Funkymallam:
keep quite, they were invited not summoned.
GEJ needs BRF's help to negotiate with stubborn labour.
Talking of restless state, kano is more restless than lagos, lagos state is having a carnival of some sort.

This new labour president just they gain popularity, soon he would contest for governorship in his state, with all d cash that will change hand during this meeting. Ask Adams Oshiomole.
Pls, i want to b d next labour leader.

Call it what you like. If the President summons any govt official in Nigeria, they MUST go, especially in situations to do with national security.
By the way, whatever goes on in Kano is pretty lightweight compared to Lagos on so many fronts.
GEJ is being a democrat, otherwise many would have been arrested, sacked or replaced by now, especially those threatening the oil sector. I expect govt actions to be more robust going forward, as the people have been allowed to freely express themselves. At some point, its gonna have to end.

alj harem:
trust me when I tell you at SE is on their own

calabar, warri, edo, even as bad as port harcourt all protested

Your second name is LIAR.
This is from Warri. Chew on it and think again:

Why am I not surprised at your comment?

Why am I not surprised that there is rioting in your section of the country? Just look at the list of cabal members and tell me where they are from. You are being used in an ethnically bigotted attack on the govt. Its not even that all of you will become importers to steal the subsidies, you are just sending the young out to die for no reason. Those who have been stealing the subsidies are from your end of town, but has their filthy money touched your life?

chino11:
FYI: Count Rivers out, the protest is a Yoruba thing. From Anambra to Rivers to Akwa-Ibom to Cross-River to Delta there is no protest against subsidy removal.

Damn true.

I don't know why people talk stup!dly.
The President can summmon anybody in Nigeria, governer or hunter, democracy or not.

Amaechi is the leader of the governors forum and Fashola's state is the most restless, so it makes sense. Maybe a curfew is about to be levied on Lagos.

DRANOEL:
i wan die with laughter!
but seriously i think politically the ibo politicians are not very smart. at times like this when every other group has made its stand they will keep quiet. when a positive result comes out and the spoils of war are being shared'they will now come out screaming marginalisation

How come #occupy is rather silent in your Benue state?

This is the right time to resurrect this thread, after a few days of rather aimless protesting and with area boys beginning to take over.

We have been through this list before and basically showed how shallow it is and why the protests are a failure: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-843242.0.html

Tunde Bakare deserves to be jailed for life, for incendiary statements and stealing from the weak. However, I do not think your story is accurate that they have been charged to court for treason (I could be wrong).

I hope the warri protesters who SHUT DOWN warri port will not see these clowns who were hired by Kingsley Kuku - special adviser to jonathan on militants or else heads will roll[/quote]Did they shut down the Warri Port in your village? Someone posted and old picture of a protest against fraud in NPA and you people accepted it when nuff Warri pipo kept telling you no such thing happened. Deceive yourself sha, it a democratic right.

By the way, if you look a little bit to the right, then centrally to the left, you will see me. Lol!

[size=14pt]Boko Haram infiltrates Cameroon[/size]
Posted on Wednesday 11 January 2012 - 10:30
Solomon Tembang Mforgham, AfricaNews reporter in Limbe, Cameroon

The Nigerian Islamic sect, Boko Haram, which has been wrecking havoc in West African country, is reported to have infiltrated northern Cameroon. The militants are said to have taken refuge in northern Cameroon as the Nigerian government has intensified its clampdown on them especially following their bombing of churches on Christmas Day that led to the death of over 50 persons.

Reports say members of the extremist group are more and more present in Lagdo, a cosmopolitan town in the North Region. Sources say they are easily identifiable by their bizarre dressing, long beads and red or black headscarves.

According to reports, for several months, Lagdo residents have testified that the strangers are combing surrounding villages and actively preaching anti-Western sermons, establishing units and proposing huge amounts of money to those willing to follow them.

In a bid to prevent cross-border activities by militants of the Islamic sect, the Nigerian government recently temporarily shut down its land borders with Cameroon, Chad and Niger.

Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, in a televised national address recently, said the closure of the border was to control supposed cross-border activities by members of the sect. He also decreed a state of emergency in 15 local government areas in the Borno, Plateau, Niger and Yobe states.

“The temporary closure of our borders in the affected areas is only an interim measure designed to address the current security challenges and will be reviewed as soon as normalcy is restored”, he said.

It would be recalled that recently during a security coordination meeting, the Governor of the North region of Cameroon, Gambo Haman, enjoined security forces to be on alert, highlighting the incursion of Boko Haram militants into parts of the region.

“The Boko Haram being chased from Nigeria’s northeast, as well as thousands of runaway Chadian soldiers in irregular situation here must be closely monitored to avoid unwanted trouble throughout the national territory,” he cautioned.
Nonetheless, administrative official in the region are quoted as saying there is no need yet for panic

“We cannot begin to arrest suspects because the law does not allow for that. At the moment, they are not breaking the law,” one of them is quoted as saying.

Meanwhile, authorities in the region have reinforced surveillance and many Quran learning centres have been reportedly shut down, while Islam teachers are being closely watched by intelligence operatives.

It would be noted that last year some authorities within the Islamic community in Cameroon had warned that the increasing crack down on the Boko Haram in Nigeria may cause them to run to Cameroon. Cameroon, some of them alleged, was no longer just a hideout for the militants but a field for enlisting converts.

Sources within the Moslem community say there are many indicators that militants of the sect are in Cameroon and are preaching their doctrines in some mosques. It would be recalled that not long ago the Divisional Officer for Limbe I sub-division, Tsanga Foe, closed a mosque in Limbe when there were allegations that members of Boko Haram had infiltrated it. Other pointers that the militants are in Cameroon, sources say, are the distribution of CDs and fliers with the Boko Haram doctrine.

However, government seems to have heeding to the warning of Moslems in Cameroon as recently the Senior Divisional Officer for Wouri division, Bernard Okalia Bilai, convened Imams and Muslim community leaders in Douala and instructed them to come out with ways of repelling any establishment of the sect in Douala and other parts of Cameroon.

“We have been informed of attempts of Boko Haram infiltration. Their doctrine is anti-social as it condemns western education. It’s a doctrine that persuades young graduates to rip their degrees because it’s satanic. It’s a doctrine that condemns what today constitutes the values of our society and top authorities of the country don’t accept that such hateful dogma is established in our communities, and thus the necessity of this meeting. We must be vigilant,” he counselled.

It is also worth noting that when Chadian President, Idriss Deby, came visiting recently, terrorist fears was part of his discussion with President Paul Biya.

“We must remain very vigilant to the consequences of the upheavals that have occurred in the north of our continent. It is of no interest to anyone that a zone of instability emerges close to our northern borders. In that light, our solidarity is of utmost importance,” Biya told Deby.

On his part, Deby called for a cross-border Security Mixed Commission session to chart ways of dealing with increasing Boko Haram and AQMI (the Maghreb branch of al-Qaeda) threats.

Please can this thread be moved to the appropriate section? It has nothing at all to do with politics:

Thanks.

And is anything wrong with that?? I could have lied as some usually do (all it takes is Google) but I am telling the truth. Its your choice to believe or not to believe, after all, this is the internet and I am Abagworo according to you.

What is wrong with a person claiming to be an "Itsekiri" man from an Ijaw village?!!
Na wa!

So, you could have used Google to find your village in Delta state? Wonders!!

NL is very entertaining indeed!

kingoflag:
Yeah, its a war against the Ijaws even though "your son's " rule has been very admirable.

Abeg, go siddon somewhere jo. U no get shame?

Fool. I am not Ijaw.

That question should not arise. The current govt is led by a totally different person than those that led other govts in the past decade.
This govt is doing something about it and very strangely, people are protesting the steps.

This has nothing to do with politics.
Can mods please move it?

You got jokes, bruv.
Nothing wrong with Oduduwa, its just that I don't belong.

jason123:
Well done.
Say no more, bros.

@Beaf
the propaganda here with your other IDs will do us no good. The reality on ground is VERY different from what you tell people.
Kpogede is a man on ground and he is telling you the TRUTH! https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-710432.0.html
Ilajes fought with MEND because it was a fight for justice for all oil producing community. . . .
He who has ear, let him hear!

Before I digress, the attempt to ethnicise this protest or turn it into an oil battle will not work!

The era of divide and rule has ended. Now is the time to demand accountability. This is not about GEJ or ND as you make it. I have been praying for GEJ so I do not dislike him. This is more than him. This is about leadership!

. . .Says the "Itsekiri" man from an Ijaw village!
Lol!

This is exactly why GEJ is deregulating. NNPC is going to be scrapped after PHCN.
Corruption and disfunction of this magnitude are some of the things Nigerians should be protesting about. They shouldn't be protesting about the medicine.

Olisa74:
So the question I ask is why can't NNPC cut out the international traders and buy the refined products directly from the suppliers, hence doing away with the middlemen and all the corruption that dealing with them entails?

NNPC too, is being scrapped as part of the deregulation.

jason123:
Again, curb you ignorance. Its like saying there is no Igbo in Lagos or no Ijaw in warri or no Itsekiri in ese-odo in Ondo state.
Again, did you not say there was no Itsekiri muslim??
Read and educate yourself;
http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/01/over-50-injured-as-angry-youths-attack-muslims-in-sapele/

I'm just wondering when you will enter the Guiness Book of Records as the first Itsekiri man from an Ijaw village! LOLZZZZZ!!!!!

jason123:
^^^
So, according to you, there are no Itsekiris in Ogbe Ijaw? As you said there are no Itsekiri muslims. Please, curb your ignorance!

So, you are still claiming to be an Itsekiri from Ogbe-Ijaw!!!
Na wa o! That means there Ijaw people from Kwara state and Yoruba people with hometowns in Abia!

You are a counterfeit Itsekiri man from Borno state, called alj haram!

[size=33pt]LOL![/size]

df2006:
thank you, tell that lying f0rk to always speak for him self, not even, for his immediate family, but himself alone, i am sure he has been disowned,

that is if ever he was from that region.

He has no roots in that region. He is alh haram.
I remember a day I challenged him to name his village and he named Ogbe Ijaw!

The punk has no roots Delta state, talkless of in the ND. I don't even think he knows what Warri or Sapele look like, if you doubt lets challenge him.

When the time comes, we shall see about all these Yoruba claims to ND territory. Until then, keep smoking.

Bakassi is not even on the sea, it is a peninsular, not even an island. 2mch is quite addled and deluded.

If they ask, let them have it. Same goes to everyone else.
Its a bluff that will backfire anyway, cos people love the idea of Arewa.

jason123:
A group of people that produced the wonderful dynasties we have in the West. From the Oduduwa revolution to the Olu Ginuwa. I think they also produced the Obi of Onicha etc (not to sure though. I need to read up on that).

Dude, shut up and quit speaking for others. You and your family alone would go to Oduduwa.
The Urhobo, Ijaws, Itsekiri's of Delta state are all one in the fight against oppression.

But in every 12, there is a Judas; I guess thats who you are. But wiser NLers know that you are just another incanation of the grass munching alj haram.

Set aside ethnic prejudices, the whole of Nigeria as a whole is f u c k e d , including the people. My point is, when everyone decides to go their separate ways, at least this will encourage unity among the said newly formed sovereign states and will foster healthy competition. Then will we see which region's citizens will be begging for visa soon abi? Please drop your excessive claims about resources, move on buddy!

Dude, I have no ethnic prejudices. I watched with disbelief the way the protest was promoted as a largely ethnic thing and like most educated SE/SS people, rightly see it as camouflaged cannon fire aimed at our regions. Several powerful people have made overt and covert threats to deal with our regions once power is transfered; so we have bunkered down to defend ourserlves by any means necessary.

I share all your views about how a healthy system should run, but as you say, Nigeria is phucked.
Our only reality today is oil. The peoples unwillingness to break away from it is evident in the illogical demonstrations and deaths in our streets today. It is artificial to suggest that I stop talking about resources, because that is what it is about. When did the Nigerian ever come out to demonstrate about a proper citizen-state contract that guarantees rewards for effort, belonging, and protection of the citizen? Its never happened, but awuf can bring us baying into the streets, because we are pushed by ulterior motives and waved into action by ethnic champions. Its very embarrassing.

I always predicted openly on NL that the demos would amount to nothing because they have a zero ideological footing, its only about immediate satiation of greed and "phuck future generations." Well, left alone, it would break up into open robbery, ra'pe and anarchy; the protesters will soon kill an innocent soul. You wanna bet?

One of the benefits of awuf, is a society that cannot apply itself and becomes progressively shallow thinking and in search of immediate quenching of its worldly desires. That is the bigger picture of the protests.

To be honest, i really wish one could throw electronic punches! i will use everything on this scum of the earth called MR BEAF OR CHICKEN. Olori ibu!

But I can throw some really wikid and devastating cyber punches if I want to. Its just not right. Lol!
I'll keep my tricks to use on strategic places like **************, if any hostilities break out.
