A severe seven-day ultimatum has been issued to all global oil corporations working in the Niger Delta region by former warlords.
According to information obtained by Anaedoonline.ng, the former warlords are seeking the prompt payment of all unpaid benefits and stipends.
The former agitators known as the Black Waterway Boys, led by “General” London Diatacheko, often referred to as Odogu D Dollar, specifically targeted the multinational oil firms operating in the area, especially in Delta State, with their ultimatum.

Spokesman “General” Abra stressed the importance of paying all unpaid stipends within the allotted seven days when speaking on behalf of the Black Waterway Boys.
He said that the command was intended to compensate the former agitators for their previous work as monitors.
General London Diatacheko emphasised the mistreatment and exploitation endured by the native owners of crude oil before to 2013, giving their battle historical context.
He brought attention to an important turning point that occurred when the Avengers raised a similar alarm, which led to billions of barrels being lost, substantial harm being done to the land and waterways, and a negative effect on the indigenous people’s economic well-being.
Diatacheko regretted, “We, the indigenous survivors, have become poorer despite the abundant crude oil exported from our land daily,” voicing concern about the mounting dissatisfaction among the community.

Adding a note of urgency, he stated, “We, the boys, are angry. That is why we are demanding the return of our jobs or the properties in question. If they fail to comply, there will be an unprecedented and unbelievable attack if our ultimatum is not heeded.”
Diatacheko further pleaded with oil corporations and other pertinent parties to acknowledge that the Black Waterway Boys support economic growth, justice, and equitable distribution of the riches that come from their country.
He emphasised that the ex-agitators were hoping for a settlement that would put peace and fair resource allocation first.
