Urhobo don suffer for this matter. E just pain me say we no retaliate. Fathers, Mothers,Brothers,Sisters and Children just wasted. Well, Fvck Up No Dey Sour!

Melagros:
COMRADES, let's call a spade a spade, sometimes some of these security agencies collude with those oil bunkerers in the creeks to do the unholy act

PointZerom:


If you no get liver stay off pill bunkery.
What I saw as a Hitman is the field baffles me and I fled to Lagos.

BeardedMeat:
You say hitman? You were their hitman or what Baba?

JoeEeL:


The army is past and parcel of illegal oil bunkering

Nigerians sympathising with them are so gullible, mostly Yorubas. Many Yorubas are simpletons. Jeez

Lanre1st:
But killing of innocent residents of Okuma community by Army is bad, since they know the party involved in the feud, they should go after them

BeardedMeat:
Did you say sometimes? The military is involved all the way!

PointZerom:


Military especially Navy.
Governors.
Traditional rulers.
Village heads.
DPOs.

Then comes the men at the gate (militants).

It's like a cartel where every rule and agreement must be kept. Watching your back is what you must do diligently.

No forgiveness for any opposing human or group.

Let me stop here.

PointZerom:


I don repent ooo!

BeardedMeat:
You see..

The illegal oil cartel in the Niger Delta comprises influential Nigerians and foreigners, including top military operators, government officials, highly-placed and retired oil industry players, politicians and business persons, and they are the financiers of oil bunkering syndicates, which over the years have plunged the country’s economy in the abyss of decline. There will be no end to this racket till end of time. The soldiers were mere collateral damage in the spill over of different interests fighting for resources in the Niger Delta. .

PointZerom:


Where did Asari make his money?
When I was with them I almost lost my life.

O boy, in two months you're already made but your body go done.

In summary, the conflict in the Niger Delta involving the killing of 17 soldiers stems from a feud between illegal oil bunkers, notably Endurance Okodeh alias Amangbein, and a powerful cartel led by ex-militant leader Government Ekpemukpolo alias Tompolo. The dispute is intertwined with a land conflict between Okuama and Okoloba communities, exacerbated by the alleged involvement of ex-NIMASA boss Patrick Akpobolokemi, who is accused of building a mansion on disputed land.

The illegal oil cartel, comprising influential individuals including top military operators, politicians, and businessmen, orchestrates oil theft from major pipelines with insider assistance, causing significant damage to the economy. Despite government efforts, the cartel continues to operate with impunity, shielded by connections and corrupt practices.

The involvement of Tompolo's private security company, Tantita, in supplying a speed boat used by the slain soldiers raises questions about his connection to the incident. However, Tompolo has remained silent on the matter, leaving speculation about his involvement. Meanwhile, activists criticize government ineffectiveness in tackling oil theft, attributing the persistence of the issue to the powerful cartel's operations and protection.

Overall, the conflict underscores the complex web of interests and corruption fueling illegal oil activities in the Niger Delta, posing challenges to security and economic stability in the region.

It has been obvious from the beginning. The Army was complicit in this matter. There is no smoke without fire.

I read the entire writeup.

No substance in it. E no get head. E no get tail.

Just connotations and pieces of jargons.

Give us correct gist. We want to know the truth.

Macphenson:
I knew the whe thing cannot be seperated from oil bunkering. Its too obvious.

The military claims the army went to settle community land dispute which is the work of the Police or even the DSS.

Why are they using the speed boat of Tantita?

The most annoying aspect of this whole debacle is the Police handing over a suspect that voluntarily submitted himself to the Military for investigation.

The government ( both state and federal) didnt deem it fit uptill now to set up an independent panel of enquiry to unravel all the misery behind this incident.

It is well with this country.
