Nonesense good move because they are killing abi? When shall we stop rewarding criminals? Has similar move by elrufai yielded results? Ipob that dont kill -no jaw jaw only boom boom. May be the bandits should be rewarded with enlistment in the Army. Some of you are too blind to see that this so called bandit/ kidnappers drama is the fall out of a failed project. How would baboons and dogs swim in blood without the instrumentality of these blood thirsty mercenaries imported and now abandoned. The sympathy for them by the northern elites and this govt speaks volume. He that have ears let him hear

Kanade21:
[s]Since I rejoined Nairaland...I thought I would take a break from politics...but this time, I'll make an exception.

The comments on this thread are very revealing. A lot of Southerners are here criticsing the governor for meeting with these bandits. And for the record...they are right. I agree. Masari and the FG should have just rounded them up and put them in jail...permanently

But ten years ago, many of these same Southerners were rejoicing when Yaradua signed an agreement with the Niger Delta millitants who were doing much of the same thing these bandits were doing...killing, kidnapping, stealing and robbing poor people. And working for corrupt politicans. Yet...because these millitants were perceieved as being 'anti-North'..they were hailed and Yaradua and GEJ were called good men.

Now as for me, if I were leader of Nigeria since 2005....every millitant...whether Niger Delta, Fulani, Famrer,Islamist, Boko, Chrstian, pagan, etc, etc would have been rounded up, and put in labour camps out in the Sahara desert where they would work for their bread for the rest of their misreable lives...because these people are nothing but a bad lot. And yes, I mean it. And I don't care what you think of me. I'm sorry. But I don't think we should be tolerating any form of evil. We have been through one bad civil war, and several crisis, and another civil war in the NE because too many bad people have been tolerated. I'll be the first to criticse hardline communist governments, but on the issue of violent elements against the state...they had it right.

But on topic...you cannot be criticising Masari for meeting with millitants, and be clapping for PDP meeting with Niger delta millitants. (Thankfully some PDP governors like Peter Obi had the right idea of dealing with people like kidnappers, and then there was APC
's Oshomole's death penalty proprosal for kidnappers...which sadly did not see the light of day because of some 'hewman rights'..sigh).Yes, the Niger delta millitants may not have killed people like Boko and FULANIS...but they 1) stole millions of naira in lost oil revenue which went to their pockets...and then got free government money on top of that 2) blew up pipelines, making the pollution in the delta worse ...and making the lives of many people in the Delta and the rest of the country bad. And yes...many people die as a result .

I am going to say this one more time....millitants and Boko and fulani and farmer millitia, and tribal millitia...like those Jukun and tiv jokers who are fighting a war for over 500 years....all deserve to be in harsh labour camps in the Sahara. They do not deserve our coddling abd priase because they deal with those pesky Northerners or keep them Southerners in line. Anyone who threatens the peace and stability of this nation or any part of it...whatever their religion, or tribe, or race, or clan...is not my friend. And if you take them as friends...you are creating more palaver for yourself.

LibertyRep:
There demands will be met. Their commanders in detention will be set free and soon they will start a new wave of criminality.

What then is the motivation for a security personnel to risk his life in trying to apprehend these terrorists when they will still be pampered like heroes by the government.

How about their victims who have lost properties and relations? They should go to he'll?

AnanseK:
The criminals in Niger delta were involved in dialogue with the government after years of bombings killings and kidnapping by them. They were compensated by Umaru Yar Adua and even placed on fat salaries and their leaders given huge contracts by GEJ including national security contracts. This is very recent and you can’t hoodwink anybody.
