Niger Delta Have Nothing To Offer Nigeria Anymore by dallyemmy: 5:04pm On May 26, 2016
I have been an active advocate and supporter of people in the Niger Delta to get a fair share of the oil resources in Nigeria found 90% in their soil. In 1999 I wrote in my Book, Heroes of Democracy that: “I cannot pretend that I do not know the level of atrocities and man’s inhumanity to man that has been going on in the oil-rich region of the Niger Delta neither have I closed my eyes to the tragic stories of the bloodbath in the region. The struggle for the liberation of the Niger Delta, which has suffered 42years of criminal neglect, did not start yesterday. On February 23, 1966, Major Isaac Idaka Boro with some 50 men of the Niger Delta Volunteers Service (NDVS) declared Ijaw secession from Nigeria. Nigeria instead of listening to their grievances declared war on Isaac Boro and his men and eventually crushed the rebellion. Ken Saro-Wiwa picked up the campaign from where Isaac Boro stopped in the 80s and 90s until General Abacha murdered nine prominent Ogoni sons (including Ken Saro-Wiwa) and others in very bizarre circumstances. The tragedy attracted both local and international condemnation, but it was not enough to stop the human carnage and degradation in the Niger Delta.” I have preached justice, equity, and fair play for the people of the Niger Delta but 17years after I am beginning to have a rethink about the inhabitants of the Niger Delta and their antics.

Yes Nigerians asked for justice in the Niger and in the past 17 years we saw the massive deployment of resources to that very important region via NDDC, Ministry of Nigeria Delta, and 13% derivation to oil producing States. In spite of all these huge interventions, I saw former President Obasanjo blackmailed. I saw Former President Yar’Adua blackmailed and intimidated. Yar’Adua was compelled to negotiate with them, and he put together billions of naira for reconciliation, rehabilitation, training and financial support to enable them to stand on their feet without resort to violence and brigandage to get attention. I saw Former President Jonathan blackmailed to the extent that he had to cede oil wells and dole out billions of naira and dollars to the militants led by Tompolo, Asari Dokubo, Boyloaf, etc. In six years Jonathan was in power, these criminal militants thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

They were big boys in town. They talked tough; they walked tough and painted the cities of Abuja and Lagos, Bayelsa, and Port Harcourt red. They became laws unto themselves. Power, money, influence, position, connection, contacts, etc. began to becloud their senses of reasoning. During the 2015 Presidential Elections, they threatened fire and brimstone that if the rudderless and clueless Jonathan loses the election. They knew that no serious President will condone their excesses, blackmail, impunity, and brigandage if their man Friday losses. Oil or no oil, every ethnic group has something to put on the table in Nigeria.

This country is what it is today because all have sacrificed something even blood to make it what it is today. Now the Niger Delta militants are destroying oil platforms. They have crippled power stations that run on gas. They have destroyed their own landscape and polluted the waters and aquatic life.

Apart from NDDC, Ministry of Niger Delta and 13% deprivation, the militants from the region have been granted amnesty by the Federal Government and have been on the payroll for close to 10years now. Jonathan was the President for 6years, and he used the exalted position to provide massive empowerment to the people of the region. Apart from making the militants multi-billionaires for doing nothing, people from the region were made Heads of juicy MDAs. What else do they want? There is no hope for these bloody idiots who call themselves the Avengers. They are a bunch of reprobates and common criminals. They are too small and too insignificant to hold this responsible and responsive government to ransom through blackmail and intimidation. They blackmailed Obasanjo, Yar’adua, Jonathan and now Buhari. They have reached their final bus stop and the point of no return. If the president can crush Boko Haram, these useless Avengers are damned too small.

I foresee war in the Niger Delta, and it will bloody and destructive. Niger Delta has nothing to offer Nigeria anymore except, criminality, and sabotage, destruction of oil platforms, murder, brigandage, and corruption, this time to stop the criminals who have had it call. Apart from Niger Delta Ministry, NDDC, and 13% derivation, the idiots and the leaders of Niger Delta have cornered oil wells; they have stolen crude oil worth billions of dollars, Nigeria has spent billions training thousands of the so-called militants and their cronies in Nigeria and beyond. Now this cycle of stupidity must stop. To me oil is nothing, and Nigeria is diversifying for good. Look at what these animals are doing to their environment in the name of avenging the federal government.

Hmmm
Re: Niger Delta Have Nothing To Offer Nigeria Anymore by EmeeNaka: 5:31pm On May 26, 2016
it will be a mistake for Federal government to go for an all out war in Niger Delta. Firstly, the war will fail.
secondly, it will be costly to Nigeria military. Such war will draw the entire Eastern region and will eventually lead to the demise of this Country.
Federal govt should Federalize Nigeria into 6 geopolitical federating units and each unit allowed to bring money to the centre. That's how to solve the problem otherwise, Nigeria will not succeed in Niger Delta. 2014 National Conference decisions should be implemented to the letter and Nigeria problems will be largely solved.
