stop lying, the genuine issues of the Niger delta according to the militants is that they want money, when did they start getting concerned with environmental degradation, are the likes of asari and co still fighting for freedom after making megabucks? abegi

Yes, the plight of the Niger Delta is all lies to your likes and your government who rather decidedly remain unconcerned and unperturbed. In your minds all you see is megabucks from oil from Niger Delta. It doesn't matter to address the issues pointed out.

FYI, it's very difficult to dismiss struggles with genuine causes like this or wish them away.

Just download the movie I told you about " black November " you'll understand bro. I understand your point

Needless, they know and choose to deny, and out of sheer hardheartedness refuse to give the cause and genuine issues being pointed out the needed attention. All they see is "megabucks" from Niger Delta oil.

Who knows this group and who/what they represent? The government of the day needs to holistically re-think its politico-security strategy. As we speak, production of several companies via the Forcados line has been shut since February, resulting in colossal loss to the nation and companies, States and even communities involved by way of its impact on oil revenue including 13% derivation. It's laudable and commendable to deal with criminals but use of force as a stand alone to resolve the Niger Delta issue is an unviable proposition. Yes, criminals should be isolated and dealt with, but the wider issues and grievances that throw up restiveness and instability in the region, needs to be better appreciated and handled with uncommon statecraft. It doesn't appear that critical stakeholders understand what we are dealing with, at least, and perhaps, not yet.
