Yorubas arent your brothers- dont confuse the sellouts you roll with for the entire Yoruba people- generalizations help no one.


yes, my family members have the H factor and tribal marks. Do those things offend you in some way?  I myself always overuse my aitches when talking. Didnt know it wasnt cool until just recently.


Very embarassing to be from the same country as these ugly, tribally marked, primitive, dirty and bush Yorubas, right? They look like people who fought with a tiger and got their face all scratched up.

Always claiming lagos which doesnt belong to them and using Niger Delta oil and revenue like the parasites they are.

Somebody call Aloy.Emeka. . . . his wife is spazzing out again. . . 

Shebi tkb417 na sell-out na? 

please name your state of origin and hometown so MEND can go make a statement against the FG and Yaradua there.

Its all for the cause.

@ bolded

you're basing your assumption on what exactly? That's a pretty broad statement. Beware of generalization and pipe dreams.

"legitimate targets", huh?

debosky:

No assumption or generalization, but let me give you some examples

1. the comments of the Lagos State Governor: He said that Lagos as the headquarters of the national press has been the medium of agitation and as a melting pot of nationalities; the people of Lagos have protected and hosted even displaced Niger Deltans.

2. the Governor explained that the State itself has been a victim of years of neglect as a former federal capital which continues to serve as the host community to all ethnic communities and as economic nerve centre of the country.

He said: “Is Lagos not also a victim of years of neglect? Is this an agitation without limits, is a friendly and host State fair game?”

Lagos itself is battling with the center for more control over it's revenues from VAT, import duties and the like, not only suffering impacts of industrial production/shipping without being able to mitigate with revenue from those activities.

This is near-identical to the Niger Delta call for resource control and environmental remediation, so in principle, they are fighting for the same thing.
Any target that can be hit to affect the Federal Government and make it reconsider it's stance is a legitimate target - these include assets of Federal Agencies such as the NNPC, especially when related to oil and gas and when there is a perception of neglect of the Niger Delta in favour of other areas.

agbero

Fhemmmy:

How has bombing Lagos fighting for justice, what would you guys expect fashola to have done, is fashola the FG that decide on how and where they share their stupid head?
This is not a lagos issue and shdn't be brought to lagos.

tayo4lif:

what fashola should do is keep quiet, if fashola can not fight for the yoruba people but MEND want to fight. shutting down pipeline is the only way to make the north come to the table. fashola is an agent of the north.

However right fash response may be,
I just know dat u cannot warn d armed group dat attacked u right in ur backyard
while u were sleeping.

Its rightly not fash problem,it goes to say nigeria navy and army
can be given a surprised attack anyday anytime right in dia barrack.

wolexf:

I think the MEND group are just a big joke, causing unnecessary commotion, in as much as the Government is not doing as much as it should for the Niger Delta people, but they are not even getting value for the little the government has tried to do.

We all know very well the case of Alamyesia (pardon the spelling) and James Ibori these are former governors who have stolen billions of naira meant for the niger delta people, how can these men be enjoying and walking around freely and the group MEND will claim to be fighting for their rights.  

If you are form Delta and you dont have water, good roads, schools, hospitals its because James Ibori stole the money for the 8 yrs he was governor, same goes for Bayelsa and the others these governors are your primary enemies not Shell, Chevron or the Federal Government . If i hear one of these governors mansions were blown with Bomb or one of their kid was kidnapped and ransom was paid then i will know that MEND are really fighting a good course.

nuzo:

Thats the problem with nigerians. . . . they will never try to talk in order settle issues amicably.

nuzo:

Having said that, I dare any nigerian to attack my people unfairly and see what will come out of it.

nuzo:

Trust me, the system is very hot right now.

tpia.:


and to you, this translates as "support for MEND".

Yeah, the heat is on 'your people' now. See how you felt it from Shanghai!

Fhemmmy:

Even if you want Fashola to chose a side, what is on the table for him to chose from?
You expect anyone to join side with people kidnapping people and seeking ransom?
You expect anyone to join side with people that are bombing and setting on fire the natural resources of their nation/
Common------wld u?

Ibime:

It is not Fashola himself, but the Yoruba polity as a whole. . . . Fashola himself has no votes to change anything. . . . we're talking senators and the people who control them. . . . power-brokers etc. . . Long before kidnapping and rehrehreh, Naija Deltans have been agitating for resource control. . . . many non-militarised Niger-Deltans (& others) are still agitating for that. . . . . . . people like Gani Fawehimni, Ledum Mitee, Wole Soyinka, Rochas Okorocha, Pat Utomi etc. . . . . are these people labelled as "joining side" with people who "kidnap and ransom"?. . . . . whenever a negotiation turns violent (as the Niger-Delta negotiation has) it will always be the criminals and "strong men" of the society who pick up arms first cos they are used to that lifestyle. . . . that does not mean their fight is not a genuine one. . .

debosky:

Is it that you are bent on reading your own warped meaning into my posts or that you are simply not following the discourse? 

I said Lagos supports the NIGER DELTA agitation and is their agitation is NOT synonymous with MEND. If you can't comprehend that then I have nothing further to say to you.
