What does this mean?


What is wrong with a people demanding 100% control of their own resources? What is wrong with True Federalism and why can't we practice it in Nigeria? Why should other states control their own solid minerals and natural resources and Niger Delta can't control our own oil.

What is wrong in saying we cannot continue feeding the whole nation? Why should Hausa/Fulani whose only ambition in life is to over populate Nigeria get anything from our oil wealth when they contribute nothing to our treasury?

Our leaders have been corrupt but so is every leader in Nigeria. Moreover Nigeria has stolen more from us than our leaders can ever steal. If the ND had been given "special status" as is rightly deserved as the bedrock of this nation, more development would've been here.

Stop that layman's theory of "let us hold our leaders accountable". What about all the oil blocks owned by Northerners, are our leaders responsible for that as well?

13% of that money went to the Niger Delta alone
And they got atleast another 20% of that money.. In terms of allocation, NDDC and ministry of Niger Delta
That's 33% of the total oil revenue since 1999 to 2016 that's will give u over 15 trillion naira for the Niger Delta... Given to the leaders of the region and yet nothing or little to show for it
Instead of the so called intelligent youths who school in eastern Europe to ask there youths for accountability the are looking for who to blame
Lagos State generate more than 800bn a year... Yet how much do they receive?

After I visited Jigawa year back... My eyes opened... If lamido could achieve those things then. .. we southerns have no one to blame but our leaders

The Dubai you are talking about families own oil well and not oligarchs and political friends. We want resource control

Legitbaba:


U need to read more about this 13% stuff you are talking about, it doesn't sound as sweet as u make it seem...for instance if the budgeted oil benchmark is $40 per barrel, no matter the rise of oil price ,the oil producing states still gets just 13% of what they produce in the budgeted benchmark ($40) the rest goes to d excess crude account...I hope you know all this before making ur assumption...

enyice:







When did the 13% derivation came into effect? 1999?
Or Niger Delta Militancy started in 1999?


Partisanship most times obstructs objectivity,
Your analysis, though your opinion is outrightly false and should be relegated to the trash can.



Do have a nice day Mr Vitalis.

I guess we should also blame our leaders for lack of electricity, delapitated federal roads, bad health care, rotten federal institutions, etc

I tot some said oil was not relevant again Hypocrites

sanandreas:
you are not a Niger deltan stop been an interloper. Remember the terrain is different. Jigawa u mentioned is among the parasitic state.

mrvitalis:

I am not a Niger Deltan.. . I have had that enough
Bayelsa recives far more than Jigawa... Yet no airport and no access roads... The terrian may increase cost by max 100%. .. And bayelsa receive more than 300% what Jigawa did for the last 16 years
So no excuse bro

sanandreas:
But they just earned money to run the economy. What does Jigawa contribute to the national treasury? Most of the northern state contribute less than 3billion annually but yet receive 60 billion. It is not by force to like us. Moreover I thought I would see contribution of milk crude from herdsmen but yet zero contribution. Understand the fact that we would progress even without oil. We are blessed in all ramifications.

kunle75:


You are a small mind...........which terrain are you talking about that such huge amount as allocated in the past could not have catered for?

Stop this nonsense jorr

We were great in agriculture, our exchange rate was impressive, corruption and impunity wasn't a culture, we were a producing country not just a consuming one...the list goes on.

The fact that they mismanage their own money is none of your business, it's their money, the problem with Nigerians is that they follow the Naira income, My brother follow the Dollar income, Lagos economy is being powered by Niger Delta Oil production, 95% of Nigeria's foreign income is from Oil&gas, the gas powers 80% of Nigerian electricity generation Companies like Shell can invest $7bn on 1 project, tell me which area in Nigerian Economy that a foreign private firm has invested that any, Look @ the ports, is it naira U use to import? Look @ the banks? How will they raise foreign capital when U dont have a foreign exchange earner in your country, Do U think Foreign investors will loan U? If Niger Delta was a country on its own, they would be living like the Kuwaitis, the Emiratis, Saudis, people from other parts will rushing to find work there because it has 37bn barrels of oil and 180trn feet of gas. They don't need anybody to help, they can deal the oil companies direct,

Wow! That was impressive, I wonder what went wrong. Do u have an idea?

You sound like the Britons who never saw the current EU deal before voting for Brexit, I understand most of you are kids but it doesn't make any sense being a national comedian on a Monday morning, believe me.
