Newshelmboss: The new deadly militant group, the Asawana Deadly Force of Niger Delta, ADFND, which on Thursday claimed to have taking over from the Niger Delta Avengers, NDA, yesterday slated the date it would bomb some strategic bridges in the country.
The group sets Saturday July 2nd, 2016,as the day it will bomb Bonga Field, Onitsha -Asaba bridge, Third Mainland bridge, and other major bridges across the southern of the country.
A statement by the group, signed by its leader, Commander Olomubini Kakarakokoro, a.k.a No Mercy, “We are bombing Bonga field, Onitsha -Asaba bridge, Third Mainland Bridge, and other major bridges across the southern of the country, on Saturday 2nd July, 2016.”
“This is not a mere threat. The only way out is for the Federal Government to relocate all headquarters of major oil companies to Niger Delta. They are built with our oil money. They must be moved back to the Niger Delta region.”
The group sternly warn the federal government to take its threat serious.
myhotbrain: At the above bold quote from the authors:
It is quite unfortunate and misinformation to equate the so called violent protests or rather agitation for independence in the Niger Delta area to the Brexit--which is an acronym for BRITISH EXIT FROM EUROPIAN UNION.
Britain is already an INDEPENDENT, though, an amalgamation of more than one country existing well before joining the EU. Britain willingly joined EU and NOW WILLINGLY opted out of EU through a referendum.
On then other hand, NIGER DELTA AREA AND THE SO CALLED BIAFRA AGITATORS are part and parcel of an entity called Nigeria since 1914 through an amalgamation by our colonial masters. Together these aforementioned areas including the rest of the southwestern areas and all of the northern areas jointly called Nigeria applied for and got INDEPENDENCE from our colonial masters ENGLAND/BRITAIN in 1960.
Put simply, all am saying is that whilst EU members (free and independent states/nations) freely joined the EU and can exit freely from EU as just being done by Britain.
Same cannot be said for the so called BIAFRA AGITATORS AND THEIR NIGER DELTA WARRIORS because they were part and parcel of Nigeria from the existence of Nigeria in the first place.
The case of the above mentioned will just be like saying, THE CITY OF LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER AREAS IN THE UK are causing violent protests and agitations to SECEDE/SEEK INDEPENDENCE from ENGLAND because they have just discovered large deposits of oil and diamond in their areas, and at the same time, the natives of these areas felt like the rest of ENGLAND/BRITAIN/UK are discriminating against them or worse, they are under-developing them, even though, they are being led by people from their immediate tribe and ethnic affiliations.
CONCLUSION:
We must stop fuelling the ember of violence by misinforming the gullible masses of this nation. If Niger Delta and BIAFRA must secede from Nigeria, it cannot be done through force or violent agitations and definitely not through any referendum as "peacefully" as is just been done in the BRITAIN. It would involve a lot more from all the six-geo political zones of Nigeria by ONLY PATRIOTIC AND SELFLESS LEADERS who will be able to manage all the inherent dangers and entanglements involved within the six-zones.
The wanton destruction of oil and gas assets by militants/agitators cannot and will not succeed in the balkanization of Nigeria, if anything, it would ONLY LEAD TO A MUCH WORSER CONFLICT THAN THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA with all its human sufferings and casualities. MUCH WORSE THAN THE FIRST CIVIL WAR BETWEEN NIGERIA AND THE SO CALLED BIAFRA.
SO BE WARNED, ALL YE MERCHANTS OF VENICE, THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA AND HER TEEMING YOUTHS REST IN ACTIONS AND INACTIONS, AND MOST DEFINITELY IN YOUR MISINFORMATION AND MIS-EDUCATION OF OUR YOUTHS.
Kenya faces capital flight as investors seek safe havens like US treasuries, falling exports, and pressure on the Kenyan shilling.
“It’s going to affect all of us and there’s no insurance, no position we can take to maneuver ourselves to be in a better position,” central bank head Patrick Njoroge,said last month of the possibility of the UK leaving the EU.For now, the bank says it is prepared to handle any shocks with foreign reserves of 560 billion Kenyan shillings($5.6billion), enough to cover five months of imports. Still, a weaker Kenyan shilling will make imports more expensive for a country whose import bill has been increasing more than 10% a yearover the last five years.
One of Kenya’s top exports, cut flowers, could suffer, according to the Kenya Flowers Association. Over a third of the EU’s cut flower imports come from the EastAfrican country. And the UK and the Netherlands, another country threatening to leave the EU, are the top destinations for Kenyan exports, mainly flowers. If at rade deal between the East African Community and the EU is stalled because of Brexit, Kenya would be looking at a loss of 4 billion Kenyan shillings a month, according to the association.
Renegotiating trade deals is likely to “create more uncertainty for Kenyan exports,” according to Khan of Standard Chartered.
Falling demand as a result of a slowdown or return to recession in the UK and the EU would also be bad for Kenyan trade.But it’s not all bad news. Kenya’s ties with Britain are deep and longstanding so bilateral trade and investment are likely to continue. In some ways Kenya could even benefit, according to some analysts.
The UK may be eager to establish bilateral ties afterleaving the EU, giving Kenya leverage.
The end of “British Outwardness”
Other countries on the continent are bound to be affected as well. In Egypt, the main stock index fell 1.3%, with investors worrying about a loss of British investment and demand for Egyptian exports.
The central bank of Mauritius issued a statement today (June 24th) that it had raised its reserves of gold and US dollars to reduce exposure to the pound.
“Should the need arise, the bank stands ready to take measures as appropriate to protect the best economic interests of Mauritius in the circumstance,” theregulator said.
Analysts question how Brexit will affect the EU’s support of agricultural subsidies, which critics say have hurt African farmers. The UK has been one of the bloc’s most staunch opponents of these subsidies. African countries may also have less access to international capital markets and big infrastructure projects may have to be put on hold, according to Khan.More broadly, analysts from Brookings Institution worry about how Brexit will affect the UK’s overall engagement with Africa.
As head of the G8 last year, the UK pledged to double aid to Africa. The UK has been the largest funder to IDA17, the World Bank’s concessional borrowing program.The think tank concluded ina blog post, “Perhaps the biggest impact of the Brexiton Africa would be the end of British “outwardness”—the country’s concern with and responsiveness to global development issues.”
Is Nigeria in the EU? It might even get better.
Just like saying Nigeria leaving Ecowas will affect UK.
Basically it's so DEy can deport ppl using EU human rights
djlaqua91: This is why I so dislike this so-called foreign powers. This Brexit was mainly swayed by immigration, racism, islamophobia and xenophobic fears. You bombed many of these nations and now they're homeless you can't let them in. You colonized half the world and exploited our resources, used us to fight your wars but don't want our descendants to leave with you. Gerrahia men. Shii
No be by force to go dubai. that island is so small but over populated.
What tipped the scale is the mass migration of syrians into germany and france. they will ultimately find there way to UK.
What is suprising is why the syrians didnt go to saudi or dubai which is there brothers land
HassanTewogbade: We yoruba muslims maintain that our children must wear our Isamic hijab in Baptist, methodist and all other Christian missionary school but the traditionalists and Christians do not have a right to wear their Ifa beads and Cele headgear to school because we muslims own Osun state. Laila ilala!
U Arab slave open u r eyes. Islam is a ticking time bomb that shd be fat sway from Africa of u want peace and progress.
Ur unborn generation will curse u in Ur grave because u allow stone age Arab religion to dominate u.
magicminister: THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. BILL BOARD WORLD MUSIC CHART IS DIFFERENT FROM BILLBOARD TOP 100. THE TOP 100 CHART IS WEHRE THE CREME D LA CREME AT. MATTER OF FACT, NO NIGERIAN ARTISTE HAS EVER MADE IT TO THE TOP 100 CHART.
naptu2: [size=14pt]List of some nigerians that have been ranked on Billboard charts.[/size]
Billboard Magazine is a popular music magazine. It (along with Right On Magazine) was very popular in Nigeria in the 1980s and '90s. Billboard is also well known for its popular music charts, the most famous of which are the Hot 100 Chart and the 200 Album Chart.
Babatunde Olatunji also featured on the album Planet Drum, which was number 1 on the Billboard World Music Album Chart in 1991 and won a Grammy Award for best world music album (also in 1991).
2) Sikiru Adepoju was the second nigerian that featured on the album, Planet Drum which was number 1 on the Billboard World Music Album Chart in 1991 and won a Grammy Award for best world music album (also in 1991).
5) Dr Alban's It's My Life was number 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music Club Play chart, number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart, number 28 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart and number 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1992. (This song was also used in adverts and soap operas in the UK, Germany and India).
11) Wizkid was number 97 on the Billboard 100 Artists Chart in May 2016.
Wizkid also featured with Kyla on Drake's song titled One Dance, which got to number 1 on the Billboard Twitter Last 24 Hours Chart on April 12, 2016. The Billboard Twitter Last 24 Hours Chart is a relatively new chart and Wizkid is the first nigerian to feature on this specific chart. The song also got to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Starlet50: First of all,it's YORUBA not yoloba.secondly,we are descendants of the seven(maybe nine not sure) sons of Oduduwa and we migrated from Mecca not from the sky.Did I hear u say the thread is an insult to Ibo guys?? U really nid to get rid of your tribalistic mentality cos ur culture is not superior to the fulanis not to talk of Yoruba.Bloody Tribalist!!!!!
olayinka63: I can smell pains, hatred and bigotry in you. with islam painted with propaganda, people are still coming in. you can not stop it you can only rant online
Islam is killing itself gradually. All the bigotry and hate to the so called Kaffir will back fire.
8BitGee: Seriously, I think it's high time Nigeria bans silly bodies like CAN. Others countries are facking leaving us behind! Nigeria is just stuck with puerile ethnoreligious nonsense. WTF?
People everywhere wear hijab, why can't people just concentrate on things that matter? Like asking the government for more funding for schools, refresher courses for teachers, better performance from wassce?
EazyMoh: Show me anywhere in Africa where students go to school with charms or even move about in Church garments or to school. I was only trying to accommodate everyone if that would make peace reign. But we all know our today's education system is modeled to fit Christians perfectly, without regard for Muslims. it's only fair their religious obligation is considered. It is categorically stated in the Quran Muslim females shall cover themselves wherever they go. Nowhere in the Holy Bible it says they should wear Church garments (Cele, Apostolic, MFM or whatever) even to go to Church not to talk of going to any other place. Native traditional religions are not the issue here. it's between Christians and Muslims.
How is it modelled to fit christain when muslim make them self exception. What u shd get in your mind is that first of all as africans we do not cover up like masquerade or cover hair. The women plait hair maybe when they go to occasion they cover their hair with gele and that is sw.
In nigeria we are a multi religious country do no think someppl do not beleive in african traditional religion. some ppl still pray to God directly without any foreign proxy prophet or saviour.
Either way poverty has turned Nigeria into fanatics. They more religious we are the worse we have become.
What about the ppl who do not beleive in the existence of a God--are u saying they dont exist.
Let us use our brain which as africans we have not been using that is why the arabs and jews were able to colonise us in the first place.
Arab or Jew never colonised China which is more than 50% of world population and the china of today is one of the richest country in the world. Also china didnt go on an imperalism campaign unlike the other too. If not some low thinking africans would have been claiming Maoist like an umbical cord to a mother
EazyMoh: @City guy SC31 tomzman The bottom line is those Christians supported by CAN are just being mischievous and intolerant. Of all the religions in the world, none is categorical about mode of dressing (of females) like Islam. Muslim would NEVER compromise religious duties just to belong. World over Muslim females wear their hijab wherever they go as I mentioned. Because Ogun or Lagos or whatever bans Hijab in public schools in the south doesn't make it RIGHT! What would you say if all students in Sharia states are ordered to wear ankle length Hijab in public schools. This debate has been on going for decades, because the education system and in fact every institution of governance in this country has been designed to conform 100% with Christianity without any regard to other faith. And you turn around and call the country secular? Then a tiny issue as allowing little school girls who chose to wear just small hijab is making you and your CAN leaders foam in the mouth like your lives depend on it. Below would tell you how the world sees Hijab, the west you love to worship in particular.
will u allow babalawo child to wear his charms to school?. Since evrybody is free to worship oor be a member of any religion.
Lets us use our Brain we are africans first of all from the creator. not muslim or christian -
all this two religions are the prodcut of slave trade and colonialism whether u like it or not
olaitanReal: [b]OUR STAND IS CLEAR, WE UNDERSTAND YOU, WE SEEK YOUR UNDERSTANDING Dear Bigotic Friends, That murderer in Kaduna hiding under the cloak of Ramadan to perpetuate evil should be charged for murder, The killers in Kano, hiding under the pretense of blasphemy, should be charged to court. Yinusa; that young man from Kano that allowed a minor (Nigerian constitution) to elope with her for love should be made a scape goat. We all agree on these, we spent our time to establish justice. Many people from different faith joined reasonable Muslims to ask for equality and justice when the culprit are Muslims but when justice favours Islam, we hibernate in our shell of bigotry. When the missionary brought Christianised western education, they came with standards established on christianity. We accepted without queries because its not against our faith, there is no reason to object, hatred has no space in ISLAM. We see no reason to oppose for the sake of opposition and hatred. The missionary came with a dressing that is in tandem with the teachings of the christian faith (use of beret and pinafore), we have no cause to complain because it has no bearing on our faith. We accepted everything as we were taught, you told us we have freedom to express our faith (Though our religion taught us that before western education came). Now, we ask the constitution to grant us what is left to complete our faith in the dressing mode, we will put on the same uniform you gave us, BUT WE WANT TO ADD THE HIJAB TO COVER OUR HEAD BECAUSE IT IS A REQUIREMENT OF OUR RELIGION TO COVER OUR HEAD FROM A STRANGER EVERYTIME AND EVERYWHERE. How have we sinned for asking for our right? A right that has been granted by a competent court of jurisdiction. The hijab is permitted in Federal Government schools already, the hijab is permitted in the university, why this hatred for my daughters? The same right you preached for years, the same right we join you in upholding when we denounce our wayward brothers when they err, the same right that has been granted in the UK, Italy, US, Canada etc. I wonder how the Hijab affect your daughter's studies, how does it affect your faith, how does it affect your well-being. If indeed you are truthful for what you preach, do we need to ask the court to grant us this right, is it not just a matter of understanding that you tell me to practice my faith with due happiness? Should you not even call me to order when I fail to uphold what my religion ask me to (Indeed, I have reasonable friends that call me to order on my faith and I appreciate that). This and many more explains the bigotry in CAN and you that supports CAN. This explains why it is hard for me to easily support justice when the campaign for justice is from you. You hide under freedom to label ISLAM and MUSLIMS evil. That same freedom when skewed away from your end, your bigotry and hatred precipitates. Justice will not be done to this issue if I ignore the hypocritic bigots masquerading as activists. Their silence speaks volume. The silence that was buried for the incidents in Kano and Kaduna. I understand your plight, your definition of activism and social justice is all about HATRED FOR MUSLIMS AND ISLAM. I can imagine what would have happened if a school in the North says all students in government schools should put on the hijab. I can imagine if Ansarudeen Grammar School in IWO says all the student in the school should put on the hijab compulsorily. Surely, the inmate of Heaven would have been sent packing. Perhaps I should bring to your consciousness, we will keep asking for equality as Muslims. Christians conduct assemblies in secondary schools for 4 days, we keep shut, Thats how reasonable we are! We have not asked for a work-free Friday, Thats how reasonable we are! We have not asked for over flowing garment for our girls, Thats how reasonable we are! We didnt ask for the hijab to be compulsory for you! We leave you to live your life how you want it, so why should we live our live not how we want it but how you want us to live it? The next time your squall for justice and I decline not joining your skewed cause, remember your definition of justice is themed ANTI-ISLAM. Oh Bigotic friends feigning activism, I need to tell you that the Hijab will not impact your life for a bit, your silence on the impunity of CAN speaks volume for your definition of justice, my definition of Justice has no religion dimension. Thank You[/b]
[size=20pt] islam is the bigoted religion and we don't want it in Nigeria or Africa any more-Back to sender in Saudi arabia[/size]
HaroldFinch: Are you sure you finished the clip? please watch again and modify your comment to " This guy claims Islam incites people but realized his misconceptions and got angry... then agreed that Muslims are good people but terrorists are bad"
There are criminals everywhere. I don't get why people try to make it a thing of Islam when people commit crimes in the name of Islam but take a different view when the criminal is not a Muslim. Where do we place for instance the white man that opened fire in a black church in the US? I think we should deal with criminals, not religion.
He said the average person who might be a Muslim might be a good person but if he chooses to follow the instructions in the Koran he will.become a bigot and hater of non muslims.
Donariok: THIS Ooni IS SO FU¢KED OFF. WOH HIS BUSINESS WID PHILADELPHIA'S BRIDGE IN USA? WELL, THAT IS WOT MY BROTHERS FROM THE SOUTH WA$TE ARE KNOWN FOR. THEY LIKE "NOTICE ME" ATTITUDE. AND THE GULLIBLE FOLLOWERS WILL BE SAYING DEY ER SPREADING THEIR TRIBE.
ONE MINUTE OF SILENT FOR THE ODUDUWAS.

OYA START QUOTING ME
When the Arabs and jews are doing their own in africa. U go.dey open teeth like donkey.
After all oyinbo Don colonize you for u r own land u must talk to u r self in oyinbo man language.
the whole north has been colonized by arabs, the whole of east has been colonized by jews.
And u go open ur teeth again when dem behead ur sister based on Arabian culture.
Chinese ppl sef dem there own na through food. Any country u go must have Chinese restaurant.
If Indonesia want destroy naija na through indomie wwy don become national food.
Free d guy im go beg oyinbo spirit to free us from their domination and winchin.
Know2020: Videos below will tell if yorubaas are cowards or not. The only two generals that have ever knelt down, cried and begged for their lives in the history of the world were yorubaas.
ur a fool and a hypocrite, one man begging or using his brain for his life whats the big deal. Na only one Jesus wey go offer himself as sacrifice. live to die another day. the man was thinking about torture and disgrace
aloziedaya: Yes I know how difficult things are in Nigeria right now. Everyday I read and hear from the media news and articles about Nigeria that trouble the heart. Life in Europe is better in terms of basic needs as humans, but socially it has decayed beyond imagination. The future of our children is at stake here socially and morally. The western culture is eating deep in our children. So I'm considering bringing my family down to Nigeria to train them in our own culture. Do you think I'm making a mistake? Please your candid advice.
Can't u ask u r family members in Nigeria why ask on naira land that is full of sufferhead and hungry people. For example If u ask dangote dis same question he w iill tell u he is building a refinery.
In Europe all u yrs of education can be thrown into dustbin
yusufibrahim: It surprises me Wen we see a pervert and call them Muslims.... Muslims are peace loving people they don't take life the can't create so I don't know why u attributes those as Muslims Islam is a religion of peace all those perpetrating those dastardly act cannot be called muslim.
Islam is a religion of war created out of necessity and it is submission where the Muslim is a slave and Allah is the master while in Christianity the Christian is the child and God is the father.
Look at their leaders father's name Abdullah which means slave of Allah etc
If muslims follow the instructions of the quran intoto there will be more violence now.
my own is that Islam is a propagation of Arab culture and Africans must not continue to be mentally submissive to this ppl.
the Arab man and the jew hate each other now africa.man is joining in that matter.
both Arabs and jews dislike Africans. Go to Arab country and see how they treat black men Go to Isreal and see how they treat black men.
my hope is northern muslims can reason and open their.mind to know how historical slavery is the cause of all this servitude to foreign gods
Agwoden: All oil companies operating in ND should locate their head office in their region of operation. As a niger deltan, getting a job now in the oil industry is like waec because all the companies locate their offices in lagos and from there they send people. Can one imagine going from uyo to lagos to attend screening for a job which operations are in ND?
Most of the operatiin engineering and important operations are already based in Niger delta where r u getting fake.info from.
Also.u have to.make u r region more welcoming to foreigners without the fear of kidnapping and other criminal activity . After all.this companies are owned by Europeans who see only black men and not tribe. Even be they set into Plane there embassy has warned them don't step into ND or NE.
Lastly a business is a business a company will hire a.person with.the mental ability or talent to do the job and they select 70% based on merit and not tribal nepotism..
Niger delta need to rebrand there region to.be friendly to foreigners.and.other tribes.
Look at the big.cities of.the world they are open to outsiders. Open door.policy has advantages.and disadvantages.
