Armaggedon:
yes they should control it immediately. ND avenger announce immediately after attacks and sometimes live in order to avoid such situations. Infact in sane societies attacks of this magnitude will make govt to halt crude production in the entire region indefinitely until a lasting solution is found. I know it sucks to learn that militants act more responsibly than ur govt. Thats where we found urselves

See reasoning?!

Bombing of pipeline instead of dialogue is responsible behavior?!

Una no go kill person, abeg!

Omeny:
Get out of my site my friend!

Your problem is HATE the earlier you purge yourself of it,the better for you!

If according to you, foreigners are in SW,then I beg you to take a visit to Abuja,Kano,Warri,Benin,Ph etc and see Yorubas in droves and other foreigners too,by then,your mindset will change!

I say this from experience! Show me a place where you don't have foreigners and I will show you the grave!

Omen, be happy! I'm not ur friend.

Omeny:
When you say sw, mention the exact place that pple are running to! Is it Osogbo,Ife,Ibadan,Akure,Sagamu,Abeokuta or where?
Is it not Lagos?
Our former capital city that was built with our common-wealth?
Abi you think your pple are the ones that built Fed schs,Luth,Air-port,Bridges,Barracks,Old ministries complexes,Sea ports etc!
My Brother? Your hate for foreigners into lagos never start,you and your likes go hate tire because more Citizens of Nigeria and beyond are on their way to lagos!

1. Calabar was once a federal capital! Go there too!

2. Mention one SW state capital that isn't filled with 'foreigners'?

3. I don't hate(not in ur face like 'foriegners'), I just want our hospitality to be reciprocated! The same way 'foreigners' claim son-of-d-soil in my lands, I want to be able to do same in their lands!

4. U 'foreigners' are making ur lands ungovernable and are running to mine and making my villages into towns! My family was looking for who to buy land at 10k/acre less than 10yrs ago they couldn't get, now they waiting for some 'foreigners' to outbid themselves!

Few from d SW will allow emotions get in d way of progress! Keep it real!

My broda it's easy 2 sit down in d comfort of ur haus & type crap. NA cannot survive out der in d creeks. We R tukin abt militants who basically posses skills like d US navy seals. Dis guys cme 4rm underwater & attack, dat guerilla warfare in d creeks. D navy shd hav bn d ones goin in but all military establishments are weak in dis country. U tink if d NA wer so strong dey wldnt hav done d work already. Nd btw d pple in d NA are nt like u described, dose ones are in d offices/classrooms because dey dint hav any godfada 2 put dem into d army dey so luvd. Wake up son, shits real, u'll hear scores very soon. D problem wit d militants is dat wen u shoot dem, dey Dnt die, dey've sold deir soul 2 d marine goddess dt protected deir forefathers & deir lands. D pple I pity are d SS/SE soldiers dat will be drafted in deir majority 4 dis war. Hausa soldiers wnt be sent 2 d creeks. Watch & see

Oga, u don watch too many movies abeg! The last time d army went into d creeks, all d militants jumped at amnesty!

An army is trained to fight and die fighting! D militants are after resource control and freedom fighting. Even BH that is ppled with illiterate suicide bombers are being decimated, not to talk of militants who value their lives! What u don't seem to get is, d army is gonna win this in d long run; d militants have a limited supply of men , and even they can't do any production during conflict, whereas d army has all d time in d world to wait them out!

I was more afraid of BH than some civilised militants, who are even trying to spare innocent lives??! Guerrilla warfare is outdated, drones are d in-thing nowadays and sooner or later d army will tap into it! The worst case scenario is, nobody gets to drill for oil in d ND again!

mamabomboy:
A land army with no amphibian training is sent to combat different guerilla ghostmode sects. The answer is simple, the NA will be decimated and butchered like cattle. I just wish the clowns on NL supporting the army's suicidal mission would be drafted by the army. That would be poetic justice.

I hope u realise; armies are trained to kill? And, should they not have any militant/s in their target, they'll resort to killing d innocents! And, with d recent retrenchment in d army, possible/compromised saboteurs from within are being let go. The typical soldier is trained to die fighting, so, only suicidal individuals/risk takers generally join d army in d 1st place!

BiafranJesus:
Yoruba are scared.

Scared bi ti ba wo? That's d only stable place in d whole of Naija, presently! Though, we're hungry, we're yet to resort to violence and economic sabotage to pass any message across! Everybody, seems to be heading to d SW presently!

yes, you may say that.. but real women wont settle down being dependent on men's wealth..

tunjilana:
I think men of this generation really have a lot of work to do in preparing our daughters for genuine partnership with their men the 21st century way...So many appalling thought pattern.

Everyone should get into a union with the basic understanding that if they are gonna make babies and raise a home, they have to both work hard towards ensuring the kids have the best. And yes it is a two people thing (finance inclusive). How does a woman say a man has no right to ask how and to what degree she's gonna contribute to the family they are about to start...even terming that gold-digging !...

With all it takes to put a single child ahead these days!....You wan born am for better country, you wan send am go schools wey get class, you wan dey carry go vacation at will, you wan raise them for the best neighborhoods yet as a woman you feel all you have to do is lay down, make babies and watch all your dreams come true!...

My honest advise to every young lady out there, including my relatives and daughter....Before you get married, envision the kinda life you want for your kids, ensure you are empowered enough to make 30 - 40 percent of such a dream come true or you are on a sure path to such an empowerment that can make it possible for you to provide up to 30-40 percent support towards the realization of such dream. Then find a man who is 60-70 percent prepared and want same things.

That way, you both achieve your dreams and the man still sees you as a strong pillar of support without whose input he would have raised a mediocre family!!!...And not some liability he had to cope with all his life

Well written! They need to wake up to d fact that, not every man is going to end up a millionaire!

Even though you know it wrong.. You can't take you eyes off the oil.... Believe me what you are feeling is even stronger in Buhari remember 2 months ago he said I will crush NDA like I crushed bh and one month ago the military said they will be no negotiations with NDA but many #BOOM later Buhari is singing a new song looking to implement yar adua agreement and negotiate with NDA(my guys) remember Britain and USA have washed their hands clean of any military action against the NDA and asked your hero to talk with the strong niggas....unlike 1966 when they askd and armed Nigeria to fight biafra...
The only thing you are waiting for is the hunger and disorganization that will hit Nigeria by August when the effect of the booms will take a strong hold on you reality...then you will beg the real lords and owners of Nigeria. Brace ur self cos the ride is about to get rough for a change must manifest. FREEDOM IS A GOD GIVEN RIGHT.

Hmmm... There is a saying in yoruba; even if u pound yam in a leaf and dish soup in groundnut shells, some will still be satiated!

calaway:
But you are not happy either. Anything that is not right will give way when the right show it self. Plundering of resources, Just like mtn browsing cheats it will come to an end when the owner becomes alive to his responsibility .

Being right is relative. Most times, in all relationships, u av to abandon ur 'right' position for peace to reign. I'm definitely not happy, I've got kids to think of, yet ....

I've always hated cheats, they generally pack-up when u need them most. Also, life is too short and hard to spend any part of it in prolonged conflict/s.

Their weapons will neva be enough against a determined Nigeria. What they're relying on right now are stored stocks, what happens when they start running out? U can ask BH. Whatever battle that comes up, will be localized. A whole region would be devastated by war, and like biafra, they'll feel 2nd class for a long time to come.

If u've noticed, d govt isn't panicking, yet. They seem to be taking their time to organize. The creeks are too quiet for a country loosing its major source of income. Apart from a few military buffoons(5 NDA arrested), d message from d military has been subdued. Something is up, and I'm waiting for it to play out!

it is the same ignorance that caused him to refer to the oil producing SE/SS as 5%, the same ignorance causing him to ignore SE in his appointments and the same ignorance that has occasioned the impending red economy.
Lesson here is, the IGNORANT must never be in leadership positions.
The land in contention belongs to SE/SS and the have every right to claim their birth rtight and GOD will help them out of the many years of rape and cheating this has nothing to do with syria...only one day is required for truth to upturn 1000 years of lies and injustice.... BEG the SS/SE don't threaten them .. the feed YOU...

Guy, u don't always get what u want! GEJ's govt was d best time to break away, dat govt was incredible accommodating. But, they were all feeding so fat they forgot their birthright.

Well, PMB's govt is d last govt to give in to any sort of ....

Life has a way of smirking at human efforts, sic PMB's govt want to make a change, but no funds to finance it; IPOB/NDA want independence, which is practically unacceptable under a PMB lead govt; GEJ's govt was spendthrift, yet d funds didn't dry up, and when it dried up, he lost re-election gallantly! The country will rather end up ungovernable than be splitted, under PMB!

When it doesn't rain heavily, I get a minimum of 12hrs/day. So far its been available since yesternite, I can always transfer u some? Somewhere around Dutse Alhaji in Abj.

calaway:
are you talking for govt Now. Buhari said they will be crushed like boko haram and the army said there will be no negotiation with avengers calling them terrorist. is it that the govt has made u turn? they are asking for Justice and total resource control is the government readyt to comply?

I read d same news u do and more, yet we arrive at different conclusions!

Everyone makes mistakes, d better man his d one who can admit his mistakes and reform!

He spoke from ignorance and his still acting from ignorance(more troops are still being deployed), yet various members of his govt have called for discourse! Right now resource control is not part of d Nigerian lexicon, its gonna take patience. D NDA might be successful for some time, but a time is coming when d govt will have d upper hand. There are always consequences, u can ask Syria(Assad(minority tribe) has refused to relinquish his hold on power, making d whole country ungovernable).

Yeah, I do get your point, I ain't judging them, hell when I was in school I had 1 or 2 as friends, there's 1 that gists me about her escapades, and even shows me her designers wears et al., after a good trip., Its her choice, but it ain't really the best of choices though, for 1, its a path that is riddled with disaster and may likely not end well. Well, if one is making a choice that will have a negative consequence on his/her person, people he/she does the business with or the society, the least we could do is to ask the person to reconsider, keeping silent or neutral may be taken as consent.

P.S.
I did take your path of neutrality with my runs girls friends back then, maybe because I was younger, without any idea of the way of the world, they were big girls and I did enjoy their company, hell my opinion wouldn't have mattered to them anyway, I was just a youngster. But am wiser now, if I have anyone around doing the deed, I'll definitely voice out my disapproval and tell them that they can do better without trying to sit on a high horse or being judgemental. Its the right thing to do..

Happy Sunday to you too!!

Well, unless u plan on sponsoring her education, finances or whatever made 'runs' attractive to her, it would be better to remain ur youngster self! Don't condemn or dissuade when/if u don't av an alternative path.

why is the FG not prepared to make it easy on citizens and it self buy just granting the agitators the justice the seek. it can be very simple you know. greed in a mix with a deep desire to cheat and dominate can really bring out the beast in some people. without justice there is no peace

The govt is ready to negotiate their terms, just not d secession agenda! Over a million Nigerians where killed d last time secession was attempted. Instead let them drop militancy and instead encourage investments and u will see if they won't surpass Lagos!

What I find funny is the uncoordinated lies - he says the government needs NASS approval to spend recovered loots even though the NASS has approved spending of N6 trillion which government officials are running helter skelter to finance. Adeosun noted recently that implementation of the budget is not a given due to lack of money: http://punchng.com/cant-guarantee-full-budget-implementation-finance-minister/

But passingshot also says the government may want to spend the money outside of the budget! So the government is not sure it can fund its budget approved by NASS, but it may look to spend money in ways not yet approved by NASS using money for which it needs NASS approval to spend - I have never seen such disoriented and harebrained attempts at propaganda as you see in Naija politics.

If u don't get high finance, then keep ur peace. Till now I don't know why d US continues to give aids to 3rd world country, yet it has a deficit of arnd 50%?!

What I do know is, d govt has told NASS how it hopes to source funds, legally, if its going to change d source, then it still needs NASS approval! Dazzol!

calaway:
you are living in a dream world.....without SS/SE there is no Nigeria..by August you will understand what it means to loose oil income. SEE YOU IN AUGUST. yes there is oil in lagos and chad basin and the IGR from lagos is enough to share with all the northern states.
BYEBYE.

Goes to show ur limited thinking! When d desirable is not available, ... Since Naija refused to diversify peacefully, diversification shall be forced upon it!

great664:
Una nor dey tire or ashamed of this blame game? Did GEJ met the country in good shape? Did he complained ? They voted you to perform/work not complained about the past..

This thing is tired some..... GEJ Agricultural reform was seen and felt by everyone ,Nigeria was able to boast of Pyamids of food like in the 60's.

Even Dangote built a Tomatoes processing plant because he saw the wastage last 2years courtesy of GEJ, where are they today? Nigeria na import tomatoes that was wasting past year....is GEJ to blame too? The farmers who are beneficiaries ?95% Northerners) are already feeling it, here you are blaming GEJ... Check how he fight the cabals and corruption on agricultural sector that boost the farmers without arresting, jailing or defamating anyone....

Just a clue: The norm has been giving fund to minister of agriculture who in turn buy seeds and fertilizer for farmers (In Nigeria hope you know the norm)

How he fight the corruption: The farmers registered with their finger print and you can't register twice, funds was disbursed directly to their personal account to buy seeds and fertilizer themselves, no more dash as usual or nepotism in sharing seeds as usual or using 10% of the funds and share the rest among chieftains....

That's 21st century ways of fighting corruption.. Not arresting, jailing and wasting tax payers money on court cases.... Wise up Man

Funny u! What 21st century way of fighting corruption? Cant blame u sha, in this new age, anything can be explained away if u can think hard enough! Of all d available ministries, na only agric u see? Tomatoes av been wasting forever, incase u no know and d present scarcity is due to a disease that affected most of d northern crops.

How do u dissuade thieves without corporal punishment? How many born again thieves av u heard of? How come 23000 ghost workers were still available inspite of d technology used in paying salaries?

This is why most relationships fail, a little hard time n u start missing ur ex instead of contributing ur quota to strengthen d relationship! We are all agreed that most of PMB's steps were initiated by GEJ, who made all d plans, but lacked d political will to implement them. PMB isnt doing anything new, so why is he receiving so much flak? U think he should allow those who av been feeding fat on our commonwealth to get away?

freeze001:
I think it is rather uncharitable for the writer to attempt to preempt the Southern Governors and leaders by saying they are going to defend the actions of the NDA.

Secondly, it takes a fairly obtuse person to lump the NDA with the boko haram and fulani herdsmen. One stark contrast is that the later two are murderers pure and simple. Every action they take is geared towards massive human casualty. Again, they have no identifiable cause other than greed and tribal/religious supremacy agenda which informs their modus operandi of killing the 'infidels' according to their kouran and doing so in the name of Allah (boko haram). For the herdsmen, they simply have a bad sense of entitlement hence the audacity with which they sack and take over communities, not without massive murder and pillaging.

The NDA however are fighting for the soul and ownership of what is theirs and it is easy to see why unless a person is just plain daft and greedy. Nigerian leadership has proved itself as incapable of being reasoned with. Dialogue has been tried and engaged in over the issue of resource control and system of governance but always remains dead because some in power particularly the North do not want it. Having systematically empowered themselves with unfair majority representation at every level of government including the legislature, they make it clear that it is their way or no way!

The most recent and inclusive effort to address these issues, the CONFAB has been relegated by the same North. History tells everyone what happened to Ken Saro Wiwa again at the hand of a Northerner.

Now, there is no one that knows or feels the effects of environmental degradation more than the Niger Delta indigenes. However, because the Nigerian govt is determined to feed off the South without commensurate recompense, the freedom fighters know to strike at the jugular which is crude oil. Rather than see economic sabotage which is the outcome of their actions, I see a people pushed to the wall, damned tired of being told they count for nothing because of the 'almighty North' and to crown it all, majority of stakeholders in the ownership of resources in the ND come from the same north.

The FG controlled by the North during the military era, by fiat packaged as a Constitution today commandeered the resources if the South as belonging to the FG. Fairness and equity should have seen the same happen to solid minerals scattered over the North and major agricultural resources should have also been controlled by the FG but no, just the South simply because it's easy money.

Now there are rumbles, rather than give due regard n respect to a region, the FG once again run by the north has chosen to play the role of bully by unleashing military action. Same response that boils down to killing innocent people because they're never precise enough to actually gather intelligence, identify and fish out their targets.

The Nigerian government must learn to accord respect to each region in its own right and not by the number of votes cast in support of any govt in power. See the passion with which a whole President defends his kinsmen by saying no one should think of driving 'us' out because he is one of them but makes no attempt to understand the cause of the Niger Delta. Let me not even talk of IPOB and the right to self-determination now. So remind me again why unity is a do or die affair in Nigeria? How exactly is Nigeria one other than having no other country bearing the same name?

Its either u're delusional or u're actually daft n greedy!

This govt is supposed to start cleaning of d delta region in june; they plan on running a rail track thru it; u've had 13% derivation for ever; d last govt gave unlimited access to funds n power, to d militants\criminals, yet they couldnt achieve any tangible development.

And, u are here writing ....., from an illiterate perspective?! Before oil, the FG was surviving, and if oil should decimate, FG will still get by! Get real abeg!

I am just coming from the petrol station where I bought N4,000 worth of petrol and my gauge didn't even get to the half marker point

I used to be able to fill up for between 4k - 4.8k when my fuel warning light starts showing.

Would probably need like 8k now to fill up.

This is no laughing matter.

Bro, no be laughing matter at all! Same here, mine was even at nnpc mega in katempe(abj), normally d indicator will be after d full mark, yesterday, i was practically pleading with it to go after d half tank mark at 143\litre? Generally, it used to be enough for 3-4days, as it is, i have to go back today or tomorrow mrn!

to fight a war you must first identify your enemy

an enemy that has thousands of km of pipeline which he can puncture at any point they lije

He doesnt mind them puncturing! Infact, he agrees they will puncture, but he his confident he will get them! The difference btw NDA n BH- BH is ready to die for his cause, can d same be said of NDA? I fear for d innocent lives that will be lost in d search for those faces! For as long as NDA has a digital footprint, they will be caught! They enjoying boasting of their exploits, which will be their undoing.

PMB is ready for a long battle!

He has no choice than to negotiate with these terrorist or give them the pipeline security contract as long as it will return us back to our 2.2milion barrels per day
Failure to do this is going to be a disaster because i dont think army will be able to monitor all the pipelines in N/D

From PMB's statement, "eventually" should be d key word! He really doesnt care about the losses! He's ready to put d oil income on hold, to first secure then ....

ND is going to be a war zone, if NDA doesnt rethink. And this time around, no sacred cows!

Ecce 1:13-14
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith. 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
