Oil products sabotage will continue in the Niger Delta until what belongs to Caesar is given to Caesar. The Nigerian state has stolen far more from the Niger Delta. The beginning of the beginning will yet again, begin. GEJ or no GEJ.
The
only question we have now is, why are they complaining now? Less oil is
being taken now than in the previous years where almost all Northern
generals had a bunkering vessel in the Niger Delta.
While
the pace of infrastructural development continues across the country,
construction work on the East-West Road has been halted. Abuja continues
to enjoy 24 hour infrastructure upgrade. Billions of naira is beng
doled out to critical projects in Northern Nigeria while the Niger
Delta, which provides the resources that oil the continued existence of
the Niger Delta continues to be ignored.
Fast
rail projects have been awarded in Northern Nigeria and are almost
nearing completion. Yet the Lagos-Calabar rail link is yet to get off
the ground. The Niger Delta Coastal road has been literally abandoned.
This is unacceptable.
Northerners
own more than 90% of the private oil blocs in the Niger Delta. Show me
one Niger Deltan who owns even a ground nut farm in the North. Atiku
Abubakar has a multi-billion naira oil, gas and logistics business in
Port Harcourt and some other parts of the Niger Delta. Show me one Niger
Deltan or Southern Nigerian with a billion naira business in the North.
Yet,
those people fought to keep Jonathan away from power. Time will tell.
The next wave of insurgence in the Niger Delta will come like a tsunami.
It will not be long.
