The Niger Delta crisis is a serious matter that requires serious policy and committed and courageous leadership to resolve.


The Niger Delta has been complaining about environmental
damage from oil exploration and rising unemployment and poverty in the region, but the successive governments and the multi-national oil corporations have been insensitive to the plight of the people. The people have endured a long history ofeconomic and social injustice and they are now “tired of being at the bottom.”

I don't support the activities of the militants, but the truth is that, we the people of Niger Delta have been suffering from
environmental degradation and pollution through oil spillage and gas flaring. There are many other “Tales of Agony” strewn the landscape that I do not deem necessary to drop here.

The crisis in the Niger Delta is not complex by itself. But the approach to resolving it makes it complex and dangerous. Thepeople are not asking for anything out of the ordinary. The region that is home to Nigeria’s oil wealth remains the mostimpoverished community in the nation. What a paradox! Travel down to the communities and you will notice the lack of basic infrastructure, good network of roads, health care facilities, good schools and portable water etc.


The oil wealth is not being used to develop the area. The successive governments have collected billions of dollars from the land over the decades, but little (if any) has been invested in the area to improve the people’s living conditions. Is there anything wrong in investing some money that are realized from the oil extracted from the region to improve the people’s living conditions?

The main causes of Niger Delta crisis include greed and selfishness, deprivation and poverty, and “social injustice.” Thesimple meaning of social justice, according to experts, is that the same contribution equals the same benefit. A person’s“benefit" equals his or her “contribution.” And no community should be given more when it contributes less or be given less when it contributes more!

That is the crux of the matter in the Niger Delta crisis! The Niger Delta is contributing a lot to the economic well being of Nigeria and it is getting nothing, but destruction, in return. Without social justice there will be no peace in the Niger Delta and socioeconomic development will continue to elude the region. Social justice is an important ingredient for “socioeconomic development.” It creates “a healthy, harmonious, reliable social psychological atmosphere that willstimulate economic development.” And because of social injustice the entire nation is slowly becoming politically and
economically very unstable.

God bless Nigeria!!!

You have said all that has bn said over and again but you almost asked a question I expected you to but....

Mr., the Niger Delta gets 13% derivation
The NiGer delta has a Ministry allocated to it with monies allocated to it!

The Niger Delta has the NDDC with budgetary allocations for the region.

We are always so quick wen we are not making use of the "little" we have been given.

How come a Tompolo jst in a few yrs is now a billionaire or does that garrulous Asari come to mind?

We have enemies within who keep milkin us dry from within while keep pointing us at Buhari's face.

If we like, give the Niger delta budget our entire national budget....i tell u ds, nothin wl change! Nothing! Not wt ds kind of people we have as regional leaders!

Until we begin to take that community leader, councellor, chairman, gov, NDDC chairman etc of our region to task, we wl keep makin baseless noise over and again.

Now we have our eyes on our national budget forgettin there is a state budget closest to us!

pls can u send me d manuals adebolaadewale08@gmail.com ..thanks.God bless

I wl try to look for it in one of my junk emails and send it to you. Give me some time...max.tomoro evening. Happy sunday

denko:
Isaac Boro Was killed did that stop the struggle NO! Saro Wiwa was killed did that stop the agitation NO! Sending soldiers will always result to arm struggle that even the Niger delta indigenes outside the zone will reconsider going back to join the struggle.

Maybe the first advice shd be not to celebrate criminality in the guise of fighting for our freedom becos anyhw we dice it, we loose!

Actions give rise to consequences!

betterABIAstate:
Buhari always playing into trap with that his coconut head, exactly what the militants want, or do you think they forgot that Nigeria has a military?

This feeble line of thought again? Please not again!
This is the same line of thought that has got Kanu where he is!

kcnwaigbo:
Don't mind the guy saying APC friendly militants!!Obsanjo tried forceand failed,Yaradua tried force and failed before he finally initiated the amnesty program.The NDA have tabled reasonable demands,the government should look into it

For how long will we keep going round this circle of impunity? After we have pampered this ones, then another and another....

Until we realise that we cant just wake up and take laws into our hands without the corresponding consequence the better for this nation.

Maybe we shd have pampered BokoHaram because they had "legitimate" demands in the beginning?

Blowing up pipelines doesnt bring them any inch closer to to whatever "demands" they have. It only worsens the environmental and economic conditions of the SS.

Lets learn frm the conditions in the North East!

For those comparing PMB and OBJ, hmm...if only u knew better!

VulgarVulvas:
Buhari opened an account with the UK based Midland bank since 1975 where he deposited $4bn of NNPC money.


That Money is now part of zhara's trust fund and college fees.


Dey there dey yarn koworption.

Rily? Wow! Anytym folks like u bandy ds sort of hooey around, u try to make us feel like u just found water on mars!

Concrete Empirical & Verifiable Evidence Please? This is the part where u need to spew another layer of hogwash to buttress ur tomfoolery.

Son, the elections are over...wake up!

If there was somethin like this which only u and ur cotravellers know of, Fayose or FFK wd have used it during the last election.

You are not Fayose, FFK and not a card carryin member of any political party, so chill cos u r nt paid to troll!

chumakk:
Some group that's funded by some by few people don't represent the interest of millions of people

Of course they dnt but it should be a source of worry when they paint ur tribe as a tribe willing to be bought by the highest bidder to support criminality.

Remember that this is nt the only time we find folks from ur stock brandishing such banners. A Daniel Kanu comes to mind!

Instead of sweepin it under the carpet as just some greedy, misguided youths, it shd engender an open conversation by ur leaders to find out why it is "always" u folks that will support a Saraki or a Dasuki .

Now they dnt represent the generality of the Igbos but this words will soon get stale lyk the Muslims tryin to divorce terrorism from their religion!

wadetaw202:
Why not wait till these guys are actually prosecuted and sent to prison before making your unreasonble and ill-timed comment?

I won't be surprised if the soldiers or the police receive "orders from above" to release those Fulani herdsman. The order may even tell the police to return the weapons back to the herdsmen.

So you Dont know that many of those cattles these guys rear belong to the big wigs in northern politics?

Why not also wait to see if these armed herdsmen will be proecuted before cooking up baseless conjectures in all its incongruity about the Nigerian Police recieving orders from above to release them or even hand over their weapons to them. Why the haste to malign the NPF?

Pavore9:
“You feel like you are somebody when you are given a gun and a mission.”...............So misplaced!

Misplaced it is within the atrocious acts of this terrorist group, but when u consider that statement within the context of man's makeup you will undrstand and appreciate the validity of that statement.

Man by makeup is driven by purpose and this pursuit of purpose is undying. Armed with this knowledge any disenchanted folks could be manipulated in to acceptin this untoward "purpose".

The poverty and the disenchantment by ordinary folks remains a breedin ground for this kind of acts.

The truth is for as long as the Northern elites do not wake up to ridding their region of subhuman poverty, we wont see the end to such violent religious ideology!

Serenity008:
If you believed that those girls were actually kidnapped, then you the corruption we are talking about in this country.

APC used that tool to discredit GEJ regime and it worked for them.

Folks like u keep regurgitating this gibberish to save face from the ineptitude of the last admin!

Lets say I agree wt ur hooey, are u saying that GEJ allowed himself to be discredited by the APC who were formed a couple of months to the elections? We are talking about a president here not a Councillor! You

If there is no crack in the wall, a lizard wont have a crevice to hide! GEJ and his crew mishandling of that issue gave the opposition a talking point cos for two weeks there was no concrete statement or action by the govt on the matter. All they kept whispering was that "it is a scam" like you and ur co-travellers keep saying two years after eventhough those that know better say otherwise!

This same scenario of buryin our heads in the sand and acting lyk this does nt exist is playing out on the issue of Fulani herdsmen and if this govt doesnt handle it well, it wl b a case of lyk GEJ lyk PMB! God forbid!

maupe:
You ply the Apapa Oshodi expressway everyday and you still complain about the "failure" of GEJ.
You watched as Nigeria's economy grew by 6% and yet you mocked the President's economic team
You bought fuel consistently, without queing and yet you blamed him for subsidy payments.
President Jonathan, was no lee kuan Yuew, given, but he was pretty close to that.
Dont worry, Paul Nwabuikwu, will help clarify her statement tomorrow.

Son, I admire the fact that you ddnt discountenance any of my stated facts, not even the one to do with your gender identity crisis.

For a start, that's commendable, but it is worrisome that you had to do what you and your co-travellers do when boxed to a corner-throw up so much nonsense in the hope that some sense wl stick out.

Son, nonsense is nonsense! I mean what you wrote is nonsense and has no bearin whatsoever on this discourse!

You have every ryt to compare GEJ with whomever dts ur headache but the vast majority know his signature moniker!

If only this was the first pot shot NOI has taken on d GEJ admin which she served under in which she is no less complicit in the ills of the last govt, we wd hv waved it off, but this is actually her second prodding of ur Lee kwan Yuew clone! Paul shd know d first!

maupe:
Obama is currently being denied his right to nominate and confirm a supreme court judge, by the Republican congress. Will you hold Obama responsible for that. Remember the President was forced by a judgement from a federal high court to release the funds.

Son, all this semantic rigmarole is all hooey!

This your analogy has no bearing on this matter because if the governors ddnt want to continue saving they wd have opted out from the beginning but they did until....

Please tell me am wrong to the following questions:

Did the governors go to court to stop the savings in the beginning? NO!
I guess you know their adduced reason for takin that decision!

Did the governors stop the Executive arm from saving its own share of the ECA saavings? NO! ( So u kno d govs only had a 30% stake)

Are the governors responsible for the depletion of our foreign reserves? NO!

Her words are as clear as day.....she mentioned OBJ admin and compared it with the last admin where i know that Amaechi wasnt the president and if you keep pushing the Amaechi stale gibberish, you only indict your hero as nothing less than the various epithets he has been called in different fora!

You can lie to yourself all you like, jst as u- a male claimed to b "female maupe" of channels but this glaring facts you cant deny!

fxskye:
So Mr. President was right during Presidential Maiden Chat where he said it's a tip of an iceberg of what we are hearing

Ofcourse....for the blind n deaf!

Just when you taught uve heard it all, you keep hearing more!

I believe this is just the tip of d iceberg we will hear about these thieving politicians!

One by one, we wl witness their dance of shame!

Sirjohn84:
SEEMS EVERY AVERAGE NIGERIA IS AGAINST HON SARAKI.. I HOPE HE SCALE THROUGH COS IT SEEMS EVEN THE gods HAVE FORSAKE HE

Wrong Son, Wrong!

No average Nigerian is against a saraki, the consequences of his actions or inactions are against him!

Let his counsel establish his innocence and he can go back to his seat in d senate!

Folk like u who kp weaving one absurd conspiracy tale is what beats simple common sense!

Yours is "powerful men" are after him and ur co-travellers hv said "it is because he is contesting for d presidency in 2019". The hooey u folks cook up is quite alarming and only goes to prove why we are so backwards.

We wl never hear folks like u cookin up any conspiracy theory when it is a common Man on the streets but wen its som politician that doesnt give damn abt u (except uve sold ur right for a morsel of pottage fron their table), u com rushing to make permutations that make no sense.

Its simple:
IF found guilty, he rots and otherwise, he walks!

Goodmorning!

Sirjohn84:
ITS VERY A CLEAR THERE ARE POWERFUL MEN BEHINDS THE SCREEN WHO WANT THIS MAN OF THE SENATE TOP MAN CHAMBER... WE ARE WATCHING AS MORE DRAMA UNFOLD

And I guess those powerful men made him collect pension/salary at the same time and they made him forget to declare his wife's asset?

Son, let Saraki clear his name den he shd com n deal wt dose ur powerful men!

shugaboy6102:
In as much as i don't like this guy one question that Needs to be asked is of all the past Governors we have had in Nigeria why is the CCB just only on his case.Pls corruption should be for all lotters and not for just a select few.

Or we shd let him go abi?

This flawed logic from folks like u beats common sense black and blue!

How does the fact that others who are not docked yet justify Saraki?


If it was a PDP fela, u and ur co-travellers will say witchhunting or persecution!

Since its an APC fella, u now say, ah, is he the only one?
Ofcourse he isnt, but there is akways one to set a precedent with!

So chill and watch the unfolding drama!

kadree:
Dis ur comment force me to enter dis thread. E make sense too well.
For Naija,na d rich dey fit fight d rich. My brother I dey bow for pple reasoning oo. Except u don join wack d loot, wetin b ur reason for d heart attack say dem dey try drag person wey many knw say him hand no clean. Seriously, suffer head na some pple short n long time goal in life. If even buhari is found wanting, let him b treated in akin way or even more. Abi dem knock my gate wen dem dey loot n forge? U v abt 80 lawyers in d court wey go collect sure well loaded brown envelop tonite after dem don finish for court, den person wey only rely on free data after #100.00 recharge go dey defend dem. Again bro, tnks for dis piece. E make sense die.

Chairman, u go jst tire for some people matter...people wey never chop beleful go dey worry demselves dey write one season film untop every politician matter.

I tire oo.....i jst tire!

Anybody wey get case mk e bear im papa name....simple..

I greet u my broda!

unlawfulact:
What is happening to saraki now is not really about his emergence as senate president neither is it about genuine concern to fight corruption using him as a scape goat. Ther truth is saraki is seen as a strong contender a man to beat in 2019 hence the need to shut him down by all means. Are u not susprise that nasir el rufai offers to be a witness against saraki. He might not be jailed eventually but they must have suceeded in damaging its reputation.

Go to kwara state or those who lost everything in Societe Generale Bank and tell this conspiracy hooey u r already weaving if and u wl kno d outcome!

Sometimes I wonder what planet some of u r from!

Theres never some conspiracy if its a common man that is in the dock but the moment it is some politician that dnt give a damn abt you (except u hv been eating from the till), it becomes witchhunting or persexution!

Who cares if he is witchhunted?


If politicians had been witchhunting themselves just like obj did, nigeria wd have been saner.


He remains innocent until proven guilty, so let his counsel do d needful by proving his innocence and he goes back to the senate like nothing happend.

U and ur co-travellers shd spare us ds gibberish of a sermon...it doesnt sell!

Its simple: U and I cant fight this fellas, so our prayer is let them cannibalise themselves that way they wd think twice be4 looting, knowin that if their enemy finds out they wont hesitate to show us how torn their boxers and panties are!

minding ones business is a better way to hv a better life

Ooops, unfortunately, u ddnt "mind ur own biz by making this comment"!

sinkhole:
because he talked plain truth?

Sometimes the way we christians make mockery of ourselves baffles me atimes.

I remember how we went to town unclad on the issue of Islamic banking only for us to have our mouths filled with sawdust after it became open knowledge that the biggest backers among others of such idea were Christians from the least likely of places-the east!

The elections came and we were regaled by the Islamisation agenda of a buhari despite all d facts that point otherwise!

Now it is "religious preaching bill" and we are nt hearing any concrete intellectual position apart from the "you will die" position. The hue and cry is that it is goin to be used against the christians!

The question is have the islamic banks suddenly been used to replace our commercial banks?

Has buhari pressed one button and all our ladies suddenly appear in burqas and hijabs (when even his wife doesnt wear one like our former VP wife, Sambo)?

El rufai has said that if the christian body has issues with the bill he is ready to pull it out BUT they must be ready to regulate their members. Is that so difficult?

I totally agree becos anybody jst needs a bible/quran, a mango tree for shade and a full stomach to shout, and they are in business, dishing out anything they like!

There is one funny "prayer house cum church" close to my house setup by a muslim husband and christian wife.

That was how we had a "Rev" king in our hands and we have such all over nigeria!

If we christians have an issue wt the tbill, we shd engage and not blow hot air from pulpits or the pages of newspapers!

Paretomaster:
For d past one week in Lokoja.....20-22 hours don't know how dey do it......

Guy dt is so true...I work around phase 2 and stay around felele...ryt now there is lyt sinc last night!

TonyeBarcanista:
Please don't make it about me. it is about a generation that I am part of.

Son, stop skirting around ds issue! There is a power in ONE! Yes, ONE!

An epistle written by a "coward" addressed to other "cowards" of like minds doesn't change nothing!

Walk your talk, Son!

If you believe you have youthful ideals that are transformational, go out there and start from the lowest rung in govt!

Lets see what impact you and youths like you can bring to bare as COUNCELLORS!

You dnt have d money? Crowdfund! This is will b ur first test!

I guess u r nt expecting to be handed the mantle of leadership on a platter of gold when most comments on any platform from youths like you lack sound judgement!

Read through the comments on ur thread and you will get my point! Some wailer "cowards" from your camp see your beautiful piece as you rebuking the zombie "cowards" and some Zombie "cowards" see ur piece as just hooey jst because it is written "coward" barcanista!
There couldnt be anything hollow as these positions on both divides!

Its nt enough to tell us you can SWIM, take the DIVE!

You might nt win any election bt you wd have achieved what a million epistles to the land of nowhere will-AWaKENING!

Remain Blessed!

Pprovost:
Something is strange here......The two most Academically developed Regions (SW and SE) have the least number of primary schools! how come

One word, ENROLMENT! That makes a world of difference...literacy is nt in the number of buildings you know but in how many sit behind those classrooms and make something out of what is being taught there!

The polio case before its eventual eradication is a case in point...if there is no buy in, Almajiri Schools in every corridor wont make a difference.

Am i sayin that people dnt go to school in the North? No! Am sayin that the number that do pales in the face of dose dt dnt considering the population of the north as a whole.

Education as a whole in Nigeria needs to be reworked from the pursuit of just literacy to Numeracy where functional skills are imparted quite early!

So what are the yorubas benefitting from the polical bridge? Seems yOu dont realize the fulanis have used and dumped tinubu and his bridge

5. Gave God an ample sum of money and didn't announce it.
You'll see people give with one hand and broadcast with the other. Little wonder, the seed fails to reproduce maximally.

This is one I won't agree with you on.
That's why you see flamboyant, worldly pastors looking dazzling at the expense of the church members.
The kingdom of God has nothing to do with worldly wealth God shares blessings and favour as HE so pleases regardless of whether the recipient is charitable in giving or not

Theres no case for argument here in what d op has posited....your bible tells you that in Matt 6:2-4

shumuel:
kikiki Lol the guys do it too, i just love sitting where i feel like.

I beg to disagree with you on this "I sit where I feel like attitude" when it comes church folks and ushers cos if everyone in that service chose to do what they "felt" like, I bet church we will end up with a service of broken chairs.

So wen the usher tries to get you to a seat, most times to feel up empty seats in front that I sometimes wonder why we run away from and you rebuff them, what does the bible call that?

DISOBEDIENCE

What a way to start service unto God?

I had to realise this and this made me stop givin ushers headache, after all I am spending only few hours in church!

SeverusSnape:
I'm not a fan of Saraki, But the double standard of APC SUPPORTERS is nauseating.

When Saraki decamped from the PDP and joined APC, He was hailed as a "progressive".

When he was going about campaigning for/with Saint Buhari, He was called a general of common sense. I remember him going to the Chatham house with Buhari to deliver one phony speech, and taking pictures.


https://cdn.dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Saraki-buhari.png

When he used looted funds from Kwara state to bankroll Buhari's campaign, he was called an agent of change.

When he delivered Kwara to APC, He was showered with praises and eulogies, "Hero of democracy" they called him.

But when he clinched the seat of Senate president against the wish of some power brokers like Tinubu the okpolo eyes, That's when they remembered he is a corrupt guy. All of una dey crase.

I see you regurgitating this ur concocted hooey on every thread about Saraki...it doesnt sell son cos this is just a lame attempt to turn logic on its head and only ur minion of "likers" will buy it!

In ur mind u feel you made so much sense abi.....hmmm...#applause

In ur epic hypocrisy that you ascribe to others, you will be among the first to shout if Saraki's case had been swept under the carpet and would discredit this administration anti-corruption war!

If Saraki is convicted 2mao, folks like u will still say until Tinubu or Amaechi or Buhari is convicted..bla bla


Son, give it a rest....

ari3l:
Exactly what I said in one of the earlier threads. Like I said GEJ just knows simple national politics, he obviously doesn't know nigeria policy towards governance as a whole. My annoyance with him is his failure to read the signs and didn't act. He's gone now, but it's well.

Sis..Politicians all over the world do so many things to undermine each other. As abnormal as what they might do is, It is normal to them!

This is why every incumbent are on their guard. For a man who has been in the corridoors of power, he knows this. Yes, he is gone but truth be told he was deficient in that regard!

IAmTobore:
This whole nonesense is not making sense to me yet, unless Shekarau himself has been nabbed.

Oga Shekau is not a person but a title...anybody can assume the role of shekau. Remember his name is Abubakar Shekau and you can kill "Shekau" a million times and still have him around in a sense.

I personally want to believe that that "Shekau" is dead and after BH pledged allegiance to ISIS, there was no need for a Shekau who coordinates attacks and BH now morphed into a decentralised fighting force where terror cells can carry out strikes independent of other cells.

This morphing became still born with the coming unboard of this new administration as the renewed fighting force of our military choked their incubation and they were left without a "Shekau" and the cells hadnt matured because there was no structured chain of command and motivation from a garrulous Shekau!

Technically, yes that word again, Shekau is dead!

ari3l:
+50

How are you sure there is something like "Chibok girls" I see it as a plot to unseat the past president.

Think about it, the girls left... no trail, but the others they caught, they had a trail, don't you see lies looking at you in the face?
APC and their ways of discredit for past governance.

Bravo to Nigerian army all the same, as for Buhari.. not saying anything.

When folks like you keep you keep regurgitating this hogwash, I kinda wonder if you actually know the power vested in the seat of the presidency!

So you think GEJ knew that there were no girls kidnapped or rather the girls kidnapped were just a ploy to unseat him and as a president he just sat there moping?

So among ALL his service chiefs that make up the military it is only folks like you with this weird tendency to turn logic on its head that are privy to this "conspiracy" I guess?

Sis, let me educate you, in politics you dnt give your opponent the advantage then come back to cry that they are using it against you. Yes, politicians used it for political mileage but denying the occurence and the poor handling of the incident by that administration is the height of deceit!

Hmm....If you keep peddling this position of yours, you do the worst disservice to GEJ becos you make him worse than all the worse epithets he is been called. I want to believe you wont be there as president and you know of a "plot" and you wont do anythin to protect your lot!
