Hurricane Piper Alpha hit the Abiteye flow station operated by Chevron today,
Monday, June 15, 2009 at about 0200 Hrs triggering another "systems failure" which
resulted in a massive fire outbreak that is consuming the entire facility.

The Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) suspects the flow
station located in Delta state must have been harboring war criminals of the
Nigerian army as they make an excellent conductor for the lightning that accompanies
hurricanes.

To avoid this reoccurring situation, our technical advice to oil company systems and
electrical engineers is simply to remove and discard the causative factor which we
have identified above, then replace it with justice and that should do the trick.

Our advice to all Niger Deltan's residing in Northern Nigeria including Abuja is to
return home within the next 8 weeks because a major event will occur in that part of
the country and reprisal attacks directed at them can not be ruled out. The same
applies to the Northerners residing in the Niger Delta axis.

After destroying the entire oil infrastructure in Delta state, the hurricane will
move into the neighboring states of Bayelsa and Rivers before passing through the
remaining states of Ondo, Edo, and Akwa Ibom then finally head off-shore.

In spite of having to watch our resources used to develop other regions to our
detriment, our civilian communities destroyed, we now witness a brazen absence of
federal character in all the key positions in this administration which has been
selfishly taken up by the North.

We hope that by the time the oil and gas exports come to zero, Nigeria will maintain
those positions from the export of groundnut oil.

We will want to use this opportunity to advice FIFA to have a re-think about Nigeria
hosting the under-17 world cup tournament at this time, as the safety of
international players and visitors can not be guaranteed due to the current unrest.
