DaLover: U r just a nincompoop hiding behind bombings and security to express your hate for the nigerdelta....

Demdem: Dacrazy, how many times do i have to tell u that whatever the retardeen is doing presently isnt working and bringing more deaths. is it until your entire household becomes part of the statistics before u stop sucking his cocck? U are very useless oooo, chai

tpapi: can u prove it dat there was an advance party

bbpreye: hw many of u have visited the riverine communities in Bayelsa? These people are suffering, though i belive its as a result of corruption, but GEJ shld try and look into thier case! We are blessed with oil, fish and ogogoro yet we suffer! @beaf, pls pass this to ur boss.

braine: "More bloodier"... Did they actually say that?

kaaycee: Sahara reporters, I dnt even know why pple give u guys attention, where did u get ur figures from ? the Aircraft he went wit cant even seat 25 persons. u people are no different from Bok Har.

aguiyi: 116?

afam4eva: If this is true then it's really a sorry situation. I'm sure those delegates also went with their personal assistants and cooks. O ma se.

Beaf: We are now used to the usual id!ots manufacturing "delegates" each time GEJ travels.
The desperation of election losers and pathetic mud-munchers in Nigeria is really scary.

Ibime: Going by the comments on this thread, I can see Nigeria has a long way to go.

An opposition leader is doing what opposition leaders do. Someone even said he has been reviewing all budgets in the Federation.

In that case, kudos to El-Rufai for holding Government to account and kudos to Peter Obi for responding to him in the spirit of democracy, unlike other governors who are not bothered and do not feel themselves accountable to social critics.

bbpreye: What has GEJ done for the Ijaw nation? ;->

The Ijaw people are gradually being empowered than before

Johndoe100: Should this question be asked or answered in such a hostile enviroment as this? I would love to discus this with other Ijaws but here? E get as e be.

Eziachi: You should have waited for the bloody June to come and go before speaking.

dayokanu: He is writing down the names like noisemakers names to submit to the teacher when he comes back from Staff meeting

Ngwakwe: Reps summon Jonathan, security chiefs over insecurity
JUNE 20, 2012 BY JOHN AMEH, ABUJA

House of Representatives on Tuesday summoned President Goodluck Jonathan and the security chiefs over the escalating bomb attacks in the North and general insecurity in the country. In its resolution in Abuja, the House observed that Jonathan, as the Chief Security Officer of the nation, owed Nigerians explanations on what he had done to contain the situation. The House condemned Sunday’s bombing of churches in Kaduna and Zaria, which claimed many lives. It also condemned the reprisals that followed the bombings in the two towns. The House also raised concerns over the near state of anarchy in Damaturu, Yobe State, and the wave of banditry in Zamfara State. According to the resolution, which received unanimous support, Jonathan is to appear before the House in a “closed-door session” to brief lawmakers on the security measures the government had put in place to protect lives and property. Many members, who debated the issue, feared that the country was “under siege” from terrorist groups, kidnappers, assassins and armed robbers. A member from Kaduna State, Mr. Yakubu Barde, had raised the issue under matter of urgent national importance. Barde said Nigerians were living in fear as they were not sure when the next attack would occur. He said, “How long will Nigerians continue to live in fear? “We have to give Mr. President the marching orders to get his security agencies to be more proactive.” Mr. Godfrey Gaiya advised the House to look beyond the states where violent acts were taking place and treat the crisis as “a Nigerian problem”. He said, “This is a Nigerian problem and it is sad that Mr. President is airborne to Brazil on environmental matters when Nigeria is boiling. “Over 100 people have been killed in Kaduna as we speak.” The Chairman, House Committee on Electoral Matters, Mr. Jerry Manwe, said Jonathan would have to explain to the House how he spent “the almost N1tn” he voted for security in the 2012 budget. Manwe recalled that the President, by his own admission, told the nation that the identities of those behind the violence were not hidden. The Minority Leader, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, told the House he was saddened to hear that Jonathan travelled out of the country at such a critical period. He said it demonstrated his insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians, who were at the receiving end of the security challenges. Gbajabiamila said, “It is very unfortunate indeed that he is out there in Brazil to engage in some sort of climate change conference. “The House has to take proactive steps; to call on Mr. President to appear and brief the House in an executive session on what he has done on the security situation.” An Action Congress of Nigeria lawmaker from Lagos State, Ms. Jumoke Okoya-Thomas, on her part, called on Jonathan to step down if overwhelmed by the security situation. She said it was an insult to Nigerians for Jonathan to have left the country for a conference in Brazil. Okoya-Thomas said, “He should step down; let him step down.” However, the Chairman, House Committee on FCT, Mr. Emma Jime, linked the escalating violence to 2015 presidential election. Jime claimed that the tension in the country could be reduced if Jonathan made a categorical statement on his plans for 2015. He argued that it was not enough for Jonathan to say that the issue was diversionary. “What is happening is an attempt to rubbish the Jonathan presidency so that it will not have the capacity to contest in 2015,” Jime said. The House rejected an amendment to the motion calling on the Federal Government to engage Boko Haram in dialogue. The session was presided over by the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal.

Tony Spike: The now controversial suit was filed by an Abuja-based lawyer, Mr. Amobi Nzelu, on behalf of Okoli.

Interestingly, Okoli is a counsel in Nzelu’s chamber.

The matter could no longer go on after Okoli’s statement.

alj harem: LOL my brother that was the problem I had with Nairaland as well

Well, it is because of people like dalover, beaf, andre uweh etc People like Alj harem exist in the cyberworld to put them in their places.

My brother these are bigots (both religious and ethnic)

Mandelaguy: The level of falsehood being spread around on social media against this govt is alarming. It just appears as if some people just sit down somewhere and concoct lies and transmit such thru a network of ignorant youths. Who says boko haram suspects are not being tried? I wonder whether these people travelled to Mars when a distinguished Lawmaker and former principal officer of the House, Senator Ali Ndume, was apprehended by SSS and charged to court. We would recall that he spent over a month in detention at kuje prisons before his team of lawyers got the court to admit him to bail. I also wonder whether these people have not been watching Tv to see the diligent prosecution of the accused persons in the independent bomb blast. About 7 boko haram suspects believed to have been behind some attacks in Niger state are still in detention following their arraignment at a Federal High court in Abuja. Following the ease with which a magistrate court in Abuja granted bail to some boko haram suspects, the security agents are now more cautious to charge these suspects to court. They prefer to detain them in their custody and secure overwhelming evidence for their diligent prosecution and also prevent them from being unleashed to the streets to cause mayhem again. That is the case with the notorious Kabiru sokoto, the Boko Haram leader who earlier escaped from police custody and was re arrested by the SSS. To demonstrate his seriousness over the Kabiru sokoto controversial saga, Gej sacked Hafiz Ringim as IGP and appointed Abubakar to replace him in acting capacity. Another Boko Haram leader, Abu quaca, is still in SSS detention. Let's cross check our facts pls

Demdem: What has he done to the list of Evil Boko sponsors he told us is with him? Why dont u let us start with that?
