producing state. Ogun state has oil but yet to be tapped into. Bitumen and agriculture, south west! Education, south west! What are u telling me? You'll come to the yorubas and beg for food @ last when no one accepts you. Believe that! Gbaaams!

You suggest that Boro should have joined forces with Ojukwu to liberate Biafra? That suggestion is easier said than done. Put yourself in Boro's shoes and see if you can come out of jail and join those who jailed you to fight against those who released you. Let's be practically honest and realistic of what we expect others to do towards us.

989900B:
Go and read about Equatorial Guinea.

BTW, Nigeria's total oil reserves (heavy and light oil) is put at about 76 billion barrels; Ondo state alone owns roughly 40 billion barrels of those.

You will argue still, because getting facts across to 'sincerely ignorant' people is like baptizing a cat.

THEN WHY ARE YOU AFRAID OF SECEDING AND BE YOUR OWN COUNTRY, IF YOU CANT THEN LEAVE THOSE THAT WISH TO STAY ON THEIR OWN TO MOVE ON

Knightngale:
They will soon be silenced like the Biafra agitators.

Is the current issues about who has what amount of oil? Instead of giving solutions to the problems threatening the country's unity, so let the SS go so Ondo can feed the nation.

Then let's agree that Boro was an emotional man rather than a visionary leader. Visionary leaders see beyond their emotions, they think strategically, Boro never did.
With the advantage of his hindsight, we can clearly see that he allowed vendetta to guide him to the worn ghost side of history.

In 2011, Igbo leaders could have easily dumped GEJ and take the VP slot the North was throwing in front of us, in accordance to PDP zoning formula, but we didn't. It was a good time to pay the Ijaws in their own coin by teaming up with the same people they teamed up against us, but we resisted that. We saw beyond emotions into the future and today, that Igbo sacrifice is the only reason we are talking of SE/ SS unity.

You've made too much blunders for me to continue with you.

1. You can't differentiate between reserves and production.

2. You think reserves is directly proportional to production . . . lol . . . that's so kindergarten.

3. You can't differentiate between 'heavy oil' and 'light oil' reserves and production.

I'm not good at wasting my time with people like you.

Have a good one.

I followed most of your comments on nigeria's oil reserve. First of all, who did that research & how u sure that research wasnt a scam, we live in a country where government feeds pple with lies. How does ondo state reserve oil, how MANY oil wells does ondo hve. Logically, oil produced by Major oil producing states are transported to the countrys oil reserve, mayb in kaduna, ondo, lagos. You should respect the Niger delta pple, Niger Delta Region is the pillar of nigeria until Nigeria finds AN alternative source of income. If the niger delta Region is still part of nigeria and states like osun, ekiti, oyo are finding hard to keep the ground running, wat Will happen wen the Niger delta Region leaves Nigeria, ekiti that was recieving 759m Will receive 75m. You cannot bite the fingers that feed u, Nigeria needs the Niger Delta Badly
