This might lead to war in Nigeria between the Northerners and the Southerners.And this is what the british have been hoping for in a long time. So Mr. President think wisely for the betterment of the whole country and forget about the western countries.

DOES IT NOT SEEM THAT PRESIDENT YAR'ADUA IS CONFUSED? THERE SEEMS TO BE NO GOAL OR CLEAR CUT POLICY ON SECURITY. THE PRESIDENT ENVASIZED THE NEED FOR NIGER DELTA TALK TO HAVE BEEN HEADED BY PROF. GAMBARI. WITH THE TALK CANCELLED, THE BRITISH ARE NOW TO DEPLOY AND TRAIN NIGERIAN TROUPS FIGHTING THE MILITANTS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SWALLOW THAT A NATION OF OVER 100MILLION CANNOT CANNOT BE ORGANIZED TO DEDFEND ITSELF. THIS IS SEEMINGLY THE RESULT OF TRIBALISM CONTROLLED POLITY!

I think what president Yaradua has demonstrated is the inherent lack of self-confidence of most of our so called leaders. Nigeria has benefitted from all kinds of military assistance and trainings from the U.K.and America since its independence.That Yaradua still looking up to the u.k to fight armed militancy by restive youths in the Niger-Delta,which should be a minor engagement or responsibility of the Nigerian armed-forces. I can!t help but express a pity for the mindset of the Nigerian. When shall the african mentality really develop?.
