President Muhammadu Buhari during his two-day working visit to Kenya has told reporters that his government would treat the Niger Delta militants like Boko Haram insurgents. In a response Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), the militants who claimed responsibility for attacks on the oil and gas facilities, write an open letter to President Buhari, saying that Nigeria is not his property. The militants advise the president to negotiate as military action won’t help to win the oil war.
President Buhari in Kenya


We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to put away the garb of a stooge to the imperialists, whenever he speaks outside Nigeria. We have listened carefully and halted hostilities in the Niger Delta; we expect a genuine and positive attitude to restructuring and self-determination for every component unit of Nigeria.

Dear president, what makes those countries (Japan, Germany, France, USA, Britain etc.) great is the ability of their governments to accommodate internal protestations and conflicts for the greater good of their nations over the years. Please stop presenting your government as pawn to the web of military industrialists complex, whenever you leave the shores of Nigeria.

Nigeria is not a one-man personal property we must have these talks every time if this union must continue to work as one. The people of the Niger Delta have been living here from time immemorial, so we have the secret of the terrain and survival of amphibious operations. No amount of troop surge and simulation exercises will make you win the oil war, you can only win battles. You cannot apply the might of the state to restore the people’s confidence in your leadership when you cannot differentiate between genuine demands and being mismanaged by disorganized characters and tribal lords around you in your government that are playing the court jesters role as well as counting the days that is left in your four years term.
You can deceive the whole world but we cannot be deceived by the so glamorized ongoing military operations in the creeks Of Ijaw communities in the Delta coded ” Operation Crocodile Smiles”… the world should know that with your pronouncement in Kenya and your attitude to the military build up in the Niger Delta, it is crystal clear that the military has nothing less than a pre-determined genocide in Niger Delta and burn more already scared national resources to the pockets of those that have failed to locate the missing Chiboks School Girls.

Conclusively, dear President Muhammadu Buhari please also tell those foreign nations that you are always at ease talking to, while refusing to listen to Nigerians that your troops are about to carrying out extra judicial killings in the Niger Delta in violation of article four of the Geneva Convention with “OPERATION CROCODILE SMILES”.

All sane minds know the meaning of “CROCRODILE TEARS” so by code-naming your military operation CROCODILE SMILES only betrays your motives and attitude to the whole world about the Niger Delta question. The whole world will surely applaud you in The Hague when you leave office! This is not the Nigeria and the world of the 1980s and 1990s under General Sani Abacha and your watch.

If i were to be the leader of this group, I will remain silent and do my mind. This letter will give Buhari mind.

why does it seem to me like NDA is sounding weak in this letter unlike their previous letters where they dared?

Could they have started feeling intimidated? Maybe they have studied the logistics of "CROCODILE-SMILES" and it's way beyond their power.

I stand with NDA though.

Weren't they the same set of people who stated that they'll never dialogue with FG are they afraid of Lt. Gen Buratai?

There are many reasons why vulnerable young people join militant groups, but among them are poverty and ignorance. Indeed Boko Haram - which translates in English, roughly, as 'Western Education Is Sinful' - preys on the perverted belief that the opportunities that education brings are sinful.

Ehhhmmmm guys i think this people know what they are doing..




A frog can not run around in day time for nothing sake..

Hmmm

I am quite sure they have detonated all the bombs and explosives they planted on the pipelines before the inauguration of this government and they saw that there is no way of planting additional ones with the eagle eye security around the installations. this could explain their change of tone to something like surrendering knowing fully well that they already diminished also considering the govt build up with Operation Crocodile Smile. They knew their game is up and also PMB latest statement at the just concluded conference in Kenya is a signal that they aren't going to be tolerated for too long.

Its only a foolish man that will keep doing the same thing and expect a different result,Yaradua/GEJ took a different steps and there government was peaceful,this Dullard wants to create more enemy for the FG,maybe Nigerian Government enjoys seeing there citizens get hurt,they create the enemy by there words and actions still sends military men to them to slaughter them.
