Politics › Pipeline Bombing: Go After Perpetrators Only, Bayelsa Elders Beg Buhari. by cosby02(op): 10:51pm On Jan 21, 2016 |
As fear heightened in Ijaw communities over possible military expedition in the wake of the bombings and vandalisation of oil pipelines in Delta State by suspected militants, Ijaw elders, under the aegis of Bayelsa Elders Council, BEC, have appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the security agencies to go only after the perpetrators of the dastardly act with a view to bringing them to justice under the rule of law. This, according to them, was to prevent security operatives from destroying innocent communities in the process of fishing out the perpetrators. Similarly, former leaders of the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, MEND, yesterday, dismissed claims that former militants from the region were responsible for the recent bomb attacks on oil and gas installations in Delta State, insisting that the attacks were carried out by criminals. Though the ex-MEND leaders noted that the Federal Government had launched a high powered investigation into the incidents to bring the perpetrators to book, they said that the claims against the frontline ex-militant leader, Chief Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo) and other ex-militant leaders were untrue and misplaced. The ex-militant leaders, under the aegis of the Leadership Peace and Cultural Development Initiative, LPCDI, led by Chief Reuben Wilson, insisted that those behind the attacks were criminal elements, who were out to disrupt the peace in the region and set the Federal Government against the people of the region. “What happened was not carried out by ex-militants. The world should not label the ex-militants with evil deeds. The attacks were carried out by criminal elements. Some people claim that Tompolo did it but he has come out to clear himself. Tompolo is a man known for his words. If he is involved in such things, he will come out openly to say so and give reasons. But he is not behind these recent attacks,” LPCDI said. Meanwhile, Bayelsa Elders Council, which met in Yenagoa to review the recent spate of bombings and vandalisation of oil and gas pipelines, called on the perpetrators to desist forthwith in view of inevitable damage it may cause the economy of the states of the region and the nation, especially at a time the country was grappling with falling crude oil price. The position of the elders is contained in a communique by Chief Francis Doukpola and Chief Thompson Okorotie, Chairman and Publicity Secretary of BEC. The elders also called on the Federal Government to observe restraint while making pronouncements on the matter and consult widely with relevant stakeholders when major decisions concerning the amnesty programme are to be taken. They urged the Federal Government to apply the carrot and stick approach by negotiating with the host communities to bring about sustainable solutions to the problem. “The council expresses its support for the anti-corruption crusade embarked upon by President Buhari. We are, however, concerned about the way certain persons, including Ijaw, have been handling in the process. “All Nigerians deserve to be treated decently in preservation of their fundamental human rights under the rule of law,” they noted. Ijaw elders present at the meeting include HRM Joshua Igbagara, Ibenanaowei of Oyiakiri clan; HRM Jonathan Kubor, Ibenanaowei of Bassan clan, among others. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/01/pipeline-bombing-go-after-perpetrators-only-bayelsa-elders-beg-buhari/ |

Ugonnax: Babangida and Abacha are only 5'5...thats not handsome my friend. If you want to see what a Handsome man looks like, go get a picture of Henry Odein Ajumogobia. In a sane society, Henry Ajumogobia should have been our president. Not these opportunits, quota system candidates. A man immensely respected around the world but our tribalistic nature and wicked heart will not allow us to see the potential in him. See our Clinton is looking at him:-) Is Henry Odein Ajumogobia a past president in Nigeria  |

woodcook: Really? Stop being childish.
Like everything in life, no one gives you anything so we don't need your invite just like we are not going to invite you just to prove to you that we are warm people.
Small sentiment: We just show up work our assess off, and before you know what hits you, we have a house right in front of yours. We get waiting knowing that when you die your lazy son would want to sell off your property and use the money for owambe. We just give him the money which he can't resit ( in this case we are doing him a favor) he throws his party we owns the house/land.
Serious business: Have you ever gone to purchase land in any states in the East and it was not sold to you? Like I said do yourself a favor, travel and stop believing hear say.
Have you heard of ama-hausa in Enugu? Or Owerri Road? Go to Owerri Road you will be surprised how many Hausa(s) have lived there all their lives and how many of them owns houses there. Have you been to Akwuke? It is a village towards PH Express Way in Enugu, I know a lot of non-Igbos that owns land and houses there? Maybe those places I mentioned are not in the East.
As per the wife bridal cost, do you think that the cost of marrying someone from the East is a fixed across all local government areas/villages in the East? Of course you didn't think that through before typing that. Have you ever for once asked yourself before now when the wealth in circulation was not as huge as it now how do the Igbos go about getting married? Do they ask a poor yam farm to give up all the yams in his barn and when it is not enough to mortgage his farm land? Do you ever asked yourself how did this so called exorbitant cost of marrying came about?
Time for little sentiment: Guy it is called competition, survival of the fitness! All the strong survives and like every other advanced species only the strong are allowed to pass on their gene If you are a loafer our society will not allow you to continue spreading that loafer gene. 
I have met several Yoruba men, who proved themselves and got wives from across the Niger and I can tell you that is the best thing that has ever happened to them.
Back to business; since you were given birth to have you seen or read anywhere that there was riot in the East and the rioters demanded that people that are not from the East should leave? Apart from reprisal attacks (which is usually as a result of attacks up North) have you read anywhere that people in East just woke up one morning for whatever reasons and started killing other Nigerians living among them.
I am sure your answer to that will be no. My friend if you are up for the competition roll your sleeve and work hard so you can talk among men.
As per Lagos being so friendly and all that, there is no state in Nigeria where omo-nile holds sway than in Lagos, and you call that a friendly environment?
Aboro , go back and do your home work properly!

fx45: You're not going to give chance for someone who hasn't shown interest in your political scene. The Igbos that won seats in Lagos indicated interest, campaigned and spent their money on the elections. They showed interest in being part of the politics in their immediate community. That is being bold. Are you going to blame me for your inability to compete in places outside your comfort zone? They (igbos) didnt just start by campaigning and contesting elections, they were encouraged by giving them political appointments from local level up to state level, they gave them the sense of belonging. Thats what i expect you to emulate too. Did those given appointments recently by Kaduna state governor contest for it  |

fx45: No head would turn if someone speaks Hausa in a bus. Do you know why? Hausa people are all over the place even in the most interior parts of Igboland. Yoruba people are hardly seen around. The only ones people see are mostly youth corpers. It's just a natural reaction if heads turn when you speak Yoruba in a bus. That falls back to my point. I'm waiting for that time you will give those numerous Hausa people around you chance in your political scene. |

igwe123: Then stop requesting to be appointed in SE and shvt up. Oyibo didn't leave Niger delta at the peak of Miltancy, Igbos have not left Kano despite all religious clashes, faint heart ppl and excuses sha Im convinced there are no other tribes living among you people, if am wrong why haven't we heard their names all these while  Encourage others to come by treating those there already right. Thanks |

woodcook: The Igbo won't go to Ekiti and pick someone living in Ekiti as if the Igbos that were elected in Lagos or picked in Kogi are not leaving there. Stay in your village in Ekiti and expect the Igbo to come and drag you down to the east and crown you oba-of Ekiti in Igbo land.
As long as other tribes continue wallowing in their land the Igbo who have come to live among them over the years and that have proven themselves worthy will be picked and elected. And as long as you keep hiding in Lagos nothing for you down there, if you really want it go down to the east and fight your way up like the Igbos are doing everywhere. They worked for it and they deserve it!
A times I wonder the kind of logic you people throw around, actually each time I see those senseless argument what comes to mind is eugenic. Did anyone write invitation letters requesting your presence in Kano or Ekiti  You have to learn how to accommodate others just the way they accomodate you. How can i come to Abia state with the intention of settling down when we both know you have a culture of not selling piece of land to strangers, how can i come to marry a girl in Igbo land just like am going to buy hummer jeep. My brother no one wants to suffer in the face of better options. Thats more reasons why you will never hear us cry for anything. We are silent achievers. Every one of you wana come to Lagos, go to PH and Kano. Have you asked yourself why people are not interested in migrating to your side thesame rate at which you migrate  |
