Achilies:
Why do people keep compering the Niger deltans with the south east when it comes to war?

The igbos lost the civil war mainly because of bad preparation on their side and betrayal on the side of some of their allies.

I think they have learned from their mistake and will take the proper and necessary steps to ensure that history did not repeat it self..

When I look at the map of Nigeria I can not help but wonder how a region so small and less prepared and equipped can hold the Nigerian army in an out right guerilla warfare for three years before defeat..

Had it been that the biafran army were more equipped and got the necessary support as the Nigeria army do you think they will be defeated by the Nigerian army? I don't think so..

Mend is not and will never be in the same category with the biafran revolutionary force... so please stop comparing them...

For the fact that the Revolutionary force lost the biafran war does not mean that we should underestimate them at this age and time.

Mend and biafran force are not the same
Please take note..

They should ask the older igbo poeple about biafra. They will tell u they dont want to witness it again. May be that's why GEJ has not been given arms out to military boys to fight BH. Who knows? No to violence.

I laugh when I hear some people talk about war like it is an ordinary strEet fight between Iya Sikira and Mama Chidi over a stall at the market.

War brings nothing but destruction and he who starts a war does not know what the end will look like.

The likes of Tompolo, Asari-Dokubo and the rest talking about war have never witnessed one before and pls don't compare the militancy operation in the Niger Delta with one. Majority of them will run away when the chips are down only to return years later to be self acclaimed war loords while lots of other lives and properties has already been lost. Afterall, they have nothing to loose.

Govt Tompolo and Asari-Dokubo were known for fighting for the rights of SS/NDelta until the amnesty and multi billion naira contracts were awarded to them. They (militants not ex) instead of investing in the NDelta or giving back to the helpless youth on the streets of NDelta they take their money and investments abroad, move around in convoy, gather chieftaincy titles and grow pot bellies.

When it seems like its not going to be business as usual, they resort to threat and begin to remind the unsuspecting Ndeltans that the North is against them so as to get their sympathy.

To help the people of NDelta unravel the mysery, please consider the following questions:

1. Has the FG not been giving out money and contracts to the Militants since the amnesty?

2. What are the contributions of the said militants to the region since amnesty and contract sharing?

3. Does any of the militants bother reinvesting in the region?

4. Does any of them have an investment outside the region, in the country or abroad? If yes, why?

5. Has GEJ been able to impact on and develop the region considerably in the last 6years of his rule? If no, why?

6. Why did the Militants keep quiet over non-development of the area (ND) in the last 6yrs (still)?

7. Why does the Militants want GEJ re-elected if he has not been able to develop the NDelta or atleast do somthing meaningful to impact +ly on the region in the last 6years?

8. Could the Militants have contributed to the reason why GEJ could't even do much to develop the region?

My ppl from the NDelta, pls don't allow illiterates to push you around. Atleast you need to consider your strenght (population, arm etc) before calling for war.

I believe your strength should be based on intelligence and technicality which is acclaimed to be the best weapon in winning a battle.

It is not possible.

You have boko haram to contend with. You cannot risk Niger delta militants too. They will ensure that even the $40 per barrel, you wont see anyone. That oil price that Buhari wants to stabilize.

Commonsense is not far fetched.

Buhari equates Boko haram( without ideology) to Niger Delta militants (with ideology).

It is not hard to see that Niger delta was fighting for their rights and to have a share of mineral blessings on their land. What exactly is boko haram fighting for ?

Anyone who thinks Jonathan won't be President till 2019 is just joking..

mend force and biafra force are not the same abi? Were u born b4 biafran war? If Ojukwu a military man with all his courage and forthrightness could run away when the battle was hot, i cant see asari dokubo or tompolo dare what Ojukwu did. They are just making noise, them go run. Militancy cant be the same as military. Khaki no be leather. We are watching and waiting.

guy don't ever pray for war ooo. But the moment when negotiation fails.... the northern and southwest part of the country will be business as usual. The south south will be the war front. Trust me...u will prefer to be in hell at that perilous tym dan to be in southern nigeria. .

all the mediocres that is following tompolo to beat the drum of war has forgotten that most of these militant's investments are not in nigeria.
they are just spewing trash to protect their source of food not because of one CLEVVERMIND dat can't spot basic difference btw spade and shovel.

See if GEJ should be unfortunate enough to loose. ..HE is so much on his own. This so called PDP's chieftain will disappear into tin air.

bushdoc9919:
You know....you are not much different from the Northern man on the street. Infact you are his mirror image.

Your governors and local leaders are lazy. That is why you, and for that matter the North are under developed. And the fact that you are talking the way you talk shows that GEJ has not developed your region well enough....else you would have felt confident enough to change to another leader (not Buhari...old relic of the past).Go and reform them. Stop looking at Abuja.

War does no one any good.

PerfectFortune:
Ameachi has retracted that and as for the Northerners, you know how they can be - very gullible with due respect to the good sane ones.

Besides, those statements were made before the peace pact was signed and to an extent they have refrained from repeating such.

My write-up is only to remind the SS/NDeltans that they may not be far from becoming as barbaric as the "Northerners" if care is not taken.

Intelligence is the best option. With that you can achieve much and get the "West" to support you.

That I want to believe is the strength of the SWesterners...

IbokUtoroh:
for howmany yrs hv they been enjoyng the amnesty deal? Can u compare the yrs of amnesty to that of northern rulers?
Bros weada dem invest or not, naija will backfire come 14 if the northerners want to play wif our senses. We own d oil they can take back the name naija.

PerfectFortune:
I understand why you are saying this. Atleast you still have access to the internet, three square meal or more daily, a roof over your head, a girlfriend or a wife, mother and father, sisters and brothers.

By the time the WAR starts, NDeltans will start by killing each other just like in the North, telecom comps will be forced to close down, families displaced, no food to eat cos nobody to farm.

Tompolo and Asari will go into exile leaving you to your own. Then you will understand what WAR really means.

clevvermind:
i don't know of anybody but i am ready for the war. we the Niger Delta people are not scared. we are set.

I am from the South west, and I believe there is a gang up aginst the South south people because whoever emerges the President will see over the license renewals of the oil blocks that are due in 2016.......I am not a fan of Jonathan, but I will support him for re election. The generals backing Buhari only want the nothing but the oil....they want to maintain their grip on the oil and Jonathan is being seeing as an obstacle....The insurgency was intensified to discredit this administration.........Thank God oil is not in the North, the whole Nigeria would have been enslaved.,,.......But I think we all need to let the North know that they can't continue Ato dictate for all Nigerians......
