Mend Threatens To Bomb Eagle Square On Independence Day by smile4kenn(m): 2:10am On Sep 29, 2011
MEND threatens to bomb Eagle Square October 1


THE Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta has threatened to bomb Eagle Square, Abuja, on Independence Day.


In an e-mail statement by its spokesman, Jomo Gbomo, on Wednesday, MEND warned members of the public to stay away from Eagles Square and its surroundings.


The militant group explained in the statement that Nigerians had nothing to celebrate 51 years after independence.


It noted that the statement served as a first and final warning to the members of the public, maintaining that no additional warning would be issued.


“On October 1, 2011, The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta intends to place bombs within and in the immediate vicinity of Eagle square, venue of the proposed 2011 independence anniversary celebrations.


“After fifty one years of independence, Nigerians still have nothing to celebrate. The general public is strongly advised to consider this as a first and final warning.


“No additional warnings will be issued subsequent to deployment or detonation of these devices which will be novel in nature,” the three-paragraph statement read.


The militant group had claimed responsibility for the bomb attack that destroyed lives and property on October 1, 2010, during Nigeria’s 50th Independence anniversary celebration.


The incident led to the arrest and the ongoing prosecution of MEND’s leader, Henry Okah, in South Africa.

They are trying to gain attention, the camera has long shifted from them to Boko Haram, so they are trying to get the attention back to them. But it's only stupíd that some people gain pleasure causing violence. This is wat the goverment gets when they negotiate with terrorists. They shouldn't have negotiated with  Boko Haram,  because the aftermath would only be a morale booster to them and to militant groups. . .

O God, I don't understand again! Who is who? Boko-Haram, MEND, etc. Hope these people are not the same set of people that splits themselves up  across Nigeria. May God help us.

Accursed, i know u will never disappoint. Always living ur own life to your name. Until u can subtantiate at least minimally ur idiotic opinion about BOKOMEND, i will advise u to stop lying.
By the way, MEND has threatened just like they did last year. Its advisable to tell the RETARDEEN not to leave Aso villa ooo this time around and asked all Nigerians to stay indoors. The security Guys wont be able to protect any1 .

Re: Mend Threatens To Bomb Eagle Square On Independence Day by gentleoyink: 8:37am On Sep 29, 2011
A simple question- so some of you believe MEND has got nothing to do, except to wait for October first to bomb Eagle Square every year?

The people trying to rubbish GEJ's Govt using Boko Haram are still the ones trying to make him look stupid because of the statement he made last year.

The truth is, MEND (I mean the one that existed before Amnesty) did not bomb Eagle Square, the people who did it thought the name MEND was a good cover- but it did not work as planned so the had to use the name Boko H.

That was what we were told by the government and he has come out to deny such. For this he is still being tried in SA. Until this is substantiated, all options are still opened.

You can continue to pretend to think like a teenager when the hair in your arse is as thick as grass. All ND militants are abroad or fully employed, the only people bombing are aboki's, but fools like you are around to profit from blood and tell lies like its going out of fashion.

For those who do not know, one name has repeatedly been mentioned as trying to recruit thugs. It is general Ibrahim Babangida.
Re: Mend Threatens To Bomb Eagle Square On Independence Day by Demdem(m): 8:43am On Sep 29, 2011
A "criminous" organisation will always be "criminous" whether amnesty dey or not.
The president can infact be their spokesman, that still doesnt change the fact that they are still criminals.

I am tired of you people who claim to "have inside information", "know better than all of us", "have the required wisdom to run this country", "have unhindered access to the President" yet you fail to prevent innocent people from being killed for no good reason. Spare us the wisecracks and do what responsible governments in other parts of the world do- act more talk less.

grin grin grin u love using that word Arse. Does every1 has to know u are a gay Idiot Abegiii, chop ur tin from the pix below.
My position is the FG should simply av an open mind in their investigation. It could be anybody. Either ND MEND, BOKOMEND or even AFENIFEREMEND etc. Your decision to exclude one section as aginst the other because of ur hatred for them is simply horrible.

All ND militants are abroad or fully employed, the only people bombing are aboki's,

Ode, do u mean to say all or some. If all it means all the Warlords inclusive. As i was driving by this morning, one former useless warlord was chilling in front of his house drinking palmwine.

but fools like you are around to profit from blood and tell lies like its going out of fashion.

Accursed, all killings should be condemned by all. I never said such dont divert the topic as usual

What do you think about this then? The militants have complained over and over about IBB trying to recruit them to destabilise the govt. Any bombing you hear of is all from aboki through IBB and his fellows:

“We suspended our armed campaign for the independence of the Niger Delta when we discovered that General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and his co-travellers in the Northern Political Leaders Forum (NPLF) were attempting to fund hoodlums in our region to engage in terrorist activities aimed at painting a picture that the Niger Delta freedom fighters are against the Presidential ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan. We saw that the activities of criminal groups funded by the NPLF to oppose the Nigerian President would taint our genuine struggle for the independence of Niger Delta. However, we do not have anything against the Presidential ambition of President Goodluck Jonathan who happens to be from our region that has been politically marginalized under the heavy burden of internal colonialism.

Every Nigerian should know these things, but we hate reading.

My advice to everyone in Abuja is this:
If you treasure your life, stay indoors on the 1st of October.
