Policeman wey Oga dey steal hin salary dey ask stupid question ?  

The looters of 3 arms Zone are mortgaging his daughter's future just like they did his own, he's there asking questions.

Well, when is Mr President going to be principled enough to investigate, arrest prosecute, and jail the political oil robbers stealing subsidy money?

When will his police and ministry of justice arrest and prodecute the thieves doing oil round tripping on the high seas, defrauding Nigerians everyday?

When will GEJ get tough on these criminals and confiscate the commonwealth they stole with impunity?

It's not enough to commend and appreciate principled people, you must act and display the same virtue!

A trillion SSS cannot stop a movement when the time comes. Make dem still dey loot dey go.

Sowore will be the dumbest crook to ever own a news site if he was posting these stories because of big Brown envelopes.

I mean, who gives bigger brown envelopes than the Nigerian government, NNPC, petroleum Ministry and other retired military-politicians scattered all over Nigeria?

Sowore and his Saharareportes team will be very stuuuupid to keep releasing stuff on these people when he can easily make more money by Courting them. Ask the Duke of Thisday Newspapers and Other pro establishment dailies. They are in money!

Ask the holy holy 234next, they are broke!

Saharareporters is not the thief, the thieves and liars are all over three arms zone in Abuja. One day, their yansh will expose pass ghaddafi own. One day.

Nigerians are so used to being belittled and abused that it seems that we are used to it.  It will take a lot to get the Nigerian people enraged.

Eventually something must give. People can't be fooled and oppressed forever.

We can't build a democracy on NTA and all these jeun jeun media, forever tied to the apron strings of looters and pretenders.

We need loud, bold, independent media organizations. I see no other way.

Ignorance ti poju!

Per capita, Nigerians are probably near the top of the list of the biggest consumers of motivational and "positive thinking" literature on earth.

So go figure

False hope, reinforced by religious and social indoctrination = faux optimism.

Ayamsorry

naijababe:
And I hope ashawos and yahoo boys collect all to the very last kobo

Ase Edumare!

And these one's claimed they want to save Nigeria with their Fresh Air?

Damn! I remember this thread.

I Knew that dude was just spinning. I Wasn't fooled one bit!

Anyway, wherever you are, I hope PDP gave you a contract for your trouble

Some people and their religion sha. . Indoctrination ti poju!

Ask nothing of God. . .

Shebi OBJ and Mr President don solve the problem nah

RIP to the dead.

ghostofsparta:
What I don't understand is the N500,000 bail thing, someone please explain why an NDLEA suspect can be granted bail?

In Nigeria, if you wear a uniform, then you possess police powers and can detain people.  

Even pastors and nurses with uniform can detain.


This is the NDLEA act below, I see no power to detain Nigerian Citizens, investigate yes, detain in their "cell" or office not written there. Except I'm not reading it well.

My country is a funny country.

. . Yet the people we voted for will go on facebook to stupidly celebrate our abysmal UN human development index score.

I thought Simbi would be a grandmother by now.

The bako family has no car again, their daddy lost his job.

Anansewa is no longer married, she's now divorced.

Chike has not seen a river in a looong time, his uncle died, he now sells market at Alaba

Brother Jero left the bar beach, he now has a mega church at Lekki, come see "Miracle" for dia.

Akin no longer go to school, he's now doing Yahoo Yahoo.

The Drummer boy is now a big man, he's a Senator in Abuja.

Although i shouldn't be but, I'm a bit surprised at the number of people that claimed they missed this story when 234NExT broke it, especially those who frequent the NL politics section?

234next should not be walking this path alone though. Shame on us, shame on all those bootlicking worthless papers and journalists we have in Nigeria. Those recyclers of official propaganda. SMH

No wonder 234next failed. People no dey read am, but they believe NTA and Facebook fan page propagandists.

Shame on NDLEA

What Nollywood could not do. .

Kwam 1 must do a song for Baba Suwe sha o.

Nollywood star Baba Suwe beats drug rap after prison toilet watch

Fans and media follow three weeks of bowel movements, which produce no evidence that comedian smuggled cocaine in stomach

The scene could have been taken from one of the larger-than-life Nollywood films comedies that made Baba Suwe one of Nigeria's most popular actors. But a judge was deadly serious when she asked the comedian, who had spent three weeks in jail on suspicion of smuggling drugs in his stomach: "So you've been to the toilet how many times?"

Tens of thousands of fans, the national drug enforcement agency and two legal teams have been in thrall to the actor's next release, so to speak. But Suwe's failure produce a single bag of cocaine in any of the 18 or so bowel movements detectives have been closely monitoring has turned into an embarrassment for the agency – and a running joke in the local media.

Suwe, 58, real name Babatunde Omidina, is often cast as a goofy security guard in the wildly popular Nigerian film industry, known as Nollywood. But the roles appeared to have been reversed when, apparently acting on a tip-off, anti-narcotics agents arrested the comedian at Lagos airport on 12 October. They said scans revealed "multiple hyper-dense nodular particles in the upper gastro-intestinal tract, consistent with large amount of drug ingestion".

Alternatively, according to other officers interviewed by a newspaper, Suwe's bowel movements were consistent with overeating a local grain porridge known as garri.
Either way, prosecutors didn't get the discharge they were expecting. After three weeks of drug-free stools, an unimpressed judge, Yetunde Idowu, at Lagos high court said on Friday the actor was free to go with 500,000 naira (£2,000) bail.
Nigerians following the saga have been full of helpful advice on TV shows and internet chatrooms, much of it revolving around preferred laxatives.

Others claim Suwe invoked the same powerful juju as the nation's most famous musician. In 1974, afrobeat musician Fela Kuti immortalised his own experience at the hands of the drug enforcement agency with a now-legendary album. Kuti was hauled into custody as police waited for evidence of a planted joint he'd swallowed to avoid detection. Instead, with the help of his juju abilities – and fellow inmates – Fela went on to produce a clean sample – and the LP Expensive Shit.

Medical experts suggested Suwe's case was clear-cut. "Assuming they monitored the samples properly, it's medically impossible for him to have gone to the toilet that many times and somehow kept the drugs in him," Lagos-based gastroenterologist Shola Molemodile said. "Or if the bags broke and his behaviour somehow wasn't enough evidence, a blood or urine sample would have been enough."

The case has cast an unflattering spotlight on the agency tackling drug-smuggling in a nation known as a transit hub for heroin and cocaine to Europe. "This raises the question of how many people, who are less famous, are wrongly imprisoned as I speak," said Suwe's defence counsel, Bamidele Aturu.
Traffickers are increasingly using the poorly policed shorelines of west Africa as a transit point to Europe as law agencies crack down hard on drugs rings in Latin America and Asia. In 2008, 3,655kg of cocaine and about 11,000kg of heroin were seized by authorities in Nigeria.

Drug gangs also target old or disabled people as recruits less likely to fit traditional profiles of drugs mules, security officers say. In a shocking case in 2002, police in New York apprehended a 12-year-old boy who had swallowed 87 condoms of cocaine before boarding a flight in Lagos.
The agency has said it will offer an apology to Suwe; Aturu says his client may sue for defamation. "You don't keep a man locked up for three weeks and then pretend an apology is enough. Their officials had better start looking for new jobs," he added.

Yes Nnaemeka Ikegwuonu is an inspiring man. I read about his work few years ago. He won an international award too for his advocacy on behalf of smallholder farmers I think.


Nigerian Looters won't recognize people like that young man, if he was a "youth" political bootlicker, an embezzler of public funds or a clown actin' a fool on TV, they would have given him an award

Gbawe you don't have to bother yourself. Those who will learn will learn. 234next journalists have done their part and I expect them to continue. The rest is up to Nigerians.

Politicians will continue to do whatever we allow them to do. It's up to those who are feeling the sharp edge of misrule to save themselves. For now, It is GEJ's time.


As they say: Oba mewa, igba mewa. . . Enikan ko le lo ile aye gbo.

~One king can't rule forever~

PointB:

That got me cracking up.

Did somebody actually say that?  
Wonderful

Yes. She's one of my favorite Nigerians ever. No kidding

Nigerian govt officials don't suppose to earn more than $30.000 a year

Almost 5Million Naira a year?? what for?? What businesses are they creating for us?

Nah. 18K x2 is just fine.

dayokanu:
I thought the Nairaland GEJ spammer called beaf said he was heading to ACN?

I pity all those that believe the falsehood he peddles daily

I just say make I quiet before ni o

Maybe AGPA is now under ACN 




Afterall, "EFCC is under Yahoo Yahoo" - a la the amazingly eloquent Rita Kokolet Isoken   

Cut Yato si cut. So I'll wait to see the cut first.

If this Senators cannot make do with minimum wage of 18K plus 100% allowance of the same amount then they should leave policy-making and go start business. We need to grow our economy anyway.

To Pay these Armed Robbers anything more than that is to keep encouraging corruption.

Until we become one of the top 10 economies on earth, Political office holders should not earn more than double the minimum wage.

cheikh:
Kilode?!
I don't think it was intentionally removed or covered up per se. I think that our so called journalists are part of the Nigerian problem just like the rogue police force. They are lazy, ignorant and intentionally deferential to anybody that shows them ₦  .

How do you do Bro? Longtime no see? Mind you I've been off NL for a while. I'm getting a little exasperated with the new "democratic" Lucky Joe's government. Democracy now wears a new garb and the so called militants are quiet or rather contented because their son and daughter(Deziani-NNPC) are holding the purse strings of the federation . A lot of things are getting worse like Police impunity and delinquent soldiers on our streets.

Cheikh, My bro, long time really. Yes, I took a short break off NL. Glad to have you back too.

Well, I don't think anyone like you with a decent understanding of what our foundational problems are will be surprised. Until we face the truth and radically address those problems we shouldn't expect too much from these politicians. They are human afterall. GEJ will come and go, Nigeria's problem won't go away, until we address it fundamentally.

I know you are not surprised to see the same old same.

Now, I'm really curious about this Punch report. Bayelsa is the president's state and if you listen to the recent agitations going on in neighbouring Delta and the occupy noise we hear these days, it might be smart for any government to cover up an atrocity like this. It's a terrible story really, boy coming from church with mother, boy complained about police bribery in holy indignation, boy shot dead by police while running away with Holy Bible in hand, in front of his mother!

That kind of narrative in the hands of a skilled team of propagandist can lead to great chaos and terminate any careless government. It is similar to what occurred in Tunisia.

So, maybe my assumption is a reflection of deeper wishes but, it's very curious that Punch Newspapers took it off within a few hours and no one is reporting it except for a few Nigerian forum posts, and they all lead to the same dead Punch link. Except the story is fake.

I wish a daring journalist working in the ND area can track the mother down for an interview, I doubt she will want to bury this story.
