People have pushed me into MEND's corner.

Odi (Entire town) destroyed. . . no wahala

A few bombings. . .  A lot of wahala

Buffoons on crack. . . You reap what you sow.

Stay out of this. I do not know how you got into this conversation and people have called you out for wanting to argue for the sake of arguing so just shut the hell up you hermaphrodite.

Again Grow up and stop throwing tantrums like an illiterate tout/Agbero. It gets really old!

Ibime:

My main problem with this action is that it doesn't have groundswell base support in Niger Delta. I cannot think of the rationale behind this except its somehow linked to elections.

As for those asking "what do these people want", if the true MEND is behind this, then I refer them to Rotimi Williams statement that "The constitution lied against itself ab initio by the opening statement of We the People". Those who forgot what the Niger Delta kerfuffle is about should remember that AMNESTY was never an end goal but constitutional review, fiscal federalism and land rights.

As for this bombing, its ill-advised, a PR disaster and has no moral basis considering that most Niger Deltans are presently focussed on getting Jonathan over the finishing line and want no trouble at this stage. All this could be linked to elections as Otokx opined, otherwise the only other explanation is that Henry Okah is an obdurate single-minded modafucka. No further comment till more evidence comes to light.



dude , no vex - but who are the true MEND?

Live on Nairaland! The exhibition of idiocracy, ignorance and extremely selfish thinking of my fellow Nigerians that play a huge part to the lack of growth in my country, Ride on, the world is laughing!
Re: Mend Strikes As Threatened, 7 Confirmed Dead by Beaf: 4:58pm On Oct 01, 2010
It was a sad loss of life.
It seems doubtless that the attack was carried out by the real MEND, because they have replied to emailed questions.

MEND is claiming responsibility,” Jomo Gbomo, a spokesman for the group, said in an e-mailed response to questions today. The militants “regret any loss of life, which could have been prevented if the authorities had not ignored our warning and evacuated the area when they had ample time to do so,” he said.

And for those who argue ortherwise, MEND is NOT classified as a terrorist group anywhere in the West. For example, they are simply classified as a group of interest by the US state dept.

You seriously need to get out of that revenge shell you're in. It's disgusting.

How can you excuse the murders because of what happened in Odi? Eledumare o!

sad Really sad!!! There's the good, the bad and yet to come, the very ugly outcome in the course my country is taking.

# Hmmm, a wise man once said:

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants, "

If by the mere force of numbers a majority (Nigerian Government & Family) should deprive a minority (everyone else) of any clearly written constitutional right, it might, in a moral point of view, justify revolution - A revolution knocks Nigeria, will you answer without much more costly prices to pay?
---May the souls of the lost ones rest in eternal peace.
cryAMEN

stop quoting things you dont understand.


did you stop to ask yourself what patriots refers to here?

think before you type.

let you and MEND be ready to shed your blood for your cause then.

havent seen that in your cowardly hideouts so far.

you have never tangled with me. what other delusions are running through that mpd box you call a brain?

i have noticed your infantile attempts to attempts at purvey yourself as some sort of ibo rennaisance  intellectual, but i have never paid attention to you in the past.


i understand that you are the failed abortion of a two bit LovePeddler who was gang despoiled by a bunch of syphilitic midgets, but i won't hold the fact that you were born mad against you

DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF INSULTING ANY OF MY FAMILY AGAIN,  you misbegotten product of a failed withdrawal method

Two wrongs do not make a right. Let us all condemn this MEND action same as we condemned Odi bombing.

I was a MEND supporter till today.
Re: Mend Strikes As Threatened, 7 Confirmed Dead by yemitide(m): 5:02pm On Oct 01, 2010
I said the majority of organizations. . . NOT ALL. Can't people understand English. Of course the Basque separatist group is considered a terrorist organization by some, but actually I support their movement as well.

Hmm, I'd like to hear your reasons for supporting this terrorist organisation. Go ahead.

The Lords Resistance Army is considered a terrorist organization, and they are a rebel group that operate within the DRC, Sudan and Uganda. The supporter of APC are considered a terrorist organization. Even Boko Haram is considered a terrorist organization. MEND is not. Do you wonder why?

Which countries have listed Boko Haram as a terrorist organisation. With actions like this, MEND is positioning itself to become a terrorist organisation. If they get classified as a terrorist organisation, it'll definitely hurt them because few international organisation would want to talk with them and the Nigerian government would get international support to pursue them at all costs including violence.

Not true! I know it is classified as a terrorist group in 2 or 3 Western Countries (I'll have to check to be specific). I dont know if ure right about the U.S, but I bet u after today its classification will change!

You have a buffoon who wants the complete annihilation of the Niger Delta. That hits close to home. This bast-ard needs to be shot on sight.

I might not see eye to eye with Beaf on many occassion, but I am on Beaf's side on this issue. The loss of life is very sad indeed, MEND should have attacked another venue.
Re: Mend Strikes As Threatened, 7 Confirmed Dead by tpiah: 5:04pm On Oct 01, 2010
My Intel mind is telling me that MEND is not behind this act

after jomo ponmo sent an email?

they are very much behind this act, and working for foreign interests.

i wont say more.

Re: Mend Strikes As Threatened, 7 Confirmed Dead by Ibime(m): 5:06pm On Oct 01, 2010
@ Oyb,

I only say "if its the true MEND" cos I don't discount some political shenanigans by enemies of GEJ.

Trust if its the true MEND, I make no apologies. I have never distanced myself from armed struggle. My grouse is not that innocent lives were lost because there will always be casualties. My only grouse is that this action has no support in the Niger Delta.
Re: Mend Strikes As Threatened, 7 Confirmed Dead by Kilode1: 5:06pm On Oct 01, 2010

That was my first thought. But it's been hours and they've not denied anything. so they probably did it.

I'm more saddened by the thought of John Campbell[ George Bush's Nigeria Troll] smiling and gloating wishing this will turn into a war so his resume can be boosted a lil bit more.

I hope we don't fall into the trap.

I also see Big Oil rejoicing over all these, after all war or no war, the drilling will continue as long as they settle the right folks.  Hopefully this won't lead to more suffering for innocent Nigerians. I still maintain this is a Senseless Act.

There is nothing revolutionary about a bunch of thugs without a straightforward ideology unleashing mayhem on innocent people.

This whole thing smells of a deeper conspiracy, I hope I'm very wrong and my "Mary-Jane" is just good like that. . .

Oyb; abeg e don do   Maziuche; biko. We have more important issues to argue about.

Mr MEND spokesman, what was the rationale behind this action?

do you really think the rest of the world will continue to look at MEND as a 'group of interest' if they keep this up?

He can excuse today's event because [b]we all [/b]excused Odi, Maidugri, Jos, and need I go on? If we all accept the Nigerian Army becoming Judge, Jury, and Executioner in the name of "security" then we should not feign disgust when MEND utilizes those same tactics to bring attention to their cause.

And to think South African police just raided Henry Okah's home in SA at 3.00am last night after a tip-off from FG; the raid met him in his mansion with his wife and kids. By the way whats he doing maxing and relaxing in SA? Isn't there supposed to be a 'struggle' on ground?

Yes, the issue is why should be celebrating Nigeria. Is the country worth celebrating? This act was a travesty indeed, but the Nigerian military and police commits such atrocities every day.

MEND are not fighting for the Niger Delta they are fighting for themselves. If they are truely fighting for Niger Delta have they ever used the money payed to them from ransom to do something in their community . all the money they have gotten from illegal bunkering and ransom are for their pockets
