Ogoni militant: I would have challenged you on this issue but when I checked your profile, I realised you just became a member just last week. I now realised you are using a Igbo moniker to confuse Nigerians. You are a Muslim Arab no doubt about it. Please take your story to your people. We know you guys better. You are such a dimwit/ slowpoke. A defender of evil. You all will soon be exposed. I am very sure you are the same person as Onyeocha, if you like register in many names we can spot you.

What "evil" was @ikenga defending? because u hv no ground or any fact whatsoever to fault what he expressed u picked on his recent membership and called him names. Na wah o for all these watery brain fellas on nairaland. Either u dudes like it or not @ikenga and @onyocha make so much sense are on point. May be not for all u shallow thinking fellas here.

Maxymilliano: Very irresponsible of a father to openly make this type of claims.

You trained your daughters up to master degree level in Ivy league schools, yet they couldn't compete with their 'less fortunate' peers in the labour market for the few available jobs but instead depend largely on nepotism and favoritism.

Little wonder a former senator regretted sending his kids abroad for studies.

Irresponsible fathers, irresponsible kids!

I admired El-Rufai but for what it's worth I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR OPINION.

My heart trembles everytime I imagine a man utd without SAF.

I have only known and followed one man utd. And that is the one managed by SAF.

LONG LIVE SIR ALEXANDER, THE GREAT

LONG LIVE MAN UTD

abbeynoni: Hello house, I will kindly appreciate every1's response. I have a friend who has jus been invited for medicals burr the issue is he has a S.C genotype which is sickle cell in nature though he is not the sick sick type. His sickness is a slight malaria once in a bluemoon. He has been restless since he got the invite for the medicals as he feels genotype might be taken into consideration. Pls does one genotype affects medical resultz?

It greatly depends on the nature of job and policy of the company concerned.

But in most cases, employers do play safe and not engaged people with such conditions. In truth, I have seen recruitment process halted for that very reason. Only that it won't be disclosed.

I wish the person all the best.

@op some things are not meant to be questioned. One of such is a man's love for football.

One of the very few things a man falls in love with very early in life is that round object. Or can't u see hw a young kid sobs if he is deprived of the chance to run about with a ball when he really wants to. Now imagine him growing up with that love, that passion. Such is a man's love for soccer.

I understand your concern because I had similar challenge with my wife in the early days of my matrimony. Understanding and tolerance from my wife saw us through. That is exactly what relationship is all about. Tolerating each others weakness because a man's love for football is a serious weakness that CAN NEVER be overcome.

Now my wife prays that Man Utd wins always because that is a source of happiness for.

PROUDLY MAN UTD

Finally, nemesis has caught up with those Mokola policemen.

If you have ever been unjustly harassed in the name of stop and search operation by those guys you will agree that was nemesis.

Sometimes in January, I was rushing to meet someone at Cocoa House and there was heavy traffic 'cos of the on going construction work under that mokola bridge. I got down from the car and boarded a bike taking only my laptop bag. Almost instantly, I was stopped and was asked to follow them to the station. I felt like it was a dream. Upon my asking why, the two policemen said "move now or we drag u".

I had nothing to hide, so I followed them to their station. On getting there, they took me to one inner chamber where if anything had happen no-one will hear a thing. I was asked to identify myself which I did to the very best anyone can.

Before that, I asked them to let me call my colleague who was also in the car with me to update him of my whereabout. They declined and immediately confiscated my phone.

They took my laptop from my bag and requested that I compromise my password by telling them. I had to do it because it wld be stupid to refuse. They poured other content of the bag on the floor without any care. They found two external hard drives and two personal cheque booklets among some other things. Then came their accusation that they seriously suspect I WAS A YAHOO BOY, and hence they must scrutinize me thoroughly. They ransacked my laptop, storage device and phones. Read all my official documents, personal communications with friends and families as I watched on in heavy heart.

Eventually, when they could not find anything incriminating they asked " why do only u have two personal cheque booklets". At that point, having been delayed for more than two hours, missed my meeting and denied access to communication, my heart was hardened and started responding with annoyance. I told them that I am not aware it is now a crime to have as many as possible cheques. And that I will surely seek legal redress.

Eventually, they released me and I had to do damage limitation for the delay, missed meeting, and the incommunicado state they put me which proved very costly in later days.

I WISH THEM MORE OF SOLDIERS' BEATING. AMINNNNNNNNN

walesmann: (5) There was an erroneous credit of N102,000 into poster's GTBank account , and he spent N60,000 from that erroneously. The most honorable thing to do is to pay back.

[b][quote author=walesmann]But @op is claiming he neither deposited nor withdrew during the period in question.

That is where investigation on the part of the bank comes in. If it is established that he actually deposited and withdrew with proper documentation, then good for the bank. But if not, then there is serious infraction somewhere. And that needs to be sorted out.

sammoR: But oga maj007 its ur mind dats closed naa. There r 2sides 2everything ive said. My mind is to yab u small buh Nigerians hate the truth. The perception of almighty gtbank oppressing d innocent is sooo wrong. What I've said is dis: if truely he withdrew d funds mistakenly paid in2 his acct which appears 2b d crux here then he has no case. If he does have a genuine case I'm sure by d time he talks 2d branch manager or raises enof dust som1 will give it attention. lets not appear 2condone dishonesty is all im saying. Its y corruption thrives. Pls see d possibilities from both sides n not one o.k.

If u go thru all my posts on this issue, u will see that there is no place where I said or implied that the Op or GTB is right or wrong. Rather I advised on how the guy can get his money if his claim is VALID as well as build a case if GT is not ready to investigate.

As for the "yabis", do that as much as you like. Afterall this is nairaland. People do that all the time. Itz not new. If you even need a mentor on that I can recommend a few usernames for you to follow. Lollll

sammoR: Lol@ ur claims n apparent ignorance. Abeg make I leave una b4 e turn somthin else. Maybe d lady talked to him in a manner that wasnt o.k or somfin buh one thing is sure, if he did withdraw those funds that were not his, he shldnt just even start cos its a lost cause. D best is 2negotiate. Call cbn or even cjn ur case will be thrown out as many times as u present it. If its like that then armed robbers with excuses of joblessness shld be set free nau. Abeg

It will be good if u really hushhh it.

Your mind is not open to unbiased conclusion of this case.

So many things can happen.

What if the deposit and the withdrawal are actually fraud from an in-house teller. Or have u analyse the deposit and withdrawal documents for the transactions.

Yes, that has happened to me personally.

Give the guy the benefit of the doubt first.

Habaa, so much for all these rookie bankers.

madejibo: Oga ex staff, I do not doubt that money was withdrawn in my current account but what is the bone of contention here is who did? i am also very sure i did not pay in money into that account, i have asked for the ticket used to pay the said sum of 10,200 naira and GTB has refused to give me

Then start building up a case taking those steps I had stated above.

Keep watch on the thread, I might later in the forward a couple of email contacts @ CBN who are always glad to take up issues like this.

hotD: @sweet nigga-no banker would give u ur father's balance wen ure not a signatory to d account.
Op's,
I think what happened here was that,ure current account was wrongly credited by a teller,and u had withdrawn d money before they could do a reversal of d transaction,anyway d reversal was done,and this made ur acct to be overdrawn,and wen an acct is in debit it accrues interest,d interest till date is d amount u are asked to pay.and note that because of dat initial withdrawal ure account must have been watched closely.
And also dis idea of d customer is always right is so not ok,dats y wen customer's come to d bank,they hadly want to hear what u are telling dem and get d whole tin mixed up abi wen una go hospital una they argue with una doctor.

Anyway am talkin as an ex-staff and I know how annoying average customers cld be,u hardly hear a word from d very big boys.
Dats exactly wat happened OP.

Good perspective. Nice one...

@ op I am quite surprised u r an ex-banker and yet u don't know how to go about this.

One thing is sure, if u are not owing the bank "IN ANY WAY" you will have your money back.

First, request for the statement of your account from a branch of the bank where u have not been tagged "troublemaker".

Second, review the statement thoroughly and identity any strange inflow and outflow. If u can't, give it to someone else who can.

Third, if after that u are still convinced that your claim is valid, write officially to the bank explaining your case explicitly. Get the letter delivered to your branch and get it acknowledged in hard copy. If after 7 days u still hear nothing from them, write a reminder and make it know that if reversal is not made within 7 days u will seek legal redress. Get that one to acknowledged in hard copy.

Fourth, if nothing on the expiration of the ultimatum, get a lawyer. Explain to him and show him all the documents at your disposal.

It may take time bt u wll surely get justice.

Shikenna.

All the best.

taharqa: Cud you be kind enuf to point out d part of d message you want us to x-ray?? I mean, d part that made any pint of Sense to you..Thnks in advance

The message is simple. GEJ seems more interested and focused on coming back in 2015 than good governance.

- corruption reigns supreme under this administration. To me, he even supports it judging by the recent pardon. Without state pardon. Alams cannot contest. Contesting and winning by him will strengthen GEJ's position come 2015.

- none of the curruption cases brought up under his administration has been brought to any logical conclusion. Looters roam our country freely. Mention any concluded case for me.

- he is the commander in chief of the armed forces for God's. Using the that power will end BOKO Sh1t within days. Bt for political reasons he won't. He will rather tell us they are ghosts.
It stinks to hear that from supposedly the most powerful man in the country. He even said they are in his government. That means he knows them. Why not flush them out and end this killing.

I voted for GEJ, bt will not make the same mistake again. He is simply not ready to govern as he should.

Forget whether the writer has any ulterior motive. SOMETIMES WISDOM COMES FROM THE LEAST EXPECTED SOURCE.

It seems to me that people will pick issues with the MESSENGER rather than x-raying the MESSAGE.

Below is a piece by a Nigerian published in the UK GUARDIAN.

TRUE or NOT

http://m.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/apr/02/nigeria-jonathan-boko-haram

"There is a joke about a morgue attendant who was so used to seeing dead bodies that one day, when a supposedly dead body started twitching, his response was, "this is the morgue, not the emergency room". He promptly smothered the twitching body until it was well and truly dead. "That's more like it", he said, as he sat down to guard the cabinet full of dead bodies and to wait for new arrivals.

In many ways, the way Goodluck Jonathan has handled the affairs of Nigeria since becoming president can be likened to that of the morgue attendant. And worse still, Nigeria under his administration has grown to become a vast, sprawling mortuary where deaths and dead bodies do not seem to matter at all. In the aftermath of Jonathan's visit to Maiduguri, the trouble northern city under attack by Boko Haram, in security operatives reportedly dumped about 70 bodies at the morgue, up from the daily average of 10 or 20.

Like the morgue attendant in the story, when about two years ago, the Borno state Elders Forum met the president and asked him to order the withdrawal of troops from Maiduguri to enable them take a different approach against the jihadist group, Jonathan flatly refused. In the two years since, how many more lives have been needlessly lost in the fighting? His attitude seems to be, "I'd rather preside over dead bodies than save lives".

Accepted, Jonathan took over a country that was severely distressed. But what is the job of the president? For someone who has spent the last 14 years in power at the state and federal levels, the excuse that he is still studying the situation is one of the lamest apologies in political history. Either deliberately or inadvertently, like the morgue attendant, Jonathan's actions and inactions all seem geared towards killing Nigeria off once and for all.

Why was it that when he was eventually shamed into visiting northern Borno and Yobe states by opposition governors, his response to calls for an amnesty for Boko Haram was, "We can't grant amnesty to ghosts". Within a week of his mindless retort, another 25 Nigerians had been blown to smithereens in Kano. Since he can't grant amnesty to ghosts, perhaps, he can grant amnesty to dead bodies?

Incidentally, more and more Nigerians are beginning to suspect that the deteriorating security situation may be more than the handiwork of Boko Haram. More than ever, there are growing fears that some, if not many of the attacks attributed to Boko Haram may be the work of other "ghosts" beyond the militants, whose ultimate objective may be to divide Nigerians further along ethnic and religious lines for political advantage. The very nature and timing of some of the attacks on churches and some ethnic groups lend credence to that supposition.

Is this the same Jonathan who told us on his inauguration that, "Today, our unity is firm, and our purpose is strong, our determination unshakable. Together, we will unite our nation and improve the living standards of all our peoples whether in the north or in the south; in the east or in the west. Our decade of development has begun. The march is on. The day of transformation begins today. We will not allow anyone exploit differences in creed or tongue, to set us one against another?"

Perhaps, Nigerians should not be surprised at what Jonathan has become. From the supposedly timid state governor and vice president, we now have one of the most calculating and thick-skinned leaders, totally deaf to criticism. The only thing on his mind seems to be to retain power beyond 2015 while allegedly helping friends and cronies accumulate wealth. After all, when he was asked about politicians declaring their assets in public, he said: "The issue of public asset declaration is a matter of personal principle. That is the way I see it, and I don't give a damn about it, even if you criticise me from heaven."

Which is why the condemnations of the pardon he granted to Diepreye Alamiesegha, a former state governor who stole millions of dollars and jumped bail in the UK after disguising himself in as a woman, are likely to fall on deaf ears. It is why, even with a daily income of $224 million, Nigerians are among the poorest people on earth. It's why we have 68 million people unemployed; why Nigeria is the most corrupt nation in the world and why studies show that a child would be off being born in Somalia, Mali, Chad, South Sudan and other war-ravaged countries than in Nigeria.

Jonathan's well-paid and ill-mannered army of internet and media warriors may sing his praises to high heavens and work hard to distort any discourse about the woeful failures of their paymaster, but they cannot hide the fact that, under Jonathan, Nigeria has become a vast mortuary where death and tragedy are routine. And like the morgue attendant, the president seems intent on smothering all remaining signs of life."

ajetunblog: Our Government need to do do something about this barbaric act

Our "gov...what". Plsssssss. Don't ruin my holiday. The institution called government is always responsible to the people and that is non-existent in NAIJA. We only have a bunch of "self-served" looters....

slimyem: You CANNOT be a graduate!!
No fvcking way!!

I believe he is.

That's a confirmation of how rotten our educational system has become. It's so sad to see Naija graduates who cannot put together a flawless write-up of less that 100 words.

Why won't we have so many unemployed graduates when we produce the likes of the guy in question in large numbers.

I have come across a Mech Engine 2/1 graduate who could not identify the alternator of a car let alone know the funcion.

So, so sad. Baba God ma wo wa niran oh.

.

Many a time, political events in our dear Nigeria make one wonder, pity oneselves as per what the future hold for this nation of 170 million people and on many occasions angry with our leaders and their cohorts for obviously wrong decisions laden with selfish political motives.

Often, rather than being in a state of sobriety, I burst into laughter, laughter,...........and more hysterical laughter. My laughter was not borne out of insensitivity but out of lack of where to place the hypocrisy on display in my own head. So I laugh them away in "I dey laugh oh" manner." Such was the situation when I heard Abati's comment on the recent pardon of GEJ's godfather once convicted for curruption.

As the uproar continues to rise over the pardon, it is fitting now to share this 2005 piece by the special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Reuben Abati.

Quite a lot of people were expecting GEJ's "attack dogs"- Abati, okupe, omokiri and the likes to come out in full force, parroting the wisdom in this shameful action of their oga at the top.

WHAT WE NEVER EXPECTED WAS THE UNLIMITED LEVEL THAT DR. RUBEN ABATI TOOK IT TO.

Below is a piece written by Abati on the same issue when he never dreamt of getting this appointment.


“His Excellency, the Executive Fugitive of Bayelsa state”: by Reuben Abati

If DSP Alamiyeseigha, the embattled Governor of Bayelsa state knows what is good for him, he should call his lawyers and advisers and draft a sober, apologetic letter of resignation, and give up the fight. He has lost whatever moral ground he may have occupied before now, the conspiracy theory that was contrived around his travails has been watered down. If he receives any support from any quarters at this moment, such support ought to be taken with a pinch of salt: all because Alami himself has chosen to ruin his chances, destroy his own moral base if he ever had any, by conducting himself in a manner that is unbecoming of a leader and a gentleman. By running away from England under the cover of the night, away from the British judiciary which was probing him on charges of money laundering, by taking evasive action from the law and communicating with his feet, Alamiyeseigha, a man who until now was known and addressed as His Excellency, has shown himself to be a dishonourable fellow, unfit to rule, unfit to sit among men and women of honour and integrity, unfit to preach to the people that he leads about ideals and values…

The drama that he has organised around his return as a fugitive from England is so comical that it merely shows him in worse light. He has managed to entertain Nigerians with the mystery of his escape from London, his smart salute before a guard of (dis)honour and the histrionics that he has put up in the last few days, but all he has done in reality is to raise questions and concerns about the quality of leadership in Nigeria, about the Ijaw nation and the values of its people, and the future of Bayelsa state. I am told that he acted out of desperation: what desperation could that possibly be? Is it desperation borne out of guilt? Or desperation borne out of simple criminality? Alami has told his audience that nobody should pity him, because he is merely paying the price for leadership.

What leadership? He did not explain. Faced with a charge of money laundering in British courts, Alamiyeseigha, and his sponsored agents had argued ad nauseam that he Alamiyeseigha being an important man in Nigeria, leader of a “sovereign state within a federal system” was entitled to immunity within the purview of Section 308 of the Nigerian Constitution, which in their reckoning, is transportable across boundaries, and that by arresting Alami for being in possession of an odious amount of foreign currency, the British was just acting illegally and as a neo-colonial entity. This was a futile argument as the British courts determined that Alami had a case to answer. He was remanded in prison, and later granted bail with conditions, while his case continued to be heard in court. This is the same process which Alamiyeseigha truncated by running away from England. He was required not to travel near any English port. But he did. He jumped bail and escaped. It has been said that he left England as a drag queen, dressed as a pregnant woman using forged documents. He insists that his escape is “an act of God”.

All told, by conducting himself after the fashion of a common felon, Alamiyeseigha has brought the people of Bayelsa state and all Ijaws to great ridicule. If he was so supremely sure of his innocence in the matter, he should have stayed back in London to prove his innocence. If he had won victory through due process, he would have been a great hero and his points about conspiracy and the President of Nigeria not liking his face would have deserved more than a closer attention. But to jump bail, subvert the judicial process, only to show up in Yenagoa like a thief in the night, and then turn himself into a major means of measuring the moral fibre of the Nigerian society, Alami suffers a defeat in what he may think is a victory over the British and Aso Villa. When he showed up in Yenagoa, he was celebrated by a group of uninformed youths who insisted on identifying him as a hero. But what we are dealing with is what J P Clark another Ijaw man, has described as “the hero as a villain”. This particular hero, anti-hero in fact, has a character flaw which in spite of him confirms his guilt, and the emptiness of his strivings. Leaders are supposed to be men of honour who are socially aware and imbued with a strong sense of ideals and values. In Nigeria, there is so much dissonance in leadership. Alamiyeseigha has proven to be a master of dissonance. He has brought great embarrassment to the Ijaw people, who in their reaction to his travails have shown an ambiguity that is most unimpressive. Nigeria’s stature has also been further diminished.

It does not matter what Alamiyeseigha says, he cannot remain as Governor of Bayelsa state while he remains a prisoner of his own guilt, not knowing whether he would be abducted by the British or not. He cannot attend meetings of the Council of State, as a fugitive who is on the wanted list in Britain. He cannot remain as Governor when his tomorrow is in so much doubt. He has sounded so far as a man who is ready to drag down the whole of Bayelsa state with him if he must. Since his mysterious return, he has been exploiting the emotions of all Ijaws and using blackmail as a shield; his agents have been trying to prove his innocence. The pity is that Alami has not been charged to any court in Nigeria. Here, if he so wishes he can steal all the money in the Bayesla treasury. If the people of Bayelsa are okay with that, so be it. But Alami has a case to answer in Britain. He is being accused of violating the laws of England. If he has anything to say, let him go and do so in the courts of England not on the streets of Yenagoa.

As for those persons who have been packaging Alami as a victim and who have been mouthing the asinine line: “If Ijaw man thief Ijaw money, wetin concern Tony Blair inside”, may the good Lord forgive them for they do not know what they are saying. All Ijaw must feel embarrassed for this is a difficult moment for them as a nation. They are being blackmailed emotionally to defend not a principled fighter, not a spirit of Ijawland, but an Ijaw leader who danced naked in a foreign land. The questions that would be asked are: what do Ijaws stand for? Where is the ancient and modern glory of the Ijaw nation? These are difficult questions. Alami must save his own people the embarrassment by stepping aside. Let him return to England and act like a honourable man. He has ridiculed the lawyers that he employed to argue his case, and not surprisingly, his lead counsel is so embarrassed, he has refused to comment on this resort to self-help. He has also jeopardised the integrity of his sureties: they will lose money and face if they cannot produce the accused person in their care.

But where were the British? Alamiyeseigha’s escape is a bad comment on British security. Alami has demystified the British and across Nigeria, questions are already being raised about the integrity of the British security network. Did the British collect bribe like Nigerian policemen? Did they work out a deal with Alami to embarrass the Nigerian government? If there is such a deal, what are the details? What is certain is that more Nigerians have lost respect for Britain in the last few days. How could the British who prevented the “exportation” of Umaru Dikko from Britain now allow Alami to escape? Is this the cynicism of the British at work or the opportunism of free enterprise capitalism? Whatever it is, the British have been relieved of the political burden of prosecuting a leader of Nigeria’s oil rich Niger Delta in their courts. The Federal Government nearly ruined the case by showing an over-anxious interest in the trial: now Obasanjo has to clean up the shit in his backyard and deal with the Alami mess.

One of the points made by the embattled Governor on his return is that he has proven the “Nigerianness” in him. This may have been a slip of the tongue, but it is the truth. For indeed, there is an Alami in every Nigerian leader. We are a country of desperadoes to such an extent that when we criticise Alami and sound holier than thou particularly the sanctimonious crowd in the PDP and Aso Villa, what we are actually criticising is an aspect of our lives which has now been exposed due to a twist of fate in a foreign land. What has Alami done? One, he showed up in England with sums of money whose source he could not explain when he was asked to do so. How many big men in Nigeria can confidently explain the source of their wealth? You could be as poor as a church rat in January and become a multibillionaire in March, nobody will ask any questions. Because Nigerians love miracles, they will attribute the sudden change of fortune to a miracle made possible by a certain pastor’s intervention.

Two, Alami told the British that he is entitled to immunity. This is typical Nigerian-speak. In our country, every big man is free to do as he wishes. He is above the laws of the land and there have been celebrated cases of persons conducting themselves as if they were the law itself. Three, when Alami became convinced that the judgment of the British court may not favour him, he fled. This is also quite Nigerian. It is the standard practice around here that public persons do not respect the courts of the land. Not even the ruling Peoples Democratic Party or the President. We live in a country where individuals can overrule a court of law, as the PDP Chairman, Ahmadu Ali once did in the Anambra/Ngige case and as President Obasanjo, the Ebora of Aso Villa, has always done. Alamiyeseigha simply transported these “Nigerian” attributes to England, and placed them on display.

It is perhaps why he is being lionized in Bayelsa as the “conqueror of the British Empire”. The Nigerians who have also been defending him and placing the blame at the doorsteps of President Obasanjo are also being Nigerian. They have asked: why is Alami being persecuted when other Governors commit the same offence and they pass through London all the time? In other words, Nigerians are no longer shocked by any kind of malfeasance. If someone commits a crime, we are not moved by the nature of his crime, instead we rationalise it: he should be declared innocent because he is not the only person who commits that kind of offence, he has been caught only because he is unlucky or he is being persecuted. And thus, what we are faced with is a country without moral boundaries. But thank God for a few voices of reason who in the face of blackmail, intimidation and violence still insist on the truth. The members of the Bayelsa House of Assembly are not saints themselves; it is true that they are being pushed by Abuja, but if they succeed in removing Alamiyeseigha, they would have done Nigeria a favour: they would save us from the British who may be playing games out of self-interest.

For His Excellency, the Executive Fugitive of Bayelsa state, it is over. Resign now, get on a boat across the border, and run…"

It's a pitty I was among those that thumb printed this administration into power. What a regretful decision by some of us.

They can as well alter our constitution to legalise corruption.

I hope they did not forget to include BODE GEORGE.

RASCALSSSSSSS.

While ACN, CPC & APGA are taking the ball to the centre circle for a match restart, the referee has already brandished a red card to one of their players and is also set to award a penalty to PDP.

PDP - power to the mighty.

Then real madrid's goalkeeper should have been red carded too for that straight punch to the head in vidic.

The invasion of Odi and the ensuing massacre WAS NEVER, CAN NEVER and WILL NEVER be regarded as genocide by any objective and unbiased mind.

Security forces who were never a threat of any kind to the community were attacked and annihilated by a group from the community with confirmed active participation of the community. At that point, the inhabitants lost their civilian status.

By classification, they were organised, armed, dangerous and combatant group of people. Trust me, it takes a lot of organisation and coordination to annihilate trained security forces.

The invasion ordered by President Obasanjo was a retaliatory attack or return of fire which must and had to be done. That I believe was not an easy decision to make but it had to be done.

The nuke of Hiroshima killed thousands of innocents but it had to be done to make a statement to Japan following incessant attacks on US by Japanese forces. Why not claim genocide against the then US president?

For those still so convinced of the genocide claim, I wll suggest that u watch a real life event depicted as movie titled - RULES OF ENGAGEMENT, starring Samuel L. Jackson.

In war and armed conflicts, not everything is in black & white, not everything is as it seems.

I think our leaders and politician should focus on issues of good governance and stop all these distracting witch hunts that won't better our lots in any way.

tellwisdom: Thats one main problem about you m0rons. They tend to ignore their unique reasons,goals; therefore macerating over trivial matters.

Dude, if you had invested your time writing the family members and police stations in lagos for the search of this lost fellow, We could have been jubilating by now...You cant get scores tackling my views ON here nicca. So use your head.

Another confirmation of your sickness. I pray u get healed soon.

.

tellwisdom: Why would anyone remove my comment from the surface of this page??...You moderators should respect yourselves and maintain transparency when dealing with users..

This dude in question, might be chilling under third mainland bridge at the waterside, since he works on the island..please check. Again, let's not bother much about the car...life first .

Now I can confirm that u are a sick soul-less "THING". Haba. Still so hard to believe that u did not regret making that earlier comment. And to make it worse, u return to re-affirm it.

who knows may be u are even one of the kidnappers since u are so sure of what u are saying.

But I hv words for you, THE ALMIGHTY will put u and whatever devil that lives inside u to shame when confirmation begin to flood this tread that the guy has been found alive, unhurt and his car intact.

Seun and nairaland mods, I think it is about time u introduce some kind of psychological and mental on-line assessment for people making inhuman comments like this. because I am so alarmed at the level of their influx into this forum.

Dude, seriously u need to get assessed at the nearest psychiatric center quickly.

Still praying the guy returns home safely.

@mod, thks for hiding that inhuman post from that guy and for editing my furious response. Thnks again. Praying for the guy.

candygosh: Like seriously. It could have beeen your brother or son too.
I won't be surprised if you venture into robbery or abduction cos tht post shows he lacked sympaathy

Oh boy, no be me now. Why not quote the guy stupid guy directly. can't still believe he made that comment.
