Tataatata. All noise and no sense, where is the lie in my statement? Is it Kaita or Buhari that said he will make the country ungovernable? Cos I dont understand all this your noise and accusation of lying.

Your lies
1 Lawal Kaita not Sanni Kaita
2 Kaita is a founding father of ACN, he left PDP to form ACN

You distort facts to lead gullible zombies!

Yes my friends, Mr President's posturing and actions betrayed him as a leader who was obviously biased against the tribes that didn't give him popular votes. From the 5% gaffe to the lopsided appointments he has left no one in doubt about where his loyalty lies.
We don't expect that from a leader of a complex country as Nigeria. Yar Adua was from the core north as Buhari, he came in when militancy was at a peak, we all know the master stroke he took to quell it.
Wisdom is mightier than many armies.


Hmmm but can u tell me any section of the country that has been left out in appointments? And why do nigerians go extremely tribalistics when it comes to political appointments. Its not as if u have benefitted anything from those appointed from ur village. What is the special benefit u get from such appointment?

In my opinion, I think the President has fulfilled all criteria when it comes to appointments by ensuring every region is represented. The entire civil service of the federation is being controlled by a niger deltan. U have NDDC, Ministry of niger delta, amnesty office all dedicated to the niger delta. What more do u want?

What expense I ask you?
What was used to develop Warri, Benin, Uyo International stadium, Asaba, Calabar and Port Harcourt light rails and conference centres, Yenagoa, Uyo, Port Harcourt, Brand new Akwa Ibom Airport, Ibom tropicana, Asaba international Airport And Calabar? Ice Water money? Forget the lies that your oil money was used to develop Lagos that is total bollocks. As for Abuja, it is our national capital city, and it has to have at least a semblance of modernity. Every Nigerian calls the city home, including people from the niger delta.
If my state was getting a quarter of what Akwa Ibom or Rivers gets on a monthly basis, we would have turned the place into fuc*king paradise by now.
Some of these your lines are getting old and stale and Nigerians are learning really fast.


so u could even name all d projects developed in six states nd u think they are much,, it's just like having all d names of students in a university by heart nd thinking they re much

I still don't know our offense as Country to deserve PDP at first.

PDP created Boko Haram to steal through defense budget, we voted them out again they created Avengers to crumple our economy. PDP why naa, you people should leave us alone.

Why is it difficult to restructure this country into fedrating units? That alone will spark up development and solve our problems as a nation.

I doubt that it would make a difference. Why? Via the same bloody politicians you have now would still steal all the money. The problem is not more states or regional systems versus state! It's simply because we have useless leaders at every level.

So in short a country should succumb to the will of common criminals?? Are you listening to yourself? I am sure you are educated? So you would rather spend 12 years schooling and then come out of school to be told that national resources that could have got you a job have been used to pay Tompolo and Co?

I hope you realize that the problem we have now with kidnapping is because the government negotiated the first time and suddenly of became easy business. Why do you think America doesn't negotiate with terrorists?

Let me tell you even if Niger delta seceded today in 30years time nothing would have changed much . Why? The people will still be chanced by their useless political leaders. I have seen several protests to shell, total and agip gate because communities have no water or road. I have never seen a protest to government house for the same agitation.

The first five points dont make sense. By giving contracts to the militants u only empower them more to do havoc - feed fat on the back of the nation while their own people suffer. And with regards to reducing budgets, i am sure u are aware of nigeria's current financial status. All budget has been reduced including allocation to states. So this is not peculiar to any ministry or mda.

The amnesty programme is good. But it cant last forever. Especially when the real target were not getting anything out of it. Am sure u are aware of all the allegations against kuku for hijacking the amnesty programme for selfish gains

There's a saying, 'you don't change a winning team'.
Whatever Yaradua did to achieve peace in ND n GEJ did to maintain peace should have better been left that way or improved upon; getting d oil to run d economy.
Tell me it wasn't wrong for buhari to reduce budgets to NDDC, ND ministry, Amnesty?

They did a "good job" and one of them bought a war ship?? They did "good job" and one of them threatened the President not to dare return without 2nd term?? Really Have u even thot of the implications of giving billions of naira to armed millitants? Well i guess we are suffering it now. You cant solve a problem by creating a bigger hydra headed monster. These same millitants are so rich now they can afford to do whatever and we are seeing it. If jonathan had fought the problem of illegal bunkering head on rather than pouring money at the same armed bandits,we wont be where we are now

How much do you think this contracts were? U think they were in billions of dollars?
They were just in few million naira and some of the boys protecting this pipelines were paid N40,000 to N60,000 monthly.
You want to compare that with the empowerement the govt HAS been giving d northerners who own oil blocs over the years.?

All these could have been avoided if your cattle rearer of a president wasn't busy making stupid remarks. This country really needs to renegotiate its sovereignty. How can oil from South South be used to develop Lagos and Abuja at the expense of the original owners of the oil? How can a company be drilling oil in South South but having regional and head offices at Lagos and Abuja? We are tired of this injustice. We might come from a Minority region but our contributions to the economic development of Nigeria has been Major. I am a South Southerner and oil is my birthright.

Your own brother was there in power for 5 years and in full and total control of oil money...What did he do to benefit your region, his homeland? Your brother could have supervised the greatest development in the ND but sadly the ND is still so poor at least that is why the NDA have taken up arms...

Bro, your enemy is not the hausa or yoruba elite...The Niger Delta elite are responsible for the impoverishment of the ND!
Re: The Niger Delta Avengers: Nigeria's Newest Militants - BBC by efficiencie(m): 7:46pm On Jun 02, 2016
Asari, Tompolo and the like were paupers before the amnesty nonsense and after exploiting the fight for regional development (which is legitimate) they accepted to become billionaires with chieftancy titles...instead of pushing for the development of their land...So a new crop of paupers thought to themselves that they can repeat the same feat like Tompolo and Asari. Claim you are figthing for justice and for the people, blow up the revenue source of the nation, hold the nation to ransom, till the incumbent cedes the ND region or apportions total resource control to the militants and ND elite and voila, armed paupers and ND politicians become instant billionaires...poverty shoots up, internal unhealthy competition heats up, inequality reaches astronomical proportions and ND becomes another barren wasteland left for the poor NDs...ofcourse Dubai, US, UK etc will become the new home of the once-upon-a-time militants and elite!

Very soon the Niger Delta will have comparative advantage in the exportation of militants...and the weak (women and children) will suffer greatly!

Sorry for u.

First of all, do u know how much a warship cost?? Pls dont say what u dont know.you are confusing the amnesty programme with the contract to protect pipeline. The money awarded under the contract plus the complete and utter access to siphon crude at will made the niger delta militants some of the richest people in nigeria. This is different from the amnesty programme run by kingley kuku where the repentant militants were to be paid stipends, given scholarships and sent on training abroad.

Unfortunately, like all those who had access to funds under jonathan, kuku looted all at will leaving the militants with nothing.
