Longeria: Bunch of fools, they should add the fifth one, don't sleep with your wife. It's painful to realize that Amaechi and co who are desperate to stop the president getting second term are all in thier second term as governors.
HYPOCRITES.
I want Jonathan to know that the worst defeat never come from battle fought and lost, but from the one never fought because of cowardice. Go ahead and contest, let nigerians decide.

icon aus: you re wrong . some of you pretend not to know what is going on or are ignorant . The presidency went to the unexpected region which is not born to rule or yoruba hence the problem GEJ is having . just his root . The problem is that some people/tribes are not comfortable with where the president came from hence the attack and GEJ while trying to fight back he is labelled ethnic president . Some people are afraid of the rise of old eastern region hence the smear campaign and pull him down symdrome. The huasa and the yorubas should know that this country belongs to us all . So far GEj has out performed all other former presidents despite the security challenges . Nigeria is watching . I dont know how some people reason . You make the nation ungovernable to GEJ and u expect others to make it easy for your tribes man when he climbs the seat of presidency ; that is not possible . The south south had all along been supporting northners and s west even during the civil war and see how they are being repaid . I think they will fail . GEJ must be president till 2019 or no nigeria.

berem: If you do not need amaechi for re election, why is jonathan haunting him and suspending him? Your argument is baseless and holds no ground for saying Amaechi is arrogant. Tell me, who's more arrogant than the president himself and his wife who go about causing mayhem and feeling like demi gods?

take dat: Even though I admire your desire of unraveling the ineptitude of our political leadership, but areas such as those in the pictures are almost everywhere in the country. It does not mean those places are worse than what obtains in many parts of the country.

duality: Can he really win the senatorial position? I don't think so. I may be wrong you know

Promhize: Pls, am not trying to derail this thread but because I'm 1st to comment.
I'm Igbo and I want to say I'm totally disappointed in my Igbo brothers that are laying claim of any sort to the development of Lagos.
I don't care if your father owns $10billion worth of estate and landed property in Lagos, let's not deceive ourselfs, if it hurts anyone of us so bad, let's go back and develop our land too, after-all onitsha has the largest market in west-africa.
U guys are making a joke of Igbos on here, stop laying stupid claim on lagos, ve u ever seen anybody with Uche, Nnamdi as surname from Lagos.
If we own as much as we claim in Lagos, what does Lagos and southwest have in terms of resources that we don't have, stop arguing stupid blind arguments on here.
We Igbo's are the problem of ourselves, most Igbo when they make it in the west only go back home to build mansions just to show off.

Enugu has coal in commercial quantity
Anambra has oil, with its trademark 4 to 5 storey buildings which only need painting to beautify onitsha, not to forget the tourist attraction anambra. Igbos are known to be good, witty entrepreneurs - we revolutionised the transport system which is evident in companies such as ABC, young shall grow and so on, innoson motors is producing in Nigeria!
Abia has oil, invest aba-made shoes - Celebrities are now wearing Nigerian designers, who said Nigeria's Nike, addidas can't come out of aba, china started small remember.
I'm a student, I live in the southwest. My dad owns a land and house in the southwest, that does not mean I should come here and start laying claim to Lagos, that's pure stupid and childish.

Nobody should qoute or reply me, just like if u want to.

dayokanu: But In Edo State ACN has the governorship and majority of the Senate seats

exxell: [b]Just pointing out the fake promises. Please Nairalanders, when does; target, plans, thinking about; translate to GEJ working? Why are Nigerians always hypocritical? Like someone said on a thread one day; "THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH NIGERIA IS NOT CORRUPTION. RATHER, IT IS HYPOCRICY. We all complain of bad governance in our daily lives... But we come online to spew thrassh same everyday on Nairaland, praising the same leaders who milk us dry. Just take your time to read this script below

In 1983, Bamanga Tukur was the Governor of the defunct Gongola State (now Adamawa & Taraba) and 30 years later, he is today the Chairman of the ruling Party, The PDP.... God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has your striking thunder finished?

Dr. Bello Halliru was commissioner in the Old Sokoto State (now Sokoto, Kebbi & Zamfara) and 33 years after, he is today the Minister of Defence.... Arise O Lord, Let thy enemies be scattered!

Major General David Mark(rtd) was the military governor of Niger State in 1984 and 28years later he is today the Senate President..... Chineke, inokwa ya ihe nkea ana eme?

Gov. Murtala Nyako was the governor of Niger State in 1976 and 36years later he is today the Governor of Adamawa State... Sango of Yorubaland, need you be told that enough is enough?

Ogbonnaya Onu was governor of Abia State in 1992 and 20years after he is today the National Chairman of ANPP.... Amadioha of Igboland, I thought they said that your monday hammer comes handy in situations like this?

Gov. David Jonah Jang was the governor of Benue State in 1985 and 27years after he is today the governor of plateau state. He contested for the chairmanship of the NGF, lost, formed his own faction and still remains in power... Avenging God were are you?

Martins Elechi the Ebonyi State Governor is over 80 years old! Jehovah Nisi!

Only in Nigeria is this possible, where the youth of today have no hope into the future! Where do we go from here?

People Deceive People (PDP), 1985, IBB was the president of Nigeria and our teachers told us that Buhari was the former Head of state..Our teacher also called us "the leaders of tomorrow".. 27years later, IBB and Buhari are still contesting for Presidency..Its either our teacher lied to us about being the leaders of tomorrow..Or tomorrow is yet to come.. Who's fooling who? Some of us ran out of the country,Obasanjo went abroad chasing them,telling all nations to deport Nigerian youths. Let's stand and fight for our right cos we are the leaders of Today... We can't continue like this. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH![/b]

kaorama: I have always known that a GEJ Presidency is better than a Rochas Vice Presidency. If Rochas like let him go and build hostels in University of Ibadan as he has promised, Tinubu will never give him Vice President slot in APC.

It is indeed disturbing that your supposed understanding of the legal system is based on shrewd personal perception and sets of assumptions formed on a very wrong premise.

One of the principles of the rule of law states that "The process by which laws are enacted, administered and enforced is accessible, fair and efficient". You referenced George Zimmerman's case in your earlier post. Now, Zimmerman was set free even when it was established that he "followed" Treyvon, and in the ensuing confrontation which he obviously caused, shot an unarmed Treyvon. Zimmerman was discharged not because he wasn't guilty of killing Treyvon, but because of the controversial stand-your-ground law, which his defense was based. Even the US attorney general Eric Holder and other high ranking lawyers didn't agree with the law neither with the verdict.

Since you claim to be a sound Nairaland lawyer, you should know that laws must pass a general test of validity: not repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience or incompatible either directly or by implication with any law for the time being in force, and also must not do injustice. The stand your ground law didn't do the course of justice, neither it circumvented it..

I am not advocating for an accused person to lose fundamental rights, but that the course of "justice" should be upheld in the dispensation of law and not just for laws to be literally interpreted and arbitrarily executed by the court.

No set of laws in the world is perfect, and when i say that our criminal justice system is flawed, it doesn't mean that the court didn't act within the prevailing laws, but that our laws are deficient and thereby wouldn't serve the cause of justice at all times. Kapish?

THE LAW IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN INSTRUMENT TO SERVE JUSTICE, and when justice is not served in law, then the purpose would be considered defeated.

3: mit·i·ga·tion
/ˌmitəˈgāSHən/
Noun
The action of reducing the severity, seriousness, or painfulness of something.
Synonyms
alleviation - relief - palliation - extenuation

The law was used to reduce the severity of Mr. Lloyd's murderous actions.

On the other hand....

By collateral attack, I mean challenging the validity (not legality) of the relevant laws or decisions by which Chidi Lloyd's trial is based.

4: I guess you have the right to interpret it anyhow you like: 'Like every other" does not intend to make him a criminal, neither it was used to highlight similar behavior exhibited by people whom have been legitimately accused of wrongdoing and incarcerated.

Mr Aboki: [b]You don start again abi?!

Talking nonsense that you know nothing about..

What did our Justice system do now?! Was the case not a bailable offence?! So you expected the court to hold him in prison indefinitely. Now let me teach you yat another lesson in law. Even murder suspects can be bailed under certain conditions. Most times when bail is denied a suspect, its either the evidence around the case is so heinious that the suspect might be a threat to the society, The suspects life is being threatend and his safety outside the prison walls is not guaranteed, the suspect is a flight risk or the suspect is a repeat offender. Chidi lloyd is none of the above. Infact, he can be granted bail based pn personal recognition. The max the court would do is to take away his passport and travel documents. #LessonNo.1

Rivers people dont need a thank you from him, rather Rivers People are thankful to him for stopping those coup plotters that tried to unseat the government of Rivers State using cheap street thugs. God also loves Chidi Lloyd. Chidi defended the unity of Rivers State. If faced with another ugly situation like that, we expect no less from him.

Chidi lloyd is not a criminal, be careful how you speak. For you to call someone a criminal, they must have first been 'convicted' of that crime. Since he has not been found guilty of that crime, nor does he have any previous convictions that we know about, he is not a criminal and should not be reffered to as a criminal. Thats why the Police use the word 'Suspect', thats why the law says 'Innocent until proven guilty'. You can be sued for slander & defamation of character right now by Mr. lloyd and you would be found guilty . #BeWarned.. #Lesson No.2

He can sue the Police for inhumane treatment. The police does not have the power to torture anybody in their custody. Infact the police cannot hold a suspect for more than 24 - 48 hours without charging him or her to court. The Police cannot hold him for that long, keep flying him from one place to the other without allowing him full access to his lawyers. Even if Chidi is truly a killers sef, he still has rights. Even a convicted criminal should not be tortured under the law. He may get hard labour, but never torture. Ihunwo reserves the right to file a civil suit against Chidi and claim both punitive and compensatory damages to whatever amount he pleases, but that does not stop Chidi from suing the Police. #Lesson No.3

Our Law and criminal justice system has not done anything wrong in this case so far. Even Oscar Pistorious was granted bail in the case of Murder. O.J Simpson was also granted bail on a 250,000$ Bond during his own murder trial. George Zimmerman was granted bail on a 150,000$ bond in the Treyvon Martin murder trial. So is it a case of assault that sholdnt get bail?!





Na wah for you o!! I hope you are not with the Police. Na your type go see simple accident case, call am attempted murder with a dangerous weapon.

Well, even though anything goes in the jungle called Nigeria, we are supposed to be running a semblance of constitutional rule. I may not want to join issue with your warped sense of naked power. I bet you, OBJ was even more obsessed, but didn't get away for too long. Democracy is a self-cleansing system of governance that abhors impunity! Thank God for periodic elections. Even the man you call retardeen knows better than you assume. Chidi Lloyd cannot be detained forever! He would go home free, someday!

Toktee: I told you to see a doctor for your eyez b4 you will go blind but you refused now see what it has cost you,someone is supported by two people to walk yet your eyez has refused to see.........the bible is complete where it asid"THEY HAS EYEZ THAT CANNOT SEE".

dirifred: what a dumb question, are you ok at all?

pistol: All these people should just die and leave us alone.
An old f0ol trying to reinvent himsef.
They all litter the Nigerian landscape...
East..west...north n south..
They all better hurry up and die and give us the young generation chance to assert ourselves.
