Northern-HausaFulani days are numbered as any further attempt to traumatise the goal of Hurricane moses through any means of conceptionary offer of any type that they illegally possess, may be the costliest regret in their evil perseived manner. they wandered into their present normadick abode called Nigeria, where they continue to plung, loot and kill those NigerDelta-men & their oilwealth that substain their hausafunis existence in a place called Nigeria- A nation orgarnised and forcefully put together in the name celled Almagamation. what an evil manipulation ?

The bombing of Gbaranmatu which resulted in the internal displacement of the people of that region, left in its wake- gross human rights violations or abuses amounting to international crimes. The citizens there are not
asking for amnesty, to seal the crimes committed against them by the invading soldiers-How for example, do you sell amnesty to members of the families-of the Boma brothers who were murdered by JTF?There is always a human angle to an amnesty deal-concerning the current sufferings of the (infiriorized) ppl of Gharanmatu-among other oil bearing areas that were bombed by the JTF. They, have a legitimate claim to demand that, the invaders who slaughtered their mothers and fathers including children be brought to justice-For if these ongoing act of impunity by JTF is not properly checked and corrected, it will underrmine trust in Yaradua amnesty plan-Promises were made in Odi-nothing came out of it-same amnesty was dangled before Asare Dokubo, he ended up in jail-It was anmensty deal, that led Okar to his current kidney problen in detention-involve the UN and other international agencies-so that the root cause of the crisis will not be swept under the carpet for another 50yrs-the current fire-brigade amnesty scheme, is as a result of the failures-of various epileptic government policies-Rather than have our hand picked-leaders-provide LUNG service-for the masses they promised to serve-it was work from the LIPS-I just hope that, the present Yaradua amnesty package-in the Niger Delta will not make the 30million inhabitants of the area have AMNESIA-on the key points raised by MEND-that is Justice-through fiscal federalism-amnesty based on our unity and faith in the oil rescources of Bauchi state-government and the promises of Nal Allah, is quiet a shaky deal-needs to be handled with care-

Thank God for the Amnesty. We the Ijaws of Nigeria we are also thankful to God fearing Umar Yar Adua for granting this unconditional pardon. I plead with all my bothers and sisters in the creek to abandon this senseless and selfish struggle we were misled into and embrace the retrieve. We also thank God for people like Agary, Ararile,, Okiro, Abbe, Dike for advising the President correctly and without ulterior motive. If anybody has anything against the North they should remember without the North there couldnt have been Nigeria…atbest we would have become cluster of small territories if the war heroes of North Nigeria had not tamed the wild Biafrans and magnanimously adopted the philosophy no victor no vanquished to accomodate one and all. Thank God for President Umaru, may you live long to shame your detractors, in Jesus name.

MEND’s Structure must be advised to urgently warn the families of Dr. Timiebi Koripamo-Agary and Lucky Ochuko Ararile not to ever bother involving themselves as spies for the Northern government of Nigeria.
Meanwhile whoever knows the wives of Dr. Timiebi Koripamo-Agary and Lucky Ochuko Ararile should advised them to immediately call their husband back home or should be ready to mourn the death of their family members. Niger Delta Question has gone beyond sharing of the pieces from Arewa’s tables to the attainment of freedom which our hero past were extra-judicially murdered.

Rest in peace our two brothers from Bonny!
Long Live Mend!!
Long Live The Niger Delta!!!

There are IYC and MEND members and IYC and MEND members. Some of those who claim to be IYC and MEND members are briefless, rag tagged and Abuja based. Some of them have compromised themselves and they have lost credibility, with the struggle for fairness and justice in the Niger Delta. Some of them are the backers and collaborators of the criminal elements, giving very bad names, to the real struggle for fairness and justice in the Niger Delta. Some of them have made lot of blood money, at the very expence of the people of the Niger Delta. Some of them have made a lot of money, by collaborating with illegal bunkeres or enguaging in it themselves. Some of them are, in the pay role of the corrupt and indicted ex governors from the Niger Delta. Can they tell the people of the Niger Delta, how they sustain their high and lavish life style? These people are canker worms of iniquity and they speak for nobody but themselves. Most of them have no constituencies and no bases in the Niger Delta. They are the Abuja and news paper freedom fighters. They only tell the government, what the government wants to hear and feed the government with a lot of boloney or rubbish. These people con the government and the people of the Niger Delta. The government and The President should look at the report of Amnesty International on Niger Delta, address, rectify and impliment in its enteity, the basic issues and problems raised in the reports. The reports say that, the Niger Delta is criminally neglected by all governments and operating Oil companies in the Niger Delta. As a result of this criminal neglect, the people of the Niger Delta are dieing very prematuredly because of the environmental polution, that their lands and waters have been destroyed by the oil companies and as a result the people can not farm or fish, as the people of the Niger Delta are basically farmers and fishermen and women and that all governments are party to this criminal neglect and destruction. That what is happenning in the Niger Delta is a crime against humanity. These corrupt and indicted ex governors who were almost impecunious, jobless and hatchet men to the corrupt ex military persons, before they were selected as governors, now live lavishly as if they own the World bank. If the government fails to massively develope the Niger Delta and create a lot of well paying jobs, for the teaming masses of unemployed able bodied youths, there will be no peace in the Niger Delta. If the government thinks that, they can mask the problems, by paying off a few of selfish Niger Delta leaders, then the government is not seriour and they are playing with fire. If the situation is allowed to continue, there will come one day, when no company will want to do business, in the Niger Delta and not one barrel of crude oil or a litre of gas can be produced. If we have this senario, the government will be completely broke and will run out of money. The government as a matter of fact for its survival, must positiveiy investment for the future and proterity of nigeria,by using a grate part of its external reserve and the excess crude money to immediately develope the Niger Delta. Any company that wants to do business in the Niger Delta, must be made to plough back, some of their profits in the developement of the Niger Delta. Time is running out.
