Thank you your view is that of a critical thinker please ask them what did President Buhari do to those criminals and kidnappers that they decided to blow the pipelines do you get what you want by shooting yourself in the foot this bombing of pipeline will not work this time President Buhari is a true commander in chief of the armed forces he is not a yaradua or goodluck jonathan he will deal with those terrorist accordingly under Nigerian law in due time a crime not punished today doesn't mean it won't be punished in the near future?It is a conspiracy of the Braced States the president should hold the governors of those states accountable as they are the Chief security officers of their states and ask them what do they do with the huge security votes they get every month,who are the local government chairmen and youth leaders of that senate constituency?Serieke Dickson has warned those avengers not to forget what happened in Odi. Then you expect investors to bring their dollars to come and investment in the region.

Buhari may not be able to do anything about it, Nigeria doesnt have the security apparatus to prevent or forestall things like this. But then, does it really make any sense for NDA to keep blowing up infrastructure and impoverishing everyone?.... anyone that thinks Buhari is the victim here must really be unwise.

the "Yes Sir" pple.





na joke i dey o.

That "yes sir" get plenty meaning for Yorubaland.

‪#‎OCCUPYINGMINDS‬: ‪#‎NIGERDELTAMILITANTS‬...Every time a Crude Flow Station is Destroyed by Militants in the Niger Delta, The Environment is Damaged; Our Land is Polluted and Our Communities are subjected to more hardships...Let the Bombing Continue, who will lose?...The Government of PMB is dragging the Nigerian Economy away from Crude Oil; Lagos State has Joined the League of Oil Producing States and the Northern Part of Nigeria whose Reserves have been cynically suppressed over the years will begin production within the next months to two years. With time, We from the Niger Delta would have destroyed our Lands so much that future generation will curse us their Fathers and Mothers for killing their dreams. Let the Stupidity Continue my People...Don't stop the blowing up of pipelines.
Everyone of us thinks that a Blown Pipeline is an attack on PMB and His Government of Change...Insanity on display I must say. Kano and Lagos are Leading the way in Tomatoes Paste Production and Tomatoes don dey scarce shebi? The Northern Landmass alone is about 4 times the entire Landmass of the SS and the SE; Agriculture will revolutionize the North within the next decade...We from the Niger Delta will use our Oil to soak Garri and we think we are punishing Nigeria? Think Again, but Kontinu.
I have been reliably informed, that the More Pipeline we blow-up, the more the Resolve of this President to get the Nigerian Economy off oil...The More the Presidency blocks loopholes; The More the desire for alternative Revenue; The More the Nigerian People get pissed off by our Stupidity. The Future is Lost to the Greedy, Selfish Demons of Today. Blow Pipelines if you can, Nigeria is moving on. We have a President who is capable of making the hard decisions and willing to firmly sustain those hard choices. Blow Pipelines abeg. Let Nigeria Suffer and Let our land be wasted. Kontinu killing your own future by your own hands.
WEEP NOT FOR THE NIGER DELTA!!!
OUR ENEMIES ARE WITHIN!!!

The last time I checked, the oil money in Nigeria is shared and consumed by the rich (irrespective of tribe or religion or political links) even whilst the poor continue to wallow in their poverty; it has always been a Rich vs Poor battle, but divisive politicians have succeeded in brainwashing the ever gullible, educated but illiterate masses to think this has anything to do with tribe.

Now from your comment, I assume you are from either the SE or the SS? and i assume you are happy about the crippling of the oil industry because you believe this would deprive fulanis and yorubas who presumably take all the gains from the industry?

First of all, it is quite ignorant to assume that the 2 tribes you mentioned are the biggest gainers from the oil industry; the last time I checked, the 3 big Nigerian tribes are ably represented in the feast table where Nigeria's resources are shared from regime to regime. Being ignorant of this fact is the first evidence of an unfortunate mass tribal brainwash.

Secondly, the microscopic few elite of these big tribes (and also minority tribes) who may own oil blocks and who feed fattest from the oil industry, these people make up less than 0.000001% of the population and even if the conduit is cut-off, these microscopic few elite already have enough to last them 3 lifetimes. Now who are the real victims if you kill the oil industry?... The real victims are the millions of ordinary people closest to facilities and the offices. If you've ever been to or lived in an oil city like Warri or PH, you would understand how over 90% of the population of these towns directly and indirectly feed off the oil industry; bus drivers, okada men, hotel owners, mama-put owners, security men, caterers, even ashawos and to the direct staff and contractors of these companies.

Someone who has lived in a city like warri before and after the exit of a giant like Shell can testify to the colossal impact of these companies on the livelihoods of millions of people who make up the population of these cities. Only an ignorant fellow would think the main victims of a destruction of the industry would be the microscopic few elites from faraway who own blocks and who have already secured 3 lifetimes.

If only all yorubas, hausa and fulanis were as reasonable as you are. Trust me, the ego start those destructive operations start right from the internet. The way most of you comment is enough to drive somebody mad.

This is just d beginning. All oil companies must leave niger-delta

fashrola:
Dear Nairalanders.... don't take this news seriously cos right now I'm in Idaho Field, the leakage has nothing to do with the NDA, the current oil leakage was caused by a drilling rig at the field... Our vessel was pulled out from BOP field to complement other vessels (For FiFi watch) in the field to help contain the oil spillage...as at now extensive work is going on now.

Moreover, even though the Oil field is an open field, there are two to three security boats patrolling the field, it's a tough task for NDA to damage any of the lines in the field (These lines are buried deep down the sea bed)

ExxonMobil has not shut down any operations... Crude oil lifting is ongoing in other ExxonMobil fields like Yoho, BOP, Ekpe, USAN etc

But Naija media can report things sha

Thanks for sharing the info sir. That's the handwork of a traffic-hungry blogger. Misleading people on a sensitive issue as this.

people who sponsor the militants are far stupidly rich my friend

we de watch

One by one they don dey go. Goodbye oyel, Goodbye free money, Goodbye Nigeria.

better .....They should shut everything down ooo. lemme see where buhari will raise money from.

Niger delta is d heartbeat of dis country Nigeria.....also as poor as hell.., to me is not fair at all

TonyeBarcanista:
Only a foolish man will chop off his head to cure his headache

So because the foolish man will not chop off his head, he should sit there allowing the headache kill him right?? to what end?

Ibolt4m:

I agree but that is not what this is about.If it was there was no better time than the last 5 years to fix it the highest oil prices in our history and an Ijaw man as president .Why are we not asking what they did? Why are we not holding Ibori and Odilia and Akpaio and Orubebe to account? Is it now that oil price has crashed that the problem will be solved?

Let us not use headache medicine for cancer.


The only way things can be different is to break the country up. So if that is what people want to do let them fight for that.At current production levels there are 30 years of oil left in the ground and about 5 of that will go on existing debt. If we fight another war those selling arms to both sides will probably take another 10 years. Oil will not solve our problems in Nigeria so people need to stop kidding themselves. Even when we have oil we only use it to consume imports and there is nowhere in Nigeria that is prosperous let us tell ourselves the truth

I am tempted to think the people making some of these comments are youngsters who dont feed families, but it would be sad if I'm wrong.

almost defeinetely. small children with no idea of cause and effect.

Avengers, men of timber and calibre, iroko and mahogany, firewood and plywood. haba! if u push a man to the wall. he must surely react. God see us through in Nigeria as we obey laws and order, court rulings, respect our elders. Let peace rain in this country. let no man intimidate each other. God give us the grace to live as one in Nigeria and let NNAMDI KANU be freeeeeeeeeee! Amen, and dasuki too, Amen. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
i just dey feel d pain of fuel price.

i just the feel d postal duty n charges on bank.
I THOUGHT GOVERNMENT ARE SUPPOSE TO GIVE US MONEY BC OF THE OIL N IGR THEY R CONTROLING? BUT AFTER THE CONTROL THEY STILL STOOD SO LOW N COLLECT FROM US AGAIN. GOD SEE US THRU.
WCH WAY NIGERIA......

anigold:
most of what you said is correct but i wanna add some info, the yorubas and hausas are the biggest beneficiaries of the oil revenue since 1960, 90% of oil blocs are owned by them, 85% of jobs in the oil industry belong to them, even in my state Akwa ibom; 90% of staffs in Mobil are yorubas . Now tell me how is that fair... Will you be happy to be in our shoes? The answer is no..
Until we stop/reduce tribalism in this country nothing will go well...

Oil is in the south but the head offices of these oil firms are in Lagos and Abuja...

We in the south we want others to enjoy our resources not for us to be starved from our reseources just because we are the minority...

What do you think is responsible for Yoruba and not Hausa being 90% of Mobil staff, which is not a Nigerian-owned company and OBJ has only being the Yoruba President this country has produced in it's almost 56 years of Independence while the Northerners have ruled for much longer?

Why are these Avengers not questioning people like Dickson who despite receiving 13% derivation and being the smallest state in the SS population-wise too, have refused to pay salaries for going to 6 months thereby impoverishing their people. Alas they will praise him instead, just like they praised Alams despite stealing their future away.

flokii:
Your monicker tho.

You think it's Buhari they are doing.. I pity you

D whole country will siffer for their actions.. Even they themselves are exposed to chemical & environmental hazards

What's d point then?

You are right, it's not Buhari they are doing. Just like Boko haram taught they were doing GEJ at the end it is their people and land they destroyed.

It cannot be biz as usual ...the north has cheated this country for too long even the SW people know that n this cannot continue. There must be change.Oil blocks has to be given to the owners.

And buhari came n gave all positions to his relatives n people think is ok .

tempest01:
Tonye the fight is for oil...oil in your backyard...you think if there was no oil the coys will be there in the first place?

There's no need trying to score points. The points will take you no where.

If they relocate, the oil will still be in the ground..assets for future generation....can you compare it to the gains now?

To solve the issue of militancy, the government should take steps to solve issues in the ND. Firstly, nobody should own oil blocs...it should strictly be operating companies.

If this OYEL happens to be in the core North, I bet you, No Southerner will own an oil block there.


Currently Northerners controls and own 90% of oil blocks in Niger Delta.

Alezy:
better .....They should shut everything down ooo. lemme see where buhari will raise money from.

so only buhari needs money? How will you then blame him for not performing if you deliberately handicapped him? His children are well taken care off, he is in 70s, what personal loss is these craziness to him? Smh

When you cut your head to cos of headache, you only compound your problems with self-destruct. it neither improve your being nor solve the problem.



It is Very Foolish

Sunnymatey:
The boys are angry and they are fighting a just course. I as a Niger Deltan deserve an old blog. We need to also benefit frm resources found in our backyard.

I'm truly happy with the way Niger deltans are in support of this boys. That's great. No one should fool us any more

Who is talking about 13% derivation? ? did u by any chance see the list of oil blocs owners( allocated) on the other thread? ? now compare how many millions of barrel sold a day and how much goes into those pockets who are not Niger deltans.

You expect them to be happy managing little I the plenty God has given them because we have a fulani/Hausa northern as president.

fratermathy:
So because TonyeBarcanista stands for the truth without partisanship, you resort to hauling invectives at his personage?

Smh!

Well, this is what youths of nowadays have become : wanton political zombies!

My good TonyeBarcanista, keep standing for the truth! Nigeria's problem has nothing to do with APC or PDP! We are our own problem and until we realise that, NOTHING CAN CHANGE!

Oniovo, they say a house divided against itself will never stand. When a certain former president said an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north what was TonyeBarcanista stance? This same guy has changed stance more than a chameleon changes colours. Stand for something or fall for anything. I repeat, he should shut his dirty trap. His ability to write well doesn't mean he's got any good ideas. A warrior stands and rumbles, not fold and crumble repeatedly the way Tonye has

TonyeBarcanista:
When our ppl start losing their jobs and coys relocate to Lagos, I hope people celebrating those misguided NDA won't complain?

And how will the generate funds they intend paying the "relocated to Lagos staff".
Barcanista, lets say the truth even for once.
The North have so marginalized us for so long that keeping quiet or believing that all will be well will do us no good.

My brother it's more foolish to allow an headache kill you when u can drive it buy any means. you don't sit down and beg the headache ( please don't kill me) you take a bold step to taking drug (fighting your way to victory)

no doubt violence is not cool at all but it seems that's the only English the so called head understand.

Let's not deceive ourselves anymore....This is not one Nigeria.

this is insane...just crazy.

those guys ( hausas and yoruba )where more developed because they produced stuffs like groundnuts, Cocoa, and Tin and the rest, how many Niger delta took part in their early riches then?

i have an answer to your question but I will only answer if you can tell me GEJs personal loss when he lost election to buhari after the lies and fake propaganda used to frustrate his government.

You are a clown sir!

I don't support terrorism, militancy or ANY armed agitation. Only cowards will sit behind keyboard to hail a group of misguided youths, sponsored by some politicians and businessmen to destroy their land. Just like the foolish BH cheerleaders, your kind would soon learn the hard way how not to be foolish when your uncles, aunties and friends start losing their jobs.

If my position is unwise then I guess the IYC and Tompolo condemnation of NDA is unwise too. I pity whoever look up to you.

FTR: The NDA guys are misguided and unfortunate. Yeyenatu

They should go and drill Lagos and leave our oil for us here.
