In saner climes, any medical practitioner who abandons his duty post for whatever reason that results in death or grievous harm to patients will have his medical license permanently revoked. He will be sued by his patients for all his assets.

That is how serious they they take medical practise. Nigerians are very docile folks. If we start to do the above in Nigeria, the shenanigans of doctors will stop!!

Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath?

I really dont see the big deal here. There is nothing gestapo-ish about this. The problem we have in Nigeria is that ordinary citizens, including supposedly educated illiterates like Oyb and El-Rufai, do not understand the real meaning of democracy. They assume you can say whatever and do whatever and get a way with whatever. NO! I have news for you, it aint so. The US, UK and other advanced countries are the most policed states in the world, utilizing the power of the Police and other non-uniformed security agencies ( FBI, MI-6 and even Google, IP addresses and Face-book) to closely monitor their citizens so as to prevent unnecessary break-down of Law and order. El-Rufai's intent is very clear, to make the state un-governable for GEJ. And it would be stupiddddddd of GEJ and the SSS to allow him roam the plains of Nigeria freely. They've done what is right and I am glad they acted fast this time around, before we start losing lives like we always do in situations like this.

His article is ridden with inflammatory words, with the intent to incite and cause public chaos.

Any government worth its salt would do whatever is necessary to keep him quiet. Next time, he would be more careful with what he writes. Now he knows there is a new Sheriff in town, and the Sheriff isnt going to be tolerate any nonsense from him and his ilk.

They are not happy with the election result? Let them go to court, quietly and jejely. Their dissatisfaction with the election result is no excuse for them to heat up the polity. If push comes to shove, they will be the first to elope via BA, leaving innocent people to die unsung. We cant afford this 'kain' behavior from our 'elites' any longer. The memory of his unpatriotic behavior during the SNG group is still very fresh in our mind; after all, he was the brain behind the group that created a larger than life image of Turai, causing the public to have negative impression of Turai, when in reality, Turai, like the rest of us, is just a victim of a failed and bastardized system.

This is democracy guys. Freedom isnt free; it requires each and every one of us to exercise restraints in how we talk and act in public. Do NOT rock the boat. If you do,you will be held accountable.

Not proven at all. The entire world , for example, saw the criminality of the PDP during the Ekiti rerun in 2009. Given what you saw, do you think Oni beat Fayemi? No other result would have been fair or tenable other than the declaration of victory for Fayemi. Katsina-Alu was also alleged to have 'delivered' a win for Yar Adua when Buhari petitioned the court against the 2007 victory of our former President so what is your point ?

Abeg let us not go around in circles or drift from the topic under discussion. The point is that OGD directly instigated legislative gangaterism to get his N100 billion retirement fund bond. He has not even pretended , since the first day of his second term, to lead Ogun State progressively at all. With such consistently desperate behaviour not many will conclude that such a man will concede state asset transparently and without cynical opportunism influencing his deeds. No Lawyer will go to court arguing in favour of giving a serial burglar the benefit of the doubt because he is "incapable of breaking into a house".

Gbawe:
Our judiciary is one of the most corrupt in the universe.

[b]Adieu Ruben Abati

There is no doubt that Abati is a force to recon with in the sphere of intellectual and engaging journalism in Nigeria, however if what i have read here is true, Ruben had better write his last commendable colum before he enters the instiution called Aso-Villa.

Any sensible Nigerian, devoid of ethnic and religious sentimentalism will know now that Goodluck does not have a Vision, plan or clue of what being the president of the most populous black nation should be doing.

He has consistently shown incompetence and lack of priority among other attributes that a president should never be seen to posses.

So if Ruben decides to be the megaphone precipitate image maker of such a president, all i can say it IT IS FINISHED! Nigerians should prepare for very intresting scandals ahead.

Its is quit disturbing that we are sailing without a compass yet we can afford more and more liqour on Board

Ruben Abati if this is true, you fall my hand bros, Adieu 'Brand Ruben Abati'!!![/b]

Jarus:
Get me right. I have not said I have a problem with him accepting the job. Spokesperson is a job reserved majorly for journalists and a journalist clinching one, to me, is not out of order. But the difference between Segun and Abati is, even prior to this becoming public knowledge, Abati had appeared compromised but still hiding the guise of public commentator. Add to that the Abuja land gate. But for Segun, nothing suggested he was doing some people's bidding before taking up the job. He was still his known self until he took up that job - a job you can't go against the interest, at least in public, of your principal.

Whether we like it or not, Pa clark remains the only credible elderstateman in 9ja. These uninformed propaganda against man that respects the sanctity of the presidents office and not Gej cannot stand! Pa Clark, unlike many Nigerian politicians, deemed it wise not to abuse the relationship wit Gej. Some people in thier characteristic manner, sees it as a weakness. Oh Nigerians!. In all this propaganda, I hope the president will be wise enough to realise that.

Jarus:

bros, how na

I've always wondered why supposedly disreputable news orgs like SR that have been 'caught in the Act' too many times that i've lost count, continue to thrive and unashamedly so. Each time i try to ignore the bitter truth but at times like this, its just too glaring to be ignored. Fact is these guys will continue to thrive and will continue to write what they like because they understand Nigerians and they know for a fact that we just like in every facet of our national life, NEVER LEARN! Or how else do you explain a report from SR already in the frontpage and trending and with a page gone, no one is yet to question SR's always reliable source!
Na so we go dey dey?

hbrednic:
sahara reporters are the source of this story abi

Jarus:
Abati is the most overrated pundit in Nigeria(I have a friend that must now hear this from me; he likes Abati so much that he underwent few weeks coaching under him when we were in school
The only thing I read from him are those comical satires just to have a good laugh. I stopped taking him seriously even before the Abuja land saga. I realized he is no longer as fire-spitting as he used to be some 5, 7 years ago.

To nail my suspicion about his compromise, I wondered why a public pundit will do a 10 series articles on a presidential candidate when he's not his official media person, if he was not paid to do that. He also played an active role in the launching of Jonathan's Facebook book. So this is why I'll not be surprised if he is named GEJ's media person. His pen language has been poiting to that since.
