This is not 1967, there are many routes now through which one can access weapons from allies. Bombardment now can go both ways shud there b civil war. U are making Nigerian army during the war seem they were gallant soldiers while they lacked technicality and intelligence, only relied on continuous supply of arms from Britain while their opponent had no means of getting arms and ran shortage of arms.
Do not pray civil war starts again having high hopes u still have advantage u had in 1960s.
Most countries that supported Nigeria then have no interest in Nigeria now and some are even interested in its split.

[b]Na now problem wan start. Make una warn una messiah make e nor price those rude men for creek oooo angry angry angry. 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.

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. They have been wondering where the change agents werw wen Obasanjo and Atiku ran the nation aground. Most of them are just waiting for Buhari to begin his tenure then he will have to face them squarely and dem ready this time. Dem ready die!!!

Good enough the educated Niger Deltans are willing to join the struggle this time in whatever form and with the recent angling of self determination by the Lower Niger congress, i say this is a good omen for us. We will have our freedom maybe not tomorrow but soon and very very soon we know. Those that want to keep being slaves forever are free as the birds to continue but this useless contraption called Nigeria will disintegrate. Bring it on Buhari!

See as dem dey fear dey mention me up and down cheesy cheesy cheesy. Wetin una wan use our oil money do? Can't you guys survive without oil? I repeat ONE DYNAMITE, ONE PIPELINE. The days of free food is over. Na our oil money una dey wait make Buhari share give una 5k monthly abi? All Isreal to your tent, party is over. There is no one Nigeria anymore!!!

Abeg save your breath because no rational mind would accept such sentimental nonsense.
Did you even read what you wrote?
Do you even understand the implication of placing something like one's whole national security concern under the custody and reach of an ill trained, indisciplined, corrupt militant rogues led by the likes of Tompolo, Asari etc; its akin to placing your balls in the hands of a sadist so that he could squeeze them and torture you at will.
Believe it, no right thinking president anywhere in the world would agree to compromise the security of his country in order to please a handful of militants out of fear of constant blackmail and sabotage.

Yes, they might carry out their threats and blow up some pipelines and even bring the country to its knees; but after that, be assured that it will be all out war because Nigerians will be fully united and solidly against anyone that threatens them.
I am glad you mentioned Obasanjo; you will also remember Odi and that Obasanjo is till today still alive and free as a bird, well even that one will be a small thing - let them go ahead and try any nonsense.

The status quo is legally, politically and morally unacceptable in the face of unimaginable high level of oil theft. To add insult to injury nobody has and could been held accountable.
Nigeria has no choice. It is the price we have to pay for allowing the situation deteriorate to such levels. Buhari has just two choices, return to the 'legal' status quo of 2004 when militancy raged on or run a two track solution of 'carrot and stick'. The military is not the solution. You don't go into a gasoline station with a flame thrower to eject illegal occupants if you depend solely on the fuel that is stored there.

Hope you know a large proportion of these payments to Tompolo and co. goes for settlement to 'the boys' living in those areas who see millions of dollars worth of oil flowing literally by their doorsteps daily and can barely resist getting their hands on it.

Nigeria should just find alternative sources of revenue to oil but in the meanwhile completely privatise the industry. Through the PIB the IOC's should be permitted to negotiate directly with host communities to secure their assets and pay whatever they deem fit for proper accountability. This is the model in all other parts of the world, not Nigeria where individuals use the power of the state to bypass their obligations towards their hosts.

I say again to every Nigerian out there. Can you allow that in your town, your village, your home.

Call me what you want. Fact is that your kind always end up frustrated losers because you run purely on the fuel of prejudice, self-deceit and egotism. This leaves you unable to confront and accept the truth. The fact is that it is your leaders at State and regional level who have let you down the most yet you prefer a 'romanticised' version of events where all your folks are innocent victims of the "evil machinations" of other Nigerian ethnic groups.

You do not even have the honesty or integrity to confront the fact that GEJ has led Nigeria for 5 years while the people of the ND and the region itself did not benefit at all from having their 'son' as President whereas militant warlords, mercenaries and gun-totting thugs all became billionaires courtesy of the patronage of Jonathan. Those are the sort of reality that shows that you and others love deluding yourselves.

I am a deltan. I would say revoke it but he as a general should understand that he has to thread very carefully in matters like this. he wouldnt want to cause problems that would distract his government for the next four years. inshort announcing such before his swearing in, would give the boys heads up and enable them prepare for a face off. You don't do such, it is unwise.

Remember Tompolo has upgraded from a mere warlord to a mentor for many, he enjoys undisputed loyalty. Asari may be nothing but a noisemaker but tompolo is someone that commands d respect of even law abiding citizens, he deliberately abstains from public glare and is the only warlord that has a charity foundation. i don't think Tompolo would want any trouble either, but a man like him thaf is so quiet and looks gentle is hard to predict.

Forget the propaganda ameachi and o'tega are trying to sell, in reality the Niger delta is almost wholly anti APC, so buhari lacks political influence in the region, even worst he is from a tribe that is viewed as an oppressor. So he has to thread carefully but we certainly cannot keep up with this contracts. diplomacy is key here, take away any credibility that would allow militancy to thrive. By reaching out and building some trust via an overwhwlming visible FG Presence in the form of developmental projects. that is the easiest and safest way to disarm the ticking time bomb
he don't need the criminals to get rid of impunity,apc dnt need a headqtrs in the niger deltan b4 sending criminals like tampolo to prison,let them try rubbish.

I had to mention you because you are an ethnic brother. Just a dey things to educate you: 1. Bomb the pipelines and aggravate the already bad environmental condition of your community. 2. Take up arms against the state and see if you'd have a long career as a militant/terrorist/freedom fighter or criminal. How folks like you still sustain an agitation for the retention of the amnesty programme beats me. I thought it was intended as a stop-gap that pays a stipend while beneficiaries are equipped with useful skills to integrate into society as non-combatants? After rehabilitating a 'mass' of militants and being closed to new entrants/beneficiaries, why should the programme continue? As for the pipeline surveilance, if a first tranche of payment has been made, the contracts should be terminated as soon as the time is covered. After all, these contracts existed while the country daily loses 400kbopd and gas pipelines are sabotaged. Insha Allahu, the new sheriff shall be ready to offer reciprocal reaction to violence from you criminals.

And your leaders that led since independence has made Nigeria Hong Kong or England. Talk of delusion. Yet you see nothing wrong in what they have done to bring the country including the Niger-Delta to its knees. What did Buhari see or what did he do in 1983 about the Niger-Delta problem when the likes of Asari and Tompolo were in pampers. That is what they call vision or in this case a lack of it. All they were concerned about was their thirst for power and the glories around it sonthey maintained the status quo of maximum rule. As Petroleum minister did Buhari ever go down to see the ugliness and devastation of the creeks. What did he do about it. As PTF Chairman what did he do about the source of all that money he was distributing. He is a farmer. Did he ever check on the hens or was just collecting the eggs. What did he say when his Oga hung Saro-Wiwa and lit the fuse to this conflagration. Nothing.

It is now they know they are losing money. It is now they realise the hen sick simply because the eggs have reduced. It is the fact that Niger-Deltans are making money at their expense that worries them. Pity. Nonsense people.

maybe you have forgotten so soon the relief the amnesty gave nigeria. You dont get results by ranting, watch the U.S. they have remained world power cos they are experts at diplomacy. Nigeria can not afford to fight boko haram in the north and at the same time militancy in the Niger delta, especially now that the price of crude has plummeted. lastly only myopic people think about exterminating villians, obasanjo was myopic. Yar'adua knew better and arrested the vice not villians.

i am not interested in the short lived sense of supremacy ond would get by taking tompolo out, i am interested in lasting peace and development. take it or leave it, tompolo would easily be replaced by another daredevil if you kill him. Nigeria killed ken saro wiwa and militancy was born years after, they arrested henry okah and tompolo surfaced, they settled tompolo with amnesty and General john togo appeared, they killed john togo and kelvin of kokori was born... Then the govt arrested him and corruptly used large contracts and money to shut the boys. yes Nigeria lost more money than the cost of those contracts when those boys were active even with the military fighting them. but i want lasting development that will change the lives of many. if u want war, go to borno and enjoy it.

The militancy was successful because we all thought they were freedom fighters...... They have the sympathy of Nigerians and the world in Nigeria because we all they they have a point in the face of degradation of their environment.

Years after, NDDC came in, 13% derivation was passed into law, amnesty came in. Still on the strength of that Jonathan became the Vice-president and later became the President. And yet you are still asking for more. What have you done with the one given and earned by you?

The problem of the Niger-Delta and Nigerians in general is the failure of the people to hold their leaders responsible.

So if they want to go back to the Creek, they are welcome but they will not have the support of well meaning Nigerians.

I agree with your view, but you misunderstood my post. The Niger Delta is comprised mostly of WATER, in the form of deep fast flowing rivers, stagnant swamps and marshes, all shrouded under the triple canopy of impenetrable rain forest, most of which CANNOT be invaded with heavy armor or even navy patrol boats. The advantage will go to the Niger Delta militants, who know every creek of the labyrinth intimately.

If the mighty US military machine could not defeat the Viet Cong amid the creeks of the Mekong Delta back in the 1960s, it is certain that the Nigerian military will fare no better in the Niger Delta, which is FIVE TIMES larger than the Mekong Delta, when measured in square miles.

The Northern Nigerian Born-to-Rule petroleum-stealing gang may have colonized the rest of Nigeria with the cooked up outcome of that last presidential "selection" , but they will FAIL in spreading that sphere of influence into the deadly waters of the Niger Delta, and they will fail in epic proportions, for sure.

Born-to-Rule, prepare to live off the proceeds of your groundnut pyramids, for that free oil will cease to flow very quickly, if you try and take it by force.

Thank you. There is only so long some self-serving mercenaries can don the toga of "pro-people freedom fighters" for till the entire world see them for what they are. This is not 1999 when OBJ took over or even 2007 when Yar Adua led the charge to compensate the militants with amnesty and genuinely empower the NDDC to try and make amends for the sufferings of the ND and her people. This is 2015 when it is now fully agreed by all balanced and truthful people worldwide that the leaders of the ND, whether militant or political, are exploitative and duplicitous charlatan who do not care for the people and are only interested in lining their own pocket.

No one will therefore support the continuous blackmail of Nigeria by a people who show they are disinterested in holding their direct leaders, i.e those who have failed them the most, accountable. Clearly Nigeria and her leadership has shifted ground and made tangible concessions to the ND. Yet we have not seen these concessions translate into any appreciable gains for the people of the ND because of the corruption and anti-people callousness of the leaders of the region. The pipeline protection contracts is one example. How can anyone support the continuation of protection contracts costing Nigeria huge sums of money yet only delivering the biggest levels of oil theft ever recorded? Clearly the militants are 'eating' on both sides (money from government contract + selling bunkered oil) so why would any sane person argue in favor of a continuation of this deplorable status quo that is only benefiting crooks rather than Nigeria and Nigerians? It is like arguing in favor of the continuation of the fuel subsidy scam !!!!

It is the same as how NDDC leaders get a lot to transform the ND yet loot all moneys provided only to turn around duplicitously, so as to deceive their own people they deliberately and heartlessly impoverish , and begin shouting of "injustice against us the owners of the oil that feeds Nigeria". All good Nigerians, including ordinary Niger Deltans who are not gaining anything from the billions flying around, should welcome reforms that will truly work for all Nigerians and destroy, once and for all, the "business as usual" contraptions and arrangements destroying all sectors and corners of our nation. It is time we all put ethnic jingoism aside to begin demanding what is in the best interest of Nigeria and Nigerians. For all the noise some SE and SS bigots make here daily, it remains a total disgrace to them that Yar Adua, from the Fulani ethnic group they hate passionately, did far more for the ND and had more goodwill for the region in the short time he led than "son of the soil" Jonathan has managed in 5 years as President !!!

i am not interested in the short lived sense of supremacy ond would get by taking tompolo out, i am interested in lasting peace and development. take it or leave it, tompolo would easily be replaced by another daredevil if you kill him. Nigeria killed ken saro wiwa and militancy was born years after, they arrested henry okah and tompolo surfaced, they settled tompolo with amnesty and General john togo appeared, they killed john togo and kelvin of kokori was born... Then the govt arrested him and corruptly used large contracts and money to shut the boys. yes Nigeria lost more money than the cost of those contracts when those boys were active even with the military fighting them. but i want lasting development that will change the lives of many. if u want war, go to borno and enjoy it.
You are too reasonable for this forum. The other side wants to subjugate, let's see what the Nigerian army/Navy has to offer. After 12 months of this face off, we shall see which side is more damaged. Their Magician General need to come display his Rommel tricks in the creeks of the delta. We can only die once.

Mr. Buhari should remember the saying that "Just because you have the hammer does not mean every problem is a nail"

It is in his interest to walk along this fine line, manage Nigeria's delicate diversity or regret it.

Thank you. There is only so long some self-serving mercenaries can don the toga of "pro-people freedom fighters" for till the entire world see them for what they are. This is not 1999 when OBJ took over or even 2007 when Yar Adua led the charge to compensate the militants with amnesty and genuinely empower the NDDC to try and make amends for the sufferings of the ND and her people. This is 2015 when it is now fully agreed by all balanced and truthful people worldwide that the leaders of the ND, whether militant or political, are exploitative and duplicitous charlatan who do not care for the people and are only interested in lining their own pocket.

No one will therefore support the continuous blackmail of Nigeria by a people who show they are disinterested in holding their direct leaders, i.e those who have failed them the most, accountable. Clearly Nigeria and her leadership has shifted ground and made tangible concessions to the ND. Yet we have not seen these concessions translate into any appreciable gains for the people of the ND because of the corruption and anti-people callousness of the leaders of the region. The pipeline protection contracts is one example. How can anyone support the continuation of protection contracts costing Nigeria huge sums of money yet only delivering the biggest levels of oil theft ever recorded? Clearly the militants are 'eating' on both sides (money from government contract + selling bunkered oil) so why would any sane person argue in favor of a continuation of this deplorable status quo that is only benefiting crooks rather than Nigeria and Nigerians? It is like arguing in favor of the continuation of the fuel subsidy scam !!!!

It is the same as how NDDC leaders get a lot to transform the ND yet loot all moneys provided only to turn around duplicitously, so as to deceive their own people they deliberately and heartlessly impoverish , and begin shouting of "injustice against us the owners of the oil that feeds Nigeria". All good Nigerians, including ordinary Niger Deltans who are not gaining anything from the billions flying around, should welcome reforms that will truly work for all Nigerians and destroy, once and for all, the "business as usual" contraptions and arrangements destroying all sectors and corners of our nation. It is time we all put ethnic jingoism aside to begin demanding what is in the best interest of Nigeria and Nigerians. For all the noise some SE and SS bigots make here daily, it remains a total disgrace to them that Yar Adua, from the Fulani ethnic group they hate passionately, did far more for the ND and had more goodwill for the region in the short time he led than "son of the soil" Jonathan has managed in 5 years as President !!!
It's indeed a total disgrace to them. Buhari should get ready to deal ruthlessly within the law with any foolish ants that wants to hold the country at the jugular. He will definitely have our support.

The militancy was successful because we all thought they were freedom fighters...... They have the sympathy of Nigerians and the world in Nigeria because we all they they have a point in the face of degradation of their environment.

Years after, NDDC came in, 13% derivation was passed into law, amnesty came in. Still on the strength of that Jonathan became the Vice-president and later became the President. And yet you are still asking for more. What have you done with the one given and earned by you?

The problem of the Niger-Delta and Nigerians in general is the failure of the people to hold their leaders responsible.

So if they want to go back to the Creek, they are welcome but they will not have the support of well meaning Nigerians.
So hold your leaders accountable first. Lead by example. But you can't can you. And you know it. Everyone just wants to get a piece of the oil. They look at Danjuma and the rest of the oil oligarchs living in affluence and safety earning billions for nothing and they want a piece of that. Catch those first, make an example of them by hanging them in the public square to send a clear message to Tompolo and co. then go after them with a sledge hammer. The real, knowledgable Nigerians will then get your sympathy. My dear, Tompolo and co. are not your problem. They are not the ones who have ruined Nigeria and you know this.
