anselm791: If this is their next course of action, then I'm afriad we might need to build bigger cells to accommodate the other 120 million GEJ's critics. Truth is we won't have to worry about what people say if we do a good job.

PointB: Let me digress a little.

They say Mr. Okio is an intellectual and the oppressor is the President, perhaps that's why his case has been given voice by our Resident Hypocrite, and his gangs.


When Nigerians were rounded up in the street, sent to detention camps for several months, unceremoniously and wickedly dumped by the foot of the bridge in the dead of the night, these same hypocrites claimed it was just and fair, and that the victims were destitute and derange, because their benefactor - Fashola was the aggressor in chief.

Perhaps since I don't know Mr. Okio from Adam, I could be justified in saying he is a destitute, even deranged, and is currently being rehabilitated in a Federal Rehabilitation center. I could say it with the same ferocity as the hypocrites who defended the deportation saga.

Those who come to equity must learn to come with clean hands.
why don't you call a spade a freaking spade?! If the topic was about tinubu's corruption..your likes woulda swarmed the thread like hungry roaches and feast on him with insults, but now the tables have been turned, rather than speak the glaring truth about jonathan's dictatorial act and rightfully condemn it, you'd rather resort to ur cheap and over-used comparison argument, especially using d corrupt south west leaders as example. Mister call a spade a damn spade!

That is the way the world works. Any slur on the ruling class and the super rich must be promptly dealt with or the herd of the stupid masses will catch on. This is not about GEJ; it's about the ruling class. One of two things will happen: destroy him or co-opt him. That's the way it's always been.

Sahara reporters? undecided

If this is true, I wonder why the thousands of other critics are still walking free. How could it even be true? There is more to this arrest, assuming there was even an arrest

Something is wrong with this man. His rivals are there looking at him critisizing him every minute of the day yet you will never take a reasonable action against them because he fears them instead he goes for a small fish altering side talk on a "leading no were road". i dont he will ever overcome his enemies and if he is the type of leader that attacks a helpless man then his failure wont be a suprise, i just hope the story is not true or is twisted.

PointB:


Here is one of them. Sahara Reporter perhaps trying to make a mountain of a mole hill (as they usually do) doctored this picture below to make it look like a huge crowd, and satisfy their reportage. The report (still on their site) was a lie and evidenced by the picture.

My dear, that is the modus oparandus of this Sahara Reporter fraudster - doctoring. As for Sowore, the least said about him here, the better!

According to publicly available information, [size=14pt]Mr. Okio was arrested on Saturday April 28,[/size] by officials of the Special Investigation Bureau (SIB) of the Nigeria Police and summarily taken to Yenagoa, where he is being detained in solitary confinement over his comments --- comments deemed critical of poor governance, corruption, and the hubris and excesses of government officials.

I still don't understand.. was he arrested in april and the news is just coming out

madam_oringo: I want to beseech the South Westerners to not get involved in this case, not because I do not personally feel for this man or that his cause is not just. Let us see if the SE will speak up for this injustice or the "oyel" people will speak up! Yorubas, do not get involved this time and let us see if Hilly Opara an iboman will do the right thing by confessing to the evil he has done on the prompting off the retardeenic GEJ. Maybe SR, Professor Soyinka, Falana, FFK, etc will just take a sabbatical for 6 months and let us see if what Ibos will do or the oyel owners will do to demand justice from this accursed generation of GEJ presidency and his ass eaters.

Sorry Mr. Okio, we've been trying for so long but they will eventually blame us and the Yoruba Lagos press for why you are kidnapped and then the APC, Tinubu, Fashola, etc. Let us see what will be done by these people.

Madam its not Ibo its IGBO, when will all this nonsense stop? And what has Igbo or SE got to do with this? As you can see the case clearly concerns the SS, so please take your misguided opinion some where else. Where is all this Igbo hate coming from? Are you guys not tired? Have ypu not had enough? For the umpteenth time its IGBO! nawa o....

Your sorry a.s.s need to wash the sheabutter off your eyes to see that your fellow ibos took over the thread and mentioned Yoruba first before the response you are crying over

Stop confusing people, you have always been ibos or what would you want to be called after igbo cos you have history of taken miles when given inches? igibo?

gbanikiti: I thought such things like this happen only in military administration?
Oh yeah? You thought a man whose first state visits one week after becoming president was to dictators Musevini and Biya was what? You thought a man whose first bill to the National Assembly 3 weeks after becoming President was a cleverly disguised tenure elongation bill was what? You though a man who had no qualms asking Henry Okah to blow up fellow Nigerians and then blame the North was what? A man who runs around wearing Field Marshal, Air Marshal and every other Marshal Uniform every opportunity he gets was what? I bet if they didnt tell GEJ that Harry Marshall was a human being and not a rank in the Army hed have been thinking on how to wear him to a parade just to show who oga at the top is.

Dude, believe it or not youre in a Military dictatorship. And if GEJ wins 2015 youre in a whole hell of a lotta trouble because then he will never give up the post again because he knows what the repercussion will be when he does (i.e Prison). Then again, hes already prepared to burn down Nigeria if he loses.

waternogetenemy: Freedom of expression is not absolute, the world over. If u must talk, talk peace TRUTH [/b]and not indoctrinate or incite rebellion/terrorism against the state.
People like you need to discern between soothing the egos of those in power,... and [b]saying the TRUTH, which is absolute!

The Truth when said, does not always make everyone happy but it still has to be said, .... otherwise our society is doomed by "Yes-Men".

Just imagine if Obama has this mindset and abuse his power, do you not think al Republicans, Tea Party and other dissenting Americans would be in Gountanamo Jail by now?

Police intimidation of opponents is not allowed in a democratic society.
If Jonathan thinks they have said something UNTRUTHFUL OR LIBELOUS, as President, he is even in a better position to let his lawyer charge them to a Court of Law, be convicted and sentenced.


That is how real men do, not using state power to frighten those who dont agree with you.

Aso rock is never a permanent abode of anyone, what goes around will come around eventually.

But can the APC apologists and paid attack dogs that daily roam the internet to publish mischievous, grossly biased and mostly unfounded news about GEJ administration,ever publish anything on the so many evils of Fashola's administration?Or those of Tinubu and other APC governors?
