We are sick, thoroughly sick of seeing individuals who have achieved nothing for the Niger Delta open their mouths to tarnish the name of Tantita Security Services, a company that has done more for this region and for Nigeria than their entire existence has ever contributed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is shameful, disgraceful and insulting that while Tantita works day and night securing oil pipelines, blocking crude theft, boosting national revenue, creating employment, empowering young people, increasing IGR and saving the economy from total collapse, some idle tongues sit behind the comfort of gossip and propaganda trying to stain what they did not build. A company that stands as a shield for our resources is now the target of people who only know how to destroy. We tolerated you long enough, today, we have had enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your community is fighting, fight it by yourself. If you have personal problems or jealousy burning in your chest, solve it without dragging Tantita into it. Do not turn the name of a national asset into a weapon for village politics. It is sickening, it is senseless and it stops today. Tantita is not responsible for your failures and it will not bow to your bitterness. You cannot dim the sun because your candle refuses to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have Shell here. We have Chevron here. We have multinational corporations scattered across the Niger Delta and none of them have given half the security and economic stability Tantita has delivered. Yet it is Tantita you attack. It is Tantita you target. It is Tantita you gossip about like idle market women with nothing meaningful to do. Why? Because progress terrifies you. Because success in the hands of Niger Delta people feels like a threat to your relevance. Because you cannot understand why a company from your own soil is performing beyond expectation while you remain stuck in the mud of pettiness and hate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your bitterness is not patriotism. Your propaganda is not activism. And your mission to smear Tantita only exposes your fear, the fear of seeing Niger Delta rise without needing to bow to outsiders. We will not watch quietly anymore. We will speak, we will defend and we will remind you that the economic heartbeat of this nation today owes its rhythm to Tantita\u2019s sacrifice and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot appreciate development, then step aside. If you cannot contribute anything meaningful, at least have the decency to praise others who have. This region demands progress, not noise. Nigeria deserves security, not sabotage. Tantita is working and no amount of blackmail or bitterness will erase its impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not use Tantita to fight your personal enemies. Do not drag the name of a builder into your backyard quarrels. This open letter is the last time we will address this nonsense with words. The Niger Delta is watching. Nigeria is watching. History is writing names. And those who stood in the way of progress will not like where they are placed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chief Ziakede Jackson ~ Chairman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr, Efemena Godswill ~ Secretary<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Niger Delta Elders for Developmental Movement<br \/>4\/12\/2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Government<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Security Adviser (NSA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Delta State Government<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ebiowei Gabriel OPEN LETTER TO THOSE WHO HAVE MADE IT A HABIT TO DRAG&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5094,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13],"tags":[1663,1666,1665,1664,1662],"class_list":["post-5138","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-falsehoods","tag-group-writes-open-letter-to-individuals","tag-groups-trying-to-drag-tantita-security-services-nigeria-limited-into-personal-war","tag-propaganda-can-bring-tantita-down","tag-says-no-amount-of-blackmail"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/img_5416.jpg?fit=647%2C703&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3797,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2025\/06\/27\/oil-theft-human-and-environmental-rights-group-writes-open-letter-to-president-tinubu-urges-him-to-reject-smear-campaign-against-tantita-security-services-says-tantita-deserves-commendation-not-vil\/","url_meta":{"origin":5138,"position":0},"title":"OIL THEFT: Human And Environmental Rights Group Writes Open Letter To President Tinubu, Urges Him To Reject Smear Campaign Against Tantita Security Services, Says Tantita Deserves Commendation Not Vilification","author":"Freeborn Abraye","date":"June 27, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"By Uche Alvin \u200eOPEN LETTER TO HIS EXCELLENCY, PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR\u200eReject the Smear Campaign: Support Tantita Security Services for a Peaceful, Safer and Cleaner Niger Delta.\u200e\u200eYour Excellency,\u200e\u200eWe write to you on behalf of Niger Delta Rights Watch, an independent organization dedicated to the promotion and protection of human\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;News&quot;","block_context":{"text":"News","link":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/news\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_0321-1.jpg?fit=678%2C452&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_0321-1.jpg?fit=678%2C452&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/img_0321-1.jpg?fit=678%2C452&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x"},"classes":[]},{"id":5210,"url":"https:\/\/coastaltimes.com.ng\/index.php\/2025\/12\/14\/delta-elders-group-makes-rebuttal-to-the-linking-of-tantita-security-services-to-venezuelan-vessel-apprehended-by-u-s-forces-by-itsekiris-describes-itsekiris-as-promoters-of-falsehood-propaganda\/","url_meta":{"origin":5138,"position":1},"title":"Delta Elders Group Makes Rebuttal To News Spread By Itsekiris Linking Tantita Security Services To Venezuelan Vessel Apprehended By U S Forces, Describes News As False, Untrue And Born Out Of Envy","author":"Freeborn Abraye","date":"December 14, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"By Freeborn Abraye REFUTAL WITH FACTS & UNRESERVED COMMENDATION FOR TANTITA SECURITY SERVICES LIMITED We write with righteous clarity of facts and the authority of elders who have seen the Niger Delta bleed, burn and finally begin to breathe again.
