Lol. E don start? Abeg make una declare fast, naija don tire person!

It will require God's grace for Nigeria to be whole and prosperous. A country were her citizens humiliate, stone her president because of politics and a section of the country feel it's ok and applaud such acts!

At this rate, can the common man make it to 2019? The future looks bleaker by the day and there seems to be no succor at the end of the horizon! Will things get better when the elections are here again?

People are dying silently in this country. What a fate that has befallen the country!

The worst of it all is that the government doesn't even know the hardship people are going through or rather choose to believe it's all propaganda! To them, the daily cries and complaints on the streets are all propaganda and are from aggrieved people who do not like the government!

To them, reality is propaganda and propaganda is reality, because that's their stock in trade and no one can do it better!

Just in one year, everything has slid so deep into abyss such that things that are supposed to be within the reach of the common man are now luxuries, crime on the streets is on the rise, all the economic indicators are plummeting, national integration is pulled apart by each action of the government! Yet the government seem not to care or believe it's propaganda!

Every now and then they come to bandy supposedly recovered loot in spite of which they still go on borrowing to do, who knows what? It is well!

Lol

Thank God the VP is fighting for the Niger Delta! It's alright! Why is it that people know what is wrong and still behave as if all is well? What is he doing about the issues raised by the people? If they are fighting for their pockets, does that stop him from doing what is right? Must there be a fight before what is right is done?

Good job. We shall decide how our resources are used someday.

If the op and whatever parasitic region or tribe he represents were not LAZY why depend so much on the resources of the IJAWS? How much do you know the Ijaws to say that their agitation for a better living standard enhanced by the resources taken from their land to better other places, is out of place? That other tribes within the Niger Delta do not complain means there is no reason for the Ijaws to complain! Wonders! It seems like you reason with your stomach! Shame.

OK

Kenai:
Please, read carefully:

.

In other words, Buhari has appointed Hassan Bello, who was the NSC Executive Secretary, as the new Chairman of the Implementation Committee for the new national carrier.

If you want it in pidgin:

Buhari don appoint Hassan Bello, wey dey work as NSC Executive Secretary before before, as de new abboki wey go oversee the new erroplen company wey Naija wan bring on board.

If you also want it in Igbo:

Abboki emego ihe e jiri mara ya.

Take your pick.

Lol.
In APC Formula: Nigeria = North and others.

Those who have ears should hear and do the needful before we start hearing stories that touch the heart!
So far, the only Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, aka Government Ikpuduminiowie Ikpemupolo Ibe-ibidowei Tompolo has been reluctant to go brutal and trying to make peace but those who want his resources will want him out of the way by all means. Time will tell!

Fulani people in collaboration with some misguided Yoruba miscreants, who under duress, are trying to please their masters by terrorising their land, but they decide to look the other way and point fingers at Ijaw people. What is the interest of Ijaw people or Niger Delta in Ogun?

Commendable!

This is most likey Sylver's hand on a polarizing trajectory.

This should be a defining moment for the people of Niger Delta. They should keep personal interests aside and work in the common interest of all to achieve a better Niger Delta that we all can be proud of. Each passing day, the future looks bleaker for the average Niger Deltan as his resources are carted away to develop other regions while he wakes up only to be smeared in the face with the debris left behind! They take away your resources and tell you it's the decision of the majority! When you complain they tell you it's democraZy and that things go the way of the majority. When you do a cosmetic surgery on the truth and present it to a people, its effect won't last as its true nature will be discovered sooner or later. For the Avengers, as long as you stay true to your desire to see a better Niger Delta, you'll have sympathizers. God bless your struggle.

Which way Nigeria? Where injustice is promoted these things are bound to happen. If the country cannot see justice in taking deliberate effort to develop the region it depends so heavily on for survival now, is it when the economy is diversified and every region is self-reliant and the oil is of little or no value that it would be deemed fit to develop it? A country where a region is seen to be only good for exploitation is bound to have a date with societal unrest and anarchy. When you are on the ground already, you fear no fall anymore. Just hold on tightly to any part of your opponent that makes him uncomfortable.

coldFLARES1:
That is my problem exactly. These Ijaw people are the most savage in the Niger Delta, moving in herds like cows; very spontaneous and volatile and extremely problematic. They assume lordship because other ethnic nationalities are not as canterkerous.

It's only a matter of time before they'll have their cup running over! Meantime, EFCC should continue hunting down their moneybags who have corruption baggage; the FG should stop the Presidential Amnesty Programme because they are the sole beneficiaries and to effective curtail them, allies should be raised from other ethnic stock to totally decimate their lords, marshal and sponsors.

The last suggestion may be difficult, especially disarmament after a successful operation. Long live the FRN

The smoky matter in your head that controls your asinine thinking process and wobbly fingers to type this rubbish is not helping you.

Who answers MEND in the Niger Delta?

So they now have weapons bought by the previous administration and they are not substandard...it's well!

It surprises me that you hear of OTHER NIGER DELTANS only when sharing of something is involved but they all hide in times of crises, leaving the Ijaws to fight alone. Which of the other niger deltans complaining have ever assumed a frontline position in any struggle in the niger delta? Nonesense.

They will hold community leaders responsible? How many community leaders did they hold responsible for the boko haram carnage in the north? They should be careful the way they go about this thing else they attract other people into the fight.

Ganjafama:
I am a Niger Deltan to the core: Itsekiri to be precise. I have crude oil in my great-grandfather's backyard. Why am I not going about blowing pipelines all over the place? Even the so-called amnesty is being paid to mostly the Ijaws. A nonentity like Tompolo cannot keep holding the nation to ransome. I repeat, if he is found guilty he should face the law.

Can you name one good thing your presence in the niger delta has attracted to it?

dearpreye:
I won't stop at supporting any people who want to decide their fate and chart their own destiny. It's never in my nature to mock and abuse those who feel they can get a better package in their own system.....its a fundamental human right enshrined in the UN charters. ..you know these things, brother. .....


When are we going to have our own referendum? You amuse me to no ends.....stand for your people.....stop strengthening the arms of those who seek to kill yours deploying whatever guise or ploy...

I don't patronise anyone; I just have an arrogance towards the truth. You need to stand for something. Your recent messages are confusing me. .....I don't even know who you are.....seriously.....

My community and other Izon villages have always been denigrated be the same ungrateful Nigerian government using different excuses. ....but I will NEVER blame any ND person who uses whatever means available to them to secure their wealth and fortunes.

If the FG wants to drop the bombs let them drop them. Our present situation as a people is just a step above the grave. My greatest loyalty is to the Izon people and I will forever support Tompolo and others.

Learn to make a stand on something. It's even better to be convinced about an evil stance than be a pendulum.

My brother, I give it to you on this. That guy you quoted is too whimsical to know where he stands or what he stands for. No convictions about anything!
Any direction the wind blows it carries him along!
He's just all over nairaland embarrassing the Ijaw nation with some warped notion of 'Ijaw representative'.

I have never seen a human being so cheap and unstable, who craves so badly for attention to the extent that he tunes his mind to anywhere attention is likely to come from and once he receives the signals, he begins to dance unclad to get the attention! Shameful!

The Ijaws are not cowards. Tonye or whatever he is known by, should not make himself the voice of the Ijaws.

We all know what nigeria is; it is not a place where things are what they seem.

He claims to be an Ijaw man but at the same time massaging the ego of those who think very low of him and would waste no time to remind him of it.

He can genuflect, prostrate, roll, go nude or do whatever that brings him the attention he so desperately seeks but only as an individual and not a representative of the Ijaws.

He can write all the epistles to his masters who have been magnanimous enough to consider him a citizen and a human being but not as the views of the Ijaws.

ChristStriker:
Just imagine how these ijaws reason like todlers, tompolo has Nigeria's N13b+ with him and he must return our money. The FG can use that money to pay arreas of civil servants.

Just read your post and ask yourself if you're not stupid.

hmohammed:
Rubbish. U think dis is Jonathan's era?. That place should be totally levelled. Nonesense

Do you think with somewhere else other than your head?

If you think General Government Ikpemupolo Ikpuduminiowei Tompolo is alone, you're sitting on a long thing.

A country that is said to be broke is giving out 14m dollars to capture one man? Anyway, there is no such news.

General Government Ekpemupolo Ikpuduminiowei Tompolo is not a push over. He's a general, leader and government on his own o!

He's not a king.
