Nigeria loses over $50 million daily from organized
crude oil theft....here is the how and why by an
Ex-Militant.....sad, very sad....
The Confessions of A Young Oil bunkerer: Why Oil
theft will continue as a result of the fraud in the
Presidential Amnesty Office
Ebikeme (not real name) successfully attended the
Amnesty Orientation Camp at Obubra in Cross
River State some years ago.
Almost three years after, he has not been pencilled
down for any of the Presidential Amnesty
Programme's Skills/Vocational Training
Programmes and so he had no choice but fall to
the advice of a friend who wanted him to join a
lucrative oil theft racket with a heavy but covert
presence in the Southern Ijaw area of Bayelsa
State.
Ebikeme in turn, has enlisted more than fourteen
(14) of his former Obubra camp mates and today
they live pretty comfortable lives working with their
non-Nigerian partners who provide them with the
technical know-how and technological tools to
access crude oil through large pipes that pass
through certain strategic locations in their
communities.
Ebikeme and his colleagues do not feel guilty in
what they do. They actually believe that 'oil
theft' (as the government would like to call it) is
far better and more honorable than kidnapping and
hostage taking. They believe that they are from oil
producing communities and since the Amnesty
programme is not ready to draft them for its 'many
training programmes', they should at least find a
way to eke a living.
However, the truth is that before Ebikeme and his
colleagues chose to go to work on oil pipelines and
channel its products for themselves and their
sponsors, their names had been replaced at the
Amnesty office with people who were not at all
involved in the armed agitation in the Niger Delta
sometimes in connivance with some of the former
militant leaders from Bayelsa and Delta state.
In the end, non-militants are ferried to training
institutions around the world while the true ex-
militants are left to their fate in their communities.
Little wonder they are all now heading for the
pipelines and Nigeria is again crying for it. Billions
of dollars worth of crude oil has been channelled
away from pipelines in the creeks to waiting
vessels offshore.
Kingsley Kuku, head of the amnesty office, in active
connivance with some of the former militant
leaders, replaces the names of the true militants
with non-militants including some from Non-Niger
Delta communities and then awards educational
scholarships as well as training scholarships to
these non-militants. In frustration and having being
betrayed by some of their leaders, some of these
young lads resort to oil facility sabotage so that
they can survive and sustain their families but we
believe that some are beginning to prefer it over the
Amnesty Programme itself.
Fortunately enough, it is not all the militant leaders
that have betrayed those that they led. Some
others have come out to publicly condemn the
hideous activities that have been going on at the
Presidential Amnesty Programme.
We commend our leaders Asari Dokubo, General
Boyloaf, General Egberipapa and the many others
who have stood on the path of truth and have
chosen to speak up for their many members who
have been cut off from a program that was
supposed to help improve their lives.
We condemn the ex-militant leaders assembly led
Pastor Reuben which has, for some time now, for a
small fee, been used to blackmail legitimate ex-
militant leaders through paid advertisements and
media interviews. In the past few months, they
have each enjoyed Five million naira (N5 million)
cash payments and then all expense paid trips to
South Africa JUST so that they will be WILLING to
fall to Kingsley Kuku's efforts to jaundice our
cause. And FALL they did.
Posterity will indeed punish them.
We commend the leaders of the Niger Delta
Awareness Coalition (NDAC) who have for months
now been assisting us on how to use the power of
Enlightenment, Awareness & Education to engage
the media and alert the public on the despicable
fraud that now pervades the Presidential Amnesty
Programme.
We have nothing against President Goodluck
Jonathan BUT it will be a shame for the President
not to see that there are leeches around him that
work hard to destroy every little success that he
may have gained. These leeches even blackmail the
President behind his back. Yet the President
continues to keep them. How unfortunate.
