Okija_juju: Again, I dont give a &^%# how you feel about whatever I say.Shut up there Enwe! Is that how to ask for truth? No one cares about you either but if you come here talking shit expect what you get! Right back at your mother hopefully someone successfully chops off her leg so you are not in doubt! |

@ Okija_juju, I've lived in sapele long enough to know what these naval guys can do, they would beat you to pulp over the slightest provocation. The lady in question i know too, and she's not the type to insult customers over nothing; all she does is sit and watch. Till date, Mess 20 is my fav joint for banga soup and starch whenever i visit that town. The Naval logistics centre has been moved from sapele to oghara and the okada men in oghara has had their own taste of navy presence, until they were called to order recently. Given their track record, I believe those guys did what they always do [OPPRESS], just that this time, they're in for a looooong thing. |

I sincerely doubt this...no officer will conduct himself in this manner, and no ratings can just go about shooting bullets that will be accounted for...get ur facts very very correctly before concluding |

Now I can say I am leaning more towards believing her version of events.. However, it would still be nice to hear from a client who was there at the time and also the Naval guy involved.. Guy an axe was involve o!! Do you know how angry you would have to be with someone to want to decapitate and kill the preson?! She could have bleed to death!! I still feel the story is incomplete.. aribisala0: Shut up there Enwe!This is the part where the conversation breaks down... I wonder why I ever thought you were worth the effort. |

Okija_juju's suggestion may sound harsh, but I think wisdom lies there in. I think a lesson for us all is that it is better to be safe first. Unfortunately she can't identify any of the supposed Naval personnel (who knows if there are not even Naval personnel) I think when confronted with such situation, especially in ones place of business, we should try as much as possible to placat mad customers, so they don't forment trouble. We end up being the ultimate looser Let me share a personal experience. My wife and I ran a factory. One day I received a call that the factory attendant was in the police station. He had a fight with a customer, who wanted to take goods claiming he'd paid when he'd not (this was in Ajelogo market b4 government leveled it. Ajelogo/Akanimado area was a big time slum and we had issues with boys with ridiculous excuse to defraud us) Fight ensued, my attendant (an Hausa) beat us the customer; the boy's mother came to make trouble, could not overpower my attendant......before we knew what was happening, my attendant was in Police cell in Mile12, while the customer was not detained. What counted against him was the Hausa factor. The Police did not want to hear any of his explanation, despite the fact that he was attacked first (He being Hausa was came guilty by default) We spent money to secure his release and close the case. Then I told him - WHY DID YOU FIGHT ? For a dispute of less than 1k, we spent almost 5, and this was because my father-in-law has some police connections......I think we should try as much as possible to avoid confrontation in our place of business, as much as we can. Getting into altercation, insisting that she won't sell food to them and insulting the supposed navy guy and the wife, despite the fact that they were on her turf, is not the smart thing to do... my 2 cents Okija_juju: She shouldnt have fhucked with the Navy... |

I know these military people can be savages, however this matter took a really serious turn for such a trivial statement. |

Has the Navy paid Uzoma the court judgment.Did not the same Navy go on Rampage last month in Ogun State attacking traffic officials. Which Nigerian is not aware of the excesses of these people.It does not matter whether you know the lady or whether she is badly behaved.Even if she slapped a Navy person first is this the correct and civilized response. Don't we have laws in our country are they above the law? This is an issue that will not stop unless the Commander in Chief decides it must stop. That will mean 1. Deciding 2. Retraining and re-orientattion 3. Clear and predictable sanctions including dismissal and prosecution. Part of the problem is that discipline in the military is often enforced by corporal punishments like beatings,frog jump etc which was what the British taught them presumably and so they take out that kind of aggression in their interactions generally whether with their family or other civillians. Life has moved on.The British don't do that anymore and the skies have not fallen. I believe that some progress might have been made in reorienting the officers but maybe they believe the old approach is the best way to keep their men in lower ranks sharp.They need to learn how to relate to civilians |
| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by tonte(m): 10:13am On Aug 10, 2012 |
I repeat no OFFICER will conduct himself in this manner......ratings? Maybe yes, if yes, no ratings can just go about shooting sporadically because they will have 2 account for the bullets and the punishment they Stand 2 face for wasting ammo is far more considerable than just teaching a woman a lesson....get ur facts right |

Unfortunately she can't identify any of the supposed Naval personnel (who knows if there are not even Naval personnel)Your words are wise but not everyone is the same.It is alway easy to be wise after the event. Humans are not all the same and see things differently. The woman has every right to refuse to sell to unruly customer and it is the duty of government to protect her rights. THAT is the essence of DEMOCRACY.To paraphrase Mandela; the chains or whip on my sisters back is a chain or whip on my back. Many of our fathers kept quiet during IBB's government but people like Gani Fawehinmi and Beko Ransome-Kuti spoke. Gani felt that if he could not talk he was already dead and so he was not afraid of IBB's death. The issue here is not about what the woman did or did not do morally but about THE RULE OF LAW IN OUR COUNTRY. Did the woman break the law? How does she get justice? Those are the issues. The reason why we are talking here is because we want this sort of thing to STOP unless you are suggesting that this is normal and we should just accept it and carry on. Why did we not accept colonialism ? why did we fight till the white men left. Even then I am sure there were some Nigerians who would say Ah I don't want Oyinbo to kill me it is better for them to continue than for me to die. or as you would say "BETTER TO BE SAFE FIRST". I[b]f everyone was like that Oyinbo would still be ruling South Africa today![/b] This issue is very much bigger than that woman and it pains me people do not see this. Yes everyone knows you do not argue when an armed robber points a gun in your face but does that mean we must accept armed robbery in our society or fight it? This is not about what the woman should or should not have done but What to do about the Navy. We are told at least ONE of them has been apprehended.It really will not be difficult to get the rest! |

Okija_juju: She shouldnt have fhucked with the Navy... This case is as good as dead on arrival. She can't identify the officers who committed the offence, so what does she expect the Navy to do? MORAL LESSON: Choose your battles wisely... -------------------------- @Okija_juju. You're such a despecable m0ron, your thinking is too poor It's the woman today, it may be your mother or your wife tomorrow I have watched a video where a young lady was actually slapping hitting a soldier (in India) What the hell is wrong with our own military guys Police is killing people wrecklessly. This Boko-Haram issue arose from police extra-judicial killing Navy is doing their own God will save us in this country |
| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by aribisala0(m): 10:35am On Aug 10, 2012 |
Okija_juju: Fianlly, someone gets the point!!Did Ojukwu choose his battles wisely ![]() Or was he right to fight for his principles? Okija_juju: Thank you!!According to your logic intensity of anger and ferocity of attack reflect the degree of provocation by the victim. So thousands of Igbos were killed by rampaging abokis and lots more by Federal troops. God they must have been really angry!! Maybe the story is incomplete.....,.....,.. |
| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by Okijajuju1(m): 10:44am On Aug 10, 2012 |
fm7070: Okija_juju: She shouldnt have fhucked with the Navy...Why did you call me a Mor0n sir?! How rich is your thinking sir?! Did you even think at all sir?! Can you even think sir?! Is this India sir?! I have lived in Ghana where there is 24hrs light, whats wrong with our Electricity company?!! I have driven in London where there are no potholes, Whats wrong with our Works & Maintanance depaartment?! Nigga, If you had an iota of sense, you would have noticed that post was very wise. Too wise for r'etards to fathom. Everybody knows that MEN IN UNIFROM in Nigeria are arseholes. Even LASTMA thats not even an armed force sef are arseholes.. I have seen riots in Russia where people hurled Molotov cocktails at the approaching Police line... Would you try that in Nigeria?! O.K sir, try slapping a Mopol. Or even holding his shirt.. Even a child knows you dont aggravate them, they are animals and to make matters worse, armed. I said the case was dead on arrival because the first problem is She has no names.. How do you prosecute a case against nobody?!! And if you dont think that you should choose your battles wisely, then I dont think your problem is just being a M0ron, you prolly are also dyslexic. My advice is for you to understand what you read before rushing off to make a mockery of yourself. You should be ashamed of yourself. ![]() Fhucking imp! ![]() |

Okija_juju: [font=Comic Sans Ms][color=#990000]I was gonna curse you out.. But whats the point?! Its takes alot more than youve got to know the difference between sentiments and objectivity. You may wanna go back, read that story and now try to imagine what actually happened. Dont forget that this version is from the victim and she would always make herself appear blameless. That also dosent mean I justify her being beaten.. If you had calmly read my earlier post, you would have noticed it.Obviously you don't have a job, a girlfriend, a family, anything at all to distract you. I heard this story the very day it happened. I do not know the woman on a personal level but I do know her. Her story is exactly what I was told. I am not judging from internet story and so not sentimental. Please go get a life, hire a sex worker if need be. |

You heard the same story does not make it the true story. What a numb skull. Your Herpes you got from pros'titutes is prolly eating up your brain cells. Im glad I am yet to get a life, sadly yours is coming to an end. |
| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by Nobody: 11:17am On Aug 10, 2012 |
Okija_juju: Bloody w'anker!When elements of lies start getting into a story, variation occur. You should have been wise enough to know an eye witness told me. Being foul mouthed changes nothing, dude, you need help. If you need a job I could help....no wait...not a raving m. ad dog like you. Don't want any of my friends infected with rabbies ![]() |

| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by Nobody: 11:30am On Aug 10, 2012 |
Okija_juju: Now everybody knows somebody who was there when it happened..Will you slap yourself if I upload pictures of the shop today? This was how the bombed mosque case was argued with me, what I saw, somebody in some other place will be arguing with me based on internet info and ego thinking its rationality. |
| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by Okijajuju1(m): 11:33am On Aug 10, 2012 |
blink182: Will you slap yourself if I upload pictures of the shop today?Nobody is in doubt that the store or shop was trashed by the Navy!! But pictures wouldnt hurt either. Dude, I dont think a man would lose his mind like that over a simple scenario such as was described in the story. Its hard to accept. |
| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by Nobody: 11:40am On Aug 10, 2012 |
Okija_juju: Nobody is in doubt that the store or shop was trashed by the Navy!! But pictures wouldnt hurt either.Yeah its hard to accept but that seems to be the only story flying around town. So many people can not be wrong. |

Okija_juju: Nobody is in doubt that the store or shop was trashed by the Navy!! But pictures wouldnt hurt either.In other words she deserved what she got or somehow provoked it. Did the Igbos deserve what they got it 1967 or somehow provoke it. Is it hard to accept that the rampaging abokis lost their minds if they had any to start with ![]() |
| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by wizzmc: 11:43am On Aug 10, 2012 |
Naval officers are not know for such inhuman practices like this. t came as a surprise to hear. However, the matter should be investigated with all seriousness. Who knows? they might not be what they claim to be!!. ndukwejoe: The woman in the picture is MRS. EVELYN WILKIE, the owner of "MEZ 20" an eatery in Sapele. About 3 weeks ago one Sunday evening at about 9.00pm, a couple walked into the eatery and asked to be served food and the man warned the attendant not to sell soured soup to them in the full glare of other customers. MRS. WILKIE answered that she does not sell soured food as the place is a decent place. |

| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by Nobody: 12:06pm On Aug 10, 2012 |
Okija_juju: You'll be shocked how fast a lie can spread.I don't really care if it's a lie or not but one thing I know is, this is the only or rather the predominant story in town. One thing you should know also is, when the officers came back after reinforcing, they broke into the shop to attack the woman and her helpers. Even if the woman insulted them in the first instance, it is not enough reason to do what they did. It is plain wickedness. |
| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by mapet: 12:16pm On Aug 10, 2012 |
This is a case of what is expedient, IMO. I do not disagree with your point at all and I empathize with the woman. I know a lot about the military. My immediate Senior brother is an officer in the Army. I know what they are capable of and what the limits are as well. These guys are at best Naval Ratings. A Naval officer will not condisend so low, to go and bring other ratings becos of a beer parlour fight. These ratings are near illiterates. The damage would have been done, even before officers can control them We definitely will fight this ills, the rule of law crusade will never extinguish; but not at the expense of threat to life if we can avoid it. I have learnt to deal with situations like the aribisala0: Your words are wise but not everyone is the same.It is alway easy to be wise after the event. |

mapet: This is a case of what is expedient, IMO. I do not disagree with your point at all and I empathize with the woman.Well I do NOT know what your point is really so I cannot disagree with it. None of my brothers is in the Army I do not think that makes me less knowledgeable of military/civilian conflicts in Nigeria.It is irrelevant. The military are made up of humans not angels so they are capable of all human failings; lying,cheating,stealing,killing,raping etc just like ALL other humans A story or allegation has been reported. The allegation is that these individuals went to that restaurant in civilian dress and got into a fight and then went to reinforce this time returning in military dress to terrrorize civilians.We do not know if this particular allegation is true but there are far too many of these incidents and we need to find a solution as a society. No one has the facts, what we want is for the story to be investigated and any culprits if any brought to book. also rather than dealing with every new case in order to find a solution the Commander in Chief must wade in and tell their bosses enough is enough. How you deal with YOUR own life is a matter for you and goodluck with that. To suggest that everyone should adopt your approach is puzzling to me. The point here is about society,order rule of law and how this relates to the Nigerian military. As a matter of fact there is an outstanding Court Judgment agaist the Navy for stripping a women half naked and beating her(we all saw the videos),that particular judgment was issued not just against the Navy but also against an Admiral. Several times military personnel have attacked police and even police stations,LASTMA and others. Till date the Navy have not paid the court judgment. We hear of Army barracks refusing to pay electricity bills and daring NEPA to disconnect them. What we want to see is a situation where that trend is arrested and changed. Conflict will always happen in human life and our miltary CANNOT use their status to resolve personal conflicts. Do they not have military in Germany or the US or UK do they ever attack police or civilians. The truth is they got away with this for long under military governments and they need reorientation to learn that this is no longer acceptable |

| Re: Naval Brutality At Sapele by ocheejemb: 2:17pm On Aug 10, 2012 |
I hope she gets justice. Its really sad the way people like this Okija fellow reason, especially as he is obviously well educated and exposed and articulates his thoughts so well. If people who are meant to be making critical decisons also reason in such a way, then we know why we have so many issues in this country. Crimes are committed everyday, but to suggest not investigating them because the perpatrator's didnt leave their names, ranks, addresses, maybe you want thier Facebook profiles and birth certificates as well,) is just very sad. I hope that whoever is charged with investigating this does not share this kind of point of view and takes it very seriously. If the woman has been identified then she should be forced to divulge the identities of the others. They should all be stripped of whatever rubbish positions they think they have and sent to prison for assault and attempted murder. |
