The north wants just one thing [political power - presidency] and all thier effect is on that. The south wants resource control, massive regional development, biafra, presidency, oduduwa republic, etc. How can you stand? You will always end up in agitation. Amongst all these, to be sincere, it is only presidency that can be achieved with proper agreement as others will divide Nigeria state which the majority does not want for now, especially [resource control and biafra] and massive deveopment goes with budget which is passed by National assembly dominated by the north.

Someone in Akwa ibom will say MEND has won but one from Gbaramatu knows that he has lost unquantifiably. Pls, for now, I would like MEND to allow for peace and pursue and compel POLITICIANS to do the right thing in ND. They are responsible for all our problems not the oil companies. I do not blame the oil firms but the people that gave them the powers to do what they are doing. It is the duty/right of govt to develop ND as oil firms do thier legitmate bussiness in accordance with govt instructions and also assist govt not as a mandate but at will. Govt can give the firms the responsibility of developing the area, its a matter of agreement. If it were the duty of oil firm to electrify Gbaramatu and it is not done, the govt surely will take the firm to court. The firm will not even try it. Firms are for profit after all.

If I move to England for a business, it is what the polity/ govt wants me to do that I will do. Any other thing could be at will. Shell can not do any project in Nigeria without govt approval. If govt says no, they will stop the proposal . Let us fight the cause of our problem and not the problem.
