The attack of Lagos can never be justified, as a lot of Lagosians are in support of the agitations of the militants. Attacking a Yoruba State can turn the Yorubas against the Militants and the Niger Deltans, which would not augur well for their agitations. If they try to attack a core Hausa state like kano, i am sure every Niger Delta and even igbo person would be attacked by the indegenes. i think they should restrict their operations to their environments after all that is where all the oil is Located. Our views on the ongoing militancy in the Niger Delta is usually beclouded by tribal interests and sentiments, the views can be summarized as follows; The hausa see the agitations of the Niger Delta as an affront on their rights to control the wealth and power in the Nigerian federation, so see the militants and their supporters as criminals, and wishes silently and sometimes loudly that the militants and all their sympathizers to be wiped out, so that they get unfettered access to all the land and oil. After all more hausa owns oil blocks (which they had never visited) than any other tribe. The Yorubas are more subtle and more divided in their views, some also sees the oil and the land as OUR oil and so should be distributed evenly. some are indifferent and some support the call for fiscal federalism. The Igbo are in support of militancy to enforce resource control and self determination (even if it is partial) as they had also taken up arms against the federal govt in the past. The Niger Deltans are in support of resource control and to some extent the militants as they understand the poverty level and underdevelopment of oil rich communities. Meanwhile the Hausa and Yoruba elites rulings this country are afraid and against true federalism. They are afraid of convening a conference where the various tribes making up Nigeria would all spleen out their grievances, these elites feel that they would lose out in such an arrangement. So they would try to keep the status quo, no matter the odds. |

Their agitation for resource control remains valid - if they want to squander 100% of their resources, it is THEIR business.what part of the constitution lays credence to tht in bold? what ure saying can land you in jail! illegality!!! they shld clamour for a sovereign national conference which the yorubas have been fighting for. Then, we can start talking about how resources shld be shared. akin fi ete le, ka pa lapalapa u dont leave leprosy to treat ringworm first things first so tigbo professor |

@Nuzo or nuisance ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "One" Igbo boi told you and that automatically translates to the opinion of the Igbo community? Must you drag in the name Igbo into every thread before you can have a balanced discussion? Leave us out of this abeg, we aint collaborating with nobody. Once beaten, twice shy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The same reason why you too need to get lost on this thread, it's about MEND's incorrigible actions in Lagos. We ain't talkin' about east right here so you need to hit the door! |

tkb417: What happened in 1995 constitutional conference is still fresh in peoples mind. |

i am so shocked to see how people are some block minded and tribalistic. how is the problem in Niger-Delta a Yoruba or hausa's wahala, are they the FG? |

Re: Fashola Warns Mend by wirinet(m): 6:29pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
tkb417: What constitution are you talking of? I wonder if you had ever read the constitution you shout of. The so called constitution is a decree promulgated by Gen. Abdulsalami. So in effect it is a DECREE and not a constitution in the true sense. No other constitution i know of was made that way. When the military took over in 1983, they suspended the constitution (and not abrogated), so why did they not restore the constitution, instead of promulgating a decree. |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by wirinet(m): 6:32pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
tkb417: Igbos are not truly in power, they only get what the Hausa and Yoruba elites gives them as the supposedly, third leg of the WAZOBIA arrangement. |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by Fhemmmy: 6:36pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
wirinet: U mean to tell me that the Igbos are now a slave of their father's slave? If they are so insulted of the positions and the leadership that they have been given, why wont they reject it then? besides, with all these noise, show me what most of the Igbo states has done to even develop their states, LG or environment? I think it is time to stop bashing others for our own mysteries and face the problems and deal with the FG together as one |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by wirinet(m): 6:38pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
Fhemmmy: I am not being tribalistic, that is why i mention Hausa and Yoruba political elites, their views do not represent the views of the average Yoruba and Hausa common man, but they are able to manipulate their people to get what they want, especially the Hausa elites. Who is the FG? the people that determine how power and resources are distributed in Nigeria are the Hausa and Yoruba political elites. They have reduced Nigeria to WAZO and BIA. |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by NIGboi(m): 6:38pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
Some folks here keep hammering on the point 'Niger delta criminality'. The tend to happily forget that the federal government thru the jtf almost wiped out villages in the niger delta. Very few were shouting about the federal government criminality. When MEND acts all them folks shout murder. Even though i am not in support of violence, i also an not in support of corruption, laziness and should i say outright stupidity of most of our leaders. They act as though they can't see or may be they really can't! You keep on robbing a particular set of people and you expect them to sit and tell you well done. LMAO! You rob them and then kill them. And then you tell them not to take up arms. They must be real stupid he they don't take to arms. My point is that the government should do what they are supposed to do which i think they know and stop causing more problems for the citizens of the country. What really can Gov Fashola do? If any one has specifics on what he can do please share with me. |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by tkb417(m): 6:41pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
wirinet:are u for real? The 1999 constitution is a decree? a constitution tht was adopted on the day we started the 4th republic journey? and do i need to read the whole constitution to know that a state in Nigeria cannot lay claim to the resources in the land? Interesting. NL i hail thee!! dont be too fast to post next time abegg |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by Tonynwosa: 6:41pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
For all I know MEND cannot be stopped by Fashola the fedral govt has tried for about 10yrs what's the result?? let alone a state.whoever is saying the attack is not fair on Lagos should go the Niger delta and see first hand the situation then we can talk about fairness. know that the aim was not to dis-stabilize lagos but to hinder the returns the fedral govt gets from these oil companies.The federal govt is the target no matter where is struck. MEND has ordered a 60days seize fire to enable negotiations with govt. so they know what they want and this struggle might just make the fed. govt seat up to our needs.They are indirectly fighting for the whole country. |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by wirinet(m): 6:42pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
Fhemmmy: The Igbos lost the civil war - remember? so the victors (Hausa and Yoruba) are at liberty to dash them what they deem fit. that is how all wars turn out. We are still suffering the effect of the second world war today as the Victors - US and Europe has more say in world affairs than all the other countries added together. |

Re: Fashola Warns Mend by freezy(m): 6:44pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
I tire for this MEND boys sef. Did their father's father plant oil in the lands? Do they even know the origin of the so called crude oil? Are they aware that by the Land use act, ALL lands in Nigeria belongs to the Federal Govt and that those who 'buy' lands only have rented it for a period of 99 years? There is no other term to describe their action than High Treason and wanton destructionof Govt property! Jeez! What we condone in this country all b'cos of some corrupt pips. . . Last warning, stay away from Lagos o! Awon boyz are waiting this time around with oogun |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by tkb417(m): 6:45pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
wirinet:stop saying what u dont know. ok? it will help you. or better still, ask for clarification on where u lack understanding, some of us will be ready to help out Igbos are not truly in power? wht figure of speech is that anybody in the house? so when Okadigbo died, he died as what? etete and co? were they Yorubas Ngozi Okonjo, the new CJ? what are u saying? |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by wirinet(m): 6:46pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
tkb417: You are either too young or too naive. Please educate us how we came about the 1999 constitution. I am waiting, |
Re: Fashola Warns Mend by Fhemmmy: 6:48pm On Jul 16, 2009 |
wirinet: I hope you are not a tribalistic at all, cos i think it is a worm that causes some diseases. However, WA and ZO together and make it look it is against the BIA is not healthy at all for the unity of the nation. The "BIA" indigens never came out and contest for election and they are denied, i will vote for an igbo man, cos i have nothing against them, but i will not vote only cos he is Igbo, i wanna vote cos of his record, cos i know he can do something for Nigeria that others cant. Whenever you wanna refer to the FG, no need to do the hausa, Yoruba and Igbo nonsense, just refer to the FG wirinet: They lost the war and that made Nigeria {not hausa and yoruba} a winner, and i think it is time they let go of that past, and move on from the war that was never a good thing anyways. Instead of wallowing in self pity, it is time to move past that and let Nigeria lives. Quebec wanted to seperate from Canada and they still trying to, but in the meantime, they are living together in harmony. i am sure not all Ghana tribes are happy with resources sharing, but they working together for peace and unity, but Nija wanna show macho and their stupidity freezy: Even if their papa planted the Oil there, they need to chill a little and not kill innocent cos of the Oil. All the money they have made from kidnapping and grant, what have they got to show for it? nothing Yet, they are whining that people are not bombing with them |
