Maybe you need to go back and re-read the title of the thread. The Isokos are not complaining their land has been 'stolen', they are complaining of a sale being executed without being duly informed.

If there are issues regarding getting appropriate compensation for their land rights, there are ways of pursuing that in a constructive fashion. Going to beat up a few people in one flowstation is hardly going to achieve that.

In any case, the majority shareholding in SPDC is carried by the NNPC - they should go beat up NNPC officials instead if they feel aggrieved about stolen land.

As ekt_bear has mentioned, the new players buying into these leases are likely to be less concerned about their public image, and hence may tend to be less tolerant of community demands.

"We have learnt that based on Jang's statement, there is a plan to victimise security officers from the North. In fact, we have learnt that some of them have started tendering their resignation letters to the authorities concerned. By implicating security agents, Muslims among them would be singled out by the Federal Government for victimisation. President Jonathan should not allow this to happen," he said.

[b]The former Speaker maintained that if security personnel from the North are victimised, there could be serious religious disharmony in the country.[/[/b]quote]

Damn!
Its best for any boko haram to resign and carry out their idiotic fight like men, not as shamelessly evil cowards who blow up women and babies.
I wonder what worse "religious disharmony" there can be than boko haram? That Danmusa clown is better off shutting his gob.

President Goodluck Jonathan has given approval to men and officers of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps to carry arms, Interior Minister Comrade Abba Moro disclosed yesterday.

The minister announced the president's approval yesterday while on a familiarity visit to both the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corp (NSCDC) and the Federal Fire Service headquarters in Abuja.

Addressing the elated crowd of officers and men of Civil Defense Corps, the minister said, "the Federal Government and Mr. President has approved that you carry arms."

The minister, who did not disclose specifically when the Corps will start carrying arms, stated that the approval was in consideration of the danger which the Corps members are exposed to and the risks they take in tackling issues that have to do with national security.

In his speech, the NSCDC Commandant General, Professor Ade Abolurin, said the first batch of 500 personnel of the Corps, who will form the nucleus of the Civil Defense Armed Squad, are undergoing three-month intensive training in arms and weapon handling at the Prison Armed Squad College, Owerri, in Imo State.

He said another 200 senior officers and 400 junior officers which include drivers and orderlies have commenced lights arms (pistol) handling in Prison Staff College and Training School, Kaduna.

While at Nigerian Fire Service, the minister also promised to enhance the service in every possible way for an efficient and effective discharge of its responsibilities.

He said in the "next three weeks" the committee for restructuring the Nigerian Fire Service will be inaugurated, adding that the service everywhere across the world is seen as "part of our lives" as means for providing enabling environment.

maclatunji:
Yet, you are hiding behind aletheia to avoid answering my questions. Too hot to answer, abi?

I suppose the word "de facto" means nothing to you. I now know you cannot read because I had already countered your argument with the Atiku angle. If by sabotaging Obasanjo's 3rd term agenda (even for selfish reasons), he is a "backstabber" in your friend's opinion. He still had the guts to use his "powers" and influence to achieve his objectives as VP. I wonder what GEJ's objectives are, if he has any at all.

I have used you to answer your own question.

greateros:
Abiola is dead and cant be recalled. Openning a can of worm on his death will do no one any good.

We need to move on.

The government should pls do something about al-mustapha's case. more than 12 years in detention without a conclusive trial is a gross abuse of human right.

They should set him free.

hercules07:
But Beaf your GEJ has a PHD now and he looks and acts like a fool as well, it seems some PHDs are made for fools oooooo.

swezenberg:
One of the few Governors that has taken his eyes away from the so-called black gold to explore other avenue he could sustain his State which was immensely devastated by the useless past PDP governors. Beaf, the people of that State are really appreciative of his effort. What has your governor done to your State despite the revenue you enjoy from Oil proceeds?

If you don't have anything better then keep quiet!

hollandis:
Yorubas are cursed,instead of telling the murderer to shut up AND yelling the court that justice must be done,they are daring him to point fingers at any yoruba person implicated covertly or overtly.

Biggie9:
Reuben is just a fool who has no identity. Am suprised that someone of his calibre will sacrifise all he has built and achieved in life as a constructive social critic to become an errand boy for Jonathan just for a pot of porridge. May God safe us all.

koruji:
So the way you called Aregbesola mad is a great sign of respect, hey. All the names you have being hauling at him must be medals of honor then.

Only leaders with idle hands pay attention & pay people to demand respect on their behalf while they keep doing things that do not evoke respect for all to see.

“ That NCG discussed and unanimously adopted both the roadmap to popular constitutional restructuring of Nigeria and the draft bill thereof presented by the chair of the strategy team of Project Nigeria. We have however resolved to mobilize all Nigerians with the content of this new bill and also launch this great movement in the existing six geopolitical zones of the country in our determined resolve to engage both the president and the National Assembly in their latest attempt to take a look at the constitutional and democratic structure of Nigeria.”

Among the 50 issues being proposed for tinkering in the proposed amendments are revenue allocation, the enactment of true federalism and the strengthening of the nation’s anti-corruption institutions, notably the Independent Corrupt practices and other related offences Commission, ICPC and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

The momentum for the proposed reforms it was learnt flowed from the recommendations of past constitutional and political conferences in the country. Among those specifically named yesterday were the reports from the Citizens’ Forum for Constitution Reform(CFCR) which prepared a draft Constitution, the Pro-National Conference(PRORONACO) Peoples Constitution, the Abacha Constitution of 1995, the report of the National Political Reform Conference of 2005 and the 1999 Constitution.

“Looking at the performance of the last election, some people are of the view that If we strengthen the accountability institutions, the nation could make do with what we have on ground now. The views are still coalescing,” the source disclosed yesterday.

Chief Olu Falae

“You know we, that is, myself and our Baba, late chief Abraham Adesanya were at the fore front of getting Abiola released from the military Gulag that time. You know that nobody could ever offer us bribe, talk less of taking it. As far as I am concerned, all money in the Central Bank of Nigeria cannot buy me, all the dollars in the US treasury cannot bribe me.

Abati: The problem may be worth debating of course, and it may well be a good idea to ensure that Presidents and Governors spend only one term in office: five years or six at most. I believe that this may even help solve the problem of cut-throat competition for Presidential and gubernatorial offices, and cure the mischief of Governors and Presidents spending their second terms in office doing practically nothing.
