Ogbeche77: @ OP, you skipped some line on madam first lady interview. How about the part she said '
'I ve extended the hand of umblellal to Amaechi & we have agreed to move on and also 'Amaechi is my Children' as the other poster pointed out..
Editing the speech of our dear first lady is an offense punishable by law & I won't be happy seeing you forced to committing suicide than killing yourself

[size=14pt]Amaechi Remains My Son –Patience Jonathan.[/size]

The wife of the president, Dame Patience Jonathan has expressed concern about the unhealthy scenario at the Rivers State House of Assembly.

And as one who is familiar with that terrain she’s asking all parties involved in the on-going crisis to sheathe their swords and give peace a chance.

Referring to the state governor Chibuike Amaechi as her son, she asked him not to allow himself to be used by those who do not wish the state well.

Mrs Jonathan’s comments came after she attended an event at the presidential villa.

She also referred to the minister of state for education Nyesom Wike as another son who should tread softly to allow peace reign in the state.

anonimi: That was how the railways was destroyed from the 1960s by trailer owners, mostly from the north. Its slow, gradual but steady revival by GEJ against the machinations of the cabal is really worthy of appreciation.

Nevertheless, I imagine that smart tanker/trailer owners will buy/rent freight coaches from the NRC and continue their haulage business non-stop but changing with the times. That is what successful businesses do, right

I hope GEJ has adequate plans for continuous maintenance of these revived railways. He must promote vocational schools and technical colleges through counterpart funding for LGAs and states ready to invest in such education rather than just universities churning out un-employable graduates.

Dee60: Stop displaying your ignorance before the whole world. The APMT plan and the projects coming onstream now started during OBJ tenure. Let GEJ show the world his own key projects.

papadenzel: Please where does the rail in Lagos lead to? Because I have not seen any visible sign of a rail line leaving the apapa port.

Pro Anti: The Rivers state police command have been doing a marvellous job in curtailing violence in the state considering the calibre of people involved in this battle for supremacy.

Politicians are overheating the polity by their incessant solidarity visits and are making the job difficult for the Police..

Governor Amaechi and Barr. Wike should settle their bedroom quarrel and stop deceiving the world that they are fighting for the masses thereby causing unnecessary tension.

Sincere 9gerian: You can write whatever you like in the law books but is the law implementable?

There's also a law which state that you must get police permission before embarking on street protests. But did the fuel subsidy protesters obtain police permit before embarking on protests? No, they didnt.

[size=14pt]Public Order Act

Chapter 382

Laws of the Federation of Nigeria[/size]


8. (1) Any person who, while present at any public assembly or meeting or on the occasion of any public procession, has with him any offensive weapon or missiles, otherwise than in pursuance of lawful authority, shall be guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to imprisonment for 12 months without the option of a fine.

(2) For the purposes of this section, a person shall not be deemed to be acting in pursuance of lawful authority unless he is acting in his capacity as a police officer or as a member of the armed forces of the Federation or as a member of any corps recognised by law or as a member of a fire brigade established by law.

(3) In this section, "offensive weapon or missiles" includes any cannon, gun, rifle, carbine, machine gun, cap-gun, flintlock gun, revolver, pistol, air gun, air pistol or other firearms (whether whole or in detached pieces) bow and arrow, spear, cutlass, matchet, knife, dagger, axe, cudge, horsewhip or any piece of wood, metal or other material, or stone capable of being used as an offensive weapon or missile and includes tear gas, corrosives, inflammable substances or any other thing that is capable of being used to inflict or cause injury.

Sincere 9gerian: I know there's a thin line between violence and throwing stones but throwing of stones is one COMMON feature of protesters all over the world. Why do protesters throw stones? They throw stones to reach targets the security people prevented them from reaching physically.

Yes, all Nigerians deserve protection but the level of protection you get is determined by the level of risk. Presidents all over the world get maximum security because they face the highest risk. The governors are local champions who do not even require much physical security if things were working properly.

biafranqueen: yes violence is unnecessary but as always it will be only a couple of mental ones in the crowd because mental hospital is costly most are peaceful!

Sincere 9gerian: What was the police supposed to do? Kill all the protesters? Didn't people protest against removal of fuel subsidy for several days? This is democracy. Both the pro- and anti-Amaechi groups have the right to protest and even throw stones. The much the police can do is restrain the protesters to certain areas, which they did in this instance because the four governors and Amaechi moved to and fro the govt house. The police cannot stop people from throwing stones.

Moreover, governors are not the president that needs maximum security. Even the president with his maximum security was once a victim of stone throwing protesters.

Yazmin: No, I dont agree with you on this.
Why should we assume that what is good for......sorry let me stop here and read ur post again, perhaps i was replying the wrong person. ....

cogitoErgo: Nigerian Army PRO is very bad, the army guys are doing some good jobs and nobody knows!
In those days we used to watch a play we call " Zamanja" on NTA, it was a Nigerian Army drama. Why cant the NA collabo with the so called Nnollywood to promote NA? Im sure most of us here came to respect US Army because of watching them in movies

duni04: Instead of using our present available resources to combat our present problems, we're chasing grandeuristic projects. Ordinary survailance of our coastaline is a problem for the nigerian navy. Small boys with crude weapons hijack ships off nigerias coast on a monthly basis and the navy has always been helpless, such that nigeria is one of the top 5 pirate hotspots in the world. The navy should be concerned with aligning scarce resources to reduce piracy instead of trying to compete with russia and america with war ships.

naptu2: NNS Ambe (LST1312)

The landing ship tank, NNS Ambe, undergoing repairs.

I first knew what it is in 1990. On the 9 o'clock news they showed troops preparing to sail to Liberia. Its hull opened and armoured tanks, personnel carriers and fighting vehicles were rolling into it (or was it its sister ship, the Ofiom?). It's a Landing Ship Tank (LST)! The C130 of the navy.

I wish we had amphibious landing ships and amphibious assault ships.
