Niger Delta Avengers Marks Children's Day by solar2005(m): 3:50pm On May 27, 2016
On Children's Day in Nigeria, a militant group targeting energy groups in the Niger Delta said it would deliver more to the nation's youth than the government. A group calling itself the Niger Delta Avengers said the children of Nigeria have been sidelined by successive Nigeria governments. The group, which has been critical of the Nigerian government's policies in the Niger Delta, said childhood should be a time of opportunity.

"This is what the Nigeria government has refused to give you the children of the Niger Delta," spokesman Mudoch Agbinibo said in a statement. "But what they have refused to give to you is what we are promising you." A report from UNICEF finds Nigerian data on children reveal a "shocking" amount of violence. About half of all children in Nigeria are exposed to violence, including sexual violence, at some point in their lives. That data prompted the government in Abuja to declare a year of action meant to end violence against children.

The Niger Delta Avengers have launched a steady string of attacks on energy infrastructure in the region, issuing a manifesto earlier this month that warned oil companies the attacks marked only a beginning. The group said it was frustrated by what it saw as a lack of attention to the region paid by Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari. Nigeria's oil-dependent economy has struggled under the strains that have emerged since crude oil prices first dropped below the $100 per barrel mark in 2014.

According to UNICEF, the decline in crude oil prices has hampered the Nigeria economy, pushing public sector salaries lower. "As efforts to restructure the economy away from over-reliance on oil is medium term, the economic situation in 2016 remains bleak," it said.

BIAFRA or NIGERIA MEANS POVERTY WITHOUT SOUTH SOUTH OIL


The current activity of Niger Delta Avengers have clearly proven that the North or West don't care if South east leave Nigeria. All the one Nigeria supporters cares about is South South oil.

Also BIAFRA agitators don't want BIAFRA without South South oil. Give them South East alone Biafra, they will prefer to remain in Nigeria than form a country that is south east alone.

Nigeria govt was never shakened or moved with all the massive protest for Biafra in the south east. Nigeria Economy was not moved or shaken with all the protest in Aba, Onitcha etc in South east. This clearly shows south east are not very important economically in Nigeria. They are mostly into distribution of goods and not creation of wealth. Importation of foreign goods and goods distribution does little to income of the federation. They rather deplete the reserve than add to the reserve of the country.

But a small group in Niger delta who have not even enjoyed large support from Niger Delta people is already making Nigeria bleed.
Imagine when Niger Delta people decide to protest for Niger delta republic the way South east people have been protesting for Biafra?

This clearly shows only South South is feeding this country Nigeria.

North, South East and South west are mostly parasite who contribute very little to Nigeria and take much.

So when Igbo Shout Biafra it simply means they want to cut off North and Yoruba so dat they become the only parasite to South South.
When North Shout one Nigeria it means they want to be part of the parasite.

My position: It is very unfair for south south alone to be feeding the whole country. With the other 5 geopolitical zone contributing little.
All the other five regions (NE, NW, NC, SW and SE) must contribute their share to the Nigeria state.
If the other five region fail to do this, I clearly support Niger Delta Republic with south south alone.
Thus if Nigeria wont work, let:

North West and North East form Islamic Republic
North Central form Middle Niger Republic
South East Form Biafra
South West form Odua Republic
South South form Niger delta Republic.

This is the best solution to this country with 5 parasite feeding on one 1 prey.

It is unfair and evil.
