Interesting times are upon us!

I swear. Think I'm going to dig out my red passport and slip quietly off for the summer!!

•   This attack in Lagos outside Niger Delta lends credence to the claim of MEND that it would carry the attack to Northern Nigeria, the claim which has triggered reactions from the North. If any part of the North is attacked  the country may witness a mini civil war. Already MEND has advised  indigenes of Niger Delta resident in the North to return home.

I believe that the FG and the regions benefitting from the current corrupt system still have enough time to sit down and negotiate. This is 2009.

The stupid cowards should stop blowing pipelines when people r asleep. Whyt dnt they try taking their greivances 2 abuja where their money is being shared or better still start blowing up the political crooks.
FOOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you will be slipping off, I will be bouncing in.

Dang, MrsB you have a serious inside track on the breaking news here.  How can we be sure you are not typing these details from a hideout in the swamps near Epe ?

Confirmation of the attack:

Attack on Atlas Cove on Sunday night:

• Attack was carried out by MEND faction loyal to Tom Polo, one of MEND'S factional leaders.
• According to intelligence report the men first assembled  in EPE , a town situated on river bank about fifty kilometers from Lagos.They had consultations with some groups presumably their kiths and kins, the Ijaws and carried out reconnaissance of Lagos waterways.
• They finally attacked the Atlas Cove in the night killing a Navy Lt. Commander, two Naval ratings and two civilians ,all were on duty in Atlas Cove,
• Ten civilians were wounded and are being hospitalized.
• Attackers came in three to four speed boats, heavily armed and tried to gain access to the facility but were repelled by gunfire from the Navy. They blew up the manifold and pipeline conveying refined petroleum, causing mighty  conflagration
• The fire was put out in the morning and repair work has commenced
• It is believed that the men have not left Lagos coast and may attack the facility again or carry out attacks on Government facilities or oil facilities
• This attack was not directed at any particular oil company, but oil and companies are advised to review their security countermeasures to ensure that their facilities are protected
• Expatriates are advised to consider suspending their trips to the beach, as some kidnappings could be carried out
• Personal security should be given attention
• It is reported that Sunday attack was provoked by the trip of the Attorney -General of the Federation and Minister of Justice to Sao Tome and Principe instead of hastening the presidential directive that Henry Okah, leader of MEND should be released.
• This attack in Lagos outside Niger Delta lends credence to the claim of MEND that it would carry the attack to Northern Nigeria, the claim which has triggered reactions from the North. If any part of the North is attacked  the country may witness a mini civil war. Already MEND has advised  indigenes of Niger Delta resident in the North to return home.

where are the NL arm chair war mongers now? didnt some of us predict this when these boys started

@ mrsb

What is this source of this 'confirmation of the attack'?

Hi everybody from Yoruba Land, I think we need to get our very own Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) militant ready and equip them with every possible equipment, if possible missile and Nuclear bomb ready for them cause I think this crazy MEND and foolish MOSSAB people wants civil war. We need to let them know we are ready for them anytime any day. Once they attack us once will should retaliate 20 times, like if they kill 10 from us. The OPC go straight down to Niger-delta to kill 1000 people simple then they will stop this crazy and Unless attack on Yoruba Land. Those stupid retarded bastards are afraid of the North because they are aware th Northern people are ready for WAR anytime any second. THANK YOU Everyone and Bleep every one from Niger-Delta that support the attack in Lagos. Maybe we should start Killing Niger-Delta living in Lagos then see who will be the great Loser.

Nice one! Well said!

You are so blinded by the irrational hate that you fail to see the big picture. How does MEND attacking a FG installation mean an attack on Yoruba land? Does Atlas Cove belong to you?

Well If you can, you can begin to fight your fellow masses while the men responsible for your poverty clink their champagne glasses in Abuja and sell your future to the highest bidder!

You dey mind the guy.he does not even know atlas cove belongs yo FG and not LASG.

Whether Atlas Cove Jetty belong to FG or the state government is totally irrelevant, the fact that they brought the attack to YORUBALAND is enough reason to start protecting yORUBALAND from these type of attacks going forward.
Next time they blow up the Third Mainland brigde and some fools will still come and say it's FG property and Yoruba should keep quiet.

When the handshake starts getting pass the elbow, na kungfu be that.

@asha 80

The guy is just the typical Nigerian that sees a different tribe as the cause of his problem and not the ruling elite that have ruled this country since 1963. This elite consists of men from all tribes and plunder our resources daily yet it shocks me that Nigerians cannot see this but still see murdering members of an entire tribe as the thing that will give them electricity, good roads, hospitals and clean water to drink.

Ignore the 'Yoruba' poster as he is nothing but a distraction.

MEND's attack on oil infrastructure ANYWHERE in Nigeria is legitimate since without oil revenue, most/all of these facilities would not be in place.

Till the government resolves the issues and deals with the issues with sincerity, the MEND attacks should continue.

How do u explain this to the OPC boys (barely literate), they have taken this as a slap on their face, an attack in their backyard and they are gathering for repraisal
Seriously MEND was wrong

Who says they have taken this as 'a slap on their face'? Who says they are gathering for 'repraisal'?

How many of them even know what was attacked since they are 'barely literate'? Who are they gathering to attack in reprisal? MEND? Do they know where MEND is located? Can they navigate the creeks of the Delta to attack?

Do you even know if the individuals killed were of Yoruba origin or from elsewhere?

Let them gather for reprisal if they want - the hoodlums will simply be annihilated by MEND.

MEND just proved that they can also take the fight far away from N/delta.

I dont see them stopping anytime soon since what the stupid politicians in Abujah will do is to send more JTF down to N/delta instead of facing the fact that these people are being cheated.

It is true that Nigeria is one country.
I agree and i believe we can become greater if we get united and work together.
But as it stands now, some people up north believe that they were born to rule.
And yet their barren land brings nothing to the table for the Federal Govt except onions and groundnut.
Yet they were born to rule. well its time to rule onions and groundnuts.
They live in past glories as if 1960 is 2009.
People are getting wiser everyday.
It's a shame that there is no more Abacha to order killings of prominent Niger-Delta citizens.
The big picture is coming and trust me when i tell you that Aso Rock is not safe too.

I am still very furiuos as to why Govt should cut education funds and health Funds to build Abuja Roads.
I remember it was the -10000 man march in Abuja organized by Abacha and his group that gave birth to MEND.

People from Niger Delta who went to the March saw what oil money was doing in Abuja
While nothing was being done where the oil comes from.
The last time i went to Eleme in Rivers state, the only significant structure i can remember seeing was a tall flame discharge pole and armed soldiers. While Abuja is being transformed into a modern City.

I will support MEND and every other group that fights for their rights in the British trap called Nigeria.

Dont be blinded by hatred and tribalism.
Those who attacked the atlas cove are fighting for a cause.
Some people from Yoruba could have been among them.
Not to destroy Yoruba properties but that of the Federal Govt.
Meanwhile dont decieve yourself with OPC and repraisal.
They cant step out of Yorubaland to attack anybody.
MEND has much more sofisticated weapons and
are more determined to deal with anybody that
stands in their way to achieve what they want.
Remember the federal govt released Henry Okah Hours after MEND attacked them.

I think MEND is the most pathetic group of sociopathic cowards that Nigeria ever threw up. You want to make a statement go to Abuja , not crawl around inside rivers at night exploding knockout.

You just stated my mind. You are a hero. Let them go to Kano, Kaduna. Lagosians are peaceful people and are too
busy developing their own state with the various taxes from tax payers.

becoomrich:

Ow11, igbo man , Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) militant are not that stupid, they would not attack MEND or go to anywhere to attack MEND.  People like you are trying to create confusion to make OPC to fight MEND. it would not happen. Dont waste your time.

I think you missed my post. How did you guess I was Igbo? Maybe I am even Efik or Tiv? Did that ever occur to you?

Knockouts that have killed 11 people!   The FG should take care of its people and stop playing chess with our lives!
