Noticed how all those against MEND and for JTF bombing of Niger Deltans are only the yorubas and northern nigerians? Scroll from the first to this third page to observe this trend. Yet, those goats (the ijaws and other Niger Delta minority groups) that are being led to their slaughter slabs and being raped and bombed everyday by hausa and yoruba dominated JTF still perceives and believe until today that Igbos are their real enemy.
Saw one of them wrote in of the threads "what if nigeria divides today, how are they going to resist the domination of their Igbo neighbors that are breathing down their neck" Can you imagine such a warped reasoning? Even upon their being killed and their land being raped on daily base, they are still afraid of their imaginary enemy. I have already maintained that the fall and doom of nigeria is the fear of the Igbos by combined nigerian ethnic groups. I don't know if it's to support this hausa/yoruba killing and raping of this Niger Delta people or not. They are really the worst of all mugus i have ever known.

I am strongly of the opinion that most Niger Deltans,as unfortunate as the scenario seems, are not admissive of the wrongs being perpetuated by the MEND and other Militia groups all in the name of agitations for the betterment of the niger delta region which I honestly believe has been in a state of neglect and degradation. Maybe a Niger Deltan approach to the situation could provide a basis for lasting peace and development of the region. In view of this, I put the question back to those from that region who are very familiar with the actual situation on ground and not wat 'dem says' publicise to come up with suggested approaches to addressing the crisis while we collectively analyse the suggestions on the basis of its merits, rationale and workability. Who knows, a workable solution could be finally identified on this forum.

NIGER DELTANS, WHAT DO U ALL SUGGEST TO BE THE WAY OUT?

I need to salute you with 2 gun shots.  I was in that region (Niger Delta) and the mugus believe Igbos are the real enemies.  Very difficult to understand their 3rd Century mentality.  They are always killed by those they call friends.

This is coastal state from satellite picture. you can see it is nearly the same size as the whole of the 5 states in the south east. Here is where nearly 70 % of the militia comes from this area. give them a state. you would be shock it would reduce the poverty level. it is 10 local govt.


it consist of delta south senatorial and west bayelsa senatorial area.



So U want 2 create states?,,  4 humans or for monkeys and fishes ? Huh. what is population of that area u carved out compared to the SE.1st your calc is so wrong. 2nd how many state creation agitatons have come up from that region compared to other parts of the country?. Are U aware that during last year's elections, many of the candidates struggling for councilorship in Rivers state could not properly spell their names let alone define their constituency ?.( I saw this with my eyes in INEC office ) Shocked. These are the type that collect money meant for development from FG and oil companies and use it to buy guns for their thugs , who have now found a more lucrative way of robbing = Kidnapping. Pls remember that prior to 2003 elections many parts of PHC were engulfed in heinous bloodleting, from Amadi-Ama to Diobu. Pls dont forget the Deegbam vs Deewell, Ateke vs Bushboys, Asari vs Ateke bloodbathing of those days. At that time  the word 'militant' has not entered niger delta dictionary ! Undecided, but now 'militants' have 'offices' where they recieve 'pictures' and phone numbers of people to be contacted for ransom or be kidnapped !! Grin Grin Grin

Your knowledge of history is highly questionable. All the above are part of the 2003 election campaign. Let me tell you - Ateke vs Bushboys was fought because Odili sent Ateke to burn my town George-Ama as part of his attempts to cripple Rufus Ada George's political structure. Ateke vs Bush Boys also coincided with Abiye Sekibo's attempt to force PDP bigwig Chief AK Dikibo into the throne of Amanyanabo during the Tuboniju and Coniju crisis in Okrika. My cousin died fighting for the Bush Boys against Ateke so shut ya trap about what you don't know.

Asari joined the Bush boys to drive Ateke out of Okrika mainland and only failed because Ateke received back up from the Police. If you want to go further back, maybe you can tell me the history of the Bush boys - the Bush boys were sponsored by Federal Government to take out the Ogonis during the Okrika-Ogoni wars of 1995 after the death of Saro-Wiwa. My other cousin fought in that war and told me of all the assistance they recieved from FG.

As for Amadi-Ama, that was where I spent my childhood before moving to Borokiri. I grew up amongst the Amadi's and know them to be a peace loving people. They and the Abulomas have been at loggerheads with the local military camp since the early 90's. Of course there were a few skirmishes here and there but nothing that you wont find in the rest of Nigeria. There is enough unemployment in Nigeria and all these skirmishes are expected given the tribal nature of politics.

Firstly, i would like to state that MEND needs to be totally eradicated from the face of the earth. A full military invasion is needed to wipe every single one of them out. Are they trying to turn Nigeria into Columbia? Why should people be scared of being kidnapped/killed by militants.

Obviously the Niger Delta has been neglected for a long time. Well, is the answer Militancy- I beg to differ,  They keep complaining about Shell this Shell that. Yes, Shell played a heavy role in the degradation of the environment. Do i blame shell, hell no. I blame the corrupt monkey leaders that they have that have been receiving bribes from Shell before most of you on this forum were born. They get bribes and in turn use the money to buy guns to arm youths. The foolish youths receive the guns and cause chaos in the society while the ethnic leaders seat in their homes and enjoy.

Someone said that states should control their resources. Are you freaking kidding me
The only reason they want this is so that they can loot more money and cheat people. Do you think the Niger Delta will be better even if they institute resource control? I don't think so.

Finally, the problem we have is simply the fact that most africans are monkeys
I am a Nigerian so don't think i am being racist or anything. We've always been a corrupt bunch and it is evident in all facets of our culture.
Remember that we sold our own people to the "invaders" during slavery for money and power (they started it by forcing our people onto ships but they later deviced and easier means by paying our so called chiefs and rulers for slaves)

This form of deceit to our own people still exist because children are being sold as modern day slaves. I bet most of you have these under age girls in your homes today.

@monkey (poster)

Sometimes, militancy is the only option left since turning the other cheek doesn't work.

Here is a country ranked among the highest oil exporters and the oil come from the same area of the country.
They need special attention. Have you been to warri or bayelsa?
there is no reasonable school there , roads are rubbish, the only good road there is the road leading to the oil wells.
Drinking water is contaminated with chemical dumps which causes cancer.
The cancers may take time, but it will show up sometime and the community will start to die in quantum.
Meanwhile since the communities (MEND) cannot fight the feds, they turned to the people they can fight. (the oil coys).

when you check how much money that is being made from that area by the govt, you definitely agree that they deserve more than what they are getting for now. I am not a supporter of division of the country but people should get what they deserve. The best roads in this country are in the North while the only good thing coming out f there are the onions and groundnuts.

What a rubbish from this govt

From your name tag I see you have spent too much time in the slums of America. You have been indoctrinated so much that you now despise and disrespect your very own father by calling him a monkey. I bet he eats a lot of bananas. I quite agree with you. Some species of humans might actually be monkeys dressed in trouser suits. This includes the likes of you who misplace their anger and are ashamed of who they are. Because a few greedy and heartless people sold their brethren into slavery or that our government constantly engages in corrupt practices does not make us the worst class of humans on the face of the earth. I bet you think white people are angels and gods. I can offer you a bleaching cream so you can become white if you want but I doubt it will change your gene from being a monkey. My God, I always thought some of those monkeys escaped from the jungle into the city. I never thought one of them would appear on nairaland. No African is a monkey. No African has committed any offence greater than what the white man has done. Read your history books boy. don't be deceived. Take a trip to some of the poor black communities right there in America where you live. There is a strong reason why crime prevails in such places. I'll leave it to your lazy arse monkey brain to figure it out.

I just told you my village was burnt down by Ateke and 2 people murdered. Most boys from my village went after Ateke after that.

As for your insults, I will not stoop to that level because insults are the last resort of a fool.

The MEND guys are just engaged in propaganda.

The people from their region are still the ones that will suffer if they continue blowing the pipes.

Their approach to the situation is bad.

The problem lies with their leaders that collect money on behalf of the people and swallow it without using it for the development of their people

What is with all the unnecessary abuse. I have not seen one person who has even attempted to prove me wrong. Rather than give me reasons why i should not say that We are all monkeys, all you do is act like monkeys
I am not looking for any publicity stunt.
I spoke my mind and only one or two people were smart enough to address the topic. Why would anyone feel insulted if some anonymous poste says that Africans are monkeys. If you are not a monkey then move on.

Since no one wants to address the issue "mend", i will respond to your insults.

Trust me you don't know half of what i know regarding black/african history so i'll ignore that statement.
Why e dey pain you so much. Did you skip evolution in high school. Prove it to me that we are not monkeys and i will shut up. From what you have written, i can see that you are obviously a small boy. What makes you think i am a "boy". How do you know i am not a grandfather. The internet is anonymous my dear brethren. Stop making unnecessary assumptions.  Is it possible to have a crime free society? Infact, i don't need to argue with you further, move abeg.

While you do have a point, i don't see why anyone should be offended that i said we are monkeys. Science keeps saying it everyday and i don't see people killing themselves in class.

Okay, do you feel better now. A whole lot of you just don't get the point. Y'all keep proving me right all the time.
Well i guess its okay to rain insults on someone just to make yourself feel better.
How do you know that i am not an Ijaw man? Taking a neutral point of view enables one to give an unbiased critique of the situation.
I will respond properly because you have addressed the topic though.

I understand why you would insist that that Niger Deltans control their resources. It doesn't mean its the right thing to do.
Nigeria can not afford to do that. Trust me, you are asking for an unstable region if that happens. If resource control is initiated, the rest of the country will be held at ransom.
Scenario 1
The Niger Delta (N.D) people can declare independency and stop oil distribution to other parts of the nation. Do you see the F.G allowing this to happen? You are just asking for another civil war. I bet Ibo's in the house know what i'm talking about.
This is just one scenario. Rebut it and i'll give you more.
The problem with Nigeria is the availability of too many ethinic groups that can not be governed easily under a democracy. Military might/dictatorship is needed

Listen and listen to me attentively. I am Igbo and a proud one at that. Now tell us where you are from and stop using "do i know if you are Ijaw" If you are not hausa, then point out clearly where you come from. I have never seen any other group in nigeria that it's people are proud to calls themselves out than Igbos. Why are you people ashamed of hiding under "i am a nigerian" to spew garbage here and other forums? I repeat, if you are not hausa, as i suspect, then be proud and tell us openly which group you belong to and stop being ashamed of your group. "I am a nigerian is not enough" That is silly.

Now, back to your comment above. Niger Deltans and any other region controlling their resources is the best thing that will ever happen to nigeria if we are talking about remaining one. Do you hear that well? Only the lazy ones of which i suspect you are one of them will keep on being parasites to others. Why can't you work with your brain in your area to survive without the Niger Delta oil? Go into production as Igbo have ventured into and make a living for yourselves. Leave Niger Deltans and their oil, let them even drink it and die if that's their wish. Yet is not your freaking business.

Do all successful countries in the whole world have oil? If nigeria can not afford to do that, then let us all agree to separate and go our own various ways in peace before it's too late. Why should all nigeria depend on Niger Delta oil? It can only make you to be more lazy. That is not done even in USA. Texas, Hawaii and other states all control their what ever resources and same can be obtain in nigeria if your hausa people are sincere.

No Igbo in the house or any other place in the world will agree with you that Niger Deltans are not supposed to control their resources and drink it and die if that is their wish. It's not any Igbo man's problem what ever the Niger Deltans prefer to do with their oil. Do you get that? We Igbos already have our ingenuity to survive at all odds. Have we been surviving on any federal government grant or oil since Independence like your people does? Why should we now start to look at oil of the Niger Deltans that doesn't belong to us? Neither does that oil belong to you hausas nor to yorubas, so everyone should hands off Niger Delta oil and go find a means to survive on your own.
 
If you can't survive without oil, then go jump into the lagoon with you people and quench. Who are asking for war? It's not the Niger Deltans, but your federal government. When you hold someone else's thing and refuse to release it, it is not that person, buy you are asking for war. If you don't want resource control as the Niger Deltans wish, then divide the country and let every go their way and take their various destinies into their hands. Must we be ONE? Is it by force to remain in a country that you don't wish for? haba!!!
