Somebody posted this comment on a popular news site regarding the islamic militant crisis in Northern Nigeria. Do you think he correct? What are the repercussion as regards the Niger Delta militants?

I think we can officially add being an Islamic Militant to the list of bad career moves in Nigeria.

Perhaps a brigade of Nigerian soldiers can take care of the Islamic militant problem in Somalia and Afghanistan. The US government should think about subcontracting to them.

The military boys really do a very good job of sanitizing/taking care the problem. The Nigeria military is very efficient in wiping out whole city blocks, villages and tribes in some instances (shall we say Biafra). We are just glad they are good at something. Sad but true.

I bet if the militants believed in reading and knowledge (like the delta militants) they could have been more aware of the consequences of their action.

The problem in the Niger Delta is one that should nag at anyone with a conscience.

Amnesty by the government is a cover for the inability to understand the problem or just plain ignorance of the “elected” officials.

I think it is a big mistake for the government to criminalize the basic human rights request of a group of people.

The question is this: when the violence spreads past the Niger Delta, what will the elected officials do?. From all indications, that is where this Niger Delta problem is heading. Amnesty or No Amnesty.

How should MASSOB handle this crisis?  Let the non-existing rule of law prevail?  Or actively get involved in law enforcement within the South East.

Some people will call this “vigilantism” but what happens when the authorities cannot protect the Ibos against anything even in their own region (Biafra)?

What is stopping the current MASSOB authorities from handling this situation themselves?

A very dangerous situation.  Any thoughts?

When is the next one happening?

There are so many of them these days.  Do you think that they will ever come under one umbrella?
