What exactly did he do wrong?

The last time I checked, "Obeying your superior" isnt a crime.

What is the difference between Al Mustapha and the young US marines sent to Iraq to liberate Iraqis?

Hint: They both killed sporadically, on the order of their superiors. Despite that, the US marines are treated as heros in their homeland. Why cant we do that to Al Mustapha. For crying out sake, he was the CSO at one time, he kept the president safe at all times, against, mostly ,enemies of the state. I see nothing wrong in that!

Somebody should tell him to remove the label on his jacket next time

I understand your point and I am not in anyway saying we are having a jolly time here in Nigeria, but its not that bad and there is certainly room for improvement. What I have taken as an insult is roping Nigeria, sudan and somalia in the same category, that is flawed reasoning at best. I pointed out russia china and the middle east to show that we are not that far away and the problems are not unique to Nigeria. The Nigerian government bad as it is, is in total control of this country and that is the strongest indicator, no one cartel can hold a state ransom for instance. I mean how can you call on a failed state to help failed states in africa?
Quality of life may not be high in Nigeria, but I am sure its a lot better than other places and if it is not good enough lets us put people who are accountable to us in power. Simples!!

Hhehehehehehe, empty barrels, who get time for 2 of una, you both are looking for who to bring to your "party" right? sorry to burst your bubbles, i am not in the same "FAILED STATE" party you both belong to.

Your own Nigeria is a failed state, mine isn't, that's why i rather spend time correcting the lapses than sitting down, nagging and looking for more people to nag with.

oK WE DON FAIL, WE DON SCATTER, INFACT WE NO DEY IN EXISTENCE AGAIN, SO ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? HAS THIS NAGGING OF YOURS PUT FOOD ON YOUR TABLE OR ON THE TABLE OF THOSE HOW DON'T HAVE ANY?
If the votes are rigged, what stops you from protesting and revolting?

honeric01:
Yes, electricity is not constant, not because we cannot have a constant electricity, but because people like you are fond to always nag nag nag without any action, we all know why we don't have constant electricity (corruption from the few elite), yet we that are bearing the brunt have failed to act, we sit down, nag about all our problems without taking any action.

ELECTION IS COMING, VOTE THESE PEOPLE OUT, if smaller & bigger countries could fix electricity for their own country, why can't we have the same? answer is corrupt leaders and weak followers who only know how to nag and whine, yet wouldn't act.

Chrisbenogor:
No it seems you are the one who does not understand what a dire situation is. This classic neo colonial way of thinking is what continues to haunt us, our democracy can never be like that of the west, we are a unique people and at our own pace we would get there. The atrocities committed in states like russia and china everyday would rival and even defeat that in Nigeria, no one holds anyone accountable in russia, putin has been in power since forever, how many places refer to them as a failed state? huh?
As for denial that is the real problem we have, are you going to come out with your family to at least try and kick the pdp out? Let us grow at our pace, corruption is part and parcel of our culture thats the sad truth. If the silly colonial masters had not put together this experiment we would not be in this much of a mess but still we have risen up and above and slowly we are celebrating more than ten years of democracy. It has not been easy but it would be worth it, all this suffer would pay off for our kids hopefully someday. Someday.

zoraro:
I hope that Nigeria will never be a failed state. I am sorry, but I think only an enemy of Nigeria/Nigerians will wish that for this Country. Like Chrisbenogor said, it is because Nigeria is not/can not be a failed state that is why we have so many problems today. The threat of been a failed state is not what should motivate Nigerians to make the Country better, the suffering is already unbearable as it is.
If Nigeria becomes a failed state the suffering will be 100 times more than it is today, all neighboring Countries (if not the whole West Africa) will be affected. The Nigerian civil war will be child's play compared to it, Nigeria's population today is more than 3 times what it was then. 
So I can't Imagine that a Nigerian will say/wish such for the Country.

Nigeria has not failed

And, it is not failing

It is not America for sure, nevertheless it is a well functioning state!

balo:
, And do u really think you need to post all that to make me reason the way you are reasoning? It's obvious you can't have contrary opinion with people or argue without resulting to insults. Shows the kinda training you got while growing up.

Lagosians voted for Fashola because Tinubu said we should. If the same man that said we should vote for him that time now seems to be saying otherwise (though unconfirmed), then I think we should listen.

balo:
I think everyone that has interest in getting the ACN ticket should be allowed to contest in the primaries. Giving Fashola automatic ticket is undemocratic. Remember, most people never knew who Fashola was until he became the flagbearer of AC in 2007.

You are right, after 24 months of even the first term, there was a lull in governance and it's still obvious now. I think Fashola should give credit to his commissioners. Every developmental program in Lagos is attributed to Fashola, forgetting that it has been in the pipeline since Tinubu's era. The BRT scheme was started by Tinubu with his creation of LAMATA, and Muiz Banire was the commissioner for transport then. The beautification of Lagos as well as waste management is under the supervision of the Ministry of Environment, and who is the Commissioner? Banire. The Lekki Free Trade Zone already had a blueprint before Fashola became Governor, yet he goes about as if it was his idea.
Adams Oshiomoleh came to UI with only his car and no security.

And i wonder who identified Fashola, when it was obvious that he was d least expected to get the AC ticket in 2007. I know Muiz Banire as Commissioner for Transport under Tinubu, I never knew Fashola until he contested for Governor, so, how come he is the nurturer and Banire the nurturee, ?

hackney:
(even if he is eating some money some how, no problem as he is doing tangible things as well)
Infact he should be president

adekampe:
I ve been telling people since that this Muiz is the only person that can take lagos to new heights after fashola. .the guy is like a robot and never gets tired. once i went for an event at NIIA where he was the special guest of honor and he unbelievably drove himself into the venue in a busted toyota corrolla without any police or aides. . he had taken his seat among members of the crowd and had organizers panicking as to whether he would show or not until one of them spotted the young technocrat somewhere amongst the crowd possibly making changes to his speech.
Personally i dont agreethat he will hand over the treasury to tinubu. .there is now ekiti and osun so tinubu wil let lagos breathe a little and muiz will have funds and that undying energy to work and work for a newer and brighter lagos

i do belong to the group of people who will kick your azz when i catch you on these streets

sit your country azz down you savannah jawja kuntry bumpkin when i need a mahfuka to tell me how to make pickled pig feet, hogmogs, chittlins, pickled egg, cornbread, collard greens, neckbones, and grits ill come holla at you. till then zip it

buzugee:
well all that party is coming to an end now. doctors pay will be in the $50,000 to $100,000 region in 2 years time at most. most doctors are now retiring or running to panama and costa rica to set up private practices. apparently they were in it for the money and not to help the public

Kobojunkie:
This debate is not a new one. Assange is not the first person to leak confidential information and get to face the music for it. I know some of you probably think that the whole world started the day you gained consciousness but that ain't true.

here:
our comment ends in NL,

here:
1. If he's charged with Espionage, it means the cables are real
2. He's not insane and knew what he was getting himself into before doing that
3. Kill a fighter and you will only end up raising 10 of him who believe in his cause (even with those that have better/worse ideal and method than his)
4. It's not a fight of making the world worse than they were after his release,but the world being reminded by that leak, that we call animals animals because we think they are animals but in real sense we are worse as in all the world gatherings and dealings there is no sincerity, now France can look at USA and defend why their fathers never wanted dealings with them and pulled out of NATO.Now Iran will realize its not about religion anymore but a sense of existence if the King of Saudi can advice the head of the serpent be cut off.
5.We in Nigeria now confirm those walls called embassies actually know more than an average Nigerian knows about his country where he is a citizen.

Let us not let anger make us loose the big picture, according to Assange, (implied), its better I let u know as u are better of than die not knowing what is wrong, at least that is what the doctor does diagnosing , he tells us how it is, shows u the scans and you accept to be treated,
the world should be looking at a way forward with such much facts on those cables instead of blaming the young man, he's one of my best friends and I love to say it, bcz

I Love to see a dying man know why he is dying than feeling lost on the way out,
