Nigeria’s major trunk line, the Forcados terminal crude oil export pipeline, in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State, has been blown up by new Niger Delta militants under the aegis of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA). The group, in a statement on its website, claimed responsibility for the incident which occurred last Saturday night. The attack on the terminal has led to an acute shortage of crude oil both for export and for local processing. The Forcados terminal accounts for over 400,000 barrels of crude oil exported daily and is ranked among the biggest terminals in the country. The attack came a few days after President Muhammadu Buhari issued an order that more troops should be deployed to the Niger Delta region to protect oil installations. In the statement, NDA said it enjoys support from Northern, Western and Eastern parts of the country. The group, in the statement titled: “Operation Red Economy,” said its move was to protest the federal Government’s inability to tackle critical national issues including the anti-corruption war. An official of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), who spoke under the condition of anonymity, disclosed that a high- powered delegation has been dispatched from Abuja to carry out an on-the-spot assessment on the affected installations. Lt. Col. Isa Ado, the spokesman of the Joint Task Force codenamed Operation Pulo Shield, did not pick calls on his phone for confirmation of the incident. A senior military officer however confirmed the attack. The Media Relations Manager of Shell, Mr. Precious Okolobo, in an email response to enquiries, said: “SPDC is investigating the source of a crude oil spill which was observed on water around Forcados Terminal on Sunday (February 14). This initial investigation will enable the company to quickly determine what suitable response is further needed.” Among its 11 demands for peace in the region, NDA demanded for the immediate implementation of the report of the 2014 National Conference organised by former President Goodluck Jonathan. The group also demanded the immediate release of the detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, as directed by the courts. It said: “We are a group of young Niger Deltans who have support from other parts of Nigeria, namely Northern, Western and Eastern parts. “We have watched with keen interest, the way and manner in which the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government runs the affairs of this country, and we are not pleased with the way things are going. “For instance, the so-called anti- corruption fight is directed at perceived enemies of the government, and those who are sympathetic to former President Goodluck Jonathan. We wonder why these persecutions, despite the peaceful manner Jonathan handed power over to the All Progressives Congress.” “So far, the only two governorship elections that were conducted under this government were and still remain the most controversial elections in the history of this nation,” it said. The group further demanded that: “The ownership of oil blocks must reflect 60 percent for the oil- producing people and 40% for the non-oil producing people. The only Nigerian Maritime University sited in the most appropriate and befitting place in Okerenkoko must start the 2015/2016 academic session, immediately. “The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, should apologise to the Ijaws and the entire Niger Delta people for his careless and reckless statements about the siting of the University. “The Ogoniland and indeed, all oil polluted lands in the Niger Delta must be cleaned up and compensation be paid to all oil- producing communities”.

buhari is getting served what they wished GEJ.


Karma is a bitch

Winter is coming

The group, in the statement titled: “Operation Red Economy,” said its move was to protest the federal Government’s inability to tackle critical national issues including the anti-corruption war.

So, they are bombing their own community because of anti corruption war right? They should put more effort. After spilling enough crude to damage their environment, they will come tomorrow and ask government for compensation and clean up.

Bros, this is a fake news coming from the stable of radio _biafraud. Believe at your own peril

Nice move....
The best way to fight a stubborn sided government like Buharis government is to cripple the economy by whatever means possible....

North is to bokoharam ( A tool initiated to kick out Gej)
South is to militant ( A better tool that can kill the economy of Nigeria not just kicking the sitting president)

Nice one....
This is just a payback, everybody should go and ponder in his heart.

Welcome the ND avengers and defenders.
Buhari the dullard from daura must rule these country efficiently and under the ambience of the constitution.

Rubbish...
In as much as they are bombing their land is for a just cause. They sacrifice their land for a better future, is an honour as well as wisdom.

In the case of cleaning up the land. Implementing the confab report of 2014 by Gej will take care of the scenario.

So think about your own problems not the ND, because is a well thought out and a calculated move.

Confab ko .......
Stick the report up your a**

Let buhari continue with his vindictive politics, it will hunt him

When we in the niger-delta caution mr BUHARI,some sw and northen youth who are not in the know will call for our head FG's dilly-dally with few itsekiris to malign the entire SS/SE will surely backfire! A word is enough for the wise

This is an example of why Buhari cannot fight the Niger-Delta Militants. They do not need to face the Nigerian Army in armed combat. All they need to do is just sabotage Oil installations on their land and that will be the end of it

A tsunami is coming! Unfortunately, Bubu is yet to realize!

As a patriot I will ask the Government to EXTERMINATE this set's of Clowns and their sponsors should be secretly done away with. These guys are an insult to the ND and to Nigeria as a whole. NA please make a screaming example of these political thugs

I SAW THIS IN THE NEWS AND IT WAS LIKE..WOW..IS THIS TRUE?

UNDER THE TITLE:Autonomous sources control prices of dollars – CBN



AN IBADAN FIRM EXPORTED 9 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF INDUSTRIAL STARCH...PROPAGANDA?


Abuja – The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says autonomous sources such as exporters and correspondent banks now control the price of dollars in banks and the Bureau de Change (BDC) segment. The Director, Corporate Communications, Mr Mu’azu Ibrahim, said this in an interview on Friday in Abuja. He said although the price of Naira remained stable at N197 to a dollar and N284.1 to a pound sterling at the interbank market, it was hovering at the parallel market. The Naira changed for N373 to a dollar and N505 to pound sterling on Friday in Abuja. Ibrahim said customers would also find Forex expensive in the banks or while using their debit cards abroad because the Forex got by banks from the CBN was not sufficient for all transactions. He explained that for this reason, banks reserved the Forex they got for developmental transactions, especially to manufacturers looking to import necessary materials to aid the real sectors of the economy. Ibrahim said although the CBN had not put a ban on accessing Forex for school fees or medicals, it was not a priority so banks might use their discretion to allocate or not to allocate Forex for such. “They should be able to use their discretion, looking at their capacity to source from the interbank and the other autonomous sources. “However, people may expect to hear about the rates; people need to understand that if banks source for Forex from the interbank, the rates at which they will sell to customers will be guided by the interbank rates. “But if they source it from the autonomous sources, the rate they will sell that specific portion will be guided by the rates at which they buy from these autonomous sources. “ CBN has not given any directive to banks to stop selling Forex for school fees and medicals, and I can confirm to you that the CBN sells through the interbank what the banks are allowed to finance. “There is no ban; there is no restrictions, but priorities will be given to demand for raw materials, plants and machinery,’’ he said. On the issue of hike in food prices since the CBN excluded importers of 41 items including rice, processed meat, vegetables, toothpick, among others, from sourcing Forex, Ibrahim said it was only temporary. “By not importing those items we are saving the Forex demand on the market and the reserve and, at the same time, boosting local production. “The ban of these products, particularly agriculture products have begun to have positive effects on the economy. “I was in Ibadan last week and was encouraged by a producer that rose from Cassava farming to processing and that farmer is now producing industrial starch which is in high demand. “Some companies, large corporations that were importing industrial starch are now sourcing from that company in Ibadan. “I was happy when the producer said that last year, they were able to record nine billion dollars in exports; this is encouraging. “There are many like that and once we give them time, the market will improve. “So my advice to Nigerians is to think Nigeria, act Nigeria and buy Nigeria; let us patronise made in Nigeria goods,’’ he said.
