Sometimes it is better to keep quiet and let others assume your silence masks great wisdom, than to talk and say something as crazy as this.

Do you even know what 'Ethnic cleansing' is?

An armed, dangerous cartel is stealing oil and gas resources that belongs to Nigeria and should belong to your children (and also devastating the environment in the Niger Delta)...and you're resisting Govt attempts to deal with them. Incredible

Intelligence isn't one of ur attributes, is it?
With every passing comment u betray urself to be an odious buffoon. And that's the problem with senseless people; they usually don't know when to stop.
U and every member of ur family should join the militants first. Get off the internet u senseless dolt. Do something real to support ur cause like arming urself and ur family members and going to the trenches first. After that u can invite me to fight opposite u.
Too many halfwits on nairaland.

Flets:


Kindly apply that logic to fulani herdsmen. Tell us how the airforce is helping to deal with them.

Flets:


As a matter of fact, the fulani herdsmen are the armed ones. The illegal refiners aint armed unless you mistake them for militants

texazzpete:



Don't be ridiculous.
Fulani herdsmen bring cattle from the North to sell in the South. While there are bad eggs among them, there are undoubtedly lots of them who do no wrong and just move their cattle.
How is the airforce supposed to act against the herdsmen? Strafe and bomb all cattle they see? Blow up all herds of cattle?

Some Fulani herdsmen are murderers and security threats. Those cannot be distinguished from the air. ALL Illegal refinery operators are criminals perpetrating a terrible economic and environmental crime against Nigeria. Those can easily be spotted from the air and routed.

Surely, even you can see the difference.




The illegal refiners are 100% under armed militant protection. Their sponsors make millions of dollars from their actions.

I am against illegal activities but this might just be ethnic cleansing.

Otherwise same force should have been used on fulani herdsmen

Hehehe
Those militants have just caused more trouble for illegal oil refiners in the creeks. Instead laying low and enjoying their illegal activities in d shadows without much scrutiny from the government, they drew attention to themselves by destroying pipelines. Now the government is out to prove who's boss. They are now destroying any means through which the militants could be getting their funding. And they are doing so with fiery vengeance.

texazzpete:


I see this opinion expressed all too often, and it's hilarious.

There's is a difference between small scale, highly inefficient and highly pollutive refining and large scale, environmentally friendly and modern refining.

This is like asking why Nigeria cannot put an astronaut on the moon because people make 'rocket' fireworks in Aba.

razortruth:
What I don't understand is how two or three uneducated and village boys can refine oil in the bush but the federal government with all its might and power CAN'T refine same oil for the citizens of Nigeria. Even the Biafra during that unfortunate war with Nigeria, refined both aviation and domestic oil in the bush. Is Nigeria cursed with bad leadership or what?

Finest001:

Oga there are small refinery and mobile refinery been used in some advanced countries this many experts have adviced our government to look into as its not money consuming and license could be given to individuals who are interested. Instead the government and the thieves who are benefiting from the situation would not want that.

Flets:


Stop playing to the gallery my friend. .

Flets:

Fulani herdsmen have been identified as the 4th most deadly terrorist organisation in the globe and here you are downplaying their potency and justifying government's inaction towards a terrorist group.

Flets:

What do you mean by being under armed protection? Are the illegal refiners armed or unarmed? Why play ostrich?

jaittofidelix1:
I don watch this movie jooor, Na film u dey upload oga

texazzpete:


Has any individual - to your knowledge - approached the FG via NNPC/DPR to request for license for modular refineries and have been refused?

Why are you even moving the goalposts? Are the people in the creeks using safe, environmentally friendly refineries? Have you run economics on the small scale refinery process to know if it is economically viable?

These guys in the creeks are using stolen, free oil. What makes you think their business will remain viable if they have to buy better equipment and then purchase oil from the FG at $40 per barrel?

Strangely you didn't deal with the issues on ground the likes of you only throw missiles online. If you have ever been to Niger delta before you would think otherwise.. Crazy afonjas and their sit at home and earn money syndrome!

Basic common sense cannot be seen as 'playing to the gallery'.




Why are you clowns always eager to shift the goalposts so shamelessly?
Nobody here said anything about 'Government inaction'. I gave cogent point why the Nigerian Airforce is of limited effectiveness in tackling the menace of some belligerent armed fulani herdsmen. Unless, of course, you still insist ALL herdsmen are terrorists and that the airforce adopts a policy of bombing and strafing all herds of cattle they spot.





'under armed protection' is essentially the same as being armed.
Your misuse of the 'playing ostrich' phrase is noted...thanks for adding levity to this discussion, even though it is at your expense.

NPComplete:


Bla bla bla.....more senseless talk

Flets:


Again downplaying the threat of one of the most dangerous terrorist groups in the globe. That's the height of desperation to sound politically correct.

If I may ask.... under whose arm protection are the illegal refiners? You've vaguely used that phrase more than once that its almost sounding true to you.

For your info, the illegal refiners are down the food chain and without any obvious arm protection. They are merely creek miscreants refining and selling condensate. The only ones that could be considered under some form of arm protection are the major crude bunkerers who also sell crude to the refiners.

Enough of your uninformed rants.

texazzpete:



Speaking of 'uininformed'...

'Condensate' is not one of the products of local refining of crude oil. The guys in the creek refine out gasoline and diesel, discarding much of the heavier by-products and waste water in the waterways.

As the name implies, 'Condensate' is low density liquid that condenses out of gas.

Fulani militants (who can also be herdsmen) are described as terrorists, NOT 'Fulani herdsmen'. Unless you're accusing Southern beef eaters of supporting terrorism

To explain it to you in simple terms

1) All Fulani militants are terrorists
2) Some Fulani militants are herdsmen
3) Not all herdsmen are terrorists.

If this doesn't sink in, you cannot be helped.

Flets:


You can twist it all you want but Fulani Herdsmen (not militants) are the fourth most deadly terrorist group.

We know Buhari is sympathetic to this terrorist group known as Fulani Herdsmen but we wont allow rabble-rousers like yourself twist the narrative to suit your evil aim.

texazzpete:


Global Terrorist Index (GTI) that these nigerian news journalists are quoting called them 'fulani militants' when they made that statement on their deadliness.

Here, have a look yourself. http://static.visionofhumanity.org/sites/default/files/2015%20Global%20Terrorism%20Index%20Report.pdf

Your problem is your rank ignorance and your pride prevents you from seeing this and humbly seeking help.

I expected better from someone like you who has been educated. Staking a claim based on headlines instead of reading the actual source.

You were previously a source of amusement, but now you just elicit feelings of strong disappointment. Shame.
