Is Kidnapping as crime? We shall soon find out.
1. It is a crime if Tompolo or whoever is responsible for this is arrested.
2. It is not a crime if Tompolo or whoever is responsible for this is not arrested.

This guy(GEJ) is not fit to be a LG chairman not to talk of pressy.......... But 9ja politics sha

They were hired by Ayiri to go video the Gbaramatu axis without the knowledge of the people of the area. While on that unapproved mission, the Ayiri boys who excorts had guns hidden in the boat. They were only accosted by the Tompolo boys and were taken to the community for interogation. The guns that were found in the boat and the Ayiri boys were handed over to the police. No journalist was kidnapped. Lets us spread genuine news and not fake news that will make the area tensed again. We have enjoyed alot of goodies from both Tompolo and Ayiri with the relative peace in the area. I do not think that any responsible son of Ijaw and Ishekiri will want us to go to war again.

Bro, I think you should verify your version of the story. Read the account of the kidnapped journalists below

Omo na wa ooh...ex Mexican President as a man of honour stood and faced the cartels and fought them to a stand-still.

Can you imagine our president awarding contracts to kidnappers...how can a president be afraid of a gangster?

Naija is dead-Goodluck is comedy walahi-the worst president ever...this is a big disgrace to we all Nigerians.

Arch1:
Isnt it shameful that a mere criminal like Tompolo who by the way owns a private jet, has more clout in the Nigerdelta than the president of Nigeria who is also from the NigerDelta.
What a shame

Don't blame Tompolo, blame the president for going against due process to empower him by awarding him (Tompolo) Billion dollar unusual contracts to "Protect" the oil pipelines; instead of the Nigerian Navy.

In this way the president had not only enabled Tompolo become stupendously rich and powerful but at the same time also additionally giving him effective cover to loot oil directly under his supposed watch - its like leaving your beautiful daughter under the protective custody of a serial rapist.

Jonathan is only beginning to reap what he sewed: He made Tompolo powerful enough to begin to flex and even bite the hands feeding him - there will be more to come; wait till he leaves office and returns back to the creeks, then the real turf war would begin.

wow jona you dullie oh! you mean this bagger committed a crime right infront of your eyes, and you couldnt even order his arrest and immediate prosecution? WTF! this is scary! then how can you now fight a terrorist army? and the many armed robbers, millitants, kidnappers etc? when you cant even take on a silly creek boy? Jonathan is actually what they say he is - CLUELESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This is the work of northern oligarchy who wants to frustrate and disgrace Jonathan.

You are wrong fella, it's the work of the opposition!

Read my story very well. They were hired for a sinister purpose. What do you expect from them; to tell the true story against their paymaster's instructions. Please lets take away politics and live together in peace. We are brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, cousins, nephews, niece etc. The Ijaws and Ishekiris can resolve this without third parties. The journalist should leave us alone.

Tompolo, Asari Dokunbo, Abubakar Shekau,





ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE TERRORIST

Whether Journalists or Not what sane man would adopt people...

EOD! Live and let live.

The Itsekiri's are expert in giving out fake news to the press. Was it not the so called Ayiri lead group that carried arms into the river and was repelled by soldiers and naval officers? Even his cousin was caught with arms n now with the security operatives

Thank God the journalists are free and out alive.

History is there for us to learn from but sadly we hardly visit the history archive to consult about the past.

It is a well known fact that it is because of things like this that lead to the warri crises in the past.

By now one would expect things like this not to have repeat itself but for where. For the sake of peace and successful take off of the project the governor should have in the first place carried the two tribe along.

The ijaws are claiming that the epz pass through and occupied more of their land than the itsekeris all they want is for that fact to noted and accorded what is due them.

Shake my head to read such a comment coming from an elder who suppose to be suing for peace and peaceful co existence of all tribe in warri like the old days.

Blamed Jonathan na you sabi, curse him, call him name na una sabi. The man did the right thing by staying away. He hasn't finished battling with boko haram and you people want him to open his eyes down and allowed another one abi?

To all the youths in and from delta its time you people put on your thinking cap and sue for peace among yourself. Am sorry to say this " not everything our elders talk we must accept hook line and sinker. Let try and find out truth for ourselves and let truth prevail no matter the cost, at the long run we will all be happy for it.

God bless Nigeria

Thank you so much for putting on the right thinking cap......I remember the days of Warri crisis when all u hear is gun rattling and the compound I stayed in Warri burnt, 2day all u see when you go there are burnt houses and grasses as though no 1 has lived in that place in the last 50yrs.......So all the indomie children in the house that seat and type whatever they like on the web space ask the older generation for guidance

Gej is an epic failure and coward
Tompolo should be rotten in jail somewhere by now if it was in sane country.

Read and learn then you would know the President is wiser than you think..........."The Warri Crisis was a series of riots and clashes between the Ijaw and the Itsekiri ethnic groups centered on the city of Warri in Delta State, Nigeria between March and May, 1997.

While the Ijaw and the Itsekiri have lived alongside each other for centuries, for the most part harmoniously, the Itsekiri were first to make contact with European traders, as early as the 16th century, and they were more aggressive both in seeking Western education and in using the knowledge acquired to press their commercial advantages. Until the arrival of Sir George Goldie's National Africa Company (later renamed the Royal Niger Company) in 1879, Itsekiri chieftains monopolized trade with Europeans in the Western Niger region. Despite the loss of their monopoly, the advantages already held by the Itsekiri ensured that they continued to enjoy an advantaged position relative to that held by the Ijaw.

The departure of the British upon independence did not lead to a decrease in tensions between the Ijaw and the Itsekiri. With the discovery of large oil reserves in the Niger Delta region in the early 1960s, a new bone of contention was introduced, as the ability to claim ownership of a given piece of land now promised to yield immense benefits in terms of jobs and infrastructural benefits to be provided by the oil companies. Despite this new factor, rivalry between the Ijaw and the Itsekiri did not actually escalate to the level of violent conflict between the two groups until the late 1990s, when the death of General Sani Abacha in 1997 led to a re-emergence of local politics.

The title one of the city's traditional ruler, the Olu of Warri, was formerly known as the Olu of Itsekiri. When the title was changed by Awolowo's Western Nigeria government from Olu of Itsekiri to Olu of Warri in 1952, members of the other tribes (Urhobos, Isokos and Ijaws) saw this as an attempt to impose an Itsekiri ruler over them.[1] The title dispute has led to series of clashes between the tribes in Warri over sovereignty.

In 1997, The Federal Government under the late Gen. Sani Abacha created a number of local government areas, including a Warri South-West Local Government Council, whose headquarters it located at Ogbe-Ijoh, in the Ijaw area of Warri. But due to Political pressure by the Itsekiri on the Federal Government, the headquarters of the same local government council was relocated to Ogidigben, an Itsekiri area of Warri.

Riots ensued, hundreds died, and six Shell Nigeria (SPDC) installations were taken over, leading to a drop in oil production. The crisis is known as the "Warri Crisis."[1] The headquarters have since been relocated to Ogbe ijaw by the Delta State House of Assembly, a decision that brought relative peace back to the city.

The issue of local government ward allocation has proven particularly contentious. Control of the city of Warri, the largest metropolitan area in Delta State and therefore a prime source of political patronage, has been an especially fiercely contested area. This has given birth to heated disputes between the Ijaw, the Itsekiri and the Urhobo about which of the three groups are "truly" indigenous to the Warri region, with the underlying presumption being that the "real" indigenes should have control of the levers of power, regardless of the fact that all three groups enjoy ostensibly equal political rights in their places of residence.

The root of the Warri crisis is the Kiama Declaration of the Ijaws which was essentially a declaration that the entire Niger Delta Region of Nigeria belonged to the them. This of course is untrue as it is common knowledge that several other ancient ethnic groups like the Ibibios, the Itsekiris, the Andonis, the Urhobos, the Efiks, etc. alongside the Ijaws inhabit the area. The Warri crisis was the beginning of the implementation of the Kiama Declaration by the Ijaws. The Itsekiris, a tiny minority occupying lands containing some 40% of the total oil wealth of Nigeria, were a prime target of the Ijaws and they were to be a quick and gain as the Ijaws envisaged they could easily be runover, considering their status as a minoroty of minorities and the fact that they, unike the Ijaws, were unprepared for war. Simultaneously, in the hope of making quick work of the Itsekiris, the Ijaws took their expansionist agenda also to Edo State as well as to Ondo State where they were brutally halted by the majority ethnic groups in those States.

The trigger or opportunity for the commencement of the implementation of the Kiama Declaration and thus of the so-called Warri crisis was when the then Military Administrator of Delta State, Colonel David Dungs, unilaterally announced in a broadcast to the State that the Headquarters of the newly created Warri South-West Local Government Area was Ogbe-Ijoh, an Ijaw settlement, contrary to Ogidigben, an Itsekiri town, as was duly gazetted by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The Colonel Dungs maneuver is believed to have been sponsored by the Ijaws, he being not from the area but from far away Plateau State in North Central Nigeria and therefore ought not to have had any vested interest in the matter, and considering that the action was solely to the benefit of the Ijaws. That the Itsekiris put up no resistance initially buttresses this point. That the Ijaws commenced a war rather than a protest and even went on to "capture" and retain known traditional Itsekiri territories like Kantu and Okenrengigho (which they rechristened "Okenrenkoko" contrary to what is on every known map of the area) also buttresses the hegemonic mission of the Ijaws. The so-called Warri crisis therefore was not a crisis but a war of attrition waged by the Ijaws against their Itsekiri brothers with whom they had co-existed peacefully before advent of Ijaw nationalism."

Tompolo should be rotten in jail somewhere by now if it was in sane country.

When I first read about Tompolo's threat on the president and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian armed forces, warning him not to dare attend that particular official function, I just considered it an empty threat, especially given that the event would be happening in an area of the country that GEJ should be feeling safest, amid his N Delatan people and just close to his birth place of Otuoke.

I never thought that a common criminal could so easily, with mere words, scare the shit out of the leader of the largest African country and force him to cancel an event at the last minute! We are indeed living in 'a cloud of shame', apology to Prof. Soyinka

Just hope this doesnt escalate to violent.

People just comment without looking at the bigger picture. They criticise GEJ for what I believe is a very good decision

The Itsekiri's have used the position of their son the governor to oppress their neighbours the Ijaws.

The governor is aware that the Ijaws own a large percentage of the land in question but refused to recognise that fact.

If he is interested in peace he should have settled these issues long before commencement of the EPZ talk less of commissioning.

But because settling of these issues will mean giving the Ijaws their dues just like the Itsekiri's he won't
Why
The benefits of the land owners will go to them alone. No one gives a damn about the co-owners of the land

After all they have the governor on their side.


They forget that a similar move caused the warri crisis not too long ago

Now GEJ trying to avoid a repetition is been blamed for what is definitely an act of oppression by the governor and his kinsmen.

This must be the handwork of his enemies who promised to make Nigeria ungovernable for him. Arrest Buhari and Tinubu now.
