LeoMax: He should be more strategic than this dull decision, to the eyes of Nigerians it is good. What if they buried all their weapons and fled only to return days after the emergency is lifted?? Will start another emergency? Common this isn't a solution at all. |

auwal87: Lol! You do not understand that the law has been suspended and democracy snatched away in the areas affected. Its now an "anything-goes, hit 'em phuckers with nukes" style battle. Whole communities will be uprooted, dislocated and strong armed in ways that will make Lucifer bawl out. Its not gonna be a tea party and I truly feel for those unfortunate people. They will be so pressured, traumatised, fried, put under the grinder to the extent that even if they were not hiding boko haram members they would volunteer to go out and search for them. I don't think you fully understand the storm thats cooking. |

auwal87: That's NOT true! and you know it. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by trimwis: 7:05pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
The reason GEj isn't declaring a state of emergency in entire states is because he doesn't want to sack the governors. Apparently, the political fallout would be too much for him to handle. true talk |

"It has become imperative to take some decisive measures necessary to return normalcy in the country, especially within the affected communities. . ." -- GEJ Listening to the BBC news clip just now, I detected not only an uncharacteristic pizzaz in presido's mien but also an increased sense of urgency. Let's hope this disposition signals a more hands-on approach to problem solving, eh. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by NegroNtns(m): 7:09pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
abeg who is on ground to actually confirm that the borders have been closed? oyb took word out of my mouth. Anyway, wheres the full speech, lets see it before we begin to cheer. The state of emergency might be to the advantage of bharam and you alla re cheering before digesting the full content. |

@ beaf You don't even know what a State of Emergency is, in fact most of those responding to this thread doesn't know what a State of Emergency is. It means more weapons for BH, more time for them to think and create plans, it means more recruit for them. Aghhhh, just don't know to what extent it will reach before you come back to your senses. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Nobody: 7:13pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
auwal87: enlighten us, what is State of Emergency? |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Nobody: 7:13pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
auwal87: Alhaji, State of emergency == more weapons for BH, more time for them to think and create plans, it means more recruit for them? You have this on good authority? |

Auwal87 is doing a poor job here . . . Nevertheless . . . This move might just prompt the haramite to go on a bombing rampage . . . to strengthen and prove to people they are still capable of stringing attacks . . . . .Just hope the security would be up and doing or else . . . |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by NegroNtns(m): 7:17pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Does anyone have a transcribed copy of the speech to post here please? Let all eyes see what gej is talking about if he makes sense or not. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Nobody: 7:19pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
In practical terms, it means law has been suspended in the affected areas and all measures deemed necessary whether legal or not, whether moral or not, whether cultural or not, as long as the service chiefs exercising the emergency powers on behalf of GEJ deemed it necessary, will be taken to ensure safety of lives and property. I don't know how that's a good news for Boko haram, I don't know how that's a good news for a sitting governor. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Beaf: 7:19pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
auwal87: Really? And here I was thinking that a state of emergency meant special fighting squads "cooking" stuff in the kitchens of the affected villages, helicopters dropping the odd unwanted "gift" and dangerous men from the JTF "playing" with the kids, kids playing with their extracted teeth on the floor! Dude, believe me, you are truly misunderstanding the situation. There was never ever a state of emergency declared in my beloved Warri when Tompolo was running rampant, but let Warri folk tell you their experiences, even worse, let those from Okerenkoko (the victims of the most recent military burst) give you firsthand experiences that will freeze your flesh to your bones. I really feel for the affected communities and we should all put them in prayer. |

Honestly, if I knew NL is half filled with idio.ts I would not have wasted my time signing on. If the moderators does nothing & quick too, to weed this place of jobless religiuos f.ools who sees nothing good inwhatever Mr President does, I see NL being hijacked by low class illiterates & eventually kill it. |

Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Obiagu1(m): 7:27pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
This is so funny. Everyone is jubilating and that makes me puzzled. Puzzled as to how these measures would bring an end to the crisis. He would seal the border with Niger Republic in Borno and Yobe, can't they, Boko Haram, if the are based in Niger Republic, move in to Nigeria from Katsina? If they are based in Cameroon, can't they come in through Adamawa? Some local governments will come under state of emergency rule. This is so ridiculous! What's the distance from Borno to Niger State? Everyone thought they are based in Maiduguri but they struck in Madalla, Niger State. What stops Boko Haram from striking Bauchi and Gombe? Funny country filled with funny characters! |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Nobody: 7:28pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Even if a Bomb goes off tomorrow, the President should not change tactics but even be more tougher. Nobody said a state of emergency is a magic wand and that Boko Haram will disappear all of a sudden When Americans deployed hundreds of thousands of soldiers in what is know as a surge, violence first shut up It can only get worse to get better. If boko Haram sets off another Bomb it will strengthen the President's hand even further. They should thank their star this President is not very good at PR, otherwise he could have played on every new bomb to implement tougher measures and strengthen his grip on power. Boko Haram should be careful what to wish for. A President who is a PR expert could have used this situation to influence the National assembly to remove Sharia or any traces of religion from the Nigerian constitution and outlaw it entirely so that from now onwards religion becomes an individual choice as it should and not the business of any state Government. Honestly Boko Haram should be careful what they wish for! |

he President declared state of emergency in the troubled areas in the four states, Borno, Yobe, Niger and plateau states in his Saturday afternoon,nationwide broadcast. will the dreaded spam bot eat this? |

Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by MarcAnthon(m): 7:31pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
Very good move. Exactly what we've been saying all along. He needs to treat this with an iron fist and not play politics with the lives of Nigerians. I am sceptical though about it not being the entire Borno and Yobe states, but let's just see it as a good beginning. If trouble persists in the remaining LGs he declares the whole state covered. Welldone! oyb: Don't mind the sycophant. When we were shouting about declaring a state of emergency, he kept defending his master like a puppet who cannot do otherwise. Now he can't stop cheering. Sad if this guy is a Nigerian youth. Who knows how many lives would have been saved if this declaration came a month or two earlier. |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by expert555: 7:32pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
The president must have had absolute confidence of these states governors and that they are co operating with him. I can now see the reason the president said we better get use to BK bombs. If you remember when OBJ was in power these bastards Muslim organisation treaten to unlish bombing in Nigeria if OBJ did not give Moslems plum jobs like defence, finance, ambassador to Britain, US, oil minister and the rest. I have a feeling behind close doors they are making similar demands on GEJ as a condition of stopping the bombings. So GEJ is not ready to give to their demands that is why he asking us to get used to it. I'm pretty sure most northern elites including the Sultan in backing this move to give Moslems oil minister and the rest. They are noting but parasites and cocroches that must be sent out of Nigeria. The country must be broken up so they have minister of the dessert. This retard Muslims must not be allowed to detate anything to any body because if not for the oil in the south of the country they will be as Poor as Niger and Somalia. |

The same state of emergency that was declared at Jos some years ago that produced nada? |
Re: Breaking News: GEJ Declares State of Emergency in selected LGAs in Borno, Yobe, Niger and Plateau. by Nobody: 7:39pm On Dec 31, 2011 |
But that said we need to close every border with Niger and Chad. I mean surveillance patrol. If we dont have one in place the President should start building a wired fence between Nigeria and Niger/chad and man these boarder areas tightly. Increase security checkings in every other border post in the country whether its benin republic or through bakasi. The emergency in states is good as is. The essence is the symbolism and ability to have boots on ground to monitor movements. I am satisfied with the start! |

Obiagu1: People are so desperate for good news that we're grasping at straws. Pretty much anything Jonathan does now will be better that what he's been doing for the past year which is scratching his ynash and making rètarded statements. |

mikeansy: It will be impossible to close our borders and make them airtight, even the US has immense problems with keeping Mexicans out. Closing the borders would be ineffective against a determined foe, and would slow them down at best; except we build a huge wall manned by snipers like Israel and East Germany did. I don't think we can afford to go down that route though, if we ever need to do that then quick incursions into Chad, Niger and Cameroun would be more feasible; it would tell those govts to manage those coming through for their own good. But its a good start all the same. |
