Niger Delta: Another New Militant Group Emerge, Demands 60% Of Oil Blocks

Hmmm! I am so disappointed in us, I really don't know what to say or think about this.  Where are we going or better still let me ask this question, is this what we want in life?, is this how we are or what we are? 

Another militant group has emerged! The group has threatened to continue to attack oil and gas facilities across the Niger Delta region until the Nigerian government agrees to award 60 per cent oil blocs to the people of the region.

The Warriors, who made their first public statement on Wednesday also demanded that the federal government allows the $16 billion Export Processing Zone otherwise called Delta Gas City project to begin operations in earnest.

It also gave the government a two-week ultimatum to ensure that their demands were adequately met for a lasting ceasefire in the region.

Spokesperson of Ultimate Warrior, as it chose to be addressed, Sibiri Taiowoh, said if the FG truly wanted peace in the region, it should award 60 per cent oil bloc to indigenous people from the region as its primary demand for a ceasefire. The group further asked for commencement of academic activities at the Federal Maritime University established during the regime of former President, Goodluck Jonathan.
