This might sound silly to some but to others a no brainer. A simple idea that many have died for. So here it is, every state in Nigeria should self sustain. Which means the people of the Niger delta have the right to self determination.

If the Niger Deltans decide to pave their streets in gold from their petrol naira that is their destiny. I don’t see a patriotic duty in preaching 160 million people share one destiny. Neither should I from Ibadan be entitled to the oil in Goodluck Jonathan’s backyard.

In the same spirit Goodluck Jonathan in Aso Villa has no moral authority to determine how he and his cronies spend the petrol naira from the Niger delta. Makes as much sense as me believing I am entitled to my neighbors water hole just cause we are both Nigerians.

In reality that kind of thinking will land me…
