Just saw this on Channels' TV Breaking News that the Bayelsa Deputy Gov Father has just been Abducted

if these kidnappers will concentrate on kidnapping members of our politicians' families, it will be a welcomed idea by me.
let the politicians continue with their economic kidnaps while the masses continue with their family members kidnaps.
since they have decided the make the masses restless, let us design our own ways of making them restless too because there must be a reward for every work.
let us make arrangements to kidnap yar adua's mother and give him 3 months to fix electricity or have his mother,
if this kidnap is well designed, it can be an effective way of communicating with our leaders and it will be "a made in nigeria product" of which no one will tag it a contra-banned good.
if anyone knows the kidnappers here, tell them that as soon as they kidnap his mother, they will tell him 3 months to fix electricity or resign to have ur mother released.
it is obvious that protest does not work in nigeria so kidnap will definitely work.

A criminal is a criminal. I will never support a criminal for 'political' reasons or otherwise.

A criminal is a criminal but we cannot turn our eyes to the criminilaity of our politicians who went into alliance with these "kidnappers" only not to pay them their dues.It is easy to admonish the palestinians for promoting suicide bombing and yet keep quiet when the Isrealites bomb them.Both acts are illegal.Mr.Deputy Governor go and pay up.Next time you won't pally with thugs!

Trust you to say something like that.

Seriously though, they should stop kidnapping elderly family members. I mean, what if the ole dude has a [heart] attack in captivity?

That should make the Dep. gov. feel the pinch the more. Have you ever wondered how many people, poor & rich (yes rich) die daily, per second per second due to the kleptomania that we all respect and praise among ourselves.

yo chris, as much as i hate to say it, i truly agree with you.

What the, ?

I read The Punch yesterday and I wa amazed at what I saw! The leader of MEND is a UNICAL graduate! They even have Master's Degree holders there (in their creeks). These guys speak Queen's english. They pay as much as N20,000 to the least paid person. These guys possess the lastet speed boats as expensives as N5,000,000 each and the less expensive is N3,000,000.

This is a means of living for them and I bet u even if there is massive development in the Niger delta, these kidnappings will still continue. It is in their blood. It is quick money. All thanks to the economic situation of the country. And they know who to target, not me and u, bt doze who dey can make good money frm. Its really sad that we Nigerians can be the cause of our own problems!!!

To hell with the Nigerian Politicians and the Federal Governmnent.At 45 they are still confused.The kiddnapping will continue until they look at the sufferings of the common man in Nigeria as being important. Selfish government. Rubbish

With the daring way these guys are executing these kidnappings, they will one day kidnap a governor in broad day light!

Niger Delta Abduction again! Nawa o .It's fast becoming a tradition

@chidiChris

For once, I have to say I agree with your position on this. Since the bulk of
our leaders don't believe in providing peace and security for the governed
by using the allocated resources where meant, they too should not have any.

Unfortunately, these things have a way of getting out of hand fast as the
Niger Delta militants or criminals have shown. We will continue to see ugly
developments like this until the region is developed. Its as simple as that.

Boys are hell-bent on getting rich or die tryin

The PM News story abt the abduction here http://www.thenewsng.com/modules/zmagazine/article.php?articleid=21119

why wud the sins of the sons be visited on the fathers
is it that they find it difficult to get BIG MAN himself or that they are incompetent

whatever suits then jare,wetin concern moi

Only yesterday, the deputy guvnor celebrated his wife's birthday in Abuja in a very grand style.

wat of His dad?



Has he been released?

When will they go after the BIGBOYS like IBB, Muhammad?

Even though I do not welcome this criminal tactics, but the leaders that squander our oil revenue in the last twenty years should be called upon to explain what they did with all the revenue.

IBB's father is probably dead already so they are unable to kidnap him
and vandalizing the graveyard and gathering his bones may do the kidnappers no good,the family may not be too keen on recovering their fathers tibia and fibula
Is ObJ's father still alive?

I no go die for nairaland.

chidi you no well

i support him

As much as i don't want to agree with chidi, he has a point, the only bad thing about this is that this thing can spin out of hand like Colombia. Remember when the FBI, DEA (who knows, probably the CIA was involved) and the entire country of colombia were trying to kill Pablo Escobar and destroy his Medellin drug cartel. As a result of this, you had vigilante groups kidnapping and target Escobar's family. What happened after Escobar was killed is that this paramillitary groups (a faction of the army) and this vigilante groups now took over and run the drug business now (see FARC).
What i am trying to say about this kidnappings is that, it might not be you now but in the future, this area boys would decide to quit yahoo which is a high risk low guarantee reward and start kidnapping people. Then Nigeria becomes South America where 1 person is kidnapped every 5 minutes (i think). In colombia in 2002, 8 people a day were kidnapped.

Its a pity, the politicians should stop talking and start doing more in terms of infrastructural development of their various communities.

I support what this boys are doing taking their destiny in their hands,
what the citizens of niger-delta are going through is nothing but hell on earth,
and billions of naira are made daily from this same region.

I dont if they even have to kidnap the governor himself to gain attention.
Go on boys we are behind you.

well nairalanders i dont know if u guys are sensing what is coming,, imagine the deputy governors father kidnapped.
i for see a revolution. our political leaders are joking withn the peace of nigeria.

Who gives a damn?
