More like it, Niger deltans have never projected Igbo interest or sentiment since 1967, it is unconvincing that a Niger delta group will demand the release of an oil less umuahia man, Nnamdi kanu.
Go to their site and see how they write ijaw names and facilities, these guys are IPOB for sure.
I just wonder why Niger delta warriors will allow IPOB to be decimating their land. It is unheard of, the shame is on Niger delta youths before the Nigerian government.
Avengers = IPOB, IPOB = Avengers.

I see you in the nearest future being a football coach please when the time is ripe for it, pick DUNDEE UNITED!

WafiGuy:
Those guys are like goats, they need some sticks. Giving them carrots only will not yield any positive result.

Remember Tom Polo was forced to accept amnesty by Yaradua's guns. He was a Lord in camp 5 daring FGN. The same people that pleaded for him then are still around today urging government to be nice to the criminals. I don't know why we are so short in memories and always failing to learn from history.

LordAdam:
OP, join the military or keep your bloody mouth shut.

The NDA has Buhari in a cage.

A. They are faceless and anonymous (so there is no one to put a cross hair on, like was the case with MEND and Okah).
B. The Chief Prosecutor of ICC has already visited Nigeria and Buhari has over 3 current human rights abuse cases in the Hague
C. Any scorched-earth campaign like what happened in Odi would have disastrous consequences. I'll list three:
1. The ICC would beam their searchlight on Nigeria. Because of the North East military abuses, Shiites carnage, and killing IPOB defenseless protesters perpetrated in the last 1 year, Buhari's leash is very short at the moment.
2. Militants sitting on the fence would become anti-government, and even pro-government militants like Ayiri and Tom would lose their voices.
3. Nigeria's oil output would fall far below the 1 million bpd mark and our economic situation would be worse off.
4. With the economic situation biting deep more than 1 year after being elected, anti-Buhari sentiments would begin to soar, and impeachment proceedings may likely occur.


GEJ was the first democratically elected president in the history of Nigeria to be voted out.
PMB may make his own record as the first democratically elected president to be impeached or disgraced out of power.

People like our dear OP with their uneducated comments would make that happen by pushing him to make horrible mistakes. He has already made one by going tough at first. Sending the tanks and fighter jets with resulting non-precise targeting would be the last horrible mistake he makes as a CIC.

Bombing a civilian settlement with civilian casualties solely because you are targeting a few hostiles is a WAR CRIME.

Maybe, Buhari wants to add "War Criminal" to his growing list of unenviable titles!

Who is laughing with this one? intellectual discuss? With you? Re-read your thread 20 times and tell me any reasonable thing you concoct in there if not the agbero-approach way of settling knotty issues bedevilling this Country for years. You want a commando-style approach to settle a volatile issue as the Niger Delta case? Only a fool will engage you in your folly and concoctions of banal submissions.....perhaps you have seen too many movies lately maybe with your coaching job, acting can also come handy.

Bullshitt. Even the United States with it's self acclaimed human rights record uses the term "collateral damage" to categorize the victims of bombardment like we saw in Iraq and Afghanistan. If the federal government is pushed to the wall, they will go for the last option which is brute force. All the amnesty international of this world will only publish human rights abuses in their hypocritical manner like they always do. Nothing will happen to buhari. Obasanjo is eating pounded yam and pammy in otta at the moment despite leveling Odi and his contributions in the civil war. Yakubu gowon is still a free man despite commanding the armed forces that fought the civil war with video evidences of troops atrocities scattered on YouTube. What has your almighty ICC done to them both?? You don't seem to understand international politics and diplomacy. Lauren Gbagbo and Charles Taylor went against the wishes of the west and the result was their trial and subsequent jail terms in hague. Buhari is an ally of the west and he has proven to be a man capable to tackle the malady of the Nigerian state so he enjoys their support.

LordAdam:


You seem to forget what today's date is?

Al-Bashir is fighting for his seat of power because he killed defenseless civilians (He is only still there because of Russia, Buhari does not have that kind of backing).

Gadaffi was sodomized with a knife at the end because he used brute force on protesters and put off negotiations.

The time of impunity is over. Al-Bashir and Gadaffi have leveled entire communities in their domains before when they defied their government and got away with it. Why did things change recently and they are paying/paid with their nose?

'Odi' cannot happen again in 2016. Buhari would not get away with it, like OBJ did because the times have changed.

The US government jailed US soldiers that killed Talibans and urinated on their bodies. US Soldiers that kill indiscriminately on official duty face court martial. The West do not level communities to make a statement.

Mubarak was a friend of the West. He made a peace deal with Israel to the chagrin of fellow Middle-Eastern countries. He placed Egypt in NATO and America sold F-16 fighter jets to the Egyptian Air Force. That did not stop the West from calling for his head.

The West owes Buhari nothing. He is dispensable. There are thousands of people that can replace him without hurting Western interests.

If the West can watch as Libya becomes a cesspit of war and violence barely years after they pushed for closer ties with Gaddaffi, they can take out Buhari via any means necessary without so much as a pip.

Do you know that Philip Anthony Hammond, current UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, warned Buhari about taking military action against the militants? http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/uk-warns-buhari-using-military-confrontation-in-niger-delta-could-end-in-disaster/

UK and France were the first guys to start enforcing the no-fly zone in Libya and pushed and paid for the successful Libya rebel fighting. In fact the guy who killed Gadaffi is believed to be a French agent.

The Daily Mail of the UK is already stoking anti-Buhari sentiments in the UK populace and the fantastically corrupt tag by Cameron does not make things anything better than they are already.

President Buhari is exhausting all peaceful options to protect himself and his government from appearing to take the option of brute force by default, especially as the President is from a different region.

If you ask me, I'm in full support of this tactical approach; offer them everything except what they want and let them brag, make noise and continue bombing to the world's ears. I expect the government to start globally publicising the damage that the NDA are doing to the Nigerian economy and their people's lands and livelihood so as to earn some sympathy, before deploying the full and final force which is necessary to flatten them.

Already, we have a spokesman's name for the 'faceless' group in less than a week, so the strategy is working. Give them room to gloat themselves into their own destruction, pride has always come before a damned fall.

The strategy is working, exercise a little patience. This is Buhari.

ThundrCork:


You have a good point there. But, how do you deal with a group that is bent on secession? if you were the president, would you like secession to happen in your administration? Even when Nigeria was benefiting from over $100 dollar per barrel it was still difficult to meet up with the financial demands of the country. With secession, there is no doubt, it will result to brutal suffering for the north because their area of strength which is Agriculture is weak. There is no other way PMB could have done it other than with force especially when the reserve has dwindled so low. leakage or waste can not be tolerated at this time especially if you are determined to make corrections. If i were president i would do what PMB is doing only that my entire cabinet would not be politicians but young and sound technocrats who are well traveled and exposed

LordAdam:


You don't deal with secession by rolling in tanks. That is so pre-2010.

You call the parties and negotiate with them. If negotiations stall then you call for a referendum.

The National Confab report of 2014 called for restructuring of Nigeria's government. The Aburi accord which Gowon signed and then reneged on called for something similar (confederate state with more sovereignty but still part of a union).

The North dismissed both squarely. Dismissing the first led to the killing of over 3 million Igbos.

The Fulani do not know that times have changed. They cannot keep forcing a union. IPOB, now Avengers. Even if these are stopped, in a couple of years time, another would spring up.

Buhari cannot oversee the killing of 3 million Niger Deltans like Gowon did and get away with it in 2016. They would not have money to even fight such war.

The majority of Niger Deltans do not want to leave Nigeria just yet. We just want more control of our resources.

Enforce federalism and the Niger Delta Elders and populace would ask these boys to sheathe their sword. Until then, only non-patriotic elements in ND (the Judases like Amaechi), and those looking to curry political favor (the state governors and chieftains like Ayiri) would be pro-government. The rest of us would say nothing thereby giving tacit support to the NDA or be vocal about it like Asari.

We in Niger Delta know what we want. Ken Saro Wiwa was killed, nothing happened. Then Odi happened, and militancy came in full force; in the end we got 13%, and a Niger Delta Ministry, and a Niger Delta Development Trust Fund. If another Odi or something bigger happens, the fight would be tenser and we could very well get our republic.

The Fulani are blind to the trend. We are well aware of it.

Enforce the 2014 confab report and watch all these secessionist talks fizzle out.

But Buhari would not listen to reason. But let him not worry, he would be forcefully bent.

Let me prove to you that Buhari is over-hyped.

1. When he came he removed road blocks. A few bombs went off later and he was forced to reinstate them.
2. When he first came he said only NNPC would import fuel and stopped marketers from importing. After months of scarcity, he allowed marketers to start importing.
3. When he first came he said he wouldn't devalue the naira. After the economy shrank and people started calling him a failure, he allowed the official exchange rate to slide. Finally, doing as IMF has been telling him since June 2015.
4. He first said he would "crush" the vandals (NDA). After output fell from 2.2 mbp to 1.3 mpb, he gave $10m to Kachiku to bribe NDA in Abuja.

I could keep going.

Buhari is as inconsistent as a teenage girl on her period. He is a chicken. NDA would bully him to submission. Marketers, IMF have done it already.
