The Need for the Federal and the State government, to give priority attention to the fisherfolk in their scheme of things has again been stressed.
Speaking on the sideline of the 2016 World Food Day Celebration in Port Harcourt on Monday, the chairman of Fishermen Association, Rivers State, Comrade Michael Wilfred, also decried the discrimination against fishermen as against the farming counterparts by various governments.
Wilfred, who reiterated the nutritious importance of fish to humans,said it is time for the governments to correct the imbalance and total neglect, and consider the fisher folk in their scheme of things.
He opined that the attention giving to agriculture, especially farming should also be giving to fishermen, as they equally boost the economy and contribute to the wellbeing of society at large.
The fishermen’s chairman emphasized that government should invest both in farming and fishing by providing soft loans and implements to improve on their God-giving occupations, pointing out that his association members which cut across all the fishing settlements within Port Harcourt, Okrika, Ogu/Bolo, Andoni, Kalabari axis to Bonny, and other riverine communities are not happy over the discrimination against them.
Wilfred also decried the pollution of the eco-system through the activities of oil bunkers and called on the government to instruct the military not to burn or destroy illegal oil vessels and dumps into the rivers, as it also affects their occupation.
“Federal and state governments should set-up a committee to look into the pollution caused by the Joint Taskforce (JTF) and operators of illegal oil business as all waters and creeks within Port Harcourt to Bonny have been affected and there are total hunger and hardship to the fisherfolk in Rivers State”, he posited.
He also called on the authorities to extend their invitations to the fishermen in subsequent celebrations that have to do with food production.

We'll Continue Attacks On Oil Installations Until Buhari Sheds Crocodile Tears - Militants
We'll Continue Attacks On Oil Installations Until Buhari Sheds Crocodile Tears - Militants
One of the militant groups operating in the oil-rich region, Niger Delta Justice Defence Group (NDJDG) has explained why they launched the operation “Crocodile Tears.”
In a statement signed by the general commander of the group, the militants threatened to continue their attacks until Muhammadu Buhari-led government would begin to shed crocodile tears.
The group said: “We launched our Operation Crocodile Tears at exactly 10pm by blowing up oil pipelines/installations at Kporghor Community in Tai local government area of Rivers state.
“This is in continuation of our struggle against the Nigerian government led by the former military dictator Muhammadu Buhari for the continuous marginalisation of the Niger Delta people.
“It is true that the Nigerian economy is currently in recession, we shall continue our offensive against the federal government’s properties, oil installations until the Muhamadu Buhari led FG will begin to shed CROCODILE TEARS, if our demands are not urgently met.”
The militants earlier announced five demands to the administration of President Buhari.
The group asked to be allowed to control the oil output in the Niger Delta area and to celebrate activists who died during the struggle for better life for the oil-rich region among others.
The attacks are partially responsible for a decrease in Nigeria’s oil production of 800,000 barrels per day and the country’s recession.

Fearless people rule and conquer the world.
Fearless people rule and conquer the world.
The courageous rule over the fearful. Perhaps, the main reason Europeans came to Africa, dominated and colonised the people for several centuries is simply because they were not afraid to travel across the treacherous ocean to a strange and mysterious land and people to dominate it that we, as Africans lacked the courage to do the same.
Africans are generally fearful,
Africans don't want to die.
