Seems like you are hell bent on compounding the problem. You want your GMB to make even more mistakes by calling them terrorist.
Your Nigerian Military cannot handle uneducated Boko Haram yet you are proposing that in addition to Boko Haram, they should also fight people now having MSc and PhD in Aerospace Engineering.
My point is that the country and oil sector cannot accommodate any additional crises, it is enough as it is.

And the info I got from an SSS attached to otuoke during GEJ administration is that, new recruitment has started since after the elections. forget weapons, they have even more now.

Hahaha...no body is praying for crisis but they way you hyping these militants is based on sentiments. Nd militants too small for federal government to handle. The worst they can do is to vandalise the pipelines and hide in the creeks (same strategy as bokoharam). But for how long will they continue ?? Do they have the funds to sustain their acts?? even gej told them that they are on their own after he lost. No more free money

Asari 10 million USD per annum salary would stop this October let me see how he will get fundings for weapons thereafter.

pls guys, any latest info on nddc scholarship.

1. I am not hyping them. to consider what I said as hype is arrogance. I have visited the creeks before. asymmetric warfare is more effective when it is carried out by educated people. go n ask people that suffered Boko Haram whether they care if Boko Haram was a match for the Nigerian Military.
2. Where did they get funds to buy weapons the first time?
3. Are you saying someone currently handling the contract to protect oil pipelines is doing so without WEAPONS?
4. or are you saying they don't already have enough money if they need more weapons?

hello guys, Who knows when Mr. Dan Abia's duration as the MD of NDDC would be coming to a wrap.

I'm not disputing the facts that militants Don't have money for ammunitions but I'm telling you that federal government still has the power to cut their source of finance and ammunitions. Take Biafra for example a 3yr war that eneded up just by cutting food supplies, thats the same way militants would surrender at the end but at the detriment of innocent civilians.

The only reason why fg is taking it easy with these insurgents and militants is because of human rights violation/amnesty international. Ask yourself where were these insurgents and militants when obasanjo was civilian President ??

Now imagine what three years of crisis will do to civilians like us living in the Niger Delta, The National Economy and esp the oil sector, when prices are forecasted to stay below &70 per barrel for the next four years.
We have a Spontaneous President, a more educated and financially buoyant Militancy, and a Nigerian Military preoccupied with uneducated Boko Haram. that's the picture. Now is not the time to be fanning flames of crisis with reckless decisions which your OBJ would not take. OBJ established NDDC and against his will ratified resources derivation (which favoured Niger Delta states) because he wanted Peace.
At this point I think I've said too much. Causalities should not be treated lightly. Maybe you want crises because you don't like GMB or because you think the militants don't pose a threat n so their capacity for crises is nonexistent. - I don't know.
What I know however is that I Want Peace, because I love my country above all others. We are currently the twentieth Largest Economy in the world, five years earlier than scheduled by vision 2020. Now imagine where we would have been if GEJ did not have to spend billions of dollars on insecurity.
The truth is that, crisis gulp scarce resources that could be channelled into development and these kind of crises can be resolved peacefully when we have leaders with Cool Heads and Clear Minds devoid of sentiments. The current National Leadership and their Masquerade or Scare Tactics don't fit the bill at all. Until our leaders learn, this viscous cycle of violence will ___.

As soon as pmb appoints a new minister for Niger delta affairs.he might leave since its a political post.

@nuel,

There will always be peace since the fg and cabals have most of their investments in the oil sector. Its only those that do not have anything that would be seeking for crisis.

The only fear I have is that pmb would want to reduce the Niger delta budget which would definitely affect on going schemes and projects.

the man met an empty treasury its only logical that expenditure will b reduced na. They rumours of presidential jets being sold off. Some states haven't paid 9 months salary na. Even if NDDC budget is reduced it shouldn't affect the scholarships n co. Just that the greedy ones would rather the scholarship stop than inflow to their already saturated pockets.

Hmmm. No updates yet.

Okay. I initially thought his duration has a stipulated number of years.

The good news I have is that it didn't affect the scholarship. The bad news is that the list would be out in October. The only thing I'm not cool with why do they ignored the resumption dates??

From where did you get that, or you are just assuming based on last year?

ah.. well, we are stil hopeful

I actually just called the Deputy Director of Education, NDDC and he said the list is still with the Consultant after one month..... Well He said the list will be out 2-3 weeks time, I don't know true this is....Personally, I believe the man just gave me a "media answer" because it actually seem he wanted the call to end quickly.

Lets just keep our fingers crossed.

Its not media answer brother, he only gave you an estimated time you should expect to hear from them. I wasn't predicting mine, I got my info from a staff who works there. The thing is the organizers aren't ready to release the list anytime soon.

There is a reason our constitution provides a time frame for delivery of judgment by a court of law... Justice delayed is justice denied.

This jungle of a country, no man's land. Thank God I have moved on to better things!

Who are the organizers NDDC or the Consultants

Because I seem to be confused now.

Nddc are the organizers. They are the ones with the funds to sponsor successful scholars. They are the ones who also hired the consultant. Therefore they are the ones who have the final say on when the list would be out depending on the availability of funds

@Raywise

I don't think Nigeria is caving in. we are just very impatient, easily swayed by rumours and very bad at choosing leaders. We have seen worse and still remained as one. However, I am not accomplished enough to answer your question on Militancy and Terrorism, So I will like to invite my Friends "CABAYES" and "VECHRIS10" to do the honours.

Especially considering the fact that GMB meet an empty Treasury. I wonder why he expected the Inept GEJ to store money for him.

Raywise:
I read in one of Nigerian newslines last month that Ur new president seek discussion/amnesty with Bokoharamists. I was relieved not until i logged on now...If ur president is planning to give evil sects amnesty on no ground why then did he withdraw amnesty from militants who owns d oil land in debris? I can't juxtapose this friends! Militancy is preferred to terrorism worldwide even though we don't have that with us(ghana)! Honestly, Nigeria is caving in! This is terrible!

My brother, open your eyes. You are on this thread complaining about amnesty for people who are already millionaires and property owners abroad while graduates are here struggling to get 200 partial scholarship from candidates. Just google kano state overseas scholarship and compare what your Niger delta leaders are offering you.
The militants you are fighting for have not contributed anything to the development of the Niger delta yet you want these parasites who have forgotten what they were fighting for to continue collecting illegal money. If you know the amount of money these militants earn + the side runs from federal government you would see reasons why pmb has to stop it.

As for buhari giving amnesty to bokoharam.its his decision to make as the death toll is increasing daily. You dont leave in the north as a disenfranchised citizen (as jega talk am) and you can never tell how desperate they need the same peace you are enjoying. Even the likes of UK and us have not found a solution to it talk less of a border less nigeria

Nice try Cabayes. However
GMB can't use our oil money to settle Boko Haram. The money was not made from selling Cows.
part of the conditions BH gave was they need Muslim President, as in GEJ should turn to Muslim.
GMB was listed as their chief negotiator.
in fact GMB said a war on BH is a war on the north.
So everyone thought that if GMB comes into power, all these will stop. That is why some of my Catholic n other Christian friends in the north either voted for GMB or refused to vote at all.
Now he is in power and e b like say they don enter one chance. they still don't have peace.
The media under GMB completely ignored BH, there was no bring back our girls anymore or the only rally they held under GMB consisted of just 50 people down from 15,000 under GEJ, etc. Check points were removed.
So in order to gain back their media prominence, BH increased their bombing activities.

There is a solution to the problem but it certainly does not involve amnesty for terrorist when you are stopping militants amnesty.
Until GMB tells us the price of Cow in the international market, He should look for better things to do with our oil money.

@Nuel1647

My brother I didn't say that buhari should give them the oil money because gej has basterdized the definition of amnesty... From my understanding amnesty means an official pardon for people who have been convicted of political offenses. But you know you need money to settle them back into the civilian society so that they do not become a nuisance.
Gej did what was best during his own time to bring peace and I can bet you that not all Nigerians were in support of his amnesty package. Today its Buhari turn, let him do what is best for the sake of peace.

Personally, I think this boko haram thing is a scam. The reason is that I cannot see terrorist wasting ammunition without a purpose. If you watch Murray Bruce advert on stv, he was campaigning for Nigerians to allow pMB invest money in for the exploration of oil in the chad basin. He said that Niger and chad have seen evidences of oil which may be the something boko haram are fighting for. They want their own independence which may never happen but if it does, good luck to them.

@cabayes
Thank God you agree our oil money should not be used to settle BH if it should not be used to settle militants.
The difference BTW GEJ and GMB is that GEJ came from an oil producing area, so no one can raise unnecessary eye brows over using oil money to settle youths rendered jobless by reckless oil production that has damaged lives, the environment and other resources.

Your dictionary definition of AMENSTY is immaterial, what you should be checking out is the Yaradua Administration definition of "The AMNESTY PROGRAM". What you think on this issue is irrelevant, you were not part of the people that came up with the definition that the Then President Yaradua and the Millitants agreed too. GEJ simply followed that definition in the five years he ruled, from acting President in February 2010 to May 29 2015. Check ur facts, AMNESTY was not a GEJ initiative.

As a petroleum engineer, I can tell you that Chad exports about 125000bpd of oil through a pipeline that runs through Cameroon. Nigeria has similar potential in that area, but compare that with 2400000bpd from Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom n Bayelsa alone. we call it the creaming curve. it simply means you produce from areas with more potential before considering others; let's not even compare potential reserves. in fact the Delta Soil around ugheli is 14km deep and the deepest well in Niger Delta is just about 6.8km

So if GMB wants to use Lake Chad Oil to settle BH, its up to him. However as it stands Nigeria oil production from lake Chad is 0bpd.
Now if people with the potential to produce say 100000bpd wants to break away,
Why should a region already producing over 2700000bpd stay in Nigeria?

What people don't understand is the level of biko haram. U really think those people will listen to any kind of peace. Don't compare militants and bokoharam. Besides biko haram has claimed alligence with ISIS who have a lotnof cash to fund terroriam. Besides Buhari is a former military man. I doubt if he will planning to give any form of amnesty. That would be a shame.........In others new any gist from NDDC?...
