Niger Delta Avengers sends strong message to the world

– The Niger Delta Avengers have sent a powerful letter to the world leaders

– The militants ask to stop the sufferings of the people from the oil-rich region

– According to them, the world should not wait until Niger Delta go the Sudan ways


Nigerian new militant group Niger Delta Avengers has appealed to world leaders to intervene into the country’s affairs.

The Avengers in a statement released on June 9, Thursday, complained about the state of the Niger Delta region, accusing the Nigerian government for its depleted condition.

The group also advised world leaders to act quickly and not wait until the Niger Delta goes the way of Sudan.

The statement titled “Enough of this Injustice” reads: “Since the day crude oil was discovered in commercial quantity and quality in Oloibiri, present day Bayelsa state, what we have being asking from successive governments in Nigeria is portable drinking water in the midst of plenty of water mass, electricity, roads, employment, quality education/educational facilities, resource control, participation in the oil business and inclusive governance that will engender substantial freedom.


“The reserve have been the case, from Oloibiri, Brass LNLG and export terminals in Bayelsa; Bonny LNLG and export terminals in River state; ExxonMobil in Akwa Ibom; Escravos EGTL/ Tankfarm and export terminals; Forcados Tankfarm and export terminals in Delta state operated respectively by Anglo-Dutch Shell, Chevron/Texaco Over seas, Agip ENI, ExxonMobil. The history of the communal lives is terror of poverty, inhumanity and desolate living conditions. But when you move into these facilities operated by the Multinational Oil Corporations, they are living like Kings and Presidents.

“For over five decades, we have given multinational oil corporations and their collaborator the Nigerian state peace, cooperation and love for the crude oil to flow unhindered from our land. The continuous tranquility is only manifesting in the development of mountains, rock, valleys, deserts and lagoon but the Niger Delta territory continually alienated from all types of development and all essence of quality human life. Main while all successive governments worship the crude oil taken from the region. Our communities and the people are only good at securing the pipelines, oil and gas facilities. What a tragedy?

“We are calling on the international community especially Britain, France, the United State of America, Russia, China and European Union to speak up against this ongoing terror and come to the aid of the Niger Delta, as witnesses to this grave inhumanity and history of terror perpetuated against the people of the Niger Delta daily. This history of terror, we the Niger Delta Avengers will resist and correct with every means necessary. We have nothing to lose in the battles ahead; justice they say is only found within the structure of a nation state, rather than provide this justice the Nigerian government has decided to mobilise her military might to intimidate, torture, maim, victimise and bombard a section of the nation state and her citizenry to allow the free flow of our oil.

“Some persons, groups, and commentators may ask, what do the people of Niger delta want? We are not like some of these personalities who run champagne parties or turn Rivers state government house into a house patrimony of god-sons and prebendalism. They says the progress and success of a nation state is the reflection of her constitution that is not manufactured to favour some section and excludes the yearning and aspirations of others; but the indwelling spiritual and historical development of its people.

“Since the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914 to date, our resources have been used to sustain the political administrative live wire of Nigeria to the exclusion of the Niger Delta.

I'm very surprised about this whole entity called Nigeria! The ND region is a complete mess yet they continue to be the powerhouse of this Nation. When I look at the problems of Nigeria, the quote of a wiseman "Man's inhumanity to man is the greatest sin" comes to mind. This wicked act by the Nigerian Government towards the ND people is not only inhumane but also devilish. I mean, after wasting time and scarce resources on the Confab report they just squash it aside. If the simple demands by these set of "freedom fighters" are not met, I fear for the country. The abokis and APthiefs party cannot implement the confab report or the federalism we're clamouring for yet they were able to paint PDP black (which they were), I see this party going haywire in tough months follow.

May God save this nation
