Ur analogy is wrong, because in this case the son owns the shop

...my analogy is not wrong bro...the son neva owned any shop...he was just opportune to see himslf in the shop...nw relate it to naija delta...they are opportune to hv d oil buh it's still nigeria under one leadership...

onatisi:
so when a son does that the next thing for the father to do is to start fighting the son back right inside the shop and destroy everything else ,abi?
No problem. Everybody go reason soon

...mind u, the father had endured much from the son...so when he has no option left than to scatter d shop...he does so...he has nothing to loose...being an old man he is...Na d son e go affect pass

Anybody clapping for buhari must re-think. I don't know why he resorted to militarization of SS instead of dialogue.
The economy is almost crippled. We don't need this right now! He should realize that those countries selling those stuffs will sell same to militants...
Oil price increases while we fight and kill ourselves.
Common sense is not common I tell you. If Buhari cannot steer this ship...he should honourably resign!

Nigeria is broke

So after bombing and possibly killing all the militants (which is very unlikely), what happens. Is it not obvious that Nigeria is heading towards a second civil war which might not end like the first one ? A wise man once said that " It's better to jaw jaw than to war war ". The unity of Nigeria cannot continue to be by conquest because therein lies all our problems.

I dnt knw f its jus me... Cuz i think the federal government are jus trying to show off or should i say impose cheap treats on the militants..... Which wont be a good thing cuz the militants will also be preparing themselves for war...... And i wont be surprised f the militants also have fighter jet..... During the last armnesty program there were militants given scholarship to study piloting abroad...

MrCounselor:
Ok then, When are we going to start making anything Nigerian?

Nigerian military does have home made drones!

na so jet take easy to get?
Read that those yahbon drones can be watching you for days at over 20,000 feet

HtwoOw:
Now that's making sense

I bet creek rats will scamper for safety

Not so bro. Dialogue is the answer. Have you ever been to the creeks? Don't stay upland and say what you don't know. Their will be casualties on both sides.

shiziope:
FG dey fail well

ARE U A MILITANT? HIANN!

Well it seem like terrorist has shifted their tents from Sambisa to ND.
No amount of negotiations can yield fruitful result cos the only language a terrorist understand is violance. Thats why most advance countries of the world has a principle of No negotiation with terrorists.!
Who amnesty epp?

antispexish:

Cool then.

How well are they carrying knowledgeable Nigerians along?
Some Nigerians can do well, have the skills but are just not
courted nor giving the enablement to help solve Nigeria problems,
especially using technology.

Does that need this much publicity, if they really mean business! I don't think they would be breaking any rule by destroying the destroyers of the economy, would they?

Love Machine:
If he did that, Northern politicians would accuse him of marginalisation.You know he was building almajinri schools for bokoharam so that they would not be brainwashed by the sultan and emir of kano.Instead they were ungrateful.

At the end of the day, he ended up as the most timid, corrupt and confused president Nigeria ever had. PMB is teaching him a good lesson on how to rule and favor his region. The money that should have been used to build the second niger bridge and develop the south South was distributed to his selected friends as supervised by Dasuki

Wasting resources on unnecessary things while the masses are dieing of hunger ,stupid admistration.

babyfaceafrica:
maybe,maybe not...but amnesty in the first place is a fraud that should never have started

it shouldnt hve oo,pple be complaining that the pple of that region hav nothing to show fr whereas the govt hav bn pumping money to nddc 4 long nd 4 wat reason,moreover their elders are d real thieves. Let d bombing begin afteral there cannt be peace without war!

LoveMachine:


You've missed my point because you want to argue. Militancy and aggression from the armed forces is futile. Physical confrontation is only a lasting resolution if genocide is the goal. Any survivors will have animosity.

What needs to occur is legit development and honest negotiations.

I'm not talking about Dasukigate. Im talking about the Niger Delta that feeds the national coffers and yet suffers. I'm talking about the people who have crude in their streams but no PMS at their pumps. If they even have gas stations.

A people who have been pushed to the wall will behave in ways that the next man could never fathom. I'm praying for peace because they are not playing any games in the creeks. People come online and spout off jokes as if these guys haven't already dented our yearly revenue. It can get downright tragic if they so choose. Diplomacy is the best way forward for all.

Gov't must set pride aside and make it right. All the tough talk is useless.

If I may ask, what prompted this latest round of vandalism and terrorism?
Was there any provocation from the govt?
Were any reasonable steps employed by the militants and rebuffed by the govt before this latest madness?

razortruth:
No need, I just read in vanguard newspaper that the so called avengers have surrendered and want dialog. My question has been, why can't that so called avengers attack their brother Jonathan who spent over six years in Aso rock drinking and sharing money to his selected friends instead of developing niger delta and his follow follow South East?

dnt mind those creek rats

no u should av asked him dat during d tym oil was discovered in dat region where did d govt raised funds inorder 2 start d exploration and building of refineries? Was it nt thro agriculture?

revolt:
I thought the idea was to mitigate or stop the bombing of pipelines,I'm curious here but wen these gunships engage the militants, will their missiles only destroy flesh and leave the pipes? I think its same thing! The pipes still get blown ! My thots

i was thinking about this too...if you blow up the militants,wouldnt you blow up the pipelines too??...that you have to repair again??..



very tricky wan...i would just take out the,oil from the south-south,from the national budget and only manage what we have......

all oil-companys in the world should be prohibited from making business with the militants....

then,,,,we can start blowing up everything...

MrCounselor:

making a drone is easy, but making it do the things required for military is very hard.

We don't have the technology to see you thousands of kilometres away in the air in the day, talk less of in the night like some drones can.
We don't have the technology yet to hear what you are saying kilometres away like some is real drones can.
We don't have the technology to lock on and destroy a moving target(runaway militant)

watched a video of Nigerian military aircraft(don't know it's it's a drone) watching troops on ground moving , and the troops on ground now making a video of the aircraft flying overhead. knew there and then that we still have a long way to go, bcus u are not supposed to see a drone flying and watching you!, you are not supposed to know it's their!

you're correct fighter jets are not easy to get.... Are war ships and submarines easy to get when tompolo purchased them to fight against the federal government.... The problem with the fg is that they underestimate little fire until it turns into a MOUNTAIN OF FIRE

a drone can wait till you leave the pipeline area before it blows you to bits, it can even wait till you go back to your wife and children and blow up the militants present and future generation at once.
A drone can identify you, follow you and point your hideout or home to ground forces for arrest

LoveMachine:
Militants blow up pipelines and now Money that could go towards development goes towards security. Militants get angry at the lack of development and start blowing things up. See the endless cycle?

i know you think you sound smart but have you asked yourself which ofblowing up pipelines and spending development money is the chicken and the egg?

1. This cycle of yours would not have started if there were adequate development efforts, and

2. it could be stopped quite simply, if the FG would, in response to the blowing up of pipelines (which is a legitimate form of civil disobedience), resist the urge to respond with violence, and channel the funds for weapons into the development they were meant to do in the first place.

When you see a forward thinking leader you will know. It seems the ex soldiers who ventured into politic the only language they understand is to use brutal forc to achieve their aim. This approach has never worked. Obosanjo used it in Odi after the wanton day struction of lives and property the brigand is still moving freely yer it hasnt stoped miiltancy.

Meanwhile, Yaradua employed a different tactics and there was peace. GEJ applied same principle to boko but these same people frustrated it.
Soldiers should just face their constitutional duty and leave politics alone. Theirs is always to spill innocent blood.

I don't believe this news show me picture

I put enablement in my earlier comment,
You can't tell me Nigerian authority don't have enough finance to "import technology"
We have enough man-power to sustain anything we can think of.

Drone is not actually rocket science, not is building a telescopic sight into drones
the main problem but that we love finding the excuses to cut-corners on everything.
Many countries were worse than Nigeria 50years ago are now at the forefront of
tech advancement in any diverse forms in the world today.

Technology is not excatly about heavy machinery, its more about tooling
knowledgeable people and personnel and creativity and enabling environment.
You know how many Nigerians (yes, Nigerians) at the forefront of research
centers away from Nigeria esp The US?

Are their brains reformatted with chips over there? No!!!
They simply find good nest to perch and they are just doing their normal thing
with their natural endowment, brain.
Thinking Nigeria is backward because we do not have enough is a far cry from reality.
We just are not doing things the right way.

the problem is..would the money be channeled to the right people??...noo,,,jonathan tried it,a few became very wheahlty,like tokumbo...
the area still stayed underdeveloped....


the militants are lazy criminals that hijacked the control of the south-south....

so given disgrunted elements money in order to passify them is a good tactics?....people will get greedy and want more ,that's life...amnesty is a fraud that should not have started.

Most of the time,I wonder if its necessary for the defense and intelligence units of the military to expose this kind of information to the public domain.I thought there should be some element of secrecy and surprise in other to achieve better results.

That is still the fault of the FG. They gave those people money, not to develop the area, but to secure peace and the flow of oil. Until genuine development efforts take place, the masses of the Niger Delta will continue to support militancy, whether or not the upper echelon of the militant groups are self serving or not.
