The Ijaw ethnic people have long dominated oil rebel groups operating in the area, though experts say militants from other communities have also set up new branches.

Since the start of the year, the NDA has carried out a string of devastating attacks on Nigeria's oil pipelines and facilities.

Oil majors including Shell, Exxon, Chevron, Eni and the state-run oil group NNPC have all been targeted this year.

The attacks have reduced Nigeria's output by a third, hammering government revenue at a time of low global oil prices.

The oil sector accounts for 90 percent of the nation's foreign exchange earnings and 70 percent of government revenue.

The NDA has claimed to seek a fairer share of Nigeria's oil wealth for residents of the region as well as self-determination and political autonomy.

Nigerian Economy oya gbera

U want to say weldone to the reasonable elders of the Niger delta that made it happen

God bless Nigeria

It's not a breaking News to some of us though - cos we know NDA ain't Freedom Fighters, rather Oil Rebels!

They are not agitating for the betterment and Developments of the Region, rather for the Control of OUR OYEL!

They're terrorists in my books.

I wasa listening to VOA(Africa Service) few weeks ago and the reporters repeatedly refered to the ND Militants as ''The Nigerian Rebels''

How did these people come up with the statistics highlighted in red?

Both figures are wrong.

Nigerians living abroad remit more than 15% of our Forex

Revenue Mobilization and Fiscal Commission generates more than 35% of our budget.
