This debate over Petroleum Industry Bill is uncalled for. States and Communities should be allowed to prospect, produce and market their oil and gas which are their God given natural recources while the FG should tax them. Those parasites States clamouring over oil revenues and the alloctions of oil money should rather borrow a leaf from Anambra and Lagos States.Those two States joined the cadre of oil producing States by investing their State funds in oil and gas explorations. The oil,gas and other mineral resources should belong to the people who own the territory where the minerals are found. The earlier the Federal Government abolished oil block legacies to non-indigenes of oil producing States,Emirs Imams and ex-Generals the better.The oil of the Niger Delta belongs to the people of Niger Delta first and second to the rest of Nigerians through taxations. With all those ubiquitous multitudes of beggars through out the North,one might be tempted to ask where the decades of oil money allocation to the Northern States goes? It seems as if one-Nigeria revolves only on the share of our Niger Delta oil money.But States must be made to survive on its own resources rather than rely solely on handouts from the Federal Government.States that are not viable must be declared bankrupt and merged with viable ones.The Senate should be more concerned about the ongoing Boko Haram mass murder campaign and the ethnic cleansing cum genocide in the Middle-Belt region. Innocent children and their parents are being murdered daily in their sleeps by Hausa/Fulani herdsmen for the fact that they are Christians.Nigerians want a convention of Sovereign National Conference to renegotiate the terms of our cohabitation with the Hausa/Fulani muslims.Our members of our Senate must be reminded that the infamous Lord Lugard's Almagamation that lumped us together with Hausa/Fulani invaders from the Sahara comes to an end this years.Therein was a memorandum of understanding that the North and South could go their Separate ways after 100 years. That the Hausa/Fulani Leadership is calling for amnesty and compensation for their terrorist groups who murder in cold blood their innocent Nigerian compatriots raises some ethical questions.The Hausa/Fulani muslims are like a malignant cancinoma on our nation that must be excised.The call for a Confab must be heeded to is must continue as a united nation.

" ...83% of oil blocks owned by northerners"

.

This is most revealing. Thanks to Senator Enang These same people, the Northern Islamic oligarchs who control the wealth of Nigeria are the ones who whine all the time about "NORTHERN POVERTY". They also whine about losing political power even though key posts are still held by them. One really wonders what they really want.

.

Someone should make these facts known to Clinton and other Americans who feel the "North" is marginalized. They need to know that the same people control the wealth generated by the oil industry but that their priority is not how to develop their area.

.

Worst of all, this wealth is presently used in financing terrorism rather than developing the north or anywhere else. They whine about reflecting federal character only when it sooths them.

.

FEDERAL CHARACTER IN OIL BLOCK ALOCATION IS A WONDERFUL IDEA

.

But the best idea and the best option is to get rid of the parasites. To EXCISE the Sharia North.

.

Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic and begin to work for and pay for those allocations, services and positions that are presently paid for by resources and money from other parts of Nigeria. Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic where they can practice their blood thirsty religion. Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic where they will pay the price for their delinquency. Let them have their Islamic Taliban republic where we can contain them as Israel contains the blood thirst Arab Mohammedans.

Now the poor families and educated youth in the region know better where to direct their anger and frustration. They now know the people who use the region to enrich themselves but wickedly deprive the same people. The Federal government should withdraw the JTF so that the masses can deal with the thieves
