Angered over the spate of attack by the Boko Haram sect in the North the Niger  Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, has demanded for a Republic of Niger Delta urging President Goodluck Jonathan to as a matter of urgency, convene a sovereign national conference, SNC.

The SNC, the group said will afford Nigerians the opportunity to discuss and possibly give birth to the Republic of Niger Delta, using the Southern Sudan example, where the people met and agreed on the formation of a new nation, South Sudan Republic, without spilling blood.

Spokesman of the militant group, “Captain” Mark Anthony, in a statement, noted that Nigeria’s problem was political and what was needed to resolve it was a political solution, involving a roundtable conference of all the ethnic nationalities in the entity called Nigeria.

He said: “In SNC, every ethnic nationality shall come forward through a delegation and put up a referendum for the interest of every geo-political region. The referendum shall determine the continued existence or separation of the contraption called Nigeria. Nigeria is a creation of falsehood and it is standing on a keg of gun powder being mismanaged by former military dictators.

“We use this medium to hail great men like Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu, late Major Isaac Boro, Ken Saro-Wiwa and their followers, as well as all freedom fighters who had paid the supreme price with their lives for Biafra and Niger Delta, for their courage and patriotism. These great men were men of vision who saw the type of fake Nigeria left behind for us by the British imperialists.

“We also hail the people of the new South Sudan nation for their determination and doggedness. We the people of Niger Delta shall one day join the world to celebrate Niger Delta Republic. Nobody should deceive himself and play politics with our call for splitting Nigeria into segments for the interest of every geo-political region,” he added.

THOSE WHO SEEK JUSTICE MUST FIRST FACE THE REALITIES OF WAR, IF THE NORTHERNERS THINK THEY HAVE MONOPOLY OF VIOLENCE, EEEHH, THEY BETTER THINK TWICE COS  THE NIGER DELTA PEOPLE ARE NOT AFRAID OF WAR. THEY DID IT BEFORE AND CAN STILL DO IT AGAIN. SO BOKO HARAM OR WHAT EVER YOU CALL YOURSELVES BE WARNED.

Honestly, if dividing is the only way Nigeria can attain peace and stop the shedding of innocent blood which may be bringing a curse upon our land, then let it be so. So sick of this nonsense. But I still believe that this has to be a fire for fire situation. When the president really puts together a strong force against this sect, even if it means bringing in foreign help, they will have no choice but to surrender. However as I'm seeing it even from a distance, it's obvious nothing is going to be done until they do their worst.

If the Niger Deltans and the it's struggle must be taking seriously they must not pretend there is peace and prosperity in Nigeria as there is not and can never be .The only reason they are killing christians right now all over the North is the beleive that the christians in the north and Nigeria are the once ruling nothing else. Why are they not bombing Sokoto, Zanfara, Kebbi and other sharia states? We know their chief sponsorers are people like the Sultan and Buhari/Atiku have they really condem these acts of killing from Jos to Kaduna? The answer is No... they only pay lipservice to that regards let the truth be said they think they can intimidate the non sharia states into submittion. While the middle east /east Africans are clamouring for a democratic setting, these killers are clamouring for an Islamic state. Now the Niger Deltans wants their own Republic lets see who laugh last...

The division of this nation will do us no good, it's only prayers that we need, The Niger Delta Liberation Force that want the nation to split should pray for unity and understanding between the three tribes
