The long-promised offer of an amnesty for militants in the restive Niger Delta region was finally delivered yesterday when they were given 100 days to surrender all their arms and renounce militancy in all its ramifications.

But seriously trusting the word of a politician, you might as well juggle with hand grenades.
What part of "GET LOST" hasn't this YarAdua gotten? Just today, another explosion rocks and Yar still thinks he has any hope in hell. These petty-tyrants should be the ones begging the Nigerian public for amnesty, not the other way around. When the national income reaches zero perhaps Emperor Yar and his army will eventually get the point. Malam, do your worst and see Nigeria blow up in your face.
Those who should have their ass tried and either executed or locked up for their crimes against the Nigerian people are now those threatening the people.The Nigerian people will have the last laugh,those(polit-ciminals) who,ve become curse to that country will be filtered and put where they truly belong. Don,t the illegal govt ever realise that further threatening of an already demoralised and dissilutioned people will only tend to escalate the whole situation? we,ve always known that country not to have govts but this one should rank as one of the most senseless in their comments about the good people of the Niger delta and Nigeria generally.The country yearns for a revolution,now or never.
I am surprised at CNPP and Festus keyamo comments on the amnesty. This people have shown that the are not leaders and do not love Nigeria. Do they want people to continue to suffer in the delta region in the name of militancy? Are those militants not Nigerians? Which is better to say peace or war? If they are the ones ruling Nigeria, what would they have done? I hate it when people just want their voices to be heard when they cannot offer any solution to a problem but only condemn others. A true leader is one who love peace and support good steps for a solution to a problem not the one that finds fault on others when they cannot offer any solution. CNPP is suppose to be a group of opposition party. What have they done to try and solve the problem there? Are they waiting for when they come to power? That is not how opposition works else where. They should while in opposition show the people that if given the chance they can do great things by doing the little they can now physically, not only on pages of the news papers. I am not a PDP member and i am not a politician. We need peace in all regions in Nigeria. We need to support the govt. of the day. From SA.
