Mend Clarifies Position On Amnesty And The "defection" Of Boyloaf by BlackRevo: 9:42pm On Aug 04, 2009
As the hours of the August 6, 2009 Federal Government of Nigeria's amnesty offer draw near, it is important to clarify certain insinuations as well as set the facts straight to counter propagandists and rumour mongers.

It is true that Boyloaf who is a MEND commander in Bayelsa state has expressed a desire to return to civilian life and as such he is in Abuja in furtherance of his personal pursuits. Already, a replacement has been effected to take over his command.


Boyloaf is not acting on behalf of MEND which is already in consultations with the Presidential Special Adviser on Niger Delta, Mr Timi Alaibe.

The outcome of these negotiations will determine MEND's approach to the governments offer.

We deny speculations that Farah Dagogo, our commander in the Eastern Delta is in Abuja for the same purpose as Boyloaf.

Henry Okah will not be leading the Boyloaf led bunch into any kind of talks that will  focus on monetary negotiations rather than address the root issues that has led to the Niger Delta unrest.

MEND denies any involvement in a cash for arms deal which we condemn in very strong terms.

When we choose to disarm, it will be done freely; knowing that the reason for our uprising which is the emancipation of the Niger Delta from neglect and injustice has been achieved.

The story that came out in the morning didn't make sense, especially as these guys had already refused a 50 billion "amnesty" package.

There would always be surrogates.
Everybody knows that the voice of MEND is Jomo Gbomo. Anyword that doesn't come out of Jomo himself, cannot be credited to MEND.

my point still stands.Irrespective of the other faction's comments on Sahara.
in my view, they are all the same. approaches may differ but the uniting thread is the monetary ideology that they all share.
i will reconsider my view if someone can answer a couple of the questions i asked earlier, rather than all these long rhetorics.

they are all getting richer and building houses all over the ND, while encouraging criminality in their rank and file.
which kind just cause be that?
which of them have been able to articulate a solution to the problem?
which of the above named persons or their ilks are poorer in the cause of this 'struggle'?
which of them have not been enriched in the process?
how do they intend maintaining this riches if this 'struggle' ends?
these are questions i will love you to answer.
the only ideology these militants know is money.
all the major militants in ND are better off financially and physically than they were 5 or 6 years ago.
go and figure.
how come ND militant leaders' wealth has risen astronomically within the time of the struggle?
example of the leaders i am referring to are prince Harry, Okah, victor Ben, Asari, Soboma and Ateke Tom,boyloaf,Tombolah and Fara

Nairalanders no go kill person with laff

Why the fuss about an ordinary sum of 3 billion naira.Though,some senior commanders of MEND have spoken out to dissociate themselves and MEND from that saga,anyone who thought the militants would disarm forever just because of 3 billion and some bungalows has displaced Ali baba as Nigeria's king of comedy.Do the math,how much has Uduaghan been giving the Delta MEND monthly,how much has Sylva been giving them(never mind that he said he's stopped),from these two states alone,they'd have got the 3 billion from just the two state governments in about nine months,not factoring in the endless oil bunkering they engage in with the active connivance of the Navy,plus bank robberies and protection monies from multi nationals etc etc

That aside,MEND still wants to retain a semblance of legitimate struggle for resource control,so without the FG adopting the principle of true fiscal federalism,they'll still give MEND(especially the criminal elements within them,who I guess make up to 97% of the rank and file) an excuse to bear arms and carry out acts of economic sabotage

So in summary you're saying MEND are among the groups bleeding the Niger DElta dry?

@PapaBrowne

Gbomo Jomo does not exist. It is just an invented ID like the one you use on Nairaland and anybody in MEND can assume the identity of Gbomo Jomo.

This problem requires a military solution.


The military and security services should do the job the're there to do (besides planning coups off course). Occupy the delta region permanently and deploy all the SSS, DMI etc to the region.

You are assuming the conflict will remain in the Niger Delta. If there is a permanent occupation, no oil will be pumped and lagos will definitely see some more action. With that, the stock exchange / market will collapse, we will need overdrafts from world bank / imf just to pay salaries. Everybody loses.

Negotiation is the key.

untill we can root out absolute corruption at all levels, within the government and out of it, social symptoms of this anomaly will continue to rear its head, amnesty or no amnesty, development or no development, criminality will never be out of the ND. God save us from MEND.

Apart from the obvious ignorance and lack of appreciation of the enormity of the ND debacle which you've displayed through your post,it's actually unguarded,callous and insensitive remarks like yours above that tend to justify armed insurrection and give the militants a measure of goodwill amongst some sections in the ND
Re: Mend Clarifies Position On Amnesty And The "defection" Of Boyloaf by babapupa: 8:37pm On Aug 05, 2009
The only callous and insensitivity I see here is your local and elected leaders screwing you up and people like you running around with blinders over your eyes bitching, moaning and pointing fingers in the wrong direction.

There is no armed insurrection my friend, it exists only on internet pages authored by clueless and misguided folks like you.

Your leaders and MEND are laughing their ways to the bank and scooping up choice mansions in Abuja and elsewhere and you're here calling other people names/Ignorant. Who is Ignorant? You of course.
