Atim Oton.
I was born in the Niger Delta, and lived in the Niger Delta in Nigeria until I came to the U.S. In some ways, I can be considered a child of big oil -- Mobil Oil -- to be specific. But I own no oil fields and none of my family works in the oil sector. My ancestors (grandfather and father) are from a village in oil country, in a place called Eket.
When I was growing up, Mobil Oil along with the Nigerian government, took one of my aunt' s farm land in exchange for money.

Goodluck Jonathan, the president of Nigeria , is a child of the Niger Delta. As a fellow child of the Niger Delta, I expect a solution to the Niger Delta from him. Why? He has no choice, between this and the current issue of bombings by the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram , Nigeria will be safe to progress into its productive future. Simply, it' s time for Jonathan to use his security budget and deal with this issue.
