2rut: Gov Fashola was wrong to arrest a senior Army officer. A disgrace to entire arm forces and citizens of Nigeria. He should have used more civilized approach colonel in Nigeria army represents entire nation while Gov Fashola represents entire Lagos state. Anyway, Gov fashola is lucky; a flag officer will command his aides de camp to double up fashola

Which of the flights? Is it the ill-fated DANA flight from Abj. to Lag. that crashed awhile ago. Then the three ladies at the background must be the air hostesses, and the white guy at the background too, the pilot. . Chairman look the picture well again, before u comment.

The news of the arrest of the colonel by the Lagos state governor seem to have been over celebrated by the media and the general public.
Before making any conclusion or taking any position. We need to look at it the predicament more closely and objectively and then weigh the implication.
First and foremost, it is acknowledged that it was not right for the military officer to have broken traffic rule.
In any case, the governor should have applied some tact in handling the situation.
A colonel in the Nigerian Army deserves to be treated with respect especially in minor cases of traffic matters which is not a genocide or criminal offense.
The senior officer was courteous enough to salute and apologize to the Governor for the breach.
I acknowledge the goodwill and forthrightness of the governor. I truly respect and love him.
However, his action on this matter appears to be an over reaction and tend to portray him as playing to the gallery even though that may not be his intention.
This action could have damaging effect on him and on the entire nation. In view of the current state of the nation, actions capable of creating cold war or bad blood should be handled more professionally.
The governor should have applied tact and diplomacy by just calling the officer to order instead of the arrest for the following reasons:

Exigencies and peculiarity of the military function
The rank of the officer involved who could be a military administrator or even a Head of State in a military rule
The risk and hazard this men go through to ensure the security of the nation within and without

The truth is that the military still appear to me like the most disciplined set of people you can find in this nation
My conclusion is that when a military man is found wanting in any matter that is not criminal, the best step to take is to report him to his superiors within the military who would naturally take appropriate disciplinary measure. This is far better better than trying to use civilians to embarrass them.
These men truly deserve our respect.

let that naijababe with deranged mind read this piece. Fashola that is arresting a Colonel must have done worse things in his government or is fashola a saint. Fashola dat is governor wuld hav abused his powers befor except you dont want to be pragmatic in your reasoning. So why will fashole treat this colonel as if he those not commit crime that is worthy of disgrace. Dis is my philosophy, whoever must come to equity must come with clean hands. He should have applied wisdom and tact in dealing with the senior millitary guy. I believe fashola was just executing that traffic law like an homo sapien with a little bit low IQ and sense of Judgement.
