If I may ask, why the throwing of tantrums here and there between nairalanders? Is that how ought to relate despite our differences? Is that the solution to the malady we are witnessing?

If this trend continues this way, I foresee a higher realm of cluelessness in this generation more than we've witnessed before.

In a no distant future, those attacking this woman unnecessarily for her bravely stance in demand for truth would be very ashame. The entire saga so far has expose the uncivility, clannishness and how untrained these people are. It further shows how heartless, wicked and unemotional they are to the plight of the kidnapped girls and the country as a whole. To them, every critism is an avenue to lash and insult 'perceived enemies. Shame we have such pests and urchins around us. I pray these people are in the minority if not, this portend a great danger to the social psych of our nation. I feel sorry for their lineage.

Until she begins to speak against the gov't, she's never been subjected to such harsh treatment. Ezekwisili isn't the boko boys. If the sss needs someone to flesk their muscle, they know where to find them, not some woman performing her civic right now 'mistaken' for the real bad boys.

You people are just expressing hatred on the woman because she is asking President Jonathan to do the needful and bring back our girls (or at least make an attempt to rescue the girls). She was a vice president of world bank for God sake, she would have travelled out of Nigeria hundreds of times. If she complains of bad treatment from SSS, it means the SSS went beyond the usual security routine of interrogating intending travellers.

Where did you paid hacks get the idea that Oby Ekwesili was minister of education for 8 years? are you people that ignorant or delibrately spreading falsehood?

It seems the TRUTH is finally revealing itself, to wit:

She was stopped, questioned, searched like any ORDINARY Nigerian traveler and she started CLAIMING arrest to gather sympathy from her CLUELESS fellow compatriots who cannot fathom and reason through the protocols of international travel sad
Anyway as she be former Minister of Education the korofos suppose recognise Big Mama, abi

How many of us have been questioned likewise while travelling out of Nigeria or even other countries shocked
Anyway as we nor be FORMER Minister we nor sabi scream ARREST for twitter angry

BTW, I hope our highly educated, widely travelled FORMER Minister realises that the last page of OUR national passport proclaims & I quote:

This passport remains the property of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and may be withdrawn at any time.


The first page contains, under the Coat of Arms of the country, the following words:

These are to request[b] in the name of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria[/b] all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford him or her every assistance and protection of which he or she may be in need.

Anyone who has his national passport close by can check/verify the above quotes.
Meanwhile this is what happened with Edward Snowden's Amercian passport :

My friend don't say what you don't know, Before you board any airline to travel out of the country you must pass through security procedures, checks before you embark on your journey, her own won't be different, many of GEJ loyalists also pass through the same clearance is it because they didn't post about it that make you to come to this hasty conclusion. Are you telling me that all the other passengers that board the same plane entered the aircraft without been searched or their passport searched to check if they are valid.

Where did you get your truth from? are you the SSS official that stopped her or the spokesman of SSS? Because from SSS accounts, they only denied arresting her, they did not give details of what transpired.

Why don't you guys demand for details of the incident before jumping into conclusion. You can demand from either Madam Ezekwelisi herself or the SSS, before to start to crucify her.

The parts of the passport you quoted has no bearing whatsoever on the matter at hand. First SSS denied seizing her passport, so i do not understand how the example of revoking snowden's passport comes in here. Was her passport revoked? can SSS revoke a citizen's passport?

does nothing to support your argument, in fact it kills it.

This quote also applies to the SSS. So the SSS is obliged to offer her every assistance and protection as long as she is a law abiding citizen.

As i said i do not have the details of what happened, but one thing is certain, Madam Oby was not pleased at how she was treated.

Well here you are from the UPDATED Premium Times report on her CLAIMED "arrest":

A former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, was Monday morning arrested by security agents at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, as she tried to travel to London for a scheduled engagement.
The operatives confiscated her travelling documents as well.

She was however released after the government came under intense pressure as news of her arrest flooded the social media and travelled around the country, with many Nigerians lambasting the administration for increasingly clamping down on critics and members of the opposition.
[size=15pt]Mrs. Ezekwesili had tweeted at 7:37 a.m.[/size] Monday that she was heading to London to appear on the BBC Hardtalk programme but was prevented from boarding her flight by security operatives.
Is this a democracy? I am being detained by the SSS at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport . The SSS has refused to give my passport to me,” she posted. “On my way to London this morning for my @BBCHARDtalk appearance billed for tomorrow and the SSS has detained me by withholding my passport.”

These tweets soon went viral within minutes with several Nigerians on social media lampooning the government and calling for the immediate release of the former minister.
At 8:03 am, Mrs. Ezekwesili tweeted that the operatives had released her passport.
“SSS has released it. [size=15pt]Just barely made the BA flight. Last to board @ 7.55[/size] for an 8.00 am flight that is now taxiing. Is this democracy?” she wrote. “No one can seize my democratic rights. I refused to let the SSS get away with trampling on my constitutional right.”

More from: http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/165267-oby-ezekwesili-arrested-released.html

Please how many minutes are there between 7.37 and 7.55

She was obviously FORMING Big Madam as in she be FORMER Minister and they make plenty NOISE with these Chibok mishap to regain RELEVANCE.
Is that not how WE are

The parts of the passport you quoted has no bearing whatsoever on the matter at hand. First SSS denied seizing her passport, so i do not understand how the example of revoking snowden's passport comes in here.

Can you see where she said "no one can seize my democratic rights"
In short, a national passport is not anyone's democratic right as it is clearly stated on the passport itself.
Get it

Was her passport revoked? can SSS revoke a citizen's passport?

The DSS says her passport was not seized even though they are CONSTITUTIONALLY empowered as a law enforcement agent of the FRN. not so

Again, we should be CAREFUL to be well informed and apply a reasonable amount of common logic so we are no longer treated as MUGUs by our politicians.

The government will have to be careful with people like madam oby and the likes internationally they are advocates of equity and fairness. Why wouldn't we believe she was a victim of DSS impunity when everyone who speaks against the government is an enemy. And madam oby too will have to give cut DSS some slack too I mean it could possible be a routine check.
GEJ needs to talk to our service personnel too, his reputation and Nigerias reputation has suffered in the international community these past few months a little fanning on the embers of coal won't do any good to anyone. I kind of pity GEJ from day one he has been fighting up till now and he still wants to go another 4 years I just hope its all worth it.

Where did you read that Mrs Ezekwelisi was detained from 7.37 to 7.55? It says she tweeted at 7.37 and was released at 7.55, which is just 5 mins from the 8:00 take off time. If you have travelled before you will know that travellers are to start boarding at least 1 hr before flight time. The report said everyone was boarded except Ezekwelisi and the plane had to wait for her before it taxied. The question should be why was she the only one held? did other passengers go through the same lenghty detention and seizure of passport? The SSS should explain further why it was only Mrs Ezekwelisi that underwent lenghty "security" checks.
anonimi:

In short, a national passport is not anyone's democratic right as it is clearly stated on the passport itself.
Get it
The issue of a passport being a right as against a priviledge is a legal issue and i think the issue had been thrashed out at the courts (lawyers can educate us further on this).


anonimi:
The DSS says her passport was not seized even though they are CONSTITUTIONALLY empowered as a law enforcement agent of the FRN. not so

Again where did you get the notion than SSS (or any other security agency) has the powers to seize our passports. Where in our constitution did you read that? The only agency of government that can seize passport is the judiciary - the courts. Agencies of government need a court order before passports can be seized. The revocation of a passport is another matter altogether, I am not sure of the procedure, but i think it would involve the ministry of internal affairs. But definitely, SSS do not have the powers to revoke a citizen's passport.
anonimi:
Again, we should be CAREFUL to be well informed and apply a reasonable amount of common logic so we are no longer treated as MUGUs by our politicians.

Honestly you have no idea of what democratic Governance is or how a government functions. To you all government starts and stops with the use of force by the president.
