Everyone knows this. Abba Moro wasn't even moved by what happened. He blamed the dead for their own deaths. Showed no sympathy for the dead. I wonder how he sleeps at night. Then after collecting 1k per head, he pocketed the money and shared it to his own people not knowing they're spending blood money. May God help us in this country

I want people to analyse how the unfortunate incident happened then we will stop blaming GEJ. It has always been our culture never to resign, step down or step aside in events of tragedy so I wasn't really surprised to still see Abba Moro and David Paradang on board. However, what happened was tragic and very unfortunate but come to think of it, what if the recruitment exercise had gone well will anyone be calling GEJ all these unholy names?

The stampede happened as a result if something, GEJ, or these government officials did not cause the stampede. I have a friend who was at the scene, it was pathetic as no one could exactly point at anything.
[s]
Talking about the money paid, we all know that this application was done online and a consultant was engaged, some fee had to be paid though the amount charged was high.
[/s]
Over I will still indict the immigration depart for not doing the test in batches so as to be able to control crowd and I think they have learnt a lesson from that ugly incident.

Now that the victims have been compensated and given automatic employments we have to commend the government on this and not use it as a political means. APC and supporters please take note.
Why must a fee be PAID ,WHY.That may make sense in your head but it does not to most Nigerians.
A consultant was engaged ,BY GOD or his Son JESUS?? Why?
, You spill all this as if it is the most natural thing to do, happening everywhere else in the world. People apply for all kinds of things online and DO NOT PAY.By similar logic why not ask people to pay for voter's cards
Let me tell you what is not only natural but actually obligatory. If you own a large building or venue you should INSURE it so when things like this happen your insurers are liable. Good insurers will not insure risky activity. They will ask that the venue is approved by Fire service for intended activities . Since that incident has there actually been any genuine learning in the government of safety procedures
We saw images of the so called test.Can any credible TEST have taken place under those circumstances. When you come out with such twaddle trying to insult or collective intelligence we will revolt and reject your nonsense.The insult is on you and your family.
People died because they were crowded into an unfit venue for a dubious enterprise it was not surprising at all.
Hear yourself " The stampede happened as a result of something" Do stampedes happen at Aso Rock? Why? Stampedes happen when there are large crowds in small spaces. The stampede happened because a callous and insensitive government organized or should I say misorganized a shambolic enterprise called an "aptitude test". The pictures of the test with "candidates" Cheek by jowl with each other were shameful enough to any decent human.
For you to come out in any kind of defence of that confirms you as a total beast

Not exactly.

Inasmuch as I do not like the PDP.....it does take time to verify/sift genuine claimants from the fakes. Then there is the bureaucracy....and the fact that financial compensation has to be worked out from the ever tight budget.(''No, you can't take money from there!"wink.

P.S....I wonder why no one has been sacked yet for the fiasco.?


All those may be true, but what about that m..oron that presided over the scam? what bureaucracy stalled his sacking?

I have stopped taking APC serious.

A bunch of confused fellows who are living under the delusion that they could eat their cakes and still have them.

Boko Haram was on rampage in the North East; APC went town making noises of how they eliminate insurgency by a single wave of hand. Then the authorities eliminated the political capital they were making with a national threat. The insurgents are being progressively defeated.
When there cock and bull story was becoming embarrassing, they started complimenting the gallantry of the nation's armed forces albeit tongue in cheek.

APC have been campaigning that Jonathan had forgotten the families of young Nigerians who died in the unfortunate Immigration Recruitment exercise. Jonathan then decided to exploit their disingenuous disposition, they are whining like there would be tomorrow.


Nothing smart here.

The All Progressives Congress has accused President Goodluck Jonathan of taking political advantage of calamities that have befallen Nigeria under his watch, saying giving N5m toeach family that lost a relative in the Immigration recruitment exercise after one year is not only belated but aimed at soliciting votes.In a statement issued in Lagos on Saturday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party wondered why it took thePresident one year to act on the promise he made to the families, adding that but for the forthcoming elections, the President would have simply ignored the families, “in his usual style.””The truth is that this President was forced to act because of the elections.

Otherwise, why has it taken one year for the President to redeem his promise to the bereaved families? Why has hisAdministration not sanctioned those who sent innocent job seekers to their early graves after extorting them? Why is the Interior Minister,Mr. Abba Moro, who presided over the deaths, still in office, virtually dancing on the graves of those innocent youths?”Sunday, March 15th, will mark one year since those vibrant youths were lured to their deaths by a callous federal government that failed them in all ramifications, including the security of their lives and the assurance of their welfare, the raison d’etre of any government.

It is therefore utterly reprehensible, immoral and wicked for the same administration to seek to make political gains out of the needless tragedy,” it said.APC said President Jonathan, “in his desperation for re-election, has also sought to take political advantage of other tragedies, including the Buni Yadi massacre of school children and the abduction of Chibok girls.”After refusing to even visit the families of those school children in Buni Yadi and Chibok, the President suddenly woke up and startedsending delegations to meet with them, all this because he needs votes. As a parent himself, how will the President feel if he had been so treated? Why must the President put his re-election over and above everything else, including the welfare and security of Nigerians? Is there no limit to desperation.”

It said Nigerians are keenly aware of the fact that this President has suddenly woken up from his deep slumber and become artificiallyhyperactive, making repeated visits to regions that he had neglected in the past six years and doling out hard currencies even at a time the Naira was taking a beating, all for election purposes.”No one is fooled by the antics of a desperate President, and in the fullness of time,

Nigerians will show President Jonathan and his cohorts that they are not impressed by his pretend governance,” APCsaid.

These APC people people sha! Did the president give marching order to the victims and their families to vote for him in the forthcoming elections? Everybody knows how cumbersome and time-consuming it must have taken the authority to investigate and ascertain the degree of injuries and death suffered, the number of authentic applicants involved in the tragedy and most importantly, authenticate the veracity of claims from the relatives of deceased applicants. Can't APC give this govt a break? Has APC's Fashola succeeded in compensating those he displaced at Makoko and other areas in Lagos State? Why do APC behave like saints which they are not?

Why can't you sacrifice your life during immigration exercise so that your younger brother/sister can enjoy the money GEJ will donate to your family too?

We are talking of death of innocent youth after they have been milked by this unorganized, and selfish govt and you are here talking rubbish or is it a lie if I say the increment in school fees affects all the FG owned institutions too?

Worse still, he promised to refund all the money collected from applicants, has he done so?

We are talking about life, you are talking about hike in school fee. Now that Fashola has corrected his mistake by reducing the said school fees, can GEJ bring back the soul of thes e innocent youths? Has GEJ done anything to bring the Minster who oversee the death of these youths to book?
GEJ is an election president; not the president of the poor masses.

I will not take that insult from you, I expect civility in your response to my mention ok. I addressed a general house and did not take a swipe at anyone, so if you have to respond to my mention, I suggest you do that objectively & constructively.

Now that the avoidable damage is done, the government had done what it could to compensate the victims and family of those who lost their lives in that sad incident, so what do you now want?, for everyone to get sacked right? Yes you are damn right but that wouldn't bring back those who had lost their lives, take it or leave it. It doesn't change anything. Lessons are learnt everyday and people must move on with their lives. We've seen people die in avoidable auto accidents and yet other drivers still don't learn the lesson, you still see accidents happen everyday and people die yet it doesn't stop other people from traveling.

You speak of crowd crowd crowd. Haven't we seen several thousands of people attend crusade in some churches? why had there not been stampede in such places? Do stampede happen just because you have crowd at the venue? Even as unacceptable as it is, yes the organizers performed abysmally poorly but that doesn't rule out the fact that people would still had failed that test even if everyone had to look up answers in the text books.

About the payment, I find it funny how are quick we compare Nigeria with western countries where we don't even know how things work internally, all we see is the superficial effect of what goes underneath. We don't even know what the infrastructure looks like and how it is managed and administered. Now tell me one government parastatal that has a realtime functioning Internet/IT infrastructure. Even in Lagos state government, most of their IT infrastructure is run on contact by consultants. So does it mean that immigration department cannot engage a consultant who can set up IT infrastructure to help at least in the online registration? Even though the fee is quite high, but it sure gave the consulting firm a lifeline to continue its existence and also pay its staffs. Or you think that the immigration department should had stuck to paper application forms which must definitely disenfranchise a lot of applicants whose application forms will be used in selling roasted yam and plantain even to them?i
Please wake up and stop this insults, the reality is that it was a lesson learnt in a very sad and hard way and the government had done something in the right direction even though it's sad, but NIGERIA must move on, we can't get stuck there.

Lastly, I still maintain that if the test had gone well and people got jobs, would anyone come out here to blame GEJ or complain about the 1,000 fee paid. What if the registration project was awarded to you as an IT consultant and the process went well and no issues, would you say the fee paid was too high? Please let's accept to move on even sadly as we remember what had happened. We can't stop moving on. I have seen worst disasters yet the victims had kept it behind them and moved on. It's your choice and your call, GEJ had tried compensating the victims and I think it's ok. This doesn't make anyone a beast.
