Distance From Daura To Ogoniland by AbdulAdam56(m): 7:11am On Aug 08, 2015 |
The distance from Daura Emirate in Katsina State to Ogoniland in Rivers State is well over 4,700 kilometres. Daura is in South-West geopolitical zone while Ogoniland is in South-South geopolitical zone. One must traverse through North- Central and South-East geopolitical zones before one can get to South-South geopolitical zone. It will take an aeroplane close to three hours before one can get to Port Harcourt airport from Katsina airport. Daura is situated in North-Western part of Nigeria and is 34 kilometres to Niger Republic through Kwangolam/Maimujiya Nigeria-Niger border. Daura is a border town to another country in West Africa. President Muhammadu Buhari is a native of Daura town. Otuoke is in Bayelsa State in the South-South geopolitical zone with Ogoniland in Rivers State. Otuoke is not more than 13 kilometres to Ogoniland. Ogoniland and Otuoke were both in the same Rivers State before the creation of more states which made Otuoke to fortunately or unfortunately fall in Bayelsa State in the same South-South geopolitical zone. A well fed man can trek from Otuoke to Ogoniland without resting more than two times along the way. If an aeroplane should fly from Otuoke to Ogoniland, it may not take up to seven minutes to reach to its destination. Otuoke and Ogoniland almost speaks the same language because they are brothers and neighbours. Former President Goodluck Jonathan is a native of Otuoke village (village because he still left it as a village after being a president for more than six years). Ogoniland has problems of oil spillage since the time of Late General Sani Abacha as the then military head of state when the issue of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) were furious which led to the killing of Ogoni nine including the late Ken Saro Wiwa. Shonekan who is from Southern part of the country could not solve the problem of oil spillage which destroys aquatic animal and sea foods, plantations and vegetation, food and cash crops and land domestic animals. Abdulsalami Abubakar could not do it. Obasanjo who is a Southerner could not do it. Late Shehu Musa YarA'dua could not do it. Goodluck Jonathan who is almost a native of Ogoniland could not do it and his wife is also a native of Rivers State which houses Ogoniland as one of the state's communities (dog-eat-dog). Immediately after his swearing-in, President Muhammadu Buhari in less than 100 days in office gave a direct order for the oil spillage to be handled and cleaned off the coasts and rivers and seas of Ogoniland. What a man who is a neighbour to his brother could not do is what a man who live well over 4,700 kilometres apart is doing and doing it with pride as if it is a project in his home town. It takes a principled man to be the lover of all persons. Buhari is a principled man and he is loved by all persons in Nigeria. My brothers and sisters from Ogoniland, welcome to the world of good water, good habitat, good vegetation and plantation, potable water and non-disease infected animals and foods. Welcome to the home you so much loved which your brother Goodluck Jonathan could not fix for you but which a Fulani man is doing for you with love and care. Surely this does not stop the haters to keep calling President Muhammadu Buhari all sorts of bad names but I trust him, he will always give deaf ears to ridicules and will continue doing good for the comfort of Nigerian people devoid of favouritism or nepotism. Enjoy with the rest of Nigerians in good health and clean environment which is made possible to you by President Muhammadu Buhari. Nigeria is President Muhammadu Buhari's one and only constituency. May President Muhammadu Buhari live long. 2 Likes |

Before you start praising Buhari for the good work which he has not yet done, it is important to analyse what is on the ground. This man Buhari has ruled before and accomplished nothing.My personal opinion is that Buhari has nothing to offer. Even his first 100 days in office is turning out to be a joke. He is only there to fulfil the norths 'born to rule' agender. Isn't it ironic that Buhari who has been jumping up and down to become president of Nigeria has not yet been able to tell Nigerians one single policy his Government has for the people? Buhari should have stayed back in Daura to take care of his Cattle instead of coming back to Government |

North own the south south, hence the constant rant SS is not this and SS is not that. Buhari is only cleaning his property. |

Your write up is very touching. Even GEJ's associates from Ogoniland would have been very disappointed with GEJ whom they see as their brother. I learned the UNEP report to clean up Ogoniland was submitted since 2011. More appreciation to PMB for his quick implementation of the report even before 100 days in office. |
