Mr. Opiah does not think that we should play well our own part first before
we can accuse foreign firms for not playing their role to improve the oil
producing communities. Our resources are mismanaged from the top to the
bottom. The President and his subordinates, the Governors and their
subordinates, the House and Senate both at federal and state levels share
the oil wealth among themselves and tell us long stories. How the hell do
we expect the foreign companies to perform when they know that we are not
doing anything with our own wealth. They know very well how the game is
played in this country. They also know that Nigeria is rich enough to have
good roads, bridges, good schools, constant power supply, running water,
good telecommunication services and the list goes on.So if we are
undermining ourselves, who says the the oil companies cannot do the same?
Which is worse, the evil we did to ourselves or the one somebody else did
to us? I urge Mr. Opiah and his governor to visit Dubai and tell me the
difference. Both countries produce oil. Nigeria produces much more oil than
Dubai but you can see the result of their oil wealth. Anybody who visits
Nigeria would not realize that we produce a drop of oil.So please Mr.
Opiah, stop playing the blame game. We know that you are getting your own
share of the national cake.
