Nigeria is the stupid and corrupt country i ever since in this world. i support to blow up all refinery in nigeria. I have stayed in a country that they don’t have anything, i mean any natural resources and the country is one of the most beautiful country in the world.
This is time that nigeria should think to diversify to other sectors,
we are blessed with some many natural resources, must will die and kill
ourselves because of this stupid crude oil.
Take for instance, dubai is also rich in crude oil, they find out that they
cannot depend on the oil forever, so they diversify into tourism and hotel.
The so called federal government and state governors , all what you think about is loot nigerian money and dump it in another country, you people are so senseless, daft and callous.
I hope you people will think. If we continue like this, nigeria will never grow, it is not a curse.
Our destiny is in our hand.

THERE ARE PROPER WAYS TO FIGHT FOR RIGHTS!!! THE BLACK PANTER MOVEMENT WAS FIGHTING FOR RIGHTS. THING IS THEY WERE DOING IT IN THE WRONG WAY! PEOPLE LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING SHOWED THAT CIVIL UNREST MAKES THE OPPRESSORS MOST UNCOMFORTABLE AND FORCES THEM TO CHANGE GROUND. THINK OF OIL COMMUNITIES OCCUPYING INSTALLATIONS WITHOUT EXPLOSIONS..THINGS LIKE THAT!!! IT MIGHT GET THOUSANDS ARRESTED, BUT BELIEVE ME THE FOREIGN PRESS E.T.C WILL PICK SUCH AN OCCURANCE AND RUN WITH IT. THIS IS WHAT N/DELTA LEADERS AND FIGHTERS SHOULD BE PRESSING FOR.

See these naive people! You think the impact of non-exportation of oil will only be felt by the politicians? EVERYONE will be affected by this.

Where was this picture taken? You will notice the state of disrepair and lack of maintenance of the building. That is the stupid mentality of Nigerian leaders. They are rich but live in poverty, no roads, no good toilets, no good food, they just develop pot bellies, they are obesse, no exercise, just look at this one here, Education Minister. Sam Egwu. Fat and looting. Thats what they think, the fatter the better. It shows you are enjoying. Let me just forget these yeye people and do my work.
Rabe’s stomach is going down. MEND is giving him sleepless nights. No more bunkering. MEND step it up.

Why are they blindfolded? What is the fate of these ones? Are they still alive? Is this in the spirit and letter of AMNESTY? Who is fooling who? Where are these so called Niger Delta leaders? None. None. What a shame. This picture is inhuman. How do you expect President Barack Obama to come and rub shoulders with all these YAMAYAMA people?

James Osato — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:40:34 +0000

This is very good news. MEND should accelerate the exercise and get it all done with. Only a small group of less than 100,000 enjoy the OIL money so of what use is it. Let MEND reduce oil production to zero. Of course they have looted a lot but because they are theives their money will grow wings in Jesus Name Amen. Evil men. No roads, thanks to OBJ and Anenih, No power thanks to OBJ. What kind of country is this? Please make sure you leaders fly to Ghana under the auspices of Ecowas to take photographs with Obama in Ghana so you can use it to brag and hope to attract voters in 2011. “See me and Obama”
Yeye, stupid thieves. You are not ashamed, you cannot run a country, as blessed as Nigeria is. Poverty will never depart from your homes in Jesus Name Amen.

Col. Rabe will one day be paraded as he is parading this innocent citizen who are fighting for their rights in the niger delta. He will face genocide, war against humanity for their (northerners)’s atrocities in the niger delta. Now the oil is going away, Americans are looking for alternatives for oil, i will see how this col. rabe and his accomplices in the north will survive. I know he must have stock-piled a lot of wealth (looting in the niger delta region through crude oil stealing, looting of properties in the niger delta). The muslims in the north believed that after the war, the oil is their “Spoil of war”, but i assure you that you are all dead wrong. U ‘ll pay for this atrocities some day. I watch and see what will happen to the nigeria state in the next few days… weeks…months… years…!!!

One should wonder if oil was our major source of income why is it not on the Nigerian flag instead of agriculture and river Niger? If total paralyzes of flow of oil will bring peace, respect, justice, agreement, true federalism etc to Nigeria let it come quick! To me, i dont think total paralyzes of oil flow will cripple Naija economy but cripple the looting and sharing of money-bag in Abuja and the North. Common naija people do not live on oil money so they wont feel it. Only the North will actually weep blood for their money well is no longer flowing. Thank God! I cant wait too!!!

toast a palmwine mugs and gulder/star beer bottles to MEND. this is the last straw for corrupt PDP/Yara Adua FG. Oil companies are panicking! They are loosing money. FG locations for Sokoto/Gombe/Oyo/Ogun/Enugu/Kwara.. will never be enough to pay their civil servants. MEND do not stop blasting the pipelines and tank farms, FG/JTF must allow local and international media to visit Gbaranmatu and we don’t to see Frank Nweke or Remi Oyo in ND. Ok. rtd Gen Abbe/Yara Adua/Gen Sarkin Bello wants to release Henry Okah now. Ur propaganda did not work. Nonsense, what has Angola and EG got to do with an internal matter in the release of Okah? Nothing. Nigeria is an independent country and u can’t fool us. FG/PDP/Yara Adua FG amnesty is intended to pacify hired PDP election thugs which help PDP rigged the last two elections. Fine. But what happened to all the Youths/militants the military or JTF/MOPOL detained or arrested in ND region and were shipped to locations outside ND. Extra judicial killings? how rampart is it? FG/PDP leadership should provide answers to all detainees. How many has FG/PDP/Yara Adua released? Henry Okah is one person only. We are talking about hundreds of Ijaw and other minorities forcefully detained by the Military in secret locations around the country.

As an Igbo boy, I was told that the people of Niger-Delta tribes and south-southners are lazy people.
As a grown up, I now know that its the other way round, actually. The entire country depend shamelessly and hopelessly on their oil and do nothing else.

Men! I cant wait for the Nigerian economy crash. Its the only thing fueling the insatiable greed of the elite class and holding the rest of the slave masses together against their will.

When it indeed crashes (which is a matter of when) like Soviet Union, Nigeria will spilt into pieces- return to the happy pre-colonial era.

That would make sense perfect sense than pretending to be united in a sick amalgamated country were fellow citizens are bombed relentless by JTF just for speaking out against stark injustice.

Short Live Nigeria!!! Yah baby!

Nigeria is an artificial creation. The union of the component ethnic nationalities was an imposition by the fiat of the British imperialists. They created Nigeria, not as a state that should thrive and propel itself independently on the paths of development, but as a huge reservoir of resources of be milked unto extinction by their loyal slave boys ‘Northern Nigeria’!
Instead of doing the right thing now by implementing true federalism, this Northern led Government is desperate and have gone cap in hand to their Colonial masters Britain to beg for military assistance in perpetuating injustice in the Niger Delta. I quote the Nigerian Minister of State for Defense, Chief Demola Seriki:

“one of the greatest problem that is really threatening this administration is the issue of Niger-Delta”

“this is a great loss of income”

“We need assistance of Britain to avert these losses”

“I will implore the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense to partner with us so that we can prevail”

Countries are not created by the mandates of exploitation. Peoples unite to pursue their common interests. Our freedom and assurance of a better life rests in our continued struggle for justice. “True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice”–Martin Luther King

The insensitivity, insincerity, wickedness and unpatriotic attitude of our leaders from time to time is responsible for the crisis not only in the Niger Delta but the Nigeria society as a whole. The root of this crisis stemmed from the marginalization of the Niger Delta viz-a viz the explotation and expropriation of the surplus value of oil proceeds by our so called “leaders”.
I believed that the so called leaders know what to do to fix this great country on the right track but they are not doing it because of their greed and wicked nature. Anyway, the so called leaders should know that the peace and unity of this country is threaten given the current happening in the Niger Delta region, if they are patriotic enough (they claimed) they should rescue Nigeria from the verge of collapse.

Col. Rabe Abubakar and JTF you are breaching the Human rights of these men, no one is guilty until proven so.

How often do you prade the environmental damages in the Niger-Delta, JTF is committing the worst crime in Niger-Delta and the killing of innocent civilians is enough.

Military or militancy would not solve the longstanding agitation of the people of Niger-Delta, only transprancy and speedy development is the option.

I have no doubt that the Yar’Adua government has no solution because his leadership is only not lazy but lack vision.

The JTF should be ashame because you are not able to contain a civilian group by contrast are without formal military training. It is now fact that the Nigerian military can not in any way defend Nigerians in time of external aggression.

Your duty to Nigerians has been comprised with your political ambition, your abuse on Nigerians is on going process even in democracy. One day you will be accountable for your ommission.

The Oil belongs to Niger Delta and still the the people there live like elephants that eat like ants because govt and greedy oil companies decided to colonize and exploit their resources.
Rabe Abubarkar has been a liar who doesn’t know that lies don’t win war.So-called JTF should leave Niger Delta immediately.True federalism,resource control and rapid development of all regions especially Niger Delta.
