I take this as an ignorant statement
The Location of the President Eagle Square wasnt that close to the Bombed place which was at the Ministry of justice near the High court
The president was far away
And someplace parked faraway and trecked to the Eagle square to witness the event
It is not possible to get near the president the Security the president has is unprecedented can not be broken easily  

Dude, I said close to the area where the President was, the bombs exploded near Eagle Square and the President was in Eagle Square. If you think his security cordone stopped at the gates of Eagle Square, then you are ignorant, yet rushing to speak.

Mbeki:
This a dangerous dimension the revolution is going to take, Nigerians are not even strong in physical security as displayed in today's car bomb blast by eagle square talk more of cyberattack, very soon Nigerians will wake up to see that their communication networks has been hacked, they won't be able to make calls, or connect to the internet.
Trust those sinators and legislooters, they won't make any statement on the hacked site.

This is exactly what will happen if out of the foolishness of a lot of Nigerians, IBB gets elected. You can also add airports and anything that runs on any sort of network to the bargain.

If Henry Okah was indeed behind this, then govt must have had a clue, hence the Interpol search on his place and the attempts to by Orubebe and Jonathan to reach him.
If Henry Okah is indeed behind this, he'll be making himself persona non grata in the ND.

However, there is still the need for open minds in this issue.

Hamid O:
I'm doing that for you alone so don't get too excited. I'm sure you tweet in full on twitter too, or is tweeting also a preoccupation of adolescent teenagers. I'm so stunned by your way of thinking. Try and get the meaning of communication, it'll help you alot.

Don't worry, I'll soon be communicating with you in Isoko, because I understand it. It will be "communication" if you don't.
. . .And please stick to the way you are writing now. Many will appreciate you for it.

I'm sure you're a nice guy caught up in a long running thing you don't know about (read it); https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-523493.192.html#msg6857115
So, hey! I have nothing against you.

sbeezy8:
It could be both gov officials and a faction of MEND.

I really wonder if all cars packed within the vicinity of Eagle Square wouldn't normally be thoroughly screened. Something smells really fishy with this bombing.

Hamid O:
Tell me thats what you think you've been doing over the years, typing words in full all in the name of intelligence. As long as people get what you are saying then you are communicating, I have just seen the new release of your usual post on this page. It's the same thing as parts 1 and 2, nothing changed. It suggests to me that you are jobless especially when your target oyb sees non of it

Dude, I know its difficult for you to accept, but texting is for messaging between mobile phones. It is also a preoccupation of adolescent teenagers, but there always comes a time to grow up (which I note you have suddenly done). Great!

Now get on your bike.

Hamid O:
@Beaf, Just occured to me thats what you call yourself.

If I'm thinking what you are thinking, then spelling is also one of your shortcomings.

Now for the serious questions. Was this really MEND or was it, as Okah claims, rotten hands in the government?
A few things trouble the mind, such as;

[list]
[li]How were the miscreants able to smuggle bombs so close to a tightly secure area in which the President was speaking?[/li]
[li]Why was the area not evacuated even though warning was given?[/li]
[li]There have been threats of untold mayhem from politicians, was this a manifestation of such a threat?[/li]

[size=14pt]Nigerian Officials Knew Of Plan To Bomb Abuja As Henry Okah Speaks[/size]
Fri Oct, 01 2010

Facts are emerging that the Nigerian government may have had knowledge of the bomb blasts that marred the celebrations marking the nation’s 50 years of independence of Friday.

Eight people, mostly security personels died in the bomb blasts.

In a failed attempt to stop the attack, the Interpol allegedly raided the home of Nigerian rebel leader, Henry Okah in Johannesburg, South Africa at the request of the Nigerian government.

According to South African sources, a combined team of security officials and the Interpol numbering over 50 conducted the dawn raid on Thursday night. The raid which lasted several hours yielded no result as no weapon was found at Mr. Okah’s home.

Mr. Okah’s South African lawyer, Mr. Kruger was present throughout the duration of the search. Okah was not arrested as no incriminating evidence was found.

Okah told The Times of Nigeria on telephone from South Africa that he was shocked at the blast and was alerted to it by a reporter of the British Broadcasting Service (BBC).

“I was taking a nap when a BBC reporter called to enquire about the Abuja blast. I have no knowledge of it and was as shocked as everyone. The government should look inwards to solve its internal problem. I live in South Africa not Nigeria.” Okah said over the telephone.

The Times of Nigeria can also reveal that the Presidency also made desperate attempt to reach Mr. Okah in the past few days all to no avail.

A former commissioner in Bayelsa State who currently serves as a Senior Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan reached out to Okah and tried to establish communication between Okah and President Jonathan but Okah allegedly declined to speak with Jonathan.

The Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Elder Godsday Orubebe was also said to have made several attempts to reach Okah on telephone but his calls were not answered. Orubebe has served as a linkman in the past for rebel groups operating in the Niger Delta.

Posted: October 1, 2010 - 20:19
By SaharaReporters, New York
Among the victims of the twin car bombs that rocked Abuja today was the son of a well-known police officer, Zakari Biu.

A controversial anti-terrorism police officer under the Abacha regime, Mr. Biu was accused of numerous human rights abuses. He was also linked to the still unsolved murder of Baguado Kaltho, a senior reporter at the News magazine who was killed by a bomb detonated in the bathroom of a hotel where the police claimed he was trying to plant a bomb.

http://www.saharareporters.com/news-page/zakari-biu-policemans-son-among-bomb-blast-victims[/quote]This sounds quite like the law of karma.

Hamid O:
Hey, Nothing personal please, the fact that you didn't get my message because of simple things like pipo-people, y-why doesn't justify your silly repitition of one same post from the same person so many times. We actually got your message the first time and there was no need for the disturbance. I had to type simple words like "you" which i'll easily have typed as "u" just for your understanding,    Mind you, typing words in full on NL doesn't make you intelligent.

But texting to a website does? Damn!
Do you somehow think NL is a mobile phone owned by a teenager?

As for what I posted, I'd advise you to mind your business, because I will do it over and over and over again. So drop dead if you like, nothing will change.

Mobinga:
Are You People Still Fighting?

No, its just an aggressive handshake. Nutin spoil.

Hamid O:
y not stop tryin so hard 2 paint pipo black, do u think a black person dat says black pipo don't read is refering 2 every black person, dat was directed at only u n i guess there was a reason 4 dat, so stop trying to mislead pipo

If you had read the link, you wouldn't have come up with the crap you did earlier.
In any event, I'm finding it hard to comprehend what you are saying, because you are writing neither English nor Pidgin English. Its like something from hell that adolescents use to write little love nothings to each other; please communicate in English or Pidgin English, especially when you want to challenge another posters intelligence.

If the Abia governor had done this, his state would have been fine; instead his band of brothers went around kidnapping little kids.

nconcept:
Why did our amiable president decide to start what he cannot finish.
I was stunned,at the same time impressed when he started the speech without consulting notes, I applauded the effort,trying to copy the famous Obama, but lo! Mid-way through,he began to stutter and scramble for words,and he then requested for his notes.
That wasn't a good site at all, At least he should have made use of micro-chip notes.
That performance from the number one citizen nearly marred the day,
What do you think?

When bombs go off, everything changes.

Hamid O:
now u irritatin us with your repeated post of d sametin, do u have anytin personal against oyb? tell us instead of postin this same tin on every page, i xpect u to be more intelligent goin by d number of post to your name but d reverse seems to be d case

I hope you were "intelligent" enough to check the link, cos as they say, black people don't read.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-464527.32.html#msg6238782

Why is anybody worrying about how the World looks at us? Thats a really funny thought.

The average Nigerian would slap the next person on the street, because he has more money or "knows somebody." Our politicians are the highest paid in the whole wide World, Abuja will spend money from the ND like there is no tomorrow, while the place is the most polluted oil bearing area in the whole World. . . Why are you concerened about how the World views Nigeria?

It is the rest of the World that tells the average Nigerian how much he is suffering, because he doesn't even know; the fcker would rather spend his wretched life hailing his oppressor as "alaye" and abusing others that seem more downtrodden than himself. . . Why are you concerened about how the World views Nigeria?

Nigerians don't care about how they are viewed, otherwise we would have repaired the leaky boat long since.

oyb:
what the fck are you smoking?

is the state of the nd sole the blame of the fg?

what are the governors doing with their allocations?


you lot are the same people who will help ibori escape from the clutches of the law

oyb wants all ND people to be sent to the gas chamber. We know where the blood thirsty chimp is coming from. The unreformed tribalist hates anything ND.

you lo are responsible for this pass, in your own way - you celebrated their actions - now they have stepped it up a notch and you are disturbed when you see the results

and these are the same people screaming bloody revolution - people with no imagination.

Shut your fcking trap. Bloody unwashed barbarian.

MaziUche0:
And they will gain it back after the FG response. They will send the JTF in to kill thousands of Niger Deltans. Sad but true.

The new head of JTF is a Niger Deltan (Maj. Gen. Omoregie - Edo state), so we can be rest assured that reckless murder and criminal ra'pe of the young and old won't be happening this time. Thank God the Odi, Gbaramatu and other similar massacres are not about to happen.

Innocent souls always pay in any struggle, but MEND would need to think up new ways of doing things, killing those that share the suffering (whether by accident or not), is not going to buy many friends; no matter how just MEND's struggle is.

truly:
Tell me where people in charge of resouces have also achieved their objectives by killing innocent people
BTW I have no issues with true federalism, resource control
I just detest killing of innocent people
The Nigerian state and its leadership will not act if the poor are killed (maybe they think there are too many poor people anyway)
Afterall they shoot protesters
They will get serious only if their interests are threatened
If the person speaking of a revolution means a true revolution (not civil war) - but the poor, down trodden rising against the oppressors
That is a different issue

The tactic used by MEND today backfired, even though they sent out a warning that the place would be evacuated. However, MENDs call for true federalism is a just call. They feel that their land is the most neglected, because the govt that drills the oil is too far away in Abuja to care. Some points;

[list]
[li]The ND is the most polluted oil producing area in the World.[/li]
[li]The Niger Delta is the Worlds most polluted wetlands.[/li]
[li]It is one of the 5 most polluted areas in the World (including nuclear power station sites and dumps).[/li]
[/list]

When the above and the repeated massacres of peaceful protesters is considered, it is easy to see that every blessed day, Nigeria feeds on real blood from the Niger Delta. Something urgent needs to be done about it.

jabbok:
Have you ever seen a mend person wey dey lean?. Asari, Okah, all of them- they resemble people wey wan die?

truly:
Wars, terrorism never turn out in real life as envisaged on strategy paper
Where is IRA? many innocent lives lost, armed struggle abandoned, objectives unrealized
Where are the Tamil Tigers? many innocent lives lost, the Tigers annihilated, objectives unrealized, situation worse than at beginning
Where is ETA? many innocent lives lost, armed struggle abandoned, call for discussion being spurned, objectives unrealized

All of those groups do not control their nations resources. Nigeria will be playing a dangerous game by looking at those areas for experience.
It is better to look at MENDs demand for true federalism. In fact, you and I will be better off for it.

OAM4J:
Beaf, MEND got it totally wrong this time around. They were really ill advised.

With today's bombing they have lost many supporters and much respect

Let them blow up some oil pipelines and installations, I will understand not planting bombs that killed innocent people.

The loss of life is absolutely regretable. They will need to refocus strategies or give much longer warning periods, so that innocent lives are not lost.
I have the feeling that our security agencies must be overstretched for them not to have been able to take some staff off Eagle Square to evacuate the threatened area or defuse the bombs.

ayinba1:
So if the WEST does not classify MEND as a terrorist organisation, it means they are not terrorists!! Hmmnnn!! Slavery mentality is inbred in some people.

Please wake up people, some started by saying MEND is not really responsible; (thanks Beaf for the confirmation email).
People's lives are lost, gone never to return. It doesn't matter who is responsible but when you take the lives of inoocent people because of your displeasure at government or authority, you have committed an act of TERROR.

Stop yearning/praying for intertribal wars by blaming the Hausas for this.

Yes, if the West says they aren't terrorists it means they are not terrorists. What do you call your police that take more innocent lives by "accidental discharge?" If you haven't yet started calling them terrorists, then you are a hypocrite.
MEND is a group of freedom fighters, take it or leave it. Their methods might not be right all the time, but freedom fighters is what they are.
