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.

You knew all of this but couldn't drum resource control into Ebele's hear. I presume he was too lilly-livered to grant what his region desire but you expect the aboki to grant what your beloveth son could not grant. Does Buhari look like your Messiah ?

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)

The late sage, Awolowo has been dead a while now and you numbskulls still see fit to blame him for your current woes despite the fact that since 1999 till date, your governors and leaders have received billions of dollars to develop your area.

You are all pathetic. Keep on crying.

Its true that he is gone and it's also true that his legacy still lives on. And one of those legacies is the topic for discussion

His legacy is the reason the western part of this country is way ahead other regions.

Blaming him for the misappropriation of funds being carried out by South-south leaders decades after his death is not fair.

no one dictated how Cocoa funds should be used ....neither should you vice versa on oil

Super1Star:
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.

Plus looting by Alams, GEJ, Ibori, Odili, Akpabio and so on...




btw, The region now known as the Niger Delta region was in the Mid-west and Eastern region respectively.


How come this silly write up excluded the Eastern region from your title since the region used to be part of SW and SE?

lol so Awolowo underdeveloped Bayelsa, Ahoada, Eket, Okrika etc that were never for once under his control?
Three gbosa for you, OP.

You people always magically find a way to make the Yorubas the cause of your problems.

But what can one expect with every Tom, dick and Harry now taking the positions on website managers online.
More Operation blame Yorubas daily from nitwits who don't even know their own history.

The entire SS was with PDP for good 16 years and even produced a president, why can't they facilitate resource control?.
Oh you are sad that Yoruba are no longer playing opposition, carrying other people matter for head like gala?.
Your chop one chop 2 any government in power leaders, are already jumping boats into APC while your so called freedom fighters are busy fighting for their stomachs.
The only way "wey sure pass for you now, na to join your brothers in the creek or join your elders as boi boi in APC.

We yoruba muslims believe Oghene is an IPob.

sanandreas:
If many Niger Deltans see the yearly report of NEITI . Billions of dollars from crude and earnings. Some flow stations can produce up to 60,000 bpd and that is about Ghana's total production in a day. The gas reserves in Niger delta can power the whole of Africa for a century and more are still being discovered.

We want resource control.

Even if you get resource control today, we yoruba muslims support the fulani to plan a coup and cancel by fiat. We in osun need the oil.

9jasite:

Do you realise that the parliamentary form of government Nigeria operated in those days is very different from the presidential system we are running now?

KidsNEXTdoor:
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

Guy, when are you going to get tired of dishing out these petty lies? The Northerners control the oil blocks, abi? So where is Alabo Lulu-Briggs from? He owns Moni Pulo, one of the foremost indigenous oil exploration companies.

Where is Uduimo Itsueli of Dubri Oil from? He has been involved in oil production from the early' 90s.

Where is Ambrose Ojiakor of Seplat Petroleum from?

Dan Etete, Abacha’s oil minister is the owner of Malabu Oil & Gas Company, which has OPL 245? Is he from the North, too?

Do his oil wells exceed those owned by Dr. Azudialu- Obiejesi of Neconde Energy which produces about 37,000 barrels of oil per day?

To achieve One Nigeria, we still have a long way to go.

what western part of Nigeria is better? almost all companies are in Lagos because of the nation's sea port and major airport domiciled there due to selfish and wicked political reasons of the presidency .let other regions have same previlage and see equal development.

Is that why the entire southwest is home to all Nigerian tribes?

I'll bet all you know about the sw is what you read online here.

Don't get me wrong. There's a lot to be desired concerning development of all states in Nigeria, but there's a reason a certain ex-president called the southwestern part of this country as the most sophisticated.

That was an informed statement.

Ok, so there are no sea ports or airports in other parts of the country? Where is Onne port located? And Calabar port? Are they in Lagos too?

Port-Harcourt sea port is located where? On the outskirts of Lagos, right? Enugu International Airport is in which part of the country? is it Lagos? And Port-Harcourt International Airport is also in the western part of Nigeria,. not so??

kettle84:

For every 1 Yoruba person in the Southeast, there are about ten thousand Igbo in the southwest. And I'm being very modest with my estimates.

that is because the Igbo ethnic nationality is highly populous compared to other ethnic groups that is why Nigeria don't won't to include ethnicity when conducting census. we are spread worldwide and have strong presence everywhere in the world.it is our God given strength.

in relative terms ke? the way you misuse grammar in relation to reality is mind bugging.you need to be objective in your outlook.
SW Nigeria shares the same features of a failed state with other parts of Nigeria, lack of stable power supply, portable water,skyrocket unemployment rate,failed educational system, incessant road mishap leading to thousands of deaths yearly, housing and health care collapse, high crime rate,electoral fraud, cyber criminality, and many more.
