The Niger Delta: The Idiocy of the New Avengers and the Perpetual Suffering of a People

The Foundation of this Nation was not laid on Oil. Let it be clear to all who care to listen, the Future of the Nigerian People will not and NEVER be sustained by Oil. The Founding Fathers of the Nigerian State understood the Importance of Palm Oil in the South; The Vitality of Cocoa in the West and the Sustainability of Groundnut and Cotton in the North and all these stem from Agriculture. Today, we are suffering because the generation of the 1970s after the Civil War till date deviated from that path of Solid Foundation initiated by the founding fathers and in the Process messed-up this country generationally.

Every one of the Niger Delta Avengers is a Fraud just Like Tompolo and Asari Dakubo were and still are. Please, can anyone show the positive impact and results of the Militancy in the 1990s and the 2000s on the lives of the people of the Niger Delta, if not for the enrichment of a the fraudulent few? The Dreams and Visions of Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa are being betrayed by the functionally mis-educated criminals and Vandals parading themselves as Militants in the region. I am forced to repeat myself here; for 6 years under GEJ, these Criminals were lords, kings and untouchables in the Niger Delta and in Nigeria. Fed fat on our collective commonwealth and completely ignored the developmental needs of the Niger Delta people. The enemies of my people are in the Niger Delta. Our Politicians, Traditional Rulers, Businesses and Community Elders have no interest in the growth and development of the Region. How do you begin to explain the Tens of Trillions of Naira allocated in various forms to the region - 13% Derivation; FAAC Allocation; NDDC; Niger Delta Ministry and Oil Company Host Community Funds to say the least?

We foolishly think the North will suffer when we destroy our own communities and Environment. How dumb can a people be? Just because Tomatoes is scarce from the North, the whole country is struggling. Imagine when Cows, Yams, Rice, Potatoes, Beans, Pepper, Onion etc becomes scarce after we have destroyed our livelihood and people. Borno State is larger than the whole of the Niger Delta put together. The Niger Delta is about 70,000 sq.kms and Borno State is 71,000 sq.kms. The South East is 40,000 sq.kms. Lagos State is practically generating about 40% of the total Revenue of the Nigerian State today. The North not only has Strategic Gas Reserves, but also Crude Reserves. The Solid Mineral Composition in the North and South West of Nigeria is practically the Biggest in Africa. Who has cursed the Niger Delta People? Kini Big Deal?

 Your hatred for PMB is going to kill you soon. I will never advocate that you stop the Bombings. I will never advocate that the Military get involve. Let us Nigerians see who will suffer when all the Gas and Crude Infrastructure are blown and the People of Nigeria are confronted with Crude Oil to eat as raw food. We have collectively become a stupid people in the region. The Oil Wells are not majorly owned by the Northerners as has been insinuated; our Demonic, Evil and Greedy Brothers and Sister are the owners of some if not most of the oil wells in the region...What have they done for the people again?

Niger Delta Avengers and Your Sponsors; May your Stupidity destroy your Humanity...Not Mine, but Yours. Your Oil is our national Curse, But the Impact of the damage to the environment and people will remain your problem for a Lifetime. Not Mine. Enjoy the Pollution while it last, We as a People have earned it wholeheartedly…The people suffer when criminals are allowed to govern.

  1. The worst thing that can ever happen is the massive pollution of the environment that comes with the destruction of oil facilities,pipelines etc. The communities that rely on the land and creeks will suffer cancers, blood poisoning etc.fishing anf farming will be over and economic activities outside oil will diminish. well the people of the niger delta wants the nilitancy to continue. We should allow them to have it.
