MY MESSAGE TO THE REAL NIGER DELTA AVENGERS - Russell Bluejack

RESUME HOSTILITIES AGAINST THE OPPRESSORS WITHOUT FEAR

I have been quiet for too long. I am an Ijaw intellectual, though not the conventional copy-and-paste intellectual that sleeps with women to award them scores. I am a thinker, a social and environmental gadfly (Socrates) of my time. One thing I know is that Nigeria is a huge mistake that we must all work hard to correct. A nation where the GEESE that lay the Golden Egg are the oppressed and victimised is indeed on the road to perdition.

It is against that backdrop that I wish to urge our heroes, the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), to henceforth disregard every other group and do the needful. Yes, our beloved Tompolo is reputable, but he does not have our mandate to stop the real avengers from carrying out their plans. We, the enlightened indigenes of our region give you, our esteemed heroes, the go-ahead to do everything possible to restore our sovereignty as coastal and hinterland parts of Biafra.

Nigeria has stolen so much from us. Our complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Yes, we are pen warriors, but we also know that it takes both the strength of the PEN and the NOZZLE of GUNS to get it right at times. Besides, we have not forgotten that we are dealing with the most unlettered, most vicious, and cursed savages of all time. Of course, when we use the might of our pen to hit the few averagely educated enemies, our warriors in the creek should go for the numerous unlettered and violent jihadists.

The real Niger Delta Avengers have taken the place of Tompolo, MEND, PANDEF et al in our hearts. NDA remains the best warriors we have that have the potency to send waves of fear down the spines of our godless foes. NDA should not listen to anybody this time around. They should resume and never stop until our people in both the coastal and hinterland parts of Biafra are liberated from the shackles of oppression and suppression.

We are the people. No politician or militant has our permission or mandate. Everyone that hobnobs and frolics with the oppressive government is an enemy of the people. Everyone that wines and dines with our self-seeking and self-serving politician in both the East and South-South has lost his representative capacity. Now that I know that the NDA is still up and doing and sinless, I urge you all to go ahead. Yes, blow away all those pipes that are used to cart away our natural endowments. How can we continue to thirst in the midst of plenty? We own the YAM, but they own the KNIFE.

We are not violent, but since violence is the only language they, our oppressors, understand, then we should give it to them. In the struggle for freedom both the pen warriors and the physical combatants are needed. We must fire from all wings in order to win this DUEL. The NDA have every right to resume hostilities against the hostile Nigerian Government. The hostile Federal Government have violently invaded our lands in the name of Python Dance II, which evolved to Crocodile Smile II, and that has become Octopus Grip. They run away from Boko Haram, but attack us. I think they should be kept busy.
