The oil-rich Niger Delta Militancy has taken a new turn as militants
have vowed to break away from the federation of Nigeria. The separatist
feelings and aspirations which resulted in the ongoing
bombing of oil and gas facilities in the region have eventually found expression in unveiling its 'national' currency
Militants
have been carrying out attacks on oil and gas facilities of multinational
oil corporations in the region the very latest being Chevron facility at
its Escravos terminal on Thursday.
Niger Delta Avengers which
have claimed responsibility for the attacks have vowed to stop at
nothing until a sovereign state of the Niger Delta is actualized. A
source who spoke to our reporter on condition of anonymity says much has
been done to the region's ecosystem resulting from the operations of
oil companies in the region and that every hue and cry raised so far to
draw the government's attention to their predicament has fallen on deaf
ears.
Hence the action to secede from Nigeria became absolutely
necessary to save communities in the neglected region from gradual
extinction.
