Why Abuja and why today? Terrorism 101 - every TV station in the nation would be there, foreign dignitaries would be there, and Her Majesty's government would send a low ranking diplomat to grace the failure of Lord Lugard's creation.

This has generated more news than all the MEND activities in the last 10 years put together. Unfortunately the result is the re-engagement of the Joint Task Force and the extra - judicial killings that result when the Army is used to do police work.

oyb:

all mend have done is cemented their image in the eyes of the western media as terrorists

they have also confirmed the worst fears of those us state department wonks who predict nigeria will soon fail. i am now very afraid - boko haram, armed robbers , kidnappers,  mend - a bad mix of criminals and domestic terrorists and a security apparatus that is only good at shaking down the citizenry

which way forward?  

slap1:

Let's all have a rethink. In the Aba debacle we blamed T.A Orji, not the kidnappers. Why are we now blaming MEND. MEND is responsible for this attack, but the security officers are to blame

oweniwe:

If my papa use money for my school fees go marry another wife, i no go sidon look. I go talk, i go fight. Money for infrastructure, leaders de chop and we de keep quiet. Why can't we get up and fight for our rights in this country? No light, no water, bad roads, bad economy, inefficient security system, corrupt public institutions. . . EVERYTHING is bad. Rather than get up and condemn the leaders, UNA DE TAKE STYLE DEFEND THEM. When boko haram was busy killing people in the north, wetin the leaders do? When kidnappers de kidnap, wetin the leaders do? Don't hate the player, hate the game. Leave MEND alone jor.

So the innocent people that were killed are the related to the thieving politicians, how?

MaziUche0:

I doubt that though. MEND has not been classified as a terrorist organization. If an organization has nothing to do with Islam, then the West will not consider it a terrorist organization.

dude quit the almadeijad moment, please

slap1:

MEND will strike again and we'll all fire curses at them. HOW ABOUT THOSE PAID TO PREVENT THIS KINDA poo? And the fact that these guys gave a fore warning breaks my heart.

I guess the West would call it REBELLION or VIOLENT/DEADLY PROTEST.

We need revolution in order to move this country forward. the revolution certainly needs to be started by certain people. In every history of revolutions all over the world, the innocent usually suffer casualties. This notwithstanding, perhaps the much awaited revolution would be started by MEND. For MEND to have such audacity as to carry out bombing in Abuja on a day such as this, such action is pregnant with meaning and to which Nigerian leaders and security apparatus need to find answers and decipher meaning.

Hamid O:

We definately have security problems in this country but would u capitalize on dat 2 harm an innocent person MEND should just come out and tell us the Anti-GEJ using them 4 political reasons and stop claiming they r fighting for the people of the Niger delta.

Hamid O:

@Maziuche or wat do u call urself,  u don't support negativity all in the name of trying 2 be a popular guy on Nairaland. u hv never spoken sense since I joined Nairaland. Wat if your father or mother was killed 2day?

MaziUche0:

oyb,

Just shut up you illiterate buffoon. I am getting tired of you.

soldee:

It will be truly ironic if a Niger Delta President will have to give the order to flush MEND out, Biafra-style. What a bunch of monkeys. Because they're rantings have been tolerated they think they can match the might of the Nigerian military? If not for the fact that their membership is 'zoned' they would have been exterminated long ago with no allusions to tribalism!! GEJ pls flush out these creek rats and empower the real ND people, not brigands!!

oyb:

retard -  theres no need to get started on you - we all know you for what you are, a schizophrenic dolt who reads but does not understand , listens, but does not hears sees but is stone blind.

why don't you butt out of this thread and find your way to the sort of watering hole that suits the goat droppings in your head that pass for a brain  - blaming all the woes in iboland on nigeria or the ngwa  

bloody dolt running his mouth from the safety of the us - come down to abj . biatch  

MaziUche0:

Who said I support MEND? A predominately Ijaw organization. I lean towards the Ndi Igbo and Ibibio, not these Ijaw organizations.

Simply raised the issue and said that they sent out a warning. Most organizations of that nature do not give warnings.
