From what i gathered from the state department here in the US, the Niger Delta Avengers was serious about killing Buhari. It is instructive to note that the NDA had always done what they promised. No bluffs. they give the military notice of blowing oil installations, and it has been serial. Learnt the US govt with d benefit of Intel, advised the Presidency to cancel, because even if Buhari escaped, there would have been collateral damage. Also, The Avengers have cells scattered around Ogoniland run by foot soldiers. Said a source " To attack during the visit was very imminent, they operate as guerillas, so his DSS, and soldiers would have been blind sided. To harm the Nigerian President in such environment would have been easy because the soldiers have no clue, not well equipped for such, and his secret service are not trained in counter terrorism, like the FBI and US Secret Service who protect the US President. the Nigeria President is viewed as "enemy of state" in the Delta, to them he is persona non grata"

Very funny

Former President Goodluck Jonathan visited the Presidential Villa where he held a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday night, The Trent can exclusively report.

According to an authoritative source, Jonathan and Buhari had a private conversation in the presidential villa at about 9pm on June 2, 2016. The same day that the president backed out of his trip to Ogoni in Rivers state to flag off the clean up of the land devastated by years of oil exploration and spills.

The meeting was cordial and the matters discussed by the two leaders was not disclosed, even to aides of President Buhari.

The former president returned from Cote D’Ivoire on Wednesday evening after spending two months travelling around the word in connection with work for his foundation, The Goodluck Jonathan Foundation.

He immediately went to his hometown in Otuoke in Bayelsa State and left Bayelsa for Abuja on Thursday evening.

Jonathan’s return to Nigeria follows rumours of him being on self exile in Cote D’Ivoire. The former president had refuted the story of his exile to The Trent.

Close friends and associates of the former president were surprised to see him in Abuja on Friday morning as they were expecting him to come in later on Friday, a close source told our reporter.

If Buhari visits Ogoniland today and an attempt is made on his life, two things are bound to happen and both leads to only one end. One is to take him out using snipers or whatever and then what? The army will wipe the entire Southeast and South South off the surface of the earth. The army, Air force, Navy and all other security forces will be given a 'shoot at sight order' to keep shelling the entire region until nothing moves again, yes, nothing. The other is to make an attempt on his life and he escapes the assassination plot; either ways, the security agents will still kill everyone and everything. So, who wins?
No matter how it plays out, the northerners will immediately commence ‪#‎ethnicCleansing‬ against the ‪#‎Millions‬ of southerners in the North and the Southerners will also annihilate the ‪#‎Few‬ northerners in the South and a full scale war that is worse than the ‪#‎Biafra‬ cum ‪#‎bokoHaram‬ war will begin. Every ethnic group will take up arm against the other and continue to kill one another till the whole country is littered with corpses. Then the international community will wade into the crisis in the name of quelling the fight and take our oil and lands away from us. Then another round of ‪#‎Colonialization‬ will begin in full gear and the few ones that are lucky to be alive will become slaves to the West. Biafra is lost and One Nigeria is also lost. So, who wins?
Then 60 years from now, one of the few lucky survivors of the war will author a book with the title: 'There was a country' or 'Buhari's visit to Ogoniland: The beginning of the end of Nigeria'; or something like that. Again, who wins?
But after a deep thought, I told myself that Buhari was right to cancel his visit and take the ‪#‎Shame‬ that comes with it. He has clearly demonstrated a rare statesmanship that is worthy of emulation. The Buhari that I know is not worried about his life; he fought in the Biafra war 49 years ago. He is a war General who has seen death on several occasions. He is only concerned about the millions of life that will be wasted because of him as well as the aftermath effect of such bloody situation on the over 170million lives of fellow Nigerians.
Thank you baba for saving our lives. You have just earned yourself the title of 'The father of a new Nigeria! Shame on you ‪#‎Wailers‬!
God bless President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR!

You can continue in your folly!

When a society imports everything, how can people be productive hence they turn to crime like the Avengers.

Let's import everything just to show we have the money to buy anything from anywhere.

Your type hardly understand the workability of a normal society. I don't blame you sha...

sinkhole:
I am talking about Ogoni and Senegal and not about Lagos and Calabar (he may be sick then!)

futmxconnectn:
Clap for yourself. Blow up all the oil facilities in the region and chase all the investors away, you guys think you are doing PMB...

Tomorrow will tell..

sinkhole:
Ogoni - Cancelled => Because of fear!
Senegal -Cancelled => Because he wanted to make Ogoni cancellation look credible!

I think you gat my drift now?

thomasthomas:
Come do you even read news? Tomato scarcity is caused by a disease affecting the crops called Tomato Ebola. It is ravaging farmlands in Kaduna.

Who told you FG banned importation of tomatoes... Fresh tomatoes for that matter

I like your ignorance, everything is government Continue...

thomasthomas:
It's a very silly way to think. The way Nger Delta people think is to throw away the bath water with the baby.

Do you know you can have money without seeing food to buy, will you eat your money?

Common tomatoes being scxare and you guys are crying like babies... Continue forming commando maybe you'll drink crude oil.

sinkhole:
Bubu is just playing politics, nothing is wrong with his health! If I am in his shoes, I will also not go to Dakar, after the Ogoni cancellation!

irunooboo:
The real terrorist are IPOB and Niger Delta Avengers. The fulanis only attack farmers for grazing their cattle while the IPOB and Avengers attacks oil installations which affects the economy and electricity.

thomasthomas:
Okay, I hope you won't blame President Buhari when you lose your job or you siblings, uncles, parents, friends start losing their jobs. You won't expect the conmpanies to operate when their facilities are blown up.

Continue cheering them, I'm not crying, I'm self sufficient. Let them destroy their farmlands, soon the north will stop giving them food let's see how they farm on an oil spilled land.

Continue...
