Ex-militant, Tompolo, Buys Six Warships by OCTAVO: 10:13am On Dec 13, 2014
A former Niger Delta militant, Mr. Government
Ekpemupolo, alia Tompolo, has bought seven
decommissioned Norwegian battleships,
Saturday PUNCH has learnt.
Reports by a Norwegian newspaper, Dagbladet,
said that the fast-speed Hauk-class guided
missile boats had been re-armed with new
weaponry.
The report also revealed that Ekpemupolo’s
most recent purchase is a KNM Horten, a fast-
attack craft now used in fighting piracy in
Nigeria’s waterways.
It was learnt that in spite of his alleged history
of violence, Tompolo, now controls the Global
West Vessel Service, a privately owned
contractor for maritime security for the Nigerian
Maritime Safety Agency.
Buying arms from Norway requires an export
license from Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The ships were reportedly sold first to CAS
Global, a British security company that has such
a license, after which Ekpemupolo reportedly
bought the ships from the British company.
Dagblade reported that the seven Norwegian
ships are now part of the company’s maritime
fleet patrolling under a contract for the Federal
Government.

6 years of rule, Jonathan constructed railway on the paper which made Alh Ameachi unable to transport on the rail. 6 years of rule, economy of Nigeria became number one on the paper, which made average Nigerian to still be living under $1 per day. 6 years of rule, Jonathan created work thru promises of the mouth which made about 16 people died tragically looking for immigration job around March. 6 years of rule, a leader who swore an oath to protect his country but never did and using opposition as an excuse everytime. 6 years of rule, a leader became sixth African richest president, 6 years of rule, a leader who created more universities but ASUU were on strike for six good months! 6 years of rule, a government who promised to sanitise the whole system from corruption, but some are saying GEJ fought corruption in Agriculture and left PENSION scam, Fuel subsidy scam, Stella Oduah's Scam, Diezani's scam, Lawal Farouk scam, Oritsejafor scam, Abacha son's scam, Fayose's scam, Buruji Kashamu's Scam, Fani Kayode's scam, $20billion scam...by God's grace this man can NEVER win again.

Having said that, the North should remember to re-activate the Groundnut Pyramid and the West should go back to exporting cocoa for the rainy days. They will need it.

[b]The era of boko haram is about to ease off. We are entering into another phase and, we the South-South, have sworn that the Ab@kis would see hell when any of their Sons or daughters are sworn in to rule us. Better give it to yoruba cowards now, because the yorubas shamelessly allowed a dictator, coupist, serial loser and religious bigot to penetrate their territory with an overzealous Born-To-Rule Mentality and snatched an APC ticket with boldness within their watch on a party they struggle with sweats to form. It is better than giving it to those cattle rearers that wounded the same yoruba, killed Awolowo and Abiola, stopped the construction of lagos rail line etc. No more gworo-chewing-almajiri-cow-loving hausa illiterate ruling over the most ambitious intelligent Igbos and the most gifted and diversified Ijaw nation. No way, buhari can never rule me and my oil. We will see and Nigeria shall burn! Boko haram was your weapon, we are also preparing our own lethal weapon to make your government ungovernable Mr Coupist. Indeed Mr Dictator you shall witness the real he-goats, monkies, cattles, dogs and baboons soaking in bath blood[/b]

No region has the monopoly of violence oooo.

You can't keep using a regions wealth to develop the whole nation and still frustrate it's son out of power.

People are now wiser. We are not slaves to the north.

Niger-deltans are not slaves to bokoharams.

You would not develop Nigeria with their wealth and still tell them they have no right to rule.

To the Warship buyers and their back ups, please next time, buy Nuclear weapons from North Korea so that America can deal with you mercilessly!

I'm travelling to Benin Republic, at least a militant still got arrested by their local police. Tired of the fake governance we're trying to run. We're all a bunch of liars and hypocrites in Nigeria. Shame on the Presidency!
