5 things that may likely happen if Republic of N-Delta emarge

This comes contrary to reports that the militants had accepted pleas to embrace negotiations with the federal government. The threat as expectedly raised eyebrows in the country as many have wondered what would be the consequences, should the militants go ahead with the secession. NAIJ.com presents 5 things that may likely happen should the Avengers declare independence on October 1. 1.

Nigeria’s economy could be grounded should the Niger Delta republic emerge.
