Real sense ~ They should clap for themselves. Well-done guys! You said you are fighting for an injustice against your people for polluting your lands and water as result of pipeline linkages and you are blowing up major oil pipelines to litter the entire lands and water.
You said you are fighting against poverty in Niger Delta and you are reducing to nothing your supposed state allocation from the 13% oil derivations, to the extent that a small oil rich state like Bayelsa,with only 8 local govt can no longer pay its worker's salaries for the past 8 months now.
You said you are fighting against massive unemployment of Niger Delta youths and you are chasing out investors already in your lands by blowing up their infrastructures, and announcing to them the hostility of siting any sort of oil company in your environs.
Crude oil is Located in Niger Delta, but Dangote is building the world's biggest Mega refinery of 650,000 brrl/day capacity in Lagos. I just read few days ago another Igbo man from SE building another 150,000 brrl/day refining capacity in Lagos, and i asked myself, 'Why Lagos again? Why not in any of the Niger Delta oil rich states?'
The answer is very simple. Because these guys are smart investors, they would even prefer to import crude from abroad at international price into their refineries than site their refineries in Niger Delta where criminals called #Militants will incessantly blow up their oil pipelines to disrupt their production. The cost of importing crude oil even from abroad can never equate the cost of constantly repairing their broken oil pipelines.
Please can someone tell me who are now the real enemies destroying Niger Delta? The govt, the Investors or the militants?
