[size=15pt]ACN calls for national security summit[/size]

By Tajudeen Adebanjo

   
The Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to urgently summon a national security summit to give stakeholders a forum to proffer solutions to the incessant bombings now ravaging the country, saying the problem should be treated as a national emergency.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in reaction to the latest spate of bombings in Abuja, Bauchi and Zaria that left many dead and injured, the party said such a summit should involve all those who have positive contributions to make to end the epidemic of explosions, irrespective of their political leaning.


ACN said it has become obvious that the government alone cannot stop the explosions, which have left hundreds of innocent Nigerians dead or maimed, and which risks scaring away foreign investors [/b]at a time the federal government says it is embarking on a journey to transform the country in all spheres.

"After every bomb attack, [b]the government will vow to get the culprits and punish them. Then more explosions will occur and the government will repeat its vow. This is not reassuring to the people of Nigeria as well as foreigners who may want to do business in the country.



"Therefore, it is now clear that, in spite of its best efforts, the government alone cannot stop the bombers. It is time for all patriots to all put heads together to identify the culprits and their grievances, and seek the way forward,’’ it said.

The party observed that the way the explosions went off on the outskirts of Abuja as well as in Zaria and Bauchi, shortly after the inauguration of President Jonathan, shows that the only reason the inauguration itself was spared was because of the lock-down of Abuja and the shutdown of telecommunications services as part of stringent security measures put in place during the ceremony.


"But what happens now that the lock down of Abuja has been lifted and telecoms services restored? Is it not worrisome that those behind the explosions have continued to target public institutions and security agencies? Is it not becoming clear that these terrorists can now strike at a place and time of their own choosing, if they can detonate explosives in such high-security areas as military barracks?’’ ACN queried.

ACN has always been a forward thinking party. It is a party that has the interest of the nation at heart. It is the kind of party that challenges the ruling party to perform better and has often offered constructive suggestions aimed at nation building.

CPC on the other hand would never make a statement such as this. They would prefer to point fingers and make meaningless statements.

The time to act is now. As ACN rightly put it, all stakeholders from every part of the country have to be involved. All hands must be on deck. We must remove the little cancerous lump now so we don't have to cut off the entire bosom later.

We are not going anywhere until we get rid of GEJ and the rest of the incompetent dullards in power.

GEJ's idea of bringing criminals and murderers to justice is setting up committees and enquiry panels all over the place. dude is just grossly weak and incompetent.

‚‚GEJ's idea of stopping criminality is sendind criminals abroad for trainning and retrainning how nice. When those militants gets back, this situation will get worse

This is very welcome. I will like to see ACN now push forward as an alternative party. They must see themsleves as string opposition there to keep the government in check and call for necessary changes.

No prospective investor would take us seriously

Trust ACN to hit a dog when its down grin they are not without their own ills - lest we forget. True GEJ will sooner wear new shoes than solve Nigeria's problems. It is not up to ACN alone, we (the people) must begin to know our rights and demand them
Re: ACN Calls For National Security Summit, Bombings Risk Scaring Away Investors-ACN by joeyfire(m): 7:31pm On Jun 01, 2011
Now thats the beauty of opposition. GEJ should grow some cojones for crying out loud and stand up to the p.r.i.c.k.s behind the chaos. I was starting to wonder if it wasnt obvious that nigeria was looking more and more like iraq. Up ACN for speaking out

Bombings and all kinds of vices in nigeria are consequences of a failed state that has been totally destroyed by the monumental  federal looting and institutionalisation of corruption by the two axis of exil tribes that have misruled and plundered the nation since independence.

Because of the collosal looting of over $2 Trillion dollars (greatest executive robbery in human history) by the two axis of evil  tribes (biggest thieves on the planet) which has put nigeria on the winners list as the most corrupt country in the world, there is no electricity, no roads, no pipe borne water, no national airline, no railway line, education has collapsed, no functional hospitals, there is mass poverty and mass unemployment. The situation is so bad that even though nigeria is the sixth largest oil producer in the world, nigeria still imports fuel.

As a consequence millions of nigerians are suffering from total indignity and deprivation. Millions have died from road accidents induced by bad roads, millions have died from minor treatable diseases as a result of dysfunctional hospitals, millions have died from malnutrition and dirty water, millions have died from poverty, millions have fled the nation to become refugees abroad, millions are forced into prostitution and doing all kinds of hustling to survive at home and abroad. The skeletons of thousands of nigerians who have died crossing the desert to libya and morrocco litter the desert routes just as thousands more have drowned crossing the sea from libya or morrocco to Europe.

This is the price of decades of bad leadership and the bombings and other social vices is a direct consequence of the reality of nigeria as a failed state. We cannot live in a nation where corruption has been institutionalised and where leaders are looting billions without any consequence on a daily basis and expect the nation to be peaceful. Only a fool will expect to destroy his nation and get peace.

Nigerians should know the truth and the cause of their predicanment.The two axis  of evil tribes that destroyed the nation must take responsibility for their crimes against humanity  and begin to work for good governance across the nation or there will be more bombings and carnage in the very near future and no where will be safe. This is just the beginning.

From the first time i came to the internet, i noticed a bunch of cowardly scoundrels were busy poisoning every website with the bigotry and tribalism that runs in their bloodstream, and nairaland has become one of their headquaters where the primitive apes trade their wares of ignorance.

I think nairaland should be scrapped because it serves no purpose other than being an outlet where cowardly scoundrels use fake handles to pollute the space. I have gone through threads in nairaland and none of them really makes any sense beyond giving an opportunity to the usual hypocrites and cowardly loudmouths to masturbate their sadism.

Nigeria is a nation that has been totally destroyed by the axis of evil ruling tribes that plundered the nation beyond recognition. Sites like nairaland would be better off as a website that acts as a pressure group campaigning for change in nigeria rather than being an avenue for gossip worthless threads and a large collection of internet scoundrels that pollute the place.

In Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen and others the internet social media was used to inspire a revolt against their leaders but in nigerian websites like nairaland and the internet social media is used for gossip threads of useless issues and serves as an outlet for good for nothing ignorant scoundrels to pollute the place with their bigotry.

Nairaland should be scrapped as it serves no purpose as presently operated or alternatively be re-organised to concentrate on being a pressure group to campaign for change in nigera by publishing only socio-political issues including press releases and a periodic editorial targetted at the government.

The method of registration for comments that allows anonymous scoundrels to invade their place with their ignorance and bigotry should also be modified. Registrations should henceforth be with full names and should be linked with a facebook handle that must have the photo of the person. Many websites already operate their comments page only through facebook links. Linking registrations with facebook will weed out the cowardly scoundrels who pollute every website with their bigotry as such cowardly urchins cannot face the real world in their own skin. They can only hide behind fake handles to masturbate their monkey lives.

This is my candid advice to make nairaland a better and more civilised goals oriented website for social change rather than the gossip oriented and scoundrel infested website it is today.

Nairaland is more than a site for "political gossip". It has many other purposes beyond what you currently know. You may need to visit other sections (Autos, Jokes, Family, Games, Jobs, Technology, Properties, Sports, etc) in order to appreciate the potentials of this site. I get informed and entertained anytime I log on to nairaland. You may just need to sieve through, pick what you like and leave the rest.

O thou holy poster, since you do not like the anonymity and freedom of speech this site offers, can you lead the way by telling us your full name and providing a link to your facebook page. Also upload your picture in your profile.

There are many other posters who do not like the tribalism being displayed by some but that is not enough to run down the site.

@efisher:

freedom of speech cannot come at the expense of civility. There is a limit to freedom of speech and nairaland should not allow faceless cowardly scoundrels run around and defecate their nuisance here as they do in other sites. Every serious website regulates the registration of its members to weed out such internet scoundrels.

Internet scoundrels are by nature cowards who cannot face the world in their true skin and as soon as nairaland links its registration to facebook with a picture, those primitive apes whose worthless lives revolve only around bigotry with fake handles on the internet will flee into their dark covens to nest with the devil leaving civilised people to comment objectively on issues here.

As soon as nairaland modifies its registration mode to facebook links, i will be one of the first to register.
