Now my question is this, how did the abductors take the SSG from Kaduna to Delta State with all the Police check points on the highway? Did they use a helicopter, train, boat, donkey, horse, or what?

A banking crisis entirely divorced from the global credit crunch.

Its was used with  a simile in a metaphoric kind of way

Yes indeed as in many of you NOT ALL are archaic and uncivilised in your mannerism with regards to politics and basic living among other who are not the same as you.

Groups like massob mend and their supporters are monkeys of indeed.  Dont you think the beating on the chest,alienating, painting faces, beheading fellow human beings instead of actual political work is monkey/animalistic behavior?
These groups are geurilla fighters, is that not similar to monkeys? the term guerilla war did not come out of thin air, it is used to describe fighters who are active in rugged terrain. FOLKS LIKE YOU WHO ARE THE SUPPORTERS ARE MONKEYS INDEED

no need to try and twist it as if i said ALL

hmm isn't Wole soyinka yoruba . . . . . ,   . .?

and aren't you same person that said yorubas have ruined Nigeria, they are tribalsit lazy and etc . . . . . ?
But when a yoruba man defends the ND hes no longer yoruba or does he all of a sudden have no ethnicitity/tribe?

please you continue to sound like an ass

my point is dont talk trash about yorubas and then praise a yoruba when its within your interest. its simply disgusting
thanks coon

Why is it not good?

Does anybody doubt anymore that if the oil were mined from the North, Nigeria would have been divided long time ago. In my humble opinion the only way to get the Sokoto Caliphet hands out of the cookie jar is to find oil in commercial quantity in the North. If that happen watch and see how the greedy North will sing a different tune in a New York minute. Remember all the resources the Federal government have poured into exploring oil from the North. The North rational is that if Chad and Ghana can now discover oil in their domain then there should oil in the North.

What the North is doing here is to exterminate the Delta and then take over. Unfortunately the Delta itself are not united in this fight and also there seem to be non coherent message coming out of Niger Delta. As long as the movement leaders continue to strike individual deals from the Federal Government their cause will continue to suffer, unfortunately it is the poor followers who are bearing the brunt of the Nigeria Forces.

I think the Igbos are very sympathetic with what is going on in the Delta because it will somehow spill into Igbo land. Unfortunately the Niger Deltan realized too late that their faith is interwoven with that of Igbo nation. Because the Igbos and Deltas are sibblings.

MEND dismisses FG’s amnesty
Latest News Sep 30, 2009 By Samuel Oyadongha

Yenagoa—The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) yesterday dismissed the Federal Government’s amnesty as lacking integrity, even as it nominated a team of mediators to negotiate with government over the disarmament programme.

According to the group, the team, including Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, and two retired senior military officials, had volunteered to act as mediators on its behalf.

“These eminent persons will be known as the Aaron Team and have our mandate to oversee a transparent and proper MEND disarmament process,” Jomo Gbomo, the group spokesman, said in an online statement.

According to him, “MEND disarmament process will only come after the root causes of militancy and agitation in the Niger Delta have been addressed by the Nigerian government.”

It accused the Federal Government of double standard, saying “the Nigerian government so far has not shown a willingness to dialogue, preferring instead to make wild unrealistic threats, purchase more useless military hardware, and dole out bribes to traitors to our noble cause, as had been obvious in its so-called disarmament process.”

Other members of the Aaron A team include Vice Admiral Okhai Mike Akhigbe (rtd), Major General Luke Kakadu Aprezi (rtd) , Dr. Sabella Ogbobode Abidde and Ms Annkio Briggs.

The hope for peace in the Niger Delta and Nigeria in general, the group said, now rests squarely on the shoulders of the Nigerian government.

I choose to disagree. Fine, Fashola is doing good. But Lagos is too enormous so the impact is barely felt.
Delta and Rivers on the other hand, much smaller, hence more impact.
Just a silly example: For instance in Warri, all trunk A roads are street lighted 12hrs non stop- All! Lagos cannot afford to do that!
Public transport system in Warri- Brand new Fully airconditioned Toyota Hiace buses- Lagos cannot afford that because of its size.

Indeed from thread to thread, to daily life. Imagine if Nigeria was to break up who is going defend these clowns?

It wouldnt be much different then now, the same refugees and folks seeking a better life will flock to the West of Nigeria.

Ignorance parade, . Bill gates never finished college, not to even reach law school. His SATs indicate genius level (like close to einstein) so no need for school, also while he was at Harvard he spent a significant amount of time with computers. Bill Gates is an unsuitable example for people who did not finish school and succeeded. Dell dropped out from Utexas at austin, though he was academically so a better example

As for Pat Utomi, I dont think he had any formal training in economics, like classical economics, Not sure what he studied though

Although Gates was interested in computers, he enrolled at Harvard University with the intention of becoming a lawyer like his father. By the time he was a sophomore in 1975, however, Gates was more interested in computers and electronics than in his pre-law studies.

He enrolled at Harvard University in the fall, originally thinking of a career in law. But his freshman year saw him spend more of his time in the computer lab than in class.

When Gates was found out, he was severely punished, and he kept away from computers for his entire junior year at Lakeside. Without the lure of computers, Gates made plans for college and law school in 1970. But by 1971 he was back helping Allen write a class scheduling program for their school's computer.
