Mend and other groups can only thrive under a weak president, where was mend or boko haram when Obj was president. 2015 will tell

Your comment confirms that most Nairalanders are teenagers. Are you for real asking where MEND was when OBJ was president?

Was it not under OBJ that MEND were blowing up oil pipelines like no man's business? Was it not during OBJ that many Northern states introduced Sharia and Usman Jangedi's hand was amputated for stealing a cow? Was it not during OBJ that the Almajiris carried out violent demonstrations in the North and FCT causing the Miss Universe beauty pageant which was slated to hold in Nigeria to be moved to SA? Was it not under OBJ that Gen. Malu after he was removed as Chief of Army staff say that he " regretted not overthrowing OBJ"?

In all these, what did he do? Yes he arrested Asari and razed Odi but like you already know, Asari's arrest reduced Nigeria's oil production to 700,000 barrels per day and even in detention, Asari was still not cowed. Remember Asari rejected Amnesty and was freed unconditionally.

ezme:

I pity anybody that would take up arms and go into the creeks, Just one air raid and them go take down their camps. It would take the international community two weeks to arrange a no-fly zone. Can NDVF or MEND withstand an air raid for up to 3days? They should learn from Lybia and be smart about these threats flying around the place.

How old are you? Be honest

Politics is a game of numbers
Jonathan will not be 'manipulated' out come 2015,rather he'll be VOTED out bu the Nigerian people

If after the Nigerian state has conceded 13 percent Derivation; NDDC; Ministry of the Niger Delta and the billions of naira that Kingsley Kuku expends as chair of the presidential amnesty programme they still insist on foisting a lameduck upon Nigeria as president, make dem kuku resume the violence now
No need to wait till 2015

Keep dreaming

We the Niger Deltans will never allowed the North to intimidate us. We are capable of doing the ''unthinkable'' the North should stop taking us for a caword for being silent!! GEJ must rule till 2019... 2015 is a must win for GEJ, it would not be negotiable. Infact, it would be automatic winning. GEJ must rule till 2019 for peace to be and for Nigeria to remain one. I don talk my own finish o.
God bless GEJ

MEND were doing the following when OBJ was president;

2006

Nine officials for the Italian petrol company Eni SpA were killed when armed members of MEND attacked Eni SpA's security forces in Port Harcourt. MEND militants briefly occupied and robbed a bank near the Eni SpA base, leaving at about 3:30 p.m, about an hour after they showed up.

A company official stated, "Eni has temporarily evacuated staff and contractors from the area of the base affected by the incident and the situation is currently under control."

MEND issued a statement regarding the oil workers: "Be assured therefore that the hostages in return, will remain our guests... the hostages are in good health and have adapted fairly well to the conditions under which the people of the Niger Delta have been kept."

On May 10, 2006, an executive with the United States-based oil company Baker Hughes was shot and killed in the south-eastern city of Port Harcourt. At the time of the shooting, it was not immediately known if MEND had any involvement or not. Witnesses say the attacker appeared to be specifically targeting the US executive.

On June 2, 2006 a Norwegian rig offshore Nigeria was attacked and 16 crew members were kidnapped. According to the news agency Reuters, MEND has not taken responsibility for this attack.[13]

On August 20, 2006, 10 MEND members were killed by the Nigerian military. The members were working on releasing a Royal Dutch Shell hostage. In an email to REUTERS, MEND stated, "Our response to Sunday's killings will come at our time, but for certain it will not go unpunished."

On October 2, 2006, 10 Nigerian soldiers were killed off the shore of the Niger Delta in their patrol boat by a MEND mortar shell. Earlier that day a Nigerian/Royal Dutch Shell convoy was attacked in the Port Harcourt region resulting in some people being wounded.

On October 3, 2006, a militant group abducted four Scots, a Malaysian, an Indonesian and a Romanian from a bar in Akwa Ibom state.

On October 4, 2006, Nigerian soldiers attacked a militant camp, in the ensuing battle 9 Nigerian soldiers were killed.

On November 22, 2006, Nigerian soldiers attempted a rescue of kidnapped oil workers which resulted in one soldier being killed.

2007

On May 1, 2007, at 4:15 a.m., MEND attacked Chevron's Oloibiri floating production, storage, and offloading vessel off the coast of the southern Bayelsa state. After one hour of fighting with security boats, resulting in the death of 10 people, MEND seized six expatriate workers, consisting of four Italians (Mario Celentano, Raffaele Pasceriello, Ignazio Gugliotta, Alfonso Franza), an American (John Stapelton), and a Croat (Jurica Ruic). On the same day, MEND published photos of the captives seated on white plastic chairs in a wooden shelter around the remains of a campfire.[14]

On May 3, 2007, MEND seized eight foreign hostages from another offshore vessel. The hostages were released less than 24 hours later, stating they had intended to destroy the vessel and did not want more hostages.

23 May 7 hostages were taken from a pipelay barge of Nimbe area of Bayelsa they were released 23 days later. they included Brittins Americans and one South African.

On May 8, 2007, three major oil pipelines (one in Brass and two in the Akasa area) were attacked, shutting down oil production and cutting power to a facility run by Italian oil company Agip, part of the ENI energy group. An e-mail statement from a MEND spokesperson said, "Fighters of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) attacked and destroyed three major pipelines in Bayelsa state... We will continue indefinitely with attacks on all pipelines, platforms and support vessels."

Have their been any peace in the Niger- Delta? The violence was just transformed from pipe vandalism to serious oil theft. I do not know how their planned violence can spread throughout the country. They may only end up destroying their regions as the boko haram is doing right now.

Naval sadiq: vote buhari for 2015 and

Dear Sadiq,
i understand that you are one of the ''good'' supporters of Buhari. But the fact is, Buhari can never rule Nigeria again. GEJ must rule till 2019.
Take note of the word ''must''. Must is not a word of under probability... If you still want to enjoy oil money, you have no option than to vote for the man. See, if you people are not careful, we may cut oil supply to the North by 2015.

Fools.

The hatred and jealousy of the niger delta people consume all you haters,#we must always fight for our right#

Abeg how much is a plot of land in nairobi?am tire of this nonsense!

Good talk

Bros, I only answered a question.

ijawkid: Let them return all the amnesty monies they've been given before they revert back to militancy........

I-diots the................

Return what money? The one from their oil or the one from cocoa/groundnut?

Wsdm: Have their been any peace in the Niger- Delta? The violence was just transformed from pipe vandalism to serious oil theft. I do not know how their planned violence can spread throughout the country. They may only end up destroying their regions as the boko haram is doing right now.

Well said. What ever they do, they should keep it in their region.

The same Air raid was used to no avail,,,so say something else

Asari,you are not right about Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. You have spoken in ignorance about the man who is the best leader that Nigeria is yet to have. Go back to history and check out his background and antecedents,you may apologize to him soon! Let us not get carried away with emotion and mis-judgement,it is true that Nigeria is a country without effective laws.While some are scape-goats,others are sacred cows.This is very sad and its all so because of weak leadership.

Looks as if we are heading towards d predicted disintegration...anywaiz d violence should not pass their regions

nwabobo:

How old are you? Be honest

What does that have to do with anything? Please address the discourse

Father in the name of Jesus, grant me and my fellow NLders life and good health to witness and see what will be of this "nation" Nigeria come 2015. God if you wouldn't mind fast forward us into 2015. Make us victors and not victims. Amen.

After our money has been wasted on them in the name of amnesty? I guess pigs will always run back into the mud.

Everyone now takes the Retardeen regime for a ride

I won't want to dwell on this but if you do a careful analysis you 'll realise that these guys hold the upper hand with access to the sea and source of income they don't even need advertised for mercenaries if they even need them.
If you 're from there, I promise you won't hesitate joining them.

I'm from the region but I sure would not enlist to fight anyone's war. Within the region we have our own differences,I'm from a minority ethnic nationality. What I'm open for is a sovereign National conference. I'm not a coward but I would not fight an Ijaw man's war. GEJ and his present performance is not worth fighting for.

firstolalekan: [size=14pt]STUUPID JOBLESS LAZY THIEVES!!![/size]

[size=20pt]Who is the Lazy thief?
The man who steals another man's resources instead of developing his own,or the man who fights for his God given resources against thieves using the fraudulent name nigeria to justify their thievery?
Just like the sponsors of Boko haram did not see anything wrong in Nigeria in 2007 because their own Yar'adua benefited from the sham called election, but started blowing things up because GEJ is now president,the ND militants should wait for GEJ to complete his tenure in 2019, then furiously smash all oil installations, until no oil is produced from the Niger Delta region. Let their President use their groundnut to fund development in Nigeria[/size]
