SamAfrik: With such staggering amount going to Tompolo et al., yet Nigeria loosing up to $7b annually to bunkering & BBC describing some illegal refineries in d nigerdelta as d biggest crime scene in d world, just shows d govt running d nation aground.

seunfly:
ain't u tired of crisis in this country? Our so call president is fueling crisis just because he wanted another 4 years in office.
FSU is happy that our presido will start another security problem when he has not been able to solve the ones on ground, which kind of person are u?
Now kidnapers, secret cult, bokoharam, jamb, massob and other violence/nonviolence group will intensify their violent act to demand what u called crumbs and the innocent man on the street will suffer.
FSU av u ask urself wether u are safe 4rm ds crisis u ar wishing for? If u are safe, what about others?

frodobee: Birds of a feather flock together. Even the NNPC and presidency enjoys touting- how else did they win elections? When i proposed the use of both chemicals and electric pulses to monitor and detect pipeline vandalization, it was thrown to the bin. Crude methods and mentality still runs the system.

FSU: Brother turns against brother, all for NIGER DELTA oil money.

Both OPC factions now belong to GEJ. GEJ please throw in more crumbs and let them bite themselves over the left-overs like the dogs they are

One_Naira:

BH does not want amnesty. They already declined on the amnesty deal. You should rather say, the northern politicians wants amnesty for the BH.

Evestar200: Just passing

rhymz: on a more serious note, people should stop mentioning MASSOB in thesame group with MEND, OPC, MOSSOP, BOKOHARAM and their likes. MASSOB is anything but violent, it is just a group of disenchanted Igbo Biafran survivors that still want out. They have made no claims of militancy or fighting the government let alone reign violence anywhere.

ayox2003: There things going on in this country that we would never know. Imagine Tompolo getting N8.5 billion for securing two states, Dokubo N1.6 billion for some parts of Rivers state, Fasheun just got N2 billion. Approximately N12 billion? I remember that the money budgeted towards security that year was N900 billion. What the hell are they turning this nation into when a decent graduate cannot get a job or create his own business because they don't have any support?

Yet the FSU guy posted that GEJ should give then the 'crumbs'. Time will definitely tell.

Ogbuefi_Negro:

The National Security Adviser, Dasuki, ought to give this pipeline security problem a serious and hard look. Guard duties on all national security assets must be won-back from non-govt security contractors, whether inland, coastal or out at sea. Militants have what they are good for and their value to their various ethnic people must be acknowledged.

Negro loves OPC.

ray_alesh: do we have government in this country called Nigeria? a governmemt that can protect our resources, that can provide electricity, that can provide good road but a government that are full of lies (e.g Lagos ibadan road will be repaired before December 2012, somebody is very sick but they said is not, electricity will be increase but its decreasing, pre-pay meters will be free but they now collected money with the meteretc), a weak government (they said that the known does that are funding boko aram but they can't arrest them, they can protect the the resource etc), the government is clueless(e.g unemployment is rissing and the government is do wortless programmes that is benefiting their Family). y can this people understand that what goes around, will shouldly comes around. if the society is better their is no need to round up and down and nothing is permament but only death. Almighty is gently God

Gamji007: Very soon, Boko Haram will want seek for the contract to protect pipelines in the north! This our disfunctional government is full of shiit. Millitants and touts will soon be in charge of this country.

mu2sa2: The truth is that OPC members are thick on the ground and active, for good or bad. This reality can not be ignored and i think Tinubu realised this and now GEJ. What is certain is that politicians use them - as body guards or for thuggery. They are far more effective than the regular security forces because they operate under no law and since politicians are lawless themselves they are bed fellows. Much as some dislike the idea of OPC being given the pipeline security job, it's likely Gej will for two reasons. First, to secure the support of the OPC and thru them make inroad into ACN stronghold. Second reason is, to balance the equation - those criticizing Gej for rewarding the niger delta militants will be silenced.
