Talk:Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It seems that greed has created this problem. Government of Nigeria and the oils companies could have made a better life for everyone in the Delta and still the profits are enormous. And the destruction of the invironment is unbelieveable neglect. So what will it cost now?

[edit] Niger Delta: The struggle for the soul of federated Nigeria

Nigeria is a so called Federal republic living on the principles of unitarism. what the Niger Delta is fighting for, is what all other regions of Nigeria should fight for; the right to be a people. In Nigeria, the 13% derivation, the actual control of mineral resourse by the federal government, the sharing of revenue according to the number of local government areas, the imposition of three major languages on the rest of the country and the quota system of the federal character commission are the monsters that are tearing the country apart.these are th root of all our evils.for Nigeria to become a true federal democracy she most come to terms with the fact that her peoples all have thier own unique identities which must be respected.get rid of these problems and the giant of Africa will wake.Deltachild 15:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)Deltachild
