*MEND WORKING TO FREE HENRY OKAH, AVENGERS’ AFFILIATE TELLS FG
The Adaka Boro Avengers (ABA) and other militant groups have asked indigenes of South-East and South-South all over Nigeria to immediately come back home.
Specifically, they called on former President Goodluck Jonathan; elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark; King Alfred Diete Spiff; Ankio Briggs; Joseph Eva; Patrick Fufein, Pastor Good, past and present military personnel from the Niger Delta region, present senators and members of the Houses of Representatives to come to Kaiama for the official declaration of the Niger Delta Republic on August 1.
In a statement issued on Sunday, July 24, General Edmos Ayayeibo, the group’s spokesman, reiterated the earlier order that Northerners and South Westerners should vacate the South-South before August 1.
He warned the Federal Government to “move out all military personnel and all government agencies out of the Niger Delta,” noting that “failure will lead to destruction of military barracks and personnel.”
General Ayayeibo also warned that non-indigenes of South-South and SouthEast who remained in Niger Delta after the declaration of independence would have themselves to blame.
“The Nigerian community is aware of what happened some weeks back after our seven days ultimatum given to the multinational oil companies in the Niger Delta. Every one witnessed how many lives that were lost and how many oil installations that were destroyed,”
General Ayayeibo said. The statement reads in part, “We are also using this medium to call on the Niger Delta famous sons and daughters. Pa E. K. Clark, King Alfred Diete Spiff, His Excellency Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, Ankio Briggs, Joseph Eva, Patrick Fufein, Pastor Good, the children of late Pa Isaac Adaka Boro, past and present military personnel from the Niger Delta region. “Past and present governors from the Niger Delta, past and present senators and Houses of Representatives members. “Finally all sons and daughters of Niger Delta Republic to come to Kaiama for the official declaration of the Niger Delta Republic.” Independent recalls that on Wednesday, July 20, leaders of the Hausa and Yoruba communities in Warri dismissed ABA’s August 1 ultimatum to leave the South South.
One Mallam Rabiu Abdulraman, leader of Hausa youths in the town who spoke in Hausa Quarters, Igbudu area of Warri, said while the Ijaw militants had the right to agitate “for whatever they claim to be their right, they should also remember that other law-abiding Nigerian citizens who believe in the unity of the country have their rights to be protected and live in any part of the country of their choice.”
Similarly, Mr. Abiodun Oguntomisin, a Yoruba youth, said that no group could chase away Yoruba people from any part of Nigeria.
He said that the Yoruba also have militant group in Nigeria known to all and warned the Niger Delta militants to rethink their decision.
Oguntommisin accused the militants of pursuing a selfish agenda and added that “nobody will benefit from this unbridled brigandage of the Niger Delta militants.
Their leaders and our so-called human rights groups should call them to order now instead of keeping quiet in the face of the wreckage they are causing the nation because of imagined or perceived marginalisation by successive governments.”
Independent further recalls that ADA had on Tuesday, July 5, indicated that it would team up with the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) to attack more oil installations in the Niger Delta.
The activities of these militant groups have negatively affected Nigeria’s crude oil production and sales. As at May 2016, Nigeria’s oil production had dropped to 1.65m barrels a day, the lowest output in 22 years, as a result of resurgence of militant activities in the Niger Delta region.
Meanwhile, Ultimate Warriors of Niger Delta (UWND), an affiliate of the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), alleged on Sunday that the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), which recently unveiled the names of some respected leaders from the region to negotiate on behalf of the militants, is only working to free Henry and Charles Okah.
MEND had earlier confirmed that it was in talks with the Federal Government to end attacks on oil pipelines in the Niger Delta region and urged the Federal Government to ignore NDA, whose members it described as criminals.
Explorers: On May 28, 2013, divers in the wreckage of theJacson-4 were attempting a triage of the vessel, which 100 feet down off the coast of Nigeria after capsizing. What they didn't expect to find was a survivor.
Harrison Okene was the ship's cook. He was in the bathroom around 4am when the boat capsized upside down, and tried to reach an emergency exit hatch but failed. The boat began to fill with water with Okene trapped inside about 100ft below the ocean surface in complete darkness wearing only boxers. Eventually, he found himself trapped with a four square foot bubble of air with a cocacola. He knew he was running out of oxygen so he found a safe corner of the ship and used mattresses to block out water and created air pocket. After three days, he had given up hope. All the while, Okene heard sharks and barracudas fighting over the remains of his shipmates. Then he heard a knock, it was the hammer of the divers working on the surface of the ship. Okene surviving for 62 hour to the shock of the rescue divers, Okene was given diving gear and he was brought to a decompression chamber, where he had to spend two days. He had been at depths that should have killed him in a situation that took the lives of everyone else on board.
Unsurprisingly, he vowed never to go out to sea again.

ezekielly: Last year 2015, two month after my Nysc, we were scammed by fraudster. My grandma received an internationally of which the person claimed to be one of our relatives. Amazingly, my grandma replied, are u baba gbolahan? The man said yes... Then I was curious to speak with him as well. Along the line, he called back again that he was bringing some goods he bought from UK with E500. Inside of me, I was very happy that yes! "Today na today" no knowing that this man is scamming us. He called the 3rd time that those goods would reach us in 2-3 hours time and we must tell his dad it. so we began to wait but nothing of such happen. He called again that he needed some money to run his work permit which would cost him 100k so my grandma replied him that she didn't even such amount. So we decided to help with the sum of 35k . Later on, he called me to convince her very well that I should not worry about d stress I was going through that soonest he's coming to picking me up, prepare my international passport nd visa so as to join him in UK. Moreso, I did all he asked me to do. I call again that the man coming with the goods is @ airport because he sent his number to me. I was curious to meet that person but nobody appeared. Some hours later, he called me again that the money is not enough to clarify the work permit and he needed to get a form again. so i quickly rushed to bank and single-handedly withdrew 35k and send it to the acc num he sent to us. Lastly, the man I was excepting to come didn't show up oo. The baba gbolahan asked me to send anoda 5k to the man. He told me that goods has been siezed by custom officials, so I didn't hesistate to send it, I waited and waited but nobody appeared. Then I began to reason, was i charmed or how?. But the annoying part was the money i sent to him which was the part of money saved during my Nysc. I cried and cried but that couldn't the situation. Please beware of people who claim be your relative from abroad...don't put their call or attempt to receive it.
There is a way to answer such schamer once u pick his call and he told u he was ur relative somewhere in abroad u will start to narrate him a fake story by remind him how his dad was beating to death for stealing, how his mum was kill by road accident nobody go ask am b4 he hag up the call
