IKA LAND HAS GREAT NATURAL  AND HUMAN RESOURCES CAPABLE  OF TRANSFORMING THE ENTIRE LANDSCAPE OF OUR  PEOPLE AND EVEN BEYOND  OUR  CONFINES, WHEN WE  LOOK  AT  THE POLITICS OF DERIVATION, WE  WILL FINDOUT THAT  THOSE COMMUNITY  THAT HAVE OIL ARE  LORDING IT  OVER THOSE THAT  DO NOT  HAVE , AND  IT,S LIKE  DEVELOPMENT  IS ALWAYS  CONCENTRATED  IN THEIR  AREA,THEREBY  EXCLUDING OTHER COMMUNITIES WHO  DO  NOT  POSSESS IT. AGAIN WHEN YOU  LOOK AT  DISCOVERIES  OF OTHER  MINERAL RESOURCES ,THAT  ARE DISCOVERED ELSE WHERE THE  GOVERNMENT  BOTH  STATE AND FEDERAL  REALLY  PAYS  ATTENTION TO  THEM,THIS  IN MY  OPINION  ARE  STRATERGIES  DESIGNED TO  KEEP  CERTAIN COMMUNITIES  DOWN.

I  PROPOSE  THAT  THOSE  PRODUCE AGRICULTURAL GOODS  SHOULD BE  GIVEN COMMISSIONS  BASED  ON THAT DERIVATIVE, AND  WHAT  HAPPENED TO  THE  OIL DEPOSITS FOUND  IN COMMERCIAL  QUANTITIES IN UTE-ERUMU IN UTE AND  ABAVO  ?

WHAT  HAPPENED TO  THE DISCOVERIES  OF  MARBEL  IN OZARA? WHAT ABOUT  OUR AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES ? HOW  MANY  AGRO-ALLIED  INDUSTRIES HAVE BEEN SITED  IN IKA LAND ?

    I  CAN RECALL  THAT  DURING THE COLONIAL PERIOD AND  IMEEDIATELY AFTER INDEPENDENCE  IKALAND  HAD A LOT  OF IMPUT  IN THE RESOURCES OF  NIGERIA VIA , THE  PRODUCTION OF PALMPRODUCT , HOW  WAS THE  MONEY SHARED  ? IT WENT INTO THE COFFERS OF   GOVERNMENT  AND NO  SPECIAL  INTEREST  ACCRUID TO THE  IKAS .

HOWEVER  I  DO  AGREE THAT  PROSPECTING FOR  OIL  BRINGS  LOTS  OF DISASTERS  ON THE ENVIRONMENT , BUT OTHERS WHO  DO  NOT HAVE THESE RESOURCES SHOULD  BE CONSIDERED TOO  AND THOSE COMMUNITIES WHERE  GOVERNMENT  HAS FOUND RESOURCES SHOULD BE  GIVEN  ATTENTION TO DEVELOP THEM, IN THAT WAY  THE STATE AND NIGERIA WILL BENEFIT .

IKALAND NEEDS A  FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OR LET THE STATE QUICKLY  UPGRADE ,THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION AGBOR TO A UNIVERSITY  OF EDUCATION,LIKE THE  ONES IN OGUN  STATE,BECAUSE OUR PEOPLE STAND OUT  AS BEEN VERY  EDUCATED,SO WE NEED SCHOOLS INORDER TO  IMPROVE ON OUR HUMAN RESOURCES.

I  HEREBY CALL ON OUR  POLITICAL  AND TRADITIONAL LEADERS , AND  OUR  PEOPLE WHO  ARE CLOSE TO  GOVERNMENT TO  PLEASE RAISE THIS ISSUE WITH THE RELEVANT AUTHORITIES , SO THAT WE  CAN  MOVE FORWARD .

 

i agree with you in-to-to. anioma area of ika urgently needs a state (if not a federal) university. developed human resource is far much better and enduring than mineral resources.
