u dey mind them

they are happy when soldiers are killed but cry foul when other soldiers retaliate, enemies of the state must be treated as who they are

Soldiers should retaliate by killing the militants who attacked. They should not retaliate by starving innocent citezens (including women and children) in the bush and shooting at people randomly right inside their church. Those are not traits of a sane army. Those are heights of cowardice.

plaetton:
It's funny that Nigerians don't seem to know what they expect from their leaders.

Ben Bruce Murray brings a new and refreshing quality that attempts to demystify leadership in Nigeria.

I find it sad that people criticize and Mock him for putting himself out there in the public sphere , on Twitter, to engage Nigerians on daily issues, unscripted and unrehearsed.

In the history of Nigerian politics, no elected officer has ever had the time and humility to climb down from ' Mount Olympus' to engage casually and cordially with the citizenry, the people on whose trust and behalf they exercise their powers.

BMB should be celebrated as A First, a one of a kind mutation in the difficult evolution of good, responsible and responsive leadership in Nigeria.

Pls carry on BMB.

Big bros. I wanted to scream out in sheer pleasure due to the super estcacy astonishinly stoked in me by the awesomeness of this pure masterpiece. But then I looked up the monica and saw it was you. Thus I rejoiced knowing that I was not being suprised by a stranger. Thank you a million times for making your hard-earned intellignece useful to many. And I thank God too for his mercy that has kept you up and doing.

FYI, I did not curse you one bit. Any percieved curses are only those you're ignorantly placing on yourself when you miopically celeberate and support injustice and cold-blooded mass-murder in the name of "freedom of expression".

What's the problem of all these mentally lazy administrators, mocking God with all these theatrics of theirs!! All these public display to court sympathy!! God does miracles not magic.

The holy book said "work” and pray"...

He has worked and is now praying. Why are you contradicting yourself?

Nigeria's unity is non negotiable. What was Kunu doing with weapons the time he was arrested?

What d ipods are doing is treason and u know what is the penalty for that. pls don't choose to be deliberate ignorant, stick with the truth even if it pains... admit it

Only a brainless person would believe that BIG FAT LIE. And only a walking dead devoid of conscience would spew an obvious crap from NPF as fact.

NPF has no capacity to dispense facts let alone truth.

Here's proof:

1. This year NPF killed a PH student and denied it.

2. This year NPF allowed mascre in NIMBO and denied it ever happened. In fact they even gave an "official statement" (like that lying demon in asaba just did) and called nimbo invasion by fulani herdsmen an "inter communal conflict"

3. Up till this very moment the NPF's official stand is that agatu masacre never happened.

Only a walking dead would accept NPF's official position as fact.

These group that's being murdered in cold blood were out for COMMEMORATION not even for a protest. Only a lunatic would believe that an unarmed group that's out on a peaceful event would suddenly go to confront an army-vehiecle.

But for everyone that's shamelessly lusting for igbo blood in any way, without remorse and sympathy, I decree and declare today that the very thing you imagine against igbos will engulf you like a whirlwind and consume you very fast like a wilde flame. Your fate is sealed now. Now is your moment of judgement.

But for the igbo nation, people and friends, it will be longevity, peace, and prosperity all the way.

Amakortee:
I am coming

***modified

with the voice of an elder, I am speaking to the youths of this generation and precisely to the IPOB. ur actual aim of confronting the force men TODAY was to create a scene and attract the attention of the government. Now there is disruption of lives and properties in Asaba . Do u know that just like u were not perturbed when Boko haram was destroying Borno state, same way the people up North read and ignore whatever happens down South. The federal government is not even moved at all. let's rather organize ourselves and hold this government accountable for not creating jobs. I rest my case.

I am rather suprised that an elder like you could be gullible enough to believe a cheap lie like this coming from the chronic lying entity like NPF.

Listen, no amount of emotional blackmail will suffice with this government. I am even angry he has not visited "odi treatment" on some of these communities aiding and abetting the terrorists.

Forget whatever you all think, the oil and every gaddem resource found anywhere in Nigeria is our collective wealth. QED!

The oil is your collective wealth but the perpetual enviromental decadence caused by oil extraction remains the exclusive pain of the host community, right? How wicked!!

Well, you thought you made sense, what you did not realize is that your insensitivity is a seed you are actively sowing into your own personal atmosphere and will surely keep reaping.

divineappo:
Pls who determines the value of d naira in d parallel market? Pls dont tell me its forces of demand and supply, dat economics bullshit is wat d elite uses in destroying dis nation.

You call it bullshit because you don't understand how the world works. The only thing your brain is wired to crave is manipulative control.

bappahman:
As a former President with strong influence in the Niger Delta, Goodluck Jonathan should as a matter of civic and patriotic duty Condemn the illegal activities and violence of the Niger Delta Avengers

Really? Go Otuoke and tell him that.

The only question any sensible human beign should ask is: "Why are these legnthy MEDIA explanations coming up now after their attempts on denial failed woefly?" Ignore tgem joor. It's all hot lies. The national hate for the fulanis is at all time high. They have also met the unexpected when they dared to test their agatu experimwnt in igboland. So their elites are doing double duty to launder them. But we know the truth. May be they should ALSO EXPLAIN WHY A WHOLE LGA IN AGATU WAS SACKED AND 100S MURDERED.

greggng:
You can insult me but you cannot take away the truth. Deal with the remote cause so that immediate causes will be a thing of the past. Immediate causes will result in fatalities and death of many. In a nutshell people ve right to defend themselves when they re under attack.

That's the point. Youvare unable to think yet you see yourself as an intellectual. What is the root cause of, for example, the kidnapping of two women that went to their farms in Awgwu recently? What was the root cause of kidnapping a rev. fr. and collecting a ransome of 700k? What is the root cause of randy fulani men raping innocent local women (sometimes in the presence of their husbands) while brandishing their state procured AK47s? What exactly is wrong with your mind?

greggng:
... Stop rustling their cow. If there cow eats ur agric product, there re proper channels to solve this issues instead of taking the law into ur hands....

You are just very annoying.

So there are no proper chennels to deal with cow rustlers apart from sacking a whole community and killing women and children in their sleep? Or is it only the farmers that the laws are made for? How about the women that get routinely raped and kidnapped in their farms by these hardsmen? Are you suggesting that these women were cow rustlers too?

Young man please keep quiet there and stop saying things you do not know anything about. It's very obvious that you don't have the ability to think critically.

Going through what this man is saying, there is sense in it except you read with a biased mind.


I think the real enemy is the politicians that are using the media for polical reasons.


I only pity the president, now all blame on him, his people are looking forward that now that our brother is there, we can at least be a bit safe.

And every other person us just waiting for him to talk and mention Fulani herdsmen, then climb down on him. No wonder he was silent all the while.

He is himself a herdsman, much complain has come to him I'm sure even before he became the president. It is true I know that they are more prone to attach because they're always in the open, and people have been taking advantage of them.

I do not justify their actions of recent, however I believe they're also human, they also need the govt. They also need security, yes they're also fellow citizen of the federal republic of Nigeria, and to be candid elsewhere outside Nigeria, I'll call them brothers. C'mon, let's treat them right.

Lease out a particular area to them, help to ensure they are safe and secure where they graze. Get them licence where it becomes neccesarry. Receive monthly or quarterly report of their development from their representative. You can subject them to tax if you believe they earn so much.


I believe we can do more than just spewing hatred on the Fulani's. Let's show them the way to love.

[/s]

You see, this is the one that gets me cracked up. Unfortunately this kind of lopsided public sympathy is what that dude up there hopes to acheive with his silly propaganda. Unless you are a certified lunatic, no amount of the touted cow rustling or manufactured killing of the fulanis will ever justify the Agatu or Nimbo routine genocides. No crapy excuse or lunacy will cover the fact that the state had been spornsoring these maf folks.

Can you imagine? What an arrant nonsense? A whole local govt. in Benue ( and a whole town in Enugu) was sacked and hundresds of natives were murdered in cold-blod, and your types (just like the omenka of this world) are here displaying your lunacy.

Until we differentiate between the rights of citezens and those of their cows we will keep running around the issue.

The fulani man has the right to free movement everywhere in Nigeria, but, unfortunately, his cow does not have any of such rights. And trouble comes when you think you can extend your human right to your cows at the detriment of the survival of your host comnunity.

Siddeek:
I wish pmb will allow them to bomb the entire niger delta and lets see who will suffer most.

Don't worry. Shey you think this is a joke? Light is already off, soon fuel supply will dry up. By the time you sleep two nights in that your rat hole (without fan) your brain will reset.

iniestar1:
So u conveniently conclude that Nigeria avengers and federal government are pdp and apc right?

Sorry, go and meet your english teacher. The word "party" does not always mean political parties.

iniestar1:
Abeg Niger deltans should kwontinue...... Kip blowing oil rigs, destroying ur arable lands and aquatic waterways. In fact when sheriff Buhari begins d clampdown on u ppl, shoot missiles and contaminate the remaining uncontaminated areas. What u ppl don't seem to think on is that at the end there is no winner. Am sure u would still want to return to ur hometown one day. U ppl shouted n shouted abt Kanu, when Nnamdi Kanu was arrested, d noise reduced a bit. U live in Lagos supporting militancy in Niger delta, the God of dose suffering over dere is watching you. In fact bomb the whole Niger delta power Rangers abi wat are dey called, we are solidly behind you.
Never u choose violence over peace, the end result may be satisfying but devastating.

You are correct. Unfortunately problem arises when you hypocritically ignore the other side of the issue, conviniently forgeting that it takes at least two opposing parties to have a fight.

Stalwert:
You don finish the guy oti pari how anyone defend criminals beats me. ... govt would have used the money and share directly to the villagers in such community than rewarding greedy fools who are treacherous.

It beats me how fools keep celeberating their foolishness as smartness. The govt. that gave them the contract was not looking for folks to dash money. Please let this sink into your skull for good - the idea of the impoverised indigenous survillence contracts (no mattar how unconventional it was) was to guarantee peace and security of oil facilites in the ND area - and we all enjoyed that peace and security in ND for 7 years.

Now you have removed those "silly contracts" in your smartness, how come peace is now eluding us?

Bible says that the path of wisdom is full of peace and pleasantness.

In other words, if your policy is not breeding peace where you NEED it that's a sure biblical proof that you are not yet wise enough. It does not matter if you think you are the best thing that had ever happened to humanity since aristotle.

omonnakoda:
I agree 100% with their agitation but being right without a plan is foolish. This approach will achieve little and lose much..The agitators have shown themselves to be cheap opportunists lacking commitment to true change. We only need to look at the likes of Tompolo and Asari Dokubo.

The starting point is this. What is their real objective? They seem to be very confused. This has nothing to do with faulty fulcrum or whatever you call it. Why did they accept the Amnesty programme if not for selfishness. Why did they keep quiet under Jonathan? I say this not because I side with the government but to point out that these particular agitators are not the Messiah of the Delta they are selfish opportunists

FYI the NDA made it clear that they were not part of the armnesty programme.

bender79:
Why should he beware a bunch of scums sabotaging their own land and people ...oil is going extinct and very soon it will not matter,they should continue

EXACTLY! What I don't understand is why the govt. is bent on fighting and wasting national resources over a comodity that's going extinct. Who is deceiving who then?

koladebrainiac:
And ask what yyorubs hausas
Fulanis too want. Everybody is surfering.

We both destroyed these our country n we will both solve it together. No one is leaving . the British married us together n we sign for better for worse. We will both surfer the worse n the best of it together. When the best comes then decide if you want to stay or not.

You see your mindset? It's exactly this type of thinking pattern that fuels the agitation for separation. FYI though, the marriage expired in 2014.

DaBullIT:
1 Timothy 6:18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share,

Luke 3:11 And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”

Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Isaiah 58:7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

Galatians 6:6 One who is taught the word must share all good things with the one who teaches.

Luke 6:29-30 To one who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from one who takes away your cloak do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back.

[size=18pt] EVEN THE BIBLE WANTS YOU TO SHARE AND GIVE [/size] (TILL IT HURTS )

Sharing stops being sharing when it is forced. In fact forced sharing is called ROBBERY. So quit twisting the Bible. If the ND had the power to SHARE THEIR RESOURCES why then are they clamouring for its control? Dummy.

TheNonce:



So all along, the so called 'herdsmen' na 'igalas' sef? Okay! That means our fulani mallams are off the hook for now! Na to face lokoja straight!

It seems you have a serious problem with basic comprehension.

arbitter:
So apparently Niger Delta 'Avengers' and their fellow militants have decided they wanna cripple Nigeria's economy, so theyre going around blowing pipes and sabotaging other Oil facilities down there. Hmmm, how amusing.

Even more amusing is the Keyboard warriors (lets be realistic most of them are phone warriors actually), that spend their time on social media hyping these guys and egging them on.


So whats the point exactly? They say they want this and that and whatever. But mostly Resource control and a Soverein conference is what i see mostly floating around. BOTH of these things they could simply have pushed their Representatives and Senators to demand and im pretty sure that would have been a more efficient route. DID YOU KEYBOARD WARRIORS AND YOUR MILITANT heroes ever try this? Nope! Didnt think so. They prefer to sabotage the Economy, because that makes so much sense.

Maybe they should bomb their Reps and Senators houses if theyre not getting their attentions right now, that should definitely do it. Those guys could deliver their demands and get them their demands way faster and I SEMM TO REMEMBER THATS ACTUALLY THEIR FUCKING JOB!, YOURE ASKING BUHARI TO DO THIS AND THAT, LAST TIME I CHECKED THE PRESIDENT DIDNT WRITE THE CONSTITUTION AND ISNT SOME UNILATERAL RULER.

SURE youre getting attention right now, why wouldnt you since youre crippling the country, which im sure you think has zero effects on you. NEWSFLASH: It actually does, not only right now, But lets say even if you were to magically get your secession OR resource control by next month, you'd still have to live with the consequence of damaging your lands and chasing foreign oil companies away (im sure you all think they would just magically come back and shore up your 'new nations economy after you sabotaged them eh).

I highly doubt youre all that stupid to have that sort of reasoning, SO it means the only logical explanation left is that this is basically all about you wanting to SABOTAGE Buharis government. Not really a secret that one too, i mean youre blatantly gloating that this is some revenge because Boko Haram was used to chase out GEJ? First of all , I think its cute how you think Jonathan was voted out Exclusively because of Boko Haram. And second of all, youre conspiracy oriented bullshit is really not a solid argument. You have zero proof that anyone conspired to fund Boko Haram, so they go kill off Northerners (something you were so Rejoicing over and still ARE), and if that were the case, WHY is Boko Haram still a thing now? (also something you're gloating over), Seriously pick a narrative and stick with it. You cant claim Boko Haram is a conspiracy against GEJ then also gloat about them basically destroying a part of the North and rail against Buhari for not stopping them. Such two faced bullshit is just lame.

So to Recap, After Buhari won and took over. You were all riled up and throwing tantrums and wishing him failure of course. Then ofcourse since Oil prices fell the impact hit Nigeria as it hit every other Country AND BY THE WAY STILL WOULD HAVE HAPPENED REGARDLESS OF WHO'S IN OFFICE , this is for you numbnuts that go around boasting that people who voted Buhari deserve this situation, that makes zero sense.

SO as you know we've all been telling you 4 years is a long time and you simply ranting and wishing Buhari to fail aint gonna do jackshit. So obviously you then decided WELL, why not Sabotage him then, THEN AFTERWARDS we can finally be at peace with ourselves and be happy that he failed (with much help from you of course). Hence all this bullshit.

AND dont even try to tell me otherwise. THERES OBVIOUSLY A SIMPLE solution to your so called demands for Resource Control and/Or Secession, SIMPLY have your elected Representatives do it for you. IF YOU FOR SOME REASON DONT BELIEVE IN THAT SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WHY SPEND SO MUCH ENERGY ON THE RECENT RIVERS ELECTIONS AND ALL THE OTHERS THAT TOOK PLACE? DIDNT SEEM LIKE IT WAS MEANINGLESS TO YOU THEN? WHY FIGHT TOOTH AND NAIL TO ELECT ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN THE FIRST PLACE? I seriously would have thought you would use that Opportunity to send your Pro South Agenda folks to the National Assembly BUUUT ofcourse since youre all Halfwits you just wanted to show off your so called grievances and vote random ldiots that ally with your preferred Politicians.


I rest my case.

[/s]

All this long wound ranting is foolish and hypocritical. We had peace in Niger Delta since the past 7 years. This crisis is coming up because the country is totally insincere about economic diversification.

For example:

1. In my opinon, I think we provoked these militants by taking away their survillence contracts, trying to brand them as terrorists and maligning them on the media - knowing so well what the outcome would be. The only reason we (the nation) are hell bent on troubling ND is because we are not serious about leaving oil behind. If we are serious we would pay whatever it takes to mentain peace in that area so we can quickly generate and reallocate funds to other sectors ASAP. Going to war in ND thetefore shows we are so stuck with oil and are not planning to loose our grips on the rigs any time soon. Your claim of a theoritical drive towards economic diversification is just a hot lie.

2. Oil exploration in the chad basin (at this time of gross economic turbulence) is another move that betrays our chronic unwillingness to move away from oil dependency.

3. Allocating more money to propaganda as opposed to agriculture still goes to show how dishonest we are about economic diversification.

In conclusion, while blowing up the pipelines and other oil installations is extreme, watching PMB's Ajazeera interview the other time showed that proper negotiation with the militants was not on the table.

So please this a serious issue, thus I advice you to quit treating it with kids' gloves

nnachukz:
Zombies with ingested active pain inhabitting drug will attack ASUU for saying the obvious truth. The drug has made them not to feel any pain even at the point of death.

Bros, wake up, what that guy said IS NOT the obvious truth. You don't get it. What that guy just voiced is the grand scheme of APC. He is only using the ASUU as a shadow to take the heat for the government, stir up public sentiment, and make it seem like APC's socialist ideology is a result of having listened to the so called ASUU intelectuals.

See, this grand scheme to turn nigeria into a socialist state had been on with the APC for ages. This has been going on under-ground for years now - even before APC was formed - and I think this movement is led by folks like Oshimole, Sanusi and Elrufai. Buhari is there just to clear the grounds for them.

Unless pdp takes over power in 2019 then we all are done as long as freedom and INDIVIDUAL prosperity is concerned in this country.

I think APC is out to destroy capital in this country. They want to squeeze the few hardworking individuals in nigeria in order to fund the majority of the lazy bones. That's what they mean by "social welfare"

Wake up guys.

MORNDEW:
is it that some of you are so bleeped up that abnormality has become normal? Giving surveilance of contract to millitants nd u applaud such move?

If abnormality is your definition of peace and prosperity then so be it. And if your idea of normality is anarchy, economic chaos and national blackout then let it be for your likes alone. One thing you should know though is that folks rarely eat their cakes and still keep it.

Stalwert:

Please desist from disturbing my mentionswith your criminal loving views there are plenty of bars to share your disgusting views in.

Crime runs in your dna and had so blured your mind from all logic and sensitivity. By the way the last time I checked this is a public forum, second, I actually REPLIED your rant on my mention.

Stalwert:
Your view is saddening so a few criminals share security money that can better be used to help the generality of nd people and increase our military capabilities is what you insist is the path to peace? I dont understand how anyone defends criminality you hardly benefit from.

So the govt. that awarded the contracts were fools, right? I guess you are now seeing the results of your sound reasoning? The cancelation of those contracts just goes to show that govt. is not serious about taking nigeria off the zone of oil dependency. If they were truly honest about diversification they would do EVERYTHING to maintain peace in the ND until all other sectors of national economy kick off and become sustainable.

If a few individuals (as you think) could guarantee peace in that region it's foolish to disengage them when you still DEPEND solely on their region for your very survival and has no alternative means to effective security and peace.

ogmask:
... Where were they when Jonathan held sway?....

NDA is a case of a lizard seeing himself a crocodile.

He gave them pipelines survilence contract - and we all had peace, and oil business soared. But fast forward to 2016, some peace-hating-jerk-heads canceled the survilence contracts without notice - even though there was no better alternative. Now the cost of their survilence is proving to be way cheaper compared to the cost of the ongoing anarchy.

Wisdom, not power, is the first step to effective leadership
