Late Chief Chris Ghomorai

We The Ijaws, the predominant indigenous people in the Niger Delta, moved to the
Delta over 7,000 years. We have a distinctive language.
The Niger River Delta, one of the largest and
beautiful deltas in the world, is the largest delta in Africa, and it covers
approximately 14,000 square miles (36,260 square kilometers). Its origination is
in the highlands of the Fouta Djallon Plateau in western Guinea 150 miles (240
kilometers) from the Atlantic Ocean.
At Lokoja in central Nigeria, the
Niger is joined by its chief tributary, the Benue. The Niger then travels south
250 miles or 400 kilometers, becoming a great fan shaped delta before emptying
into the Gulf of Guinea...

Resource control: Niger-Delta governors are traitors
The governors of the Niger-Delta have openly shown that they are traitors.
President Obasanjo called the South-South governors to Calabar and promised
to give them oil blocks if they will frustrate their delegates.....Joseph Evah
Alams vs. Obasanjo
I said ‘I bet on my life, you will leave. My loyalty to you will
end on May 29, 2007, whether Atiku becomes President or not. I reminded
him if he had forgotten that we all agreed in 1998 that you were only to
run for four years ... |

Oil fouls everything in southern Nigeria. It spills from the pipelines,
poisoning soil and water. It stains the hands of politicians and generals,
who siphon off its profits. Curse of the black gold |

"Obasanjo is an hypocrite, you say, don’t
worry I’ve got a masterplan to develop the area, you convene a stakeholders
meeting, putting some people in air-conditioned hotel rooms and giving them
money in Abuja while the real people concerned are left at home suffering
because there is no light, no water, no good roads, no schools. And all the
while you are secretly buying weapons to go and destroy them!"
"Obasanjo is not playing straight with Atiku, he is not playing straight with Nigeria and with the Niger Delta. The country is in for trouble." ....Prof. David-West

"Quotes"
"I consider that
Nigeria is on the verge, on the brink of a massive implosion that will make
what's happening in the Sudan child's play. We know there are movements for
secession in this country. We know that everybody is preparing for the
contingency of breaking up. International organisations are also studying the
situation,"... Wole Soyinka, Africa's first Nobel Prize Winner for Literature..
Reuters Alert, July 8, 2004.
“We have had the worst government
in this country within the last eight years. I am ready to challenge anybody on
this. Chief Obasanjo sold everything the country had. The things he did not
remember to sell are the National Assembly building, Aso Rock and the Supreme
Court buildings. You don’t ever put an hungry man in the kitchen. I feel very
sad and embarrassed that in the last 45 years, we have had more than five
constitutions. The critical point is that nothing is wrong with our
Constitution, but our rulers. In the past eight years, what we had in Nigeria
was a military government masquerading as a civilian government.”.... Chief Richard Akinjide
No regrets for my actions in power .... Olusegun Obasanjo ( February 09,
2009 ) |
