PORT HARCOURT — WHILE President Umaru Yar’Adua and other government officials were getting ready to announce amnesty plans for militants in the Niger Delta, the Shell pipeline in Bille/Krakrama, Rivers state was attacked by MEND, with a resultant
shutdown of the facility.

The attack has also put out of service the Shell operated Cawthorne Channels 1,2 and 3 flow stations supplying export crude to the Bonny terminal.

In a related development, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has denied paying Niger Delta militants any money to police or even protect petroleum pipelines.

A Shell spokesman who did not want his name in print said an emergency team was already in the area to minimise the likely environmental impact.

“We have received reports of an attack on an SPDC pipeline at Krakrama manifold in eastern operations. The facility has been shut down and an emergency team has been mobilized to limit the environmental impact.”

Meanwhile, Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, the main militant group in the religion has claimed responsibility for the midnight attack.

Got this piece from a news paper want you guys to read it.
MEND should continue until all economic activities are rendered stagnant so that government would do the right thing. And what is the right thing? Resource and Environmental Control. Although this isn’t a tribal struggle, that is, Niger Delta isn’t fighting any other tribe or ethnic group. The Hausa people-though few out of the population have ruled the nation with iron hand and greed-and other so-called majority ethnic groups own and control their land and environment. Why is Niger Delta’s different and when we talk they kill us?

Is it oil and gas? Yes! Why have they not filled their underground tanks and those in space with our oil after over 50 years so they will leave us alone? Why is the government of the Hausa; the Yoruba, and Igbo for themselves against all others so insensitive to the N-Delta question of resource control and true/fiscal federalism when they’re enjoying these rights? They’re bold to talk amnesty to the landlords whereas they’re tenants. Is this not armed robbery, putting the guns on N-Deltan’s head while our oil and gas are siphoned to develop their own homes and fill monies from our veins in foreign banks without end, while the N-Delta child is left in sqaulor; in painful poverty?

I charge MEND to intensify the destruction of all pipelines, flowstation, rigs, etc. so that the foreign oil rogues may also leave the country and do in their home-countries what they’ve done in Niger Delta. Let’s see if their own people will allow them degrade their environment, render their livelihood to zero percent and kill them for asking why to do the right thing.

The Federal Government, their sellout N-Delta states counterparts, dealers who call themselves leaders and the oil companies deserve amnesty and not the landowners. Sadly, it’s only in Nigeria that things like those happening to the weak and disadvantage of the Delta can flow without recourse. There will surely be recourse as we’re seeing with the good works of MEND.

Do u think the militant are stronger than the soldiers or what ? gve d military permit and u wil see them in ashes

No Need for that my dear. The Mill ant don't need to come face the soldier they need their cat and mouse Hidden. I support Mend carry on

On Kaima Declaration we stand

God will punish them all, both the govt and the MEND.

All these militant no get level. It's all about the money.

It seems so now, otherwise, they wont be begging the crooks in the creeks to accept amnesty.

I am sure they know that the militants will immidiately blow all the pipelines and the fed govt knows that will be end of them, so that is why they are offering amnesty.
Fire for fire, the militant wont be able to stand the govt.
However, innocents will die.

In other words; they are equal.

Guy, the militants can never be stronger than the military because they are not trained and can be outnumbered. It will not take the military a week to level all the creeks in that region if the orders are given.
Extending amnesty to them is just a political game from the govt.

although am indifferent 4 now, but these millitants r dumb, if they can try suicide bombing, success is surely theirs,
however, both parties(millitants n government) r d same, greedy pple , so they deseve each other,

@biola44 Why don't you try or are you not a good citizen slowpoke

Abuzola:

do you know what is called guerrilla style fighting? you dont come face to face with your enemy ok! these guys are well trained and are professionals at what they do. thats why they(MEND) have little or no casualties. let me say this AMNESTY without MEND its a waste of time and the govt knows it.

Now, the real militants have started talking.

Talking about MEND vs FG, i just think that FG will be deceiving themselves to think that they will crush MEND since convention has never been able pin down the wind. MEND is using guerilla tactics and win points by destroying things. Conventional army only wins points by killing militants who neither have nor obey any set of rules. They are fighting the military from their local terrain and have their target not as the army but as the oil installations. Just watch out, some international interests will soon start aligning with them to get their regular supplies instead of from the unreliable normal channel.

Thumbs up MEND.
Carry on the good work.

The military have asked for full authority to wipe the militant but the govt didn't saying they re fellow nigerians

mend or no mend

they are crushable??

only if no bi useless naija

Well i have seen the trash some people have written and it is pity that some of you cannot think properly.
The injustice that is taken place in nigeria today is it right.
What is federalism,is it not what nigeria should be praticing were every region contributes well now who is doing the major contribution.
No one is advocating for violence we all want peace.
Let every state contribute 30% of there income to the federal government it is simple as that.
Do you know that alot of people from the niger delta are ready to die for this cause what mend is doing now is a tip of the ice berg.
In the coming months watch out.
When the gbege set na from the north nia the fire go start to dey burn from.
If you don't know the niger delta people abroad are coming home in mass in preparation for the final show down.
Asawana
shot am make e pass

Do u know how much the federal govt is giving them yearly ? is it our fault that their leaders are thieves

Never think you can try anything with the nothern part of Nigeria and as a matter of fact, it's only a matter of time before you all get crushed like the tiny little roaches you are,

the deadline for the amnesty is coming soon, we'll see

some people think thier brothers coming from abroad can help matters, haahahahaha , my dear you'll all be blown,

Your very own militants taliban are preparing to attack the elite, the future for the north will be a cross between somalia and afghanistan. How long can your masses rely on Zakaat. Wait & see.

The government are already tired, They only fought to save face because they were always going to release Henry Okah.
