Well Niger Delta also has state police funded up to $40million annually.

Yoruba Governors are deceiving themselves if they think other regions are not importing heavy weapons and conventional munitions and training militant groups in increasing measures as we approach 2015.

Other regions are expanding their arsenals we must prepare also let's we suffer loss like d unprepared Biafrans

THE recent  maritime security contract awarded to Chief Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo did not only raised dust amongst politicians and players in the maritime industry, it has also received international condemnation.

The highly respected Wall street Journal about two weeks ago castigated the Nigerian government for patronizing bandits and turning them into billionaires.

The contract which was not thrown up for bidding was facilitated for approval by the management of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety agency (NIMASA) headed by Mr. Patrick Akpobolokemi.

The contract is a form of agreement between the Federal Government and Global West Vessels Specialist Limited which indicates that the security of the nation’s coastal waters by the agreement was concessioned to the firm.

The contract, Akpobolokemi explained that firm will only be paid if and when NIMASA as an entity makes profit due to the company’s intervention in reducing or eliminating the issue of oil theft and piracy on the nation’s coastal waters.

This arrangement does not include the N49.7million paid to Global West Vessels on a monthly for monitoring the waters in Lagos.

The proposal to monitor Lagos waters has been in NIMASA for more than four years as the two previous directors general did not see the need for it.

The promoters of the Lagos angle of the deal proposed that it can offer to monitor the Lagos waters for free, but that N50million be paid to the firm for the fueling of the four or five rickety and smoky boats and pay the boys that will be responsible for the boats which the firm said it donated to NIMASA.

This was about the very first deal that Akpobolokemi approved for Tompolo when he assumed office in December 2011.

As at the time of this report, the said amount of money is still being paid to Global West vessels on a monthly basis.
