I have not dismissed the possibilities of Mend been used for political reasons for they has already proved to be bunch of hungry fellow searching for survival. I have not seen or heard of freedom fighters kidnapping for money – or demand for oil-wells- does illegal oil business and not even a single social responsibility to the community they claim to represent.

These are not freedom fighters but criminals who will stop at nothing because this is what they do to acquire houses and cars in other part of the country – not where they represent.  It is just sad that some Nigerians could fall for this

mr.official:

the governments will continue to prolong this issue if they do not do the right thing. One militant die, them born another one. Why can't they do what is right and end this. They've been milking the whole country for years now, ordinary electricity is privilege. Na wa ooo, now they are arresting looking for bombers showing smartness to continue their regular stealing. One thing i believe is that, if they do not meet the demand of the Naija Deltans things like this will not stop, because an idle mind is the devil's workshop.

mr.official:

Yes and they say, please give us food that will may stop. Silly you, always looking for excuse.

You are not in your right state of mind . . . Is Niger Delta's problem different from that of Nigeria's and who do you think the bombing affects? guess who? common Nigerians- the politician's child has to be abroad for education or managing a business there. Tell me one politician that has been killed or even affected from the operations of Mends, mention one or don't we have political leaders in the ND region. I am from that region and i will tell you straight-up that region bags the highest electoral fraud and corrupt politicians from the History of Nigeria.

Show me a place in Nigeria that has constant electricity since that's your measuring rod. Nigerians are suffering - FG formed a commission specially structured to bring development to Niger Delta, this commission is led and administered by locals . . FG also formed a ministry specially for Niger Delta development - not to mention the state allocation formula where ND states has the highest state allocation . . .

People just don't get it. FG has done all it can to foster development in Niger Delta region - it is in the hands of the people to check the ministry and NDDC and question their governors.

There is no such thing as true federalism in Nigeria and we cannot have that because of our political history.

mr.official:

So how do we end it now?

Gbomo averred that MEND had made its point with the bombings in Abuja and would employ the same method of attack on military targets. This, he explained, would happen when the group declares resumption of hostilities.
He, however, tendered apology to the families of innocent Nigerians that lost their lives to the Abuja explosions, saying, it was not their intent to kill them.
According to him, “Our apology stems from the avoidable loss of innocent lives as this was not our intent. We wanted to use the opportunity to blame the security agencies for not playing their roles considering the forewarning we gave them

tkb417:

This is simple

anytime an innocent life is lost cos of MEND, 15 friends/families/foes/associates of theirs shd be slaughtered if they cannot find the perpetrators

an eye for 15 eyes

when they start beheading their children and wives, they'll come to the roundtable

so why do they want to attack military installations? arent they supposed to be bombing the people that milked them dry like Ibori and co

Jomo Gbomo abi Gbomo Gbomo whatever his name is , must be a naughty person

caringchi:

pls i need to understand some things:
1. who is really the leader of MEND? (once heard it was no longer Henry Okah )
2. this purported spokesman, Gbomo that made statements and further threats, has it been verified that hE is the one making the statements and that it was from MEND. I AM SAYING THIS, COS IF WE CONCLUDE IT IS MEND WITHOUT VERIFYING IT, we might not be able to find the real culprits, making it easy for them to strike again undetected

secondly, "He, however, tendered apology to the families of innocent Nigerians that lost their lives to the Abuja explosions, saying, it was not their intent to kill them".
what a dumb thing to say, it was not their intention to kill, and they still planted the bombs

Dandas:

Its Lord Luggard that put us into this wahala.If we had Northerners(Hausa,Fulani,etc),Easterners(Igbos,Niger delta) and Westerners(Yorubas) as respective countries,all these nonsense wouldnt have been happening.Now the three regions are put under one umbrella as one country.Tell me what Hausa/fulani/igbo/yoruba man etc have in common both in tradition,language,way of life,physical appearance etc?.If this country had been divided into three countries like that ,all these rubbish both politically and otherwise will be stopped.No thanks to Luggard.

samoks:


, This is aching my heart so much. Of all the regions in Nigeria, S.E and S.S are the least developed,  when you raise the issue, a Yoruba man will tell you that we should go and ask our own leaders what they did with our money allocated to us,

My question now is: what funds was used to develop Lagos,  was it state funds or Federal Funds?

what Funds was used to develop Abuja? state of Federal,

The 2 busiest airport in the country today, where are they?? Lagos and Abuja,  Ministry of Niger Delta,  where is the head-quarters situated,

God Bless you my brother

People are just using sentiments to support these bunch of criminals?

how do they justify the kidnapping of Construction workers building roads in their community

Julius berger is no longer in Rivers state because of the kidnapping of her employees.

now how do you get development if you pursue the ppl that are suppose to bring it to you?
