The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) has slammed the Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE) over the comments it made on the attack on the Atlas Cove Jetty in Lagos.
The YCE after a meeting had criticized the attack, disclosing that it was scheduling a meeting with President Umaru Yar’Adua to discuss the latest development, which it said was an invitation to inter-tribal war.

MEND spokesman, Jomo Gbomo in an interview with Daily Sun said rather than criticize MEND for its action; the YCE should be apologizing to the militant organization and the Niger Delta over the actions of former President Olusegun Obasanjo in the region.

MEND stated that the Niger Delta problem might have started in oil rich region but since it was sired by injustice it knew boundaries.
It dismissed that its action could lead to a tribal war except there was a plan to start a war before the MEND action.

His words: “The YCE should be the ones apologizing to us after their son; Olusegun Obasanjo wiped out Odi with innocent civilians and stole our commonwealth as the Minister of Petroleum. They should apologize that while we do not have bridges to cross to our communities, the system has robbed Peter to pay Paul with bridges in their sacred region. The Niger Delta issue may have started in the Niger Delta, but the problem caused by injustice knows no boundaries. It is a Nigerian problem that should be enjoyed or suffered by all. Some say they are sympathetic with the struggle. While that could be true, it is only those that make sacrifices with us that are the genuine sympathizers.”

Gbomo described the comments of the Odua Peoples Congress (OPC) as ranting, noting that the MEND attack in Lagos was to reinforce its declaration that Nigeria’s oil installation would not find refuge anywhere.
“It seems some people just enjoy ranting. Is the OPC threatening to attack any Niger Deltan or a particular state or tribe there? We have the Itsekirs, Isokos, Urhobos, Ijaws, Ibibios, Igbos, Efiks, so who do they plan on attacking first?

Do they plan on attacking pipelines and oil companies and making our job easier or plan to destroy non-existent infrastructure? We just believe they are making a mountain out of a mole hill. We have made it clear that the oil industry will not find refuge anywhere in Nigeria as long as they are contributing to the injustice in the Delta and therefore anyone that shelters them should not expect the conflict not to come to them. We will however, focus on the oil industry and not on any other structures except in a full scale war scenario,” he said.

On the call by Cardinal Olubunmi Okogie that militants should not be paid, MEND said it supported the move as it would expose those who were in the struggle for monetary gains and those who were genuinely concerned about the problem of the Niger Delta, stressing, however, that it could backfire as criminals with guns could return it to collect money and buy new ones.

“The Archbishop may have his reasons. There are opponents and proponents to this offer. The money offer can separate those who have a vision and those who are in it for the short-term gain. This is helpful to us because there would have been no other way of finding out the committed fighters. The drawback here is that many fake militants who are criminals can now offer the weapons they have for cash and then buy new ones. It is a complex situation which only true federalism can solve,” he added.

From one of posts i have read you grew up in lagos and probably can speak their language .What do you have againsr them

Hmm, Its bout to get really ugly!

In the same one Nigeria as we claimed, a government property was distroy by the militants and some people are sending out threats of tribal war and making some tribal coments, Does the Atlas Cove belong to any tribe? I think i think belongs to the Nigerian government, So let the government speak for themselves coz the war is against themselves, After all the victims of the attack were from different tribes in Nigeria and not jst one tribe.These guys has been attacking oil pipelines even in ND state and no sentimental comments has been made by any tribe as this coming from the YCE.
They better leave the fight for the stupid government that it is meant for b4 they instigate another civil war,

Arrant nonsense!!!
Jomo running his mouth like a faucet, when trouble hits close to home----he remembers he has to travel overseas.

there is not going to be any bloodbath, yoruba people are just not into fighting.

Great number of them are cowards, you know

  Yes you are right and just like every other person you can live in some where and speak their language and still have problems with them. Two of my best friends are from there and i have best of friends also from the north and east and other part of Nigeria.

  The issue here is that they always want to eat their cake and have it. They want Nigeria to be a better place for everyone but they don't want to pay the sacrifice for it. Atlas cove belongs to government and if it was destroyed why should a certain tribe now decide to take action on behalf of the Government. The government which owns the property has been silent since the destruction and if it wants to react to any group damaging its property it does so by using the JTF to carry out his commands in destroying the  Niger-delta.  The government already through the navy has been doing his duty by harassing and placing curfew on the people living in those villages mend used to attack the property so what for Gods sake is their problem?.

They always want to participate in conflicts by proxy without suffering any causality but want to reap the best reward of that conflict.

My brother or sister if there is no pain there is no gain and that is their problem gaining from issues like this without suffering any pain.

The Biafra war  and now the Niger-delta war are  case studies.

Thats a road im quite sure OPC would not want to take.

Its full of AK-47s, FNs, grenades, rocket launchers, mortars, C4 and possibly drones.

Imagine all of these against cutlass wielding, not well fed, disorganized OPC boys
