The niger delta freedom fighters are watching keenly. They will do any thing to protect their son afterall this oil you people are fighting for is theirs. Any attempt to unseat jonathan from office will be declared as an act of war and will be greatly resisted by the creek boys. And as you know, the igbos will always support them. I suspect the niger delta boys will declare a secession from this force marriage, a marriage that has not and will never work. The igbos will follow suit. And the yorubas being what they are will team up with their master to force everybody back into the union because of the OIL. Fellow africans, it's unfortunate that you guys don't see that we are about to go back to the status quo; I mean the pre-amagamation days where everybody controls her resources. I believe the yorubas are finding it very difficult to accept. But it is true. You and your master must start importing fuel from the outside world. The oil belongs to the niger deltas and to them alone. They do with it what they like, it is none of your business. You people were calling for true federalism now you have it. The oil belongs to jonathan and his people. Deal with it. Like i said earlier, the niger delta freedom fighters are watching.

Complete super story.

^^ dont get

Since I was born, the Federal Government's strategy to combat mass protest has always been the same, divide and rule. Create division based on religion, ethnic group or class and watch the people turn on each other, while the ruling class smile to the bank.

Its the british that created this marriage you will see not one single protest in the south south. Nor be only occupy Nigeria

You are quite wrong brother. I was with an Otueke, Ogbiya guy this morning. This thing has no ethnic dimensions. Even Bayelsa people are crying. Subsidy removal is good but this was ill timed.

Southern Nigerians could take up arms to fight northern Boko Haram Islamists, and are holding back only out of respect for the president, a former militant leader from the oil-rich Niger Delta said on Monday. Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, a Muslim who led a rebellion in the delta until a peace deal with the government in 2004, said bomb attacks by Boko Haram could provoke retaliation by mostly Christian southerners, including those living in the delta. President Goodluck Jonathan has already declared a state of emergency in parts of the north which Boko Haram targeted in Christmas Day bomb attacks, including one against a church near Abuja that killed 37 people.

The attacks, and their spread from the north into other parts of the country, have raised the prospect of sectarian and regional violence escalating in a country about evenly divided between mainly southern Christians and mainly northern Muslims.

Asked if northerners could be targeted by some from the majority Christian south, he replied: "It is seconds away , Nigeria is on the precipice of a civil war."

"For Niger Delta people to take up arms is just a minute away. It's just Goodluck that is holding us back," said Asari, who is from Jonathan's southern, mainly Christian Ijaw tribe, but who converted to Islam.

"We have all reached the extreme. There is nothing anybody can do about it except we fight."

Asari's former group, the Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force, managed to push oil prices to record highs in 2004 with its constant attacks and threats against oil production in the delta's swampy creeks.

Since then, peace deals with the region's warlords have pacified the delta, and Boko Haram in the north has become the number one threat to Nigeria's security.

Full-bearded, shaven-headed, and wearing an ash-coloured Islamic robe, Asari paused to read some Facebook posts from his iPad about the Christmas Day bombs.

Asari said he was sceptical that the government could negotiate with moderate members of Boko Haram via "back channels" as National Security Adviser General Owoye Andrew Azazi suggested in an interview with Reuters.

Sitting in his large flat in the southeastern city of Port Harcourt, Asari said the group's faceless nature, an issue General Azazi acknowledged, made talks impossible.

"If you cannot identify the people who are carrying out these attacks, how can you dialogue with them, interact with them, and bring them round the table?" he said.

In any case, such extreme violence meant the time for talks had passed, he said.

"You cannot ask government to negotiate now. On what basis? The government should, rein these people in, or the people will resort to self-help," said Asari, who stressed where his loyalties lay despite being a Muslim.

"Anybody that wants to start any revolution in Goodluck's time, we the Ijaw will pull down that revolution," he said.

@OP - no be tribal matter. if the so called removal of subsidy was in favour of the easterners and co, fuel would not be going for 150 naira per litre in my state - anambra. My peeps are updating me regularly and as at this morning, transport fares have increased 150% all over my state. same for food stuff and other services.

look at this fool.

did the niger delta support biafra ??

monkey , what makes you think that they will support biafra today ?

keep your oil and get out of our lands.

simple.

We now know who is the finiancier of the Niger Delta militants is.

Ignorant is a desease. OP the tone of people here in PH and Bayelsa(which i left yesterday) is very contrary to what you think. Infact, hundreds of people are quickly denying even voting for him, talk more protesting for him.

They are very bittered over and movement has been almost grounded in PH due to very high cost of transportation i bought a litre @ 250.
