The Niger Delta Situation And The Misguided Niger Delta Avengers Group by TonyeBarcanista(m): 7:57pm On May 07, 2016
Since the last 72 hours, a group of misguided youths from the Niger Delta region, specifically Delta state that claimed to be Niger Delta Avengers have been carrying out wanton destruction of oil facilities belonging to FG and oil companies in Warri, Delta state. To them, their rridiculous acts is to coerce the FG to meet to their "demand" and to retaliate the economic and environmental neglect of the Niger Delta region by both the FG and oil companies.

WHAT DO THEY WANT?
What is the demand of Niger Delta Avengers? Is it to force the FG to press on the Oil companies to stop Gas flairing, oil spilling and other environmental degradation? Are they asking the FG to begin the process of clean up of the already polluted environment? Are they demanding that oil companies recruit locals? Are they demanding federal. Presence in our region? Are they advocating for power supply in the creeks or thwy are demanding for scholarships for indigenous people?

If the above are there demands then they are foolish, misguided and not different from the Nigeria State(not just Buhari government) whose system has deliberately kept our people backward since 1960. They are not different from the oil companies that pollutes our land and leave it in the most deplorable state. The Niger Delta Avengers by their acts have taken us 100 years backward even when we are already bbackward trying to go forward.

FOOLISHNESS IN THEIR DEMAND
How can our environment be better when they blow up installations to further pollute our environment? Which investor would want to come to our land when they know that some misguided youths would wake up one day to destroy their facilities? How would our people be employed when we are chasing investors away instead of engage them to make them sit up? What happens to our environment on the long run? Is it not a fool that will burn his father's house to spite his village chief? How does the blowing of facilities and economic sabotage solve the fundamental issues? Who suffers most when oil majors leave our shores? Is it the Yoruba woman in Osogbo, the Hausa man in Kaduna, the Igbo man in Aba or the Niger Delta man? What is the wisdom in attacking facilities at a point when patriotic Niger Delta sons and daughters are calling Oil majors and NNPC to relocate their headquarters to our region? In fact, the actions of NDA only vindicate the decision of oil majors to move their HQ away from our region to Lagos state.

Are the misguided ND Avengers not aware that our so called oil has been fallen in value and is even surplus in the international market? Are they aware that the so called oil we pride on has been discovered in Lagos and Ogun states? Will they drink the oil if everyone leave them to it? Are they aware that the glory of oil is fallen just as the glory of coal fell? Who are they avenging for? Threatening Tompolo would never give them credibility. They should consider themselves as economic terrorists and enemies of Niger Delta people. Did the Igbos destroy igboland to spite FG during the civil war? Did IPOB agitators destroy their communities in protest of Nnamdi KANU detention? Did Major Adaka Boro destroy ijawland during his struggle?

One don't need a prophet to know that this group is sponsored by a rich guy someqhere or organization somewhere. The FG should investigate the people behind it and bring them to justice.

JUSTICE FOR NIGER DELTA
Meanwhile, the FG and oil majors must share responsibility in the deeds of the Avengers group. The situation in the region is terrible and both the government and oil majors are not showing any sympathy to our plight. The creeks that brings the dollars is in pathetic state, and this is unacceptable.

Amnesty is NOT the solution, neither is total military action the solution. We must address the problems and not the symptoms to bring peace and justice to our region. If we don't treat the problems, more groups will keep coming out to cause trouble in a bid to get their "own share".

As for the people behind the Niger Delta Destroyers masquerading as Avengers, I pray they come to sanity and realise their deeds.





God Bless Niger Delta!!!
God Bless Nigeria!!!
God Bless Our Struggle For Better Society!!!

I don't believe there's any militant group called Niger Delta Avengers carrying out attacks Base on their interests.

I think this is a perfect ploy designed by APC to excuse their oozing incompetence in the Power and Petroleum sector of our economy.

The so called avengers erroneously believe that OYEL is synonymous with Niger Delta. They fail to realise tgat Even with our oil we are looking for buyers and they are sending wrong signals to other investors. They are foolish to understand the implications of their pathetic acts. They don't know why oil majors moved their HQ to Lagos in the first instance and the benefit it is to Lagos and Yoruba. instead of making the area attractive to investors they are driving investors away. What a shame

Only a politically naive man won't see the tricks APC is playing on Nigerians.

You lack professionalism, incompetence is your 'follow come' tag, then you resort to arming innocent and ignorant Niger Delta youths just to excuse your lack of political/economical finesse. This is utterly egregious, APC making Nigeria indirectly ungovernable through Niger Delta Expendables.

Niger Delta activist, Chief Ayimi Emami has urged the Federal Government not to bow to “cheap blackmail” antics of a former militant leader who is allegedly behind Thursday a d Friday morning attacks on strategic oil facilities and pipelines in Warri area of Delta state.

Emami’s advice cane against the backdrop of renewed attack on oil and gas platforms of Chevron Nigeria limited by the militant group, Niger Delta Avengers.

He said, “Those who have issues bothering on criminal activities and illegalities should go to the court to answer did their deeds and clear their names rather than resorting to cheap blackmail to arm-twist the Federal Government and the EFCC to drop the charges against them.

“One man cannot hold the FG to ransome; he cannot hold the nation by forming a parallel government within the Nigerian state.”

Although Chief Emami did not specifically mentioned former MEND leader, Government Ekpemupolo (aka Tompolo) it was clear that he was alluding to the warlord, who is wanted by the EFCC over his dealings with NIMASA during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Tompolo had surreptitiously denied link with NDA in advertorials and media statements, Emami said he was not impressed by the gimmick

He said, “It has now become a pattern for this wanted man to preempt the attacks by placing advertorial denouncing the group and after which the group would strike again.

“This is a clear and plain childish prank; disown the group three days before they strike and they would attack, blow up oil facilities and give a farcical reason for the attacks.

“The last time he said some APC members are behind the attacks, how did the ‘leader’ of the PDP become so abreast of the workings of these so-called disgruntled APC members? Who does he thinks he is fooling? What intelligence does he have to know who and when the attacks will come?” Emami queried.

Speaking further, the Itsekiri traditional titleholder claimed that the recent attacks are part of a move to force President Muhammadu Buhari to soft-pedal on investigations of large scale fraud and theft of public fund during the last administration.

“They want to make Nigerians and Mr President to believe that only this wanted criminal can safeguard oil facilities in the region in order to pave the way for another bazaar in the name of pipeline/facilities surveillance.

“But we want to urge Mr President to be steadfast and not give in to the antics of criminals because those who are genuinely committed to the development of the Niger Delta are behind him.”

To this end, Ayiri expressed his determination and those of other Niger Deltan leaders to support the government to unravel the whereabouts of the masterminds, their sponsors and backer.

I absolutely agree with you on this. I think there is a need to take your message to the creeks not here on the internet. The actions of the group would only further worsen the environmental degradation of the Niger Delta and its attendant health implications. This just shows that we can't keep throwing money at a problem and expect it to go away. So much money was sunk into the amnesty programme yet it has done nothing to abate the underlying problems. I believe there is a need to hold talks with those who genuinely want progress for the Niger-Delta and an actionable blueprint should be drawn-up for adequate implementation. The Niger Delta deserves more attention than having soldiers been posted there to ensure the continuous flow of oil revenue.

I kinda share your sentiments. I believe the govt is seriously behind this. Over 90% of the militants accepted amnesty and I don't see those who refused the Amnespy prog developing the ability to carry out such attacks..


Mr protection seeker AKA barcansita, always cross check your facts very well before running to put up an article. This is why you've been the most merucrial monicker on nairalander. Today you're for Jnathan, tommorwo for APC, NEXT back to PDP, in fact I see most of your articles as a show-up and always trying to display that you know how to write. Well, you may look for editorial appointment with some major newspaper and there you can put your writing skill to test.
