TheGoodJoe:

As I said, you guys feed your egos with ethnic lies. How can the best governor in the history of the Niger Delta be an outcast.

Let the contractors come and defend what they have done. Show us the community and the sign board showing they have begun work in the site.

They ate the money one of them is sentenced for stealing money made for work.

Yet you exalt them. 13 billion for land and your talking. Instead if them to use it to build community for their people. Then they bomb the same land of the people.

Cowards.

Sample Amaechi's work below.

Then show me what their thieves did for them.

TheGoodJoe:

Kachukwu was talking bollocks. It is only Avengers without sense that can buy that thing Kachukwu said.

How can we go on with the Maritime University when the contractors and community leaders scammed the community 13 billion? Are we using the same scammers to continue the University. Tell me.

We must cancel the contract from the scammers, start a new bidding process without continuing.

If we do not think, Criminals will use us as sacrificial lambs for their greed.

TheGoodJoe:


The only language you understand is violence. The language I understand is peace. So if you think bombing is bringing the Government to its knees, then you are deceiving yourself.

These bombing destroy villages. There is a community that is abandoned. People lost their homes. A small fire can cause massive destruction. It kills, Children drink water polluted by hydrocarbons. Fish caught in other regions are poisoned which lead to slow death.

So who are you bringing to its knees. Is it the communities and it's people who cannot eat today or the Politicians in Aso Rock fighting for Prado SUV?

TheGoodJoe:

I said Democratic channels, ways to take to the government. Protesting and civil disobedience is not the perfect way.

Meeting your local leaders, forming a group, listing a plan, and going to the presidency. It might take long but in the end a compromise is achieved.

Civil disobedience has not led us far. Bombing our lands will take us back.

TheGoodJoe:


You tell me what they did. What are the Ijaws doing that is shacking you? Tell me. Is it not an Ijaw man that made billions from the Federal Government and went to buy private jet? Is that a struggle for the people?

Do you know how many good top quality roads in his village he would have constructed with that money?

Leave all these talk. These men are struggling for themselves. They should not destroy other people's land for their belle struggle. Let them keep off our lands.

As for Bakassi, they have struggled hard so far and God will help them. Saying what did they do like blowing and destroying community land is achievement is myopic.

Faculty14:
where were the avengers when bakasi was ceded to Cameroon? Is their fight all about resource control

TheGoodJoe:


Places developed. It is people close to our home that looted our resources. Not people outside. The allocations that came in was enough for massive development.

Blame our corrupt leaders who are those in the forefront and sponsoring these Militants for the lack of development.

If you guys want through Federalism, there are diplomatic channels without destruction of livelihoods and property.

If you guys feel destruction is the way, I am pleading, now.

TheGoodJoe:


You can see how insensitive you are but you are the first to claim Niger Delta.

Those are our people and they are suffering and need support. What would they have done when the International Community handed them over to Cameroon? You tell me. Shoot themselves?

Where were you when the International Community handed Bakassi to Cameroon.

Vshock:
This one is strong

TheGoodJoe:

I am pointing out that terrorism grow in different forms by planting sentiments through tribal and ethnic bigotry.

No matter what from it wears in the name of struggle, it is terrorism and Evil.

NDA are a group of criminals promoting terrorism in the name of a tribal sentiment. That does not make us one or make us United in this stupid bombing.

Recently, One of the BAKASSI freedom fighters called for the Avengers to stop the bombings.

So do not make it look like if these criminals are a whole region.

TheGoodJoe:



I have no say if these bastards fill my land with Crude? Is that not ridiculous? Your words alone describe the so called Avengers struggle.

It is Ijaws doing this thing and it is for their personal benefits. Just as their people siphoned 13 billion naira the Government gave them for a University in Okerenkoko and nothing was done. Then these fools blame the Federal Government.

There are pipelines in your community. Do not come to our land and bomb our land when you claim the Crude is your own.

TheGoodJoe:

You guys go and blow pipelines in Oron now. Haba. I'm I begging you people.

Go to Oron and blow pipes. Do not blow pipe in my community and ask me to be grateful.

I should be grateful that our Crude is flowing on my farm lands.

Please leave Oruk-Anam. Go and blow Oron. I do not care.

Please leave Oruk-Anam. Go and blow Oron. I do not care.

TheGoodJoe:
Look at these fools and cowards that call themselves Niger Delta Avengers. Please you guys should go to hell and fight your war.

Do not blow anything in my community again. Bastards. You have finish destroying your Ijaw land and now you are going to another man's community.

God punish you Avengers mumus and your pathetic Niger Delta Struggle.

I have not heard Akwa -Ibomites complaining. Neither have Oruk Anam peoole complained.

Respect your stupid self if not you will regret it.

Go to Ijaw Land and your community and fight your stupid war.

Gov. Udom Emmanuel should condemn this foolish act on our soil.

Mumu Bastard Avengers. Cowards.

ADVICE TO ND AVENGERS: Keep on keeping on.
Pls don't listen to anybody advising you against
pipeline vandalization. Keep it up. Deal with Buhari
(Pharaoh), APC & northern hegemony. Destroy your
land so that the people of Katsina will suffer. Before
you detonate the next bomb & blow up the next
pipeline, think again.
The Ogoni land is getting cleaned up & soon
commercial fishing will commence. Your friend in
Enugu that is urging you on is going back to farm,
Enugu will soon be one of the leading producers of
banana & pineapple in the world in collaboration with
a Mexican company.
Your friend in Lagos is urging you on to destroy ur
land but he is going to Kebbi to get farmlands for rice
farming. Meanwhile they have also started drilling oil
in Lagos. Wait, Kebbi will soon feed the whole country
& export. Tuta absoluta attacked Kano, Jigawa &
some northern states & you catch cold in your Creek.
Your brother in Edo will soon be supplying the whole
country with tomatoes due to Igbinedion university.
Are you thinking already?
Norway want to eliminate all cars using fossil fuel by
2025.
The world is moving on my brothers. You think you
are sabotaging Buhari but he is gradually settling
down into govt. Boko haram has been largely
decapitated & the world recognizes that. Anti
corruption fight is progressing.
About 3 trillion naira was announced recently as
recovered & frozen loots. That's money stolen by the
love of your life. Money that could have been used to
develop the Creek. Money that would have connected
you with roads, bridges & other amenities.
They stole it & gave you guns to go into the Creeks.
How many among the love of your life can spend a
night with you where you are right now? Where are
their children?
I heard your beloved PDP has zone presidency to the
north for 2019 election. The same north you so much
hate. The same north that is dominating you. Can't
you see they are just deceiving you? You are not their
concern. Their concern is the loots from the oil
produced on your land.
They don't care if you destroyed the land. They have
no plan to live there. How many refineries have they
built for you with all the looting. They love you so
much to keep you on 65k per month but cannot give
you basic education to emancipate you. Are their
children handling guns and sleeping in the creeks
with you?
Pls don't drop your arms. Destroy the environment to
get at Buhari. But when you are alone pls read this
over again.

Leopard2A7:
Let us be realistic here.

You say you want to negotiate then you send soldiers to go and harass a community, is that the way to go?

At least we had a break from all these bombings until the military broke the ceasefire.

omenka:
What the fuvk do you mean?? First, they are the ones making negotiation impossible blowing things up when the government observes a ceasefire. Secondly, if they wanna negotiate, they should be realistic with their demands.

Let them keep blowing things up and get on with the threat of killing their governors already. They are doing a fantastic job!

2. That the Federal Republic of Nigeria has violated the fundamental human rights of Niger Deltans to life and a healthy environment by the hazardous flaring of gas in their host communities unabated for the last 30 years, which has resulted in many health casualties, fatalities and untimely deaths without adequate reliefs and compensations.

3. That the Federal Republic of Nigeria should put a stop to all acquiring, renewal, award, allocation, transfer, prospecting, buying and selling of oil blocks and their assets until the hearing and determination of substantive matter.

ANY OTHER ORDER OR FURTHER ORDERS that this Honourable Court may deem fit to make in the circumstances of this case.

*We won’t join issues with Obanikoro but will do our job—EFCC

By Soni Daniel, Northern Region Editor, with agency reports

Abuja—A former Minister of State for Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro, yesterday, lashed out at the Nigerian government, a day after operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission raided his home and a property belonging to his son, Jide, in Lagos.

However, following the challenge thrown to the EFCC by Obanikoro to show evidence of his sons’ involvement in money laundering, the commission said last night it would not be distracted but would do its job.

Mr. Obanikoro in a series of tweets he posted on his Twitter page, @MObanikoro, yesterday morning, said he was not aware of any investigation into his activities when he held different ministerial portfolios in the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, adding that he was being victimised because of his political affiliation.


Obanikoro
Mr. Obanikoro said any extradition proceeding against him would not stand the test of a decent judicial system, especially in the United States.

“Rumours of extradition are also lies – false allegations cannot stand up to any decent legal inquiry in a civilised system such as in the U.S,” he asserted
Mr. Obanikoro said his travails at the hands of anti-graft officials were calculated to divert the attention of Nigerians away from the “abysmal and ignominious economic records” of Mr. Buhari.

“This is a government determined to outdo the abysmal and ignominious economic records of Dec. 31, 1983 to August 27, 1985 that ended in shame,” he claimed

Meanwhile, the EFCC said last night that it would not be distracted by Obanikoro’s outburst but do its job without fear or favour.

The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, told Vanguard last night that there was no need for the commission to dissipate energy on a matter that was straightforward and incontrovertible.

Uwujaren challenged Obanikoro to come out of his hiding and face the evidence before the commission in court so as to prove his innocence and that of his children.

overall90:
you are the pathetic one here.
does this story make sense to you that a man who owns and runs a shop will just pack and live town because of used laptop and some other rubbish.
tell me what a bloody otondo corper has in his one room that will make a business man abandon his business and run away.
you said the story is detailed, aren't some fictional stories and script more detailed than actual events?

Ndjones:
This story is rubbish. It was just cooked up only to degrade the good igbo people. How can an igbo man who has a shop come and ask you for him to stay in your house? A typical igbo man I know will prefer to make his shop his home if he doesn't have money to rent a house. OK after he ran with your tokunbo laptop, he also closed his shop too. You are a bloody yoloba liar

worksmart:
My estimate is that Boko haram under GEJ murdered at least 500,000 people.
One single mass murder incident alone in Baga killed 3000.

omenka:
You obviously wrote this in response to my thread. Saw you peeping several times but your ego wouldn't let you comment on it.

Anyway, from what the crux of my post was (as quoted above in the bold portions), we are on the same page.

God bless Nigeria.
