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.

And when we have won...the billions would be spent cleaning up the mess.....again.

Quakertellicus1:


How about the human life wrecked by the further pollution caused by the pipeline vandals.?

How about jobs lost as business pulls out?

Abeg....both the fulani v farmer and vandals are the same people.

So the VP should constitute a similar, special task force to guard farmers eh....if he dares. There is no way to explain out this country. You will always be caught short. Oil is more important than lives. Take it or leave it. There are far bigger problems to tackle. At least the zeros effect of anti-corruption war on the well-being of the Nigerian citizen has proved that.

bashydemy:
If tomorrow now the Navy and the Army started killing this enemy of this country now, Some wailers and IPOD will be shouting PMB has bad agenda against their region..

Then they will need to kill every body there because as the body count rises so will the resentment. Surely you don't want to go that way and i dare the government to do so. The only way out is to negotiate while seeking alternative sources of livelihood for the government and people of this country. These militants are the best tools to diversify the economy because the black man cannot learn by example but by suffering. Buhari has been in government for one solid year. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE TO FREE US FROM THE SHACKLE TO BIG OIL. That is what you fellows should be asking not demanding more oil like a junkie pants after crack. SET YOURSELVES FREE FROM OIL.

My take is that violence never solves any problem. Dialogue is the way forward because some of the pipelines are located in difficult terrain which make total protection difficult. Let both sides sheath their sword. Like what one popular reggae musician sang "i don't want no peace, all i want is justice". I rest my case.

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

How do you mean? Do you not eat the produce of northern farms? Do I not pay for the oil at the pump? See your own mouth.

sweetilicious:
Am just watching Nigeria. If i make common sense now they will ban me again.None of my business if they blow everything. What has citizens benefitted from Nigeria?

it is also non of my business if every piple line is put off completely. Come to think of it, can any normal human being come out and say we are living any average live under Buhari? Apart from T:Y: Danjuma etc., who owns as many oil blocks as possible, making so much money every day? All na vanity. When it come to oil, Buhari will increase and grow extra ordinary energy. He should go and set up special task force for Fulani Herdsman who kill innocent Nigerians, besides destroying farm lands.

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.

Thrash. Go and tell Buhari to crush his Fulani Herdsmen too. These men kill innocent people and destroy farmlands, oleh crude oil.

Sunnycliff:
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

Na u gan gan I dey watch in 3D. The Fulani herdsmen did not start today, it started during GEJ era dating back to 2013, why don't u offer ur selfish and silly advise to him then? Everything takes a lot of plan to tackle. Buhari has just gradually relegated Boko Haram and then the Fulani Herdsmen started creating another problem for his govt, and then Biafra, then corruption is fighting back and then Niger Delta Avenger blowing up pipelines. Govt is not run the way u think, it takes time with lots of plans and he is taking a step after the other. He will surely tackle it all and don't you think human lives mean nothing to him, if that's d case y did he venture into tackling the Boko Haram? People that human lives means nothing to was GEJ and his cohorts, using Arms money for re-elections and personal interest of him and for his people. He was solely concern with power. Imagine him n the wife saying Chibok girls were not actually kidnapped when the kidnapped first took place; that it was staged to get him out of office. That statement to me is playing politics with human lives. A good leader would have take action and be proactive at the very early stage probably they would have been recovered. Example is how Gov. Ambode tackled the kidnapped of the school girls in Ikorodu, Lagos. Why didn't Ambode tagged the kidnapped to his detractors and political opponents? When stuff like that happens, a good leader put all political sentiments aside and investigate and then find the kidnapped first after seeing them then during ur investigation you will know and tell the public who are the brain behind it. GEJ and his Wife doubted till couple of months until it was really down on him and he confessed it was real. Remember, GEJ did not visit this Girls family in Borno or visit where it all happened until election time when he needed the people after 9months. That was callous. All of you went to sleep and suddenly show up now to talk. Buhari has not even spend 1 year yet and we are seeing sign of serious govt, even without budget. But GEJ spent 6 years with unseriousness and govt direction yet u guys were saying he still need tym he will turn things around. Something he can't do in 6 years, common, let's be reasonable when we think, even with budget after budgets that he got at his disposal, even with oil at well over $120 and yet you guys still have mouth to talk? Buhari was unluckky with all these things at GEJ era, no budget yet, oil price is $40 and he is still not up to one year in office at least we have seen a direction of his govt, don't be bias, why don't you all give him chance too like you did to GEJ? I am not saying Buhari does not have some flaws too but what I am saying is he is far more serious than GEJ. GEJ gave room for everyone to hold his govt to randsome and steal money, they all made him so weak as a leader. All because he does not want to step on toes and wanted all to perceive him good in other to win second term in office yet he failed. Lesson is don't try to please anyone but only God. That is paramount.

folks4luv:
I wish those militant will stop, but I don't want to b a hypocrite. if pmb is yet to send strong warning signals to d Fulanis taking precious lives, that can't be regained or repaired, it will b hypocrisy to threaten militants to stop blowing pipelines that can b repaired and restored.

blowing up pipelines, who will suffer it on the long run? The indigents of that place. They are just doing themselves. Nigeria will suffer on the short run, and they will eventually diversify. But the ecosystem of the Niger Delta will be forever damaged with the continous oil vandalisms and explosions they keep carrying out. They will suffer ehn.... And the worst past is that the rest of Nigeria will not be willing to help them. So, if they like, they can continue encouraging those foolish boys shouting Awa Oyel. When we drop the Oyel, we go see wetin them wan bomb again

Let the pollution continue, when their environment is no longer habitable they will run to the neighbouring states to become tenants there. They've forgotten that government is like a man with many wives, if one proves stubborn the husband has many others waiting to embrace him.

I Am So sick Of all this reprisal attacks. We cannot excel as One Nigeria If We are Divided. The Perpetrators of this act are hoodlums that Doesn't have the interest of Nigeria at heart.

pchukwudi:


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 are asking the government to reward terrorism with pipeline contracts.

Brugo:

No.

Actually I am asking the government to understand that the cost of peace in ND region is way lower than the cost of anarchy in that region.

I am asking the government to learn the simple art of engaging its antagonists in a productive living that would pacify the antagonists and yet ultimately lead to the govt's gain.

I am asking the government to be sensitive and human to a people that have been deprived of their ancestoral heritage both in the past, present and in the future. The nation has raped ND for decades. And the gangrape has damaged the fertility of her earth-womb for good. Her kids are desperate and dying and she could no longer sustain them the way she did in the past prior to the advent of the oil plague.

I am asking the govt to realise that a quater of the current 800,000 barrels we currently lose per day is way more than enough to use as a bait to engage the ND youths as protectors of govt. properties in those areas.

I am asking the govt to realise that any asssault against the ND is an assault on the intergrity of the FG (and reckless battering of its trust-worthiness). That's very damaging to the very foundations of the mutual trust and harmony that had existed in that area for years. And when the chips are down, it may be impossible for the govt. to ever regain that trust again.

And no, I am not from ND.

Can you beleive that many of us can not pay Nepa bill, Niger delta, one room is about N100k. And their is always darkness. Since this fulani man came, fuel is now for the rich. Let them vandalise more,bc their is no benefit for us.

Leyelanre:

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.

U have absolutely no idea of what true federalism is all about, how about educating your brain first?

cocoduck:

Buharis greatest mistake is talking hard on dis grouops why not 1st play along den set up refinearies in other regions and tap d huge deposits of oil in other region like ogun state befre disbanding Dem. Now we Nigerians would suffer more from his callous statement. Violent has never solved anyThing Obj diD it bt yielded

It is stupid to compare Buhari's govt with GEJ's which we consider flawed. A complete departure from the so-called PDP lackluster style of government is what Nigerians look out to see in a Buhari's govt that rode to victory on the change mantra and with high hopes. Nothing from Buhari short of something exceptional will do. Buhari can't tell us he was always fighting to clinch the presidency for years without luck only for him to emerge to come give us all this crap.
It's still unbelievable!

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.

And it isn't like they are developing their communities, they are only looking out for their pockets.

And at the end of the day, when things get really tough....they will blame the government for their suffering.

I don't know...but the problem with certain parts of Nigeria....North and South....are the people who live there. They don't think about all the consequences of their actions....it is today's chop dem want.

Well said! Preach it bro'.....pre-ea-ach!!!

[s]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[/s].
