The military has identified the shootig. They said that two rival cult grops were fighting for control over the area. But they haved assured residents in the area not to worry because everything has been brought under control. So if you're a resident of Porth-harcourt, stop having sleepless night because everything is calm now says the military.

Some people want us to believe these are gangs separate from militants that have been sabotaging pipelines and kidnapping people for the " Niger Delta Struggle". http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070816/wl_nm/nigeria_delta_dc;_ylt=AnKVwgdzc.Qm22GGVGxnbL696Q8FTom and George used to be part of the same group until they fell out and George joined a faction of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), one of the more active rebel groups in the delta.
MEND said in an e-mail to Reuters that George escaped "alive and well" from an attack on his hotel on Thursday, but several aides were killed by troops firing rockets and machine guns.
The group threatened reprisal attacks from midnight unless the government halted the military operations. Very interesting that MEND is trying to demand the military stop operations against these guys. Very interesting indeed. |

Could this be a dress rehearsal for what will happen when the resource control is finally achieved? Just wondering.

This problem will only end when govt summons the courage to arrest those financiers of cultism in Rivers state who are currently enjoying their loot without being arrested by SSS and EFCC.
Killing the present crop of cultist will not stop it totally,because the finaciers will recruit a new set and then shout about marginalisation of the Niger Delta.
This whole Niger Delta thing is beginning to sound like a broken record,i do not wish to hear it again if the militants cannot ask the Niger Delta Govs how they spent the 13% percent.
Yar Adua should not waste time probing Kalu and Turaki the big fishes are available let him take them on first.(Odili,Ibori,Igbinedion and Attah)
Most of these Govs are prime candidates for the international criminal court because their activities could be comfortably classified as crimes against humanity.

@ Echidime
The Niger Delta issue has nothing to do with Biafra,If you ask my opinion i still think that the Niger Deltans made the best choice by siding Nigeria.
Our leaders are the problem in the niger delta.
I will rather be slave in nigeria thatn be a free born in your so-called biafra

as ruggedman said "you either hate naija or love naija in peace or war"
all those mouthing aspersions against our nation nigeria should go look for something else to do.
as for biafra, when will they learn it is a forgotten issue only worthy of discussion at the palmwine drinking gathering of elders, telling tales of woes to children to dissuade them from towing the same path.

i don't see any thing to be rest assured about
i saw boys of ages 16 - 30 carrying automatic assult rifles along
the creek rod by 10 am sniffing coke and drinking spirit along the streets
i saw a battle air ship shoot a 16mm rounds 6 fts from me
i saw small boys of 16 years carry bags of grenades in sack as f
they were back from the farm on a harvest
i saw boys shoot rockets at a battle ship and dodge rounds of this plane
as if they were dodging stones
the walk from creek road to park was like a script off "blood diamond" the movie and they tell me to sleep
i still hear gunsshot though i am 50km and 7hrs away
my dear i was walking and i came face to face to the plane with my hands in the air
i knelt down and said my final prayers cause they boys were shooting at the plane behind me

Thisday emerging report has it that Saboma George was killed today while The New says he escaped unhurt. I wish all the militants death in the hands of the nigerian military. May this re-current nonsense come to an end now.

I really hope the govt has decided to put an end to this niger delta militants, because whether we like it or not it is only force that will end all this. I still beleive criminals have taken over these kidnappings under the guise of mend or the other militants and they need to be flushed out there is no hiding place anymore my only prayer is that innocent souls are not are not sacrificed due to the selfishness of these criminals. They should be flushed out like ants being sprayed with insecticide.

The so-called militants of the Niger Delta are just children in the real sense of the word. If they are tired of the way the Nigerian oligarchy has ravaged their land of its resources, then they have three options:
1. Keep quiet and do nothing, i.e., bend down and take the humiliation calmly.
2. Organize peaceful rallies, protests, etc. in line with Gandhi's and M. L. King's doctrine of non-violence (this option is being tried by MASSOB and it doesn't seem to be working)
3. Declare their lands free independent territories and be ready to fight to the death! (Mighty Biafra attempted this but lost gallantly)
Let's see.
Option 2 will be summarily ignored by the callous oligarchs in Nigeria.
Option 3? No soul or group in all of the Niger Delta can truly attempt this option. Only the brave, those ready to lay down their lives will attempt this. The scattered groups of the Niger Delta will not withstand Nigeria's full military might in just 30 days!
Option 1, the only option left.
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!!

Good news. More news on the death of militants please. http://www.leadershipnigeria.com/product_info.php?products_id=11113
The Joint Military Task Force yesterday morning killed a notorious cult leader, George Soboma in Port Harcourt, the River State Capital.
This followed a raid on a hideout of the militants who have been unleashing terror on residents in the past few days.
The situation has created tension in the oil rich state leading to a high presence of heavily armed soldiers.
The JMTF Spokesman, Maj. Sagir Musa, confirmed the development.

This struggle will not make any progress unless ALL the militants come under one command and control. They should mobilize into fighting military units (platoons). Adequate planning is necessary to attempt to take on Nigeria's military. All these scattered skirmishes, kidnappings of babies, burning police stations meant to protect their people, etc. will achieve nothing. Only proper military tactics can make any form impact.
