"The great questions of the time will be decided, not by speeches and resolutions, but by iron and blood"- Otto von Bismarck
Nigerian military Joint Task Force began a punitive expedition on the Niger Delta oil bearing community of Agbeti in Delta state at about 2100Hrs, Thursday, June 25, 2009 some few hours after their commander-in-chief, President Umaru Yar'Adua made an amnesty proclamation.
Their mission was to seek the homes of perceived militants and raze them to the ground ahead of any amnesty.
This action by the soldiers serves as an in-sight to what the region should expect in a one-sided balance of uncontrolled power from a military that lacks discipline and nurses hatred and seeks revenge for their humiliating defeat.
In response, at about 2300 hrs the same day, Thursday, June 25, 2009, Piper Alpha continued it's rampage on the Nigerian oil industry by blowing up the second remaining well head (jacket B) of the Shell Afremo off-shore oil fields in Delta state.
