FLASH BACK. Niger Delta states are asking for 100 percent resource control. This means they want to control the oil and by extension, the oil blocs. We currently hold more than 70% of the oil blocs in Niger Delta. If we allow resource control, in the long run, all these oil blocs would be seized by the Niger Deltas Regional Government. I believe you all know that the seaports and airports would also count as part of resource control. If we allow this resource control to pass, it also means that the Yoruba Regional Government will control the seaports and airports in Lagos and that would mean our people will no longer be able to control the custom, and even the immigration. Nigeria’s present political power is in the hands of the Ijaw. They are presently controlling the Presidency of this country. We have lost the Presidency and we cannot afford resource control at the same time. If we allow resource control now, it means we have lost the presidency, the military, our oil blocs, the custom and immigration. We are better off going to war and be defeated than allow resource control or fiscal federalism. -Spokesperson for Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Your future is not in Nigeria, come 2015 get ready to be smiling in slavery. #SupportIndependentOduduwaNation It is now or never again.
