You have said it all. What else do we expect when we are still being governed by the same set of people who refuse to leave the government since we got the country became a Republic. All they care about is stashing millions of dollars in foreign accounts and acquiring numerous properties.

Marine50:
How is it a corse those complaining, they collect wages and salaries monthly, they have scholarships for their kids , etc most of dem in my sch Amenty students so wat else do they want

MelaninSkinGirl:
They have sold out this country. Though I was a child during Abacha's regime but I remember things were not this bad. Democracy has destroyed what was left of Nigeria,it was an invitation for all the satanic political elites to loot this country dry.

the problem here is poverty, greed and stupidity

an Oil producing State shouldn't even have Fishermen as indegine... you cant see a Texas , Oklahoma or Alaska indegine in America or Alberta, Saskatchewan, province indigene in Canada or Abudhadi, Dubai and Sharjah emaratis who is still a fisherman in 2020 while his state Oil is being sold for billions of dollars daily on internation crude oil markets..

Oil producing states in the world are known to house refineries , chemical producing industries, plastic and pvc factories, fertilizer plants and gas powered power plant, with plenty white collar jobs for indegenes

lets say Oil is found in my very own Ibadan, nobody.. I repeat no fucking body would have the balls to come into Oyo state to come and explore our Oil.. we go don harvest their heads use them for sacrifice

Without sentiments, Niger delta is arguably the dumbest region in Nigeria. I have never seen a region full of potentials yet highly unwise, tactically impotent. Full with people who bear European names but archaic in thinking, strategy, and objectivity.

If you feel offended, I owe you no apologies but a request that you think of strategic ways to better your people. The same old play book of gra gra and much ado has not gotten the region anywhere.

If I go full frontal on ND, this thread will burst into flames. Flames of truth anyway.

How can they have those industries you listed when they region is unsafe for investors.

Niger Delta region is very hostile and sometimes they behave like stupid and uncivilized set of people. When they have militant and avengers like tompolo, asari dokubo Sam ateke etc that blow oil pipeline, destroy oil facility and kidnapped multinational foreigners working in they region just for they selfish interest what do you expect ?

What about the piracy in the gulf of guinea caused by Niger Delta militant .

Even they political elites are very corrupt.
They have the worst corrupt elites in Nigeria.

It's been almost four years Buhari promised to clean up the Niger-Delta yet the situation keeps getting worse.

This government is a sham and a scam.

stanluiz:
They political elites have looted the money. Store them in foreign banks and use the rest to buy properties in Dubai, UK ,US etc just like the criminal former governor of Delta State James ibori.

With the oil money they received from the FG and multinational oil companies and indigenous oil companies paying tax. Niger Delta states like Delta, rivers , bayelsa and akwa ibom should be like oman , Kuwait, UAE etc but the reverse is the case.

Go the bayelsa and see the poverty there. You will shed tears. What are they just fishermen.

Carlmax:
What do you want us to do, we are in a union where decisions are not made by us but by Abuja... Why exactly are you insulting the people of Niger-Delta, we are nothing but victims here... Please I need you to burst into flames cause I want to know what we did wrong.

corruption is one thing, quality and standard of life of the citizen is another everything seems to have collapsed under Democracy and Corruption seem to have being institutionalized

everything that was estimated that Abacha stole, isn't up to Obasanjo's $10bn USD Power Scam or Jonathan / Dasuki / Allison Madueke total loot, when this regime also goes we shall all see another season film of corruption

By Toyin Akinosho

A Hydraulic workover rig Grace-1 HWU, working for the Nigerian independent Guarantee Petroleum, burst into flames over the weekend in the course of re-entry operations on the Ororo-1 well in shallow water Oil Mining Lease (OML) 95.

The incident was the culmination of a well control situation that had been shaping up since mid -April.

Field data indicate that, in late April, technicians had put the well under control after it had released fluid to surface through malfunctioned Blow Out Preventer (BOP) on the rig, owned by Joeny Holdings Limited. “Well is stable and gas leak at the same level as at when BOP was closed-in. No increase in gas flow”, the report indicated as of April 22, 2020.

But by May 15, the wellhead had caught fire.

“All the personnel had been successfully evacuated off the 300 Series SEWOP (Self Elevating Work-Over Platform)”, reported Guarantee Petroleum, operator of the Ororo field. But the Platform itself had not been moved from the site.

The company had written the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), the industry regulatory agency, since April 23rd, requesting for approval to carry out the needed containment of the flow of gas and fluid droplets from the wellhead. Guarantee claims that the regulator did not dignify it with a response.

DPR spokespersons dd not have any comments on the matter.

Guarantee’s licence to Ororo field had been revoked by the Nigerian government, through the DPR, on April 7, 2020, but the company was deep in the middle of the re-entry operations when the letter came.

DPR’s refusal to respond, in the last month, to Guarantee Petroleum’s correspondences, may have to do with the regulator’s consideration that the company no longer had a right to the field. But that itself throws up a question: How can you revoke a licence right in the middle of operations you have yourself approved? See related story.

On May 15, after the fire incident started, Guarantee Petroleum sought DPR’s approval to use dispersants “and other needed materials “around the well and environs “to avoid loss of lives and further pollution of the communities affected”.

It also said it contacted Chevron Nigeria and Halliburton (the American oil service provider) for help. Chevron, an E&P major, is the operator of OML 95, the acreage from which Ororo field was ringfenced.

Esimaje Brikinn, Chevron’s General Manager, Public Affairs explained to Africa Oil+Gas Report that “the affected facility is a third-party facility and it is not operated by Chevron Nigeria Limited (CNL) or any of its affiliates”. He added that the company was “prepared to provide necessary emergency response assistance in accordance with petroleum industry emergency response protocol, to help address the situation, if required. CNL remains committed to safety of the people and the environment. CNL will continue working with relevant regulatory agencies and other stakeholders on protection of the environment”.

Grace-1 HWU had been on the well since October 2019.

Am from Niger Delta and u are right.
The major problem with Niger Deltan is unity, we are not United at all, ijaw don't trust itsekiri, itsekiri don't trust urhobo, and so on.
