It would be recall that President Buhari may have struck a $258 million deal with the Saudi Arabia 'Blackwater' military contractor to help the Nigerian Armed Forces in fighting militants in the oil-rich Niger Delta region in the southern part of Nigeria.
According to a website, Vaxity, a staff of the Royal Embassy of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in Nigeria confirmed the deal which is "part of the agreement in the Saudi-led Sunni Islamic coalition against terrorism" which President Buhari signed up for on behalf of Nigeria.
The deal, is specifically targeted at fighting the militants in the Niger Delta and nothing to do with combating the two globally recognised terrorist groups in Nigeria – Boko Haram, the world's deadliest and the Fulani herdsmen militia, now the deadliest terrorist group in Nigeria, the report disclosed.
A Yemeni army spokesperson revealed in February 2016 that mercenaries from US private security firm, Black-water are among the 400 Saudi military contractors fighting in the country.
The Niger Delta Avengers, said it does not care if the Buhari-led government hires mercenaries from Saudi Arabia or anywhere to fight them.
Reacting to online reports of the president's deal with Saudi mercenaries to combat the group, spokesperson of the Avengers, Brigadier General Mudoch Agbinibo said that the militants are not disturbed by the report.

Arbitrary use of power. In a democratic govt, the president does not make this type of decision by himself. Democracy is described as "Government of the people, by the people for the people", not govt of Buhari by Buhari for Buhari. If Nigeria government decides to hire external forces to help combat militants, the three branches of govt must agree on it. And such decision must address all militants in the country, not select militants; otherwise, the govt would be charged for oppression, dichotomy and negligence of national interest.

He is actually looking for solutions to our problems at the wrong places. But do u blame him? I blame those who voted for a presidential candidate who had no vision nor an agenda. This the result of what u all bargained for.
