[size=15pt]They have now detained FFK and obtained a remand warrant to further detain him beyond the stipulated time allowed by law. According to EFCC, the move is to enable their operatives to conduct proper investigation into how he got the =N=840million. But haven't we already established that before you arrest somebody, an investigator should have done their work and obtained all the evidence with which to easily nail him when they go to court, instead of shying away from court and looking for ways to detain the individual beyond what is allowed by law? I saw the president of the Nigerian Bar Association say on TV how an American politician who was accused of trying to sell president Obama's empty senate seat was charged to court and granted bail easily after he was arrested, because the authorities in charge had done their job. They were not disturbed. That man attended court at the fixed dates, a ruling was arrived at without much issue. From the court, it was straight to jail. These people, no matter how we hammer it, they don't repent. It cannot be that they don't know what is expected of them as investigators. There seems only one reason they are doing this - they are corrupt and the confidence, audacity and authority for them to be corrupt this way only comes from one place [/size] |

Chiwude:[size=17pt]I think I totally agree with you on these points. But we don't necessarily have to support an Igbo republic. We can support in the initial break away. But when the two countries break away, we all have to work hard our own internal domestic affairs. When you say "I also would like the Niger-Deltans to support an Igbo republic with all its subgroups united under one nation and one destiny" I really wonder where that is coming from. Are you supposing that if the Niger Delta has its own country, it would be looking for a way to destabilize a neighbouring country? When you have your country, your stability and your unity will completely be your own business. Your affair. Your sovereign affair. We have nothing to do with it at that stage except to hope that you make it through as a country because stable neighbours make stable countries. Another thing (which may be hard to do) is talk with the other stake holders of the SS and come up with another name for the initial break-away. Make it something fresh. Not Biafra or the reasons for the initial 1966 fight. Not all those reasons bear capital on the bargaining table today. And besides, too many people of the south did not agree with Ojukwu then. Replace the name, it does not matter. The end result is what matters. Bury the name completely, and you will get more people to be in the coalition than you thought. Of course when ND (and who ever else) breaks away, the name can be revived again if you wish. The point here is that the initial move to break away should not be called Biafra. Too many Igbos with too many diverse thoughts feel strongly that their own thoughts of what Biafra should be is what should be enforced that sticking in a disciplined way to the plan of a first break away, then a second one will be very difficult to be seen through. It will be diverse Igbo groups derailing the very process, trying to enforce their own ideas of what Biafra and the process should be. Many even still think they should fight a war.[/size] By the way, cheruv you know I have your real photo |

gidgiddy:[size=17pt]The question you ask in your 1st paragraph just reminds me how much a Rottweiler will never understand concepts like constitutional reform, policy making, etc., no matter how much he sits in front of the TV. Which tribe is ND? So indeed your personal view of this world has been so scrawnied by clear inferior intellect? Vision through inferior plus pre-historic lense of tribe. You also must believe that everyone else is as scrawny as you are, kantankerous to others, who anyway qualify to be enemies strictly based on tribe. You must see urself through a tribal lense. That must be the core creator of your very own identity. unfortunately, the Igbos have done a relatively poor job in creating a historic tribal identity worthy of the kind of respect they clamour for, in comparison with their neighbours. To answer you question, "which tribe is ND?" please... 1)Which tribe is Nigeria? 2)Which tribe is the United States? 3)Which tribe is Great Britain? 4)Which tribe is Australia? Can I go on? Don't think so. I am sure you can see the picture and can even go on in your mind. When you display this level of intelligence on a national platform like this, which self-respecting people will agree to be associated with you (and risk being seen to have ur same kind of reasoning)? About a referendum, we have seen Igbo clowns confidently beat their chests emptily like Nnamdi Kanu was earlier beating his chest on radio Biafra. Now everyone sees just how much was in there. So the idea that the ND will vote themselves unto you is quite delusional. The only reason we will do that is what I have said before (to immediately break away from the breakaway later). We will vote to be in whatever breakaway is being created without any noise just to achieve our agenda. Just as we did not make any noise when Igbos tried to claim GEJ because we smartly knew that we needed political votes. Jumping around in circles (with placards) and making noise does not always mean you are making progress. See the progress Nnamdi Kanu has made compared to the worldwide movement (and riots) he created and you'll understand what I mean. When it comes to asking or talking to stake holders from other kingdoms or ethnic groups, our fore fathers have been doing that for hundreds of years. If (and when) a move to secede is made, we know that is the right thing to do. You don't go and knock on the door of you would-be in-laws when the agreement for marriage has not been concluded between your son and their daughter. It seems you will be happy to think we may be like Igbos who did not get an agreement from the "over 30 tribes" in the region before assuming that their children should die for you in a disagreement in which they did not all agree with you in the first place, much less agree that their children should be sacrificed for.[/size] 1 Like |

Ugomba:[size=13pt]I am from the core ND in Rivers State and I was not really happy when Obasanjo was creating the NDDC in 1999/2000 (the exact year escapes me). I knew of course it would be an avenue for the thieves to steal and it would bring embarrassment to our region because after some years, it would become unavoidable, the question, "All the money that has been sent so far to the NDDC, what did they do with it?" I was really young then Unfortunately, when we got back into democracy in 1999, it was the thieves and criminals that immediately pounced themselves into power and every imaginable and possible position they could successfully squeeze themselves into. What we see in Nigeria today is the persistence of most of the criminals or products of the criminals in our polity. They may be dressed up today but in their hearts, they are still the ballot-carrying thugs that they were in 1999. Which is why they still hit themselves with maces, punch each other in the senate, climb over senate fences and tear their clothes in the senate. When piqued, the inner thug they have tried to dress up comes out. In the case of Rivers State, Odili enpowered cultists with money for political leverage and electoral bullying. That is how we ended up with a known militant as the chief security officer of the state under Odili. And it is agreed that Amaechi was the connection between the cultists and Odili (the facilitator). When Odili got out of power, there was unrest with the militants due to a disturbance in the flow of money to them and squabbles about who was superior. Pronounced became militancy (and Amaechi had to denounce them to save his political career). The Bayelsa State governor at the time also used the boys in the creeks. Both states have now evolved from that state with militants as power players along with corrupt govt officials and politicians who play the game along with them. End result is half-baked pple like Amaechi and Peterside and unfortunately, to a significant extent, gov Nyesom Wike (whom I must say at this point is trying) carelessly determining the direction for a to me, surprisingly ignorant masses, who unfortunately have been deprived of any other worthy political figures of note to look up to. I have to say that although Seriake Dickson is still a product of our political system since 2007 when he was elected into the house of representatives, he doesn't seem to be on the same low level as Odili and Amaechi[/size] |

[size=15pt]Even Abacha did not reason like this Even IBB did not reason like this. I make bold to say that just as the Biafran war may not have happened if we had another Major General in Ojukwu's place at the time, Nigeria would not be dragged further down into ethnic bigotry if we did not have the unfortunate situation of PMB in power. I still say we should vote for Ibrahim Shekarau in 2019. During his tenure as Kano governor, there was not one riot in notorious Kano. Ibrahim Shekarau impressed me in the 2011 debate in which GEJ did not participate, but in which PMB, and El-Rufai participated. He made PMB, El-Rufai an Nuhu Ribadu look like they came to joke clown in that debate PMB is a misfortune produced from the north People like IBB would have been thinking of mordernized ranches for these herdsmen. It is sad to say this but even Abacha might have been thinking along those lines. [/size] |

PNomsule:[size=13pt]Because the commander was there in the meeting and he said that what the constitution provides for is when the police is overwhelmed, the president can order that the military gets involved. From Olu Falae to Agatu to Jos and everywhere else were the Fulani struck, I think it had already been established, how well the police had been taking control of the matter. Some have also alleged that these people are not Nigerian Fulani (which we have not yet verified). In any case, if they must be involved in enforcing law and order (which I believe they should, on the instance of the police and not necessarily until all that beauracracy to get the president involved is gone through) it is not by assuring the governor that troops have already been deployed to Nimbo in the security council meeting and then ensure that not even one is around the vicinity. That is a punishable criminal offence in anyone's book I believe, and most importantly, in our law books.[/size] |

papadjaji:[size=13pt]I had these concerns too but I realized this can be properly checked when I listened to Ekweremadu. He said that just as state judiciaries are answerable to the central National Judicial council is independent of the executive and is in charge of disciplinary and other responsibilities within the Judiciary nationwide, so will the police be checked by central council that is independent of the executive. Already, the state governors fund the state police within their states heavily by providing a lot of the things they need to be effective in their states. So the states will fund and own the police but whereas the police remain answerable to any charges of crime, misbehaviour or violation of the Nigerian constitution in our courts of law, disciplinary (and other) control will be enforced by the central independent council. If a gov wants to sack/punish a policeman because he refuses to break the law on the gov's behalf, it will not work because the council is the one with powers to ratify it. He will be afraid to do the bidding of the gov in the first place because he knows he may do it but the central disciplinary council can deal very severely with him and the gov will not be able to save him from their hammer.

[size=13pt]SAN Femi Falana has said this morning on Channels TV's Sunrise Daily, that based on the fact that the Enugu State governor summoned a security council meeting in which the commissioner of police, Nwodibo Ekechukwu was present along with the Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Olufemi Akinjobi they both should be arrested and prosecuted for criminal negligence that led to the death of innocent lives and the destruction of property. He said because they chose to do nothing after being fully informed, people died. I have actually said the same thing here in another post of mine: https://www.nairaland.com/3080660/fulanis-must-allowed-graze-anywhere#45229574 They neglected to do their duty, a duty they are paid to perform. They failed to deploy any security personnel after the chief security officer of the state had done everything to make that happen. (Governors as CSOs are sometimes glorified CSOs with the present command/authority flow system). These were the words of the Enugu State governor in a televised press conference after the massacre:[/size] [size=17pt]“In the meeting, we received assurances from the Commissioner of Police that the Area Commander of SARS was on ground in Nimbo. That the Anti-Terrorism Unit was at Nimbo. That he was in contact with the Kogi State Commissioner of Police and reported suspected herdsmen grouping at Odolu in Kogi State preparatory for an attack on Nimbo and Abbi communities. That Police mobile force and conventional police were already drafted to Nimbo and Abbi communities. That he was in touch with the Area Commander, Idah, ACP Ikegwuonwu and had linked him with the Area Commander, Nsukka, ACP Monday Kuryas. Both men according to the CP reported that there were no traces of suspected herdsmen in Nsukka or Idah. “That he ordered the Area Commander, Nsukka to redeploy to Nimbo. That the Garrison Commander on his part assured the meeting that Military was already deployed to Nimbo. Let me state that the State Government provided logistics for these deployments. After receiving these assurances of deployments to Nimbo, I felt quite confident that we had done everything possible to forestall an attack on Nimbo.” “I have deliberately narrated what transpired at the Security Council meeting fully conscious of the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution pertaining to my oath of office. I am doing this in due discharge of my duties as Governor." [/size] [size=13pt]These are the people that were present in that security council meeting: 1)Garrison Commander, Brigadier General Olufemi Akinjobi who normally represents the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 82 Division Nigerian Army; 2)The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Nwodibo Ekechukwu; 3)The State Director of Department State Security Services (DSS), Mr. M.
