The multinationals are behind these explosions. It is time we sack them and run these operations ourselves - with transparency.

Why has Buhari been silent concerning this Issue lately

I just believe Buhari has failed as a retired military man. I vote Buhari yes no regrets, the only available options better than PDP.

When Iraq face with a similar problem, their president have to look for refurbished jet fighter like SU-24 and SU -27 with helicopter KA-50 and MI-28 havoc for air cover against BH, NDA and Fulani terrorists.

Nigeria is slowly sliding into civil war. Greed will not allow everyone to rest

sanandreas:
Dialogue could end this but will he be humble enough? You called south south and South east 5% but what were you thinking? An American president would never make a derogatory statement. The 5% carries the burden of Nigeria for over 50 years. What most people from the other side see is bomb and level Niger-delta. Let me ask you what do you contribute to the entity called Nigeria? We Niger-deltans demand unreserved apology from the FG of Nigeria

Keep waiting for apology let me ask you personally what do you add to Nigeria? because oil is located in Niger-Delta so everybody must lick your feet. Don't worry destroy your own land very well and you tell Brazilians to swap places with you abi

them get twitter account wh3n is boko haram going to have their own twitter account to give us fresh updates of exploits in the ravaged jungle of northeast

A new armed militant group in Nigeria's Niger Delta, "The Niger Delta Avengers" today destroyed the main pipeline supplying gas that provides electricity to the Escravos tank farm in Delta state owned by Chevron. In a tweet sent from its account on Twitter, the group said the latest action was carried out after Chevron ignored its May 12 warning not to fix a major crude pipeline blown up by the group early in the month.

The group did not disclose if the latest attack led to human casualties.

I know that some people would call me a ''Yoruba man'' or a Hausa man or slave.....or an APC propaganidist.....but here goes.

It seems the Niger Delta has a problem....and the problem is its own young people. They are , by blowing up their pipelines , attacking their own land and their own people.
'
They won't protest at the way that their governors have left them underdeveloped. For many years, the Niger Delta has gotten hefty allocations from the center....and yet the land remains underdeveloped. Yet....it is the oil companies....who spend millions on scholarships,and Community development projects, and who clean up the pollution at their own expense....that are the ones attacked.

The fact that we have a NDA also shows that the last 5 years of PDP rule...when we had a Niger Delta man in charge...were unmitigated failure. And it shows that the amnesty project did not even work.

I am sorry....but I have no sympathy for the Niger Delta Agitators. If they cannot agitate for good governance by their governors, and their LG chairmen, if they cannot agitate for even more action on pollution, if they cannot agitate for better schools.,and if they cannot agitate for their state governors to buy oil blocks under a JV programme....then they are just in it for the money.

I am sorry....but Nigeria should not pay any more danegeld. Enough is enough.

Continue at least this will push us to explore coal and hydro power sources
With Time escravours will move to ondo to compete with the new LNG
Shell is building the world largest gas plant in imo state and anambra has a huge gas deposit too
Very soon the Niger delta will be relegated to the back were they are supposed to stay
Have u had igbos destroying there own land to get at government? ? From Delta to imo to Abia state even ikwa ibom don't do this rubbish
Just a selfish set of people that feel because they are the bread winner today all Nigeria should wash there feet
The deep water oil belong to Nigeria and not even to Niger Delta because we fought to include there in Nigeria so anything we will still export oil continue and let people who won't scratch the own land hail u

Here we go again.
why build it in an area where you have less Gas deposit. what is happening will still happen.
they will still destroy the major line feeding it one day.

This is the _dumbest comment I have had to reply in eons.

Sometimes you shouldn't just write. Read other people's comments and learn.

The same way government has run corporations under the state and federal level for many years?

Govt run corps in Nigeria have a bad history. There is a good reason why GEJ privatized power...because PHCN had become so inefficient after over 40 years of being a govt run entity.

Even if you are angry with this militants, you will agree with me that Buhari is to blame because he is an unrepented tribalistic person.That an elderly man as Buhari will choose to destroy Nigeria other than repair it is a shame.Buhari is bringing Nigeria down with his divisive policies.Thanks.

The president of Nigeria should obey NDA
that is the greatest insult on Nigeria, are u high
Let them continue to spoil there land, who would loss
We have offshore oil we will still export and make some profit and ur states won't even see ur 13%

its not about insults . hope you know your budget is in danger cause currently Nigeria is producing at 50%

Lol. The way the Yorubas and the northerners are shouting environmental degradation. As if they genuinely care about the environment if not for their economic interest to make sure that the status cho remains. The truth is that majority of for former eastern Nigeria citizens are in support of the group including me. Though I work under the government, I don't care as long as we go our separate ways. We don't want to face reality. Nigeria is too diverse to be governed by one Daura dul*lard with F9 in maths overseeing the fate and economy of 180 millions in the name of 1 Nigeria.

Are you normal?is everything all right with you?

This government will finish nigeria. Obasanjo should have advised the president that force has never worked in the niger delta but negotiation. Our president is not even helping matters in appointments and approach to serious issues that brought us to where we are. He is hell bent on dividing nigeria. APC has simply failed nigerians and they should admit it and not these flimsy excuses but step down for inability to manage the situation. NOTHING IS JUST WORKING.....

But the private sector has not run things any better than govt, in many cases things have worsened after privatisation - case in point is power .

Journalist: what are your plans for Inclusive development of Niger Delta?

GMB: if you look at election results. Some gave me 5% of votes while some gave me 97%

Bubu. He has been dropping the names of USA and Europe as those ready to help him CRUSH Niger delta militants.------- and let the northern Nigeria multi-billionaires continue to hold more than 90% of OIL wells in the Niger delta.

If I were Buhari, I will quikly wave any 'super man ideology' and go after secret dialog with these people because its obvious that his only source of combat is missing in action, inspite the number of them triped in the area (for him mind) to crush the ants

Please tell me what you are saying is true? That this companies are moving gradually away from the Niger Delta?

why am i even happen with this news...........maybe nairaland is turning me to a political and tribal freak...

Call me whatever pleases you..

Negotiating with CRIMINALS and PAYING THEM NOT TO BE CRIMINALS will forever remains a source of National embarrassment to us as a Nation. And I am a Niger Deltan from an oil producing community and a host family as well.


The Militants did not represent us but themselves.

fiscal federalism is the way forward . you go ban NDA supporters tire. it wont hide the truth

I got banned recently because i used the word "maybe Nigeria should split". i was told i violated article 9 which talks about promoting Biafra. I am Yoruba but everyone with brains knows that Nigeria is slowly sliding down to unrest. Look at Niger-Delta,look at Fulani Herdsmen,look at Boko-Haram.Nigeria is getting worse day by day. No one is talking about resolving the issues but when someone comes out with an idea that is different, hell breaks loose on Nairaland by banning. what ever happened to freedom of speech? Do i want to die all in the name of forming unity? Should we wait before the Yorubas starts their own?

We need to discuss this and not banning people everywhere. I am not in Nigeria but i am worried about victims in Nigeria.Poeple who want peace and just want to live life. All this killings and destruction is bad and everyone deservs to live in peace. Truth be told

UK wants to leave the EU,Scotland wants to leave the UK. You don't see banning on their forums when people say they want out. Everyone just wants to live in peace. Is that too much to ask?

Dialogue cause this nonsense..



The AMNESTY Programme for Niger Delta Militants would remain one of our worst decisions as a country for many years to come.

NEVER EVER negotiate with terrorists.. NEVER!

Have the military been able to secure these pipelines?

Scholes007:
Now we are losing it all to ego battle. Some of these people's demand are as simple as ABC, at least meet like half of them especially the one on national conference, payment of their entitlements (amnesty), release of kalu, clean up of their lands, and tendering of some form of entreat statement (not necessaryly an apology).
Also a nation wide programmes/campaigne on unity and respect to all should be evoked. All disrespectful comments about any group on every media plat form shouldn't be tolerated(things like "one basket", "5% and 97%" "born rule"...).

This is the reason why I blame Buhari's administration for these attacks. He could have settled this matter before it even started but, for some reason, he felt it necessary to show off Nigeria's muscle even though it was already preoccupied with Boko Haram. Now he won't back off until it's too late as he will not want to appear as being weak. In the end, the only people who'll suffer are ordinary Nigerians, most of whom voted him into power.

If a child misbehaves, do people blame the child or it's father for its misbehaviour?
