This is how the communities are as at today after 45 years of Shell in the
land. Yet they are mobilise Navy and JTF to invade a peace loving people
asking for justice. Shell, PDP lead Local Government Chairman have
mobilised Naval force to forcefully throw out a people demanding justice
after Shell 45 years in their land with nothing to show. Not a drinkable
water for 45 years of Shell, no schools, no hospitals, no more fishes in
the river because of Shell pollution, not a single staff employed by Shell
in 45 years of operations.
All Shell do is use “A” against “B” soon as they see “B” is disagreeing
with their under development style of doing business in the land. Shell
have never employed one person as staff in the communities since 45 years
of their presence in our communities. Shell gave birth to militancy and
piracy in our water ways because they empower youths to shout down
communities demanding for development. Communities are now demanding
justice from Shell. Instead of listening to our demands, Shell have joined
forces with the PDP lead local government Chairman Mr. Roland Sekibo to
oppress the Belema and Ofoinama Communities. The Chairman said his
government cannot continue to loose 34m naira every month, hence he will
use all tools in his power to help Shell.
The only project embarked for us by the local government was 600,000 naira
wooden and broken toilet house nothing esle. All that comes to Akuku Toru
LGA is taken over by only one Community called Abonema with nothing the
rest. Even we the oil producing communities are grossly marginalised by
Abonema where the LGA Roland comes from and represents.
President Buhari and the entire world should come to our aide over this
injustice.
Shell you can no longer succeed, we are now all United against your evil
in our land. Shell have caused several fighting that lead to several
killing of our chiefs and youths numbering over 200. Today we are now
United to liberate our land.
Shell leave our land alone. Go with your evill and killings. Shell you come
to us with Navy gun boats and very high fire power but we resist you with
our cry to God who stands by the weak and oppressed.
We are fighting to liberate our land from continuous poverty, piracy,
hunger, lack of government presence and to have a sustainable future for
our unborn children.
