http://www.africanews.com/site/Nigeria_Militants_insist_on_monthly_allowance/list_messages/23824

The government of Bayelsa state in Niger Delta, Nigeria, has cried out that militants in the area have threatened to blow up oil facilities and wreck unnamed havoc if it keeps faith with the promise to rescind payment of the regular monthly allowance to them.

The Bayelsa government pays about NGN100, 000,000 (US$677,966) as servicing allowance to seven militants camps spread out in the state. But since the world financial crisis began to take a hard toll on Nigeria, the monthly allocation for the constitute states and local governments have dropped making the payment of salaries as well as make the execution of capital projects difficult.

With the threat from the militants the Bayelsa government has requested for more troupes of the joint military task force to be dispatched to the state.

How should Nigeria handle this situation?

this always happen in those African oil producing countries. the freaking militants always threaten to blow up oil.  I think the Nigeran government and African Union needs to step to the plate. The Nigerian military is at least competent, so they need to fight off their problems.

If america didnt, we probably would be saving tens of thousands of dollars by not sending people.
