A country where the first thing the leaders think about is how to favour the tribe they come from at the detriment of others will always end up like Nigeria.

Gone are the days of Nationalists like Azikwe and Awolowo. Those ones think about what favours the whole country before remembering their tribes. Obasanjo too tried in that area. It should be Nigeria first before, Yoruba, Ibo and Hausa.

I think it is high time we started to think about how to split in peace. Let each region be on their own so that we could make decisions that would favour us all. Nigeria is due for break up. And let us do it peacefully without war.


So annoying what those who call themselves lawmakers sit down to discuss at the floor of the house when there are other pressing issues that would be beneficial to all and sundry.

I give up on Nigeria already. Smh


Nigeria cannot break up into pieces without war and chaos.
That is why many of us are against it.


Its reorientation we need

The truth is, Amnesty either for ND militants or Boko haram should never have been!
There is absolutely no justification for forgiving criminals and paying them or catering for there welfare regardless of the cause they claim to be fighting for!
Late Umaru Yar Ardua set a bad precedent by granting amnesty to terrorists with the name MEND. Today BH are asking for the same.
Afterall they are both intricately intertwined
They both fought for a cause!
They both threatened the goverment!
They both employed violence
They both caused the goverment loss of lives and properties!
So yes WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GEESE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER!
AMNESTY SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN, BUT HERE WE ARE!!!


N/B; Honestly I'm tired of explaining my stand to every ignorant person that quotes me so i might as well do it here.
No matter how honourable a cause may seem to be by the propagators, THE MOMENT VIOLENCE AGAINST THE STATE IS INVOLVED IN THE FIGHT FOR THE CAUSE, IT IS NO LONGER AN AGITATION BUT AN ACT OF TERRORISM! THAT IS just how every government works!
MEND employed violence against the Nigerian state for their "honourable cause" hence in the eyes of every reasonable goverment, THEY ARE TERRORISTS!
REMEMBER HENRY OKAH?
Just like the #BlackLivesMatter movement in USA, their cause is very honourable but what do you think would have happened if they took up arms and started attacking the US Govt? THEY WOULD BE FLUSHED and tried under the terrorism act. The law wouldn't look at the cause anymore but the meduim employed in fighting the cause!
As unpleasant as it may seem even to me, MEND was a terrorist organisation and the Nigerian govt set a bad precedent by granting them amnesty!

What cause is BH fighting?

He has just told you the truth. Sit down and reason instead of doing frapapa upon nothing.

You can not compare Niger Delta Militants to Boko haram. A sane person would not do that.

ND militants were fight the Government for what they believe is their right. They were not killing and maiming innocent citizens like your brothers BK haram are doing.

Some of you guys on NL need serious Medical Checkups before things go out of hand with you.

You are kind of right bro.


Breaking up without a war is not visible. But we all know the Tribe that will start that war. Let us say unanimously We Should Break up and war will start from their region.

When all they know is doing gragra without something upstairs. Thinking every issue in this world could only be solved with Knives and swords.

It will not be well with the British who brought us together. They are the root cause of Our problems.The British caused all these.

Looking at the Tribes and our Reasoning Faculties we really do not match each other.

Some people are destined for backwardness and because of this drawing others back from moving forward.

Then how do we brake up in peace. This is the only step forward that I can see.

I love being a Nigerian.

I love everyone in Naija IBO, Hausa Yoruba.

I love every one in other religion different from mine.

But I hate all that is happening in my Country.

I am tired of Nigeria. Just fed up.

Lol it's from the southern oil blocks that are under their control. Can you imagine? Can any southerner control any major resource product in the north? The earlier we divide and control our own resources the better for our unborn children

You can be brainwashed only if you allow yourself to. How can somebody tell you to tie bomb on yourself just so you can go kill yourself and some so called non believers. How can you give someone guns to go about killing others while their leader is hiding somewhere safe. Why can't the so called brainwashed terrorist use the same bomb to kill his brainwasher? You promise me I will have 72 virgins if I bomb my self and others. Wmwhy don't you as my leader take the lead by bombing yourself or don't you want 72 virgins too?

There is nothing like amnesty for terrorists whether brainwashed or not. Once you are arrested you should be executed. You cannot kill thousands of people for years and then get amnesty claiming you were brainwashed and have repented. It's bulls.hit


You are right there is no amnesty for terrorist but you should also note that there are also foot soldiers that were kidnapped from their families even some had their families killed some were offered money. You wouldn’t understand this guys mentality until you go there Nd seehow they live.. some have never even come across anything called civilization or some of the perks we have here..there are somethings to consider but for now i hold my peace here

You don't give terrorists amnesty, you execute them !
The militants fought for their pockets not any yeye just cause. They too were terrorists
The Niger Delta problem has not been fixed whilst a few warlords feed fat

Ogoniland has not been cleaned.


Nothing wrong in given anyone amnesty but why pay them?
If you are paying them then amnesty is not the correct description

THIS IDEA IS WRONG!! VERY WRONG!!! IT WON'T BE PRODUCTIVE IT WOULD ONLY ENCOURAGE MORE TERROR GROUPS... WHY ARE THEY NOT GIVING AMNESTY TO REPENDANT ARMED ROBBERS, KIDNAPPERS AND THE REST? WHY DO WE HAVE LAWS AND SOLDIERS? WHERE IS D FUTURE AROUND THIS?

How I wish my country were as organized or civilized as most countries in the western world, but alas, it is not so.

It is just unfortunate that this reeks of a group of people who came together to do something that would rake in money just like the Niger delta amnesty programme that one still hear rumours of inconsistencies. Good ideas turned over.

Take the case of the herdsmen issue. We can't say all caught will be prosecuted neither will we talk about killing all that it won't look like genocide. An approach of divide and conquer is needed. Some will be spared provided they give useful information, ring leaders will be caught and the rest will adjust themselves.

The numbers are large and with the way they keep revamping their numbers from innocent victims, the carrot and stick method has to be put in place to slow their momentum.

State witnesses are sometimes absolved of their crimes provided they play ball with the authorities to get rid of the big fish. This is itself a statement of inefficiency of the current armed forces for not being able to do their assignment within reasonable time or that trying to do their work would lead to a larger than expected number of casualties.

Unless there is incentive for them to betray themselves, this war is far from over.

I wish the old men sense not to see this as another money venture over the blood of galant soldiers.

What of Ipob??
My point exactly.
I have never supported or suscribed to the proscription of IPOB, reason is because they have never resorted to violence against the goverment or her citizens.
And i believe the international community shares the same sentiment hence NO COUNTRY was willing to key into Igbos proscription.
But should the IPOB wake up one morning, acquire arms and start attacking the goverment, bombing establishments, killing military personel in the SE who they believe is against their referendum, their agitation would automatically become terrorism even in the eyes of the international community and that would bring the full weight of the FG on them.

But wait o, isn't that what MEND was guilty of? undecided
