~~~@Beaf, it so pathetic that you are basing your judgement on those figures, i am a rivers man by birth, born and grew up in diobu, Azikiwe st, to be precise, i know the number of port harcourt boys and girls that bought more than 3 JAMB forms each just to be able to cheat during the exams, thats just what those no. you posted means, I wont say much on this but if you really want to know how bad you guys are not just academically but generally in life then contact me on deyou1400@yahoo.com: ND youths need to wake up from their slumber, enough of all these touts called militants proclaiming themselves as their pple saviours~~~

~~~Yes, yes, and more yes, Ijaws in the west have been fighting with everybody, Itsekiris, Urhobos, Igbos, Yorubas, Edos.
If it's a good and justifiable fight, I don't think you'll be lying about it.

Ibime: No, you are the only Nigerian who has heard of Ijaw-Urhobo conflict. Perhaps it is a spiritual war that you witnessed in your dream.

The one we know is Ijaw-Itsekiri.

naijaKing1: Why are you so confused?
We're not talking about 1700, or 1800s, we're talking about 1914 after Nigeria was amalgamated, and many tribes were forced into the NIgerian experiment.
We're not talking about selling slaves to the white people for cash, we're talking about generating revenue after slave trade has ended.
You have to keep your historical perspective correct.

naijaKing1: The Ijaw people that fight with Urhobo people in Warri is different from the Ijaw people that fight with Igbos in PH. Fact!
They were seperate and even hostile to each other before all these oil brouhaha.

U can do better than that . trumped charges my ass - she confessed that she was drug runing and got pregant to to escape the death penalty.

Ibime:
~~~I am glad you mention Fashola cos Fash is a man after my heart. . . . an irredeemable federalist who has always fought for power devolvement for local people, and no doubt, if Fashola was made President today with all the requisite powers, he would instantly implement the Federalism and Resource control that some of his lobotomised followers like yourself rail against.

tpia: am I seeing double or isnt Delta State topping this list here.

@ OP- are you sure you're coherent? Abi there's another state with the initials DEL in Nigeria.

babapupa:
One more time, that's your useless and incompetent leaders responsibility, that's what the monthly statutory allocations and all the extra jara are for.

You have state and local leaders for a reason. Why don't you just ask the feds to declare Marshall Law in the delta and institute direct rule and governance, obviously, your people can't get the job done. The only tin the heartless ass holes sabi do na to blow up innocent people and steal money.

JomoGbomo2:
we have been allowing criminals to parade themselves as militants and i think its time we eradicate them, cos if u nogiate with them we will be setting precedence.i also subscribe to using covert military operations to wipe these crimals out.

This militants are something else, even if the FG give all the oil blocks to them they will still be carrying guns then that they abadoned them cos they wont know what to do.

I went to warri recently couple of weeks back, i made a pathetic observation, pls anyone in the house shld pls correct me. "the numbers of hotels in warri are far more than the numbers of schools in warri"

The question that came to my mind is that, these militants can build hotels for themselves but waiting for the FG to come and build schools, the truth is that they still wont go. pls FG should go and build the new proposed Oil & Gas University in OGUN state abeg for those that want to

Actually the military option has not even been implemented.
Clearly since the advent of the fourth republic there has been a conscious effort of the society to find a lasting political/diplomatic solution to the niger delta question.  These have not really yielded much fruit. What we are seeing is just more and more escalation in attacks and demands from militant groups in the niger delta.

Eventually a military solution would be inevitable, which would have serious consequences for the militants given the nature of the terrain and the consequent difficulty/impossibility of building fortifications. I mean how do they hope to withstand an attack launched against them using squadrons of helicopter gunships and attack helicopters, naval blockade, and follow-up assaults by special police and infantry units, such an attack being sustained over a 1 month period?

Trust me that this attack would be implemented before there is even any consideration of the issue by any supranational body like the UN or even any kangaroo international court.

I guess this is why the more prudent of the militants have decided to cut their losses and head to Abuja or even evacuate to the West.

babapupa:
Just open your mouth, shandy dey come. Mend and your jaguda leaders go deliver your dues just like they've been doing.

I see you Ignored the Lasepa links and side stepped the fact that it's your leaders responsibility to enact and enforce environmental laws.

You're picking gaping holes alright?

The controversy surrounding the exclusion of payment of royalties to oil-producing communities in the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is about to be resolved.
The original bill gave five per cent of the royalties to the community and 25 per cent to the states where the oil is produced.
It was, however, withdrawn and a second bill was introduced in which the host communities would not be entitled to any interest if passed.
This, along with the reported relocation of the Petroleum University from Effurun, Delta State, to Kaduna, had incurred the wrath of South-south governors who subsequently threatened to pull out of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s amnesty deal for Niger Delta militants.
It emerged yesterday that the Federal Government might have bowed to pressure by oil companies as well as leaders of the Niger Delta region to incorporate payment of royalties to the communities in the bill. . .

oshkosh:
This problem requires a military solution.

The military and security services should do the job the're there to do (besides planning coups off course). Occupy the delta region permanently and deploy all the SSS, DMI etc to the region.
