ONE NIGERIA WILL TAKE ITS STANDS IF THE FEDERAL GOVT. ADMITS HER RESPONSIBILITIES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RURAL AREAS IN NIGER DELTA REGION. AS A MATTER OF FACT, JTF MUST STOP THEIR ONSLAUGHT AGAINST NIGER DELTA REGION OR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Perhaps the corrupt Nigerian govt will stop digging itself into a much deeper hole when the national income accruing to the federal coffers reaches zero for which the Patriots have nothing to lose. That is when Emperor Yar's administration and his foreign MNE masters, for which he is killing innocent Nigerians to please, will soon realize their errors that this is a war of attrition; let us see who will blink, first. Malam Yar has opened the Pandora's Box - let’s see how he puts the genie back into the bottle, unless it blows up in his face.

The major act of criminal neglect of the communities by the Federal Government is the root cause of the problem. The force of arms is not the solution.
