Every leader in Nigeria since independence has failed the people. They are all corruption personafied. Ibb is the worst of them all. 2. Those governors (old and new) from Niger Delta states are high level thieves/robbers, night operators and also sponsors of militants. They stole or robbed all the monetary accruals from 13% oil region derivation that they could have used to develop the villages and make life meaningful to the people of Niger Delta like some states in Nigeria. They shipped the cash abroad and built mansions for themselves, wives and children, and praise singers allover the world. 3. However, the solution is not in militancy. Militancy is criminality as they kidnap and kill innocent people - even their own people they claim to be fighting for. As said by one writer, we agree that the militants are old-time thieves and killers in their various communities. They are school drop-ous, drug consumers and smokers and dare-devil boys in the villages whom everyone including their elders fear very much to talk to. They found the illicit job very lucrative and decided to drop armed robbery and bank robbery in cities to faced oil bunkering and sea piracy as well as general militant activities. 4. Let us call a spade its real name. If the militants are genuine fighters of the ND region, how many development projects have they embarked upon on their own to help their people with the millions of Dollars they have made over the years from illegal oil activities? For eg some communities embark upon self help developmental activities, and invite their friends and companies, State govt, LGA, etc for donation. How many have they done.These militants have made millions of US Dollars through their illegal operations but still there is nothing to show for it in their villages. They cannot provide ordinary borehole water for their people to drink from. Where is the money? They use it only to carry women and live high lives in the creeks and sometimes in cities. They use same to acquire more weapons of destruction. to terrorize the creeks and water ways. 4. Nigerians we forget too easily. Why did Julius Berger leave Niger Delta and abandoned the road project. Why kidnapping and/or killing of the contractors and workers providing social amenities for the people? Still someone will call the action "Emancipation". This is not the type of "emancipation we need". SaroWiwa has done it well and we should borrow a leaf from him. 5.I very much agree with the comments made by one of the writers. They are stated below: "the clarmour for the emancipation of the region is and has been fought by the very true sons of the region(KEN SARO WIWA)everyother fighters there today are ROBBERS,they are the bad elements in their society,useless youths who were armed by the politicians and local village heads turned millitants today,thiefs who are the night maruaders of the vicinty,and killers of joys of the few hardworking youths,sorrow carriers and death harbingers to their fellow villagers,if i may ask you the politicians that sent you this errand,HOW MANY OF THEIR RELATIVES OR SONS ARE FIGHTING WITH ARMS ALONGSIDE WITH YOU?they have accumulated moneys and using you as baits to strenghten their financial base,and using you to destroy your own village,imagine the levels of your gullibility!yet those cliaming they are fighting for the cause of the region are yesyeryears ROBBERS and BUNKERRS,enemy of state,now turn MESSIAH,the ASARI DOKUBO you all are praising was once for your info a notorious robber with TOM ATEKE until when sharing formular was usrup by their boss then they fell out amonugts themsefl,today ASARI is the sefl acclaimed MESSIAH,and a local folk hero,news reaching my hearing say that he is even prepering to hit the senate by next general election,pls fellow raders tell me,IN A STATE WHERE RITIRED ARM ROBBERS AND SERIAL KILLERS MAKE LAWS,WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE FATE OF THE CITIZENS OF SUCH A NATION" The following are my views:

And therefore are sending all the future leaders of the region, you call militants as their messenger to the govt. How then can you promise 5obillion to a messenger? Does that help the message? What is the wisdom and justice in embracing a mere messenger and rejecting the message or the agriefed master? Were Isaac Boro , Ken, Kaima declaration, and Asari Dukubo not messengers offered different nigeria govt evil gifts. Has those offers detered the message from lovers of their Region? What is the image of Nigeria today before the world? Mr. President, will fiscal and true federalism harm your personal family? was your family part of the oath of office takien or the general wel-being of the Nigerian State? It will be an uphill task to come to an agreement with this people when finally they have stopped all the oil as you can see that God is on their side today. former president shehu Shagari once said, his worst enemy were not the general public that was making constructive criticism, but the so called closest friends and advicers around him when he was in the control of power. so he knew more of what would have been the best for Nigeria after his reign than when he was intoxicated with power. What the soldiers and Yaradua govt. here called Fed govt of Nigeria, should know is that from all indication, every sons and daughters of the N/D are agrief with events in the region. And therefore are sending all the future leaders of the region, you call militants as their messenger to the govt.
How then can you promise 5obillion to a messenger? Does that help the message? What is the wisdom and justice in embracing a mere messenger and rejecting the message or the agriefed master?
Were Isaac Boro , Ken, Kaima declaration, and Asari Dukubo not messengers offered different nigeria govt evil gifts.
Has those offers detered the message from lovers of their Region?
What is the image of Nigeria today before the world? Mr. President, will fiscal and true federalism harm your personal family? was your family part of the oath of office takien or the general wel-being of the Nigerian State? It will be an uphill task to come to an agreement with this people when finally they have stopped all the oil as you can see that God is on their side today.

My friends we all know even if each Deltan was given USD 1Bn per month you all would find something else to complain about. My advise is keep blowing up the pipes your bleak future would surely tell you how your past stupidity has been limitless.
