Hi, Khadijah. The truth of this matter that no one seem to know is that the word 'militants' is really not the right word to call these people. I am opportuned to have a father who lectures at the Niger Delta University, Amassoma, Bayelsa State and I have also been there about 3 times spending nothing less than 2 weeks on each trip and I found out something significant, everybody sees the Niger Delta region as a problematic place in Nigeria but it is not. It surprises me that you don't even see these so called militants on the road not to talk of identifying them. These militants are deep in the creeks. They kidnap only those who are against there progress or people close to such people. They are really figthing for their land because development is at its bearest minimum in the Niger Delta region. Everywhere is filled with water construction of houses is difficult and where you are able to build your house, in the next few days, an oil company might spot oil under your building and they will surely destroy your house but will pay you compensation but the truth of the matter is that the compensation paid cannot be valued to your house, though it is much more money paid but it can't perfectly fit into the house you laboured over and that was pulled down, cars are expensive and life is also generally expensive. And from the ulterations of the government, you will see that the government is only interested in what they will get from that region, not what they can do for them. These 'militants' are really fighting for the right course and come to think of it, no one gets kidnapped by them and is killed or rough handled, they are returned safe and sound. I wish you can do there and see for yourself. The Niger Delta region is very peaceful and okay. These people don't attack ordinary people, but influential people.

Those Militants are not fighting for the Niger Delta cause, they are only fighting for their pockets.

Now,let's get this cleared.There are true militants & there are profiteers.The true militants are a product of the Niger Delta crisis,viz: the crisis of development and the crisis of instability.The true militants are those fighting to put issues related to the abject state of the Niger Delta in the National Agenda.They are people trying to ingrain the sorry state of human existence in the Niger Delta in popular consciousness.They are people that want the Nigerian state to pay attention to the goose that lay the golden egg.They are people that want the Oil multinationals & their partner the Nigeria state to protect our environment,even as they steal our Oil.This is what sustainable development is about,after all.The true militants are freedom fighters.The militants dont ask 4 ransom.now let's talk about the profiteers.

The profiteers are those who ve taken undue advantage of the crisis to pursue their parochial interest.They are those who are in the struggle for their personal aggrandizement.They are those who ve turn the Niger Delta crisis into a business.They are the once who kidnap people for ransom.They are the once who kidnap innocent little children,who do not know anything about the crisis.They are the once who ve turn the crisis into venture to achieve personal ends However,you should know that,anywhere there is fake,there is an original.Cus the fake is only an imitation of the authentic.

For more on this,read

Ibaba,S.Ibaba, "UNDERSTANDING THE NIGER DELTA CRISIS",Port Harcourt:Amythst & colleagues publishers,2006.

You have almost said it all bros, though I don’t want to comment on the profiteers because there will be none of them without the establishment of the ‘true militant’ as you have called them (profiteers are a Niche in the market).
Hand on heart I really sympathise with the ‘true militant’. I sympathise with them because I have witnessed the sorry state of Niger delta environment, we also know the root cause of all the injustices that have given rise to these militant’s aggressiveness. I am very sure Khadijat had never gone anywhere near Niger delta, so she cannot understand what we are saying here. Well my dear, the situation there is horrendous. You can never believe Niger delta is where all the money comes from, not only that they were denied the income and value of their resources, they were also denied the right to live in peace in their communities because they destroy and polluted their environment and left them with nothing to survive on. Therefore those people (the true militant) are fighting for all of the above. I believe these should give Khadijat an idea of the struggle.
I do not want to delve into who is at fault here but I will say all parties are involve, the government from federal, state to local, the multinationals oil companies, and to crown it all the community chiefs that has sold their souls and conscience to greed rather to good life for all.
Now, the fact remains that going militant can never solve this appalling situation, looking at the middle east for instance, what problem has the militant solved even though they have unleashed terror in various part of the world that has drawn attentions just like what the Niger delta militants are doing now?. In fact they have not been able to solve any problem but successfully becoming the enemies of the world and that is the end product of being militant.
This people must jettison the idea of destruction and embrace the power of diplomacy in this democratic arena. It might sound too subtle but that is what democracy is all about, it’s all about consultations of ideas between groups, communities and regions to unite and form a consensus until they can lead a high power delegate to make their voice heard diplomatically.
Please remember that the militant’s violent activities only give more rooms for the selfish among us to steal more and more. They are the one that would buy the guns for the militants to create unrest so that they can divert attention to execute their evil agenda. Therefore the more time the ‘true militants’ uses in their violent activities the more time those thieves among us will have to cart away more resources depriving all of us more and more valuable resources. Please let’s start thinking, many great people has died or killed for this cause and many more will follow without achieving anything concrete on the cause until wisdom is applied. The good book says ‘‘Wisdom is the principal thing, get wisdom but in all thy getting get understanding’’

WALERIAN!

As far as u cannot prove ur claim that these boys/girls we erroneously call militants are being sponsored by some politicians,I'll consider ur point as hearsay.And as a Court of Law would,I'll dismiss it.


The truth cannot be far fetched if only you can ask yourself where 'true militant' got their guns or ammunitions from, after all they are ordinary Nigerians like you and they are not military men, are they? Where do they get their sophisticated weapon from if you believe the word sponsor is hear say....?
