Time to end militancy

Just to be clear, I was initially in support of the peace discussion the Federal Government was initiating with the Niger Delta militants, but I am seriously reconsidering this stand. These so-called militants, under whatever name they may group themselves,
have succeeded largely on two fronts. Namely, killing Nigeria and killing Nigerians.

Numerous Nigerians have directly been on the receiving end of these people’s brutality, most of them now dead, maimed or homeless. Their activities of blowing up oil installations have not only affected this country’s economy directly, offer of peace negotiation, which they accepted and declared a ceasefire, they still launched another attack on Nembe creek.

Though their agitations may be justified, it seems very much misdirected considering how a few of their elite have mismanaged developmental funds, at the expense of the masses.

Either through peace negotiation or military action, this menace must end, as Nigeria has had enough of it.

However, it will be much more beneficial to both parties if a common ground can be reached.
