STFUand4kMeHARD:
A new militant group, Ultimate Warriors of Niger Delta, has emerged with a threat to continue to attack oil and gas facilities across the Niger Delta region unless the Nigerian government agreed to award 60 per cent oil blocs to the people of the region.

The new group which spoke for the very first time on Wednesday also demanded that the federal government allow the $16 billion Export Processing Zone otherwise called Delta Gas City project begin operations in earnest.

It, however, gave the government a two-week ultimatum to ensure that their demands were adequately met for a lasting ceasefire in the region.

Spokesperson of Ultimate Warrior, as it chose to be addressed, Sibiri Taiowoh, in a statement obtained by our correspondent, said if the FG truly wants peace in the region, it should award 60 per cent oil bloc to indigenous people from the region as its primary demand for a ceasefire.

The group further asked for commencement of academic activities at Federal Maritime University established during the regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Warning further, it said failure to meet its demands, would warrant total shutting down of vital oil facilities including Chevron BOP, Okan Platform, MEREN Gas Gathering Compression Platform and Chevron Tank Farm.

The statement added, “We are also behind the recent pipeline bombing in the Niger Delta region and I can assure you we will not stop until the EPZ project and the Maritime University are totally completed and start operations.

“We want to be the ones to be safe guarding oil pipeline in our area so as to create more jobs for our people. We would resist any attempt to give surveillance contracts of pipeline in our backyard to foreigners. We want the pipeline jobs to be given to our indigenous people.”

“We also want 60 per cent of the oil blocs to be allocated to the Niger Deltans just as the Federal Government has also allocated 80 per cent to those who are not from the oil producing area and just as 50 per cent of the resource was used to develop the non-oil area when we were producing cocoa and groundnut as main economic resources, the same 50 percent should be use to develop the Niger Delta region because we are the ones suffering the brunt of oil pollution and degradation in the region”, it further added.

Very soon those useless militants will begin 2 kill themsefs over juridiction 2 blew pipelines,yes lord cause confusion in their mist.i saw swine in a vision with 2edge swords cutting down their sef,i saw d creek turn crimson red.

Too much wrestling and American movies dexworry these guys




And by the way, each and every of their demands were fully deserved.



These classless country has robbed them for too long I'm actually surprised it took them this long to wake up

Hmmm

There will always be sporadic, violent eruptions in the ND, until the injustices against the people are extensively and adequately address. The people have been short-changed for so long and they can no longer bear it.

From poor infrastructures, biting unemployment, little or no FG presence, unending environmental pollution, uneven representation in the FG and it's agencies to illegal allocation of their oil blocks to appease political power house and party cronies

The lopsided allocation of oil blocks during the military era and 1999 - 2007 should be revisited and justly addressed.

It goes beyond temporarily silencing agitators with stipends or surveillance contracts.

Their grievances should be attended to with utmost urgency, sincerity and renewed enthusiasm.

The thing is becoming too childish

I think that's the idea. The will make it childish while achieving their target and creating decoys till Nigeria runs broke. By the time salaries are not paid all workers both federal down to LG's, there will be confusion and people will naturally yell on the government to yield to their demands the same way people indirectly yielded to the demands of BH by voting GEJ out and replacing him with buhari since most Nigerians perceived that it was because of GEJ BH was terrorizing Nigeria and bombing innocent citizens and since he couldn't stop them, he should go. The same script I believe is being played.

This people just carry federal government dey play. Seriously. Even if negotiation is on going they should look for their sponsors and prosecute them.

Waa gbayi, true talk

Don't they also want all corruption charges against ND politicians who stole money to be dropped?

The problem of the Niger Delta is found in their own house. These states get 13% derivation from crude oil sales. Before you say that is not enough, just look at the infrastructure that has been developed by Akwa Ibom (good roads everywhere, world-class hospital and stadium) and Cross River states (Tinapa, Obudu, etc). You'll rarely hear of militant/criminal activities in these two states

Ok lets look at Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa states where militancy are concentrated. These states are the highest beneficiaries from the 13% derivation rule, collecting trillions of Naira since it was implemented. Do you hear of life-changing infrastructure being built with the money? No. What we hear is Alamesigha dressed as a woman to escape bail from UK, Peter Odili granted perpetual injunction, James Ibori in jail in UK (forfeiting hundreds of millions of pounds meant to develop his state to the UK that does not even need the money), etc. Furthermore, their own son was president for six years and he could not implement a single project in his village not to talk of his state belente his geographical zone.

Yet, criminals from these particular three states (Delta being the main one), continue to blame 'lack of federalism' while asking for corruption charges to be dropped against thieves like them. Akwa Ibom and Cross River are leaving you people behind and I don't see the same 'lack of federalism' holding them back. SMH.

If you give Delta, Rivers and Bayelsa their own country, they will loot themselves dry and still blame the poor Hausa man in Bauchi who's farming onions. People in the ND need to hold their leaders accountable while also looking at the mirror.

@emboldened
This is the sentiment across Niger Delta, 50% should be used to develop the Niger Delta while Nigeria share the remaining 50%.

I might be a little too harsh but why should the rest of Nigeria share 50% of the oil from the ND. That presupposes we are still dependent on oil 100%

What happens to the mineral resources in other regions? Every region should develop what is residing in their region, simple. It will make everyone work towards self sustainance much more than any 50% share from the oil.

Agriculture, mineral resources, tourism can take care of each region if we know what we are doing.

I dare say that the money gotten from selling fuel can be matched with proceeds from agriculture that would make those producing the agric products to live comfortably.

Nigerias story is like a 6 brothers whose parent helped their first son to get a lucrative job where he earns 1M a moth and then shares it with his brothers, because he is the one working he gets 300k and the rest share the remaining 700k somewhat equally.

They are reluctanct to get a job that they would earn 500k a month each which is better than the 150k they get from their brothers sweat just because they feel the eldest who is the one working will now have the 1M to himself.

Stupidity at its peak.

The issue is not what they do with their 13%, is it better for the north that has no single oil well be allocated about 80% of oil bloc? Let the Govt give them 60% of the oil bloc, how they use it is no ones business.

Using your resources to develop other places while your place is not developed in the name of one Nigeria is too bad, govt should do the right thing.

Why can't Buhari just order the military to shoot at sight anything they suspect to be Boko haram, Biafra/IPOB, Ultimate Warriors, etc and their family members so that we may have peace in our coutry?

U talk like a child! Their demands are okay..one thing I hate about we Nigerians is that we hide truth a lot. Why not go ahead with these projects in that region? What is so difficult in taking up strategic projects in that region by FG? Why can't that region b made the commercial city of the country? Why Lagos?

U want to shoot at anythinh Biafra? U are really kidding me! Is it wrong to want to divorce ur partner? Why can't Nigeria call these guys and agree a referendum? Hey, even Britain who brought this mess on us doesn't run her country like the way they structured ours! What is so hard to understand that Biafra has right to want to quit the union? For nature's sake this ppl feel they can do better if allowed to be on their own, why not allow them go and allow those who wants to join Nigeria to do so at their own will and these whole mess will end? Shooting Biafra can't stop Biafra , if not, the Biafra thing wouldn't av started again after their people died in their million. Think wise bro and wake up from sentiment. In a sane society, na u and I go go street and press our govt to give room for referendum for these guys...Nigeria has never worked and may never work

I share most of your sentiments and the truth is our leaders in the ND are thieves and rogues that are bereft of ideas to develop the region. But we have people that can do the right thing to revamp that ND with the capital, mineral and human resources we have.

But my point is what would be the business of other regions if we generate our own wealth and fritter it away it would be our business to solve. It the whole middle belt is generating 500B Naira a year from agric, tourism, Ajaokuta steel complex and mineral resources in their area and managed well, what would be the business of the MB if SS generate 1trillion dollars a year and fritter it away. It would not be their business and they would not be able to hold other regions to ransome by blowing up the ONLY source of income.

Infact shame will make them realise that things have to change.

Rice Maize Cassava can be the crude oil in other regions.

Think about it, the amount of people that eat cassava, maize and Rice can be compared with people that use fuel. These things are also money spinners from other Zones, talkless about feeding west Africa.

We need to diversify by collapsing the unitary system and yes hold leaders accountable.

I heard that this ND avengers walks on top of the river while attacking the military.... Is it true?

The current FG need to correct the mistake of the past and use a sledge hammer to kill this annoying cockroach. Declare an all out war against them turn the cities into an inferno and the creeks to a death trap to them. The creek is not an endless land comb it and destroy anything that breathes without authorisation and I assure you they will not even think of it again
