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 |

“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
"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.

Quote of the Month
"It
can be deduced that the political party plays a negative role in
African societies because it is generally created or established by the
elites to enhance their selfish interests. Consequently, the political
party cannot truly represent the people. It is like a leech that sucks
the socio-political lifeblood of the people and render them powerless
and dependable on the elites"... Priye Torulagha |

| THE IJAWS OF THE NIGER DELTA |
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..
