Nigeria And Niger Delta: Which Way? by thomasthomas: 5:41am On May 29, 2016
I have noticed in recent times that some Nigerians are so excited that it seems that President Buhari has 'failed' and I ask are we such a wicked people who are happy that the country is not progressing just because we do not like the President? No sense of patriotism at all!

I am not surprised! Even in our different families, people are not always happy for the success of one another. People envy, jealous and hate a successful family member. People forget that if President Buhari fails, all of us in this country will suffer for it so why get excited? When President Buhari included the exploration of oil in the Chad Basin, it was as a result of some of these crises. I support him for that. When NDA finish blowing up oil installations and the IOCs move over to the North to continue production, it will be a good scenario to see oil producing states turn to states without oil production and other states now assume that position. I'm glad Lagos is now an oil producing state.

According to recent report, the self acclaimed freedom fighters have blown up a major pipeline thereby reducing Nigeria's oil production output to 800,000 barrels per day. People from a section of the country are happy but ironically, they are the ones complaining the most. I'm so disappointed how some Nigerians think.

The world is in economic crises due to certain factors and so NDA should know that they are worsening the the already bad economic crises. At the end, who suffers it? Thinking that pipeline vandalism will not happen in the proposed 'Niger Delta Republic' is to live in a fool's paradise. It has become a norm that whenever a certain section of the country is not happy with the FG especially Niger Delta, they go about blowing up oil pipelines. So it will still continue in the proposed republic.

Nigeria will not have money to pay salaries, pensions, embark on projects and even pay the ex militants. Is that what we wish for this country? The Niger Delta people are not known to be industrious as confirmed by Bayelsa state governor, Governor Dickson and so everything in the 'republic' will revolve around oil and when oil price is low like this, then there will be hunger and starvation as they won't be any free money.

II'll advise the FG to locate their multibillion naira project away from Niger Delta for now because it will amount to waste of resources if they get blown up by militants. Any progressive section of the country should get the projects, yes I do not mind!

[b]Well said.

The same misguided 'yoots' that were cheering when the creek rats were bombing Nigeria's infrastructure, thereby causing ALL Nigerians to suffer due to a reduced economic strength, are the ones now complaining now that their kinsmen are now on the direct receiving end of the consequences of the militants activities.

The foolishness of destroying their lands, rivers and economy seems locked away from them by the keys of immutable hatred for the President and other Nigerians. One wonders if apart from the direct environmental destruction that ONLY the Niger Deltans will suffer from the bombs, they will not also suffer the power outages, fuel shortages and other adverse economic effects ALONG with other Nigerians.

As for those Ibos involved and those cheering the criminals, be very aware that the last thing Buhari will do is interfere in Nnamdi Kanu's incarceration and trial. If you love bombs so much and believe in their efficacy, nothing demonstrates this better than blowing up FG infrastructure in the SE starting with the Niger Bridge. Those iPods are no different from sick minded Boko Haram members who are the only Nigerians in recent history to celebrate bombs deployed by militants to destroy Nigeria.

The bottom line remains that the FG cannot be blackmailed; especially not with violence. Instigators and their supporters/protectors will suffer the heavy consequence, it's absolute treason to try to overwhelm the President.
