asuustrike2009:The cult wars between Asari Dokubo and Ateke Tom and other cults wars chased most companies out of Port Harcourt. The brought their wars to the streets of Port harcourt. This is the same scenario playing out in most of the Niger Delta,they just want fast money to build mansions,buy luxury cars and spend it on booze and women. They are not looking for work or development. 2 Likes |

ndcide:Majority of the fields in production are offshore that is why,so the militants cannot easily get access to Bonga,EA field and Agbami that is why. Most oil majors divested from onshore fields so they don't have to deal with the disruptions and extortion from Elders and youths in the community. 2 Likes 1 Share |

asuustrike2009:A nairalander experience in the South West and in the Niger Delta. sniperr007: Sharap there! U jus tlk based on what u read online. R there not oil workers in ND? If these companies r based there, d crime rate in those towns will reduce as there will b more opportunities for both skilled & unskilled What crime rate would reduce?? Are you for real? shocked Ok, let me share a true life experience with you. Years ago, a telecoms infrastructure company I used to work for, was contracted to install Base Transceiver Sites (BTS) for a multinational GSM operator. The sites were located in Lagos, Ondo, Rivers and Bayelsa states. The logistics company was duly notified to deliver the telecoms equipment to each of the sites in these respective states, and hand them over to our security guys over there. Our engineers & project teams would then go from one location to the next, to install & commission these sites. Oya, let me share the progress report with you: In Lagos, a stipend of =N=9,000 to =N=15,000 per site was paid to a few omo oniles and we were granted right of way to commence & conclude our projects at each site. In fact, some of them volunteered to provide extra security for us and escort our teams daily, as long as the project lasted. We were able to finish up in record time, without loss of man hours or equipment. smiley In Ondo state, the communities where the project sites were located, were welcoming, hospitable and approachable. The best pounded yam and bush meat I ever ate that year, was provided free of charge by the indigenes of that community. cool At the end of the project, the traditional ruler was given a mobile phone courtesy of our office and one month of free calls, limited to a specific amount. He offered to give our Team Lead (an Engineer), a traditional title, which the guy respectfully declined. Again, all our sites in that state were installed without any hitches. wink Rivers/Bayelsa was where our staff had their baptism of fire. The telecoms equipment delivered to site was not just stolen, the site was vandalized, and one of the security guards was killed by the local militants. As our engineers arrived on site, they were beaten, overpowered and 2 of them were kidnapped. Those who were lucky to escape, went to report the incident at the nearest police station. Guess what the policemen on duty said? "Na who send una go dat side? We sef, no dey go near dat place!" shocked They refused to follow us to site and arrest the perpetrators. Needless to say, we abandoned our luggage, vehicle and few remaining tools left at that site, then took the next commercial bus back to Lagos. The loss incurred on that project was huge, and we declined any further offers to go back to that region to install any new BTS sites, for the rest of the year. When we mobilised back to that site, we went back with a heavy detachment of SARS and mobile police snipers. Na who wan die? Out of 11 sites planned for that Niger-Delta region during that period, we were only able to complete 2 sites. The rest has not been completed as we speak, due to the unrest in that locality. https://www.nairaland.com/3781367/reps-reject-oil-firms-relocation/7 1 Like 1 Share |

Eddicated:I can tell you're one of the restive Niger Delta youths that chased the oil companies away and made them flee to Lagos or Abuja.Why don't you dispute any of the points I made like a civilized human being,instead of responding like a tout. The people that don't want progress in the Niger Delta are your thieving Governors like Odili,Ibori,Alameishegha,Igbenideion,Uduaghan,Amaechi,Attah,Akpabio that looted billions of dollars and your elders and youths that will rather collect money than accept infrastructure developments. 1 Like |

IAMDUTCHBRAH: I am shocked by the positions taken by educated youths of the nigerdelta like Tonyebarcanista. They should be fighting for the education of the children and the youth, provision of basic infrastructure like clean portable water,good hospitals, good roads and making sure the oil companies adhere to best environmental standards in their oil exploration and exploitation practices, but instead they are more interested in just collecting money from the government (coined as anmesty) and from the oil companies. When will the Nigerdelta produce a Ken Saro-Wiwa again? If the Nigerdelta have just 5 Ken Saro-Wiwas, who are not interested in collecting stipends from the oil companies, the Nigerdelta would be the road to development. The Nigerdelta youths first chased the oil companies out of the region;
then a few months later threaten them again to relocate back to the Nigerdelta;
Does these things make any sense at all? 2 Likes 1 Share |

wirinet:Dealing with the Niger Delta militant youth leaders such as Tompolo,Ateke Tom and Asari Dokubo is not easy. They are only interested in extorting money from oil companies and the Federal goverment through the amnesty program. What did Asari Dokubo do with the money he has received over the years?He went to build a Secondary school and University in Benin Republic. Tompolo who is currently wanted and has a sprawling mansion in my estate. What did he do with his own money,he bought a private jet and the N13 billion he received on the behalf of the land the Federal goverment bought from the community of Okorenko to establish a University in the community he embezzled the money. EFCC currently has a court order to freeze all his accounts. The Niger Delta youths are bi-polar. They threatened all the oil companies to leave in 2016 by a certain deadline or risk attack of their staff and installations and now in 2017 they are threatening the oil companies to come back. They are just a bunch of lunatics!No business wants to have any dealings with them. That is why most of the oil majors sold their onshore assets and relocated most of their offices to Lagos or Abuja. 1 Like |

Don't mind the IPOB or some illiterate Ijaw youths. They say if the region is not safe enough for the IOC relocation then it shouldn't be safe for for drilling and production but they forget most of the platforms are Offshore which sometimes maybe difficult for the militants to easily reach with speedboats. The platforms offshore are heavily guarded by the army and Navy. The few white men in the Niger delta just work on a supervisory role and are heavily guarded by the Army. If they relocate their HQ back how many of them do the Army want to guard. The white men and women walk all around Lagos without security and nobody is harassing or kidnapping them. We all saw a documentary on Nairaland where a militant leader was interviewed by a white man who had the strong mind to walk into their camps, the militant leader said kidnapping a white man especially Americans,British and French is very profitable is that where you want them to relocate to? Or the numerous Sea pirates in the Niger delta along the gulf of Guinea hijacking vessels all the time. Besides the only tax the LASG collect is the income tax on the staffs of the IOC,the coperate tax is paid to the FG and there is no CSR provided to any community in Lagos all the Social responsibilites is given to the ND communities. I stand by Justice and equity and these Oil coys should be in the Niger delta but until the youths, militants and elders embrace peace, am sorry nothing the govt tells them will make them come back to the ND. 1 Like |

When it comes to the interest of north, everyone wants fairness to be the rule. When it involves SE or SS, all sorts of silly arguements without consideration for fairness and justice are put forward. That is precisely why nigeria is a zoo. 1 Like |

IAMDUTCHBRAH:Some of those vessels along the Niger delta part of the gulf of Guinea don't even have anything to do with Nigeria, just passing through to another country along that coast, they get hijacked by Militants/sea pirates.They kidnap the white men and demand ransome.Is that the place where Tonye wants these people to relocate back to? This is not even about Injustice to the region anymore, it has now turned to profitable business for these militants even if the FG gives them resource control these vices can never end in the Niger delta. 1 Like |
