How this man thinks he understands the situation better than the Nigerian government is beyond me.

While the gov't should do more especially in ensuring the funds for the host communities get to the real people of the land, there are too many misconceptions flying around that needs to be addressed.

However, some conditions or demands requested by the NDA are mostly childish, f00lish, and unmeetable i.e. apologizing for 'Alams' death, releasing Nnamdi Kanu, 90% of oil blocks are owned by northerners and should be relinquished and e.t.c.

OTOH, some demands are of serious concern which the gov't should pay attention to i.e. the enviroment and making sure monies meant for the communities do not end up in a few people's pockets.

That said, I think some facts should be dished out to people of Bayelsa and by extension Delta.

1. Both states contribute far less than half of our crude oil output.

2. Akwa Ibom contributes almost roughly twice that of Bayelsa's.

3. River state contributes more than Delta state. And both Rivers and Akwa Ibom states does very well for itself than Delta and Bayelsa . . . they need to look in the mirror.

4. Bayelsa state with a population of 2 million, draws more from the federal purse than Lagos state even though Lagos turns more into the national purse than Bayelsa!

5. Ondo state's oil (heavy and light), is greater than all other states in the country put together (even the ownership of the Agbami oil fields, about 100 kilometers of the Ilaje waterfront of Ondo state that accounts for the largest of Niger Delta's oil is still being debated . . . that's just and aside though)

6. There was a time this country didn't have oil, and we all survived on income from other states.

7. According to DPR, Nigerians currently own 52 per cent of the country’s 173 active oil blocs, while foreign oil companies own 48 per cent of the total of 388 oil blocks in the country, only 173 of them have been awarded to individuals and corporations, while 215 blocks were yet to be awarded. Broken further, of the 173 so far awarded, Nigerians owned 90 blocks while foreigners owned 83 blocks.

And all the 90 blocks awarded to indigenous players account for only six per cent of the country’s total crude oil production, while the 83 awarded to foreign oil companies account for 94 per cent of the total output.

8. All presidents from IBB to GEJ are guilty of awarding oil blocks to their cronies. And last time I checked, it's pure mix of friends and allies cutting across all tribes, parties, and gender.

9. Oil prospecting and blocks can only be awarded to people that have the funds; not because it's your hometown. And they are leases and JVs, those companies don't own them in the real sense of the word (that's just some barbaric thinking).

10. The PIB was drafted to protect oil communities, but GEJ, Diezani, the 6th and 7th senate bastardized it and didn't pass it!

Stop dishing out lies here this treacherous yoruba man ... You have to understand that all this una lies doesn't fly again. People are wiser now!

Hmmm Seems our security agencies are incompetent..

Even the mods has joined the tribal induced propaganda with their quack source... All this una propaganda is not working again. Pls find another lie to spew!!

AntiMahdi:
Must you always defend nonsense?

Don't blame him, that's what he does for a living..

goingape:
pls is it Yoruba!

I'm afraid to check the name cos every time I check the name of this kind of crime, always the y people and that look phenomena to me

Of course it's the y people, the suffertisticated ones

rhymaster:
Focus on the story and stop derailing to discuss another story which you can open a different thread for. If the leadership of NEPC is truly fighting to right the wrongs of years for the betterment of Nigeria and Nigerians, and you focus more on mundane, irrelevant and self- and tribe-serving stories, then you deserve exactly what you got for years under the PDP and military governments. What you need to do is to add a positive voice that things be done correctly at all levels of government because then, Nigeria will truly be Nigeria that can support its citizens and stop rushing to foreign countries to work as near-slaves or live as second class citizens in their country.

Shatap there.. The girl is saying the truth!

Immediately I saw the title, I rushed to check the name and as usual, I wasn't disappointed!

What you guys don't understand is that this is Zidane vs Enrique and I'm glad Zidane my man won.. Still got his historic France 98 in my memory

Yoruba people and ritual are like bread and butter.. Go to Lautech and see what their children are doing in the name of yahoo.. Killing their kits and kins like chicken..

bongila:
APC supporters like you really disgust me. Here you are castigating someone for calling Buhari an animal but you couldn't resist calling PGEJ an IB right Hypocrisy stinks I tell you!

Can you just imagine those silly things displaying their acute hypocrisy?

OLADD:
That's your business. Even the dullest of dullards knows I was referring to your uncouth mouth.

That woman is just sick in the head.. Whenever I see her running wild on NL here in her world of excitement spewing her usual thrash laden with acute hypocrisy, I just shake my head for her..

omofunaab:
Have I shown you that I support any politician...please keep shut, I only want what's best for the nation

Shatap there... In your own words, 'Infact those that praise dasuki,tompolo,fayose etc are the real zombies' .. What your implies is that those that praise Tinubu and his gang of criminals that left PDP to APC are now saints... If you want to be neutral, condemn all our present and past leaders both PDD/APC and all tribes. But burying your head in your world of hypocrisy claiming neutral is what's not gonna sale..

omofunaab:
I think this article is balanced and I don't see why some people are calling names as if the article is directed at them.. .what's the difference between you that support dasuki, saraki and Jonathan.. Infact those that praise dasuki,tompolo,fayose etc are the real zombies ....but tonyebarcanista don't just write to garner likes or applause but please endeavor to always practice what you preach unless we will attack you and ignore the message because the source is unreliable and unstable

But you that is praising Tinubu and his gang of criminals is not a zombie right?... You are suffering from acute hypocrisy...

higherpower:
I can bet u he will never have an answer to that. U see! Some people talk before thinking.

What did you call GEJ when he was the president? Buhari is a wild animal!

walegee:
Typical rivers speech

Rivers is very peaceful but when you try to show your stubbornness embedded in acute hypocrisy, then we will teach you a lesson your'll never forget in your next world! ... And in your own hypocrisy, you forget to condemn Abagworo boasting openly here to attack anyone again Buhari, right?

bremmery:
Imagine calling a whole president of your country an animal, that is not criticism. It is a pure barbarian talk. It is an act of indecency.

But you called GEJ all sorts of unprintable names when he was the president right?... You are suffering form acute hypocrisy and the earlier you begin to find cure to it, the better for you.

[quote author=Abagworo post=44338345][/quote]What are you gonna do? Attack those against Buhari? .. I laugh you .. You are coward and if you think you have gut, lets meet at Genesis fast food at Woji road, PH by 4pm this evening.. Coward!

If Buhari is not an animal, what is he?... The same APC calling GEJ Buffon is here wailing like a rabid dog.. Buhari is an animal.. Fact!

EZENDDIGBO:
