The FG has to recognise other Ethnic groups of the Delta. The Urhobos are capable of shutting down power supply in Nigeria being a major producer of gas with many pipelines criss-crossing their communities. 16 Likes 1 Share |

The FG is setting a bad precedence there. Like Idiovwa rightly pointed out, it will only serve to encourage criminality and instill a kind of, "yeah, that's how to grab them by the balls!" Feeling. That was a sign of weakness on the part of the government. A smarter move would have been to allow them carry out a couple more bombings, and then declare a state of emergency as a result. It would have made those nitwits sympathetic-to-their-cause government of theirs sit up. That's if they aren't even the instigators. The government gave up way too soon. Sad thing is, they did in a cowardly manner while they were so close to achieving results! 24 Likes 2 Shares |

some Urhobos too dey do! so if some alleged Ijaw militants do not rise up to fight against the injustice done to them, Urhobos will stay down being 'law' abiding citizens? nevertheless, the Urhobos and Isokos have benefited over the years by dominating the state civil service and pulling strings in the state government. all what they've done is rush at crumbs - FG allocation and 13% derivation. These supposed Ijaw militants appear as wanting to make things change from the federal level vizaviz True federalism, Resource control, Regionalism and Self determination. 57 Likes 2 Shares |

I'm Urhobo but we can obviously see that this man isn't entirely condemning the actions of the militants. He is only doing so sentimentally. At the very least He subtly wants the federal government to replicate anything done for the ijaws in other parts of the Delta or risk the up spring of many other terrorist groups. Whether or not the militants are fighting for their selfish interest is not my business because some of their demands are sensible and no one can deny. The ND should be the most developed part of this country but it has been largely neglected by the FG. Oil companies that should have their headquarters in the ND have them at Lagos and Abuja, generating more revenue to those states while the communities where the crude is drilled are left devastated and its inhabitants living in penury. Its quite obvious that negiotiating with the NDA won't stop the agitations, only True Federalism will and that's what every Niger Deltan wants. 44 Likes 5 Shares |

Writing in bold won't make your comment more accurate or dumb, if it already is. Who is greedy here? The militants and the entire Niger Delta asking for True Federalism (control of their own wealth) , or the government that steals and has been stealing our oil wealth for decades now, giving us a meagre 13% while we bear the devastation??

These guys have a genuine grievance. The FG should, as a matter of urgency, reach out to other indigenous groups if peace is being negotiated because they are as much stakeholders in the region as the Ijaws. That said, I find it indeed sad the FG, just as these guys said, has succumbed to blackmail by agreeing to negotiate at gun-point. Nothing encourages criminality and armed insurrection more than what is going on right now and that is why we are seeing a whole new kind of hustle in the region where as little as a group of three men could come together and form a group with some fancy name, vandalise a pipeline somewhere and give the government an ultimatum!! Before you know it, every lazy slob in the region (I said lazy ones before some idiot says I called all the people of an entire region lazy slobs) would turn to a grenade wielding militant with a twitter handle. Then again, every criminal politician in the region would also find arming some layabouts with guns and grenades to blow some shiit up the surest way to get a soft landing from an "un co-operating" government. God help us and heal our land. 9 Likes 1 Share |

omenka:I blame our surveillance and intelligence agencies especially the DSS. The DSS re not doing their job! I mean what does it really take to ve a comprehensive record and data of all these militants and prospective ones and place them on surveillance! The complacency of the DSS is shamefully dangerous! They re more busy today snuggling around government and state houses wearing big suits seemingly protecting high profile politicians. These militants were busy making threats and the DSS failed to be proactive. The FG posture today unfortunately is one dictated by circumstance! U ll agree with me that there are promises to be fulfilled and time is running out! I understnd that govt jus hve to look for a way round the whole debacle. 3 Likes |

Millerz: How is the FG stealing?? What have our governors done with the 13%derivation? Was the oil resource not developed with federal capital I agree with resource control but I am afraid, it will just give our governors more to steal. Either way, let each state control their future and pay to the center. 10 Likes |
