IJAW youths under the platform of Ijaw Youth Council, IYC has said the opening of the Maritime University, Okerenkoko, Delta State for academic activities is the first condition for a roundtable discussion with the federal government.




IYC president, Udengs Eradiri made the declaration at Effurun, Delta State during the 2016 annual Major Isaac Boro anniversary celebration with the theme, “The ideals of Adaka Boro and the renewed militancy in the Niger Delta: The way forward.” Udengs in his speech, said: “People have started discussing. There was a meeting in Abuja yesterday (Wednesday) but I told them that such meeting would not work. “If they want us to talk, they must first open the Maritime University and start admitting students, then we would now sit and talk.” Speaking further, he said: “The same issues for which Adaka Boro and Ken Sarowiwa were killed are the same issues the Avengers are raising. “There are no Avengers anywhere.



Settle these issues and the Avengers would fizzle away.” In his remark, the lead speaker at the event, Tony Uranta said: “Isaac Boro and Ken Sarowiwa died fighting for the emancipation of the Niger Delta, later we had Asari Dokubo, Tompolo and others. “But because Tompolo was taken out, new faces have come up. “Government must reassure the people of the Niger Delta that it is not yet ready to terminate the Amnesty Programme as there are still a lot of people yet to go for training.” “If you don’t engage these people, you are building up an army of discontent and the government must restructure Nigeria to a true federalism.”

“On her part, co-speaker and rights activist, Annkio Briggs while taking a swipe on the federal government on the way and manner it is handling the agitations of the region, said: “What the people of the Niger Delta region are asking for is self determination.’’ “This is different from self succession. We want to own our resources and states should be allowed to explore their own resources while paying tax to the federal government.”

Ok

There is no problem without a solution. God will help us on this one, too.

Mr President should do the needful. There will be no resources to fulfil your promises if you don't come down to their level.

True, Karma & Nemesis goes hand in hand. What planned for another is now happening to him & I hope he enjoys it.

buhari will squash these militants once they show themselves.

Hmmm. God help Nigeria.

What happens to Maritime Academy, Oron?


I wonder what Jonathan was thinking, initiating the idea of another maritime varsity.

Oron maritime should be upgraded, period.

Intelligence is far from this Niger Delta youths I swear!!!!!
I told my cousin who was a militant then, that ever taking amnesty is a foolish step, because it told the world what u were doing was for ur selfish interest, while he used his money well sha
Keep showing the world how distrotive you are, keep showing the world and your public sympathy will drop and people will see u as the criminals u are and this will give opportunity to the north to reduce the community of the south, cos sooner or later those community will face ODI treatment and all we will do is sing like timaya
The u can go to ICC which no longer have effect on Africa

There won't be peace until that university re opens I assure you. Amaechi will certainly pay for this. His reign at Abuja will expire in no time.

Who will set it up in flames?? The same way Nigeria is in flame for arresting nnamdi Kanu? ?

we should try for one year to avoid their oil,lets see how that plays out .....no more extra earning in oyel,no more extra money to share to everybody........lets live only on the revenues generated from each state without oyel sales......

we should avoid this evil people ones and for all....

and they should forget selling licence for crude-oil to international companies....that is illegal according to international law.....

we will let shell and others sue you...they will all boycott all oil products coming from that area....just wait and see......

These people are not connected to the Avengers they're just exploiting the situation.
Cos the Avengers have said all they want is autonomy

Hmm, I guess reopening of the university isn't too much to ask, but the 2ND request -
"We want to own our resources and states should be allowed to explore their own resources while paying tax to the federal government.”

Will definitely not work, atleast for now.
It's incumbent of the minister of Niger delta affairs and the interior minister to still hold more talks with the militants.
It seems they are just scared the amnesty program will stop.

While I dislike the idea of using state resources to send people abroad for schooling(as obtainable in the last administration amnesty program) , the amnesty program can be remodeled, the "militants" can be sent to federal universities, and given a monthly stipend.

Once they graduate with relatively good grades they should receive automatic employment in the rigs, the Local content act already mandates foreign companies to employ a certain percentage of Nigerians.

So where will the FG get the money to pay workers at 0 bpd? Where do you think Nigeria sources its revenues from?
