NIGER DELTA LEADERS' STANCE POINTS TO CULPABILITY, CONNIVANCE AND GUILT - Lauretta Onochie

-
💠 In the hey days of the insurgence of Boko Haram, under the morbidly corrupt and ineffective administration of Pres. Goodluck Jonathan, young Nigerians from the North East, formed themselves into what later came to be known as the Civilian Joint Task Force, JTF.

💠 They were propelled by the desire to be safe and patriotism drove them. At the time, they felt the Nigerian Army wasn't doing a great job. But today we now know why the Nigerian Army, that has now decapitated Boko Haram failed under Jonathan.

💠 President Jonathan and his more than forty thieves had presided over the looting of the defence funds meant to equip our Army to effectively fight the Boko Haram insurgents.

💠 The Civilian Joint Task Force were mostly farmers and hunters but other professionals whose towns and villages had been sacked, soon joined them and as they were more familiar with the terrain, they became an important part of the defeat of the Boko Haram under the more capable and dedicated President Muhammadu Buhari.


💠 Now, after a series of attack on the Imushin community of Ogun State and others in Ikorodu in Lagos state by criminals using the creek as their hideouts, over 5,000 members of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC Reformed) bombarded the community on Tuesday, to confront the suspected militants.
They reportedly came from Lagos and Ogun states in more than 107 buses and cars.

💠 In the Niger Delta, particularly Bayelsa and Delta states, Militants have made a habit of destroying the nation's oil facilities.

💠 The leaders of the people in that region have done little to address this dire issue. In fact, Governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State, asked the Federal government to stop the war on corruption, clearly indicating that the renewed hostilities in the Niger Delta has a correlation with the on-going probe of those who impoverished Niger Deltans.

💠 The self-centered Chief Edwin Clark had also called on the Federal government to withdraw the Army from the area. Oh yes, to pave way for more damages to oil infrastructures!

💠 Well, we know where Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa and Chief Edwin Clark stand. They stand with those whose corruption under-developed Niger Delta. And why not? They have been part of the problems of the region and are not about to repent.

💠 My questions are as follows:
Although we do not believe Tompolo, but he has been speaking, not on behalf of his Niger Delta Avengers, ooops, his faction of MEND, but on his personal behalf.
When will Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan speak on this issue?

💠 Is it correct to deduce that the Pres. Jonathan's faction of MEND led by Tompolo that bombed the Eagle Square a few years ago is now the Niger Delta Avengers?

💠 Ex-Pres. Jonathan's silence is deafening and it's being interpreted in most quarters as the silence of the culpable, conniver and the guilty.

💠 One thing is certain. No one can hold this nation to ransom. We all have equal stakes in this nation. The Nigerian Army, Navy and Airforce under President Buhari will protect the territorial integrity of our nation. All crimes will be judged in our new Nigeria. Nigerians are no fools. They know whats going on.
God bless Nigeria.
God bless us, everyone.

DOCTORS AND OTHERS ARE LEAVING UK, USA, CANADA, INDIA, ETC. NOT JUST NIGERIA.

  They have been leaving before I was born. By the time my grand children become grand parents, MIGRATION will continue to happen. Yes, it's called "Migration". In Nigeria, where EVERYTHING; from the straying of a husband or wife, to too much rainfall is blamed on the government, its the fault if Mr. President. People have always moved; locally and internationally. Its not new. It seems more now, because the world population is also growing by the minute.  In Nigeria, there are British, Canadian, American, Indian, etc., DOCTORS. Again, it's called "MIGRATION". Their nationals are not cursing out their governments. Free citizens of the world have the right to relocate to other nations. Even though there are more people leaving the US and the UK than Nigeria, a search online, would mostly throw up the exaggerated Nigerian figures.  We must learn to stand with our nation, always. When we go out there, cursing our nation and bringing down her image by painting h

BRIEF ON WAI BRIGADE VOLUNTEERS

-

Background On March 20, 1984, the then Chief of Staff, Supreme Headquarters, Major-General Babatunde Idiagbon launched a campaign on ‘National Consciousness and Enlightenment’  at the National Theatre, Igamu, Lagos which lifted the nation into a sphere of national awareness and prepared ground for the then Head of State, Commander-in-Chief, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari’s clarion call that we are all Nigerians and we must fight indiscipline. This formed the basis for the nationalism and patriotism campaign, the third phase of National Consciousness and Enlightenment – the WAI crusade which was launched in Jos, Plateau State, on Monday, August 27, 1984 with emphasis on the National Symbols – the Flag, the National Anthem, the Pledge and the Coat-of-Arms. The War Against Indiscipline (WAI) Brigade was formed therefore to give practical effect to the campaign against indiscipline. It is a uniformed voluntary association of able-bodied young men and women trained and ex

ANIOMA STATE - MY PASSION

Welcome to my blog. OMG! I can't believe I'm blogging!! Its true, I am blogging. When my children bullied me into acquiring a blackberry phone a year ago, I had no idea that I would ever come to blogging. You see, Most people in my generation are terrified, yes terrified of the common PC. As a teacher, I have met with adults who break into sweat at the thought of having to sit in front of a computer. I think I have done well in terms of following modern technology, particularly as it relates to the internet. Not only can I 'ping' and 'blog', I can set up what I need to take part in a webinar e-meeting ( I am not explaining what a webinar is. If you can't work it out, you only have Prince Emmanuel Ohai, the able convener of the Movement for the Creation of Anioma State, to ask, he got me hooked) I almost got carried away by technology. I am passionate about all that I do. If I believe in it, I do not do half measures, I go all out f
