The Niger Delta Avengers, a new militant group in the oil-rich Niger Delta region, have called on the federal government to hold a national conference that would allow Nigerian citizens to vote on whether or not the country should be divided into four self-governing regions. The militants issued a press release outlining their reasons for supporting a division of Nigeria and an independent Niger Delta while threatening to cripple the national economy if their demands are not met.

NIGERIA IS A FAILED ENTITY


The recent happenings in the country is clear eye opener to how the Nigerian state has derailed and its heading to nowhere. A country where those in power over look the main reasons why they were voted into power. That has showed how self centered and selfish the people we look up to as leaders in the country.

When they (politicians) are elected or appointed into any political office. Their primary aim is to enrich themselves and influence infrastructural projects to their region. Clear example is the present administration where Fulani herdsmen whom are the kinsmen of President Buhari are above the law despite the killing and atrocities they have committed against farmers in the south and middle belt but the president can give a shoot on sight directive to military against the peaceful protest of the Indigenous people of Biafra. Other one is the 2016 budget where nearly all the major projects are channeled to the North even though the creeks of the Niger delta are in dear need of development to improve the standard of living.

The allocation of mining license is other crime this country is committing against its Niger Deltans. Where 80% of the oil blocs are allocated to northerners and the rest 20% is spread among the Easterners and westerners. THIS IS A CRIME AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE NIGER DELTA.

The duty of the Nigeria military is to protect Territorial integrity of Nigeria but instead the reverse is the case, Where politicians use them (Military) as thugs. Clear example is the Bayelsa state governorship election, River state federal and state house of Assembly election. Where soldiers and other security agencies are more interested in the money given to them by the politicians. As a result whenever there is change in the military high command instead of them to focus on their duty all they do is to joggle or make their way to Niger Delta region to make money for themselves and then forgetting their primary duty. Most of the top ranked military officers in this country are billionaires because they are out to make money for themselves by interweaving themselves with pipeline vandals and crude oil thieves.

After looking at all these injustices and devilish acts going on in Nigeria the Niger Delta Avengers concludes that nobody is loyal to this entity called Nigeria instead, we are insisting that the entity called Nigeria should break up and lets the South, East, West and North be govern by their own.

Immediate past president Jonathan Goodluck is the only leader who believes in the unity of the Nation. He was deceived that the entity called Nigeria can be still be saved. He wasn’t after channeling infrastructural projects to his people the Niger Deltans despite they are in dead need of infrastructural and human capital development. A man who was there to serve, he wasn’t after his own people but for the betterment and togetherness of this country Nigeria.If President Buhari can emulate the nationalist ideology of his predecessor, which we know is impossible because the shoe is too big for him. The nation won’t be having economic crisis, there won’t be pipeline vandalism, and our best brains won’t be seeking greener pasture oversees.

The present administration infringe on the fundamental human rights of its citizens with impunity with no respect for the constitution of the country. What kind of government treats her citizens like that?

The present administration has no respect for the constitution of the federation and run the country as if we in military regime. No freedom of speech, incarceration of innocent citizens and those against the government policies in the name of fighting corruption.

The Niger Delta has been neglected for more than 50 years which gave birth to the arm struggle in the region but after the proclamation of the presidential amnesty to all agitators by President Umaru Musa Yara- duha little or none has been done about the Niger delta in terms of human capital development, infrastructural development, youth empowerment/educational infrastructure. The truth is, nothing has been done about the Niger delta. Niger Delta Development commission (NDDC) that has the statutory mandate to develop the region is cash cow for the northerner and their southern political counterparts. The Niger delta region to the Nigerian government is like forbidding region as stated by one of our own, the minister of transportation Rotimi Amaechi. That no parents will send their ward to school in the Niger Delta. A reason why the President Buhari led Administration cancelled the Nigeria Maritime University Okerenkoko. Forgetting university of Port Harcourt he graduated from is sited in the Niger Delta. He is from a poor background like most other Niger Deltans but was able to attend university because it was sited in his community so why depriving other people from the region to benefit like he did? What a shame!

After a critical analysis and evaluation of the present happenings we come to a conclusion that, despite the president’s age and his cluelessness, he should call for a sovereign national conference. Where citizens from all regions will part take freely and decides whether the entity Nigeria should remain or break up WITHOUT PULLING A TRIGGER.

There was a country called Nigeria that was put together by Sir Lord Luggard but that country died since 1966 and since then what we have is a divided country that is under the control of watch of greedy and self-centered persons.

The Niger delta avengers high command, which comprises of agitators from all ethnic groups in the Niger Delta, has concluded that if the president fails to hear our voice and refuse to call for the sovereign national conference. We will ensure its happens or we will employ our second option by crippling the economy of the country. We won’t stop at that but dead ready to take the fight out of the creeks and take it to cities like Abuja, Lagos, Calabar, Port Harcourt just to name a few. And Avengers are not interested in taking innocent lives, but we will defend territory and ourselves .

To our brothers in the Nigeria Military we can still welcome you back home with open arms but don’t think we will spare you if you attack us.

To the United State and all permanent members of the United Nation security councils, you don’t have to wait for Syria and Libya to happen before you intervene since Nigeria is already a failed state.

To all multinationals operating in the Niger delta the harms you have done to the region with your flaring, spillage and enslaving of the people enough is enough. We want you to have a rethink and do the right thing.

The Niger Delta Avengers are not Boko Haram, we are not ISIS. All we are asking for is a better living for the people of the Niger Delta and self-determination that is to govern ourselves. We will soon raise our flag and name our interim ruling Council.


We are calling on all Nigerians to come out and support this cause.

ahh mk dem abeg o

PMB I advice you not to make the mistake of OBJ on this guys, adopt the path of Yar'adua

He clear say serious war is coming. Make this woman send this money quick na make I and my family port to Eritrea sharp sharp.

Nice one. Sane Niger Deltans applaud this move. You want to keep channelling oil to refineries in Lagos and ignore the yearnings of our people abi?

If you want to build railways from Lagos to Abuja, let the proceeds of groundnut oil fund that. The debacle behind the Lagos-Calabar railway clearly shows the intent of those in power. They're seriously struggling to pin in on southern senators when the appropriation/allocation committees comprises of core Northerners.

The mistakes of our fore fathers will not be repeated. Using Niger Delta wealth to fund the nation whilst illegal mining is a daily occurrence in the north and the proceeds unaccounted for will soon be a thing of the past.

The injustice in Nigeria stinks to the high heavens. Condemn militants and keep mum on fulani herdsmen. One day monkey go enter market e nor go return.

These guys have made some valid arguments. And of course Buhari by action and inaction has shown to be a sectional leader. Be that as it may, what these lads seek is an impossible proposition because the north has vested interests in Niger Delta oil.

Niger Delta elders had better call these dudes to order before they turn S/South to another North East.
This is what you get when there are small arms in possession of non-state actors.

Sadly, what they seek can't be granted in this regime because PMB is already deploying the military to the region to curtail your excesses.

These guys should stop threatening PMB because he won't mind turning your region to another Borno just to pay back GEJ

People, wise up!

GEJ own nko?

These militants are pain in the neck. What have they done for we the south if not for their normal selfish desire.
Buhari abeg nor succomb to any militant group o

With all the armnesty fund they have being receiving for over the years without building the neccessary infrastructure in their region.. I will advice buhari to deal with them... if its going to lead to war ...so be it and see who is going to loose... more idp camp will just be created in the north for your people...

We only know the beginnig of war and no one knows the number of casualties it will involve.

These boys should be wiser and fight the enemy in their backyard first. Their leaders are looting their state treasuries right under their noses, diverting derivation and other interventionist funds and leaving the people to suffer severe desolation and neglect.

The odds are starkly not in their favor, regardless of whatever, clean-up and development of the delta is a priority and is already on the cards.

He has succumb before he will continue to succumb because they are ready for him.... We ND are capable of handling him

Even their kinsman did not organised one.

The constitution does not recognise SNC. If you want one, the initial cry should be for amendment of constitution, for it to recognise SNC a referendum.

You think this is 1960s where people shiver with fear? Person go fear cow, fear e shit join? The ripple effect of any happenings in Niger Delta will be so detrimental to the existence of Nigeria.

Was it not same militants that bombed apapa some years back? Which military experience buhari get when Obasanjo nor get?

We pray for the peaceful resolution of this but any contrary thought to use force will definitely backfire. Boys nor dey smile on.

if you are from the ND then you shouldn't be posting this because we all know that our militant are selfish people claiming to fight for our people. Me and you knows that they are fighting for their pocket.
Guy forget matter unless say your brother join the selfish people!

They could hv been peace here or there if the man above did not make himself an annihilator of the man below .....U knw the ills are there!yes I knw...ur attempt to overlook them shall lead to questions one day and then rejection,then rebellion then insurrections if not by them,her children...
the federal republic of Nigeria be wise....ur children may one day reject u and disavow u
Make progress as a government to all liitle minds irrespective of region n ethinicity or oneday the little minds shall deny and reject u their mother

30,000 only in the region filled with 30 of millions underemployed graduateswhose region is been milked daily by the f00lanis.
