Gbam, I have watched the video over and over i cant see such…. Adiola, were is the 70 yr old woman they shot

Adiola was seeing visions.

linusbnn:
If ordinary local govt chairman can move with countless tugs and security men,why wouldn't she afford security too?. Damn qustn.

No local government chairman should be be moving around with countless thugs and security men. This is a public servant not a drug kingpin. It is the duty of folks like you and I to elect better leaders not wannabe capo de tutti capi.

vertueptime:
Shes a vip and it will remain that way for life

I have no problem with her being a former First Lady and this is not just about her. It applies to all former first ladies.

Lomprico2:
Are u not one of the dumbos?

Absolutely not, people like you who hail and protect the same people who are robbing you blind.

Lomprico2:
Ah ah! Why u forget to give urself one 'like' and one 'share' with that ur other moniker for this post? You skip am abi u no see am ni?

Why don't you go ahead and expose my other moniker. If I have such information about you I will expose you in a heart beat.

CHAIRMANMAO:
Go purse the sodier commot for her back then

Why should I do that? If you don't know your own rights why should anyone bother to protect them for you?

Hedonistically:
Start questioning from the likes of E-Money. Ordinary unknown hustlers with zero need for state protection. Question that first before ranting about why a former First Lady of the Federal Republic with the attendant exposure and vulnerability) should be entitled to state protection. It's just common sense.

You should also rant about it as well even if you can afford to rent the police. There are people close to you who probably can't afford it.
I am here at the politics section to rant as you put it. The former first lady is just another citizen as far as the constitution is concerned. She was never a queen, her position and that of her husband are not hereditary.
What is her vulnerability that does apply to you and your neighbors?

Hedonistically:
Ordinary fraudulent E-Money and similar people are guarded by policemen, let alone the most prominent living First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria?

Why is this so? We've come to accept so many abnormal things as normal in Nigeria.

lyntiffany:
iberibe bu oya.I will not allow myself to degenerate to your standard of reasoning which has deteriorated to an insignificant vacuum.

Poverty has permanently altered your thinking faculty. It is really sad there are so many Nigerians with low self esteem like you. Perhaps there should be a subject in schools where your rights are constantly taught to you. Mor.on.

redon12:
I want to join they Nigerian political system in my 20's , but I don't know a thing about how to join they political parties or how to start ..

You can start by joining a youth organization now. Are you passionate about serving people. Do you have leadership skills?
There are youth wings of different political parties as well, you can always start from there. If your intention is to be rich like Dino Melaye and flaunt the money in the faces of the poor people who voted for you please consider another career.
You can become a boxer like Mayweather and fight for your money, after that you can flaunt your money and do whatever you want.

lyntiffany:
oya go dismiss the soldiers nah......mtchewwwww!

Not only do we have a lot of bad leaders we have a multitude of dumb followers as well.

princy80:
Oga, even wealthy people that are not politicians have hired policemen as security escorts. Stop hating on the woman! Go and make money!

I am probably far richer than you are but I think it is wrong to commercialize the police. Police should not be for rent. If there's a need for private security the government should allow for that but the police should never be for rent.

PrecisionFx:
it's ur problem to fight for that. That Nigeria's has been destroyed by its leaders (hausa n yoruba) over the years does not mean I can't rent police to guard me n it doesn't also mean that a former president shouldn't get security... Meet up with ur senators n reps members to sort it out.

I absolutely think a former president should get security because they are valuable to our own security but not their wives, absolutely not.

Would you also be able to rent your own fire fighters if God forbid your property is on fire?

PrecisionFx:
It's cheap Sir.

Paying police n army for a day is usually around 3k - 4k per day.

normal people can even afford it.

Lol, it shouldn't be so sir.

PrecisionFx:
Nigeria is wealthy enough to pay for that, jta cheap.

I don't think so sir. Ordinary Nigerians are still not protected from crimes. Many crimes are never investigated let alone solved and you waste resources by following a few people around?

PrecisionFx:
The family does.

They receive free secret service security for life

It has not always been like that and United States can afford it, Nigeria cannot.

kitaatita:
Washington (CNN) – With the stroke of a pen Thursday, President Barack Obama gave himself and his wife Secret Service protection for the rest of their lives.

The new law, which passed the House and Senate in December, designates that all former U.S. presidents who served after January 1, 1997, along with their spouses, receive protection from the Secret Service for their entire lifetimes – meaning former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura are also covered. The law also stipulates that children of presidents receive protection until the age of 16.

politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/01/10/obama-signs-bill-gets-secret-service-protection-for-life/

United States is the richest country on earth and they can afford it. The law has not been consistent in U.S, Clinton's protection was limited to 10 years when he left office.
While Emoney and Patience are being followed around who is protecting your own family?

PrecisionFx:
We don't have a constitution Sir. People in power do whatever they like....

I agree with you sir.

oshe11:
Emoney was elected by YOU ba

Exactly, and you live in a country where robbers will rob from house to house for hours and no police will ever show up.

kitaatita:
United States for instance. You don't have to like Mrs. Jonathan but the position her husband occupied comes with some perks

Who told you Mrs. Obama or Mrs. Bush are given protection for life? The former presidents yes, but not their wives.

princy80:
What kind of question is this? She get money to pay them nah, does the post state that they are provided by FG?

The police should not be for rent no matter how rich you are.
If the first lady is attending an event where security or crowd control is an issue that is understandable but to be followed around for life to protect her is beyond foolish. Her life is not more important than any other woman in Okrika.

kitaatita:
That's the wife of a former president of Nigeria; she is entitled to government protection for life.

Please what other countries do we find such practices? Protection against what for life?

nurshah:
Guy abeg quietly call upyour friends in security agencies for clarification ..no dey expose your ignorance internationally

Are you freaking stupid? Where's is the office of the first lady in the Constitution of the country? Is that how former first ladies are followed around in other countries?
You morons will just come online to shoot your ignorant mouths.
There are too many foolish people in this country this is why our leaders are doing whatever they like knowing there are millions of idiots like you they cab ride like donkeys.

Tolexandre:
cos she's a former first lady

There's nothing like the first lady in the constitution.

niceprof:
Because she is the wife of the former president and COMMANDER IN CHIEF ,OF THE ARMED FORCES of the federal republic of Nigeria.

And so freaking what? She was never elected by anyone. She doesn't have the right to be followed around by soldiers any more than any market woman in Okrika.

totit:
Oga, abeg no fom my hand. You, don't tell me you believe the she-he aba thing is yoruba. Can't you see the ipod trait in him, the fear and panic at the presence of military men

Mtchew

I knew she wasn't Yoruba at all. I was just going by what she said.

kingschidozie:
Al Jazeera Africa
some have blamed the recent outbreak of Monkeypox virus on free medical care given by the Nigerian military few months ago in Bayelsa, an oil rich state in the country's southern region.
If this allegation is true, what could be the military's intention?

Where's is the link to the AL jazeera story? You obviously made a snapshot of someone's comment and making it look like it was an AL jazeera story.
This is deceptive.

Adiola:
it is people like you that five the impression to people that Igbo's and Yoruba's are not in good term for your information I have stake in both tribes and I won't watch the army kill my mother's people now run off

But you refer to the people from your father's side as afonja? Isn't that what you call omo ale in Yoruba?

LordOfNaira:
Oh, so you are a Yoruba who has traveled and now lives in the East calling Kanu our leader ?

You have busted yourself already. You can't repair the damage.

That fellow is one of the most hilarious ipobians on nairaland.

Adiola:
they are still shooting oh they just shot at someone goodness me an old woman probable in her early 70s

Are you sure they are not a bunch of criminals looting the residence knowing the occupants are in hiding.
The army will not steal furniture and television sets.

Adiola:
they are beginning to shoot and I don't k ow exactly who or what they are shooting at ......I will soon upload the video

The fugitive is probably hiding not far from his father's house.

libertyhope2017:
I give it up to IPOB for being able to move Nnamdi Kanu despite military presence. It takes a high tech organization to safely move Nnamdi Kanu despite military 24/7, realtime surveillance. Nnamdi kanu made a news conference 24 hrs before his house was invaded, how in the heck did the military lose him? If this news is correct, it shows the incompetence and uselessness of Nigerian military.

Now it is kudos to them for being able to hide effectively! It is not kudos for being brave enough to follow through on what they promised their gullible followers.
