MEND should stop killing foriegners,They should kill Their leaders collecting illegal fee from these oil companies.

That lunatic "ono" calling for bombings in Lagos, thinking that will bring the state to its knees?? Its obvious u havent lived in Lagos, such action will only trigger a defiance among lagosians & a door- to-door killing of Niger deltans in lagos. After that we'l see who would be forced to repent.

Desist from making such idiotic statements in the future. If Ndeltans cant blame leaders like Alamiesegha for their problems, then they should shut up & stop isolating themselves from the rest of Nigeria.

@Jagwar,
It will be difficult joining issues with you on this matter after so much has been said and assimilated by sane, reasonable, responsible and upright people. So, I think I should just ignore you. No point arguing with a short-sighted, shallow minded person like you.

Anyways, I'll advise you read through earlier entries on this matter before going to press. It will surely take off a lot of steam from your already burnt body!

Someone who called for the bombing of innocents is calling someone else short-sighted and shallow minded.

The irony is unbelievable!

Well i'm not surprised. I wasnt expecting to be able to have an intelligent conversation with one with views like yours anyway. I feel so sorry for u & ur line of thought.

Makes me wonder y incitement of violence & terrorism is allowed in this forum .Those who can't think constructively should be banned.

Guys,now that the constitition amendment talk is over,what next for Niger Delta?

Mariory, I am suprised a northerner would have the guts to criticize someone for being shot-sighted and narrow minded. Must I remind you abou tthe cartoon riots?

I am not a Northener. I'm not even muslim. I should really say something about your ignorance but, I won't.

who called for bombing? please violence is not good.

did all northerners kill partook in the cartoon riots?

If I interfere, I am a Nazi dictator
If i don't interfere, I'm an imcompetent administrator.
Leave me alone!

If peace cant solve a problem engaging in violence will never solve it in a million years. The members of MEND (what an irony as they are busy destroying!!) should concentrate on their corrupt governers and leaders, they should kidnap them instead of innocent foreigners, and innocent peace loving Nigerians!!!!!!!!!

Well said!!

They are just lazy people who use sentiments as an excuse to cause and forment trouble, they are given 15% of all the total oil revenue, their communities are developed, they pay them outrageous entitlements, if oil companies are awarding scholarships, they are given special prefrences but still yet they refuse 2 go 2 skool, they prefer 2 kidnap innocent people who are just doing their job becos they went 2 skool. And yet they say they are deprived. what do u call that kind of person> Simple they are called OLIVER TWIST

JUST SHUT IT MR
you no nothing about niger delta, who told you the place is developed?
when you dont about somthing or somewhere ask and stop chewing your mouth, you hear?

YOU PEOPLE ARE PLAYER HATERS, if it were to be your place, i dont even know where the heck you come from it will be pure 50% to yourself first before anybody else.

N.O.N.S.E.N.S.E

Maki,
Just leave them. Our elders say sometime it's better to remain silent to answer a question. The wise understands that statement perfectly. So, let them bark away. It's their time to do just that. No point joining issues with them.

this is the problem

Buchi, I have also travelled extensively in the Niger Delta, and while I agree whole-heartedly that the area has been criminally neglected, I want to place a large part of the blame suarely on the leaders of the region.

What justifies using money Shell gives you to build schools to marry new wives?

@chxta
Indeed you are living in the third rock from the sun. So much so that you have been blinded by the sun's radiance and you cannot see the things that are plainly laid out before your eyes.

I can assure you that your generation will not pass away before the Delta arises from the position that it is today to the great and enviable position that it is destined to attain. Its sons and daughters will be sought after in every corner of the world for positive reasons. Its bickering and oppressive neighbours will behold the splendour and grace with which its affairs are conducted.

You are therefore at liberty, in the present deispensation, to blame whoever you want for its troubles.

However, I insist that the Delta is not looking for handouts, allocations, pity, sympathy, trouble, projects etc from any body or group of people. Rather it is seeking, justifiably so, to empower its sons and daughters by taking an absolute control of its resources, liabilities, fears, joys, pride, future and consequently, charting a prosperous future for its present and future generations.

My dear man, you are also on the thrid rock from the Sun. . .

Let me educate you a little: A planet is generally considered to be a relatively large mass of aggegated matter in orbit around a star. In geological terms, aggregated matter is generally considered to be a rock.

There are 9 rocks in orbit around our star (Sol), in order: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Some schools of thought suggest that there is a 10th rock called Charon, but this is still under debate.

According to that list, Earth is number. . .

Any questions?

nnna bros chxta easy, easy, but bros owo nobody sane believes dat d niger-deltans cannot and shd not progress,i believe d resources within d area is not evenly distributed in uplifting d plights of d inhabitants as well but, BUT u guys must realise dat ur leaders must take responsibility to a degree for d wanton deggradation seen now , why? because dey have failed at dere level to alleviate d suffering of dere ppl by providing infrasttructure,upgrading d already infrastructure e.t.c. shd i give u e.gs of hw ur leaders abuse state funds? igbinedion threw a party for his fathers birthday in 2 continents and paralysed d administrative workings of edo state ,odili spent state funds in buying a jet which will nt impact positively on d life of d masses,attah in his first term preferred to offer patronage to cronies in form of contracts which were finally either shoddily done or abandoned,alams tried, oh but at d end of d day he was caught wit his pants down,wearing a bra with a fists full of govt funds he was trying to launder abroad. and d list keeps going on and on. wouldnt d ideal tin be to hold dese leaders accountable to a great degree for misuse of d already laid down resources b4 fighting for d other one?

they have just kidnapped 3 expatriates in port harcourt today.

and it will still rage on infinitely until,

, until there is a breakup or re-organisation of this entity called Nigeria.

Nigeria as presently organised will remain a failure. The Niger Delta problem is only a symptom of the deeper malaise that plagues the system.

buchio7:

and it will still rage on infinitely until,

In the short term
The military loses patience and goes on the rampage.

In the long term
Enough corrupt politicians are purged from the system.

realistically, a reorganisation of the polity
unrealistic, a break up

those 3 kidnapped were filipinos, another german was kidnapped from B & B so its 4 in total; the truth is that the politicians will quote $2m as ransom and arrange the boys like $1m and then say no money changed hands. That is why it still continues unabatted. For the records no kidnapped expatriate has been killed or injured.

dats an interesting analysis,

thanks.

Julius berger has been attacked and 2 more germans kidnapped. The government should stop paying lip service. They have to stop paying ransome money in dollars and start a massive development infrastructurally of the entire Niger Delta Region. Those state governors who are yet to render the dividends of democracy should be arrested and sent to jail.

thank you for coming to dat realisation otokx
