10 Reasons Why Niger Delta Militants Are Deadlier Than “crippled” Boko Haram by tolexy111: 1:21am On Jul 07, 2016
– The Niger Delta militants have succeeded in destroying many oil pipelines in the region
– The militants have also issued various degrees of threats and made some outrageous demand from the Nigeria government



Following the recent attacks by the militants in the Niger Delta region, a number of reasons why the reemergence of the group might be more dangerous than the formerly notorious Boko Haram terrorists have been listed by the Nigerian Bulletin. Since the past month, the new militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers have made series of threat which they have also carried out without hesitation; destroying pipelines and at such crippling the Nigerian economy. Below are the 10  reasons why the militant group might be worse than the Boko Haram terrorists:

1. Boko Haram’s demands are religion-centric. It’s either their belief or no other. Baseless enough to have drawn attentions of international bodies making it easy to curb. Niger Delta militants demands are well spelt-out and arduous to achieve by the Federal Government. International bodies will only advise.

2. Boko Haram was managed for over five years by the Nigerian government yet the economy was only gradually sinking. Niger Delta militants are fast attacking and the implications are gross on the national economy.

3. Even ardent Muslim faithfuls are no sympathizers of Boko Haram but the Niger Delta militants have always had one or the other. Some South leaders believe in their course.

4. Niger Delta militants have always striven from generations to generations. From Obasanjo’s Regime to Yar’Adua down the lane to Buhari’s administration.

5. Even when they were granted amnesty during Umar Musa Yar’adua’s regime, they still came upon irritations with the present administration. Boko Haram has not even been offered Amnesty yet they flee sometimes to other countries upon fierce close-up on them.

6. Federal Government is still dreadful of negotiating with the militants in spite of their multi-identities. There is Niger Delta Avengers, Ultimate Warriors, Egbesu Boys, Indigenous People of Biafra and other upcoming ones. Boko Haram is just a singular network. US intelligence confirmed a non-connection with Al-Quaeda.

7. Niger Delta is soaked with Nigeria’s greatest explored resources, that is oil. The militants threaten with that always. Enough to paralyze Nigeria’s economy immensely than the North’s yields for the country.

8. Boko Haram is based in Nigeria, Cameroon, Niger and Chad. They face hell from all of these countries limiting their chances. Niger Delta Militants attack only in Niger Delta regions only making it quite easy for the groups to gather momentum always.

9. Boko Haram location in Nigeria is known and even land-based. Niger Delta militants are not shadows but housed by their people, operating from the land and also from the waters.

10. Niger Delta militants attack oil pipelines, wells and trunk lines giving an apparent indications that they possess high profile/modernized weapons for vandalism compared with weapons of killings and destroying buildings used by Boko Haram.

Boko Haram is deadlier because it is 99% brainwashing based. I give ND 70%.

Selfish?! Restructuring is selfish? Resource control is selfish? Regional autonomy n governance is selfish? Moreso than d demand for am islamic caliphate meant to subjugate people to barbaric beliefs they share no part of as well as treat women as low class beings? More selfish than a criminal insurgency that has claimed tens of thousands of lives and displaced hundreds of thousands? shocked

There must be another meaning to selfish which I am yet to grasp! angry

when militant arose diring yaradua's regime all they wanted was amnesty "billions coming to their purse for doing nothin" and how have u benefited from it instead of them using the money for clean uo and environmental development, tompolo turned himself to a billonaire under jonathan's regime and now we have buhari's regime who happens to be an hausa and muslim. I hope you can connect the puzzle on this. You'll agree with me dat they only resurfaced because jonathan lost
