Chapter IV: Fishers of Men: The Political Economy of Kidnapping in the Niger Delta absence of basic infrastructure and inequality. Efforts by the people of the Niger Delta to get the Nigerian state to address the issues started two years before independence in 1960 and initially consisted in innocuous requests and agitations for creation of separate states for them but became more decidedly requests for environmental remediation and demands for access to more of the oil revenues for the development of the region, especially since the late 1990s. Fortunately, the first request has been largely met as a result of the exigencies of keeping the country together in the face of the Biafran secession in 1967 and by the coincidence of the Niger Delta request with the objective interests of Nigeria’s majority ethnic groups. It is in connection with the latter two that both the oil MNCs and the Nigerian state have shown less than good faith, using the coercive apparatuses of the state to provoke the emergence of militant youth groups that have found kidnapping as a veritable weapon to compel attention and wrest concessions. Kidnapping has also become a popular means by which unemployed youths demand welfare from politicians within the Niger Delta who may have dumped them after arming and using them as political thugs in the series of elections since the return to civil rule in 1999 after about 16 years of military rule. It has also become an expression of the general angst of unemployed youths against the rest of society and as a way of making a living albeit, criminally. There also exists a possibility that some kidnappings may have been 118
Dr. William Ehwarieme orchestrated by agents of the Nigerian state as a way of discrediting the militant movements committed to getting a better deal for the region. In all, the underlying economic and political causes of kidnapping are revealed by the analyses of the targets and nature of demands of the kidnappers. 119
