You personalized your response to me bro ( I am not an avenger and by God's grace should I chose to be selfish will never have a reason to agitate, but then I am one lucky mate out of millions), so i will assume my response on a personal note too.Which part of this country hasn't had her leaders loot their commonwealth. For you to say the agitations are not justifiable shows you lack empathy. The question should be what has Nigeria done with 87% given to her by the Niger Delta, has your state governors turned your land into an Eldorado?
The blame transcends to many fronts, everyone has a share of the blame to take (locals, politicians, federal iocs Britain etc) But restructuring should be a starting point not an end in itself.

What is the reason for agitation? You agitate for oil your fathers did not put in the land. Rivers, land, sea and whatever resources found are created by God for a government to control on behalf of citizens. We suppose to be agitating for good governance and not secession. If we have good government and leaders, Nigeria can be better than any of European countries. NDA are not agitating for anything apart fromavenging for Jonathan because he lost election. Think of it, God did not make mistake by putting oil in Niger Delta when, when He puts oil in abundant in Saudi Arabia, a desert full of rocks and mountains.

Shukuakukobambi:


I agree wholeheartedly with all you wrote.

This country is cursed with useless politicians who know the only way their crimes against the populace will continue unchecked is for the centre to continue to be in total control.

There's no way a local politician under a regional system will have this much leverage to act with all impunity. The citizens will demand their rights when power is closer to them.

The difference between the first republic and the 2nd is enough proof that this system will never work.

Sorry for my typos and lack of punctuation, it's baffling when something capable of bringing lasting peace, progress and prosperity becomes a "recurring decimal" from year to year from one government to the next. Bring power closer, make the states become more competitive and watch each region progress. Then let's see the local politician who will sit in peace while everyone around him Is yet to have breakfast. Only by having some small change in the midst of the poor you will feel unsafe not to talk about when people I is you are sitting on their wealth just within their community, they will eat you alive. My community where I come from in delta state we never have reports of anyone usurping what is due the community my brother they will descend on you.
This is the age of enlightenment and people are becoming more political aware of their rights and it's not enough to use the military approach of the last to whip them into line. If that approach had worked we will not be here today.
On a serious note I get scared seeing the angry look on people's faces when I drive around town now you can only "ball" when far away and lie low at home, how much more politicians.

frehage:


Keep pretending you don't know what they are demanding.

Let me remind you: POLITICAL AND FISCAL AUTONOMY.

That's all.

do not mind these northerners they dont hav retentive memory that y ,,,the juju of bubu is still in thier mind,,, they will soon know that we are ready 4them,,, free delta simple

For the former your line of reasoning stems from the law made by a decrees initiated by a wicked fellow in khaki uniform, if the resources are not a blessing to the people on whose lands it is found then it becomes a curse and the people will have to do something about it (as they are currently doing).
As per the latter you are getting it all wrong, as I believe will become clear to all in the coming days that the avengers are nothing like has been seen before, I see that already and wonder why those in government haven't seen it as different.
If these boys wanted peanuts they would not have gone this extent, right now I see a group that has crossed the Rubicon and must go all out against "pompey".

owanedo:
my guy, the people who are paying dearly for it are those contract staff and casual staff who are mainly from ND axis that will be jobless, those civil servants who won't get their salaries eg balyesa, ekiti ondo etc on strike right now. the ND university that would be sold off or closed down permanently as a result of the fact that balyesa is broke. oil or no oil the political class will always smile to the bank, Apc will complete there 4years in power, Lagos will continue to be a state in a state. let them keep bombing. oya boooooomb!!!!

Continue lying to yourself.

The oil blocks and NNPC are controlled by who?

The IOC's are dominated by who?

87% of oil revenues are hijacked by who?

The TRUTH doesn't hurt, you know.

mrvitalis:
Ok that's good
More of that, already all our brothers who are in NDU have been at home, schools are on strike in Bayelsa, Bayelsa government is too broke to pay workers, and this is the major state of the ijaws.. ..... . The people you are fighting for??

Just one question.... How many northern states are not paying their workers
How many NIGER DELTA STATES are oweing??
Its so clear who really gets the oil revenue and who will suffer more if the oil stops following

The North u hate so much can supply kaduna refinery with oil from Niger


For me and my family, we will surely Survive

NIGER DELTA AND
ASSOCIATED yeye
TALk I hear this often this days;
A)We gave them
NDDC,what did they do
with the money
B)we gave them 13%
derivation,what did they
do with the money
C)Their son was in power
for 5 years (6 years if you
are mathematically
challenged), what did he
do
A
The enacting of NDDC
act just recently by OBJ
regime was actually an
admittance of our
inhumanity to the region
that lay the golden
egg,Nigeria have been
drilling oil in the Niger
Delta since late 50's and
we only realised just
recently that an agency is
needed to address
decades of being
abandoned by successive
regimes who probably
think that Niger Delta is a
conquered territory
where resources are
harvested.
what agency did federal
government established
before the massive
development wrought in
Abuja,Kano,Lagos and
other cities with mostly
oil money? why do we
need an agency like
NDDC or other funny
and conduit pipe scheme
before we can give good
schools,good roads,good
hospitals,good
environment,good
food,good skills and good
jobs to the region that
have fed our lazy elites
and governments for
decades.
An elites and
governments that have
sacrificed our potentials
to export rice,groundnut,
hides and skin,beef,palm
fruits,shoes,cloths,belts
and so on at the alter of
fixation on the Niger
Delta oil field?
why do we need an
agency that will always
be hijacked by politicians
to give back to a Niger
Delta that have bore our
financial burden all this
long
NDDC is not a thing to
brag about,stop fanning
yourself for giving Niger
Delta NDDC, we only
admitted our wickedness
and neglect on them by
that agency.............more
annoying is that the
agency is even at the
mercy of politicians that
created the mess in the
first place.
B
I think it's actually idiotic
that we ask,what are they
doing with the 13%
derivation we gave
them?, you gave
them? who is giving
who,the 13% is even a
recent structure.........we
should first answer what
we have done with the 83
%(formerly 100%) they
gave us over decades. if
we can't answer this,we
have no moral ground to
pose that question.
C
Because I am not foolish,I
understood that GEJ'S 5
years reign can never fix
over 50 years of
exploitation of Niger
Delta.......infact,if we had
elected GEJ as president
to focus only on Niger
Delta,it wouldn't be
enough......in any case,GEJ
came as a gentle man
attempting to please
other folks other than his
people,(maybe he had a
2nd term plan) in the real
sense though,you are not
actually elected to focus
on your people but the
script and expectations
are different in Nigeria.
My point really is,it is sad
when people want to
divert attention from the
grave injustice going on in
Niger Delta when they
babble things like, "they
have NDDC,they have
13% derivation,their
leaders are corrupt and
all that.
The question remains,
all the federal presence
we have in
Kano,Abuja,Lagos,Enugu
and others.......na their
leaders dey build am?
NB: The money you
"dash" to militants is not
development of Niger
Delta,it is the BILLIONS
you must spend for not
investing MILLIONS in
human capital
development in the Niger
Delta for decades of oil
exploration in that region.

frehage:


Then you are from the non oil producing parts and so don't or can understand nor feel what they are feeling.

GEJ was expected to correct some of the anomalies in the region in his second term. But they ganged up against him and overthrew him.

The Senate is controlled by the unitarist regions of the country.

So what can you propose as solutions in this circumstance?

If it was so dear to his people he would have ensures be did it in his first year in office

At least Initiate the process at the national assembly then let's see who will reject it

No body ganged up against Jonathan..... If it was a gang up it would have been easier in 2011....


My question remains this,
Niger Delta have 13% of all oil sales
Take lion shares in oil revenue
Have NDDC
Ministry if Niger Delta

Have can we show for it

This not to mention the money oil companies pump into this communities

Honestly having experienced working in some of your communities in the Niger Delta, I feel pity for those of you that are earning good living doing honest work. Like you said, how do you flex while surrounded by guys who can't afford a bottle of beer?

This is the grouse I have with GEJ. Why on earth did he not do something lasting in the ND despite the luck of selling oil for so much and being a son of the soil? Nothing stopped a small power plant of say 40MW being built in each senatorial zone of the ND to spur economic activities.

He had the chance but he blew it big time.

NDA................Nigerian defense academy ?

Unibenfucker:


Dont mind the 5% bastards they claim they are graduates but if you follow their twitter handle they always make blunders in their written sentence i wonder which university they went to if they are truly graduates Am from Niger Delta but i dont reason like the bastards

Check your own written sentences. Mr. Grammarian.

Amberon11:
This is what we want. who are you to call us liars? you're in no position to do that. the bottom line is that Nigeria must as a matter of necessity adopt a modern system of government (true federalism) instead of the old archaic nonsense that oppresses and neglects the region that lays the golden eggs. Either true federalism or Nigeria ceases to be.

Niger delta boys are not Igbos, they won't give up.

you guys are jokers, you did not want true federalism when GEJ was in power but you suddenly wake up to remember true federalism when PMB assumed power.

As Nigeria was intact under GEJ so Nigeria will also be intact under PMB. Not even boko haram divided Nigeria talk less of NDA.

you can continue to cry until thy kingdom come, PMB will finish his tenure just Like GEJ did.

what they want in the niger delta is not development but cool cash which PMB is not ready to dole out like GEJ did.

farihafaheemah:

Did I move at all with vandalisation you're doing, as far back 2003, you don't have drinkable water in bayelsa and u believe pipe vandalisation is the solution. The discovery of oil is the biggest and genesis of Nigeria problem. Obafemi awolowo university, ABU and nsuka were built with groundnut,cotton and cocoa money. No university can compete with those university I mentioned in terms of structure. With or without oil Nigeria will definitely survive. But think abt consequence of ur action

. which of the universities in south south were built with money generated from cocoa? the truth of the matter is that niger delta is tired of feeding some ingrate people like u. is either true fiscal federalism or sovereignty.

bro pls help me beg am, me too wan join y'all..

lol...its alright...but make she no come vex say space no go do ooo...I really need space for DAT her kingdom

Hmmm...it has been a prayer point sinx oct 1, 1960..to dis day..dat prayer seems unanswered..
Aint u wondered why the typical "e go beta" slogan has remained so for donkey years??

Wow...... That's true

At the end of the day "e go better"

Pinkieblue:


Wow...... That's true

At the end of the day "e go better"

the day dat may never come..

D kind futuristic tense of that phrase ehn..no be here oo..#infinity

The Niger delta youths are the laziest I have ever met.... They want to eat without working.
In Lagos, I pay my labours 1,500 but in Niger Delta, they get 10,000 Naira and they don't work.
If you refuse to pay, they threaten to kidnap and maim you.
The so-called Avengers should be severely dealt with

0ubenji:

the day dat may never come..
D kind futuristic tense of that phrase ehn..no be here oo..#infinity

Even if na 200 years from now that day go come..... Be hopeful

mrvitalis:


U guys can't make ur points without insult, am bigger in reasoning than that

If u think I made a foolish statement challenge it with a point and let me defend it

Avengers that keeps making grammatical error is who ijaws are hoping on

So you expect correct grammar from uneducated people, then you need your brain checked. Will an educated person be bombing pipelines? And please, if you think he made a foolish statement, challenge it with a point and he will defend it, not to come here and insult the Ijaws.

Dear Gone, pls focus on your SW. Niger Delta is ours and we decide when to ask for whatever it is we want.

Do you think the agitation for true federalism started today? You said our oil is now worthless, simply focus on your cocoa or whatever it is that rocks your boats. I don't know why y'all are heartless beings. Steady milking a region dry and devastating their lands in the process.

Well, the era of free money is over. True federalism or Nigeria ceases to be. Bye!

I love dis, abeg bomb everything, just keep bombing, Agip, Shell, Cheveron plus Mobil will some sack workers and I am so sure dat 90percent of workers to be laid off are from ND..
E dey sweet my belle wella, IPOD/PDP arm of NDU for una info PMB till 2023.

One question I would like avengers and its supporters to answer is;

Which region will suffer the most if oil exports becomes zero?
Remember, Lagos survived for over 3 years when obasanjo withheld its local government allocations. Can the nigerdelta and south east survive without allocations from Abuja? Can warri, yenagua and Port Harcourt survive without the oil industry apart from oil allocations.
