lordcabasa:
Election has come and gone, won and lost and as usual the threats of battle drums are brewing with the rights and priviledges of the people of the lower Niger aka THE NIGER DELTA PEOPLE CUM THE GOOSE THAT LAYS THE NATIONS GOLDEN EGGS occupying the front burner; In as much as am pained by the inequity being metted against the people of the Niger Delta, I still hold the opinion that at the moment I see no reason to agitate let alone fight for because doing same will term me insane in the Albert Einstein sense because it is tantamount to doing a particular thing over again and expecting a different result. Therefore;

1. It is a true fact of law that whosoever gets the benefits must also inherit the liability hence, if Jonathans presidency did not favor you or your people directly I see no reason why you wanna fight and die again for the few war reapers, if I may ask, what is the difference between a man from a far away land that reaps the delta and takes the benefit far away for himself and family and a niger delta "son" that plunders the benefits of the struggle to far away lands for the benefit of his few cronies. Note that the exit of Britain didn't make Nigeria successful how can the collapse of Nigeria make Niger delta better outside enthroning another monster.

2. If the benefits of the Niger Delta struggle under your leadership as a militant leader did not better the lives of the same people you claim to be fighting for in general during the benefits period then u lack the moral justification to call and arm those people again for your selfish gains or are you their slave/colonial master? What is the difference between you and the REAPERS you claim to be fighting anyway?

3. If you did not seek for independence of the Niger delta region, nor agitate for RESOURCE CONTROL when "our son was there" then you lack the moral justification to demand for same under a man who is not from your region because to my mind, if it's wrong for a woman to ask from her boyfriend what she can't ask from her father, I see no reason asking from a stranger what you can't ask from your brother.

4. If you did not provide succour to the families of those who lost their lives fighting the injustice you as militant leaders claim to be fighting under your watch, then you lack justice bringing same reason to make more mothers childless.

5. If you can afford to own a private jet as a militant leader or a university, tour the world, get the ears of a sitting president, own fleets of porshy cars, maintain leagues of armed security guards, sex the best actresses and control billions of naira; then you could have achieved providing enough transportation for your people at subsidised rate, if you can own a university outside the shores of the country then you could have afforded educating 20,000 of your indigenes annually and I see no better way to empower your people not even through arms,if you can afford to tour the world then you can't claim to lack ideas of the standard of life your people truly deserve to live by, if you could get the ears of a sitting president then I see no reason why half the problems were not resolved, one porshy ride equals setting up 500 entrepreneurs from your region, and if you alone use more armed guards than your entire community I wonder why you think there is high rate of crime when the bulk of the security forces are securing just few of you, if you can afford pleasures and frivolities then how can you question the moral decadence you indirectly fund in our societies today.

6. If they can deceive you to die for them in the name of Niger delta struggle when in essence it is as a result of revoking their illegal contracts and largesse cum lack of federal contracts and influence then you got what you truly deserve which is "death" for indeed the wages of sin is truly death.

7. A word is enough for the ...

According to the IYC in a statement by its spokesman, Comrade Eric Omare, "We want to make it clear that whether court injunction or no court injunction, we would not allow materials to be fabricated in Lagos and used to build oil platform in the Niger Delta region. Niger Deltans have been taken for granted for too long and we would no longer accept it

"Henceforth, Niger Deltans would take steps to ensure that any oil company without its headquarters in the Niger Delta region would not be allowed to operate in the region.

MizMyColi:
*sigh*
I weak like FriedPlantain

I just did some reading up.

Am I permitted to plead their cause?

What if these men, as a result of the rut going on in the system thought it unrueful to just go and die like that.
What if they were well aware that there were moles in their division and that they were actually being sent on a journey of no return.

Bro, even if I swore to serve this nation faithfully onto death, if the people I've entrusted my life to won't value it, would I be asking for too much for trying to defend this life of mine.

What if they are not all guilty?

What if some of them were just at the wrong place at the wrongest of times?

Y'see, when the drug offenders in Malaysia were killed, all through the drama, leading to the final day...
I don't remember uttering a word condemning their killing....somehow I felt it was justified.

It's just I'm never one to show a brazen support for termination of life by fellow humans.

Forgive my overt emotions on the topic, but I see the apparently wasted on the streets and regard their lives as sacred, how much more this handsome, agile looking men.

You should see my face now, it feels like I'm talking to you face to face.

Well, it's the military, not democracy.
Let what needs to be done, be done.

Truckpusher:
Exactly , you can't afford to have thousands of men and wine with arms not to be taking orders from somebody.
It's a recipe for disaster.

Why have they waited till now, in saner societies the court martial would be quick and precise and the next step is to have their fellow men in arms from the same formation shoots them in the presence of everyone and every rank and file falls into line.

Beremx:
Mogidi na you dem suppose give the injection sef. E be like say you don dey kolo.
You are suffering from Buharisis.

MizMyColi:
Brb
Lemme goan research more

MizMyColi:
Show some humanity bro.

Truckpusher:
Don't mind them.

They signed up for something and decided to haul asss thereby endangering their fellow brothers in arms.

[size=13pt]The worst thing that can happen to any military formation is mutiny.Imagine where a fellow soldier drops his gun and flee from battle - it can be both demoralizing and a negative influence in the minds of other men in arms.
[/size]
We all know that battles are usually won by the will power and zeal of men and women in arms who are ready to kill and be killed for their country and homeland, yet these cowards fled from their duty post.
Mutiny and sabotage is a death sentence , they should face the consequences for their actions let it serve as a deterrent to other would-be deserters.

OrlandoOwoh:
You're always pained. I just pray you don't transfer your agression on your own.

In your best intrest, go and learn manners! You don't just come on the internet to insult people that you may not have audience with in a life time.
