Oppression to Niger Delta accountable for Nigeria’s problems– Activist, Uranta

< img src="https://eyewitness101.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/injustice-to-niger-delta-responsible-for-nigerias-problems-activist-uranta.jpg"class ="ff-og-image-inserted"> A social activist, Somi Uranta has stated the only service to Nigerias’ security and socio-economic problems is restitution and satisfaction for the mindless evils meted out to Niger Delta individuals.

Uranta declared the issues of insecurity and a failing economy bedevilling Nigeria is not inapplicable to the injustice meted out to individuals of the area.

At a press conference in Lagos on Tuesday, Uranta alleged that the Niger Delta region has actually produced over $600 billion since 1958 for Nigeria but can not take pride in sufficient infrastructure.

He stated Nigeria would continue to suffer up until the Federal Government compensates the region for producing its significant source of foreign exchange.

Uranta compared the Niger Delta to a fertile woman, whose kids were removed while she is raped, continuously abused and blocked from enjoying the fruits of her labour.

She said, “The laws of retributive justice, boomerang, effect, cause and karma and so on has actually set in. Things have fallen greatly apart and the centre can no longer hold. Each and every single advance leads to 10 steps backwards. The only panacea, the only service to fixing the problems confronting the community is to do restitution, a satisfaction for the mindless evils meted out to this female and her household.

“The pitiful story of this female and her family typifies the Nigerian state and the Niger Delta, where over 95 per cent of her export incomes come from since 1958 when oil was found in Oloibiri, present day,” he said.

He stated the area’s homeowners have been denied of their significant occupation– fishing, revealing that growing up in Queenstown, Opobo, Rivers State, his mom had actually constantly sent him and his brothers to capture any fish of their option for the day’s meal from the river.

Uranta, however, lamented that he invested a week in his village last December and could not consume fresh fish since the rivers have actually been polluted by oil spillage.

“This is the tyranny of the majority against the minority. This is the tyranny of the numerous against the few. This is man’s inhumanity to man”, he lamented.
