MEND have my sympathy....If only I could contribute to their cause

My take on the poverty and deprivation in the Niger Delta is simple: Either 50% derivation or secession.I see no reason why unproductive states should enjoy the largesse of others.This idea of sharing oil money from the Niger Delta to other states is unjust.Until the issue of derivation is resolved, there will continue to be war in the Delta!!!

[agagaraga]

No tyranny of circumstances shall permanently imprison a determind will. the good people of the Niger-Delta shall surely overcome their troubles...

[OneWorldOneDestiny]

Overwhelming majority of Nigerian leaders, since independence, have been uncivilized, unpatriotic, incompetent, rapacious, insensitive, self-centered, and lacked the understanding of investing in the common good of the people. The past and present traitors are cursed for many generations to come. Nigeria would survive, but the offspring of the deceptive rulers shall become everything that is dirty, sickly, and unsightly in the modern world. The spirits in heaven and earth say a voluminous Amen.

"...for centuries, the Niger Delta was literally a backwater of small subsistence communities, but since the discovery of petroleum, the people's environment has been polluted and rendered useless...poverty increased and with it, anger...as soon as the people became angry, they were branded as terrorists, as obstacles in the way of prosperity. And so, they were hunted down." --- Former Ghanaian President, Jerry Rawlings, in Portharcourt. Guardian Newspapers, Tuesday October 14, 2008.

"In retrospect about the problem of the Niger Delta as far back as 1964, I participated in quelling the rebellion of Isaac Boro. Every time there is a problem, we find out, make recommendation. I operated there, I know the place.." ---- Former Nigeria's Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida. Vanguard Newspapers. Monday January 19, 2009.

"..these communities(Niger Delta), due to large-scale corruption, looting of the public treasury by the leadership at the centre remain largely underdeveloped. The poorest of the poor live in these communities,.. their hope dashed, their future traumatised and their children without any future. Soldiers of Northern origin are posted to these territories, as expected, they rape the people..kill them and instill fear in them." -- Liberty Forum, London. Guardian Newspapers. Thursday July 17, 2008.

If oil were to be found in the ethnic majarity regions, definitely there would have been on "ONE NIGERIA". The spirit of Ken Saro-Wiwa shall continue to hunt Nigeria. There will be no peace until the oil producing areas have full control over their GOD giving resources.

princewill's got the pimp hat and the boa going lol. he needs bling now.

[Okoroman]

From the Niger Delta, which the Nigerian government calls "south-south", to the "South eastern" region (the result of DIVIDE, RULE, and CONQUER TACTICS), it is all the same: marginalization, exploitation, political & economic sanction, and disregard for human life and Human Rights.

[Okoroman]

Igbo, Ijaw, Ogoni, Anang Efik, Ibibio should all unite and pull out of evil Nigeria! Nigeria's policy remains Anti-Biafra/Anti-Easterners!

[carolzy1]

Political thieves who have no value and respect for the lives of their people.

The people have tried to use the non violence approach through Ken Saro-Wiwa but he was killed mercilessly and so they have resorted to violence after 50 years 0f waiting for change. We are tired of having so much but yet so little....

[hoomelemele]

well it's a good thing they got rid of those foreign oil companies, things seem much better without them.

[rOaCh2000]

this looks like it'll turn out well

lol

[winkotariah]

This is of very important content to me personally because it show the injustice in the Niger Delta of Nigeria.
