Buhari is too dull to comprehend a simple political equation. His advisers and special advisers lack ideas too, no wonder he has been unable to make a single sound decision after being elected.
Dullard.

Endison:
I just pity Buhari.
He doesn't know what he's up against.
Na him mouth kill am

Donariok:
I TRUST MY BROTHERS FROM THE SOUTH WA$TE, THEY WILL SOON START THEIR "IT IS THEIR LAND" SERMON
..WE 5% BE FEEDING THE ODUDUWA'S SINCE 14AD

phlemzy:
No need applying force any further as it will yield almost no result, alternate measures need be taken by FG. The region in question is way too large for the Nigerian Army to give a total and effective surveillance. If dialogue will eventually be sought at the final end, there's really no point waiting for further damages to be done before discussing with the aggrieved.

theMEGAman:
guy forget the heat tinz we have been feeling the heat since after biafran war and ur enjoy, so if u start feeling it now no problem. come to fighting, what they are fighting for will never fight them back rather it will give them over joy, just tell buhari to give them freedom and then one year come to Niger Delta u will never recognize the area again. thank you.

Nawa4nl:


You need an education to do cost benefit analysis, we all know that the dullard is an illiterate.

The whole country is suffering under this man.

ShowYourCertificate:
What can a certificateless senile president do about this?

mandax:


Too much thoughtless loud mouth.
How could a whole president be so thoughtless when he told an emir of his home state, Katsina, that to acquire and enjoy the oil proceeds they are now enjoying, two million people were killed?

Did Buhari not know that some sections of Nigeria believe that Boko Haram was used to sack Jonathan for Buhari to become president, after all, Buhari had been rejected thrice before in the polls?

AdaNri1:
I thought Nigerian army is so mighty that it crushes innocent and unarmed protesters in Igbo land. Now see them see armed protesters...3D glasses still on

IDnoble1:

what are you saying nau, are they, NDA, ready for that? They themselves are not ready nau,wanting to break away.

NavierStokes:




Any one with a heart will know that government owes a lot to these communities rather than peanuts given to their leaders. If government wants to touch their lives they should go ahead and do so rather than give peanuts to their leaders and use that as accused to deny these people of development.
On a final note some friends from these indigenous companies have told me about the wonderful ways they engage the communities for their csrs and they achieve meaningful results that positively impacts on the communities. The government can borrow a leaf or two from there.

prof12:
WHO SAID THE NIGER DELTA TERRORISTS CANNOT BE BROUGHT TO THEIR KNEES BY FORCE?
THERE IS NOWHERE IN THE WORLD THAT TERRORISTS EVER DEFEATED A REGULAR STANDING ARMY AND NIGERIA WILL NOT BE AN EXCEPTION.
THE FOOLS CALLED THE NDA ,THEIR SYMPATHIZERS AND SPONSORS WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO SHAME VERY SOON.
NIGER DELTA CREEKS AND THEIR ENVIRONS WILL BE TURNED INTO A WAR ZONE.

amokemi:
Keep blowing up everything. If they beg you please don't agree. Destroy all the oil installations. At least that will make our leaders put on their thinking caps to develop other sectors of the economy. But as for your region, be ready to cope with the effect of your actions for the next century. For those supporting the blow ups, maybe you should check the effects of oil spillage.

Well done the avengers. Keep destroying your environment.

codedguy1:
people asking the FG to negotiate with these guys are missing the point.

they are ready to cripple this govt no matter what simply because when you talk of dialogue things like pipeline contracts and amnesty schemes are proposed, this is not what these guys want as they have demonstrated.

Dialoguing with them when their major demand is basically decentralisation of the country which will reduce the powers at the center and make the region manage their resources to pay a certain amount to the center will not be easy.

The issue now will be IS THE FG READY TO DO THAT?

If the FG announces today that it will sponsor a bill to the house for the adoption of true federalism/regionalis as contained in the 2014 confab report, i bet the bombings will stop and further negotiations can take place.

justice and fairness demands that every region should be productive and contribute to the center, This will even make us more united as a country and the slogan united in diversity will make more sense.

my two cents

I had to delete part of your post to avoid taking up space on the thread, apologies for that.
I agree the government has not done enough, in fact it is safe to say the government has done nothing at all but at the same time I'm speaking from my own point of view which might not be rational to other people, I believe these people have not done enough for themselves too, there is a chain of command, why are they not holding their respective LG and SG by the throat to ensure there is increased government presence in their midst.
Again, maybe because I've the mindset of do what you can with the little you've, I feel they've not put to good use the little they got, I will give you a scenario, I served in a secondary school in one of the Ijaw communities, this is a school that has a single block of 6 classrooms then buildings that housed offices and residential quarters, no laboratory or similar things. Based on what I heard, the community usually has one or two slots with the oil company domiciled there, the community fixes in someone to work, the person gets paid part and remits the other part to the community (this is different from the numerous positions available to indigenes), going by this I expected them to have a certain amount that goes into developing their children vis a vis provision of conducive learning environment since the government at all tiers have failed in their responsibilities, rather what I saw is a case of once the money comes, we divide and eat and wait for the next pay day.
Just maybe my side of the argument is borne out of me being a non indigene of that area but it's an open secret the Nigerian govt has failed her citizens and has failed the South South even more.

I get irritated whenever someone says the government hasn't done enough. I've been to bonny (stayed at hospital road), brass (Ben mark hotel), warri (Cyprian hotel refinery road), Escravos ogidigben and Portharcourt and onne. These people have DESOPADEC and the other oil agencies in the other states. They have the NDDC, they have the Ministry of Niger delta. Then they have the office of the special assistant to the President on Niger delta or Amnesty. What the hell else do they want? They give them billions of dollars and Naira every year and they keep squandering it on rubbish. Then they go and plant Dynamites on the pipelines and threaten to blow them if we refuse to give them more! We can't continue living like that! Enough is enough!
