The Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) has agreed to pay the N45.9 billion awarded to the Ogoni people of Rivers state as compensation for oil spills in their communities.

While addressing Ahmed Mohammed, judge of a federal high court in Abuja, on Wednesday, A.O Ejelamo, lawyer to Shell, said the company has resolved to pay the monetary compensation awarded in 2010.

Cash out

Hope it will not be embezzled by a few. The money should be shared with equity and justice to all who are concerned. And the money should not be given to any government if not those thieves will corner it for themselves.

I Salute........Ken Saro-Wiwa!

He got there in the end!



Niger Delta..........how far?

You'll see how the ogoni people would start killing themselves

The money plenty o but they can pay, let them pay up

Asari Dokubo Right now

Everywhere don stew for ogoni people

It won't still reach the common ogoni man

As it should be

Oboy!! Maga��

I heard this for years........is payment is naira? They have made nonsense of the money as it has no value again

Thats only about $110 million dollars

Rubbish for what they caused

Since 2010?

You must be kidding me.

Ogoni chiefs in happy mood as maga don pay

This is a good development. My fear right now is that when this money is paid it might not get to the communities that have been affected badly by these spills. Na one politician/big man go syphon the money.

Pls Shell, ensure that this money goes to the right people /communities

Na drink dem go still use am drink

Mtcheee

The people at the top will seize it and give peanuts or nothing sef to those that are really in need.

Their politician again o hijack am abi?

Why people evil for this world? I no understand.

Money for the government

Then, the mother of battle begins with how to share it amongst the selfish individual agitating for personal gain

As far as the money will not go through buhari

This money will be highjacked by the few political class, and the average ogoni man will continue to live in abject poverty.

This I have seen.

It belongs to a particular community in Gokana where the damage was done . Not all ogonis l guess

ZombieBurster:
It won't still reach the common ogoni man

That's my fear

Hmmm! Now I , my mother once told me that my father is from Ogoni. I think it's time to trace my origin before it is too late.

But OP, do you know the sharing formula?
I'm asking for a friend o!

Eleme people will finally agreed they are ogoni, by the mention of this billion.

Let them pay them first at least.

Unfortuntely,there will be controversy in sharing the fund.
The right thing should be a demand for Shell to build developmental infrastructures that will have a life long impact worth that amount in the communities.

They should use part of that money to clean up their messy environment. Thanks to South South leaders, people and Nigerian government, Shell can now do whatever they like because they know they can get away with it. Taking this oil-spill case to the UK was the best decision the affected community made.
