It’s very interesting hearing Tompolo and Dokubo threatening War if Jonathan does not win the election next month ! I doubt much if these Ex -militants know the implications of what they are saying ! May be they did not witness the 30 months Nigeria civil war . You guys must know that some Nigerians sacrificed their lives to keep Nigeria one . Let me remind you that no single Nigerian born of a woman can divide Nigeria . If we didn’t fight to keep Nigeria one Jonathan would not have gotten opportunity to rule Nigeria . After him , many other Nigerians from Niger-Delta are still coming to rule the country . To keep Nigeria one is a task that must be done . Keep this in your mind . Ismail Adetola Lawal Lagos

Barr. Oru, an Urhobo, said as much when he said a Jonathan loss would mean that Nigerians do not like Niger-Deltans and would provoke secession. Jonathan’s has been the most troubled regime since this country was started. This is the first time a Niger-Deltan has governed Nigeria. Surprisingly, people are talking of power rotation without considering that Ibos have Nigerian rights like everyone else. After Niger-Delta it can’t even be North (which has ruled Nigeria 45 years out of our 54 years of independence). It’s an irony of life that a region that is the main (economic) stay of the nation should be this loathed. It is an injustice that cries to the high heavens and I pray that God will touch the hearts of Nigerians with a spirit of give-and-take to avert any possible bloodshed.
