Hi, Khadijah. The truth of this matter that no one seem to know is that the word 'militants' is really not the right word to call these people. I am opportuned to have a father who lectures at the Niger Delta University, Amassoma, Bayelsa State and I have also been there about 3 times spending nothing less than 2 weeks on each trip and I found out something significant, everybody sees the Niger Delta region as a problematic place in Nigeria but it is not. It surprises me that you don't even see these so called militants on the road not to talk of identifying them. These militants are deep in the creeks. They kidnap only those who are against there progress or people close to such people. They are really figthing for their land because development is at its bearest minimum in the Niger Delta region. Everywhere is filled with water construction of houses is difficult and where you are able to build your house, in the next few days, an oil company might spot oil under your building and they will surely destroy your house but will pay you compensation but the truth of the matter is that the compensation paid cannot be valued to your house, though it is much more money paid but it can't perfectly fit into the house you laboured over and that was pulled down, cars are expensive and life is also generally expensive. And from the ulterations of the government, you will see that the government is only interested in what they will get from that region, not what they can do for them. These 'militants' are really fighting for the right course and come to think of it, no one gets kidnapped by them and is killed or rough handled, they are returned safe and sound. I wish you can do there and see for yourself. The Niger Delta region is very peaceful and okay. These people don't attack ordinary people, but influential people.

Now,let's get this cleared.There are true militants & there are profiteers.The true militants are a product of the Niger Delta crisis,viz: the crisis of development and the crisis of instability.The true militants are those fighting to put issues related to the abject state of the Niger Delta in the National Agenda.They are people trying to ingrain the sorry state of human existence in the Niger Delta in popular consciousness.They are people that want the Nigerian state to pay attention to the goose that lay the golden egg.They are people that want the Oil multinationals & their partner the Nigeria state to protect our environment,even as they steal our Oil.This is what sustainable development is about,after all.The true militants are freedom fighters.The militants dont ask 4 ransom.now let's talk about the profiteers.
The profiteers are those who ve taken undue advantage of the crisis to pursue their parochial interest.They are those who are in the struggle for their personal aggrandizement.They are those who ve turn the Niger Delta crisis into a business.They are the once who kidnap people for ransom.They are the once who kidnap innocent little children,who do not know anything about the crisis.They are the once who ve turn the crisis into venture to achieve personal ends However,you should know that,anywhere there is fake,there is an original.Cus the fake is only an imitation of the authentic.

By their fruit,ye shall know them.Most of those talking about militants here ve never seen 1 in real life.Thus,U should listen 2 intellectuals that ve.& not some bias report from persons living in Abuja or Kano.
