[size=14pt]MEND’s Threat: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan[/size] Tuesday, 12 October 2010 23:58 Iyobosa Uwugiaren And Golu Timothy Abuja .President Goodluck Jonathan has reiterated his promise that the Federal Government would no longer allow some criminal-minded persons to hide underneath the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) to perpetrate heinous crimes. The president, who spoke last night through his spokesman, Mr. Ima Niboro on his arrival from Sokoto and Zamfara states, said his trip to the two states was successful in spite of the MEND's threat. "The president just returned from Zamfara and Sokoto states. It was successful and incident-free, in spite of the bomb threats by MEND," Mr. Niboro stated in a statement last night,"But these threats bring to focus the president's position that no one must hide underneath MEND to perpetrate evil. This is even more so since the MEND known to Nigerians has willingly renounced violence. "So which MEND was this? The Zamfara variant? This nonsense must stop, and this is precisely the president's position." Meanwhile, the president has commended the Sultan of Sokoto Alhaji Sa'ad Abubakar for his exemplary leadership and contributions to peace in Nigeria. Speaking yesterday during a courtesy call on the Sultan, as part of his official visit to Sokoto and Zamfara states, the president noted that the Sultan's contributions are exemplary and that he has been acknowledged worldwide as a man of peace. President Jonathan assured the Sultan that his administration is committed to taking Nigeria to greater heights so that, by its centennial celebrations, Nigerians will have a country all can be proud of. "We are determined to give the required leadership. This is our only country, we have no other one; so we must reposition it to attain great heights," he said. He commiserated with the Sultan over the floods which ravaged sections of Sokoto and Kebbi states, and said that the Federal Government has given and will continue to give major assistance to alleviate the situation. In his remarks, Sultan Abubakar commended the president for successfully steering the ship of state so far. He stated that, as a religious and traditional ruler, he is committed to doing what is right, and would not deviate from the path. The Sultan later presented the president a white horse as a royal gift on behalf of himself and the sultanate. Earlier, the president was conferred with the traditional title of "Santuraki Talata Mafara", by the Emir of Talata Mafara, Zamfara State, Muhammadu Bello Barmo. The president was honoured just before he commissioned the 132/33 KVA transmission substation located in the community. At the commissioning, President Jonathan praised the efforts of the local contractor, noting that government is committed to encouraging local contractors. He disclosed that, from the next fiscal year, the Federal Government would set aside a percentage of contracts dedicated to local contractors. "This the only way we can improve capacity and grow our economy," he said. http://www.leadershipeditors.com/ns/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17285:mends-threat-this-nonsense-must-stop--jonathan&catid=51:cover-stories&Itemid=101 |

Ok! I think G I Joe needs to talk less or better still quit talking altogether. Is he trying to become MEND's spokes person by force? na wa ooo. Dude, just relax mein! |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Beaf: 11:31pm On Oct 13, 2010 |
OMO IBO: So, there is a bomb threat in Zamfara and your advice is that the President should keep quiet? ![]() I really don't get you point. |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Nobody: 11:35pm On Oct 13, 2010 |
Beaf: Somebody remind me, when did this ever take place? ![]() |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Nobody: 11:51pm On Oct 13, 2010 |
Beaf:C'mon now, Dude has been doing a whole lot of talking. His continuous shielding of MEND is unbecoming. . . .Even an unborn child knows he believes MEND has nothing to do with it. He can at least let the security operatives get on with the business of finding who is behind the attrocities rather than point them in the direction of a certain group or person(s) |

What happened to Jomo Gbomo, the official spokesman for MEND? Or is he the same person as Henry Okah? If the latter is true, that may explain his sudden silence. |

IN fact, he should exnorate Boko Baram from the killing of Bauchi People ![]() |

So shut your mouth Sir,and make it stop , ![]() ![]() |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by IbroYaya: 12:47am On Oct 14, 2010 |
excanny: Thats very true! Why the sudden silence of Jomo Gbomo? He suppose to be speaking by now to clear the air. I am beginning to suspect Okah well. |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Beaf: 12:55am On Oct 14, 2010 |
OMO IBO: Do you realise there was a bomb threat by a group claiming to be MEND in Zamfara state? I don't see how condemning a bomb threat purportedly from MEND amounts to "continuous shielding of MEND." Can you explain? If the man say's nothing, you guy's will be the first to jump up and scream that Zamfara people don't matter. |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Beaf: 1:04am On Oct 14, 2010 |
xterra2: Dude, you have more sense than this na. ![]() If a group claiming to be Boko Haram were to go and set off bombs at the governornment house in Enugu. The President will be correct to call it terrorism by a group masquerading as Boko haram. Its simple really! ![]() MEND has never operated outside of creeks and waterways, Boko Haram has never operated outside Muslim and Savanah areas. Simple as ABC. |

@ Beaf, if you are an adult, then u certainly had no childhood. I can buy you some toys if u let me know where u are |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Beaf: 3:48am On Oct 14, 2010 |
jabbok: Maybe your constant dreaming about toys is what leads you to make foolish comments without fail? I mean, dude, you can at least make an attempt to think sometimes, can't you? It can't be that difficult. Nobody likes braindead oneliners, if they aren't funny and they are all a guy seems to have. I'm sure there's a bright kid in you, let him out. |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Nobody: 9:07am On Oct 14, 2010 |
Beaf:Anybody who dares to ask question about your GEJ is termed foolish and terrorist. You and your paymasters have indeed shown us how Nigerians will fare when Jonathan bulldozes his way back to Aso rock. |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Nobody: 9:14am On Oct 14, 2010 |
Beaf:Listen, I am on your side and I see where you are coming from. GEJ should've kept his comment short and avoided pointing fingers. We all know he supports MEND. There is no need to go over it again and again. . . . .it gets wordy, boring and maybe annoying. Regarding his continuous shielding of MEND, c'mon now, you dont need me to pull out posts to prove that. or do you? All i'm saying is GEJ needs to talk less. His views should be generic at best. Let the security operatives do their jobs. |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by globalaid(m): 10:37am On Oct 14, 2010 |
i think that is commendable. It is time we encourage our local contractors in order to grow our economy, on this i support you GEJ and you are on right track. |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by Nobody: 10:40am On Oct 14, 2010 |
Beaf: One would have expected this statement to be coming from MEND themselves, not our almighty President! What is he now? Their spokes-person ![]() ![]() How about he shows as much solidarity for the people he's supposed to be leading instead of going on a campaign trail around the country with public funds defending a known terrorist group! Sheesh GEJ, you are slowly losing it! ![]() |
Re: This Nonsense Must Stop – Jonathan by xterra2(m): 4:26pm On Oct 14, 2010 |
Beaf:Yup i have more sense than this ![]() Did you ![]() And you know the meaning of the smiley right ? |
