Militants unveil new currency in the Niger Delta

The new currency is said to have started
circulating with the Niger Delta, and militants
in the oil rich region are using it to inform the
government of their demands for sovereignty
in the region.
According to The Daily Globe Watch, 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.
There have been a series of attacks by
militants in the region lately, the latest being
the attack by Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) on
trunk lines belonging to the Nigerian Agip Oil
Company (NAOC) and Shell Petroleum
Development Company (SPDC).
The NDA have vowed to stop at nothing until a
sovereign state of the Niger Delta is
actualized.
It is their claim that 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.
The NDA has threatened to do something that
will shock the whole world.
In a series of tweets, the militants revealed
that they blew up another oil pipeline belonging
to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) on Thursday, May 26, which they
claimed was heavily guarded by the Nigerian
military.
The group also blasted the Niger Delta
stakeholders over the meetings they held in
the region, stating that they want a sovereign
state and not pipeline contracts.
