Acting President Goodluck Jonathan had a baptism of fire yesterday as the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) detonated two bombs at the post amnesty dialogue organised by Vanguard Media Limited, the publishers of Vanguard newspapers in Warri, Delta State, that left one person dead.

But the Acting President was not in the meeting.

But was the bombing necessary?
Who will pay for the rebuilding of what was destroyed and with whose money?

Have you asked whose money they have been using to do talk=chat=discuss=dialogue=converse and all the nonsense ever since?

The boys are simply saying enough of the talk, let real developmental work begin.

^^you are lost

You make me smile in Lagos.
Now they will use your money to rebuild and have chance to steal more money in the process, they will still use your money to talk, so was the bombing worth it?

You are found!!!
abi wetin make i talk? abeg dont get me started. please.

At this stage should we still be talking about dialogue , and meetings without tangibles to bank on? I was against the amnesty scheme from the outset. But this government that says ND is one of  its priority projects have done NOTHING.

If the government says the guys are criminals then why put them on payroll ? what happens to the ND graduate who has been jobless since leaving school and have shunned every temptation to be violent? The package does not seem to address that becuase a guy like that is not on the list of any notorious gang. This was my argument against the amnesty stuff.

Now coming back to the issues, the core develomental challenges of the region still remain. What should be discussed that have not been discussed? what position paper is left that we already do not have? So I am presently against any committee, or conference etc, they are all for fancy. The core problems are still there untackled.

Do you know how much the state governments would have siphoned in the name of conferences to discuss ND and the way forward?

Abeg face front .


@ Fhemmmy

Abeg i no fit shout abeg.

^^ all in support of the bombings should find out the location of the next one, then go stay there and get hit by it.

Would u have praise the bombing if a loved one by you was hit by it?

^^^^^^^^
My friend can stick to one point? I thought you were more interested in the cost of the destroyed building and where the money for the repairs will come from?

I am touched by the human casualty no doubt. i think MEND even gave prior notice to warn innocent people to keep off that area, they even gave the exact time, IMO this was to eliminate/minimise human casualty. so what are we talking about?

@tpia

Abeg free my side madam .

tell them to give enough warning.

do you read out all or understand english?

@tpia and Fhemmmy,

How you people from Nigeria? i am not sure because if you are i would have known it, except you are the relatives of Yaradua, if am wrong i expect you both to shut up.

If you where from south south you wouldn’t make such comment. We southerners are embarking for war in this country Nigeria, two bomb was already found in Benin city Edo State, one in house of assembly and the other in Edo Broadcasting service (EBS TV). the good is that they have not be detonated. infact this next is

To be continue…

i hope you've shown them where your hometown is, so they can go and bomb the bejeezes out of them there for failing to do anything about the excessively high levels of ganja dependent indigenes?

Dont worry about that, with the support from people like you JTF has done that. Hope you dont expect me to remind you of the casualty figures? So I think the "goodies" need to spread to your hometown.

^^ dont remind me of the casualty figures just yet.

wait till you see JTF again in your village then come on nairaland to complain.

so you dont want bombing in your hometown but you prefer it in other peoples' town.

do you see your life?

So the bombing is what will fix Nigeria?
I am sure it is easy for you to say that, your tone will change if anyone of importance to you is caught in line of fire . . . .However, i pray that wont happen.
We all want changes, but not necessarily to share blood of the innocents.
People are marching, some are protesting . . . . .things can change and not only by bombing

I see you are very comfortable scratching the surface here. If you see nothing wrong in the different conferences, talks, dialogue etc,  . . . without actions that will positively affect  a people whose source of livelihood have been severely endangered then I have nothing else to say to you. 

Find out when NDDB(Niger delta development boarc) was created. Do I have to tell you that people have been talking and just talk since then?

Or maybe I have to awaken you to the hundreds that die in the ND not knowing that their deaths are  occasioned by  environmental hazards brought upon them while the government and oil companies smile to the bank.

We have had enough talk and conferences. Let developmental projects begin. If this is too hard for you to comprehend madam, then sorry  i cant help you.

Nice one. Make dem continue like dat. THat is the only language nigerian politicians and govt understand- bombs , more bullets, bombs and more bombs. Hit dem hard boys, we ar behind u.
