Hostage taking is a "get rich quick" venture for these millitants and their sponsores and dont be surprised if another set of foreigners are held hostage in this coming weeks. I sincerely hope they will look at the right direction by kidnapping the family members of the Niger Delta governors, while asking the governors to account for the monthly allocations and 13% derivatives they get from the F.G.
Re: Are Militants Fighting For Development Of Niger Delta Or Themselves? by nikynike(f): 12:54pm On Feb 19, 2007
Eh Donn, it will be better if for them to kidnap people from their local areas,governors and their families.And live the foreigners alone.

Re: Are Militants Fighting For Development Of Niger Delta Or Themselves? by Wetin: 3:22pm On Feb 19, 2007
Militants are very wicked.I dont think there should be supporters.They've just released an expatriate and his nigerian driver after 25 days. If there members as Mckren said, they should stop because their effort will not give a positive result.Except dialog and discussions.


@ Mckren,
Niky's post on OUK is not bad.She said her view.l think we all have freedom of speech.Kindly make ur opinion know and give space for other viewers and contributors.

These militants have raised awareness to the injustice that is going on in the Niger delta. However i agree the governors and local govt officials should be held accountable too. One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.
Re: Are Militants Fighting For Development Of Niger Delta Or Themselves? by Wetin: 10:32am On Feb 20, 2007
Yes l agreed with Tornadoz, to rebuild the Niger Delta,there must be dialog, peaceful discussions positive agreement between the government and the Niger Delta. Using the militants will not help.
Re: Are Militants Fighting For Development Of Niger Delta Or Themselves? by Y2k(m): 1:24pm On Feb 20, 2007
Yes they have raised the awareness to some extent.I think they should hold their leaders responsible for their cummunity development. Illigal abduction of expatriates will give rise to problem in the country with other foreign countries. Meanwhile the negotiations and payments made to those militants are going directly to their pocket.So how does it get to the poor masses who are in need of these developments. They should go into discussions with their states governments both the local governments too and their goal will be achieved.

Re: Are Militants Fighting For Development Of Niger Delta Or Themselves? by westlife(m): 8:19am On Feb 21, 2007
Fighting for their single pockets not for their communities at all. It is just like a society who are after money not for the interest of anybody. The earlier peolple understand this the better.

@ Lephillippe
So they've gone for another hunting? shocked :oThose boys are not human.They've gone for several Juju before they commenced these stupid fight. They will all dance the music when it will start.
Re: Are Militants Fighting For Development Of Niger Delta Or Themselves? by Wetin: 8:38am On Feb 21, 2007
They are real hunters. They've gone for Croatians.The earlier they stop that rubbish the better for them.Making their cool money and putting others into danger. cool cool

Fantastic news Guys cheesy

Militants blame N-Delta governors

By Jimitota Onoyume
Tuesday, February 20, 2007

PORT HARCOURT— MILITANTS in the Niger Delta have lashed at governors in the region for failing to provide what they dubbed credible political leadership to the area.


In a statement to the Vanguard yesterday, signed by Cynthia Whyte the militants who spoke under the aegis of Joint Revolutionary Council regretted a media statement on Asari Dokubo which was credited to governor James Ibori of Delta State.


Continuing, they said some of the governors were already being haunted by their failures in the region. And in a bid to escape arrest had chosen the path of blind loyalty. It reads in part, “we wish to condemn in all fullness, the recent statements attributed to the Governor of Delta State, James Ibori over the continued detention and unfair trial of Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, our esteemed and patriotic leader and flag-bearer of the Ijaw and Niger Delta struggle.


Ibori’s ranting is symbolic of Governors of the Niger Delta who have dubiously and satanically defrauded their various states of billions of naira without anything to show for it. It also goes a long way to show to all people of good sense, just how far the fear of EFCC has been sown into their minds.


“From fraudulent road construction contracts to vain water projects and gravely distorted gas turbine projects, these governors have squandered billions of naira and dollars that they cannot account for. To avoid justice, these governors believe that dumb allegiance to Abuja and stoogy loyalty will save them. They have failed.


“For too long now, majority of the governors of the key Niger Delta states have subjected the real governance of their states to their lords and evil masters in Abuja. These masters have in turn provided them cover for their corrupt and inept administration. “The illegal and criminal detention of Alhaji Dokubo-Asari remains the gravest mistake made by the ruling PDP government. In only a little while, we shall call to question the integrity and capability of the PDP in all our communities. Let them make no mistake."

Lephillipe, have you ever studied Nigerians, Nigerians are not violent, they are frustrated sure and there is poverty, a normal armed rubber's aim is not to kill his is to make off with you belongings, he cares less if you live or not, so not killing the hostages is not an argument, do you know that lots of young guys even those who are not from the so called south south are relocating in order to be part of the lucrative business, they are just selfish and greedy even some of then are not willing to see an end to this, but situation like this is really critical for obasanjo, who cant afford to give them what they are asking for and at the same time can't give room for a civil war because this guys are really ready for that, at the same time we cant tell the TOUBABS to leave the south south. with time we hope it will come to an end because this is shameful

If a kidnapper kills his hostage, he will not get any ransom. Do you understand this, or should I explain it in Yoruba?
Re: Are Militants Fighting For Development Of Niger Delta Or Themselves? by LePhilippe(m): 11:04pm On Feb 22, 2007
Please explain in Yoruba. Like you even speak the language!!!
