what i don't understand in your post is, did you mean  Boko Haramees are better than Mend or what ?? Mend are far better than Boko haramees, they are kidnapping not taking human shelter, If boko haramees are true born of their fathers let them have a base like mend, let them have a uniform and distinguish themselves from civilian. Let them come out koro koro like Mend. The useless organisation are taking shelter with civilian and carry out their atrocities. If they want to win my support let them unveil their bases. I'm optimistic our brutal armies will lynch them in a night. But now look at the civilian casualities they'r coursing, with a wide merging you can't call haramees warriors and call MEND cowards,unless you are a hypocrite.

One Solid bear Hug for you . . . . .

@ OP, what is the motive of your thread . . .so this carnage is giving you pleasures and you are praying for more right . .because you feel you are far away from the troubled zones,thus feeling insulated from whatever mayhem that is brewing and might brew    . . . Guy, make you pack your kini well jare . . .or else you wan castrate  .

MEND is under no obligation to ramp up their activities just because Boko Haram is. This is pretty silly reasoning, dude.

Pepsi may respond to a new soft drink introduction from Coke but it would be foolish for ExxonMobil to respond to such initiatives.

Katsumoto:

Are you suggesting that MEND should engage Boko Haram or that MEND should go into competition with Boko Haram to ascertain who is more adept at destruction? At the end of the day, they are two different organizations with different objectives and consequently will have different strategy.

o.p, i honestly dont get you. you want MEND to travel all the from the Niger Delta to engage Boko Haram? to what purpose if i may ask?
FYI, MEND stands for Movement for the Emancipation Niger Delta.
anything outside the Niger Delta should be no concern of theirs. That's why they were heavily criticised when they bombed Lagos.

@OP And your sick followers;
Sometimes, its not that hard to tell some posts on this forum were actually made by humans without their heads intact, or wld a normal human be calling for more carnage with the daily needless bloodletting that's already on? Does this look like a competition to u? Are u guys so dumb u cant understand that its humans like u that r loosing their lives daily? If u guys r so bloodthirsty why not dig your fangs into your mothers and fathers and have your fill? Nonsese.

What I was attempting to do in the post was to open the yansh of MEND’s, the same way I open yours, FACE’s,  and other intellectuals who come here and attempt to rewrite history.
If MEND is serious about the emancipation of ND, is this not the right time for them to squeeze the government, now that Boko haram has the gov’t on the ropes?  Instead of putting the squeeze on the government when the government would rather not deal with additional problems, they’ve remained completely silent. In the meantime our people in the ND remain poor and marginalized, our land remains polluted, and our youths remain unemployed. No one is saying that MEND should use the same strategy as Boko Haram.

ndu_chucks:

What kind of an opprobrious post is this? Where in my post did I suggest that MEND is under any obligation to ramp of their activities just because Boko Haram is? Did you read the post at all?

There r better ways to convey a message than by sounding ridiculously callous. See how many followers u've made that barely understood what u meant! Any surprise that boko haram are bombing everything on site in the name of followership?
Concerning MEND, I think they've moved on. A couple of months ago I was about submitting a bid for a contract in one of the oil majors when a friend in their employ called me out and advised me to consider bidding for something else as i stood absolutely no chance, i asked him why and his answer was straight 4word; Tompolo had also submitted a bid!
These guys have been empowered and IMO have achieved something laudable, gone r the days when people in the delta were scorned at when they submitted bids, now they r a force to be respected and a number of them have legions of welders and other artisans under their employment. Some still obtain contracts and sell off, but all in all, its more of a plus than a minus considering these were contracts usually handed out to complete strangers in the past. So tell me, na who go throw the bombs?

@Alh-Harem, MEND is much worse that hypocrites. That organization is nothing but thieves, oil bunkerers, kidnappers, and murderers of innocent Nigerians. If they were serious about the emancipation of Niger Delta, they would have stepped up their game, given the government's current predicaments.

Your own personal experience supports my initial post. The leaders of MEND like Tompolo do not really care about the emancipation of our people in ND, but about emancipating themselves from poverty. Go to Ogoni land today and you’ll still find fellow Nigerians living like animals – this is a disgrace to all Nigerians.  Your initial response to my post was imbalanced, I’m sorry to say, because of your prejudice against Northerners.  Calm down, reread my initial post, then read your response and you’ll quickly discover that you owe me an apology.  Since I’m anticipating that no apology would be forthcoming, I’ll simply call you olodo, in advance and issue a subsequent apology if I'm wrong.

Perhaps u're grossly uninformed or simply just a terrible analyst. MEND as we came to know it was brought together and given political teeth by -as we came to understand- Henry Orkar aka Jomo Gbomo, initially it was nothing but a bunch of home grown freedom fighters, cult and gang leaders and criminals operating independently with differing goals in the ND. While a number of them were genuinely interested in the well being of ND's, others were simply in it for the reward. Over time, a number of the genuine fighters realized they were only being used by Orkar and with their lives and the lives of members of their communities on the line, they reached a settlement that resulted in the training and empowerment of thousands of villagers who hitherto were rotting away in the creeks, earned the respect of oil companies that now GENUINELY view communities as stakeholders and automatically reduced Jomo Gbomo to throwing bombs in Abuja. Now depending on how u choose to look at it, this is a good deal of success for a ragtag army of village boys that had no 'Somali' training. You can sit there and call them names but it wasnt your neck that was on the line was it? and it wasnt your village and her defenceless inhabitants that were being destroyed were they? So how dare u? There was only so much these guys cld achieve and they did ok.
My friend, i have nothing against the North and i dont know what part of my comments so deceived you. BTW, you seem to pride yourself in your intelligence but so far there's yet to be a whisk of that coming from u on this thread so pls try n stay focused.

I've always believed that MEND is an terrorist organization made up of criminal gangs financed by politicians for financial gains. Their calls for self determination of the ND people is nothing but a ruse. They kidnap and bomb innocent citizens, blow up oil installations and pipelines to facilitate their bunkering and criminal activities.

At the end of the day, the region remains as polluted as ever, the people remain poorer than church rats.

Boko haram is now throwing bombs on a daily basis and has the government on the ropes. One would think that, this would be the best time for MEND to escalate its activities and demands for justice and their own 'nation'. But guess what, MEND has never been about the self determination of the ND people. The thieves and thugs who are members of MEND benefit from the status quo. This is the reason why their sponsors, the thieving politicians and bunkerers have told them to return to their rat holes and remain silent. Since Boko Haram stepped up their game, there has been No bomb threats, no bombing, no kidnapping, no blowing up of major oil facilities e.t.c. by MEND

To all members of MEND, I say you have been exposed as common criminals and terrorists. Shame on you people.

^^^ Since u pride yourself in opening of yansh its safe to assume u r one helluva yansh licker aight?

BTW I read your post again as u recommended and your frustration seems to be pretty much obvious - A sadistic Biafra hopeful desperately praying for conflict in all regions of the country regardless of the cost to human lives or property all in the hope that the country disintegrates and you have your personal thieving Republic abi? Not a chance, if u want independence, Fight for it abi u dey fear starvation? Who do u expect to do your dirty work for u? Frigging coward, once beaten 4 DECADES SHY! Now which person nyash done open?
