rapheaders: sending my greetings to our in-house efushetan aniwura(desola). you and ileke finish those people no be small. na god say make I save the pages before the clean up exercise by the mods. but awa omo yoruba buru gan.Finish ko, finish ni. I've asked my guys to keep an eye on you on Otigba. |
Sweetlemon: Abegi! The people we have in CAN are much better than the ones in PDP.If the people in ACN are better thn those in PDP like you claim, why then do they keep outsourcing their presidential candidates from the PDP? In 2003 as AD, they adopted PDP's OBJ. In 2007, they went for PDP's Atiku. In 2011, they went for OBJ's boy Ribadu. For 2015, they are already considering PDP's Tambuwal. |
Alxmyr: There are lots of similarity between these men.No. Buhari is more like Morsi. Muslim brotherhood things. |

aminho: You termed me 'lazy', though my lazinessRubbish! Which groundnut money? What was money from palm oil and coal from the East, Cocoa from the West and Rubber from the Mid-west used for? Yes, you produce agricultural produce but we pay for it with our hard earned money. Money from your farm produce is not shared to our states in form of allocation. Apart from the fact that money from our oil is given o you free, you still get to buy fuel at the same price with us the owners while a mudu of beans in my village costs 3 times what it costs in Yobe. You have solid minerals which your people mine without making any contribution to the National treasury. Who is fooling who? |
Obiagelli: After his initial gra graIs that all you could scoop from the whole write up? This thread is actually in response to your assertion in the other thread that Asari is only talking because GEJ is weak. |
hishandmaid: @ opThe question should be; what did OBJ do to Asari after making such threats to a sitting judge? |
ezme: Did you really follow the uprising in Lybia? The no-fly-zone was the reason the war became a fair one.Dude I ask again, how old are you? The reason I ask is that your response to issues here suggests that you do not know anything about the history of MEND and their battles with the Nugerian government. Air raids had been used extensively against MEND but they were all to no avail. |
berem: Lol@ Aj city! sorry dude ,i don't live in Ajegunle. ama confirmed Festac chic where we gat the best brains. I never knew government employs based on merit. I thought it was based on federal character? Jeez! you better ask your friend's wife what magic she used.It was done on Merit but with equal spread among the regions(Federal character). The difference is that this time, the Federal character was based on state of residence and not state of origin. My friend's wife is Igbo married to Ibibio but living in Abuja so he won as a contestant from the North central region. |

Continued: �I know where your family live. And I know they will not escape. Your family will weep when it will happen. I will see how Obasanjo will protect you. Stupid man. Stupid judge. �Let me remind you? Has Obasanjo been able to protect the expatriates that he will now protect you. I tell you, your family will weep when it happens,� he added. At this juncture, the atmosphere was charged. Although counsel were able to agree on February 19, 2007, the judge hurriedly read a brief ruling adjourning hearing of the application till March 6, this year. Immediately the matter was adjourned till March 6, Dokubo became charged again, saying may be before the adjourned date, �when you look at the grave, you will be found there,� he added. Immediately after the court rose, he was led out of the courtroom. He asked to meet with his family members. He was allowed to do so in the courtroom of Justice Binta Murtala Nyarko. He came out later to vilify the government further, saying: �I have not taken any medication for six whole months. I was put in underground cell. Even Mandela was not incarcerated in an underground cell for six months. Obasanjo is a wicked man. Mandela did not stay in solitary confinement for six month. My weight was 139 kg when I was in police custody but now, I am 93 kg. This is a democracy where a court cannot enforce its order. This man is so evil.� He was eventually led into the waiting bus that brought him into the court premises. He was driven out of the court premises at 12:45pm, singing a chorus which his supporters joined him to sing thus: �one more river to cross, Niger Delta freedom fighter, one more river to cross.� |
Continued: Keyamo saw the position of the judge as a trap as he said he would not allow that application to be moved except and until the issue of disobedience was thrashed out. He told the judge that there was a pending committal application and that he would want that application taken first. But when the judge seemed not to show interest in that, Keyamo said he would want to react by way of counter-affidavit to the application brought by the Federal Government. He said he would list the number of times the Federal Government had disobeyed court order as reasons why the application could not be heard. He added that he needed about 24 hours to respond and that he could come today for the hearing of the application. The judge said he was entitled to respond by way of counter-affidavit and that he would adjourn the case on that account. It was at this juncture that Dokubo became furious, facing the judge and asked as if to confirm what he heard that the matter was to be adjourned again. He said he was not interested in adjournment and that he was also not interested in any judicial proceedings that would make the judge pronounce that the case should be heard in his absence but that trial must go on. But when the judge was asking lead counsel in the case to suggest a date for the hearing of the application, Dokubo faced the judge once again and said: �This decision to adjourn this matter again is like toying with my life, my ambition, my dream. I tell you, all these sufferings that Obasanjo is inflicting on me today, I will inflict, times ten on everybody that participates in this proceeding.� Immediately, both the DPP and Keyamo suggested a date in February which the judge said was not convenient for him, Dokubo faced the judge again and said: �It is not convenient for you? But what sort of justice is this? Is this justice? You are toying with my life.� Looking at the judge who was smiling, he added: �You are laughing? When it will happen, your family will cry. They will cry and cry. I am just restraining myself. Your laughter will soon turn to tears.� The trial judge hardly allowed him to finish when he charged back at him, saying: �What is the meaning of this? This is not a Gestapo trial.� He motioned to the DPP and the police and said: �Get the police to send him out of this court,� to which Dokubo said no way. This was the beginning of the drama as the police moved towards Dokubo, some of them with their AK 47 rifle. Some of the policemen who were earlier outside the court room entered to assist their colleagues. When Dokubo saw them, he re-positioned himself, raised his two hands up, held the dock and paced round it, saying: �No way. Nobody can remove me from here. Come, come. Nobody. I say, nobody can remove me from here.� The judge was watching from the bench as Dokubo continued his drama in the dock. At this juncture, the policemen ordered journalists and all others in court to move out of the court-room even as they moved towards Dokubo to drag him out of the court-room. In fact, some journalists ran out almost immediately for fear of being hit by stray bullets in case of any accidental discharge. When the judge realised that the development could degenerate into a dangerous one, he told the policemen to leave him alone. It was at this juncture that Dokubo faced the judge again, threatening: �I have stayed in the underground cell for six months. You are toying with my life. Okay, when your people start visiting mortuary and cemetery, this joy will turn to sadness. |
Continued: Dokubo was led into court-room number 5 where his trial was to kick off yesterday. And as he stepped into the courtroom, he saw his supporters, some of them hugged him while some were weeping and wiping their tears with handkerchiefs, Dokubo became charged once again and started shouting: �I am not going to beg Obasanjo. I am not going to beg him. This struggle will end one day. And this dictatorship will be brought down. This is not democracy. There is no semblance of democracy anywhere. Six months after the court had ordered that I should be kept in police custody, have access to my lawyers, relations and doctors, this government has not complied with the order. Today I was brought from the SSS headquarters to the police headquarters. They were deliberately delaying me. They did not want to bring me to court. They delayed me for more than two hours. Many people who are missing in the country today should be traced to the SSS. Thousands of people are there, chained to the ground. Many people were taken out today. Nobody knew where they are being taken to. No one knows whether they have died or not. I can give you names: People like Mohammed Ashafa, Mohammed Adams, Yahaya Isah, Useni, Mudashiru, Ishmail, Yusuf and many others. They have been there for more than two years, in chains. No trial. Their families are not aware of their conditions. And we are calling this a democracy. Is this democracy? I have been in confinement for six months. Although I am not kept under chains but what about others? �What sort of democracy are we talking about. Is this the democracy we fought for? Is this the democracy that many laid their lives down for? The democracy that murdered its people. The democracy that impoverished its people. A democracy where people cannot talk. A democracy where people are in chains. A democracy where somebody will say this is what will be and that is what will be. Is this the democracy we fought for? The choice of the people have become useless. We no longer have the right to choose whom we want to rule us. It is he who Obasanjo wants to rule that will rule. Is this democracy? �Abacha regime was 10 times better than this. This is a man who claims to be fighting corruption. We must investigate this man. We must investigate all the evil he has committed against our people. The evil he has committed against all of us. We must bring down this evil system. We must not allow this to continue.� Immediately he stopped speaking, members of his organisation surrounded him to enable him remove the white shirt he wore to court and wear a black, round-neck shirt which they brought for him. The shirt bore the picture of Isaac Adaka Boro. He was also given a traditional cap to wear. Dokubo in the dock At 11.48 a.m, he was docked and the proceedings commenced. Mr Aliyu representing the Federal Government told the court that he had an application seeking to go on with Dokubo�s trial without him being present because of his trendy unruly behaviour. He said he had already served it on Mr Keyamo, counsel representing Dokubo and that he was ready to move the application. Although Keyamo confirmed that he had been served, he said: �We will not on our honour oppose this application if the order of this court made in respect of my client has been complied with. �Although we accept, on our honour, that the accused person has overstepped his boundary and we also are of the view that for the sole reason of the protection of our court, we do not intend to oppose this application but even as we are desirous to protect the dignity of the court, the Federal Government seems not to be bothered. We feel it should be the business of both parties in this case,� he said. Keyamo further said in view of his explanation, he wanted an order of the court to be complied with first before the government could move its application. Justice Olayiwola said he appreciated the two issues raised by Keyamo including disobedience to court order and his reaction to the pending application but that he wanted him to respond to the one on the Federal Government application first. Justice Olayiwola said he would listen to Keyamo on the issue of disobedience to court order after dispensing with the Federal Government�s application. |
This is for the teenagers here on Nairaland. In another thread, someone asked who is Asari and where was he under OBJ. Going forward to insinuate that OBJ would have silenced him if he made provocative remarks as he did recently. Well , let's go down memory lane:- Dokubo threatens to kill Judge By Ise-Oluwa Ige Posted to the Web: Tuesday, February 06, 2007 *Says: �I am sorry for you. Your family will weep when it happens. They will cry and cry. Your family members cannot escape too. I know where they live and Obasanjo will not be able to protect you.� ABUJA � �STUPID man! Stupid judge! You want to adjourn this matter again? You want to send me back to the underground cell again? I am sorry for you. Your family will weep when it happens. They will cry and cry. Your family members cannot escape too. I know where they live. And Obasanjo will not be able to protect you.� These were the exact words of the leader of the Niger Delta People�s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo to Justice Peter Olayiwola of the Federal High Court, Abuja trying him (Dokubo) for treason. The entire proceeding which lasted less than 45 minutes was tension-soaked with some people running out of the courtroom for fear of being hit by possible stray bullets. This was shortly after the trial judge who himself was not comfortable with curses and insults heaped on him and the general unruly behaviour of Dokubo ordered the police to take him out of the dock. The militia leader, in the presence of his wife, children, supporters said nobody including the ploice could move him from the dock and that he was ready to die. In fact, some of the policemen drafted to the courtroom advised all journalists to leave because, according to them, there could be need to use force to take Dokubo out of the dock. Before Dokubo was brought to court at about 8:00 a.m, policemen with their vans were sighted at the entrance to the Federal High Court premises located on the OAU, Maitama in Abuja . But the policemen were, comparatively, not many and the security was relaxed as those entering the OAU Quarters housing the Federal High court were not frisked. In fact, unlike before, Dokubo�s supporters, friends and relations were freely allowed into the high court premises including the courtroom such that at about 8:20a.m, the court was already filled. At about 8:25 a.m., supporters that came in their dozens into the high court premises were seen in groups, discussing that the militia leader would be released yesterday. Some of the lawyers on Dokubo�s defence team joined and even gave life to the rumour to the effect that President Olusegun Obasanjo, at the weekend, had agreed with elders and opinion leaders from the Niger Delta to release Dokubo. The lawyers added that a plane had been chartered to airlift him from Abuja to the creek immediately he regained his freedom At the time the rumour was making the rounds, the Director of Public Prosecution, Mr Salihu Aliyu, who usually arrives court early and other members of the prosecution team were nowhere to be found. The Director of Public Prosecution was eventually driven into the court premises at about 9:40a.m with other members of the prosecution team. He was asked to confirm the rumour but he said he was not aware of it. Aliyu later left the courtroom on the excuse that he wanted to go and robe but he was seen outside making several calls. He later came in with a motion paper at about 10:20a.m which he served on the lead counsel to Dokubo. Initially, it was thought that the application was to drop charges against the militia leader but upon enquiry, it was discovered that the motion was praying the court to grant an order dispensing with his presence in the criminal trial in view of his alleged unruly behaviour in court in the past. The fresh motion that was served eventually rested the speculations that the Federal Government had agreed to release him yesterday. But some of the supporters and members of the Niger Delta People�s Volunteer Force who were in court said they had already given the Federal Government till 4:00p.m yesterday to release him or risk further attack in the creeks. About three minutes after the DPP served Keyamo with the motion paper, both of them entered the judge�s chambers on invitation where the trial judge asked for their views on the fresh motion. According to Keyamo who spoke with newsmen, he told the judge that he was not going to oppose the application excluding him (Dokubo) from trial because his client, Dokubo, had, indeed, been very rude to the judge in the past and because there was need to protect the integrity of the court. But he said he told the judge that there was need for government to obey the court order which directed that Dokubo be kept in police custody and treated well and that until the order of court was complied with, they would oppose the application. He said he assured the judge that both parties would assist in maintaining the integrity of the judiciary. Keyamo also revealed that the judge himself was worried by the failure by the Federal Government to comply with its order. He said the court confided in them that he had written to the presidency, the SSS but that the right response was not coming. Dokubo in court Dokubo was driven into the court premises at exactly 11:44 a.m. in a dark blue 15-seater police bus marked NPF 4077B. He wore a white, round-neck, shirt atop a dark blue jeans. As he stepped out of the bus and saw his supporters, Asari, who had lost considerable weight, lifted his hands up and started shouting, condemning President Obasanjo�s government, saying: �We must rise against this dictatorship. We must rise up against this dictator.� As he tried to speak further, one of his five wives in court, Mujahidat Dokubo, did not allow him to say more than this as she moved closer to him, begging him not to shout even as she was shedding tears. She tried to lay her head on his chest, weeping and begging him not to make any trouble but the militia leader pushed her away and continued shouting, condemning Obasanjo�s government. As Dokubo moved into the court complex, his wife followed him, begging him to stop the attack on government, reminding him that there was an on-going reconciliation process. But the militia leader who seemed to have lost his patience with Mujahidat fired a few rhetorical questions at her: �Leave me alone. Am I fighting for you? Why are you complaining? Leave me alone.� http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-7581.html |
berem: Now am no longer asking a nonsense question. How could some nairalanders be so silly? why must people resort to insults if they can't answer simply question. Am not against the Youwin project even though i haven't seen or heard anyone who has benefited from it. With the righ rate of unemployment, how is the government going to cope with the project? simple question which deserves a simple answer. Anyway thanks for your response. I appreciate.Sorry mate, YOUWIN is for high fliers who have got brains and are innovative and such are rare in your AJ city so, I'll excuse you. The plan is, the ones with 'brains' win the contest and are then empowered to set up business and employ others. So no worries, when they start recruiting 'sales girls' and factory workers, you'll then know one or two people who 'benefited' from YOUWIN.I was surprised to open the list this morning and among the first set of names I saw was Chichi Wallace Afiah, my good friend's wife. |
Twin-Tiger:Bros, I only answered a question. |
berem: here comes another dunce! who told you am jobless? I can help you upgrade your miserable life if you want. If you don't have answer to my question, just keep shut!Don't go crying to the Mods when I start with you. |
berem: No one says what the government did is bad.all am asking is how are they gonna tackle the ever increasing rate of unemployment? will the Youwin programme be enough to solve it? i need reasonable answers and not throwing insults.Widespread unemployment did not start with this administration. Unemployment has actually dropped under the current administration going by data from World bank, UN and NBS. YOUWIN alone is just a program out of many designed to tackle unemployment and cannot absorb the large number of unemployed Nigerians. Under this government, there has been steady increase in FDI and a lot of companies (both local and multinational) are either setting up or expanding capacity as the government has been keeping to its promise of improving infrastructure. Nestle just recently opened their 54 billion naira sute in Agbara, Dangote has just secured a $4.2 billion facility to build a refinery, Transcorp has gone into agroprocessing big time with their fruit juice concentrate production facility in Benue state, they are also about to start the production of tomatoe paste. NASCON, a company in which Dangote owns majority shares is also starting the production of tomato paste. Also, with the current privatisation of the offsprings from PHCN and subsequent take over by the foreign investors, we would see a boom in employment akin to the days of the telecom sector. These activities are what in the long run will reduce the rate of unemployment. Also, they are a lot if skills acquisition centres spread across the country where you can acquire skills at little or no cost but most people are either ignorant of them or as Nigerians feel too big to do 'dirty jobs'. My friend just finished learning soap making with NDE and I've given him the little support I can. My cousin who was unemployed for a long time had to go back to the village to set up a piggery after acquiring the necessary skills and he's doing fine now planning to buy a pick up van for distribution. Years ago, one of my other cousins had to go back to the village from Pirt harcourt to learn manual block moulding and has never regretted it since then. He just completed a modest '3 rooms and parlour'. People are taking to farming making money while the lazy ones keep waiting for government to spoon feed them. Nobody in my paternal extended family works for the government or any company even though most of us under 40 are graduates. We chose to be employers and not employees. |
berem: Really? how is this Youwin program gonna provide jobs for 48 percent of unemployment youths in Nigeria? I heard th other day on the news according to statistics that 32 percent of the 48 percent are unemployable while 16 percent are. What plans does the government have for the unemployable youths and which categories of people fall under the unemployable?If you are unemployable as I suspect judging by your resident status on Nairaland, make yourself employable by acquiring skills and maybe, just maybe you may land a job and spend less time on Nairaland. |

Obiagelli: Mend and other groups can only thrive under a weak president, where was mend or boko haram when Obj was president. 2015 will tellMEND were doing the following when OBJ was president; 2006 Nine officials for the Italian petrol company Eni SpA were killed when armed members of MEND attacked Eni SpA's security forces in Port Harcourt. MEND militants briefly occupied and robbed a bank near the Eni SpA base, leaving at about 3:30 p.m, about an hour after they showed up. A company official stated, "Eni has temporarily evacuated staff and contractors from the area of the base affected by the incident and the situation is currently under control." MEND issued a statement regarding the oil workers: "Be assured therefore that the hostages in return, will remain our guests... the hostages are in good health and have adapted fairly well to the conditions under which the people of the Niger Delta have been kept." On May 10, 2006, an executive with the United States-based oil company Baker Hughes was shot and killed in the south-eastern city of Port Harcourt. At the time of the shooting, it was not immediately known if MEND had any involvement or not. Witnesses say the attacker appeared to be specifically targeting the US executive. On June 2, 2006 a Norwegian rig offshore Nigeria was attacked and 16 crew members were kidnapped. According to the news agency Reuters, MEND has not taken responsibility for this attack.[13] On August 20, 2006, 10 MEND members were killed by the Nigerian military. The members were working on releasing a Royal Dutch Shell hostage. In an email to REUTERS, MEND stated, "Our response to Sunday's killings will come at our time, but for certain it will not go unpunished." On October 2, 2006, 10 Nigerian soldiers were killed off the shore of the Niger Delta in their patrol boat by a MEND mortar shell. Earlier that day a Nigerian/Royal Dutch Shell convoy was attacked in the Port Harcourt region resulting in some people being wounded. On October 3, 2006, a militant group abducted four Scots, a Malaysian, an Indonesian and a Romanian from a bar in Akwa Ibom state. On October 4, 2006, Nigerian soldiers attacked a militant camp, in the ensuing battle 9 Nigerian soldiers were killed. On November 22, 2006, Nigerian soldiers attempted a rescue of kidnapped oil workers which resulted in one soldier being killed. 2007 On May 1, 2007, at 4:15 a.m., MEND attacked Chevron's Oloibiri floating production, storage, and offloading vessel off the coast of the southern Bayelsa state. After one hour of fighting with security boats, resulting in the death of 10 people, MEND seized six expatriate workers, consisting of four Italians (Mario Celentano, Raffaele Pasceriello, Ignazio Gugliotta, Alfonso Franza), an American (John Stapelton), and a Croat (Jurica Ruic). On the same day, MEND published photos of the captives seated on white plastic chairs in a wooden shelter around the remains of a campfire.[14] On May 3, 2007, MEND seized eight foreign hostages from another offshore vessel. The hostages were released less than 24 hours later, stating they had intended to destroy the vessel and did not want more hostages. 23 May 7 hostages were taken from a pipelay barge of Nimbe area of Bayelsa they were released 23 days later. they included Brittins Americans and one South African. On May 8, 2007, three major oil pipelines (one in Brass and two in the Akasa area) were attacked, shutting down oil production and cutting power to a facility run by Italian oil company Agip, part of the ENI energy group. An e-mail statement from a MEND spokesperson said, "Fighters of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) attacked and destroyed three major pipelines in Bayelsa state... We will continue indefinitely with attacks on all pipelines, platforms and support vessels." |
Naval sadiq: vote buhari for 2015 andKeep dreaming |
ezme: I pity anybody that would take up arms and go into the creeks, Just one air raid and them go take down their camps. It would take the international community two weeks to arrange a no-fly zone. Can NDVF or MEND withstand an air raid for up to 3days? They should learn from Lybia and be smart about these threats flying around the place.How old are you? Be honest |
Obiagelli: Mend and other groups can only thrive under a weak president, where was mend or boko haram when Obj was president. 2015 will tellYour comment confirms that most Nairalanders are teenagers. Are you for real asking where MEND was when OBJ was president? Was it not under OBJ that MEND were blowing up oil pipelines like no man's business? Was it not during OBJ that many Northern states introduced Sharia and Usman Jangedi's hand was amputated for stealing a cow? Was it not during OBJ that the Almajiris carried out violent demonstrations in the North and FCT causing the Miss Universe beauty pageant which was slated to hold in Nigeria to be moved to SA? Was it not under OBJ that Gen. Malu after he was removed as Chief of Army staff say that he " regretted not overthrowing OBJ"? In all these, what did he do? Yes he arrested Asari and razed Odi but like you already know, Asari's arrest reduced Nigeria's oil production to 700,000 barrels per day and even in detention, Asari was still not cowed. Remember Asari rejected Amnesty and was freed unconditionally. |
