OGONI YOUTHS BURN BIAFRANIGERIA POLICE STATION IN PROTEST:

quote:
PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria, May 17 (Reuters) - Hundreds of ethnic Ogoni youths attacked and burned a police station near the Nigerian oil city of Port Harcourt on Tuesday after officers shot dead one protester, witnesses said.

The militant youths barricaded the main road to the Port Harcourt refinery and closed businesses as they battled police trying to dislodge them from the area, witnesses said.

It was not immediately clear what sparked the latest youth protest in the oil-rich but improverished Niger delta, which had previously been caused by disputes over community projects, jobs and contracts.

"We understand that the police shot dead one youth and that the youths then went on a rampage and burnt down a police station at Eleme," a spokesman of the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People told Reuters.

Police could not confirm the death toll but said they had deployed more men to the area to contain the situation and stop it from spilling over to the city centre.

"The problem is very serious and our concern now is to try and manage it. We have drafted more men, especially riot police to the area," said Rivers state police commissioner Samuel Adetuyi.

Tempers have been high in the eastern delta since September when local warlord Mujahid Dokubo-Asari threatened an "all-out war on the Nigerian state" and to blow up key oil installations after the government attacked his militia strongholds.

Nigeria's biggest oil producer, Royal Dutch Shell, which accounts for about half of the OPEC-members around 2.3 million barrels per day oil output, was forced to abandon its operations in Ogoniland in 1993 after longstanding community protests.

Its unfortunate that the Ogoni youths were not there during the war ,I have no apology to them now that they have discovered that Hausas and yorubas are not there real brothers.

The words of the Igbos have come to reality.May be there destiny is with the full realisation of a pursuance of Biafra nation .How I wish the come out under the notion of Biafra.

I believe only then ,There rightful search to there natural resources would have a meaningful colour and the world would no doubt hasten to there natioal calling.

All we are saying is that wheather Ogoni,delta or igbo all is Eastern Nigeria.One people with common destiny , full blessed .

In Biafra remains the rightful dream of all easterners.

Massop and indeed all well meaning people of the east ,there is no hope in Nigeria..It is a failled state .

Come heaven and earth I hereby give a prophetic vision .I mean real and truthful vision that in rain and sun shall come to reality .With full committment of all eastern people ,forget about south south ,that was aimed at destroying the collective will of all eastern people thereby keep on siphoning our mineral resources.The hausas nad yorubas knew that if the eastern people stay or come togather ,there shabby and demonic dealings shall come to an end and all that the shall have is amala and burukutu.

"Nigeria shall demise in the next 8years",in Jesus name Amen.
