As Niger Deltans where do we want to be in & what do we want to be known for by the world in the next 5years?

There must be a PARADIGM SHIFT from seeking development from the Federal Govt & Resource Control to maximising RESOURCES (HUMAN & MATERIAL) within our control to achieve our set goals.

Let us create a PLAN( the north have vowed to be the food basket of the nation and they are currently exporting food) of where we want to be with what we have in 5yrs and show how to achieve it. 

Do we want to take over SHIPPING, OIL& GAS,COMMERCE,MEDIA,CONSTRUCTION ?

One of the ways is to begin to force all tiers of govt in the region to account for expenditure of our resources held in trust for us,account for price & quality of projects,Strategic importance of projects& hold our elected officials ,Youths, Elders,NDDC,Rivers Basins etal accountable.

Stop all forms of illegal business in our domain(oil theft,kidnapping,Gun running,Narcotics,private armies,white elephant prrojects et al.)bold
