[quote author=frisky2good post=34238260]Who launched the first attack on the press? Have you forgotten he banned AIT?

[/quote
Point of correction, President Buhari's security aides barred AIT from covering Buhari's event and after it was reversed by the APC, President Buhari gave a stern warning to his aides never to try that again.

So that FOI passed into law is gone with GEJ? Buhari and apc believes that all law passed by GEJ has to go with him so that new ones which will openly support the new gobernment can be passed. Nigerians never no anything yet.

But thats an irony. Because they have entered a onechance vehicle. He will suprise them. 2.DISAPPOINTMENT: am happy because henceforth Gej will not be blamed for the failure of any idiot but PMB/PO BOX anyone. It is now there own that will deal with them.

we will see if u guys won't remember GEJ for one thing

sometimes i wonder how vague many of us can be.

I have learnt in life never to be quick to judge but rather wait to get a clear picture of a situation before making any form of ascertion.

Prejudice is a kanker worm

For instance look at the thread topic and that alone is misleading because im yet to ascertain the real reason why he was malhandled.

Jonathan’s Guards Forced Me To Stand In The Rain – Detained Punch Journalist
I set out on Thursday, May 28, 2015 to Otuoke, President Goodluck Jonathan ‘s country home in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State to capture the mood and the activities taking place there ahead of Jonathan’s welcome reception.

On getting to Otuoke around 10am, I went into the streets to interview residents (and community leaders) on their preparedness to receive one of their illustrious sons whose national assignment ended on Friday after losing the March 28 presidential election.

On my way back to Yenagoa, about 11:30am, I saw construction workers renovating the walls of Jonathan’s residence fence and putting finishing touches to buildings in his sprawling estate. I thought the activities were worth capturing in pictures to illustrate the views of Jonathan’s people.

So, I decided to take pictures of the activities of the construction workers. As soon as I took some shots, some operatives of the Joint Task Force guarding the gate of the estate swooped on me. They quickly ordered me to give them the BlackBerry I used to take the shots, which I obliged without hesitation. They said I was under arrest for taking the shots. Thereafter, they ordered that all my gadgets such as my Samsung Galaxy Notes, my mobile phone (Samsung Grand Prime) and my BlackBerry be seized.

They seized my office ID card and my wristwatch. They accused me of espionage and insisted that I should tell them the names of people who sponsored me. I told them I am a journalist (State correspondent for Punch Newspaper).

All my explanations did not assuage them as they were bent on torturing me. They said I was on their wanted list for running a previous story, ‘Aso Rock exit: Jonathan to live in Island Palatial estate.’ They threatened that I would pay dearly for that report.

In the process of their rough-handling me, the rain started. I was asked to stay in the rain where I was drenched. A military police officer came and asked them to allow me into the security gate. He said the commander of 5 Batallion, Otuoke, asked me to wait for him at the security gate for interrogation. I waited for close to five hours before the military police officer came in around 5pm and said the commander directed that I should be handed over to the police for further interrogation.

They drove me to Kolo Police Station in Ogbia. When we got there, I was temporarily detained behind the counter. About 30 minutes after, the Divisional Police Officer informed me that what I was accused of was a serious matter which he said they could not handle there.

The matter was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yenagoa. That was where I was allowed to make a call across to a colleague to tell my office and other journalists of my plight.

At SCID, they took my statement. In the course of writing the statement, the police spokesman, Asinim Butswatt came and said the commissioner of police wanted to see me with the ACP SCID and the investigating police officer handling the matter.

When we got to the CP’s office, I narrated what happened. After that, he asked the IPO to go and take a comprehensive statement from me. I was taken back to the state CID again where I was subjected to rigorous interrogation. At about 8pm, the IPO gave instruction that I should be ‘properly’ detained. As usual, they asked me to remove my pair of sandals, belt and shirt and I was thrown into detention by 9pm.

Inmates in the cell were cooperative on hearing that I am a journalist. Instead of beating me, they said any time I was released, I should help them to champion their cause. They said that some of them had been detained there for months without trial.

After the banter with them, I slept off. Around 12:30am, on Friday, a senior officer came and asked that I should be brought out. They brought a bail bond and asked me to fill, which I did. Thereafter, I was released on self recognition. However, I was asked to leave all my belongings there and report at the station later in the day.

There is total freedom of speech in Nigeria.

I don't know if it is covered in the Constitution.

Even if it is, I don't think the Constitution guarantees what should happen after the speech and that's where the beating comes in.

Can you talk? Of course it is your mouth. Tell me why.someone like Fayose shouldn't be beaten to coma.

Even in US, there is freedom of speech but that doesn't protect a citizen that shouts fire in a crowded theater. In other words, there are exceptions. All it takes is common sense. Because you have freedom of speech does not mean that you will walk up to a daredevil armed robber and start arguing with him

You are vaguely persimistic and negative and in oshiomole word i will tell you to GO AND DIE

We do not need a baseless, judgemental and negative insinuations at this early stage. FYI Jonathan hve destroyed this country so deeply that it may take the present government about 2yrs to clean the mess before stabilizing for the business of improving our lot.

The bribe money they collected from.GEJ to write rubbish about GMB is finished.

By the way, I am an advocate of free 12 lashes to most Nigerians everyday. Some of them are knuckleheads that can only respond positively when treated like animals. Red light, they won't stop. Join a queue, they will not. On the road, they drive against the traffic. To enter a plane or bus, they scramble. What is the solution? Koboko roasted in fire overnight.
