Your past and present Govs are from the West your past and present Ministers are from the North west Your past and present legislators are from North East your ex-President and his uncouth garrulous wife are from North Central. Your ex- and present militants are from Sambisa Forest If they are from those areas, the world will agree with you that West and the North underdeveloped Niger Delta. Meanwhile, the world knows 1. You collect monthly FAAC allocation 2. You collect monthly JAAC allocation. 3. You collect monthly 13% derivation 4. IOCs have CSRs and community projects 5. Amnesty programme for your legalized criminals 6. Min of Niger Delta 7. NDDC - a regional Govt on its own. Show us what you have achieved with all that 1st. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

Nice write up but the sad story is that very many people from this region has sold their sense of patriotic reasoning for a pot of soup like Esau, I come across them intermittently, some for the fact that the have one job away from the region forget where they are coming. Again the writer give's hope that there still people from this region with this disposition. thank your for your effort to educate us 8 Likes |

This is the reason they chant one Nigeria They can die for one Nigeria All the multinational oil companies have their head offices in SW Lagos They major recruitments are done in Lagos While the labourers and drivers and cooks are reserved for the indigenes The northerners are the main owners of the oil blocks Tell me why the west and north will not be proponents of one Nigeria 8 Likes 2 Shares |

Resource Control is all we need. Forget these ministries and agencies. Imagine if we were alone without other parasites who would take loan just for oil windfall to pay it back for them. I am so happy at what is happening in osun. Oil punished Aregbe so well. While the rest of the country was producing these cash crops Niger delta was not left out. We had rubber trees and lumbering of mahogany to Europe was there. Sapele was like Lagos in the 80s and there was a functional sea port. Niger delta have what it takes to be her own country. I remember when the oil price crashed, you need to see the way they were shouting Niger delta can even go self, after all the price of oil is worthless. They see us as fools and people who loves violence. Fifty years of oil exploration nothing to show for it. Our once beautiful creeks polluted. I remember while growing up, fishes and prawns were very easy to catch. Today there are no more fishes. The maritime university must be reopened because I love to see my people educated. 2 Likes 1 Share |

No historical sources. No dates . Nothing You will never be allowed to use beer parlour lies to rewrite history These were Awo's positions on true federalism. Awo on Federalism for Multi-National Country "I predict that every multi-lingual or multi-national country with a unitary constitution must either eventually have a federal constitution based on the principles which J have enunciated, or disintegrate, or be perennially afflicted with disharmony and instability." Awo on Human Diversity and Political Autonomy "You can unite but can never succeed in unifying peoples whom language has set distinctly apart from one another; the more educated a linguistic. group becomes, the stronger it waxes in its bids for political self-determination and autonomy, unless it happens to be the dominant group." - Thoughts on the Nigerian Constitution, 1966. Awo On Creation of More States for Minorities "The creation of the Mid- West State will be the beginning of a journey which may be short or long but which will irresistibly bring Nigeria to the goal of true federalism and more States, and of individual freedom and happiness for all our people." - Awolowo and Nigerian Federalism, 1988. Awo on Population As Basis Of Sharing Revenue "In a country where the accuracy of the census figures is so much in acrimonious dispute, it is gross and aggravating provocation to urge that population should be used as a basis of sharing what belongs to others who are much fewer in number." -The Strategy and Tactics of the People's Republic of Nigeria, 1970 Awo on State Police "Under my proposals, Police is a residual subject, because the immediate problem of maintaining law and order can only be properly and more effectively tackled by the State Government." - The Strategy and Tactics of the Peoples' Republic of Nigeria, 1970. Awo on the Nigerian Federation "Nigeria is not a nation. It is a mere geographical expression. The word Nigerian is merely a distinctive appellation to distinguish those who live within the boundaries of Nigeria from those who do not". - Path To Nigerian Freedom, 1947 Awo On Nigeria As Created By The British "It is incontestable that the British not only made Nigeria, but also hand it to us whole on their surrender of power. But the Nigeria, which they handed over to us, had in it the forces of its own disintegration. It is up to contemporary Nigerian leaders to neutralize these forces, preserve the Nigerian inheritance, and make all our people free, forward-looking and prosperous. " - The Peoples' Republic, 1968. Awo On Future Conflicts "The seed for a future minority problem in the North has been sown by the Government. It will grow with growing political consciousness on the part of those who settle permanently in the North." - Path to Nigerian Freedom. 1947 Awo on an Ijaw Presidency of Nigeria "I look forward to the day - not in the far distant future - when an Ijaw would be President of our Republic, and a Birom his Vice or vice versa." - Speech at the UPN's First Campaign (1978): In Voice of Wisdom (1981) 16 Likes 6 Shares |

9jasite:u can always type your articles as expected. I have been noticing you all this while always cause tribal fight amongg the ethnic groups in Nigeria. Am waiting for you when you will write abou Ipob agitation of Biafra. From your write up will the resource control help them too? You can never type good articles to improve the people of Nigeria but always caused tribal war on nairaland. Even your website is trash. No adsense nothing. You better get something doing. You are a tribalistic. Stop this your tribal arties. Infact it shows you are not improving at all. No evidence of ypur articles but always caused tribal war among the ethnic groups. You are sighted but not going too far. 8 Likes 1 Share |

Ekinematics:the problem I have with nitwits shouting resource control is that we all know the northerner n westerner are looting the common wealth of the Niger Delta. They abrogate power to themselves but tell me why it is this same people you argue must liberate you ? Why can't Jonathan increase derivation to 50%. The Yoruba u antagonize gave you 13% derivation. What did Jonathan give n why must Buhari be the one to grant resource control when Jonathan can not ? Why can't Jonathan from a tribe that own the resource of the NigerDelta declare resource control for the region? 6 Likes |
Re: fdgvb by 9jasite: 10:33am On Jan 17, 2017 |
Johnnyessence: Pls Correct the above mistakes. To the topic, the issues raised by the article cannot be wished away by throwing tantrums. The fact of the matter remains that the Niger Delta region did not benefit from the Groundnut or Cocoa slush funds. This is factual and verifiable. The question is why is the entire nation benefitting from crude Oil that should be used by the region to catch up with the rest of the nation. On Biafra and IPOB, expect an article soon, thanks. Now that is how civilized persons discuss. 1 Like |
