This decision by GEJ has been a long time coming! Finally he is trying to show us that he has a set of balls! No one is bigger than the nation! Good luck mr. President. We all support you!

Well, a committee will be set up to look into dat.

slimghost: Good news

i agree with you my Ghost Brother, and more over this is long over due.

What happened to an earlier State of Emergency declared last year in Borno and environs? Why the need for a State of Emergency piled atop an existing State of Emergency still active in the region?

Long overdue.....military rulers should have replaced the civilian governors sef

For the first time, Jona was fuming on TV.
Seems like he has gotten tired of petting enemies of Nigeria.

An eye for an eye!

Now, those greedy govs should make way for some young colonels to cut a faction of the cake.

just call on obasanjo or somebody who isnt shackled by voodoo sentimental ties and stop forming i can handle here.

we all know this matter has passed be careful.

Long live Jonathan
Long live Nigeria
Long live Imo state

He needed to grow a pair and he just did even though its been long overdue.

he just did what?

I see the hammer descending on few other states down south. Only this time, the governor(s) will not be lucky enough to retain their jobs.

Where u put ur head before Jonathan n let the battle start

You read papers once in a blue moon. I'm surprised you are not aware of what is happening in the country.

It seems like Jonathan is beginning to grow ballz the size of a Soccer, he has being too lotic for so long I was beginning to imagine if he is comatose like a certain Yar'adua of yesterday. Let the people feel the full brunt of this Military swap so that next time, sympathizers of these wild dogs in those states like LACASA of nairaland will know who is BOSS!
I like this, to all those Boko-Haram sympathizers, this is your "FRESH_AIR"

you are the president...do what you think is the best

Am only in support of this because am tired of hearing people die almost on daily basis. If this will bring an end to Boko haram, so be it!

While at it, he should make sure to train extensively our security people, and I think this is the period to really invest on security devices, etc. No be only to collect egunje and to beat innocent civilians our security men go sabi.

And how is it a state of emergency when the governors would still be in control? I don't get

State of emergency isn't enough borno and yobe needs aerial bombardment

babyosisi: Can somebody intelligent explain to me what it means in practical terms

Wetin he mean be say, Military don den in charge for them mentioned states, they now v a military administrator in charge of the state instead of Governors.

Very good! Martial law is what befits those people.

What does state of emergency mean

Nobody knows?
