Fashola the minister of nationwide darkness go get small relief. APC go blame this light wey no gree dey since on vndalism. Rocket Science Minister... Kia kia kia!!! Karma na bitch I swear

obailala:
Who is a parasite?... and who exactly are you?... Everyone suffers and laments the epileptic power supply in the country, some misguided people blow up pipelines to further cripple power supply and here we have some supposedly normal humans actually celebrating this?... how low can humans possibly descend to?.... FYI, no matter how hard some of you misguided brainwashed jonathanian-cum-secessionists pray and wish for things to go bad in Nigeria (because you foolishly think you are punishing buhari), Nigeria will forever stand and and even get better. Nonsense!

Abagworo:


Can't your brain tell you that the aim is to prevent Nigeria from achieving stable power? The masses lose while the elites enjoy with their money. The bombings cut off power and fuel supply to parts of Nigeria.

Sheggy13:

I'm from the creeks myself. The riverine area of Ondo state, but I want to ask you if Buhari is the cause of their hardship and if he is, why is not being targeted that all Nigerians will have to be punished for it, with darkness. There are oil installations in places like Akwa-Ibom. Why are those not always showing "our oyel". Why always these Ijaw guys?

luvinhubby:


When the freaking o'l man revoked a pipeline security contract with those guys on his first week in office without properly thinking through the policy, did he not think those boys will see it as act of aggression against them. Why engage in a process that he Buhari does not have a full grasp of? It is now very obvious that our security personel lacks the capacity of safeguarding those pipelines and it was a big failure of leadership capacity for Buhari to stop a seemingly working arrangement without a better alternative.
Moreover, you always feel restless & agitated whenever the people of the Southeast express their own opinion on national issues but was never so when Buhari's army opened & 16 unarmed protesters in Aba & Onitsha.

Sheer hypocrisy.

kayfra:


Directionless talk.

senior123:


Can i ask u a question? D oil revenues u guys recieve, + NDDC development funds bag, where is it? U guys take more dan everyone abi? So where is it?

bilazego:


people like you only think of peace and one Nigeria when you have your future attached to other regions other than yours.

Thewrath:

Let me pretend am on same page with you on "the destruction affects the ordinary people and not the elites"

Why have you turned a blind eye to their demand of resource control,why is the north and west always against anything regionalism or resource control?

franciskaine:
my question is,... What has been happening to the 13% Niger Delta states received monthly? The same people who loot dem dry is the same people they praise sing. Imagine this fools seeing the late Alameseigha as a good man who was killed by the pressure of the FG. Come on, The billions spent on amnesty what do you have to say about dat. Rather than engaging the govt in a rational discus they blowup pipelines and further pollute the already polluted environment. I can tell you categorically that this Avengers were among those who benefitted from the amnesty bonanza. The very mistake we made was by dialoguing with criminals, criminals should be treated as such and nothing more. Go through the FG revenue sharing formula and see d amount these Niger Delta states get as against other states, yet they want more. I wish I'm the president, I will crush them to pieces.

obailala:
If there is peace and orderliness, wveryone enjos it irrespective of tribe or region. Shutting 4 powerful thermal plants down means the load demand will be heavy on the other functional plants and this would force the functional plants to also be shutdown too; in summary, total darkness. Given that buhari may not have handled this matter properly, but I do not understand how someone who would also suffer this darkness would be rejoicing over this development because they feel it punishes buhari.

omonnakoda:
Anywhere this nonsense is vomited it must be refuted. Nigeria started with Regionalism..

Ironsi Stopped it
At the last National conference the SW was firmly for resource control the SS and SE sold out

It was embarrassing to watch that brave woman Aniko Briggs take on the North single handedly as her brothers abandoned her to her fate

This is not about resource control. An Ijaw man was in power supported by the SE for 5 years what did he do? He empowered militants like Tompolo while Dieziani looted the country blind. HE had the highest oil revenue in history .What did he do with it?.He failed to clean up Ogoniland. he failed to develop even his own Otuoke.
So stop deceiving yourself that this has anything to do with resource control.

Image123:


What does it mean to toast and dazzle? The implementation of the Ogoni cleanup, the Lagos-Calabar railway plan budgeted for, the road started from Cross Rivers last year, the 2nd Nigeria bridge all in less than a year. Despite the outright and violent rejection of APC in all the elections held same period. Who made life not to be ideal for human habitation? Have you bothered to query your governors? Does Oando not pay for whatever it uses? ****

CyberWolf:
Idiotic animal.. You will soon run away from Nairaland just like Obiagelli.. Anu mpama.. We shall see

SmartMugu:

I have lived in the creeks of Bayelsa before for 9 months, that was about 15 years ago. I understand the area is not what it should be - it deserves to be way better. I also understand that only a few gets whatever help comes from FG and the oil companies in those areas. Wealth there simply don't circulate.

obailala:
I've just gone through comments on this issue here on NL and on facebook, the ridiculous part of this development is that it's actually ipob igbos mainly who are rejoicing over these reports of economic sabotage, not even the niger deltans... Ipob igbos are now even screaming 'our oil' more than the niger deltans themselves. Wonderful!.... Anything to bring down the zoo is a welcome development to some of these people. Now as the nation falls into darkness and despair, I'm yet to unseratamd how the blackout will affect the buhari whom they hate.

excel101:
I'm not in support of what the NDA's have done and about to do, but the president should also be reminded when he remarked that he'll make the country ungovernable during Jonathan's tenure, which he really did

alt3r3g0:


You have been shouting creek creek. Did it happen within one year? Gej from the creek...what did he do about it for over 6 years he was in power? The 16bn monthly the person you quoting mentioned that they have been getting and refused to do anything to this creek people, you have intentionally ignored to talk about. These pipeline they keep blowing up, will it not pollute this same creek further?

I am from Delta state myself and i am with Tompolo on this one. No to violence and destruction of national assets.

This agitation by NDA is entirely motivated and supported by hate and tribalism.

danjumakolo:


But for how long will they be pampered.
Remember every Niger delta state was getting nothing less than #16b monthly in the last 16 years while other stated get a mere #3.2b.This #16b used to be to monthly allocation to reconstruct and fashion the lifes of these vagaboonds.I gez those money went down the drain

pjsmart:
Honestly in matters of national interest as this one. I just wish the 'learned' Yoruba tribe will stand on their own and promote their tribe rather than always either attaching themselves to north in support or coming against the east. As if they have no say on their own. This country will be a lot better believe me if they did




or are they really cowards? not sure

SleekAboki:

The money ends up in the pockets of the socio-political and economic elites. Nothing gets to the indigenous people of the creeks.

hipsyleema:



I love this. Seriously, the Niger Deltans are going through hell. I can imagine the frustration in their hearts. I keep wondering why these people are spoiling their own. It's for their own good. At the end, their lives will be wasted just like that. We will all suffer the blackout and scarcity including those insulting Buhari up and down.

demslayerrz:


Ibo man, why cant they hold those leaders responsible instead of destroying there own home cos of hatred for the President. You rejoice for any bad thing that happen in that country, why are you this heartless? Stop this hate bro.

Hengineer:
Celebrating power outages across the nation cannot be the opinion of the SE. A lot of southeasterners support a disintegration of the nation for economic and social reasons, but that doesnt mean glorifying the bombing of gas pipelines and throwing everyone into darkness, that cannot and will never be the opinion of the SE.
