When Akwa Ibom through former Governor Attah took the fight for resource control to Aso Rock, how many people in Nigeria supported the fight then? Now NDA want us instead to support its blowing up facilities that are supposed to better our lives. how myopic. imagine if the issue of resource control was resolved then, would NDA have any idiotic need to blow up facilities to draw attention now? |

omonnakoda: Are you sure that the SS and SE did not support resource control at the last National Confab? The bulk of violence you see in Nigeria has everything to do with the political structure of the country and resource control of course. The injustice and inequity are too much. Nigerians have to be sincere to themselves in order to bring about peace. Every region is important and must be given a sense of belonging. Nigeria's problems cannot be solved with military might. We need a president that understands these points. Unfortunately we have a tribalist and tyrant as president who erroneously thinks that he and his ethnic group own Nigeria because he is president. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians. And which intelligent leader would openly disrespect the region that provides the country the bulk of its revenue? 1 Like |

SleekAboki: I have lived in the North West and the South South, their leaders aint the same. Give an average Hausa politician N1billion, the crowd you will see in his house will be unbelievable. He will build houses for his people, bore hole and roads. On daily basis, he will be giving cash assistance to friends, family, villagers and even strangers. Give the same amount to a Bayelsan politician and he will hire thugs to keep people away from him while he sits on the entire money. I know it is more expensive to build roads in the south but if the southern leaders are taken to the north, they wont build what the northern leaders are doing for themselves and their people. 2 Likes |

The truth is we can never have peace without a measure of justice and equity, we need to see more probity and accountability in government, we need to see more direct subsidies in agricultural produce and basic utilities to affect the common man, not this phoney oil subsidy scheme that enriches only a few. The people are hungry and angry, the youths need money-too much oppression. Governors, pastor's, politicians and some useless big men all oppressing the youths with ill gotten wealth. In naija if you don't have money, even ur pride will suffer. Instead of you punters to be blaming the rampaging youths,its better we work for an equitable system,where every decent citizen feel a part of, otherwise kill these set,another hungry bunch will take their place. |

adanny01:The solution to all these is regionalism.Let each region develop at it's pace with it's resources.This current structure as practiced breeds laziness and corruption. |
Re: Four Power Plants Shut After Militants’ Attacks by adanny01(m): 8:42am On May 10, 2016 |
SleekAboki: It makes no sense. That would further make the rich richer and the poor even poorer. It is oil that made us lazy not the sharing of resources. |

[b]Please let the boys bomb more and more until Yoruba and Hausa common sense tell them that it's time to export cocoa and groundnut , until justice is done, our fathers told us that b4 now that federal government use to collect 50% from mineral resources while those who get the resources will also get 50% but as soon as oil was discover in the Niger Delter and the money from oil was found to be greater than all the resources from north and west Hausa and Yoruba came together and change the laws to cheat us, they made a new law that everything belong to the federal government, the Niger Delter people didn't have power to do anything, when they couldn't endure the injustice again they fought Abasenjo government to change the law but Obasenjo gave them only 1% they fought again and he gave them 13%. we all know that Hausa and Yoruba will never allow this type of injustice in their land but they enjoy doing it to others people, we know that a lot of illegal mining is going on in the north where solid mineral are being mine and sold to the chines and no body is doing anything. my advice is let the boy bomb more and more until yoruba and hausa start exporting cocoa and groundnut, if the bombing pain Yoruba and Hausa let them develop their own resources and stop depending in us, Niger Delter don't have the number require in the national assembly or senate to change the law and do justice and no parasite will just let it host go like that, the only solution is bombing, don't listen to the parasite because they don't have any good intention for Niger Delter, they are the devil they are coming to steal, kill and destroy, please bomb bomb bomb bomb, if you want to go through voting to change the law they will never support you, so bomb more and more my boys, we can never have peace without a measure of justice and equity that is the truth the parasite will never tell you, [/b] 1 Like |

Why did the NDA not made their request when gej was president. They just realize ND is been marginalize when gej lost the 2015 election. Who is fooling who in this country. This is purely politics I won't be surprise if gej is behind all this. As revenge for how Nigerians voted him out. Am also sure tompolo is behind this. 1 Like |

SleekAboki: When Nigeria only had pyramids of groudnut and cocoa for foreign exchange, was it only the farmers or their regions that benefited? What you should be asking for is diversification not greedy regional control which will make one region lazy and the others hardworking. |

adanny01:Check history and cross check facts and you appreciate the wonders Awolowo did with cocoa proceeds to develop western region. Why can't the Niger Delta be allowed to self develop it's territory using her resources? See regionalism as a forced approach to diversification. Regionalism breeds healthy competitiveness and not laziness as currently being witnessed. |
