[quote author=DICKtator]Jonathan Imposes State of Emergency on Boko Haram States

Very good move presido, u 4 don do dis 1 since sha.

The only thing i can say is for Biafrans and youth corpers serving in the whole 19 northern states to be vigilant for possible riots. The opposition and the northern elders will/might view this act as a declaration of war.

This should have been done long time ago. Anyway, its better late than never

Well done mr. Presido but it took u so long. Anyway beta late than neva

I don't know why GEJ skipped some of these islamist Yoruba state?

GEJ has just won the heart of millions of Nigerians. I like his boldness, that is what we've been missing from a real Bayelsan. Never take a quiet man for a fool. If 2015 election were to be held next week, it would have been a landslide victory for GEJ. Proud of my president once again.

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

Jonathan is confused. Mumbo jombo.

About time,it took killing of Government officials to do this when over two thousand Civilians are dead

One of the best decision taking so far ...

Good move Bro J!

Sounds like a good decision from President Jonathan. I hope the root causes and perpetrators of BH terrorism are totally annihilated. Every BH sponsor and fanatic must fall down and die IJN, AMEN!

This president is as confused as a blind bat in a market square.

Ogbuefi_Negro: 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?

the state of emergency was declared in some parts of borno and not entire borno

Long awaited decision.
Long live GEJ
Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria

You are scared cos soldiers are coming after you people, the game is up.

The state of emergency is long overdue..... But I thought once there is state of emergency the governors of the affected states will not perform there duties again... How come Mr. PRESIDENT said they will continue carrying out their functions? Someone should please educate me

ii hav been waiting for this for a long time..those boko haram will know the differnce btw millitary and civilian,if those soldiers catch them they will know the defference btw Ocean and water..let millitary take over Nigeria na...

Growing some b/a/lls...

Why declare state of emergency in Adamawa?
I smell something there,the president doesn't want it to look political
Borno and Yobe are controlled by opposition parties hence he was looking for a scapegoat (PDP controlled state) to partially balance it politically.He found the scapegoat in Adamawa.

Good job Jona

A state of emergency is a situation in which the Nigerian president suspends the regular executive and legislative functions of a state in Naija. Therefore, the governors of the aforementioned states and the State Houses of Assembly have been put on suspension. It's likely that GEJ will appoint an administrator to run those states temporarily.

He iz a lead, a president n d respecter of d rule of law. I admire his leadership amongst most nigrian presidents. May God giv him d wisdom to discharge his duties witout fear or favor.
U r nt walkn alone in 2015.

Can the APC visiting governors repeat their feat in Bornu or any of the afore mentioned states now? Their people needs them now more than ever.
