I don't know the kind of sin that we have committed as a people that God has to send us this kind of affliction in the person of PMB.
May God forgive us and take away this affliction from us

If Buhari wants to probe anybody at all,let him start from his immediate party... you claim fighting corruption while you re sorrounded by the most corrupt elements...You claim you re not marginalizing where as the SS/SE got the least allocation.... You re biting more than you can chew by going after the mass activist leaders both in SS/SE.

What the hell is this slowpoke of Briggs talking about? Tompolo has been given so many opportunities to turn himself in to the authorities but chose to do things the hard way. If Tompolo is a genuine business man as Briggs is making us believe, he has no reason to refuse invitation by law enforcement agencies. Nobody disrespects the law & get away with it. Letting Tompolo poking government in the eye & get away with will set a very precedent. He must be made to answer for his misdeeds either dead or alive.

This woman thinks she's talking to that drunken fisherman. it was careless talk like this that made Jonathan not to provide a single borehole for Otueke. It took the intervention of outsiders for Otueke to have potable water after 6 years of an Ijaw man as President.

I know of a boy from the ND who made a 1st class in Law both at Uni and Law School. He later got an admission offer to Cambridge for his masters. He wrote to these vagabonds in power from the SS and non of them answered him even after pledging to work for them upon his return home. A British body gave him a scholarship and he ended up making a First class in law from Cambridge.

A graduate earns 19,800 per month but the smallest militant granted amnesty earns 5,000 per night on accommodation. Yet, the people are suffering. Old folks without healthcare and social benefits, the waters are poisoned and schools are gang recruitment centers.

Diezani was appointed a Director in Shell based on community quota, what did she do for her people? Kingsley Kuku was buying houses for runs girls he met on IG and the ND people are suffering. Asari Dokubo founded his university in Benin Republic far away from the reach of his people. Edwin Clark never did anything tangible for the ND people apart from marrying a new wife. This same Ms. Briggs was an adviser under Jonathan and made sure he was ruined with her selfishness.

The Niger Delta needs to find a way of flushing out these set of thieves they are bedeviled with otherwise, a thousand Jonathans can't help them.
After all, it is an Hausa man that ordered the clean up of the oil spill in the ND after their 'brother' refused to do it.

To avoid unnecessary friction that may lead to tension in the area, President Muhammadu Buhari has been advised to call for the immediate withdrawal of troops redeployed to some communities in the Niger Delta region.
A human rights activist, Ann-Kio Briggs, who gave the warning said the presence of soldiers in these communities particularly in the Gbaramatu community of Delta state could be agitating and was capable of causing tension in the area.
This is coming at a time when the Federal High court in Lagos ordered for the arrest of the ex-militant warlords for his refusal to honor several invitations by the EFCC.
Speaking in Port Harcourt, Rivers state capital at the weekend, Ann-Kio Briggs warned that if the idea of redeploying troops to the Delta community was to arrest Government Ekpemupolo, popularly called Tompolo, then “They should go through the due process of arresting anybody”.
“Tompolo has been doing legitimate business with the government over the years. I don’t know which law stipulates how to do business or otherwise. If the federal government has any issue with Tompolo, they should go through the due process of properly investigating him.
“You can’t send soldiers to destroy a community, arrest young men and rape women in the name of searching for Tompolo. If they claim that everybody in the Ijaw land is a criminal, does it also mean that everybody in the north is a member of Boko Haram?
“You cannot hold the traditional rulers responsible for Tompolo’s action or inaction. The attitude of the soldiers in the Ijaw communities is oppressive. The moment soldiers are restricted to a particular ethnic group in the country, it becomes very
Ann-Kio Briggs who is the spokesperson of the Ijaw Republican Assembly, IRA, said it was fundamentally wrong for soldiers to “invade” any community in search of their target, adding that such action was “not the way to address the issue of decades-long neglect of the Niger Delta region by every successive government”.
According to her, If Tompolo has been indicted for any wrong doing, he should be properly investigated but “there are officials in this government who have been indicted of embezzlement of public funds, yet they are walking about as freemen”.

Speaking further, the activist corrected that the search for the arrest of Tompolo should not be enough reason for the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi to cancel the Maritime University set up by the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Delta state.
She described as anti-Nigeria the cancellation of the university by the minister, stating that this is capable of generating “bad blood” between the north and the people of the Niger Delta region.
“Tompolo’s issue is not enough reason for anybody to cancel the maritime university. This is a shame. We in the Ijaw land deserve the equal share of every good thing in this country. If an aviation university is to be built in the north, why can’t somebody leave the maritime university in Delta!
Jonathan built about twelve new universities in his tenure and five of these universities were in the north. Why should anybody contemplate of denying Ijaw people the right of hosting a university on their land?”, she quipped

Why can't this dimwit tell Tompolo to submit himself to court.This is d way they have allowed touts and militants become their leaders while good,honest,dedicated men waste away.

Is your government obeying court order, why should he surrender to a govt that has the juduciary as an appendage. Bulldoze your way to get him, you'll end up selling your excreta as oil for your much needed forex.

This forum is obviously filled up with teenagers from the south west! I think adults no longer comment here.

Buhari said attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the North.. A lady came to fight for her community. It has always been "our thieves are better than your thieves"; why the insults on her personality and same people worship Buhari? Nigeria is heavily ethno religious.


The teenagers in the west attack those in the East and Vice versa, why are they attacking the ND that even have roots in the West? Is it so as to worship the 'saint Buhari' who equally care more for his tribesmen?


We need to emancipate ourselves from ethnic and religious shackles..

You these evil defender will eventually destroy Nigeria. Is it right for Tompolo for ignore court order? What other due process do you want than court order to arrest a fleeing criminal. If he is right, why was he on the run after all others honour the invitation including Akpobolokemi that was charged with him. Bunch of evil
Buhari is bloody riff raff. His brain is exactly like that of a rabbit. Tell us why any normal being should obey that senseless dunce calll Buhari.

Instead of taking about issues , zombies like you are throwing tantrums at yourself. Why are people like you so stupid, even in your comments?. Why cancel a whole project. Why not review it if you find something fishy. You westerners, the stupid ones like you, will sit down in the west and make silly comments about things you have no clue about. Zoombies!
