The Niger Delta People s VolunteerForce http www.akumafiete.org is one of the largest armed groups in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria and is composed primarily of members of the region s largest ethnic group, the Ijaw people Ijaw . The group was founded in 2004 in an attempt to gain more control over the region s vast petroleum resources, particularly in Delta State . The NDPVF has frequently demanded a greater share of the oil wealth from both the state and federal government and has occasionally supported independence for the Delta region. Until 2005 the group was spearheaded by their presently incarcerated Citation needed date February 2010 charisma tic leader, Mujahid Dokubo Asari Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo Asari , who is viewed by many Delta residents as a folk hero . Founding and initial conflict The NDPVF s strongly Ijaw people Ijaw agenda has led to conflict with both the Nigerian state and federal governments, as well as with neighboring ethnic groups, notably long time rivals the Itsekiri . This rivalry precipitated a number of conflicts in the region, centered primarily around the cities of Warri, Nigeria Warri and subsequently the oil capital of Port Harcourt . The issue of local government ward allocation has proven particularly contentious, as the Ijaw feel that the way in which wards have been allocated ensures that their superior numbers will not be reflected in the number of wards controlled by politicians of Ijaw ethnicity. Control of the city of Warri, the largest metropolitan area in Delta State and therefore a prime source of political patronage , has been an especially fiercely contested prize. This has given birth to heated disputes between the Ijaw, the Itsekiri and the Urhobo about which of the three groups are truly indigenous to the Warri region, with the underlying presumption being that the real indigenes should have control of the levers of power, regardless of the fact that all three groups enjoy ostensibly equal political rights in their places ... more details

Album cover The somewhat controversial original cover was designed by Hipgnosis , as were almost all other UFO albums of the 1970s. For years, the genders of the couple in the bath were unknown, and the nudity was on the verge of decency standards. The models were actually Genesis P Orridge and girlfriend Cosey Fanni Tutti , both later of the band Throbbing Gristle . Fact date April 2009 The artwork was softened for the initial US release, making the loving couple in the bathtub transparent. There are two taps British English or faucets US English in the foreground, which suggests the title is a pun.
