Jona, na now you know this? You didn't know this when you and your corrupt ministers were stealing the country dry? Stealing is not corruption master. I beg go and sit down somewhere, these people always have great epiphanies the momonet they are out of power, but while in power they lack the same wisdom and vision. 20 Likes 4 Shares |

Nigeria is a strange place. What works in other countries don't work in Nigeria. From what GEJ is saying, the local content initiative in China enabled them to fashion tools locally so that most of the equipment they use in their oil industry is manufactured in China but Nigeria local content is all about labour supply and short changing workers, that is why today some oil workers earn peanuts. 12 Likes 4 Shares |

I know you meant well for the people, the powers use the people to fight you, they called you and your families names, the must popular one is the clueless one but today everyone that called you such a name has been proven wrongly. Those religiou leaders/ politicians are now chasing shadows. The current government are confused they don’t know how to bring in stability, they’re full of excuses, lies is normal now in the society, I wish help is coming soon 🔜

He did well on that but we need to do more for the oil producing areas. It's embarrassing that most of their towns and the people don't reflect their God given wealth. On a different note, one wonders why the people are never angry with the looters of their commonwealth but will rather fight FG alone. What have the governors done to significantly improve the lives of their people with the huge allocation that they get? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Islie: The absence of the law made Abuja and Lagos become the oil capitals of Nigeria, while the Niger delta region which is supposed to be the oil capital of Nigeria and should have become developed like Dubai is left with pollution and diseases. |
Nchenches: 9:26am On May 24 |
delpee: Sotay, with the arrival of Buhari as president, social infrastructures like standard gauge railway lines are excluded from the Niger delta region, but built in the Southwest, Northwest and even to Niger Republic. There was a country, Nigeria, that's why the hurry to use oil and gas revenue to build these modern infrastructures in the Southwest and Northwest but excluding the hen that lays the golden egg. |

This is true..... And what did you do to correct it as a president? |

This man suffer for Tinubu hand sha Insults to him, his family and children 24/7, even his daughters wedding was criticized, at some point people said the first lady had children for other men and that the children were not GEJ's children, all from Sahara reporter and Lagos Ibadan express. It is well |

![]() Jonathan didn't talk about Madam Dieziani Alison Madueke the foremost Petroleum minister he appointed in 2010! She still dey send us yearly $ alert like Abacha! This last January 2025 we got over $50M from such proceeds from the US according to BBC. Nchenches:And don't we have the NDDC aka Niger Delta Development Commission that was created in 2000 to aleviate the sufferings of the region. And the head of NDDC has always being people from the region. And with all the fund alloacted to them since 2000-2025 almost 25 years you still complain here? I think they collected N776 Billion plus in the last budget. Their allocation is always the highest. 1 Like |
