Nigerians wont see this rubbish O, when Buhari starts dealing with this guy's, nigerians would start should Human Rights violation, tht useless Amnesty intl, would bring their own, Nigerians would be following them, This Amnesty intl, how many times have they indicted the US Army, all d atrocities committed by d US military, d invasion of Iraq, the atrocities n countries like Afghan n Libya, they would keep quiet because it's US or any of the super powers, buh let d NA kill Boko Haram they b shouting Human Rights.... These Militants r not fighting for their region, why development did d amnesty program bring to their region, instead d militant choose to invest their resources outside d country....example, it's no news asari dokubo has a university in Benin Republic.... Let's say no to these vandals n support PMB in clearing the riff Raff's, how do we expect electricity , when these guys keep blowing up pipelines because u dnt settle them......its rubbish

simpleseyi:
Keep it up boys. But before you go far in your self-destruction, remember to ask Shekau the Boko-Haram leader why he is currently hiding under his grandmother's bed. Bubu is coming for you, he said that in China few days ago and he means it. When Bubu finally comes for you, don't shout genocide, because Bubu does not understand the meaning of geno not to talk of genocide. Do you know the man called Buratai ? Ask Shekau, he will tell you about him. Even while Buratai is resting in his village, he plays with poisonous snakes. I am sure you all run when you see earth worms. So, bring it on boys, Bubu and Buratai are waiting for you.

I'm from the Niger delta. I certainly do not support the pipeline vandalism but the use of force will only make things worse.
The will be civilian casualties which will only bring more hatred and division which in turn will mean more dastardly acts by militants.
This is a sensitive issue that requires negotiations.

YelloweWest:

What if they say higher alocation is not enough.
Can't we federalism like every other sane modern democracy?
The solution you seem to propose will be detrimental to both FG and the militants

Federalism? I have nothing to lose so I will support any arrangement as long as we all follow the rules. At the same time, you should consider what will happen when these state governments are entrusted with huge amounts of money. If someone can divert funds from meagre amount of money, won't he do worse with mega sums. The problem I see here is not the federal government or at least not with the federal government alone. We are our own problems. We should put aside tribal differences and say no to corrupt officials. We should demand good use of our money.

I took the liberty to read all the comments and I prepared a response for each one but since I won't start a Monday arguing with dimwits I won't mention anyone


However it's safe to say the ones claiming proudly 5% are just too stewpyd

When there's no fuel and they queue at filling stations they demand for Buhari's head

When there's no power supply, they call Buhari a terrorist

When we said their brothers are the saboteurs, they felt offended and rained curses on themselves


When Buhari threatened pipeline vandals , they dare him to do his worst


So now when soldiers and navy are stationed around pipelines to provide security and vandals they'll start screaming marginalization, progom or ethnic cleansing


What disgusts me more is this funny name


Niger Delta avengers?! Like the marvel movie series?


If so what are they avenging? Who wronged them ?

Few weeks into presidency Buhari ordered Ogoni and creeks cleanup, cleanup for oil spillage that they caused

If Massob and MEND, Tompolo and Dokubo can get the signal, these new avengers should catch the hint too


By God's grace I have copied your usernames, Members of 5%/blame Buhari team if anyone of you complains about IPOB or Avenger member's death by the army , I will personally laugh at you all


Nobody complained when your brothers were kidnapping Oyinbos working on oil rig

You only succeeded in chasing the oyinbos and investments away

Nobody complained when your brothers were flown abroad and paid upwards of 50k for being terrorists they are


I'm sure if you bring death and destruction upon yourselves and your land, it won't stop this boss from taking his bush meat and Stout while reading the news

All my South South brothers continue to hit like so that all the leaches on nairaland should know where we stand

Don't be naive the two parties bear the loss from their actions, so what's the point?
This current issue has plunged the community where I did my youth service into total darkness for about 2 months now (the locals have resulted into buying fuel at expensive prices to generate electricity while the ones without generators have had to live in darkness). This is electricity they get free of charge as part of Shell's CSR.
Shell has had to shut down it's operations meaning the indigenes that work with them are starving since this oil thing is the only source of employment.
They should continue with their wanton destruction, it's not as if they invested the money they got from the amnesty program, it was wholly spent on booze and women.

You damage oil pipes and say NNPC is not supplying; you destroy gas pipes and complain that there's no light. You think you're doing us, you're doing yourself.

If these vandals can return to this, what then is the benefit of the amnesty program they enjoyed? Why did the PDP waste so much on them? I think the military can be justified if they engage these vandals. You cannot continue to treat these terrorists with kid gloves.

Sunnycsileost=44802486:
If Buhari could turn a daft to Fulani murderous and arms carrying herdsmen so why would he flair up with the pipeline vandals

Is human life that fulanis destroy of less value than oil pipelines?


Watching him in 3D

Exactly my thought !

Why has Buhari been silent about the fulani herdsmen , and he was quick to take actions against pipeline vandals, ?
I perceive hatred!

The thing about us Nigerian is that we lie to ourselves. We are always going to have tribal and religious divides.why not look for ways to make our differences work rather than kill ourselves over a regions wealth.
Every Nigerian is corrupt including buhari, yes that's the truth. Ameachi is corrupt and so is wike Gej.
If there is federalism the trickle down effect would be more on the masses.
I disagree with the notion that the major problem we have are state government. For most citizens the is no nexus between them and the fg. Most of us depend.on the state.
So if the state has more funds, yes there mayl still be looting but the people won't suffer as much.

This is what 95% and 5% statement can lead to.

A country that is supposed to be united, our daura president goes about regarding some people and their region as 5%.

fulanimafia:
Talk about liquid courage

These criminals must be dealt with heavily and decisively to clear the ogogoro hangover in their eyes that makes them think they are any match for the armed forces under the current Commander in Chief.

Those egging them on must be reminded that these are not freedom fighters because they have NEVER invested any of the proceeds of their activities in the welfare of the ND people or even attempt a clean up.

These are selfish armed criminals that, like Asari Dokubo, would rather build a University in Benin Republic while the people they claim to fight for suffer from lack of infrastructure.

I urge the military to crush any opposition to securing the waterways and pipelines, they must be reminded the difference between deadly Navy Seamen and their much loved bottle of Seaman's dry gin.

The ones Tompolo invested in Nigeria were the first things the Federal government grabbed and seized. You now see why Asari invested out side the control of our government.

YelloweWest:
What ever happened to negotiating
If the federal government uses force it would be bad.
If the militants use force it will be bad as well.

Why can't there be negotiations?

They say GEJ is clueless, yet he managed to negotiate with militants as VP that Yar'Adua could calm down militants and oil flowed.

GMB has no such people skills.

Boko boiz re out nw, na Militants remain nw. I gv Buratai 2 weeks it will history. Bastards

Buhari and his hypocrisy.

Sad the much touted change actually turned out to be a hoax.

The question you should be asking is "why were they not vandalizing the pipeline in the later years of PDP?" If you had cared to read the article you'd have seen why -" they had some running contracts to provide ongoing protection for the pipelines in their areas (a genius move by the former govt. that ensured lasting peace in that area before now)". But, unfortunately, immediately after clinching power, this current govt. arrogantly scraped the contracts for the pipeline protection service that were awarded to the ND youths by the PDP led govt.".

That's a very dumb, foolhardy and silly thing to do at this time. How do you fight for oil at the same time you claim you want to diversify from oil? This Government's folly is in its deliberate effort to erase peace from the nation. Buhari has no regard for peace. But what he failed to realize is that there cannot be prosperity unless there is, first of all, peace.

It is very foolish of the govt. to scrap those contracts and go on to instigate violence in the ND at the moment they were yet to recover from the shocking loss of their son's reelection bid. The FG should focus on brokering national peace in order to build an all inclusive and well diversified national economy.

But that's not gonna happen when a bunch bigotted socialists are in power. They cannot acheive anything going the way they do. This is not 20th century.

You have good points I must say. Federalism will make every state to sit up and look for ways to generate internal revenue. But for now brother, let's help promote national unity, contribute our individual quota to national development, say no to violence and wish nigeria well.

see ur mouth. Why is the northern farming not considered belonging to all Nigerians

For me I do not support the militants to bomb their own pipeline or the Army going in to kill people. I am just afraid it will be very bloody due to the terrain. This is not Sambisa forest that is an open desert land o. This na swamp with a lot of small creeks.

Burutai was in the army when MEND killed a lot of soldiers and seized their gun boats. You all saw the gun boats released by Tom Polo during the amnesty era.

Well, me I go dey drink my Kunu dey watch them.

Next action loading.

This is not military era, Your PMB should learn how to redirect his effort in finding lasting peace and solutions. Some of you would be there threatening to use the military to deal with the militants. You think is easy as you said it. Buhari even when he was a military head of state could not stop the activities of militants even subsequent government until they introduce amnesty programme but some of you would be there making noise.

The population of the entire Niger Delta creek is not close to the arms carrying member of Boko Haram. If Buhari can subdue Boko with their might and artillery, with their tanks and sophisticated hierarchy, Boko Haram that once control a region bigger than Britain and raise their flags...This Militant are just cockroaches...Wait for Buratai, he is coming....................... And when he comes, no mercy for you and those that hide you..Our oil must be secured at all cost.

Quakertellicus1:
I am sorry, but those Pipeline vandals don't really have much wisdom.

So, they want to vandalize pipelines, because it is their right.

Meanwhile....the environment gets damaged, jobs are lost as companies pull out, and people continue to suffer.
.

We actually have nothing to lose but everything to gain

Even with oil production going on, we still have our environment damaged, have you not heard of the Ogoni ecological disaster

Yeah, let the jobs be lost, after all, our people are not employed so let Ahmed lose his job at the terminal

The worst suffering is when you see billions taken from your region without any empathy or concern for the people.
