maigida231: The reason y we issue d fulani in bakin Ladi to vacated is to ensure we(stf) carry our operation with effective free minds dat there are not innocent cilivans in is area dat we r going conduct is operation,we r going in full force against is enemies d r still hidin among d fulani,bush n rocks we declared is a war zone and we wouldn't want a situation were innocent fulani to be caught in is battle before media will say we were order to kill fulani people as a revenge by gov jang and berom people,yes is not a easy task for us,fulani people or government but must put measures to acquired peace,GOD bless Nigeria army,GOD bless Nigeria

Precisely what I'm saying. It would have been better if the STF had reached out to community leaders and explained the situation to them. This terse evacuation order leaves room for speculation, rumours, etc.

By the way, God bless you for what you are doing for Nigeria and God bless the Nigerian Army

oxford: Guy, give me that part of the naija constitution that says you can kill women and children in their sleep and still maintain your right to free movement. be fast am waiting

Right, so the government should punish you, simply because people from your ethnic group have killed other people? Interesting.

Yomieluv

fulanis are not Nigerian,mind you.

Dr Olusola Saraki, Sultan Maccido and Ahmadu Bello are/were not Nigerians.

I stand corrected.

[size=14pt]Constitution of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria (1999)[/size].

Chapter IV (Fundamental Rights).

Section 41 (freedom of movement).



41. (1) Every citizen of Nigeria is entitled to move freely throughout Nigeria and to reside in any part thereof, and no citizen of Nigeria shall be expelled from Nigeria or refused entry thereby or exit therefrom.

(2) Nothing in subsection (1) of this section shall invalidate any law that is reasonably justifiable in a democratic society-

(a) imposing restrictions on the residence or movement of any person who has committed or is reasonably suspected to have committed a criminal offence in order to prevent him from leaving Nigeria; or

(b) providing for the removal of any person from Nigeria to any other country to:-

(i) be tried outside Nigeria for any criminal offence, or

(ii) undergo imprisonment outside Nigeria in execution of the sentence of a court of law in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty:

Provided that there is reciprocal agreement between Nigeria and such other country in relation to such matter.

Although it is not unusual for the military and the police to issue evacuation orders when carrying out operations, I feel that this evacuation order was not well thought out. It gives room for speculation and raises some questions.

1) Move to where?

2) How are we going to move?

3) When are we coming back?

4) Can you guarantee that our houses and immovable property will be safe?

I'm not against the order, but I believe the military should have been more sensitive and explained things better.

Happy birthday in advance!

DammyFx: Which One Is Satellite Pictures Again??

The satellite pictures show why the Western Niger should be excised from Nigeria and amalgamated with Benin Republic thereby making the North a majority.

Testing

[quote author=tpia@]seriously though, i've been wondering why it seems nigerian television started in the 80s.

what programs did people watch in the seventies?

i know the 60s probably had no indigenous tv so no need to mention it i suppose.[/quote]UKONU'S CLUB (1964)
When television came to Eastern Nigeria in 1964, the breakout hit on the programming schedule of Enugu's ENTV was "Ukonu's Club," the raucous variety show hosted by "Mazi" Anyaogu Elekwachi Ukonu. (left)

Mazi Ukonu had travelled to the United States in the 1950s but instead ended up becoming an actor, playing bit parts in Hollywood movies. Returning to Nigeria in the early sixties, he would reign for two decades as the premier broadcaster and comedian in Eastern Nigeria, producing a broad spectrum of television programmes, founding NTV 6 in Aba, and discovering, nurturing and showcasing a host of talents including Chika "Zebrudaya" Okpala, James "Gringory" Iroha, Pete Edochie, and an array of popular musical artistes. Over the course of his twenty-year television career, Mazi A.E. Ukonu was praised in proletarian and intellectual circles alike—he has been cited as Chief Obafemi Awolowo's favourite comedian—and hailed as the consummate Nigerian entertainer.

Quite a few of the programmes that have been mentioned here actually started in the 1970s. For example, Village Headmaster was aired in the 1970s, while New Village Headmaster was aired in the 1980s and 90s. I'm trying to remember the cast of the original Village Headmaster, I don't know if somebody out there can help me out.

Dr Bassey Okon (1970s, played by Jab Adu), Fatia Okon (1970s, played by Rosaline Birch), Okoro (1970s & 80s, played by the great Jimmy Johnson), Amebo (1970s, 80s & 90s, played by Ibidun Allison), Sisi Clara (1970s & 80s, played by Elsie Olusola, Segun Olusola's wife), Village Headmaster (Femi Robinson [1970s], Justus Esiri [1980s], it was played by another actor in the 70s, but I can't remember his name), The Oloja of Oja (1970s, 80s & 90s, Dejumo Lewis), Boniface (1980s, ?)

State House Marina (1910s).

dont8: Yes, black and white are coloured also, especially when you put magnet!

Had a HUGE black and white tv set (I think it was Grundig), then in 1981/82 came the Orion coloured tv (there was another coloured tv set, but I've forgotten the name), then in 1985, after dad's trip to Japan, came the beloved Panasonic (I LOVED that Panasonic).


We also had a HUGE radiogram (how many people remember those), then one other sound system that played cartridges, then finally, my beloved JVC.

Village Headmaster: Amebo outs an undercover policewoman.

naptu2: Smoking and driving

The law affecting people who smoke in vehicles

In July 2009 England introduced smoke-free laws applying to vehicles.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland already had smoke-free vehicle legislation in place.

Smoke-free vehicle laws affect drivers, as do references to smoking and driving in the Highway Code, which also carries some legal weight.

Smoke-free laws

Company vehicles are required to be smoke free at all times if they are used:

to transport members of the public, or

in the course of paid or voluntary work by more than one person – regardless of whether they are in the vehicle at the same time.

In Scotland it is an offence to smoke in any vehicle used for work, unless that vehicle is a car. This rule also applies to vehicles from other parts of the UK.

Smoke-free vehicles must display a no-smoking sign in each compartment of the vehicle in which people can be carried. This must show the international no-smoking symbol no smaller than 70mm in diameter.

When carrying persons, smoke-free vehicles with a roof that can be stowed or removed will not be required to be smoke free when the roof is completely removed or stowed.

Vehicles that are used primarily for private purposes are not required to be smoke free.

Check your employer's smoking in vehicles policy as well – they may impose policies on smoking in vehicles that go further than the legislation.

Highway Code

Smoking is included in the Highway Code (Rule 148) as one of a number of distractions to be avoided when driving or riding.

Rule 148: Safe driving and riding needs concentration

Avoid distractions when driving or riding such as:

loud music (this may mask other sounds)

trying to read maps

inserting a cassette or CD or tuning a radio

arguing with your passengers or other road users

eating and drinking

smoking

You MUST NOT smoke in public transport vehicles or in vehicles used for work purposes in certain prescribed circumstances. Separate regulations apply to England, Wales and Scotland.

Although I think the penalty is harsh.

antitpiah: Because Google knows everything. Google is God, at least Google is my God.

In Google I trust. If Google says Nigeria will break up in 2015, I believe Google.

Another classic from Lord Stranger.

Soldiers, policemen, government officials and foreigners have been arrested for violating traffic laws in Lagos, so I wonder why some make it seem as if this is impossible.

I have seen the governor's motorcade on at least 6 occasions waiting at the traffic light. He usually moves around the state without sirens.

That's all for today.
