I believe asari and some members of mend are muslims who were trained by IBB and co in yemen along with boko haram members for the purpose of islamizing Nigeria. They are indirectly working hand in hand with boko haram to bring down the government of Jonathan. If Yaradua or a muslim was there, they would not be bombing. I learnt that before Mend starts any meeting, they always observe some minuits of silence for the dead Yaradua. I can see the hand writing of IBB written all over Nigeria. Imagin Mend calling Jonathan a slow poke. This can never happen in the north. Not even Boko haram can raise their mouth against the worst muslim ruler from the north.

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas was furious with ref Howard Webb after their 3-3 draw against Manchester United.

Villas-Boas blasted Webb for giving United a second penalty for a dubious foul from Branislav Ivanovic on Danny Welbeck in the box.

Villas-Boas claims Webb's decisions changed the course of the game as Chelsea were cruising towards a crucial victory before the two penalties were given against them.

"The second penalty was very, very dubious," Villas-Boas said.

"I don't know if Howard Webb had the correct angle to make the decision, maybe the linesman made the decision but it was very unlucky from him to give it.

"I'm not sure if he was compensating from anything in the first half, but it was the wrong decision.

"It was a big disappointment, generally, on the way it happened.

"(It was) a dubious decision that, in the end, shifted the running of the game.

"We expect in top games to have top refs and at the moment it hasn't been happening for us."

It is the second time that Villas-Boas has felt key decisions have gone against his team when they have played United this season.

The Portuguese was furious when two offside goals were allowed to stand in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford - which the Blues lost 3-1.

"In both games against United with top, top refs, you expect it to be perfect in terms of refereeing.

"In these two games, they have had a direct influence on the result."

jerk:
I don't know why blame Howard webb,  the penalties might be soft but at the end of the day, they were clearly a foul. It just happened to be inside the box thats all.
every chelsea fan who says webb was against chelsea, what about when u (chelsea) played against tottetnham webb won the game and his company, so dont complain u got what u deserve
It's funny how you people watch your football! Though this present Chelsea is a terrible team, yesterday's match

was obviously biased! You don't need a sorcerer to tell you that!

Nothing unusual with the devils though!

CrimeNdlea Arrests Man With Drugs Stuffed Inside Tin Tomato by baslone(op): 12:36pm On Feb 02, 2012
A 26-year-old  man has been arrested  by the National Drug Law Enforcement
Agency, NDLEA,  for alleged drug trafficking.  The suspect, identified as Nzeka Chika,
who was heading to Malaysia, was caught  with over 1.800kg of methamphetamine
worth over N5 million, stuffed into tin tomatoes at the Murtala Mohammed International
Airport, MMIA, Ikeja, Lagos.


The suspect  who claimed to be ignorant of death sentence for drug offenders in Malaysia
is being interrogated by anti-narcotic agents over unlawful exportation of  the drugs.   Officers
of the agency  who  made the arrest at the weekend following the discovery of drugs inside
tomato paste at Lagos, Nigeria, said the suspect is cooperating with investigators.


According to a source, the drug  which was  industrially packaged in two big tin tomato
containers, clothes and foodstuff was detected during the outward screening of an Egypt Air
flight to Malaysia at the Lagos airport . NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr. Hamza Umar who gave
the name of the suspect, as Nzeka Chika, a commercial motorcycle rider in Okigwe, Imo State
said he was still under interrogation.


“The two big tin tomato pastes with 1.8kg of methamphetamine were in Nzeka’s bag
containing clothes and foodstuff like yams, rice, beans, garri and spaghetti. The food
items were meant to distract officers from the tomato pastes” Hamza stated.



Similarly, NDLEA operatives at the Lagos State Command arrested a drug peddler,
identified as Yomi Kito.  Sources said the   arrest was affected after a raid at the
notorious drug enclave of Akala Mushin, Lagos last Saturday.


Residents of the area who applauded the agency after the arrest urged them to
carry out more of such raids.   A resident, who  craved  for anonymity over fear of
reprisal told Crime Alert,  “We have suffered a lot of insecurity  from  the presence
of these hoodlums smoking Indian hemp around this area for a long time and security
agents have been insensitive to their presence. We want them to do this often so
that they can make this area unattractive for drug users.”

alj harem:
you don't kill people just because they killed 6 police officers

the best he could have done was to arrest those people that killed the man

the reason why OBJ sent soldiers to ODI was different from the 6 police officer

1. They killed a soldier and as an ex-military man. he got angry. He did not order the killing of anyone but sent soldiers there to claim things down. apprently the soldiers had other movtive

2. Odi village was harbouring militants and indeed militancy started from there. they he sent soldiers there to contain the situation

Now there is no justification to kill people. he should have investigated the soldiers that killed the people and bring them to book.

It is a stain to his record and thus he has to account for it
Sheyguy is not to far away from the truth, after-all not to long ago - a lot of people saw nothing wrong in the

killing of innocents by soldiers in Borno just before BH took their game to the next level.

What's the difference? According to them, it was referred to as COLLATERAL DAMAGE!!!!!!

PoliticsRe: Al-Mustapha Is Innocent - Fani Kayode by baslone: 1:02pm On Jan 31, 2012
Why I'm not celebrating Al-Mustapha's conviction By Femi Fani-Kayode


As far as I am concerned, based on the evidence that was adduced in court, this man
had absolutely nothing to do with the killing of Kudirat Abiola


When I heard that Major Hamza Al Mustapha was convicted of murder and sentenced to
hanging by a Lagos High Court yesterday afternoon I was utterly shocked, saddened and
disgusted. And let me tell you why. I was one of those that opposed the late General Sani
Abacha's government and fought against Al Mustapha and co. with every fibre of my being
during the NADECO days.


Given that, if anything, I should have been rejoicing with the many other NADECO leaders,
supporters and stalwarts who honestly believe that Al-Mustapha actually ordered the death
of our wonderful heroine Alhaja Kudirat Abiola and who believe that he deserves to die as a
consequence of it.


However I am not rejoicing with them simply because as far as I am concerned, based on
the evidence that was adduced in court, this man had absolutely nothing to do with the killing
of Kudirat Abiola.


I believe that whatever we do we must always operate within the law and there is no place
for the expression of unfettered emotions, vendetta or jungle justice in a civilised country when
it comes to the administration of justice. I have been following this case closely for the last four
years and I have publicly called for the release of Al Mustapha on a number of occasions simply
because I found it shameful and unjust that the state could lock up a man in a dungeon for 13
years without being able to prove a case against him.


By doing that, they have already almost ruined his life yet there is a presumption of innocenc
in our law. Now the state has gone even a step further in this whole unsavoury and disgraceful
episode and they have convicted a man to hang for something that he knew nothing about
simply because they want to silence him and stop him from exposing the truth about the role
that many of the high and mighty played in the death of Abacha, MKO Abiola and many others.


They want to jail and kill Mustapha just as they have jailed and killed so many other innocent
men that came before him. Let me make this clear- I hold no brief and I have no sympathy
whatsoever for the Abacha government that Al-Mustapha served and neither do I seek to
defend their actions whilst in office.


The truth is that they committed many atrocities and till today many find it hard to forgive them
for those atrocities. Many of our people in the south-west were killed, locked up and driven into
exile by that government as was the late General Shehu Musa Yar'adua and many others from
other parts of Nigeria.


I myself had to leave the country and go into exile in Ghana in 1996 because of them and I
never thought that I would ever return to Nigeria again. Yet, despite all that, I cannot allow
my bitterness and anger with the Abacha regime to becloud my reasoning and sense of justice
that I would support or applaud a case of what would essentially be judicial murder.


Yes Abacha's government and even Mustapha himself, as a consequence of his unflinching loyalty
to his boss, committed atrocities and violated the rights of many but does that mean that we should
do the same to them? Do two wrongs make a right? Are we all to descend into the pit of slaying the
innocent and punishing their families simply because we must have our pound of flesh and even where
there is no tangible evidence to justify such a course of action? I challenge those that doubt me to look
at the evidence and to study the judgement closely as I have done.


It is wickedness and it is a travesty of justice. Worse still it sends the wrong signal to an already
tense nation that is fraught with regional, north/south and christian/muslim tensions. This absurd
judgement could not have come at a worse time and I have little doubt that the Boko Haramites
amongs us (whether it be the overt or covert ones) will make quite a song and dance of it.


Thankfully Al Mustapha has the right to appeal but the implication of that is that this man's enemies
have virtually destroyed his life already and left him with no hope because, unless he is granted bail
pending that appeal, he will be struggling with it from the dingy dungeons of Kirikiri prison all the
way to the Supreme Court for the next ten years. That is the Nigerian state and ''system'' for you.


When you are loyal to your leader, when you speak out in his defence, when you defend him with
your life and when you tell the world the truth they come at you with everything that they have got
and seek to jail or kill you for it once that leader is no longer in power or is no longer alive. One thing
is clear though- those that seek to hang Al Mustapha and silence him forever have forgotten the God
factor.


They have forgotten that there is a God of justice and mercy who still rules in the affairs
of men and who forges the destiny of nations.


For my old adversary and new friend Major Hamza Al Mustapha I will not beg any mortal
for mercy and neither will I plead for him. I will only pray to the Living God that if truly this
man is innocent, as I earnestly and honestly believe that he is, then he should be eventually
freed and completely vindicated. This is especially so because something tells me that our
country will still need him.


God's ways are not ours and only He sees and knows the hidden things that lie ahead. It
is not Al Mustapha that we should weep for, it is Nigeria.


Finally let me restate my position clearly for all to see and for posterity to take note of.


I believe that Hamza Al Mustapha is innocent of this crime. As far as I am aware there is
absolutely no evidence against him and the only person that said that he ordered him to
go and kill the late Kudirat Abiola (Sergeant Barnabas Jabilla) has long since recanted and
said that he was induced and compelled to give that false evidence by the authorities.


In any civilised country that would have been the end of it but not in Nigeria. In Nigeria it
is a case of ''we must get him at all costs'' even if it means bending the law and influencing
the courts.


One has to ask whether, as a people, we have any fear of God? Is there any justice in Nigeria?
Is there any fairness? Can we ever rely on the courts to do the right thing when the state determines
to punish an innocent man for his perceived sins against the powers that be?


I am fed up and disgusted with the sort of things that go on in this country when it comes to
such matters and I just cannot understand how Nigerians are so comfortable with such injustice
and wickedness being meted out to their compatriots. Do they not know that tomorrow it could
be them or a member of their family? On this matter I stand by Al Mustapha shoulder to shoulder
just as I do with every other innocent person that has been unfairly charged to court for political
reasons and who has suffered persecution at the hands of a relentless and vicious state that
have no fear of God.


This country just has to change. God's wrath is stirred up by such wickedness and insensitivity.

You lock up an innocent man for 13 years in the most horrific conditions for something that he
did not do, you delay his trial, you wrongly convict him where there is clearly no evidence to
justify it and now you want to hang him? God is not asleep Nigeria. Unless God wills it, Hamza
Al Mustapha will not hang and ultimately he will be vindicated. My prayers are for him and for
his family at this difficult time. God bless Nigeria.

Nwabunwanne advised Ojukwu’s family, security operatives and the entire easterners to be on the alert to prevent the disruption of the event by Boko Haram. He said that the plan by the terrorist group that has made the northern parts of the country largely ungovernable can be averted through serious prayers.

It would be recalled that policemen on patrol in the Nsukka area of Enugu State on Friday arrested 25 suspected Boko Haram members who were intercepted in a Toyota bus said to belong to the Zamfara State Government.

The suspects, who were reportedly coming from Zamfara State, were intercepted at Okpuje, a border town between Enugu and Kogi State, by a police patrol team on routine stop-and-search. Some of the dangerous weapons recovered from the suspects included guns, unexpended bullets, daggers and battle axes.
You just keep creating Chaos for yourselves!!!

The 27 men from the northern part of Nigeria with 19 local guns and other dangerous weapons who were arrested by the police at Nsukka (Thursday night) for unlawful possession of fire arms were hunters, and have no link to the Islamic sect, Boko Haram, Sunday Trust learnt from a reliable police source.
Our reporter learnt that upon arresting the men, the traditional ruler of Adani Community in Uzo-Uwani Local Government Area of Enugu State was actually contacted and he confirmed that the men, among them a 70-year-old man, were hunters who went on expedition. The men were armed with axes, long knives and other harmful objects.

It was gathered that the last time the hunters visited the town on similar expedition was about three years ago, and that they usually settled at a camp in Adani, although they are still under police custody.

“The security situation in the country now does not permit one to carry guns about from one state to another since that will create more tension plus the already existing tension the land,” said the source.

The Nsukka Division of Enugu State Police Command had Thursday night arrested 25 persons and their two drivers, including local guns, which they concealed in bags of fertilizer with axes and long matchets. The suspects were reportedly traveling from Zamfara state with a bus bearing Zamfara state government number plate Thursday night when they were intercepted by the police at Nsukka.

The Divisional Police Officer at the Nsukka police station, who drove away reporters, and prevented them from taking pictures of the suspects, however, quoted to have said that the suspects were hunters who were traveling from Zamfara on a hunting expedition to settle in Enugu, and not actually members of the Islamic sect.

Our reporter gathered that a powerful team of police had been sent from Enugu Police Command to transfer the case and suspects to the state police Headquarters at Enugu for further screening. “The state government does not want to take chances,” the source said.

The State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Ebere Amaraizu, who confirmed the incident said the Hausas were “really intercepted on their way from Zamfara, they were coming to settle in Enugu. They had den guns for hunting and not terrorism adventures.”
