1. "THE END OF A SHAMEFUL ERA" This is how millions of good people around the world welcome the new President Barrack Obama's decision to close down GUANTANAMO BAY, the evil crucifying centre that was inconsistent with America's Godly policy of respect for humanity. One feels so sorry for Mr. George W. Bush, the former President. The extraordinary event of 9/11 was too heavy a blow. It could make an Angel into a Satan. 3000 people were killed in one day, in one city, and in one action that was neither warfare nor an act of God. However, now, everyone is rejoicing that the new President, Mr. Barack Obama is closing what looks like the revenging hell. In Nigeria the Jihad cells in which the Moslem Northerners torture and incarcerate our freedom fighters of the Niger Delta continue. Besides killing our people in our homes right in the Niger Delta, the Moslem Northerners that rule Nigeria, remove our young men to the North where they are tortured and incarcerated in jihad cells. No one in the Niger Delta has ever hurt a Moslem Northerner or any one from the North at all. The one and only reason why the Moslem Northerners kill and torture our people and make them feel like animals, is to subdue us while they rob us of our God given land and our resources. Nature does not put us together with them, only a colonial power forcibly merged us together; and then left. We claim nothing from them.
2. About fifteen years ago, the European rulers of apartheid South Africa freed Nelson Mandela after jailing him and others for as long as twenty seven years. It began in 1964 when he and other Africans were charged to court and convicted of treason and sentenced for life. When they were freed twenty seven years later, they walked out of jail, looking as fit as Hercules. You would think they had just ended a fabulous boating holiday on the fascinating rivers of the Niger Delta, or of some Caribbean islands. Within weeks of his freedom, Nelson Mandela was alert and sufficiently collected to work on his autobiography. It's title “LONG WALK TO FREEDOM." published by Little Brown 1994 shows how brave all of them had been. Mandela walked out of jail to freedom, not only for himself, but for all in South Africa. Indeed his captives, all European, whatever influenced them, they were good Christians. So too were the European colonial powers. They did not create the like of Guantanamo Bays such as the Moslem North is peppering our people of the Niger Delta because we want Independence.
3. Religion, whether Christian Religion or Hindu or Moslem plays a wonderful influence on human behaviour. Pakistanis love their religion so much; and they separated from India. Iranians love their religion so much and they created an Islamic Republic. In Nigeria the Moslems feel they cannot do without Revenue Allocation. They had thought that they could easily make the country Islamic, while tolerating Christianity. But now they have found that, that is impossible. The British left their own good laws based on Christian values. But these have very much been adulterated by the Moslem authorities in their Guantanamo style treatment of our people of the Niger Delta, who are among the most jolly peoples on the West African Coast. In this struggle for independence they cannot win, we will win because justice, whether Christian justice or Moslem justice is on our side.
4 Unfortunately, our people in the Niger Delta are dead scared of the Moslem Northerners. In 1995 Mallam Sunni Abacha, the Moslem ruler of Nigeria killed almost the whole elite of Ogoni in the effort to subdue us while they exploit and vandalise our land and our resources. On that occasion, the Commonwealth at then" conference on New Zealand promptly suspended Nigeria. John Major, the Conservative Prime Minister of Great Britain and Nelson Mandela at the conference strongly condemned the killing of our people for the only purpose of robbing us of our God given resources. Then also the Christian Council based in Geneva visited Nigeria on the occasion. In their report they found the Niger Delta suffering from a sort of "APARTHEID” in Nigeria. We cannot exercise the basic right of ownership over our land and resources. Instead they benefit other communities immensely. The Niger Delta has suffered exploitation for several centuries. " In the 19"1 century explorers and colonisers won over the natives of the Niger Delta with gifts of colourful beads and fine clothes Today ( December 1995) the Goodwill of the indigenous communities comes a little more expensive ~ but not much more, when you consider that Shell is earning more than half a million dollars a day from the region " With this sentiment, the very popular London based news paper, The Independent, expressed sympathy with the Niger Delta for the killing of our leaders in 1995. Today Shell is earning not half a million a day, but more than half a million an hour in the Niger Delta. Parts of this go to the Moslem leaders of Nigeria. Some part of it finds their ways to kleptomaniac politicians in Great Britain through Nigerian politicians. And it is for these purpose that are people and being oppressed and killed with very few reporting. We shall overcome.
5. After Abacha's death in 1997 came Abubakar. Under him, the Jihad troops stationed in the Niger Delta organised fire to burn our people and cities. At Jesse and Sapele the fire burnt during several days killing thousands of our people. The Moslem ruler of the country Abubakar refused to hold an Inquiry to determine that the fire was not ignited by the raping and killing troops comprising Jihadists from several areas of the Sahara. There are only a handful of hospitals in Nigeria; all were built during the colonial period. The Moslem leaders of Nigeria do not believe in hospitals. When their big men are sick, they fly them to European or Arab countries for treatment spending the revenue from the Niger Delta,
6. In May 1999 Mr. Olusegun Obasanjo succeeded Abubakar as President by the grace of the Islamic North. He is the one and only Southerner in whom the more powerful Northerners have confidence. This arose from the fact that in January 1966, Southern troops and Northern troops engaged themselves in a bloody military mutiny following a coup by Southerners. The mutiny continued until July the same year, and Major Obasanjo, as he was then, was the only generally known Southerner that supported the Moslem troops. They have since rewarded him immensely. In May 1999, they made him President of the country. He has been the only Southerner that had been President since Independence. But they did not allow him to create any state or organise census at all. Anyway, less than six months of becoming President in 1999, he sent troops to the Niger Delta even during the celebrations of the New Millennium, and they bombed several areas of the Niger Delta for three days and three nights. After his troops had killed hundreds in the Niger Delta, Obasanjo went to Ogoni, in the Niger Delta where Abacha had earlier killed the elite, and told them that if it was Independence that they wanted; then they should go the Queen of England because it was her people that put us together. Our people listened to him dumb founded.
7. About two years after Mullah Obasanjo, had addressed our people in that way, he invited the Commonwealth to have its conference in Abuja, the new capital in the North created arbitrarily by the Islamic Northerners when they removed the capital from Lagos in the South. During the Conference our people in the Niger Delta unfortunately watched the television. On one occasion they saw the Queen of England shaking hands with Mullah. Obasanjo while Mr. Blair, the British Prime Minister and the Duke of Edinburgh stood by, looking cheerful. The scene was a severe shock to them. The same Obasanjo, whose hands were still dripping with the blood of our youths, was shaking his bloody right hand with the Queen of England. To them the Queen is an omnipotent living being on earth. And they respect her immensely. Now they see the same Mullah Obasanjo so close to her. They were bewildered. It was reported that in island town of Abonnema a young pregnant lady was so shocked on watching the T.V. She fainted and, miscarried. Albeit; later, they realised that Obasanjo was waging a psychological war. He liked to make our people think that he is very close to the Queen; and therefore influential with her government. Obasanjo knew that the scene would frighten them as it did.
8. Southern Nigerians including the Niger Delta have always believed that the British Labour Party dislike them in preference to the Moslem North. The reasons for this have been discussed in our earlier messages. Also; during the civil war 1967 to 1970, the Labour Government of Great Britain supplied weapons to the Moslem North. With these weapons they carried out the pogrom and genocide against “Biafra” who were the Igbos and included the Niger Delta; all Southerners. These incidents were well reported during the civil war by several reporters including Frederick Forsyth for the B.B.C. and the London Times. The periods include the months of May 1968 to February 1969. This period excluded the genocide of May 1966. And it continues in a small way to this day. Again, in the summer of last year 2008, the new Moslem President of Nigeria Mr Yar Adua, met Mr. Gordon Brown, the British Prime Minister during the G8 conference. Mr. Yar Adura's only important discussion with the British Prime Minister was to request for weapons from Gordon Brown. He told Mr. Brown that the weapons were to be used for killing our people in the Niger Delta because they were disturbing the flow of revenue from oil exploration.
9. Probably Mr. Gordon Brown did not remember that the Moslem North had been suppressing the Niger Delta for a very long time; and that because of the killing of our people in Ogoni in 1995, Nigeria was suspended from the Commonwealth. "What is wrong again?” Some more impartial politician would have liked to know. But Mr Brown did not hesitate. There and then, and in one single conversation with Yar Adua, he promised to supply weapons to the Islamic North. .Three months later, September last year, Yar Adua, armed with the support of the British Prime Minister collected several jihad warriors from several parts of the Sahara. Fully armed, they were taken to the Niger Delta. There, they killed and killed hundreds in the Niger Delta. Their purpose is to subdue our people so that our land and our resources are vandalised in the name of oil exploration. In 1986, after they, had arbitrarily, proclaimed Nigeria an Islamic nation, and had subdued the South in the riots that followed, they boasted that, they would dip the Koran in the central Atlantic through the Niger Delta. Only General Ojukwu, the erstwhile Biafran leader, warned them against such boastfulness. In the Niger Delta we do not have any religion; but we consider ourselves fortunate to have been converted from superstition to Christianity by European Christian Missionaries immediately after the slave trade in the nineteenth century. Later we were conquered and forcibly merged with several unknown communities by Great Britain in 1914 and called Nigerians. This we can never forget because we hate the merging intensely and we must separate.
10. Nigeria in its monstrous form is reputed to be the most corrupt country in Africa. The Moslem North that has ruled it since Independence strengthen themselves by arbitrarily joining the Islamic Brotherhood that stretches from them through the Sahara to the Mediterranean coast and beyond. Then they also play for support from British politicians. At home they operate an economy that is heavily based on corruption. They bring out the revenue from the Niger Delta like robbers from their victims. They then share the revenue among the thirty six states, all of which were arbitrarily created by them. They also created the hundreds of local governments. And they inflate population census. You cannot get reliable census when no part of the country keeps any Birth and Death Registry. And no one can pry into any Moslem home to count its inmates. Politicians spread revenue among supporters. So there are in Nigeria several hundreds of rich people with no visible means of livelihood. Thousands are forced to support leading politicians in order to own a house or other property. In Nigeria the most damnable law is the Land Use Decree. It provides that every transaction relating to any interest or right in land or property, whether freehold or leasehold of any duration requires written consent of the government. Then also, the government uses public funds to create estates which it allocates to people it likes. Touts and agents abound. In this way many of the political leaders create kleptomaniacs all over the country even in the oppressed Niger Delta. These kleptomaniacs feel that the country should continue in its shambolic form. It is they who fight impulsively against separation. With time Nigerian kleptomaniac politicians are beginning to succeed in attracting European debased politicians to have financial involvement in the country, so that they will fight for it to continue in its bloody conflicts ridden form; the form that harvests corrupt deals.
11. On account of its monstrosity, Nigeria, in its South, produces the largest immigrants in the world. It is estimated that more than six million Southern Nigerians have emigrated to Europe, America and Southern Africa since the Abiola episode in 1989, when Ibrahim Babangida, the Moslem ruler barefacedly refused the Southern candidate who won a Presidential election; and instead, put in his business friend to become President without regard to any law. Years ago, Nigerians who study abroad, return home fast; not now. Now very few love the country; and these love it for the same reason that Lucifer loves hell. Wherefore we in the N.D.R.M pray that the world, particularly Europe and the new leadership in the United States of America, will be pleased to study the problems of the nations of Africa, considering how the origin of each nation has contributed to its present form; and therefore to do justice. For the Niger Delta separation from Islamic Nigeria is the answer. God bless the leaders of the world.
