When last year president Umaru Musa Yar Adua announced an Amnesty package for repentant Militants, it was with gladness that Nigerians and all peace loving people of the Niger Delta region welcomed the pronouncement.
No sooner was the announcement made, then things went haywire, and from all indication, the amnesty program has totally failed to deliver on its promises of developing the Niger Delta region and rehabilitation repentant militants.
The dire implication of Government insensitivity to the plight of the region, may result in a huge outcry if not properly checked.
Another implication of allowing the Amnesty program to fail, is that the repentant militant may out of frustration and anger go back to the creek and their action could better be imagined.
It is time for action and not rethorics, as the impoverished people of Niger Delta are sick of hearing grammar and no action.
President Goodluck Jonathan should please revive the amnesty program and help nip the brewing agitation in the bud.
The entire world is watching!

the program was never designed to succeed in the first place.

@poster Nigerians didn't receive the amnesty announcement with gladness or enthusiasm they were skeptical and majority of us didn't give it a chance even b4 takeoff a lot of editorials analysed why and how d amnesty wld fail no one even gave it a chance of survival yet d govt went ahead and we achieved what we have so far. The govt is ontop of d prog u hav nothing to fear just keep prayin, the masterplan 4 d ND already exists funding is being provided d ex militants are still bein rehabilitated, let's just pray for success because Yaradua always says "we can't afford to fail now" that is as a nation we can't pay d price of failure.
Mbulela y wld u say somthin lik dat, don't worry God is on our case nd pple lik u wld be disapointed further

Stop insulting God.I beg you.
Tell you looters called leaders to disappoint me.
That will make my day.
Why will the amnesty program succeed?
Have you ever heard of a scenario where you grant amnesty to criminals?
This thing was just a project designed to scam the public and share money between the looters in power and the criminals from the Niger Delta.
The painful thing is that the ND problem remains unattended.The so called militants have a singular ideology,called money.
They are not fighting for the interest of the people of the geo political zone.
They are no different from the political elite.The only difference is the methodology.

@mbulela ok.
