Ijaws always feeling like they are the only tribe in Niger Delta.... They know we're there boundary ends sha... .. The ijaws in delta should have be caved in to Bayelsa do we have peace.. . Let them kill themselves in that state

I will keep saying it ijaws are the worst tribe in this country... . Thank GOd the are not a major tribe.. ... we for hear am.. . Fulani would be a small case

Ijaw... The worst tribe?
If the whole tribes in the Niger Delta were as brave as the Ijaws all the cheating, marginalization and negligible by the government would not have been possible.
The Ijaw... No matter how bad they might seem are the strength of the South South.

And how is bayelsa the state of the ijaws...

Isoko people wey useless pass devil.

I really don't think federal government's negotiation is genuine, i see it as a decoy! Personnels have been massively drafted from the west to the south, what do you think that's about?

Who are the government?. GEJ, a niger deltan was president for atleast 4 yrs. you people are confused in your greediness. No sane human have been able to reason why there wasn't this uprising.

Thats why I said that a Niger Delta Republic will be a calamity.
Militias, Fighting among the tribes because the Ijaws will use their numbers and dominate the country.
Who will rule who?
They should just count my Delta North out of their madness.

What do you mean? you prefer being in Nigeria with Hausa/Fulani or being in Biafra? if Niger Delta Republic is created and Biafra created too which would you love to join? I'm Anioma and I would join any country that would take me out of Nigeria with Hausa Fulani. it's not about the oil. I pray God to stop the oil flow so that Nigeria can disintegrate

The FG is setting a bad precedence there.

Like Idiovwa rightly pointed out, it will only serve to encourage criminality and instill a kind of, "yeah, that's how to grab them by the balls!" Feeling.

That was a sign of weakness on the part of the government.

A smarter move would have been to allow them carry out a couple more bombings, and then declare a state of emergency as a result. It would have made those nitwits sympathetic-to-their-cause government of theirs sit up. That's if they aren't even the instigators.

The government gave up way too soon. Sad thing is, they did in a cowardly manner while they were so close to achieving results!

bros how do u want them to do now? Any harsh move now, u hear people shouting of human right abuse and also it could result in collateral damage.

FG share is not 87%... Fg receives 56%, States share 44%

I'm Urhobo but we can obviously see that this man isn't entirely condemning the actions of the militants. He is only doing so sentimentally. At the very least He subtly wants the federal government to replicate anything done for the ijaws in other parts of the Delta or risk the up spring of many other terrorist groups.

Whether or not the militants are fighting for their selfish interest is not my business because some of their demands are sensible and no one can deny.

The ND should be the most developed part of this country but it has been largely neglected by the FG. Oil companies that should have their headquarters in the ND have them at Lagos and Abuja, generating more revenue to those states while the communities where the crude is drilled are left devastated and its inhabitants living in penury.

Its quite obvious that negiotiating with the NDA won't stop the agitations, only True Federalism will and that's what every Niger Deltan wants.

why wount they locate there headquaters in lagos and abuja, have u checked d level of insecurity. Even 70percent of oil spills are done by miscreants and thats d truth they wount let u know.

There has always been an uprising. Between 1999-2003 the struggle for resource control was at its climax. I still remember then, the former governor of Akwa Ibom - Obong Victor Attah and some other South South governors fought tooth and nail to ensure the region controlled it's resources. This is actually another dimension driven by a younger population. If the struggle of then could yield only 13%... A diffrent approach has to be taken to get better results. The Niger Delta want to control their resources just as every other region is doing.
I don't support the idea of having a sovereign state, but if that is part of their agitation - they have their exclusive right to do so. It's the wearer of the shoes that knows where it incomvienices him the most.

Insecurity?
Hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahaha.
So they are safe when drilling oil in the Niger Delta but won't feel safe locating their head offices in the same Niger Delta.
If they can mouth infrastructures worth billion of dollars in the area... What then would they be scared about?
The location of the head office is just politics man.
Imagine an Ogoni man going to Lagos for a job interview of an oil company located in his backyard.
I laugh in pigin.

Hypocrite!!

So ND isn't safe for location of Headquarters but for oil theft?? When has PH not been peaceful?

Like you dont know Shell HQ is still in warri/ PH cant remember now, Chevron and Mobil left Warri to PH and then to Lagos complaining abt the insecurity.

100% correct.

All what you have written above is unnecessary. The question remains, where was the uprising in the last administration. The administration that was headed by their son. Maybe he was truly a coward and as fondly called ineffectual buffoon.

There has always been a struggle sire.
In the last administration, leaders and delegates from the South-South used the CONFAB as a platform to revive the need for true federalism and resource control. Please where is that report and the recommendations?
All these name-calling, GEJ blame-game and diversion of attention from the focal point which is the call for resource control and true federalism would only but further aggravate Nigeria's problems and regional relationship.

We- the Igbos- like the Ijaws. In the Niger Delta region, It's only Ijaw women that give birth to real men. Any Ijaw girl here?

They both have their headquarters in Lagos.

Read properly before you quote me next time. I said from warri to PH then to LAGOS. I had to put it in caps for you just incase you have an eye problem.

Millerz:
Writing in bold won't make your comment more accurate or dumb, if it already is.

Who is greedy here? The militants and the entire Niger Delta asking for True Federalism (control of their own wealth) , or the government that steals and has been stealing our oil wealth for decades now, giving us a meagre 13% while we bear the devastation??

You say 13% is meagre? That sum amounted to roughly N10b monthly all through GEJ's administration. That, added to federal allocation which is about the highest in the country. Not forgetting the NDDC and the ND ministry. Sis, let's call a spade a spade. Its our own immediate leaders that have failed us the most.

If Lagos state with a population of over 9m can be run with about N33b monthly, I see no reason why Delta state with a population of about 4m cannot be run with about N18b monthly ( thats aside NDDC and FG ministry funds).

Now for people who think that the NDA are fighting for the Niger-Deltans, think again. The statement from the Urhobos and the Isokos confirms what I've been saying. Resource control will only lead to ethnic conflicts. No ethnic group in the region will roll over and allow the other control the resources. Not forgetting that the Biafrans also have their eyes on the oil. I just hope we don't go the way of South Sudan.

with all d cultist clash, kidnaping and randsomin? Chaotic city planning? D niger delta region needs more of visionary leaders like akpabio,duke and ben bruce, not embezlers and looters. Thats d only thing that can spurn growth of that region even ahead of lagos and abuja.otherwise give them 100percent d region will still be chaotic
