They are allocated the highest amount of funds in the country by the federal govt, where do the funds go? are they adequate?what mechanisms are in place to ensure that they are spent properly and not stolen?..these are questions that should be given attention and not how to go about kidnapping expatriates.Probably the men who engage in these acts are not educated enough to be diplomatic or technical about these issues....then what are the Governors of these states doing to change the situation? what is Obasanjo doing apart from sending in security forces...why cant these politicians realise that these are desperate times and there has to be radical mechanisms in place to help the poor of the Niger Delta, I know there has been some improvements, at least compared to the years of military rule. But obviously the progress made has not been enough.The government has to be radical about helping the poor in the region, give all them education,water, health facilities,good roads,adequate public transport,and jobs for the youth...is this so hard?! with all the oil revenue?! i just can’t help but suspect that these militias are lacking in comon sense.It doesnt take a rocket scientist to know that the authority responsible for the social welfare of the given populace is the local government authority.
