When Mr. Lawson Tekena, a graduate of microbiology, decided to make a U-turn in front of a building on Tombia Road, GRA, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, it did not occur to him that that singular act would land him in trouble. http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art20101025251956 |

Wow! A bunch of animals! A friend was just telling me a few days ago that if I ever go to Nigeria (I haven't been there since I was real young) that if I passed by,say, Tinubu's house and made a stop or slowed down that his security details would accost me and try to harass me! What kind of country is that that public roads are now off limits to the citizenry |

Am not rooting for anybody,but one sure thing I have learnt all these years is: A SOFT ANSWER TURNS WRATH AWAY.I said this because its possible that someone was trying to claim right or wrong whereas they are not adequately prepared for the consequences of their actions.No matter how animalistic those ratings were, a simple Oga no vex could have ended the whole fiasco but when you started arguing how you are citizen of the country and you have the right to make a U-turn anywhere then 1 would lead to 2 and 2 to 3 and so on and so forth.Am not supporting anybody sha, but am just thinking. |

shinaidowu:All things being equal, that is. These people have a very nasty orientation. Sometimes they see your humility as vulnerability and capitalize on it to brutalize you. Imagine the other 'olodolistic' she-goat asking what publishing the news will accomplish. |

The dude should sue their arsés for all the penny they aren't worth. If it were in the UK, he'd have more than a dozen "No win, No fee" solicitors knocking down his door, promising unimaginable claims. |

atikubaba:And how exactly do you know this? However I find it difficult to understand how such a trivial incident could lead to such massive violence. What exactly did this guy Tekena say to the naval ratings that set them off- all 5 of them(!) for that matter? |
Re: ‘i Was Brutalised For Making U-turn In Front Of A Retired Admiral’s House’ by gidson12(m): 12:29pm On Oct 26, 2010 |
its seem that the navals appear to be more brutal than their army counterpart |

Naval Ratings again! I think the problem with the Nigerian Military is first and foremost, a lack of discipline, and for the Navy, I think these ratings aren't seeing enough action (compared to their counterparts in the UK and USA), thats why they unleash their barbaric tendencies on helpless civilians. Just like in the Uzoma Okere case, I strongly believe that the behaviour of ratings attached to senior officers is a reflection of the character/personality of the senior officer in question. In other words, the senior officers are not better than the ratings. It is only in countries like Nigeria that the military believe they're above the law. In the UK and USA, these guys would have been arrested by the POLICE, but we all know even the Police in naija will be scared to confront them. |

things that ought to walk on their legs are doin so on their head in Nigeria. I know we cannot cont. like thses. someday, people will be willin to die and change the "status quo" of the elite/uniform men in this country. the common man that doesnt know 'somebody" suffer the most. |
Re: ‘i Was Brutalised For Making U-turn In Front Of A Retired Admiral’s House’ by samtoye(m): 3:18pm On Oct 26, 2010 |
Wole Soyinka once said " it is only a mad man that would challenge a man that holds a gun". As much i dont subscribe to brutality from the armed forcemen, let private civillian citizens be careful with their actions and words. 90% of us would do worse than what these forcemen did if we were given the power. "Do you know who i am?" that sentence has caused a lots of trouble for people. Nothing stops you from walking away from a potential imbroglio, swallow your pride and pocket your ego for your family's sake. Remember these Armed Forcemen are human too; gentle answer turns away wrath. If you suffer a permanent body damage, hundred newspaper publications wont return your lost body parts. Be wise. |

in this advent of mobile camcorders and smart phones? folks should learn to make use of the tools in their possession, why didn't someone covertly record the brutality? it was what also assisted in Ms. Uzoma okereke's case against the navy in her own saga. |

The naval ratings, nigerian police, mopol, the nigerian army - they are all the same trigger-happy animals. The girl that was brutalised by naval rating in lagos some 2 years ago was lucky to have video evidence and her dad was also an ex-army officer. As a result she had support and backing to fight her case. She later got cash compenstaion for the brutality. Now Tekena may not have the video evidence or the support from any powers-that-be to get justice. The police even came and left without doing anything because they are birds of the same feathers. Brothers in crime. May God save us from these criminals in the nigerian armed forces. |

samtoye: this isn't a military regime duh!~. . .the fact that you are a trained naval/military officer isn't a licence to brutalize anyone whose guts you hate!, you should stop giving bad excuses to justify bad actions, put the blame where it belongs! tensor777: I don't care what he said and did not say, he shouldn't be brutalized over such, neither does he deserve to lose his life. . . . when educated folks like you keep bringing up this line of reasoning to justify the most barbaric acts in the society then emancipation of the Nigerian people will never see the light of day. naval ratings are not demigods to be worshiped, their duty is to serve and protect Nigeria and her citizens, if they felt offended by whatever the man said, it is more appropriate if they take it up with him in a legal court!. . those animals should be charged with attempted murder! 1 Like 1 Share |

Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, Dr. Rita Inoma-Abbey, said she could not comment on the issue because she had not been briefed. Typical Efforts made to reach the Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Navy in the state, Mr. N. Yeibo, were abortive as he did not pick his calls when our correspondent called his two lines. Also, he had not responded to text messages sent to his line as at the time the paper was going to bed. He could care less Our correspondent could not also reach Porbeni, but his Personal Assistant who spoke on the telephone declined comments. She demanded to know our correspondent’s “interest”in the matter. Really? SMH “What is your interest in the matter? Are you Tekena‘s brother? I don‘t know what your interest is, but whatever it is; I will call Abubakar and tell him what you have told me. I don‘t know why you want to publish it in the newspaper; I don‘t know what your report will do,” she said. Oh, What a Pity. Now, Why in the hell do we have paid soldiers guarding a retired Soldier? WHY?!! Is Porbeni still in government? Did they freeze Porbeni's pension? Is Porbeni handicapped? He can't work and hire private security? Are Nigerian Naval ratings that jobless? or the Nigerian Military that Moronic? Is this a joke? Why are we paying soldiers to guard Retired Soldiers , who by definition are now CIVILIANS?!! Is he leading a military expedition in his bedroom? SMDH @ My Country. |
