Stop making a fool of yourself. Obasanjo did everything within his power to end the militancy but couldn't. The elevation of the then Governor GEJ to vp was done to placate the militants.

The creeks terrain do not favour the Nigerian army. The Niger delta militants would make a mince meat of them

ki02020:
I dont think the contract should not be suddenly terminated.rather it should be properly negotiated where by the money being paid equate the job the job it being paid for......even if the APC led govt decide to use survallance tech for the area the ex millitants can act a backup for the tecnology.....there is no point going going fully tech when you abundant labour

claycares:
I bet you this your chat is not correct, even the iocs will not accept this. Where are your sources?

haryhorku:
Obasanjo did all what he could do to fight militancy and vandalism in his own interest not in nigerians interest like ya broda PHD holder did to tackle BH insurgency for 6 years. both of them (Obasanjo and Jonathan) fought militancy and Insurgency respectively in their interest ni. But GMB will fight thug that want to render his administration useless with all he got with the interest of Nigerians

deandavid:
guy you dey rake....... you think GMB is someone common militants can arm twist? He will handle them(militants) wella. You be militant? you dey benefit from the contact? watin tompolo and the rest don use their money do for the niger delta? NOTHING......... Asari carry him own go Benin republic go build school. No infrastructures in their villages and they keep collecting money for doing nothing. Now we dont have light, because some idiots blew the gas pipe lines. are they not suppose to protect those pipelines? Abeg GMB revoke those useless contracts, nothing go happen. we dey your back.

luvinhubby:
Very wrong move by Buhari.
OPC has proved itself as a good alternative security outfit in southwest & local vigilante with so many neighbourhoods secured by them.
Ex millitants had displayed knowledge of niger delta terrain more than army or navy & are in the best position to secure, as it is now, those pipelines.
Nigeria is struggling to cope with drop in crude prices with a third of the states unable to pay workers salaries, Nigeria will simply collapse with any further drop in oil revenue.

Na now problem wan start. Make una warn una messiah make e nor price those rude men for creek oooo . Those men nor just get joy at all. If dem begin here una go know say Boko Haram dey learn. Who dey cry dey see road o. Make una nor say we nor warn una.

The illiterate will soon realize that Tompolo, Boyloaf, Asari and the rest dey learn wen boys carry red eye enter creek. Make e go ask Obasanjo and Yar'Adua how far.

One dynamite, One pipeline. Let's see how they will pay salaries in Nigeria. Oil price crash some Governors don dey complain say no money to pay salary, by the time dem don light up Apapa depot again Buhari go know say nor be to shout Change be governance.

chukwudi44:
Bros like I said before the war would be fought on the creeks. If Buhari is a good General let him prove it on the battle field. Perhaps he might end up proving to us that he is not an illiterate General

luvmijeje:
First of all, the Nigeria police force, other security operatives and generally the justice system should be restructure and well funded.

Secondly, Buhari must show sincerity of purpose by implementing his plan for Niger Delta thereby making the criminal elements redundant while bringing the people who matter most to his side. He should do that by employing the right people to head NDDC and other like minded agencies.

Finally, he must be transparent, open and honest. He must take the people along in every decision process.

drake2:
After clicking "like" on your post; i just have to quote you. To further corroborate your points.

During a UNIDO mangrove reforestation project in Akwaibom, I worked with many of these militant guys for more than a year. With speed boat, We passed through many creeks and terrains in the course of project implementation.

These guys ain't smiling at all oh; more than half of project fund went into pacifying them just to allow us plant trees on their deforested island.

They suspected our activities to be Oil related and vowed to kill all of us if we didn't leave. Was a sickening experience but we won their trust sha and succeeded in the pilot study. Some of them are still my friends and we talk sometimes.

haryhorku:
we shall see if thugs, touts like ya brodas can overcome experienced, well trained military men even in ya so called creek which is your home.

Gbawe:
I don't know why Nigerians love arguing blindly even when facts stare them in their faces. Probably over a million discussion went on in cyberspace about "Buhari will never lead Nigeria again". Many braggarts, total weaklings and cowards in real life, gave the specific reason that the militants "supermen" behind GEJ will make life impossible for Buhari. Today same militants some Nigerians swore on have not only quickly accepted the loss of GEJ but have now largely pledged to work with Buhari.

Precisely same with this pipeline protection nonsense. For the absence of doubt, some Nigerians need to know that this is not done anywhere in the world. I.e formally contracting sensitive government responsibility to untrained and unlicensed militia groups. It is not done and the situation we have is a unique disgrace to Nigeria and our armed forces/Government security agencies. This reprehensible practice begun by GEJ, especially when it has led only to Nigeria witnessing the highest oil theft on record, is something Buhari must and will abrogate.

Nigerians and the entire international community are supporting Buhari because they want him to move us away from our current resemblance to Somalia towards a Nation where things work as they should. Pipeline protection contract for militant warlords and militia groups should never have been an option in the first place. As simple as that. Egotistic and chest-beating Nairalanders can remain here bragging about the so-called might of others (Tompolo, OPC et al) when they themselves are skinny weaklings who do not understand that Buhari, unlike GEJ, is not of the mindset that a nation should be cowered by militia groups, terrorists, criminals and gun-totting mercenaries. Any leader who accepts this fundamental no-no is accepting that his nation is failed. One of the markers of a failed state is when terrorists, militia groups and anarchic 'strong' men begin to control territory, government duties, profitable official processes et al in a sovereign State. Buhari fully understands and is ready to defend the notion that individuals and militia groups must never hold a nation to ransom because that is the beginning of the end for said Nation. How long before these individuals and militia groups start claiming the Nigerian Government, which Buhari is head of, has no control over everything within their threshold and must thus stay away? Buhari is not ready to become President Al-Assad and he will not, without a fight, allow Nigeria to become Syria.

The kids can remain here and have their fun. We will see the reality that will play out. We will see whether Tompolo (if he decides to be a troublemaker) is a 'winsh' that turns into 4,000 version of himself as they claimed of Maitatsine or we will see if he is like the mortal Maitatsine Buhari wasted mercilessly in his unrelenting quest to bring peace, security and order to Nigeria.

Teespice:
proud niger delta man indeed.

be there making noise with your keypad while your townspeople are suffering and gnashing their teeth.

upon all the oil you claim to have and the allocations received as an oil producing state, where you brag about is nothing but a shiitthole.

I can say this because I live in bayelsa for the mean time and in the three months I have lived there, except for a dual carriage road, I haven't seen anything tangible which is done and you have the nerves to say you are a proud niger deltan.

people like you are happy with the fact that you kinsmen are enjoying the perks, yet you never hold them accountable.

don't annoy me abeg. if you have nothing sensible to say, take several seats and stop threatening the peace.

calebo101:
U still be small pikin. Na people like you suppose dey follow Amaechi for back. Judases. If u dey my area for warri mention dis rubbish, dem for beat that CHANGE comot your body dis morning make ur eye clear.

Abeg remove your picture from your profile. Wen u comment on politics if u nor strong nor dey use ur pix. Cos as i dey see u so na light weight u be. No level!!!!

lygn19:
the real Niger delta militants don drop guns long ago, anyone coming up now dae learn work, after most of them don see money with there two eyes, most of them now na family men, dem go come put der families at risk say dem dae go disturb creeks, ma guy e no dae dat easy...

calebo101:
Honestly some people mostly the South Westerners and the Northerners actually feel they can ride on like this forever. Truth of the matter is that if the militants were angry then, now they are furious because to them Jonathan was maligned and given a bad name then forced out of power. Most of them are just waiting for Buhari to begin his tenure then he will have to face them squarely and brother dem ready this time. Dem ready die!!!

Abagworo:
A General is always a General. By the time a combined force of US, UK and ever gallant Fulani soldiers hammer 2 weeks of non-stop bombardment, we shall know who really are ready for war with world powers. You will also know that Ikwerres, Ogonis, Urhobos, Itsekiris and others are not part of those sabotaging Nigeria. We want peace. Those who wish for war by bursting pipeline will suffer alone.

Chukwugekwu:
I'm back here again ........u are a fool .....who is seun ..? Animal or living things. ..?
Of you really meant SEUN the owner of this forum I am sorry to say this he is a coward ever



ŞEUN or whatever their call you ....u can go ahead and block me asusal. ........SEUN u are a coward. ......

A word is ok for the wise....
Buhari should mind His presidential business and abort personal grudges to avoid unwanted calamities in the Land of Nigeria.

Reference:
And why are you supporting a Nigeria that refuses to find other sources of income apart from oil when it clearly has others. Will you permit this in your own village. Oil is not a renewable resource. When it is gone it is gone. When will the Niger-Delta reach the equilibrium in all indices of development like other regions....when the oil is gone. You guys are just not fair. Affirmative action means that a disproportionately higher amount of money should go to the peoples there. The poor should attain the same levels as the poor in Lagos or London (where the shareholders of these IOC's are domicilled) and the rich should attain the same levels of wealth as the rich in Lagos or London. Yes. The educated should be offered the same quality as other regions and the graduates should have equal opportunity in industry.

But you sit there with your imperalistic attitude and scorn indigenous people making it rich from oil when the oil moguls are present besides you in Lagos and London, people you idolize. Tell me what they have done to earn their wealth. Is there any state in Nigeria without a billionaire oil tycoon. But Tompolo is your problem. Nonsense. They steal oil and build mighty farms, ranches and estates. Show me where to build those in the Delta. Are your idols not having their cake and eating it as well.
