Maybe na GJ's pple even plant the bomb sef so dem go fit blame hin opponents! Na only God go catch all of them- Amen!

The same people that have been blaming the FG for not acting fast on leads gotten from foreign intelligence prior to the bombings are the same people now conjuring another theory. Na wa.

egift:
If am Dokpesi, I will sue them with two options
N10 Billion or An apology published on (20 Electronic, Print and Web media each)

Rubbish. So inviting him for questioning in very serious national security matter like this means his rights have been infringed upon? Abeg go siddon for gutter.

Kobojunkie:
WOW . . . . so FIFA is to blame now??

Not at all. Blame me.

Do you ever take a stand on anything?

Sepp blatter your Fada. To hell with all competitions. so NFF officials should no longer respect court orders? Nonsense.

^^^^^^^^^^^

And what answer do you expect from me?

Is it that you did not read this your article at all? see below and explain what you understand first before i go on with you:

“The Committee considered the possibility of repatriating the investment immediately, but decided that in view of the fact that the funds are now effectively back under the control of the CBN and the fact that JP Morgan Bank holds 28 other FGN accounts, [size=15pt]the funds can remain in its custody pending a final decision by the Federal Government on the continuation of its investment in the AFC[/size].”

oyb:
maybe the GEJ apologists would care to explain why Nigeria has some 70 bilion sitting pretty in a bank when there are numerous repotrts that the nation is broke
why is our breath of fresh air mum on the availability of these funds

that's not the behavior of a sleazeless person

Reports?

When papa say him broke, e no mean say small savings no dey for somewhere, e no mean say him no go try buy cement for the small house wey him dey build, e no mean say him no go buy small shares, e no also mean say him go jump sell the shares wey him get. . . . .

My guy you no get case here. open another thread instead of this "bump" . "bump" wey you use dey disgrace yourself.

question:Why am i excited about this post?

Answer: because it show the poster is fast running out of allegations against GEJ and has resorted to some desperate moves to paint everything bad and blame GEJ for it. Surprisingly our very revered Gbawe is now a very faithful partner.

Ok poster tell us what the funds should be used for?

Abagworo:
I doubt if you are from Niger Delta.[b]I think the most important thing is to address key issues like true federalism,resource control,de-centralised Police and development of basic infrastructure in the riverine area.[/b]It annoys me when people think that a president coming from this region will appease the people even when it is glaring that business continues as usual.

Very true, but i expect you to know  that true federalism is 10 times more difficult to achieve than getting a South South  president. So the point now is to work towards what is achievable now and   get some basic infrastructure to the people .

The de-centralised  police thing is a contentious issue and it annoys me when it is grouped alongside very genuine demands like true federalism.

Jimmy Boy:
Gbawe, I agree with you to a large extent, but you seem to have seriosly underrated the authority vested in a Commander-in-Chief of a country. A state governor can be hoodwinked by God-father, but that does not apply to the president. Though there will surely be compromise and concessions here and there, but the president is never going to be in anybody's pocket, it was illness that pocketed late President Yaradua and not God-fathers.

I agree that the president is not so sophisticated and does not appear to be so knowledgible or exposed, but the needs of this country are so basic that you only need to be sincere in order to get things done. You dont need to be a Havard Graduate before you can get roads tarred, How do you think that some of our illeterate mothers were able to train University Graduates sometimes from proceeds of sales of Akara and Eko etc ? Love, dedication , determination,

In conclusion, I think we have a chance with GEJ, because providence placed him in the palce of power and not God-Father, therefore he is in better position to deliver.

Very smart post.

Since IBB never went to school, I dont expect him to know the difference between North west and North central. To him North na North. OLODO.

@Ibime

I have read your posts on this thread, and find them very encouraging. My concern however stems from your body language which seem to suggest that MEND actually carried out this attack. correct me if I am wrong.

[size=20pt]The only way arsenal can survive is if they get a suicide bomber to take care of drogba before sunday [/size]

I said it and it happened.

pro01:
$100m. . .just to 'disrupt' the independence day celebrations? And yet the Eagle Square, nay, Abuja itself still stands? LMAO! There can be only three possible angles to this incredulous claim:

1. It is blatantly false or outrageously exaggerated (i.e. the amount in question).

2. Okah and his MEND are incompetent oafs who can only achieve so little with so much.

3. Okah and his MEND have pulled off the biggest con in history. . .fleecing those disgruntled northern politicians of their 'hard-earned' $100m only to light up 1 or 2 cars with home-made Molotov Cocktails.

Somehow, I'm inclined to choose the 1st option.

The report says the payment was for a series of attacks, not just the one on indepedence day. Mend's body language after the blast strongly suggest that they have some other plans lined up. lets not discount the report with a waive of the hand.

deols:
The presidency could not take the bold step of recognizing the speaker and sending the other out. IT may never be able to take bold steps in more demanding issues.
I have no hope in Jonathan.


This reminds me of Adedibu's wife. She attended a meeting scheduled for wives of governors with the first lady and was promptly escorted outta the meeting . . .

People will just post whatever they like, as they feel it is now fashionable to criticise jonathan on any thing and blame him for anything. The report explicitely makes it clear that :

It was learnt that the meeting, which began around 9pm was not preceded by any accreditation.

So GEJ is so gifted now that he can look at a sea of faces without any form of accreditation and see that Ogun state has two speakers in the gathering? Abi him be winsh?

tkb417:
@Na so
I'm using ma fone so I won't see the part that is not sensible

Besides, I stand by all I posted. They shd be cleared, they shd not gyrate to Lagos

What you said about "their people in lagos go hear am if dem venture reach lagos" , did not go down well. Do we have MEND members in Lagos?

remember, this is the vice president that built the 7 million USD vice presidential mansion when yar adua was alive.

This nonsense you wrote simply exposed your intensions. So Vps build the VP mansion and the president builds the presidential mansion? Do you at all know what your are talking about?

Fresh facts have emerged on the role Leader of the Movement for Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), Mr. Henry Okah played in the deadly bomb explosions in Abuja on October1, 2010. Okah is alleged to have also received $100 Million from some Nigerian Politicians to disrupt the Nigeria at 50 Celebrations.
This is even as the Nigerian Government has expressed displeasure at the South African government for not acting fast over an alleged security reports on the bomb attack obtained from the United Kingdom Intelligence and sent to the South African Government.

The attack killed about eight persons including the son of former Commissioner of Police, CP, Zakari Biu while several others were injured.

Shortly after the bomb attack, President Goodluck Jonathan spent the better part of the Nigeria’s 50 th Anniversary in series of meeting with top security chiefs. In the last meeting with heads of all the security agencies, sources told Pointblanknews.com that they “resolved to crush rising militancy and insecurity in the country.”

[b]However, Pointblanknews.com sources hinted that the presidency had received security reports about the plan by Okah who resides in South Africa since last week and had swiftly notified the South African Government with hopes that it would help pre-empt the attack by arresting the MEND leader.
But the source added that the South African Government released Okah whose house was searched and “did not consider the seriousness of the security report which was obtained from the United Kingdom intelligence.”
Part of the security report obtained by the presidency according to sources includes the sum of $100 Million gift to Okah allegedly traced to some top Politicians in Nigeria.
According to the source, "The presidency got a security report via the United kingdom (UK) intelligence unit last week that some political forces in the country had offered Mr. Henry Okah $100 million to ensure that the 50th anniversary celebration did not hold."
"From our report, the bomb blasts were to start on Tuesday and our security agencies got to know about it, contacted the South African authorities and consequently Henry Okah's house in South Africa was searched and he was later arrested."
"But the presidency was shocked when it later learnt that the South African authorities had ordered the immediate release of Okah."[/b]


The source, said that based on the obvious role of the South Africa in the terrorism act- carried out by Mr. Okah, the federal government were "seriously considering reviewing its diplomatic relationship with South Africa in the next few days or weeks.
"The South African authorities' action against Nigeria is very strange. The Federal government is determined to review its diplomatic relationship with south Africa", the top presidency source added.
Investigations revealed that the Nigerian authorities contacted the South Africans last night to register reservation about “the action or inaction” of their government.
Our correspondent gathered that but for the timely intervention of President Jonathan, the UK authorities was to issue a security alert on Thursday advising its citizens to stay away from the venue of the celebration yesterday.
Among those killed in the blasts according to a security source include a former security operative with the EFCC, Mr. Tahir Biu, an assistant director of the State Security Services (SSS), a youth corps member and some civilians.
The explosions occurred outside the ministry of Justice - about 800 meters away from the Eagle Square-where the celebration took place. One of the cars in which the bombs were planted carried a registration number Lagos CF 786 LSD. Eight vehicles were mangled in the incident. The spokesman for the Nigeria Police force, DCP Emmanuel Ojukwu, told journalists last night that the two blasts were caused by car bombs.
But in a swift reaction President Jonathan vowed to punish those behind the bomb blasts. A statement signed by his special adviser on Media, Mr. Ima Niboro, said the blasts were “dirty and wicked acts of desperation as well as the worst anniversary gifts any nation can get.”
The statement reads: "The bomb explosions, which occurred near the Ministry of Justice in Abuja, and which claimed several lives are a low, dirty and wicked act of desperation by criminals and murderers who do not wish Nigeria well.'
"Coming at a time that the world had gathered together to celebrate Nigeria At 50, these bomb attacks are the worst anniversary gifts any nation can get.

"Their purpose was to ensure that the celebration at the Eagle Square was cancelled by all means.  It is sad and unfortunate.'

The statement said the President grieved with the families that have lost loved ones in the incidents shared their consternation and understands their pains, as they mourn while the nation celebrated.

The presidential spokesman added, "The president wants these families to know that their loved ones have not died in vain. Rather they have paid the supreme price for our unity; and in their death, they have watered the tree of our freedom.'
He added that those behind the vicious acts will be found, and will pay dearly for this heinous crime.

[b]Also reacting to the incident yesterday, the Jonathan/Sambo campaign organization asked the security agencies to get to the bottom of the act of evil.
"As President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice-President Namadi Sambo led thousands of Nigerians to celebrate the nation's golden jubilee at Eagle Square Abuja and millions of Nigerians looked to the future with renewed hope, car bombs exploded near the Square killing several people and injuring many more," the director of media of the campaign groups, Mr. Sully Abu said.
"As the security agencies grapple with this affront on the nation's peace and security by cowardly elements, we as a campaign organisation wish to stress that this dastardly act only underscores the urgent need to conduct our politics in a civilised fashion in the run up to next year's election.
"Rather than engage in brickbats, accusations and counter accusations which raise the political temperature and thus create room for anti-social elements to carry out their nefarious activities, our politicians must learn to engage one another in a peaceable fashion, devoid of acrimony and incendiary language.
"We must all centre our political campaigns around issues that touch on the lives of the Nigerian people and how to ensure that before our centennial, we join the front ranks of the most developed nations on earth. This surely is far more productive than engaging in calumny and diversionary arguments that overheat the atmosphere. This has been repeatedly emphasized by the Goodluck/Sambo Campaign Organization and is the over-riding lesson of today's bomb blasts".[/b]

The president campaign organization called on the security agencies to get to the bottom of the mischievous act no matter what claims have been made by any group and fish out the perpetrators for exemplary punishment according to law saying the security agencies must also be on special alert and must strengthen security across the country.
Two hours before the blast, the MEND had issued a press release- alerting the public of the act.
The statement signed by one Jomo which was purportedly issued on behalf of the militant group reads, "With due respect to all invited guest, dignitaries and attendees (sic) the 50th independence anniversary of Nigeria being held today, Friday, October 1, 2010 at the Eagle Square, Abuja, the movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) is asking everyone to begin immediate evacuation of the entire area within the next 30 minutes. The warning expires after 10:30hrs. Several explosive devices have been successfully marked in and around the venue by our operative working inside the government security services.
"In evacuating the area, keep a safe distance from vehicles and trash bins. There is nothing worst celebrating after 50 years of failure. For 50 years, the people of the Niger Delta have had their land and resources stolen from them. The constitution before independence which offered resource control was mutilated by illegal military governments and this injustice is yet to be addressed."

The bombs went off when president Jonathan was inspecting a guard of honour in the event-attended by over 15 heads of state of different nations, former Nigerian presidents and former military heads of state saved Gen. Ibrahim Babangida , who was absent. The blasts did not prevent the event from going on. Although Jonathan was unshaken when he heard the sound of the blasts, one of his closed aides said, "He is very angry about the embarrassment."

small ,small the whole truth go come out.

^^^^^^^^^^^^

Abeg talk with sense na.

SO YOU ARE SAYING YOU REPRESENT WHAT ? YOU REPRESNT WHAT ? FUTURE CHANGE ,WHAT DO YOU REPRESENT ?

This is a normal attempt as is common amongst seasoned interviewers to rattle their respondent. Nothing special in this her question.

I dont expect this henry okah to say anything different, even if he was privy and infact responsible for this.

Do we mean that there arent surveillance cameras around the eagle square to help investigate this?

the statement by mend that its members that have infiltrated the security agencies were responsible for the facilitation of this exercise makes me curious.

tpiah:
what a joker of a thread.

as usual, people listing their favorites regardless if the people on the list actually fit the profile being discussed.


imagine jarus touted as having a sharp mind.

and we wonder why nigeria is going nowhere.

Sure Jarus is sharp, but subtly biased

sbeezy8:
[size=17pt][b]Who are they? Jonathan the president is from the Niger delta. [/size] [/b]

hehe

GEJ's house was bombed in Bayelsa immediately after he was picked as VP candidate of the PDP.  _{am i thinking something?}

Another tricky one for bros Jona again. If he goes all out for the MEND team, then expect some applause from the rest of the country, while the ND boils and amnesty programme  goes up in flames. If gets diplomatic , the he stands to be accused of insensitivity and poor control.

Mend don fall my hand.  Surely an  ill-adviced move.

toluxa1:
A few MEND members have been distancing themselves from today's events. This shows that this action was taken by a section of MEND members. Seems they are beginning to get scared.

source please.

tkb417:
Whoever is hapi they are bombing abuja shd wait till they bomb his/her fathers house

By then, he/she will be able to post sensibly. Hehehehe

Flush dem away from Nigeria. Even if its gonna take a year, engage them, fight dem, clean them off, do all u can to clean 9ja of bloodsuckers. We don't need kidnappers,killers.

These fools started d kidnappin biz, now they wanna start killin away from their creeks

We no go gree oh!!!
If they come to Lagos penren, all their siblings in Lagos go hear am

You were  making sense until you added the bolded line.

AIT just reported that it happened at the BAYELSA STATE GOVT HOUSE ABJ. _{i smell something}

The only way arsenal can survive is if they get a suicide bomber to take care of drogba before sunday

@OP

As much as I am against this sharing of rice thing and the poor organisation around the entire process, I think your idea of linking , the rice sharing thing with the kidnapped children is simply baseless. Get a life.

Kai, abeg make bros Jona manage dis him wife abeg. The woman fit go spoil market for 2011. Make she take backseat immediately.

Tales by moonlight.

For a guy 5'9 is average, definitely not a short person. For a lady 5'9 is above average in some cases could pass for a tall lady. In most cases a lady that is 5'9 should have brothers that are 6+. It is very very unlikely that you  guys will have short kids. The worst is that they will be of average height.

Na 5.6 dem use dey join police and army o.

The poster is not just a scammer, he is also not smart.
