THE GREAT WHITE SHARKS OF THE ATLANTIC

The High Command of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) and the entire membership on behalf of the good people of the Niger Delta offer our condolences to the families and Mr. President, Muhammadu Buhari, C-In-C of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria, on the soldiers murdered in the ongoing military operation cum exercise codes named "Operation Crocodile Smiles". Mr. President from available facts, the untimely deaths of these four (4) fine soldiers in the creeks of Bayelsa and another sixteen (16) that was recorded during the first four days of the exercise along the River Ethiope, in Delta state but was earlier covered up is nothing more than act of murder. Their death is due to negligence, administrative greed and a corruption within the military constructed and perfected by the ascendant APC political class (conflict merchants we have mentioned times without numbers) from the Niger Delta and some Abuja paid and bought up interest. Mr. President, the worrisome dimensions about the ongoing reorganization and restructuring of the unending security operations in the Niger Delta is where two of your head of security apparatus are boasting to the minister of defense that, they have your hears. They assured him, it is now their turn to bloat their pockets and that they can talk you to even borrowing money to sustain the insecurity in the region, which the honourable minister of defense concurred to before the ongoing exercises.

We have earlier advised against timing, strategy and objectives of the show of military might and the deployment of military hardwares to the Niger Delta suddenly when there is certainly cessation of hostilities for peace talks to commence. But the top hierarchy of the Nigerian military led by Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, your Chief Of Army Staff was only after his pecuniary monetary gains and that of some Akpakpa- AJUDAIBO CHAMPAGNE intelligence chief who is desperately arm-twisting the peace processes continuously. The advice is that all lives matters! Why are you in a hurry to train over two thousand military personnel for just 4 to 14 days on amphibious military exercise to occupy the Niger Delta region when the Niger Elders and stakeholders are awaiting your response for peace talks? Have you forgotten the exploits of our great fathers during the infamous Nigerian Civil War in amphibious warfare without any military training? Is it because they were volunteers as such the success was credited to Late Lt. Col. Benjamin Adekunle and Lt. Col Olusegun Obasanjo instead of them? Mr. President as a veteran of that fateful war, you know that after all failures, the amphibious warfare and successes was under the command of Lt. Gen. Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro of blessed memories, the pride and face of the 3rd Marine Commandos (3MCDOS) constituted of able-bodied Ijaw warriors voluntarily. They were not given any formal military training prior to that great contribution to the unity of Nigeria, but they succeeded because there were amphibious by nature.


Mr. President, the truth be told, we are the "GREAT WHITE SHARKS" of the Atlantic when it come to marine warfare! "Operation Crocodile Smiles" is ironically, a simulative military operation cum exercise for waters less than 2 fathoms in depth orchestrated by the top hierarchy of the military to undermine any genuine disposition from your government towards restoration of tranquility in the Niger Delta and to exhaust your security budget for the year, except you are thinking otherwise towards peace in the Niger Delta too.

We the Ijaws and the people of the Niger Delta occurred here times immemorial. We have resisted, any attempt of exclusions in the control of our God Given Resources, from the Portuguese and British colonial trades and periods to date. We are ever ready to continue that resistance even without guns and ammunitions.

Finally, Mr. President, we want you to commission a high powered panel to investigate all processes that led to the ongoing military operation and exercise in the Niger Delta tagged "Operation Crocodile Smiles” and all the ongoing cover-ups of military mishaps that have led to more than twenty (20) deaths so far. Mr. President, in practical terms Crocodiles do not have any capacity to swim close to the water depth small tiger sharks swim and play around not to talk of the depths of the great whites, the heart of the nation's economic where we have overmastered. The mission ongoing in the Niger Delta is a brainchild of orchestrated military corruption at your face Mr. President. Operation Crocodile Smiles is nothing but a conduit pipe for military contracts, political profiteerism and patronages designed for the stress of your administration’s scarce resources. If it has any other purpose, it is satisfy the ego of a trigger happy Chief Army Staff who killed over 800 Shiite just to have the right of way to a meeting even though there were other routes to his meeting. For the records, depths of 2-3 fathoms in the Niger Delta region is likened to the waters our kids of ages between 3-8 years bathe and swarm with crocodiles, alligators and other aquatic creatures in the mangroves/freshwater swamps of Niger Delta Creeks.

Ok

Summary of the epistle: "Buhari tell the Soldiers to leave the ND and allow us to continue sabotaging the economy, because Buratai is just going to use the operation to steal money and nobody was expecting any soldier to lose his life during the operation"

What a laughable plea from the scAvengers who are now so humbled that for a moment I thought I was reading a letter from the Boy Scouts to the President.

The soldiers will continue to occupy the Delta until all traces of criminality, militancy, and terrorism are wiped out. Despite the expected loss of lives of Nigerian fighters during the operation, the military clearly remains undeterred in delivering on the objectives of Operation Crocodile Smile.

This guys are far from being smart.. If their collective IQ is higher than 110 they will surly reason differently

Show us the pics of the dead solders or u guys keep quiet and beg for negotiation .

It is alright for you to sit in the comfort of your room and type this gibberish. Did you spare a thought for the families of the deceased soldiers whose death was avoidable? Since the boys have shown themselves amenable to being talked to, isn't it fitting and proper to ease the military operations going on in the Niger Delta? You see, the operation "Crocodile Smile" could be a success, but it won't be without collateral damage. Some of our gallant men will be lost to the operations and some innocent souls in those communities will die too. Dialogue can save us the heartbreak of sending young soldiers to their early graves and communities being sacked by unruly soldiers all in an attempt to arrest boys who are ready to give up their arms.

What a load of hogwash.

Of course there will be losses on the side of the military in any military engagement so your propaganda is dead on arrival. Are you also suggesting that the anti terrorism operation in the NE should be halted or eased because we have lost soldiers to BH? That's the daftness of your statement looking back at you.

There is no way the military will be withdrawn when the scAvengers and other militants have not surrendered or been wiped out. The military cannot leave when there are still bombings of our oil installations. The military cannot leave when ragtag criminals are still grandstanding and calling its bluff in the region.

The militants were offered a long rope which they exhausted, one which at a point led many to assume that the military lacked the capacity to contain the criminals, until now. Make no mistake, the era of blackmailing government with violence is over.

First, the Niger Delta crisis and the Boko Haram crisis are not analogous. There are no similarities whatsoever between them. There is a difference between Islamic extremists blowing themselves up for reasons best known to them and militants fighting for resource control no matter how crude their method is.

Second, no where in my post did I call for the withdrawal of troops. I only posited that the government should tone down on its show of force.

From the report, one could see that the boys are ready to hold talks with the government which was what the government has been asking for. Why the government did an about-turn over dialogue is really puzzling.

The Niger Delta crisis requires great tact and adroitness to solve. It is not a crisis that guns and bullets can solve. That will only make many innocent souls victims of the war.
