16 Days To Pack Out Of Bonny Island Or Be Beheaded By Millitants by scantee(m): 5:03pm On Jul 01, 2008
Please can some one help me.

I am one of the victim that is experiences the anarchy of situation in bonny island.

I am a resident of bonny island, because i work at the oil and gas industry there.
But i am a non indigene of the island.

We have been given an order to pack out of the island on or before 16th july,2008 or beheaded.

This order was given by the millitant group on sunday, after an attack by the group which claim 8 lives, 4 army men, 3 petty traders and a pregnant woman. On that faithful sunday afternoon.

But the worst of the whole situation is that there is no way to leave the island.
People who try to leave the island where attacked by the same group and butchered them like a goat.

The only way to leave the island is through flying boat. Which must follow the sea that leads to port-harcourt.

But the millitant group where camp in the sea,

hungry is about to finish us here due to no way to bring in foods from p.h.

A cup of rice here is at cost of n190 naira garri n95 indomie small pack of n30 is now n150 naira.

The worst is that people are no more selling it out, they are now keeping it as there own food.

Please i dont know what to do, if some body can help us and plead with government to come to our rescure, by providing us a choper to convey us out of the island.

Please this boys are really serious to bomb the island. Shell, NLNG , and other companies here are about to shut down there systems.

All the expatriates has left the island back to their various countries.

Even now i am writing down this thread, this there is no movement in the island, all banks has shut down.

Please friends help me out of this.

Thanks
god will bless you.

I expect your positive replies

I appreciate your plight, but this has got nothing to do with romance but in response to your post, why don`t you try alerting the relevant security agencies as fast as possible,that could be a start, alongside prayers.

@ Studentetc

is true that oil company provides choper for their staffs, but is only for the senior staffs, i am not a senior staff in the company, so i dont have the orportunity to enter the chop.

Do u expect them to use public address system or go on air to tell the people to leave.
Me thinks this is not a rumour and should be taken seriously.
Re: 16 Days To Pack Out Of Bonny Island Or Be Beheaded By Millitants by abdurrazaq(m): 10:53am On Jul 02, 2008
I have a brother in the Bonny Island. I just called him now to confirm the story narrated by scantee, he told me that there are rumours of such threat from the Militants and some even claimed to have read it in the Nigerian Tribune. The price of food items there now is very high now, the banks have stopped their operations.

My brother told me that UBA opened yesterday but couldn't operate for the whole day due to news of the approach of the militants.

What I'm saying in a nut shell is that Scantee is not lying at all. Though, there appear to be peace at where my brother is may be it is because he is not anywhere near the oil companies. Not that they are completely freed of fear bacause he told me that gun shot is now normal everyday now since the beginning of the crisis.

The Federal Government should do something fast before things finally get out of hand. sad

Re: 16 Days To Pack Out Of Bonny Island Or Be Beheaded By Millitants by scantee(m): 7:33pm On Jul 02, 2008
@izeek

You can take speedboat straight from Bonny to Port-Harcourt. It is only 45 minutes. My popsie used to fly there by chopper in the morning and come home to PH by 'flying boat' at night. Although with all the militants on the water now, I don't know if this service is still open to non-Ijaws.

Surely your company should handle your evacuation?
Re: 16 Days To Pack Out Of Bonny Island Or Be Beheaded By Millitants by abdurrazaq(m): 1:53pm On Jul 03, 2008
The only thing to do now is to keep on praying for quick resolution of this war crisis. Imagine people without food for days. My brother had not eaten as at the time I called him yesterday and his friend has a new baby. How will such a baby and his mother be fed in the midst of crisis of this nature. The truth is that both Indigenes and Non-indigenes are now trapped and only God knows their fate. My senior colleague in office called his friend in NLNG, he told him that almost all the Bonny Indigenes are militants now which means the lives of non-indigenes are in danger. He also confirm the report that there is scarcity of food and that he was only lucky to have some foodstuff at home. May this be resolve soon sad

@Scantee
My prayers are with you. DO not cease to call unto the Lord Almighty and keep abreast of news and stay safe. Also let us know how things are going.
@abdurrazaq
Kudos for taking time to check this story out
Re: 16 Days To Pack Out Of Bonny Island Or Be Beheaded By Millitants by otokx(m): 2:08pm On Jul 07, 2008
I spoke with my friend who stays in NLNG camp at bonny yesterday and she did not mention anything; guess she goes there by chopper though. Hope the militants don't start using RPG to bring down the choppers. The federal government better embark on massive infrastructural development or better just watch as the place turns to another thing. Believe you me those guys have the full support of the people on ground in the villages where the environment is being devastated.
