causewahala: Why the midnight communication, dem dey do free call Could there be some midnight behind the scene on-goings we don't know about

Say what!!!


Anything can happen sha....

Ngwakwe: What makes it your concern.

Demonize any competent politician from Eastern Nigerian to force them to play second fiddle in Nigerian Politics.

The hidden Game Plan

Nonsense!!! This is‎​ not a matter of politics, but of security of lives and properties.

A building is‎​ demolished in his state capital and he maintains a "curious" silence.... Doesn't that show that either:

1. He's incompetent in the area of securing lives and properties of people in his state....
Or
2. He has a hand in the whole thing...

Pls note that you have the right to remain silent as anything you say will be used against you in my next post....

beemix: Your maturity and intelligent responses to negative ill comments is intriguing.. I only wish a lot of people on this page could learn to analyze and critize objectively thinking about the repull effect of any actions and not comment with beclouded sense of reasoning. Well,talk is cheap but wisdom is exquisite. I wish you a favorable result. Remember to share.

Colour Fixed!!

Ngwakwe: Did I forget something?

Yes!

You forgot to add that you typed the thrash above after smoking Indian Hemp mixed with ur Pubic hair..

Why is‎​ Rochas silent?? Didn't this happen in Owerri??

Why is‎​ there no "Ancestors' drink"...

PointB: At those who claim these traders were armed with dangerous weapons, how come there is no evidence such?

Why would the police and other moronic folks classified dual used object like machete, and defensive objects such as baton, wooden sticks as dangerous weapons?


Parading these traders like this because Fashola failed to do his job (clean the market) is height of inhumanity of Fashola. He clearly could have approached this matter in a more professional manner. By the way, when those other markets were closed, why didn't we see them parade people like these. Or are we saying, there are no daggers, machete, etc retrieved from those markets.

It is simply an act of savagery, and blatant barbarism the way these traders were treated. Fashola sooner or later will murder sleep!

Very predictable. Trust you to always defend ur criminal brothers...

Ladipo Market Traders Against Armed Thugs  

Published on November 13, 2012 by   ·   No Comments

Traders at the Aguiyi-Ironsi International Trade Centre at Ladipo, Mushin, Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria on Monday staged a peaceful  protest against armed thugs known as Bakassi Boys that have taken over the market.

The traders went round some streets in Mushin with placards to protest against the presence of the thugs and appealed to the Lagos State government and security agents to come to their aid. The protest which lasted several hours ended at the Mushin Local Government secretariat where they handed over a protest letter to the council chairman, Mr. Babatunde Adepitan.

Speaking during the protest, a leader of the traders, Casmir Ulasi told Adepitan that despite the arrest and detention of the factional leader of the market, Jonathan Okoli, the thugs he allegedly brought from the east known as Bakassi Boys, have not only increased, they are now unleashing terror on the traders.

“We cannot enter the market because the thugs allegedly brought into the market by Okoli have fortified themselves and refused to leave the place,” he protested. Ulasi accused the thugs of terrorising the traders with arms such as guns, machete and other dangerous weapons. They also rob and extort money from them, he added.

Former secretary of the market, Anthony Nwanzelibe, described what is happening in the market as unacceptable.

He said that many traders are being subjected to inhuman treatment and chased out of the market.  Another trader, Okey Imo, thanked the council chairman, Lagos State government and security agents for their efforts to sanitise the market. He said that more needed to be done because most of the traders are still outside and cannot enter the market because of the thugs there. Addressing the traders, Adepitan thanked them for their peaceful protest. He urged them to maintain peace while promising that their complaint would be forwarded to the relevant authorities for immediate action.

The market has witnessed leadership crises for the past three years during which some traders were attacked and injured.

One of the victims,  37-year old Ofoka Nnaji lost one of his fingers. Similarly, Solomon Eze and Ejike Maduabuchi nearly lost their lives during one of such attacks by the thugs.

Nwanzelibe who was secretatry to Okoli’s administration traced the crises in the market to the alleged inordinate ambition of the former leader to perpetuate himself in office. He said since the expiration of the tenure of his former boss, the market has not known peace.

The latest development was the arrest and arraignment of Okoli at an Ebute Metta Magistrate’s Court for his alleged involvement in terrorism, attempted murder, armed robbery, unlawful assembly,  displaying of arms and extortion, among others.  His plea was not taken.

The presiding Magistrate, Mrs. M.O. Olajuwon remanded him in prison custody at Ikoyi and ordered his file to be duplicated and sent to the office of the Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, for advice. The matter was adjourned till 3 December, 2012. P.M. NEWS learnt that Okoli’s counsel has gone to an Ikeja High Court to file an application for his bail.

I don't think it's a Good idea....

Seun: The monthly debate was started because the general forum was too rowdy to handle intellectual debates.
We want to make the forum good enough to make every thread in the politics section as good as a formal debate.

Sadly your words above show your limited knowledge of the whole concept of the Monthly Debate..

Once more I'll urge you to go through past debate threads and tell us how you intend to achieve that level of discussion in every thread in the Politics section..

With all due respect sir, I think you're trying to KILL one of the most educative and enlightening activity on NL..

PROUD-IGBO:


^^^Care to cite instances when 'the same people crying foul here' have jubilated over the same fate befalling Hausas'?- arresting people on spurious allegations and treating them like 'dirt'; closing down markets (for which tax/rates are paid) on claims of unsanitary conditions, even when it's the responsibility of the state and local authorities to clean these places on a daily basis and provide basic amenities like water and toilets; not providing an alternative site for the traders to go to while the gov't does what they're supposed to do by cleaning up the market. All these just point to a gov't that is brutal and uncaring, and by their actions they're making it very easy to paint them as very hateful; a gov't should have a 'human face' which isn't the case with Lagos.

Sensible IGBOs know that Fashola doesn't hate IGBOs.

The question is‎​: Aside being a proud IGBO, are you also a sensible IGBO??

tpia@:
i dont see why it cant be approved, unless there's something i dont know.

wont other first ladies also use it?

abi there wont be nigeria again after their tenure.

What will the current first lady use it for??

It's a senseless project and all well-meaning Nigerians must condemn this waste of our scarce resources..

Fashola said: “we do not need a Good Governance tour in Lagos before citizens know that their lives are improving. Completed projects such as the Ibeshe road in Ikorodu, the Mother and Child Centres in Amuwo Odofin and Alimosho and the completed school of nursing are examples of good governance.”

He listed other developmental projects embarked by the state to include the Mile 12/ Ikorodu road project, Yaya Abatan/College road, Okota-Ago palace way, Ejigbo Ajao Link Bridge and other roads network

Spot on!!

The PDP-led FG is‎​ very clueless. This silly Jamboree must stop!!!

If you're not happy, make sure Jonathan doesn't "Enter the Place" till you're pacified..

Oloshi!!

Bliss4Lyfe: To do business is now a crime. shake my head for Nigeria.

Doing business with GUNs, and dangerous weapons has always been a crime..

Shaking my head for the criminals..

Nonsense thread from a flat-headed, akpu-chopping cry-baby....

Item 1. Those are suspected criminals moving about with fire-arms which might be used for robbery, murder and other criminal acts..

Item 2. It's actually unfortunate what happened, however I expect you to be able to prove that she was arrested and detained for being IGBO. That's the only way to justify ur claim that it's a tribal persecution.

Item 3. Fashola closed a market that
A. Pollutes and destroys the environment, posing grave dangers to the health and life of Lagosians(including IGBOs in Lagos)

B. The market is‎​ a hideout for hoodlums and miscreants who have refused to pay tax or cooperate with the local govt.

C. Warnings giving were disregarded by the traders thus the closure..

Note that the closure isn't permanent as it will be opened as soon as the traders are ready to obey.

Where is‎​ my CUTLASS?? Uduaghan needs to be beheaded!!!

Does Fash have 2 heads?? ...and his Head is‎​ FAR BIGGER than Fashola's Head!!!!

Why Always Fashola??

Great vision from Fashola and Tinubu!!!

Urban engineers at DHI, the world-renowned Danish hydraulic research centre, carried out extensive scale model trials. Data analysis by computer models showed that the Great Wall would keep Lagos safe from the worst tidal surges that can be expected over 1000 years.”

9ja_I_hail:

To answer your question straight. Those men are security men who's duty is to guard the market. Now tell us is it a crime that they were employed to guard the market?

... And do you know what atrocities these innocent folks could commit with these fire arms at their disposal??

Who monitors their activities and calls them to order should they abuse their authority??

Are they trained law-enforcers??

While I don't support any form of barbaric treatment melted out on alleged or convicted criminals, I think these guys have a case to answer..

babapupa: While this was going on yesterday at Ladipo market, ibo leaders were hanging out with the Governor of Lagos State....




Eko o ni baje o...

Nice one!!

I guess our recalcitrant cry-babies have a clearer picture of the whole situation...

The Presidency yesterday defended the proposed N4 billion African First Ladies’ Peace Mission building project, saying that to abandon the project would not augur well for the image of the country.

Nonsense!!!

If Nigerians say no, then it's NO!!

Who cares what foreigners think??

Is‎​ it their money??

Afam4eva: [size=14pt]10 people banned. More to go...

Mr. Man, why not do ur job quietly??

Can't you do ur job without exhibiting "notice-me" attitude??

Seun: What party does Afam4eva support? I think he is Pro-GEJ.

He's anti-GEJ

Excellent!!

speaking with the journalists, Sulaiman said the state government had lots of issues with the market, ranging from hooliganism, lack of toilet facilities, degradation of the environment with diesel and fuel products. He added that the traders in the market formed another government.He explained that the taskforce officials came  to the market two weeks ago, but the leaders of the market did not show up.“There are serious trading going on  in the streets and there are lots of shanties here. We will make sure that this time around, proper sanitation is done by the traders before this market will be re-opened and they have to submit to the Chairman of Mushin Local Government Area,”
