molujagun: Oga Fash! and how are you going to protect the water ways.

Or are you going to wait for it to become infested with Armed Robbers and Terrorist and Pirates before you start thinking of security?

Always the Nigerian mentality ... bolting the stable doors after the animals have escaped

What stops you from having a comprehensive security operation now, people living along the water are already facing security challenges.

I tire for this country o!

You just come out an make small cheap talk and expect everyone to start hailing you smh

Sincere 9gerian: I referred to the magnitude of protest not level of violence. The level of violence mayb related to the level of force deployed by security forces to smash the protest.

modskiller: Who the Bleep is she anyway.?
I've never heard of her ?

naptu2: Oluchi Onweagba (born August 1, 1982) is a Nigerian model.[1][2]

Biography

Early life

Onweagba grew up in the suburbs of Lagos, Nigeria with her two brothers and sisters. She is the daughter of a civil servant father and mother who was a nurse.[2] When Onweagba was 16 years old, she won the "Face Of Africa" contest.[2]

Discovery

She was urged by a family friend to enter into the M-Net "Face of Africa" preliminary screening at the M-Net office in Victoria Island, Lagos.[4] The agency groomed her to be one of Nigeria's entrants for the 1998 competition (now called the Nokia Face of Africa). This despite the fact that, growing up, she had maintained a relative ignorance towards fashion and modeling.[citation needed] With the support of her family and friends, she decided to compete in the inaugural edition of the Face of Africa in 1998. This was the first-ever continent-wide model competition, organized by the South African channel M-Net in collaboration with Elite Model Management.[citation needed] She won the competition.[5] She was just seventeen years old. Elite Model Management awarded Onweagba a three-year modeling contract.

Career

After moving to New York City, where she still lives, Onweagba graced the covers of Italian Vogue, i-D, ELLE, Untold, and Surface; she also was featured in Nylon, Marie Claire, Allure, and other national editions of Vogue around the world.[citation needed] She became the face of campaigns for Gianfranco Ferré, Gap, Express, Banana Republic, and Ann Taylor, as well as working for Victoria's Secret.[citation needed] Onweagba's runway experience has been with John Galliano, Christian Dior, Costume National, Chanel, and Giorgio Armani, amongst others, in London, Milan, Tokyo and Paris.[citation needed] She has worked with such notable photographers as Steven Meisel, Nick Knight, and Patrick Demarchelier.[citation needed]

Beyond modeling, she tries to serve as a role model for other aspiring talents in Nigeria, especially young girls.[citation needed] She volunteers her time and her image for such NGOs as LEAP Africa (an entrepreneurship incubator) and NIPRO. She also is continuing her higher education, having studied for an associate's degree in the New York City educational system.[citation needed]

After her three-year contract with Elite expired, she signed with DNA Model Management.[citation needed] A highlight of her career so far was when she was featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue four times, from 2005 to 2008.[citation needed]

In 2008, she launched a modeling agency in South Africa, OModel Africa, with offices in Johanesburg and recently in Cape Town.[citation needed] The 2008 winner of M-Net Face of Africa, Kate Tachie-Menson, was awarded a US $50,000 modeling contract by OModel Africa.[citation needed]

Personal life

Onweagba is married to Italian fashion designer Luca Orlandi. They have a 3-year-old son.[1] Onweagba's first name comes from the Igbo language and means "God's Work".[2][6

Sincere 9gerian: OBJ increased fuel price about six times or more and at no time did we see the magnitude of protest we saw in Lagos in 2011. The social media may have played a role but much bigger was the role played by partisan and ethnic sentiments. After all, its not only those in Lagos that have access to the social media.

Goddex: Honestly, it's in the habbit of Nigerians to criticise their leaders.

Sincere 9gerian: If the problem you have with the president is increment in fuel price, then you'r been mischievous. Fuel is a commodity and prices of commodities MUST change with time.

Even your hero, Fashola, if he was the one in Aso would still have increased fuel price. The recently elected president of Ghana increased fuel price, few weeks after elections were concluded. Heavens did not fall in Ghana because the people there are not as tribalistic and partisan as Nigerians. I hope you know Ghaninians have also started experiencing power cuts, though not as bad as in Nigeria, and their railway is also comatose.

This years budget for subsidizing fuel is almost N1trillion, as passed by the NASS. Can a Fashola spend N1trillion on one item? Never! If Fashola was in charge, he would removed the entire subsidy by now and crushed the little opposition. Moreover, the opposition from southwest wouldn't have been much because of tribalism, just like there was no much protest in the southsouth and east the last time. Lagos and Kano were the center of all the fuel subsidy removal protest. The reasons were obvious.

Onlytruth: No my friend, the more things change in Nigeria, the more they remain the same. I think that is what the guy was alluding to.
Go and count the number of MASSOB corpses fished out of the the Ezu River in Anambra state. Mind you MASSOB is UNARMED.
Now, why on earth should a Nigerian government give amnesty to an ARMED group? I will tell you why. It is because Nigerians see peaceful agitations as a form of weakness.
That is why your government (encouraged by you) is giving amnesty to armed mass murderers.

naptu2: To an extent I agree with GEJ. Grant them amnesty with conditions.

I do not think that the hardcore members of Boko Haram are interested in any amnesty. However, you can use an amnesty offer to lure the weaker and fringe elements, who might be able to deliver vital intelligence to you. This might also cause a split in the group and weaken it.

However, the main condition that should be attached to the amnesty is that the members of Boko Haram must lay down their arms and disclose the sources of their weapons and funding. Again, as it was in the Niger-Delta amnesty deal, amnesty should not be granted to anyone who has murdered or been involved in the murder of another person.

The military chiefs also have a point (and a huge job to do). It is not easy to tell the ranks that, after their colleagues have been killed and they have faced great difficulty, they now have to accept Boko Haram members as regular citizens of Nigeria. If the announcement is not handled well, it could lead to a mutiny.
