I don't think anything can save Nigeria from these lockups, because there are pockets of extreme ethnic bigotry that make the Presidents security a matter to be taken very seriously.

We shouldn't be too quick to forget how he was openly warned that he would be shot by snipers if he laid the wreath for the unknown soldier. He braved it, but that shouldn't happen everyday. So until some Nigerians stop the shocking displays of ethnic hatred, we will continue to have our airspace closed.

Your comments always reek of someone on some high drug. I thought your benefactor Jonathan is loved by everyone. A man loved by all should be able to mix freely amongst his s called people na. Obviously your benefactor is not as popular as you and your ilks have been claiming spamming NL with gabbage.

FACE:

Shutting down the air space because of presidential movement (if that was the case)was an extreme and callous measure, which GEJ might not have been aware of or if he was aware of that , shows lack of good judgement on his part.

Shutting down an air space without warning could lead to loss of lives and heavy economic losses. Reports show that most air crashes are a result of human error.

I also support  GEJ, but it becomes a tough job at times to defend some issues surrounding him, don't you think so ?

temmytanny:

dat was how we spent 4hours standstill in VI when he came to launch a book in january. Even when clinton visited Naija years back,there were free movement. This isnt good at all,

9ijaMan:

It's obvious that the GEJ you are supporting does not give a hoot about what happens to you. Your support for such a leader will only perpetuate this tyranny. Your support for GEJ will definitely make us to continue to go through many more shut downs and the type of sacrilege witnessed by the whole world yesterday when  our Government put a rubber stamp on corruption. How else can any one in his sane mind explain the grand reception given to Bode George, a felon, after he got out of jail yesterday.

You haven't seen anything yet o! Many more shutdowns are coming our way if we allow this tyranny to continue.

Shine your eyes and don't throw the future of Nigeria and your generations unborn into the hands of PDP.

Vigilante:

@Beaf, you have surpassed Ciroma and co in playing this ethnic card. Is it bosom for tat?  

9ijaMan:

Abeg ignore the dolt of a guy. He's earning a living typing all those thrash. Beaf na political jobber working for team GEJ who's sole job is to remain online 24/7 to spam NL with bigoted comments and outright falsehood. Just pretend he does not exist.

Even though Oshiomhole refused to speak on the incident, other embarrassed and enraged passengers, who spoke to The Sun condemned the tyrannical practice of shutting down the airspace in the guise of VIP movement.


John, a chattered accountant, who was on the flight said: “This kind of uncivilised behaviour must stop. We are not in the jungle. How can you shut down the airspace because the president, vice-president, senate president or speaker of the House is airborne? What if we had run out of fuel and had a crash? Is the president’s life more precious than that of the ordinary citizen? What kind of oppression by man against his fellow man is this? This nonsense cannot continue.”


Another passenger, who preferred anonymity, said: “It is only in this country you have this kind of behaviour. What if we had had a crash? God forbid. I was terribly scared.

“The president must apologise for this uncivilised conduct. We are tired of government officials behaving as if they are more important than the people who put them there. They just behave like emperors. It is a shame!”

Gbawe:

Ha ha ha ha .  An accidental opportunist behaving in an anti-people manner ? What else is new ? The like of Fashola are baning the use of siren and deliberately moving away from practices that intimidate the electorate and make like difficult for the average man yet all we get from GEJ is "more of the same" emperor posturing . Is it not this same President that saw a taxi driver languishing in jail for over three months because he "crashed" into the convoy of Mr. President when it was most likely the incompetence of Jonathan's  security details that were at fault in the first place?  Nothing is random with GEJ. All we see are indicators of a President , possibly very callous , who is not bothered about the plight of others. Below is the link to the Taxi driver thread when I stated that Jonathan is at ease with dictatorial behaviour:

one mopol:

My friend be real here. What has actually changed in Lagos since fashola banned the use of sirens? Where are the ones that still daily harrass us on Lagos roads come from?

hercules07:

@omo mopol

The people that use siren are from other states or police men or ambulance or military commanders who feel that they are not under Fashola, I have been with Fashola in a traffic situation and no siren was blown.

Gbawe:

Well, by your reasoning leaders should simply not bother then. They should just carry on bullying the populace as shamefully as those before them did because "what will actually change"? All it takes for evil to thrive is for a few good men to do nothing. Change will not come in a day but little actions , from genuinely sincere and competent leaders, will move us towards civility in the end. I remember a friend who had been abroad for a long time visiting Lagos last after ten years last year. He could not believe the orderly queues for the BRT and the better general conducts of Lagosians. I explained Fashola's leadership principles and policies to him . In the end we both concluded that if leadership is aware, civilised and responsible the same trickles down to the populace in the end.

one mopol:


I simply asked what has changed and you came up with this epistle. Save your sermon please. Is it a law just for the pages of the Newspaper or to just look good? If things are done properly there must be sanctions for offenders and visible signs of massive ipmrovement.
