Militants...Freedom Fighters...Criminals

My Guy how is your end.

Bros - the place is hot. The militants, I mean the freedom fighters are at war. We hear with rival groups.

What do you mean by freedom fighters these militants are bloody criminals.

Your Militants may be my freedom fighters but there is no other word for criminals. The long drawn battle in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria has worn different colours partly due to the criminalisation of the strugle.

What strugle? You guys are a lazy bunch who do not want to work for your livelihood?

With due respect - you think by shooting your way to Doddan Barracks, Aso Rock, Brick House,.....or Mud Palace, you are now smarter than the rest us? Look these guys are freedom fighters - who want a fairer control for their GOD given resources.

What reources? What about all the money that have been given to your Chiefs? If we give you more, you will only use it to drink 'ogogoro'.

I do not take this as an insult, it only shows your ignorance about the strugle - resource control. Let me explain - if we agree to construct 10km roads in every State, let 10km raods be constructed in every State. But don't come and tell us that the 10km road in Bayelsa will cost 10 times that of 10km raod in Sokoto and therefore you will now give every state 10 million Naira to construct their roads. Sokoto may get their 10km road but in Bayelsa it will not be enough even for feasibility study. I expect you to undertsand this much even as an 'HND Engineer'. By the way the money to construct all the 10km raods in all the States comes from here.

Ok but this your militants, I beg your pardon freedom fighters are now robbing banks, rapping women, kidnapping 'oyibo people' and killing innocent people - is this also part of the struggle?

No. Haba!! a criminal is a criminal. It does not matter the type of dress he wears - 'khaki' wearing kill and go type, those wearing flowing gowns or long-dresses with straw-hat, or those clad in black-t-shirts and jeans. It does not matter the type of weapon he uses - pen and paper, dynamite or AK 47 assault rifle.

At least we agree on this point. It is a shame some of my colleagues have been 'fingered' in these shameful acts. My Guy what can I do to help.

Bros, EFCC is the answer. Any criminal,.. militant,... or freedom fighter who is involved in these activities should be treated as an 'economic criminal'. After all as long as these acts of lawlessness continue 'our garri' suffer.

My Guy thank you for this food for ACTION. I shall be thinking about it.

No Bros, stop thinking ACT now before it becomes irreversible.
