NIGERIA AND ITS PATTERN OF EXECUTING THE ANNEXATION OF IGBOLAND HYDROCARBON
First, the excise of all Igbo oil bearing communities into neighbouring states was executed by Gowon, in 1967, not minding the disruption to communities and their respective ways of life. Only areas that were physically impossible to realign were spared.
When in the 1970s, gas popped up in Asa, old imo state, Obasanjo in execution of the agreement, set up mamman Nasir Boundary Adjustment Commission to cut out the newly discovered Igbo oil and gas bearing areas into Rivers. Obigbo, translate “Igbo heartland” was renamed oyigbo, which means “cold Igbo”.
Fast forward to the present day, and gas pops up in new areas in Anambra and imo basins. Peter obi, being an incorruptible human, as then Anambra governor, fended off and fought courageously, attempts to cut that Anambra peninsular into kogi. Imagine if it was soludo? Those areas will be kogi by now, while the governors foreign account swells!!
Imo state is not that lucky, and so, Hope uzodimma has been overseeing the growth of the typical resource exploitation crisis beleaguering Africa and Nigeria in particular is accustomed to in the newly discovered gas reserves of orlu zone.
First, as asari dokubo variously confirmed, buhari commissioned a hoax crisis by contracting asari dokubo to import killer armed forces (unknown gunmen) to cause chaos and confuse them with nnamdi kanus ESN.
Then, Yoruba people arrive to to get 100 percent employment, while the gas corporations are headquartered in Lagos and pay taxes to Lagos.
The worst is that the none-indigene workers are not technical/ professional oil engineers. They studied history, agric, English etc. They employ them and train them onsite, while in full pay. The expert jobs go to white people who brought the loans for the project.
The only reward/benefit/ pay back to the host community is tears , blood and sorrow. They will move next to try and create an Igbo tompolo, boyloaf and one or two gas pipeline protection billionaires in the Niger delta mould.
That’s why it is important to them that nnamdi has to remain in prison/Sam Uche Okoro
