BREAKING: Army Confirms Losing 2 Officers To Militants by rolchi(m): 4:49pm On Jun 02, 2016
The Nigerian army has confirmed losing two of its men to Niger Delta militants.

John Unuakahlu, assistant director army public relations, confirmed the incident, saying it happened in Warri South West local government area, a stronghold of the militants, in Delta state.

Unuakahlu said four civilians were also killed, while a soldier sustained injury, and another had been declared missing.

“At about 5:50pm on 1 June 2016, Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) houseboat deployed at Ejere junction in Warri south local government area was attacked by suspected armed militants group,” he said in a statement.

“The suspected militants approached the Houseboat in Five (5) speed boats mounted with 250 horse power engines and disguised as normal commuters.

“During the deliberate attack 2 soldiers were killed, one wounded, one soldier missing while 4 civilian staff attached to the house boat were shot dead. The attack occurred when other members of the troops were on pipeline patrol.”

A yoruba proverb says, The small pot Dat the stove ignores, might end up quenching the fire from the stove.

A Ijaw proverb says, its the small urine Dat is ignored Dat stains the boxers.

An igbo proverb says, He who chases a chicken will end falling to the ground, cos the chicken itself is known for dribbling and maneuvers.

Then the white man said, Softly, softly, catchy monkey!

I don't know dose advising Buhari, but I know they will end up leading him to doom. His idiotic statements and body language so far are the reasons why these conflagrations are degenerating.
U call a man minority today and you expect to feed from tomorrow. Buhari should think and retrace his steps. Ignore this silly militants at ur own peril, cos they are like wasps that perched on the Scrotum.

Ya'adua was loved by all cos he chose to be civil and wise.
The level of hatred among tribes has increased tremendously cos Buhari has chosen to cause division than unity.
Anyone that know anyone that knows Buhari should talk sense into his head. I don talk finish!!!

Shattap there...what's wrong with dialogue and fulfilling their conditions? Must every thing be by fire and force? For several months they made it known and very clear, even warned that these attacks would be happening if their conditions are not met. This government should stop unnecessary insecurity and tension in this country....FULFILL THEIR CONDITIONS FOR THE SAKE OF PEACE.

The NDA will double Nigerias defence budget next year and increase defence expenditure this year. They will boost the careers of Nigerian Army and Airforce officers and we may see massive recruitment into NSCDC. This is what we have been clamouring for.

All this bloodshed would have been avoided only if our president looked into this people's case in a civil manner...we wouldn't have lost billions of naira....but we'll dem say fulani men no dey hear word

Could it be that Nigerian Navy doesn't handle weapons? How come they've not got any notable role despite the fact that some of these crisis regions involve water ways.

They are two just like the army says. The annoying part of the whole thing is that those soldiers were actually sleeping on duty. They were with their girlfriends (two to be precise) and these militants could not even spare the ladies. They killed the ladies. They shot the soldiers on the head(because they were sleeping), killed the civilians and sped off.

The militants are attacking soft military targets. They cant attack heavy guarded military installations because they will meet there waterloo!
Riffraffs!!!
