Skye Bank Test And Militants In Port Harcourt

@ nawa for these guys O! wonders never go end for naija.

@4play,
 you mess up badly, you just fall my hand with the way you open mouth anyhow without facts. you  no know say na educated and intellectual folks dey here for nairaland and not london dish washers, lol,  abeg change your ID here O! because you yap, 
internet is not meant for everyone go back to your dish washing,
no hard feeling bro

@jassie
 yeah it is true that the southwest and Northern provided agricultural produce for Nigeria's export revenues before the crude oil was discovered but mind you, their land was not polluted like the way the niger delta is now! where they can hardly get good water or how underdeveloped the place is now?
but don't get me wrong i do not support the approach they are going about the so called struggle. or freedom what i am saying is that we cannot compare their standard of living now to what the southwest or north was when they were the onces producing Nigeria source of income revenue.

@jassie you forgot lesson 3

Please. the AK47 is the cheapest assault rifle to make. You can snag an AK47 in the middle east for $30.
Even at the inflated rate that the armourers sell 'em to Nigerian millitants, it shouldnt cost more than N50000.

I'm yet to understand what this thread is about.

Some of the write up of the originator is not yet clear. Did ''militants'' come in their numbers to garrison junction to participate in this test, as you want us to believe? How did they dress to the venue of the test? Did the carry guns to the place in question (as is typical of militants in the delta) to write the test?

I hope you're not cooking up some stories to get busy people's attention. I have been living in PHC for years now, and I did not hear any single story about this your incident from all the several radio stations in town, or the newspapers.

wonders shall never end. militants in a banking hall
perharps as security men, 

What type of liar is this?

Before oil, Nigeria had oil. With oil were the crops groundnut (peanut), cocoa and rubber. These crops were cultivated in large quantities and exported to Europe and America in the pre-1960s and early ‘60s.

With military incursions into Nigerian government and the dependence of petroleum products as the foremost foreign exchange earner, attention to the agricultural sector dwindled. Nigeria’s groundnut pyramids disappeared, the oil palm plantations vanished and farming went back to a subsistent level. With a burgeoning population, it became increasingly difficult to feed the teeming masses and the country resorted to importing food to supplement the one grown at home.

Please SEUN, try and ensure some decorum in this forum. The idea of associating Saro Wiwa and militants doesn’t go down well with me and I believe any SANE mind would not do that. He fought for a just cause and was betrayed. Today where is SHELL, they have left their fields in Ogoniland. What is happening in the Niger Delta is far from the STRUGGLE I agree. Its mere criminality under the guise of emancipation of Niger Deltans and they are tagged militants.

My brothers and Sisters, all these problems are coming up because of prolonged neglect of the region by both the Federal and State Governments. And instead of empowering the youths to be self sufficient, you give them guns to help impose you on the people. What do you expect, for them to throw away the guns? No way. The same guns are now used for criminal activities all in the name of Niger Delta Struggle.


I’m a Niger Deltan and I must state hear categorically that what is going on within the Niger Delta is mere criminality and in no way close to the emancipation of our people.

Professor Nimi Briggs and Seinye Lulu-Briggs are they not Niger Deltans? But were still kidnapped.
I just hope one day everything will take its right place.
I am quite sure those at the venue were not militants

@babaearly

I ain't in no beef with the Niger Delta people. U are getting me wrong and I can see u have the same mentality with d militants.

What I am saying is that if the NGD people see Nigeria as one country, they would stop believing they are being cheated. The  Niger Delta has the largest allocation to compensate for damages caused by oil spillage and other pollution factors, their close leaders eat the funds and back them up in voilence.

What u said about Yorubas colonizing oil companies; its only because yorubas are well educated and struggle to make a living for themselves. How many Niger Delta scholars do you know?

The Yorubas get employed because they fit the position and they perform their official duties well. If NGD youths read half as much as the Yorubas, they would go twice as far in the Oil sector and u know it.

No beefs bro, just speaking the truth.

ADIOS

nairaland is a forum where sound mind share ideas and not where anybody can just post rubbish
i think 4play need to post an open apology to the people he abuse.
i also suggest that he should cme back to Nigeria and go back to high school so that he wuld know more about his country

hey dunce, you are the idiot here. what are you saying that yorubas are now feeding on the oil? is it only the yorubas that are in Mobil or even in Nigeria. what about the hausas in NNPC? please don't come here and talk rubbish. if your head is empty it is not compulsory you contribute to the thread. please do not bring tribalism into the issue abeg!
if you are smart and got the requirement which includes the skills it takes for the job you will be employed whether you are yoruba, igbo or hausa.
olodo boy!!! 

These MISCREANTS are far from FREEDOM fighters so Please don't be decieved,

I think you people should listen to Dawaskee who said that he was there and saw that it wasn't  militants but a rep. from the host community. I stay around that area and it would have been all over the place if there were really militants around during the test, and it is obvious that most of you talking have never experienced what it is like when these boys are operating because if U have, you will forget about insulting urselves.
I am not in support of the militants and will never agree to their ways but if you have had the opportunity (which I pray you do one day if U've not) to see most communities where our nations oil is produced from and what these communities look like and what they have been through, brothers you'll feel pity. Forget about PH city(its the capital) and Bonny(the whites staying there has made it to be very comfortable for themselves), apart from these two places I don't know anywhere else in Rivers state that will "represent". Bayelsa is a whole different issue,  worse off
Another fact is that mining a natural resource (like drilling oil wells) and practising agric. (like planting cocoa) has different effects on the environment. so saying that the west did not complain during the time when Agric was the mainstay of our economy should not really be used in analogue to the situation in the niger delta, agric. practices do not have detrimental effects on the environment as does oil drilling, and on top of that the host communities don't even have "basic social amenities"! imagine that. I have a yoruba friend of mine (I'm Ibo) serving somewhere in Rivers state (rich in crude and with more that 10 oil wells), whenever he comes to town to collect his monthly allowance, he'll look like someone that escaped from a war camp, imagine that there is no network, no electricity, U must have to buy pure water to drink, men it is very funny considering the amount of money that flows out from their land per day.
I won't fail to also mention that the community leaders in the Niger delta are not really helping because you won't fail to notice that they are living very well, and the youths (let me say about 50% of them) are not really ready to go to school or work, they want it fast since there land is blessed with resources.
Finally, if U are supporting the Militants, just know that its not the best way to solve the problems in the Naija delta, and please don't condem the Naija delta people whwn they cry foul because their situation is not as it supposed to be.
Peace

guys guys

i don't what it is about this nairaland
maybe there are too much scholars here
u guys just like exchanging blows
probably tryin to channel your jobless frustrations on someone else
newez when was the said test and did it still hold?

i wrote the one of 16th or there about and wasnt called for a rerun.
how was it newez?

Miss use of thread!

Miss use of language!

Miss placement of anger!

SEUN,

Arrest all of them now.

Are the millitants responsible for your joblessness? It surprises me to see young folks who call themselves graduates, make such negative contributions on issues involving Niger Delta. Obviously, none of you negative contributors are from the Niger Delta. Of course, greed wont allow you to see the real true facts on ground, even if the facts are as white as snow.

An inheritance of greed. That's what i call it. Our fore father, out of greed, refuse to identify these issues, now you all are sweeping these same issue under the rug. The rug will keep smelling until somebody with a Godly heart comes to clean the mess up.

I wish someday the hammer of this Niger Delta region, in which you've badmouthed on such a long thread as this, will fall on you all. Yes na! Instead of using your heads as graduates to profer positive solution to this problem we all, as Nigerians, are facing, you're busy talking nonsence.

Change oooooo! Nnateh?!

Stupidity at its best. LMAO
How can u force yourself into a bank to participate in a test with your AK 47s?
