When the present administration chose the so called amnesty as panacea for militancy in the Niger Delta,i had my misgivings about it.It is more like curing the symptoms of a malignant disease rather than tackling its root cause(s).The creek guys have surrendered their arms(in totality?),in exchange for cash and are currently painting the whole town red with naira notes!follow this link for details:

Well, I don't really care how they spend their money in as much as they would stop the criminality in the name of fighting for freedom and resource control amongst others.
By the way, why is Boyloaf behaving exactly the same way Asari Dokubo behave when he was granted amnesty by the Obasanjo administration? What message is he sending to all unemployed graduates roaming the street for job, to join militancy and make money or what.
Why would one spend 4 or 5 (Excluding ASUU strike) years in the University only to end up jobless, poor and wretched while One STACK illiterate enjoys a lot of wealth for carry arms against a country.

Naija na wa ohh

And what happens when they squander all the money?
Hope they won't simply return to their old "business"?

My people, if someone puts honey right into your mouth. Will you not chop? Don't blame the militants.
This is free money to them. Blame the person who is dishing out the money.
Besides, anyone that like to ignore all the blatant bribes and corruption involved in this amnesty and hoping the amnesty will work, is part of the problem of Nigeria and the niger delta.

MrCrackles:

They will come back for more!
Bloody bastards[color=#990000][/color]!

Watch your tongue Mister!

MrCrackles:

TrueAre you a militant
Well dont cry, not all militants are bastards. . . .

I have no issue with you having read some of your previous post. "By their fruits you shall know them"
By the way, militantancy is a reflection of the Nigerian society. Everybody de vex. I hope say u de understand wetin I de yarn? Mr. Bloody Bastxxx (you can fill-in the gap) 

A conscientious govt would have put in place developmental infrastructures in the said region.

All these press releases are cursory political posturing from both sides.

We will wait till the amnesty deadline expires to see whether MEND still stands strong or whether the FG have disabled MENDs strategic capability by buying out some militants. MEND say they have militants to replace Boyloaf and FG says militancy in Bayelsa has been curtailed by the defection of Boyloaf. We will see. If I was to hazard a guess, I would posit that the defection of Boyloaf has strategically weakened MEND. . . . . but we will see in October. Expect a lot of fire, and a lot of casualties.

@ibime.u sound lik an apologist of the creek gun-trotters.how could u be so pessimistic?militancy does nobody any gud my brother!

I feel sorry for the foot soldiers and the ND communities needing development – they will be worse off in due course. But their leaders (the Henry Okahs) will go on to become the next corrupt government officials. Sad to think that so many lost their lives in the hands of the JTF.

Militant still get mouth to talk what of politicals rascals,area boys or whatever their name is in lagos island,

1. Kunle Poly has close to five vehichles(Escalade, BMW, )PDP
2. Sago Honda Element American Spect(with close to 100,000 naira monthly allowance agbero)
the list is just too long to continue, 

lol Man the federal govt is tooo smart mehhhhn lol
Its funny how they use the same Tactics for all tribal leaders  MONEY UP FRONT
Instead of them to fund the building of hospitals, schools, Investments solely for industrial jobs.

just like i thought
That money is small compared to what they could have ask the government to do for them
I knew is was a joke when they asked for houses for all mend members. lol What about the non mend Deltans going through the same injustices?
The government has always used the tactic of using weak politicians and leaders from all tribes
(can't wait to see who the Next President is )

this is what innocent maiguards at Atlas Cove died for?,

I guess you don't have to be in abuja to loot the treasury,

[/img]

^You are right my brother (our daddy of Ojuelegba). We are still feeding you sha.

Now I command you to start posting more pictures immediately, or you will kneel down and face the wall            

You know I got the All stars on speed dial,

haha this is funny to me.
so what's the difference between these yeye small boy Mend militants and regular rogues?

even pete edochie's kidnappers (10 million naira ransom) said they did it to protest the corrupt govt. hahahaha
the thieves don't think they're commiting a crime anymore. they're all doing it for a "cause." whether for naija delta or to fight nnpc etc
maybe i should start my own millitant group sef.

make una relax bo. they are tryng to stimulate the niger delta economy!!! roflmao!!!

those men are serious heroes!!!

Why am I not surprised? I've been saying this right from the very start. Rather than invest their new found wealth in something meaningful, these boys blow everything on nice cars and women. B4 u know it, they'll all be back 2 square one. By the way, I wonder if they'll donate part of their wealth to the poor in the Niger-delta. Afterall, that's what they've bn fighting for.

Anyway, 'can't wait for the amnesty to end.

What do you expect them to do with the money? Put it in Union bank or Oceanic bank or Afribank? Should I continue? There are problems everywhere in this country!

so what's the point of having the millitants when they're kidnapping innocent ppl, destroying property but making only themselves rich in the process rather than actually MENDING the niger delta and helping the poor people in the land.
what then is the difference between them and the stupid politicians they're "fighting." both sides are corrupt and fighting for their own personal gain at the expense of others shey lol

September is the Month of International Strategic Thinking. I hope the Nigerian Goverment will seize this opportunity to develop a strategic plan to develop the Niger-Delta region and its people, and Nigeria at large.
