Political solution, the only remedy to militancy.

dammytosh:


Every where in the world, if an armed group surrender their weapon. Amnesty is an option.

Nobody fights a group that does not care about death. It is a waste of precious lives and resources.

Litmus:
There are some children you can reason with, give advise and they will run with it, become successful and so on. Conversely, there are some children you cant reason with because they are too stupid, shortsighted, immature and so on. These last group only learn from avoidable painful mistakes. For instance, you might get a child who insists on wearing their trousers low so that they subsequently walk like penguins. You tell them that although you hate their slovenly carriage, you will tolerate it since it is the current fashion among youths. However, you implore them to take their study's seriously. But they respond by telling you that they want to be a Celebrity when they grow up. Your eyes does this , but you say, 'fine you want to be a Celebrity, but study for a profession too jut in case you fail to become a Celebrity. 'I'm not going to fail', they tell you, 'I'm going to be a celebrity. JZee didn't study and now look at him, a millionaire'. By this time you're seething, but you bare it and try to make sense to them, through clenched teeth. You say for instance, 'look, son, the Music industry thrives by limiting the amount of stars out there. There are billions of people in the world, while there can never be too much Doctors, Accountants, scientist and so on, Musicianship is limited. Even very talented individuals may not make it if they don't meet certain stereotype'. 'No, no', the boy says, 'anyone can be a Celebrity, i could be discovered tomorrow'. You tell him, 'ok, let me see what you're doing to become a star'. The boy starts rapping some crap.

Anyhow the upshot is that no matter what you do or say, this type of youth will never understand because he is the type of youth that only learns from mistakes. The problem is, if you decide to leave them, confident that in future they will regret badly, the satisfaction you get will not make up for the enormity of the tragedy of their failure in life.

Many of these supposedly Niger Delta youths doing militancy are stupid people that you cannot reason with or help see the failure that lies ahead for their so-called Delta Republic . Unfortunately, I TOLD YOU SO is not an option. We cannot wait for them to regret the consequences of their stupid acts.

Stop trying to reason with these people on Niraland, or even in the creeks, they're too thick to understand. Nigeria has to empower the wider community, win the trust of the majority of Niger Deltans.

bejeiodus:
You do more damage to the Niger Delta with your bombings. This is nothing but a puerile method of agitation. Who hurts himself because he wants to be heard? I doubt the altruism of your cause if the only way to achieve it is violence.

malton:
You fight for the interest of the Niger Delta by bombing facilities in the region, further chasing investors away from there.

Monies that should have been used in building new infrastructure will end up being used in rebuilding.

You put the lives of the people at risks and expose them to vulnerability.

Smart. Smart. Smart!

Stunted wizards!

viktagorion:
We are moving away from oil and diversifying the economy.

This President has the will to do so.

Meanwhile, the oil spilled in your senseless quest and consequent environmental devastation will take years to clean up.


Continue the bombing, useless nitwits.
Very barbaric boys highly senseless.

MrAdetunjiBayo:
Don't these militants know that there is a new sherrif and yusuf in town? Our Baba buhari is our sheriff and yusuf in town.

Guyman02:
If Igbo youths of IPOB or other agitators decides to team up with the ND militants, it will take a different dimension and the whole oil system will be grounded.
Imagine how many months it took the FG and the NBC with all their equipment to locate the Radio Biafra of Nnamdi Kanu after several lies and lies.
Remember what Akpabio said about kidnapping which was started by ND militants as a tool to seek for attention becoming a serious issue when Igbo boys stepped in and turned it into a commercial venture.



You must be a Yoruba; always appeasing and telling people who have been pushed to the wall how they hurt themselves when they react. Na so una take lose Ilorin to the Fulani and compare that to Abia and Enugu States who have formed an armed official vigilante after one attack from herdsmen while Benue Governor travels to Abuja everyday to beg FG to save their people from herdsmen who continues to pillage communities there as we speak.

oc2fish:


Well some are doing sucide bombing because of punny

titiakins:
Sorry to say but boko haram lives is not precious
These are people who have killed innocent people for no just cause
And the you give them amnesty
When you live by the sword you die by the sword

Guyman02:
If Igbo youths decides to team up with the ND militants, it will take a different dimension

searchiing4love:
WE ALL OWN THE OIL AS LONG AS WE REMAIN ONE NIGERIA. WE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTHWEST HAVE ONCE FED THE WHOLE COUNTRY WITH OUR COCOA PLANTATIONS AND WE NEVER FORMED ARMED MILITANTS. I URGE THE GOVERNMENT TO BOMBARD THE CREEKS AND ELIMINATE THOSE MISCREANTS CALLED MILITANTS AND CANCEL THE USELESS AMNESTY. MOST OF THE STATES CANT PAY SALARIES AND A NONENTITY CALLED TOMPOLO EMBEZZLED 13BILLION NAIRA IN LAND SCAM? NEVER AGAIN SHALL WE HAVE A CLUELESS PRESIDIOT LIKE GEJ

[size=14pt] It(Lagos) belong to we yorubas only.[/size]

divide9ja:
Nigeria is becoming a joke.

The whole of Lagos belongs to the Yoruba people but at the same time the whole oil belongs to the whole Nigeria!

See a scratch face make the declaration that the whole oil belongs to all nigeria, is he not a joke



[size=14pt]The same people that claim Lagos for only the Yoruba are claiming the Oil in the Niger Delta[/size]






If the yoruba's claim Lagos and it's okay, why cant we the Niger Delta claim what belonged to our ancestors?

You see the reason we are angry?

Also all or most of the blocks belong to the North.

WHY WE NO GO VEX!

IBO PEOPLE HELP US OH!
WE ARE YOUR COUSINS!

LET BY GONES BE BY GONES

tempest01:
Lol...all these posters on top with their tongue in cheek concern for the niger deltan environment....

It's simple, this is a region that feeds the nation...you don't expect the FG to mismanage the country, create unemployed youths everywhere and still take resource from them. There will be rebellion....the DG should engage the youths of the niger delta and Nigeria on the whole. They should show more empathy at least....they have raised a point about the amnesty coordinator, that should be a step to show seriousness...


Until the FG can effectively create employment, secure our borders, provide light and other amenities....not just selling crude and sharing the money in Abuja, I'm afraid militancy will be part and parcel of the day.



All you guys showing fake concern for the ND region, if you were in the creek area suffering, with all the money being extracted from your backyard, would you still say same?


I am against militancy and I am also against injustice....the earlier the stake holders find a genuine approach to solve this, the better. Dishing out money to ex militants is not the optimum solution....the government should simply do it's job...and the militants should give the new government time to balance, see their resolve, before agitation.

dammytosh:


By innocent lives i mean the people they will continue to kill if we don't allow those who are ready to surrender unconditionally get rehabilitated.

See those rats don't value their lives. They will continue killing.

Also don't forget that some of them are children not given the option to choose. They were recruited by force.
