On Thursday morning news broke that President Buhari had
cancelled his trip to Ogoni due to threat to his life from the Niger Delta
Avengers. This is a very wrong move as the President must have handed over the
required impetus to the militants and thereby emboldened them.

Even Jonathan’s
‘chickening out’ of going to Chibok at the peak of the Boko Haram insurgency,
is less of a ‘Chickening out’ than this. But I know a President can’t move
against his security report and I wrote about this when Jonathan was called
names for cancelling his Chibok trip.
While Nigerians were
shocked to read a report that our oil production has gone down from the
agonizing 1.4 million barrels to 1.1, a few days ago the Avengers bombed three
more crude oil wells even when the military carried out an invasion of
Gbaramatu kingdom and other Niger Delta communities.
With the Presidents
action, the Niger Delta Avengers have received credible endorsement as a group
to be respected and I believe many conscripts will begin looking for how to
join them .
Frankly speaking it
is despicable to be talking about cleaning up some Niger Delta communities
while more environmental degradation is strategically perpetrated by Niger
Deltans.
But there is a law
called The Law of cause and effect. Every effect is the result of a cause and
every cause must have an effect
When President
Buhari in his brutally frank manner told his US
I expected Mr.
Presidents media team to tactically twist that statement in way that it’d give
some form of confidence to people from the 5% region but they rather coined the
name ‘wailers’ for these 5 percenters .
