All because they want more amnesty, bunch of lazy people. They hate to work all to drink to stupor day and night. Before you quote and insult me ask Seriake Dickson, he knows his people better |

sapiosexual1: Hmmm but can u tell me any section of the country that has been left out in appointments? And why do nigerians go extremely tribalistics when it comes to political appointments. Its not as if u have benefitted anything from those appointed from ur village. What is the special benefit u get from such appointment? In my opinion, I think the President has fulfilled all criteria when it comes to appointments by ensuring every region is represented. The entire civil service of the federation is being controlled by a niger deltan. U have NDDC, Ministry of niger delta, amnesty office all dedicated to the niger delta. What more do u want? |

coolzeal: I doubt that it would make a difference. Why? Via the same bloody politicians you have now would still steal all the money. The problem is not more states or regional systems versus state! It's simply because we have useless leaders at every level. |

wordychap: So in short a country should succumb to the will of common criminals?? Are you listening to yourself? I am sure you are educated? So you would rather spend 12 years schooling and then come out of school to be told that national resources that could have got you a job have been used to pay Tompolo and Co? I hope you realize that the problem we have now with kidnapping is because the government negotiated the first time and suddenly of became easy business. Why do you think America doesn't negotiate with terrorists? Let me tell you even if Niger delta seceded today in 30years time nothing would have changed much . Why? The people will still be chanced by their useless political leaders. I have seen several protests to shell, total and agip gate because communities have no water or road. I have never seen a protest to government house for the same agitation. |

wordychap: The first five points dont make sense. By giving contracts to the militants u only empower them more to do havoc - feed fat on the back of the nation while their own people suffer. And with regards to reducing budgets, i am sure u are aware of nigeria's current financial status. All budget has been reduced including allocation to states. So this is not peculiar to any ministry or mda. The amnesty programme is good. But it cant last forever. Especially when the real target were not getting anything out of it. Am sure u are aware of all the allegations against kuku for hijacking the amnesty programme for selfish gains |

COMPAQ:There's a saying, 'you don't change a winning team'. Whatever Yaradua did to achieve peace in ND n GEJ did to maintain peace should have better been left that way or improved upon; getting d oil to run d economy. Tell me it wasn't wrong for buhari to reduce budgets to NDDC, ND ministry, Amnesty? |

Let them continue to destroy their environments, they say ogoni alone will take well about the next 30 years to mop up, what they've just embarked upon now may just take about 50 years to clean up let them continue. |

allthingsgood:>Money from contracts given to ex-militants were used to pay d boys in d creeks to protect the pipelines; and they did a good job of it, oil production was soaring to 2.4 barrels/day.

wordychap: They did a "good job" and one of them bought a war ship?? They did "good job" and one of them threatened the President not to dare return without 2nd term?? Really Have u even thot of the implications of giving billions of naira to armed millitants? Well i guess we are suffering it now. You cant solve a problem by creating a bigger hydra headed monster. These same millitants are so rich now they can afford to do whatever and we are seeing it. If jonathan had fought the problem of illegal bunkering head on rather than pouring money at the same armed bandits,we wont be where we are now |

allthingsgood:How much do you think this contracts were? U think they were in billions of dollars? They were just in few million naira and some of the boys protecting this pipelines were paid N40,000 to N60,000 monthly. You want to compare that with the empowerement the govt HAS been giving d northerners who own oil blocs over the years.? Sorry for u. 1 Like |

brownskindude: Your own brother was there in power for 5 years and in full and total control of oil money...What did he do to benefit your region, his homeland? Your brother could have supervised the greatest development in the ND but sadly the ND is still so poor at least that is why the NDA have taken up arms... Bro, your enemy is not the hausa or yoruba elite...The Niger Delta elite are responsible for the impoverishment of the ND! |
Re: The Niger Delta Avengers: Nigeria's Newest Militants - BBC by efficiencie(m): 7:46pm On Jun 02, 2016 |
Asari, Tompolo and the like were paupers before the amnesty nonsense and after exploiting the fight for regional development (which is legitimate) they accepted to become billionaires with chieftancy titles...instead of pushing for the development of their land...So a new crop of paupers thought to themselves that they can repeat the same feat like Tompolo and Asari. Claim you are figthing for justice and for the people, blow up the revenue source of the nation, hold the nation to ransom, till the incumbent cedes the ND region or apportions total resource control to the militants and ND elite and voila, armed paupers and ND politicians become instant billionaires...poverty shoots up, internal unhealthy competition heats up, inequality reaches astronomical proportions and ND becomes another barren wasteland left for the poor NDs...ofcourse Dubai, US, UK etc will become the new home of the once-upon-a-time militants and elite! Very soon the Niger Delta will have comparative advantage in the exportation of militants...and the weak (women and children) will suffer greatly! |

wordychap: First of all, do u know how much a warship cost?? Pls dont say what u dont know.you are confusing the amnesty programme with the contract to protect pipeline. The money awarded under the contract plus the complete and utter access to siphon crude at will made the niger delta militants some of the richest people in nigeria. This is different from the amnesty programme run by kingley kuku where the repentant militants were to be paid stipends, given scholarships and sent on training abroad. Unfortunately, like all those who had access to funds under jonathan, kuku looted all at will leaving the militants with nothing. |
