As someone earlier said, when a state of emergency is declared, all civil disobedience will bow to military might and the initial restraint shown to minimize collateral damage through aerial bombardment and ground invasion will be put aside and the real brutality of the armed forces backed by its land, marine and air assets will be fully unleashed.

Definitely there will be an economic backlash but suggesting that it would be enough to ground the economy is just laughable because not only has Nigeria been able to trudge through lower oil prices than what prevails today even amidst lower oil output due to sabotage, we also just more than doubled our monthly revenue generation from about N250 billion last month to over N500 billion at the end of July all from non oil revenue raised by the FIRS and Customs.

May woe befall any militant struck with enough cowardice to call off the declaration of the republic on October 1st.

And you think you have said something

onespecial:





State of emergency ? You and the person u are referring too do not understand the situation.


Are there no military and state of emergency in nations where there are war today ?



If NigerDelta refuses to bow to the miltary in ur dream of state of emergency, what happens ?



Not as if u have Igbos on ur side. Nigeria will likely burn.


Peace is not the absence of war but presence of justice.


Why don't u afonjas and almajiris accept that the era of enjoying position of a victor aided by Britain and Russia is over, let us all bring our interest together and negotiate our future.


If u like, u can keep depending on military might to keep the situation the way it is. Thank God Nigeria military is not an almighty military, i wonder if person go even open mouth for uns.

Lol, u think so? Just provoke the army to come down to creeks, then u will know if the Nigerian armed forces is powerful or not. I don't blame u, it's because it's being long we fought a civil war where everybody come out to fight, now we have hit, run and hide militants like boko haram and avengers, that's why u think the army is powerless. U never see anything. Am sure when the eventual war happens in the Niger delta, u won't be under ur bed

If not for IPOB, MASSOB would have been close to achieving Biafra now, without making a noise. There strategy of none violent agitation still remain the best. See what these Niger Delta guys want to bring to themselves "war". Only a fool will employ force to independence in this 21st century.

Oil is about 93% of our GDP, NDexit will more than ground the economy temporarily...Nigerian govt needs to work against its emergence

Sweetle:


I do not support or call for war but despite all the peaceful demonstrations and methods employed by IPOB, the government never listended to them.

The Niger Delta has been asking for resource control/restructuring since forever and no one is listening.

What is the way forward?

Armchair analysis that's what your submission is all about, war is more and beyond the scope of what you just said, ask yourself what does nigeria contingency plan looks like, do we have the capacity to embark on another gunboat diplomacy? are we sure it would not end in a military fiasco?. With a war (desert warfare) already being fought in the northeast, it would be suicidal to commit our troops to another unnessary jungle warfare in the ND. Dialogue is the only key to peace in this scenario, because foreign involvement can not be ruled out in any modern conflict, and you don't and can never tell; those nations that want nigeria to splinter.

orlaryemy:
You be olodo, how oil take contribute 93% of GDP. For your information, oil sector contribute less than 15% to Nigeria GDP, though it account for over 70& of government revenue, and over 80% of total export. even agricultural sector contributes more to GDP than oil. next time take your time to know meaning of GDP, Export earnings, and Government revenue, They are all different variables.

wayaa007:

Brilliant fool, you could have made your point without resorting to insults. thanks for the information though, I've learnt something new today

blues20:

Are you aware that there are corporation that thrives on conflict......? Please don't pray for war. War is a faceless monster that respect no one. I'm pro Biafra, but via peaceful means. The NDA should not bring war to their region. In the end, its the innocent, that will suffer the most.

Izonpikin:
They can't declare the Niger delta Republic. ..on what grounds can they even achieve that?.governors and senators are not even behind the move...just how...?..The Niger delta citizens are not solely in support of it..so how can their rantings be achieved...I expect these guys to first of all deal with our Niger delta leaders for a start before facing the FG... ...fight more for resource control or true federalism...when they declare a Republic would that automatically reset the brains of our Niger delta leaders who are nothing but fools?...


Abeg I don tire joor...

TruthisGOD:
U fail to understand what might actually happened if the go head with their plan. The will first assisnate all sitting governors that are not in support of their cause, sieze power from the states that the acclaimed to be part of their republic nd declare their republic. Then the show will beging. Guy, if they are really serious there most be some powerful people behind them, ppl u may never even suspect. All those senators utalked abt, i considered them inconsquential. With guns nd bullet they're completely empty.

[b]Rants of a militancy supporter scared silly at the military consequences of treason.

So you expect the military to fold its arms while illiterate thugs threaten the sovereignty of the country they're trained and paid to protect?

The creek rats have been given such a long rope that some kids are beginning to think they can match the military. This is 2016 where GPS and laser guidance is more effective than any fabled native intelligence in the creeks. Our military aircraft are now ISR equipped with GPS capabilities so you are joking if you think there's an inch of the creeks that cannot be reached aerially by night or day.

The long rope for dialogue given has clearly been exhausted as the militants have refused to end their economic sabotage hence the resort to kinetic means.

Nobody wishes for war or loss of innocent lives but this government cannot be blackmailed any further, our sovereignty cannot be threatened any further, and innocent Nigerians cannot continue to suffer the economic implications of militancy any longer. [/b]

Oksman:

I wonder why you think that i support militancy, all the weapon and guided system you mentioned here are all in the arsenal of the US army yet it took them together with the P5+1 members more than a year to resolve the Iran nuclear standoff. It took the US two weeks to take out the taliban in Afghanistan and less than 3months to oust Saddam from Kuwait and i am sure it could'nt have taken them longer to decimate Iran, yet they accepted to dialogue with them. Obama stood his ground against the use of force to compel iran to bow to international pressure to halt it's nuclear ambition, while many republican were in support of the use of force to teach them a lesson. The world is in a mess because of some of these wars, and the war itself did not end the resistance. No can accurately the outcome of any war, and as such we should support any avenue that would foster peace and not violence. We can argue about the merits and demerits of a military conflagaration in the ND, but the final decision rest on the president's table. Thanks.

There's no doubt that diplomacy is the best option but;

1. What do you expect the army to do when the sovereignty of Nigeria is threatened with the declaration of a republic within the country?

2. Can you honestly say the government has not given sufficient room for dialogue and diplomacy?

Answer sincerely and you will see why confrontation is inevitable if the militants don't cease their economic sabotage.
