HELLO NAIRALANDERS

SOMETIMES I WONDER IF THERE ARE NO DELTAN, BAYELSAN OR PEOPLE FROM THE NIGER DELTA REGION
IN NAIRALAND,

these militants are just destroying the future of the poor masses in nigeria, maybe in the next generations to come
since nigeria depend on the income from the crude oil sale,it,s going to destroy our ecomony in years to comeif nothing is done about it since there have not been a room for negociation between the FG and the militant, these guys are just bunch of rugrat,dumbass that want to reap were they did not sore,and they are taking the advantage of our democracy
since there is always a room for diplomacy in the democracy.

according to my estimate there are over 125 militantgroup in niger delta region, and not all of them have access to the
mainstream oil pipelines that pumps crude oil from the offshore and onshore oil well,so they main activities now is kiddnapping of peoples children, there by setting bad exampled for the young one,s around the communities,

kids now carry ak 47 riffles and these finally have psychological effect on them, and prevents them from getting the
education they need,this also redirect their orientation of life,they get what they want forcefully and they will be
dangerous to the civilian communities, how much more can we loose because of greedy people trying to take what
doesn,t belong to them

I THINK THE LAND USE ACT SHOULD BE REVIEWED ,IT MIGHT AID TO THE STOP OF MILITANCY

First, the oil belongs to them and they have all the right in this world to do with the oil what ever they wish to without you nigerians having to complain. Did i hear you say they want to reap from where they did not sow?? And who actually own the oil and should be reaping from there as were they sow?? The hausas, yorubas?? (Igbo are part of Niger Delta).
125 militant group in Niger Delta region?? You nigerians aitn seen nothing yet. That number is freaking little. They are still coming with more bangs. It can only stop when the northerners that are reaping from where they did not sow come to table and agree for the peaceful division of nigeria. They have all the opportunities to come to table for peaceful division. Time is running out and they risk being forced to comply. Don't say MEND didn't tell you.

Trust all the oil belong to niger delta, including the ones offshore, the one with Soa tome.

This is just a lazy man's mentality. Since the days they have been settling their traditional rulers, state governors, LG chairmen; has there been any improvement in the life of an average niger deltan?
Now with Mend, how many Niger delta youth have been slayed or killed. How many Niger deltan have been caught in cross fire ? Has insecurity not added to the probelms of the average niger deltan?
The situation is getting worse and it will only get worse for an average, innocent Niger deltan if those Criminals don't drop their weapons and give peace a chance

I wonder why the Nigerian Army has not decimated these so called "freedom fighters", well continue with your kidnappings of civilians and the day will surely come. 125 militant groups numbering how many guerrilla and ill equipped men? maybe they should start like the LITE of India and start enlisting women

The militants are free to blow up as many oil installations as they want in their area and cut oil production to 0 after all its their land and environment that is getting destroyed while the parasitic Fulanis sit back doing nothing but leaching of off the resources in the South. They can either wake up from their laziness and start contributing to their region instead of reaping where they did not sow or freaking separate so we can all move on and carry on with our own issues.

I wonder why Nigeria couldn't decimate Cameroon after all the countless attacks on its so called citizens in Bakassi but yeah sure Nigeria knows how to decimate it own people from Biafra, Odi, Zaki biam, Ogoni to Umuechem?

they say every day is for the thief but one day is for the owner.

Seems some Nigerians will never see past their TRIBALISTIC SENTIMENTS!!! How do you make any point with such an irrational view of the world and people who do not agree with you?

Separate? Nigeria will not separate, get that through the thick skull of yours.  One who controls the military controls a nation, so basically all separatist attempts will be foiled, why not try a referendum or something  . FYI you know that besides oil revenue, which accounts for 85% of Nigeria's GDP, the north produces 7% of the remaining GDP.

do you have a problem when people dont agree with one another?

Why do you always get your knickers in a knot over someone disagreeing with a point of view you feel like supporting?

Kobojunkie has a point. Unfortunately its the black mans curse through which he hates other black men. This problem of Tribalism does not stop on the borders of Nigeria, it is far reaching into North America as is also akin to our African American counterparts to hate each other.

Black man strong individually, catastrophic as a united front.

I dont know too many black people who hate blacks with more intensity than kobojunkie.

I attribute his attitude to some serious trauma and possibly low levels of IQ.

His moments of clarity are few and far between.

After all my lectures on this Niger Delta thing, I cannot believe that people are still here dragging this thing. Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Like the poster said, the Land Use Act needs to be reviewed. That is the first step toward solving this problem. After that, we talk about the constitution.

Until then, we Ijaws will let our guns talk for us since so many Nigerians are too stupid to understand the situation. If they don't like it, they can let their guns talk back for them. Let us see if these people are ready to die for this entity called Nigeria. And let us see who will suffer most.

You are really a fool to think that the military status quo will remain same forever. You and your people will soon be in for a joker. Start preparing to use force (which is all you and your illiterate people knows about) to avoid the next Igbo president of your silly country nigeria, and that's if your silly country will last as ONE until after yar'adua's tenure. Be sure that once Igbo president mounts the throne, all lopsided military structures will be looked into and reverse will be the case. The military will be restructured in a way that no zone/region will have military advantage more than the other. We shall see. And i say again, start preparing to use force to stop the next president from being of Igbo stock.
Not only military, but many other things like quota system and fedearal character among others must be scrapped for merit to take place. You and your people must be afraid. Yar'adua has only 6 more years to go.

Kobojunkie is a woman.

I doubt it.

the millitary quota would remain giving that hausas notoriously prefer the barracks to the classroom.  groups like MEND have splittered and have wavered from their main goals.  niger delta millitancy is just an act of desperation. the solution isn't the derivation formula but the lack of leadership among niger deltans.

yeah i haerd all your comments, but i don,t dicriminate any tribe, but we don,t hav to take chances
and wait for the worst to happen before we take precaution.

let the land use act be reviewed

with the advent of a well organized militancy structure in the niger delta; military quota is now a thing of the past.

lol. . . . this brings me to my favourite quote from Wikipedia. . . . MEND is like Mahdi Army in this bitch.


MEND's evolving approach to conducting warfare has been described as "open source" [9], so called because it is analogous to the decentralized communal development process now prevalent in the software industry, making it extremely quick to innovate and move new technologies and tactics rapidly from cell to cell without the direction of a vulnerable leadership hierarchy.[10] Former Air Force counter-terrorism officer, technology analyst, and software entrepreneur, John Robb, in a Wired Magazine interview about the emergence of "open source guerrillas" alleged that MEND "doesn’t even field its own guerillas. They hire their experts and fighters mostly from criminal gangs and tribal warrior cults to do their operations." [11]

Im the one thats a fool and you are the one that is shouting Igbo president, not for many many generations my friend. You people screwed yourselves when you tried to emancipate yourselves from Nigeria. Another civil war and you will be the loser.

The war you clamour for will be left alone between you and us and we shall deal with you seriously. Start preparing because we are coming with a bang.

I thought Britain was in favor of the breakaway state of Biafra. Now who is the illiterate? you should try and do your homework. Britain recognized Biafra.
And as for coming with a bang, Goodluck. Nigerian Army defeated the small clandestine state of Biafra without much casualties. The fact that the east is marginalized when it comes to Nigerian forces will held deter your disillusioned victory.

josboy, you're erroneously counting on the west and niger delta to help you like 1966? you're mistaken.

The military quota system will not remain for any reason once an Igbo president mounts the throne. It is not our problem if northerners like to drown their selves in koranic schools instead of civil schools to get western type education that others are getting. Who doesn't prefer barracks? huhh? Tell me. During Igbo presidency, all military quotas must be filled equally according to regions and if any region prefer to fill their quota with almajiris, that then will be their own cup of tea.
Military of any serious country is not a place for mediocrity. Igbo president will never be afraid to change all the one sided policies once he mounts the throne because he is doing the right thing and doing your useless country a favor. It is never our nature to fear any one. We are not like other ethnic groups that are afraid of the hausas. They should be afraid of us and not the other way round. Like i said somewhere, just wait until Igbo person takes the throne. It must be, or esle,       Notoriously prefer the barracks my ARRSSSSS.

Debate, I dont mind. Referendum, I dont mind. Peaceful breakaway, no wahala. But WAR, hell no. Most of u guys are there in foreign countries 'sittting pretty' and clamouring for war in Nigerian. How many of u will come back home to fight the world?

Now tell me to call out all northern illiterates of this forum and you will be the first and the worst amongst them to be hounded out. Ewu awusa, you don't know who single handedly defeated Biafra for you and militarized your lazy and illiterate demented arrshole to help hold their oil for them? And this was achieved after full 3 good years. What a shame for your illiterate people and the British. Once again, i said let the war be between the Igbos and all norther nigerians alone, and we will capture all of you as our slaves within one week.

Yemmy don't worry e no go happen. All these internet "freedom fighters"  do not represent what the average Nigerian thinks.

Those who are clamouring for war are those that are bent on spoiling everything good in nigeria and still want the status quo to continue without any challange because the idiotic British people helped and gave them arms to use in arresting other people's development. Sorry, our people down east of the Niger don't take that kind of shit. I said it again, if the country didn't divide until after yar'adua's tenure, the next president must be Igbo person, and he will immediately embark on righting all the wrongs that those illiterate and lazy nothern nigerians created.
Anything short of Igbo president will amount to full blown war and those who will cause the war are those who will be hell bent on stoping Igbo president from rightly mounting the throne. Don't tell us that you don't know exactly which people that likely to start the war. So start preaching and pointing your fingers now to them and warn them not to creat any war.

Everyday I think of that bag of soured moi moi called Nigeria,I wish they had let my father and grandfathers breakaway peacefully to Biafra.
I regret being a part of that nation.
The northern Namas have killed us.
josboy of course Britain sided with awusa people.
How colonial masters no go side with the mumus in the bunch.
They are in love with people  wey no get much commonsense.
They are easier to work with.
Too bad Awolowo and the rest did not see what our fathers saw
I can assure you most Yorubas now see what the Igbo man saw.
Una with una gworo mentality don kill us

Look at a whole awusa tribe that prides itself as one of  the largest group in Nigeria,how many are on nairaland to begin with?
This is a microcosm of Nigeria
computers never reach una place?
How many people here outside of Nigeria know any Hausas?
Itibolibos AKA mumu illiterate blockheads
Their females are somewhere locked in dungeons from the age of 6 taking turns  to service their 50 year old husbands while the men are chasing livestock or sharpening their cutlasses in preparation for the next jihad
blood suckers

It will better serve you right to first take care of problems in your own northern nigeria and allow others to sort theirs by themselves. if Niger Deltan's want to drown in their internal problem, it's never you and your people's business. There is mass illiteracy, almajirism, bergarism, Polio, and the largest percentage of nigeria's corruption all in your northern nigeria. Stop worrying about Niger Deltan's problem. It doesn't in anyway concern you and your people. Go sort out your own first and stop reminding others of their own.
