I am not Kogi state governor who is owing salaries but can afford to guarantee loans of over 35 million naira (35,000,000) per person for functionaries whose salaries are a minute fraction of the said loan, to purchase cars.

I am not the Delta state government that is still dishing milions to unecessary staff while essential staff are being owed backlog of salaries.

I am not the sports minister who was ready to leave Amassadors of our nation stranded in a foreign land, few hours to their engagement somewhere else, only to continue with the embarassment of unpaid bills.

I am not a Senator, or HOR member who insists on still earning the highest salaries in the world, in a third world country undergoing a recession without even as much as a succesful bill to show for it.

I am not the President who after expressing disgust at the substantial number of aircraft on the Presidential fleet, still maintains them to this day. A President who has been silent in all the secret recruitments that have happened under his watch, some of them allegedly involving him personally.

When you guys came in, you promised to be the change, it is hypocrisy putting the challenge back to us when its obvious you are not ready to play your part.

PoliticsHow Buhari Dumped Dialogue With N-delta Militants by Bosc(op): 9:31am On Jul 10, 2016
When  Nigerians woke up, last Monday, to find that Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, had bombed about five oil facilities belonging to the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Chevron Nigeria Limited, CNL, and Nigeria National Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, they were aghast, as there was supposed to be a ceasefire in the Niger Delta.

The incidents   occurred between July 1- 4, but when the militant group claimed to be blown up yet again blew up an NPDC manifold, close to Batan, and two NNPC/PPMC crude oil trunk lines, also in Delta State, on Tuesday, it was palpable that there was fire on the mountain.

Since then, the NDA and other militant groups have, according to them, intensified bombings in the region, blowing up NNPC pipeline in Eleme, Rivers State, on Wednesday, another three Chevron manifolds   at Diogbolo, Dibi Oil Field, Warri North Local Government Area in Delta State, on Thursday,   and Nembe 1, 2 and 3 crude trunk lines in Bayelsa and Rivers states on Friday.

President’s changing tone

The militant group did not give reason for the resumption of hostilities, but President Muhammadu Buhari, in his first major statement after the renewed bombings, while receiving some eminent Nigerians, mostly Muslims, who paid him sallah homage, insisted the Nigeria’s unity was not negotiable.

He said: “We have to concentrate on the militants to try to know how many of them, in terms of groupings, try to get in touch with their leadership to try to persuade them to please give Nigeria a chance.

“I assure them that when were very junior officers, we were told by the Head of State, who was General Gowon, that to keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done, we never thought of oil.

“What we were after is one Nigeria. Please, pass the message to the militants that one Nigeria is not negotiable. And I pray they better accept it. The constitution is very clear as to what they should get and I assure them that there would be justice”.

His mien, July 6, was different from his tone 12 days earlier, June 24, at a dinner with leaders and chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC, at the Presidential Villa, where he pleaded with the Niger Delta militants in the name of God to reconsider their destruction of oil and gas installations.

Dashed hope

The NDA and other militant groups were said to have waited patiently for the President, who just returned to the country from his medical trip in London, to point the way forward two days after the expiration of the two-week ceasefire declared by government, June 6.   Nevertheless, he remained taciturn.

The expectation of many was that Buhari would make definite declarations on the peace talks, given that the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr. Ibe Kachikwku, who undertook a preliminary tour of the region and met with some stakeholders to prepare grounds for the jaw-jaw, would have briefed him on his trouble-shooting mission.

However, the President chose to remain silent on the critical matter. The NDA, during the period, urged him to call a referendum for Nigerians to decide if they would continue to stay together, just like his counterpart in Britain, David Cameron, did.

Unsolicited invitation

It also invited him to the Niger Delta to see things for himself. According to the group’s spokesperson, Mudoch Agbinibo: “The Nigeria President Buhari should visit   Ugborodo,   host to Chevron   crude oil export terminal/EGTL gas plant, Ogulagha,   host to Shell Forcados crude oil export terminal/tank farm and Bonny Island, host to Shell Bonny crude oil export terminal/NLNG gas terminal…”

Agbinibo went on: “He (Buhari) should also visit Brass, host to Agip/ENI export terminal and Ibeno, host to ExxonMobil Qua Iboe crude export terminal.

"These are just the export terminals not talking about the numerous oil and gas flow stations and the oil wells that crisscross the length and breadth of the Niger Delta.

“Mr. President, come and see for yourself what the host communities are going through in the hands of Nigeria government and the multinationals”.

Buhari, who had sent the Vice President to flag-off the Ogoni clean-up exercise, declined the offer. However, no sensible security team would advise him to visit the areas on the invitation of a militant group.

Ultimate Warriors, others open up

If NDA was being evasive on the reasons for breaking the ceasefire and Buhari not forthcoming on  dialogue, the Ultimate Warriors, one of the militant groups in the region, broke the calabash. Its spokesperson, Sibiri Taiwoh, stated in an electronic mail to Sunday Vanguard before the ceasefire broke down that Buhari was kidding about Niger Delta, saying his policy would boomerang.

The group stated: “It is utterly unfortunate that today Nigeria has a President that is just there enjoying the propaganda machinery of his party the  APC, to the detriment of the economy and the purposeful governance that he promised during the electioneering campaigns.

"Under Buhari regime, like in 1985 when he was thrown out because of this kind of archaic economic policy, Nigeria’s economy has finally slide into recession.   This is because of your hopeless economic policies tailored to favour political associates and family members to the detriment of the entire country, particularly the Niger Delta region that sustains the nation with its oil resources.

“How can the President claim that he will rebuild the Niger Delta region; whereas he is doing everything to annihilate us;    whereas he is fanning the embers of discord in the region using his lieutenants. We are aware that this government is anchored on deceit and propaganda, but if they continue to shamefully pay lip service to us, we will surely protest by any crude means we can, including totally grounding the oil economy”.

Dismissive strategy

It went on: “Mr President, your unserious policy about the Niger Delta will soon boomerang on your head because the goodwill you have been enjoying has expired. You said you needed time and you declared a ceasefire to come out with something.   We gave you time, but you did nothing…

"What we saw is that you started deploying and redeploying soldiers to wage war the Niger Delta communities. You set up a Dialogue and Contact Committee and at the same time started deploying security agents to the Niger Delta. To do what?

"You are using the money that you ought to use to fast-track already started projects in the region to empower committees, political jobbers, who are deceiving you and security agents in a bid to hunt down agitators, instead of doing the needful. That is a miscalculation.

Ploy

“Stop deceiving us because we are aware of every move the government is making. We do not want any committee, we are aware it is a diversionary tactic of the government because for weeks now, no tangible thing has come out of the so-called committee. We want concrete action, we want direct federal government pronouncement to our demands”.

“We are, therefore, saying this to let the world know that President Buhari government is unserious about the Niger Delta and he should be held responsible for all incidents in the region for his missteps.

“If the Buhari government thinks approaching the Niger Delta conflict by divide and rule tactics is the best approach, let them continue to feast on the propaganda machinery of the APC, but we are assuring him (Buhari) that we will make sure he suffers bad luck since he sees us as conquered territory.”

I don’t care attitude

Speaking in similar vein, July 5, the Reformed Egbesu Boys of Niger Delta, in a statement,   said: “Since we called off hostilities in collaboration with the Niger Delta Avengers,   although reluctantly… we have observed the `I do not care’ attitude of the Federal Government on its much flaunted and publicized   dialogue   option   with key actors of the crisis.

” The group’s so-called General Tony Alagbakereowei  said: “The Secretary to the Federal Government alleged that there are numerous groups and interested parties, who want to negotiate with the Federal Government and that there is no clear leadership that the  Federal Government could trust and negotiate with. This is not only preposterous, but smacks off a predetermined mindset.

“In as much as this could be true to some extent, we wish to state that the Federal Government allowed miscreants and meddlesome interlopers seeking relevance in Abuja to gain pipeline contracts and appointments to deceive key actors of the government.”

Meanwhile, on Buhari’s stand that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable, the Ijaw People Development Initiative, IPDI, a non-governmental organization, said: “Our attention has been drawn to a statement made by Mr President while breaking fast with Muslims leaders in Aso Rock, that Nigeria ‘s unity is not negotiable. He even went down memory lane on how General Yakubu Gowon handled the civil war.”

Anger spreads

National President of the group, Austin Ozobo, in a statement, said: “He then handed down a threat, which will further aggravate tension in the region when he said that he is passing a message to the militants that Nigeria’s unity is not negotiable. This does not go down well with some of us. Nigeria’s false marriage is now incompatible; it is not the duty of President Buhari to decide whether it is negotiable or not, and that can only be determined through a referendum, and that power rests with the electorate, not the President.”

"His threat only implies that, in a nutshell, if the people of  the region fail to see reason with him regarding his rigid position, Armageddon shall descend on the region.

“We find Mr. President’s statement not only repulsive, but totally disrespectful to the millions of Nigerians, who, on daily basis, have been calling for restructuring, true federalism and self-determination, a fundamental right as clearly stated in United Nations Charter and Africa Charter and People’s Rights.

”President Buhari’s voice most of the time polarizes the country more. As a leader, listening to the cries of your people is far better than forcing your opinion based on ethnic and religious sentiment down our throats.

"Nigerian state came into being through forcefully marriage under Sir Lugard, without  the consent and input of Niger Deltans on how they should be governed and how they want to live with other ethnic nationalities.

“We reject this ‘monkey dey work, baboon dey chop treatment’  from the Nigerian state. We once again join progressive minds calling for true federalism because this is the only way out of the currrent agitations from several quarters”.

Buhari’s metamorphosis

Findings by Sunday Vanguard, however, showed that Buhari was initially excited about the Federal Government dialoguing with  militants and stakeholders in the Niger Delta, but, along the line, seemed to have changed his mind, as he is no longer disposed to dialogue.

A source said some top security officials and politicians around the President convinced him that negotiating with Niger Delta militants would mean that government succumbed to their blackmail.

The different interest groups mounted pressure on Buhari, who shifted from his earlier position.   The militants, who were, according to sources, suspicious of government negotiators all along, reportedly saw the President’s latter-day reorganization of Operation Pulo Shield, now Operation Delta Safe, redeployment of security personnel from the North to the Niger-Delta on the grounds that those in the region were incompetent and the crackdown on militants, as a sign that government was no longer interested in dialogue.

Our dependable source said: “The truth is that there were intrigues and power play, involved the details of which are better classified in national interest. But the President chose to hold his grounds against militants than yield to them in the name of dialogue.”

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, however, hit the nail on the head, on Friday,  when he said government deliberately refused to discuss with NDA.

Osinbajo, who delivered the second foundation lecture of Elizade University,Ilaramokin, Ondo State, said NDA members are not freedom fighters but economic warriors    fighting for their own private pockets.

“The so-called Avengers are not freedom fighters but fighting for their own economic benefits. They are avenging for their private pockets and that is why government is not talking with them”, he stated.

The Vice President, however, said that the Federal Government had concluded arrangements to tackle the menace of pipeline vandalism in the Niger/Delta.

While condemning the activities of the militants who claimed responsibility for the vandalization of petroleum pipelines in the oil-rich region, said “The previous government neglected the region for several years, hence the current challenges”..

Osigbo said government had put the machinery in motion to curtail the activities NDA.

He also lamented that attacks by the group on oil and gas pipelines were responsible for the epileptic power supply in the country as well as the inability of state governors to pay workers’ salaries due to the low revenue generated in the oil sector.

Nwuche’s advice

Meanwhile, a former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chibudom Nwuche, has appealed to the NDA and all militant groups in the Niger Delta to sheath their swords.

In a statement in Abuja, Nwuche appealed to the militants to cease campaigns of destruction of oil facilities in the region as that would have far- reaching negative effect on the people of the region, pointing out that the average Niger Deltan depends on farming and fishing for sustenance.

If you want to buy "I pass my neighbour" look for Birla Yamaha (very strong, durable & economical) but if you want a gen with a higher capacity, I'll recommend pasuma.

PoliticsNiger-delta Avengers Denies Arrest Of Its Members, Dares SSS To Parade Suspects by Bosc(op): 10:16am On Jul 03, 2016
The Niger Delta Avengers on Saturday said the announcement by the State Security Services to the effect that some of its members were arrested was laughable.

In a statement posted on its website, the Avengers, notorious for its wanton destruction of oil and gas installations across the oil-rich region, said the SSS should grant reporters access to suspects in its custody to substantiate its claims that those arrested were members of the militant group.

The SSS had said in a statement it distributed on Friday that two members of the Avengers were arrested as a result of intensified surveillance the service recently put in place to forestall criminal activities across the country.

The statement, signed by Tony Opuiyo, also said some members of the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as well as other criminal elements in different hideouts across the country, were also arrested in the operation which lasted throughout the month of June.

Christian ‘Sensor’ Oluba and Selky Torughedi were the two individuals with alleged ties to the Avengers who were apprehended while plotting to launch an attack on an oil installation, the SSS said.

But in the statement signed by its spokesman, Mudoch Agbinibo, the Avengers faulted the Director General of the SSS, Lawal Daura, for trying to fool President Muhammadu Buhari by giving him a false sense of comfort over the situation in the region.

Mr. Agbinibo said the individuals arrested were, in fact, SSS moles whom the department only arrested and labeled criminals after they demanded payment for the clandestine operations they had carried out for the country.

“The boys have the right to demand for their money from SSS, why not pay them instead of arresting and labeling them as Niger Delta Avengers members?” Mr. Agbinibo said. “If SSS are (sic) denying this, let them allow the suspects to speak to the press. We (Niger Delta Avengers) don’t have any connection with these boys. We dare the SSS to allow the boys to tell the world their side of the story.”

Mr. Agbinibo admonished security outfits to desist from “feeding” Mr. Buhari a false narrative about activities across the region, saying the war against oil vandals would not be won if they remained economical with the truth.

“SSS and Nigerian Army can’t win the Niger Delta war by feeding their President with false information about situation of things in the Region.

“It’s all good because as it seems the SSS is now having internal crisis with most of their sleeper agents and it’s a sign that God is on our side", Mr. Agbinibo said.

The Avengers also decried Mr. Daura’s alleged indifference to the truth, saying the security chief should imbibe the teachings of his faith as a Muslim.

“This is to SSS Director Lawal Daura, this the holy month of Ramadan and as a Muslim you hold it to Allah and the Nigeria people to say the truth. Why not come out with the truth?”

Mr. Agbinibo, therefore, urged the authorities to sort out their matter with the informants, adding that Mr. Buhari should focus on more important issues in the Niger Delta.

“The Nigerian Army will never get us (Niger Delta Avengers), let them go and settle with their sleeper agents and stop deceiving the general public and their President.“

There are problem in the Niger Delta region such as underdevelopment, environmental degradation, lack of infrastructure and the issue of self-determination. These are the areas Mr. President should focus on, not arresting their allies and linking them to Niger Delta Avengers,” the Avengers said.

As far as I know, jail break can't just happen like that, without laxity and cooperation of the prison warders!

What I see here is a well planned game by Dambazzau and his cronies to indict some top southern officers so they can also retire them the way they did in the military so as to deal with the likes of NK, FFK, etc the way they want.
PoliticsHeads To Roll Over Kuje Prison Jailbreak, Dambazau Weighs In by Bosc(op): 9:04pm On Jun 29, 2016
Minister of Interior, Lt Gen Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau (Rtd), has condemned prison authorities over the escape of two culpable homicide inmates of Kuje Medium Prison frowning that they negligently relaxed security.

Speaking after visiting the prison, the Dambazau who blamed the incident on serious security lapses, stressed that they ignored his warning at his previous visit to the prison to tighten security, warning that government can no longer tolerate the escape of any other prison inmate let alone the two facing homicide case.

He said that though he won’t want to jump the gun over the fate of the officers responsible for the security lapses, he would rather wait to see what the panel of inquiry set up by the Controller General comes out with before taking action.

According to him, “We accessed the general security situation following the escape of the two inmates. The last time I was here, I noticed some security lapses in the prison, I made my observation then known to the former CG of prison with the present controller and I told them precisely what to do but unfortunately they did not until this occurred.

“The Controller General of prison has started investigation into the matter and I will also do everything possible to ensure that we reinforce the security here and also follow the routines very importantly. We need to know princely what to do, the number of inmates in a particular cell, not just in terms of numbers but by their names.

“I believe that if every officer takes seriously his or duty, things like that will not happen. The prisons are very important in the cabinet justice administration because this is the warehouse and custody of prisoners. The responsibility of the custody lies on ensuring that anybody who passes through the prison does not go back to the society as a criminal.

“It is a place we rehabilitate the prisoners. So if we leave security gaps, we will never achieve our objective. We are going to take it very seriously to ensure that such did not repeat itself. We will ensure that we enforce security as much as possible. We want to ensure that every prison officer handles his responsibilities the way it should be.

“It is not a good situation to see two prisoners escape. Not just ordinary prisoners but the ones awaiting trial for murder. It is a very serious issue. Without preempting what the investigative panel will come out with, those security gaps I observed last time I visited which made it possible for the escape must be covered to ensure that things like that did not happen again.

“It will be difficult to tell you whether heads will roll or not but I would rather wait for the outcome of the report of the panel the CG set up before taking further action,” he noted.
