Very sick n daft people. This here is their major punchline, every other thing is just some smokescreen:



Then they add this for good measure:


As lords of the manor cum owners of Nigeria, everyone must fold under them and swear fealty, they can't believe the 'audacity' of Nnamdi Kanu or well placed public officials lending him any support. Useless set of goats!

IamaNigerianGuy:
I will not normally dignify such ignorance with a response. You have probably been educated with oil money, drive on roads built with oil money, get paid a salary made possible by oil money that is why it is possible for you to type anything you like.
The thieves in Nigeria are not the indigenous bunkerers but the FG and Oil companies.
When your 2 year old child is dying of an infectious disease, or your pregnant wife is bleeding 3 weeks to delivery on an island 5 hours by boat from the nearest hospital, when you need money to pay hospital bills and must pay out-of-pocket because the incompetent local, state and federal governments have succeeded in grounding healthcare in Nigeria but see no problem with treating an old sick Fulani man in London, when these happen to you please tell me you will eschew crude refining and embrace conservation of the environment.

People like you just get up and type rubbish because they are paid peanuts. A quick look at your profile: 8,600 posts in 4 months shows you're a paid hack.
GTF outahere.

FYI I am not from the creeks.

For the SBS right? I have no problem with that they can use whatever to get their job done

Xbee007:
I want to suggest that on 11th of September 2017, we should try and take this to the Front-page to celebrate this hero. We should prepare wonderful eulogies for this unsung hero to further immortalise his names and let the world understand the evil of unchecked corruption.
No one should forget Badeh and his caucus so soon, they deserve some bashing.
B4 that day, we will agree on a particular time when the post will be made so that good comments will be on top b4 educated illiterates hijack the thread.

Are you for real?

komekn:
I am somewhat bewildered but not suprised. The first problem is that the depth of Ignorance on battlefield field management and strategy does not lie alone with the public.

I recall that a General giving information to the public about another ambush, declared that the army had responded and rescued all the kidnapped lecturers from Uni Maiguguri and the NNPC staff from that ambush. Within hours the truth began to filter out and he had given complete and utter misinformation.

It showed that we lack the basic communication infrastructure in real time that is needed for battlefield management.

Instead of remaining silent that he could be thought to be wise he did the opposite, saying it was sabotage and information given to the enemy.

Ambushing a NA convoy from all I gather is far from difficult. Firstly, we still go around in huge numbers of soft skinned pick-up trucks into a kill zone. With a small number of light armoured APC's Piranha, the Chinese CS/VP3. We do not still have a definitive IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) in the NA inventory. So essentially we are under equipped.

Add to that the majority of our troops are still using antiquated AK47'S without optic sights.

The pertinent thing about an ambush is the element of suprise. When you are in a kill zone, you are expected to be ambushed it's not a suprise. In that regard you have strategic response immediate and support to mitigate against it.

However, again from what I am told we still believe In the mentality of strength in numbers. Very 1970's going around in noisy 100 vehicle convoys on main roads. It doesn't take rocket science to set up a confrontation in those circumstances.

Look at our procurement level and look at our expenditure our first son and father are very much at work CORRUPTION. This is at the heart of the matter.

ja2ken:
Either u r a sympathizer of this government or u r a yoruba man.. How many sponsors of boko haram have been caught? How intelligent is the Nigerian army??.. The war against boko haram is a war against the NUT.. A country run by the dumb majority...

jabolo:
You made me go consult the diagrams. There is also a pipeline from Soku to the Eastern pipeline backbone which, yes, also goes down to the NLNG but, more importantly swings upwards towards the OB-OB link and therefore the Western system => ELPS/Lagos etc.

Educate me. I don't think FID has been reached regarding the NLNG expansion. That wouldn't be wise in current markets where spot prices dominate and it would be difficult to secure a long-term supply contract to underscore the financing.

kjhova:
The truth is that as a people, we Nigerians are all being butt rammed by the political/economic elite. This butt hurting has gone on for too long that we have gotten quite used to it; the smell, the putrification, the sticky hole and all! Now the people are so pumelled that we don't even know who our real adversaries are anymore.

The elite conveniently channel our anger towards Abuja while between; the state governments, their ministries, assemblies, royal fathers, ethnic group elders, consultative assemblies, youth groups, religious bodies, contractors etc, the entire national commonwealth is being siphoned away everlastingly! And this is across board from Kebbi to Adamawa through Oyo to Lagos through Edo to Enugu to Rivers!!

When Mrs. Deziani looted NNPC, as is being revealed by on-going investigations in Nigeria, UK, Switzerland and the US, she was in cahoot with Kola Aluko and Jide Omokore. Ethnicity didn't matter to this people so long as there is a pie to be ripped.

There has to be an enlightened mass movement against the endemic elite corruption and stealing in Nigeria. We cannot go on like this.

IamaNigerianGuy:
Since you live in the Niger Delta, you might know also that it is the endemic poverty that drives the people to bunkering.
What solution do you propose ? They should remain passive and die of hunger while Bubu the dullard spends the ND money on treating his mystery ailment in London ?

fratermathy:
Oil Spillage has become the sad reality of the Delta today. From the Western end of Ondo to the Eastern end of Akwa Ibom, oil spillage is a recurrent decimal.

In itself, oil spillage is not the problem because it can be cleaned and it is not unique to Nigeria. The problem, however, is the government's lack of interest in the plight of the poor fishermen and riverine dwellers of the Delta who have to face the reality of black oil on their land and waters. The oil companies pay little to no interest to these spills and even when monies are disbursed for cleanup, they end up on the stomach of the so-called Niger Delta leaders.

What about the militants that claim to fight for the rights of the people by blowing up pipes (and by extension causing more spillages)? Many of them have been bought off by the FG. The amount of money the FG spends to feed the ex-militants in a month is enough to clean up a large section of the oil spills in Urhobo/Isokoland. What are the militants doing about it now that their purses are full?

The blame for these spills goes to each and every one of us. To the government, for its negligence and blatant disregard for the welfare of its citizens who have to suffer the bitter taste of black crude, spilt over their water and land. To the Niger Delta leaders who eat the little money that may be used to satiate the plights of the jobless fishermen, farmers, and riverine dwellers who have nowhere to go. To the militants and agitators who use a genuine cause to enrich themselves at the detriment of the people they swore to fight for. To the average Nigerian who turns away from sordid images such as the ones on this thread; who rather pretends not to know what their fellow citizens are facing every day.

The Niger Delta is a mistreated and wealthy bride of Nigeria. She may not know her true worth now or have good leaders and agitators, but a day will come when the bride shall say enough is enough. When that day comes, Nigeria will stand still and see the evil its leaders and the oil companies have done against a once arable and ecologically rich region. No one, not even our closest neighbours, can help us. We alone have to break free of the chains we have allowed ourselves to be entrapped in.

Remimadrid:
is that all you can come up with?, are the youth the ones causing the spillage?

No, but it is the leaders that are giving the youths the weapon to destroy their own land by themselves, while blaming the federal government for the cause of their actions

legislatively:
no one bombed pipelines in ogoni and ilaje, the federal government in conjunction with the oil companies refused to do clean-up.
The case is the same in most part of nigerdelta

Efewestern:
Tell FG to give the people what belongs to them, our land are been destroyed daily.

laurel03:
abi ooo... even bill gate total worth is 85billion dollars... how he will now borrow Africa 30billion

successincentiv:
That's really a good move. We need a peaceful Nigeria. Restructuring is the way forward.

doctokwus:
I am not a fan of Nnamdi Kanu.Infact I once called him a scammer and still believe that if Biafra is actualized,Nnamdi Kanu's plan would be for him to be emperor for life,with dictatorial tendencies.
However,its only a fool that won't realise that by omission or commission,Nnamdi Kanu has become a formidable force with an ardent followership,thus confronting him or any wing affiliated to IPOB would only make him more popular and may eventually turn him to a cult figure.
Kanu's ego needs to be massaged and a deliberate and proactive step taken to reintegrate the Ibos in the mainstream of governance.The position of SGF now vacant and other strategic ones that will soon become vacant is a golden opportunity and a window of opportunity for any sensible goverment to gradually and deliberately make the Ibos start feeling a sense of belonging.
IPOB and Kanu can at this late hour only be defeated by ideology and deliberate inclusiveness,not any archaic throwback to military confrontation of any arm of IPOB.
These senators are not foolish.Perhaps a few of the intellectual and deep thinking ones are seeing the trajectory Kanu is charting and have eaten the humble pie to acknowledge him as a formidable force to be reckoned with,distasteful as it sounds.

Oildichotomy:
Did you put the Nigerian situation into context with your statement?

Oil & Gas money comes so easy that it becomes a herculean task diversifying to other sectors. Isn't that so obvious the last 50 years already?

Until we scrap or probably soft-pedal on developments in that sector. We will end up deceiving ourselves about some hoax diversify.
That draconian measure is so needed for any headway.. #MyThoughts

jabolo:
Wrong. It's for the domestic market since there are no immediate accompanying plans to boost export LNG capacity. In any case, the gas sector is being liberalized to eliminate (or reduce) the arbitrage between the two markets.

At this stage, we do need all the gas we can get for our own generation and don't you know it's a tragedy hearing that Lagos could be planning LNG imports for its embedded power project.

kjhova:
13% derivation earnings from FAAC collected by our oil producing states has run into trillions of Naira in the last 10 years.

Where is the money

hatchy:
More earnings for the government but more poverty to the Niger Delta people.
Money earned from oil has oiled every part of the country except the owners of the resources. Lagos,Abuja and other cities were built with the money gotten from oil but the Niger delta as a whole is stricken by poverty with no roads,pipe borne water and good health facilities.

The injustice in this country will only be corrected by total restructuring where there will be total devolution of powers and resource control.
