Image123: Eager to talk bad about everyone but this administration. You can't take it away that she held on absolutely fine during her watch as head of the finance team, in the words of oby ezekwesili "the economy is now your problem". No offence to present company, but Okonjo and Kemi are miles apart on issue of competence. 1 Like 1 Share |
Politics / Re: Niger Delta Avengers Gives Conditions For Talks With Nigerian Govt by NavierStokes(m): 11:03am On Jun 14, 2016 |
Dear TonyeBarcanista what is selfish about their calling for a cease-fire? Concerned people wanted them to come to the table, which they have, but not without demonstrating that they have the upperhand by giving conditions of status quo (no repairs) and genuineness in the part of FG without which they will sink oil tankers( this group has obviously made good all their threats). They also requested for independent mediators to be nominated by IOCs. http://www.rigzone.com/news/oil_gas/a/145062/Nigerian_Militants_Insist_on_Foreign_Mediators_for_Talks_with_Government?utm_source=DailyNewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=2016-06-14&utm_content=&utm_campaign=industry_headlines_2So far to me this is the closest to sincerity this Niger Delta struggle has come. They haven't made any further demands that are self serving or against the interest of the region, so so far I give them the benefit of doubt. PS: I never saw anywhere the AVengers said they will not dialogue, their statement only buttressed the fact that at the time they were not in any negotiations and whoever government was negotiating with was definitely not them. I remain highly interested in this case to see how it all fizzles out, while at the same time advising government to view this as a low hanging fruit they can quickly grab to save the situation, some demands are unrealistic others are beneficial to the region, that's why it's called a negotiation or dialogue, people meet each other in the middle and the outcome should be a win win for both parties with no party feeling exploited or weaker at the end of the day. 1 Like |

Happy belated birthday ma, to think some ignorant ones have been here saying you can't dare to step foot in Nigeria and you had their yams. You not only came in to Nigeria you came to celebrate. Bad news for haters, "some people no go fit sleep", please I beg you Ma. since you are in Abuja kindly give Kemi some schooling before you travel, obviously somebody needs a crash course of MIT lessons to guide and steer a 21st century Top 25 economy. 32 Likes 1 Share |

2 pages of senseless comments. These boys so far have proved to be different from the other selfish groups that have got themselves entangled with corrupt politicians traditional rulers and the corrupt employees of the IOCs. The fact that they requests for independent mediators lends credence to their integrity, if they were after money they wouldn't have had any need to cause this much destruction. All the same I am interested in seeing how this new bit of information reshapes the geopolitical scene in the coming days. PS: government should approach this with all genuineness of purpose, these boys demands can relatively easily be negotiated with a beneficial outcome for all parties. Long live a restructured Nigeria, Long Live all regions of a restructured Nigeria. |

SleekAboki: I'll plead with you to ignore that guy. They come on here ranting up and down forgetting that indirectly everything in an economy like ours is tied to oil. Less oil production---lower revenue---less forex---increased capital controls----adverse effect on commerce----reduced disposable income---exposed banking sector----reduced tax receipts and customs receipts---inability to meet budget projections--increased social unrest---etc. |

I am Currently in port harcourt. The Airforce jets have been flying around for the past couple of days (2 days back) probably on reconnaissance IMO. There are no militant camps within the city of port harcourt and possibly not many critical surface pipelines coursing the city ( except that going to bonny) So for people like Quotasystem who are expecting some sort of war, if there will ever be one, it can not be from within the city. All these goes to reveal the people who know nothing about the Niger Delta and just type nonsense from their bedrooms in a faraway land. The airforce jet to me is a single jet on reconnaissance, I even took two videos from Thursday and Friday. Ps: don't even bank on that piece of heavy WWII junk metal, flying subsonic to Perform magic if it ever gets to that. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

It was only 2 days ago I was suggesting to someone that Boroh should be sacked and Dr Tuodolo should be given that position which he rightly deserved but was given to Kingsley Kuku. Tuodolo is the one these militants will all listen to and not Timi Alaibe. Tuodolo Felix birthed the struggle, founder of the IYC past president-Europe of the INC, and co signatory to the Kaiama declaration. No one at this time is better placed to engage the youths of the region. |

You can never defeat an idea with force, rather you defeat an idea with a superior idea. Government should comeout and let us as citizens know why true federalism can not work otherwise they should return the system to true federalism from where we all started. Using force will only be shifting the goal post or saving the battle for another day. 8 Likes |

tempest01: "The Archives" is not an incinerator, moreover even if it were, there are copies out there that can easily be printed. we can contribute money for printing if the government has no ink. On a lighter note, the President is at liberty to look at it, take the progressive parts and jettison the areas that were not addressed properly, but to shred a 9billion naira document capable of bringing rapid peace and development to the country, I don't see that happening. |

olusogo: For the former your line of reasoning stems from the law made by a decrees initiated by a wicked fellow in khaki uniform, if the resources are not a blessing to the people on whose lands it is found then it becomes a curse and the people will have to do something about it (as they are currently doing). As per the latter you are getting it all wrong, as I believe will become clear to all in the coming days that the avengers are nothing like has been seen before, I see that already and wonder why those in government haven't seen it as different. If these boys wanted peanuts they would not have gone this extent, right now I see a group that has crossed the Rubicon and must go all out against "pompey". |

Shukuakukobambi: Sorry for my typos and lack of punctuation, it's baffling when something capable of bringing lasting peace, progress and prosperity becomes a "recurring decimal" from year to year from one government to the next. Bring power closer, make the states become more competitive and watch each region progress. Then let's see the local politician who will sit in peace while everyone around him Is yet to have breakfast. Only by having some small change in the midst of the poor you will feel unsafe not to talk about when people I is you are sitting on their wealth just within their community, they will eat you alive. My community where I come from in delta state we never have reports of anyone usurping what is due the community my brother they will descend on you. This is the age of enlightenment and people are becoming more political aware of their rights and it's not enough to use the military approach of the last to whip them into line. If that approach had worked we will not be here today. On a serious note I get scared seeing the angry look on people's faces when I drive around town now you can only "ball" when far away and lie low at home, how much more politicians. |

Shukuakukobambi: Yea but I'm a serious note as one Nigeria the government should do more to engage these communities, tow the last of true federalism and allow them have a greater shake in their resources. Doesn't make sense where a place you and I can not stay for 2 hrs to work, is home to owners on these vast resources. Some of those swamps in Bayelsa are no go areas for a sane human but home to these people. |

farihafaheemah: Well culture is relative, don't be ethnocentric my friend. Else where people settle scores with other means especially when the first means isn't even heard. You haven't really had your rights trampled upon by an oppressor. I give you an example, rampaging fulani herdsmen, you cry to the authorities they say nothing rather try to beat you to silence, you continue writing? I leave you to answer that bro. Like I said injustice is injustice no matter how it's painted, I may be comfortable but what about others who can not access clean water, or education even light despite siting on humongous gas reserves. 1 Like |

farihafaheemah: You personalized your response to me bro ( I am not an avenger and by God's grace should I chose to be selfish will never have a reason to agitate, but then I am one lucky mate out of millions), so i will assume my response on a personal note too.Which part of this country hasn't had her leaders loot their commonwealth. For you to say the agitations are not justifiable shows you lack empathy. The question should be what has Nigeria done with 87% given to her by the Niger Delta, has your state governors turned your land into an Eldorado? The blame transcends to many fronts, everyone has a share of the blame to take (locals, politicians, federal iocs Britain etc) But restructuring should be a starting point not an end in itself. |

The same beans whose ban was reported to have been lifted due to Buhari's foreign trips? The authorities should do the right thing and Buhari wouldn't need to travel to negotiate beans export as our trade partners will buy naturally. 7 Likes |
