How come I'm not seeing my smileys?I'm using a BB now.

Chase you go where? You are one of the Nairalanders that is going nowhere, NL2 or not, better get used to it

I dont know if we can try the white with colour2 instead of colour1, or a darker shade of colour 1. Colour1 looks too bright on the PC mixed with white, although it looks great on phone.

Ask question, not complain. OK give your feedback too.

Am sure you guys will get used to it with time.

Very good one! It is very wrong to parade suspects before they are convicted in the law court.

Suspects should be presumed innocent till proven guilty and not presume guilty till proven innocent.

IGP stops parade of suspects

THE Acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Dahiru Abubakar, has ordered police units across the federation to stop the act of parading suspects while investigations are still ongoing.

In a signal sent out to all the 36 states police commands and the FCT, the IGP warned that his administration respects the rule of law, hence he ordered that the act should be stopped immediately.

According to him, police can only prosecute suspects in the courts but cannot parade suspects, a practice he said undermines police investigations.

Informed sources in the force disclosed to Sunday Tribune that although the new directive did not go down well with many of the police officers, they however had no choice other than to comply.

The source noted that parading suspects had helped police a great deal in the past because it serves as a form of deterrant to intending criminals and send signals to such miscreants that they would be caught if they involve in crime.

The IGP also stated that it has been argued by lawyers that parading suspects was unlawful and unconstitutional.

The IGP further directed that the media could be only be informed through briefing on the achievements of the police, but not by parading suspects.

“When big time suspects are charged to court, the media could get their pictures in the court,” he added.

The IGP also argued that parading suspects had not helped the police as pressure is usually mounted on the police once suspects are paraded.

The new directive may have weakened many state commissioners of police who usually parade suspects to showcase their achievements in checkmating criminals in their areas of jurisdiction.

However, the commands’ commissioners of police have been adopting the new directive of not parading suspects, though some of them have been complaining that the directive is not helpful.

I like this guy, radical indeed!

I’m a radical governor - Okorocha

IMO State governor, Rochas Okorocha, has stated that, “I am on a mission. I am not a conventional governor; I am a radical governor who has come to effect a radical change in Imo State.”

He also stated that only persons of impeccable character and foresight in the art of governance would now be allowed to occupy public offices in Nigeria.

Okorocha made this assertion during a civic reception held in his honour by the Imo Development Partners and indigenes of Imo State in Rivers State in Port Harcourt on Friday. The governor also assured Imo people in Rivers State that “evil people will not rule Imo again.”

Okorocha, who expressed surprise at the level of infrastructural development in Rivers State, said he had been challenged by the giant strides of his Rivers State counterpart, Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, vowing that the his rescue mission in Imo State would move a notch higher.

The governor also said the unprecedented national burial recently given the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu was a statement to the world that the passage of the Biafran warlord did not mean the end of the Igbo race, “but to tell the world that the Ndigbo are just starting.”

According to him, “today, the bar of governance and leadership in Nigeria has been raised. Men and women who must govern our country or our states must now be men of vision, integrity and repute. After and when I must have become your governor and left that office, before anybody would be governor again, he has to think twice, because of what I will leave on ground.”

On the burial of Ojukwu, the governor said, “why we bury Ojukwu the way we did, was not just to honour him, but to communicate to the whole world that Igbo as a nation is not finished, rather we are starting.

Bakare, el-Rufai storm Nnewi for Ojukwu

https://edge.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Pastor-Tunde-Bakare-and-Mallam-Nasir-el-Rufai-360x225.jpg

The vice-presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 election, Pastor Tunde Bakare, and former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, were among top members of the party that visited Nnewi on Friday to condole with the family of the late Biafran leader, Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

Bakare, who led the CPC delegation, said they were sent by former Head of State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, to convey his condolences to the Ojukwu family.

He said Buhari was recuperating in a UK hospital after undergoing surgery and could not come personally.

The other members of the delegation were the Publicity Secretary of CPC, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin; the party’s governorship candidate in Enugu State, Mr. Osita Okechukwu; and Buhari’s spokesman, Mr. Yinka Odumakin.

Bakare described the late Ikemba as a great man that spent his lifetime fighting for justice, equity and fair play in Nigeria, and prayed God to grant his son, Emeka Ojukwu Jr., who received them, the grace to fit into Ojukwu’s shoes.

He said what Ojukwu stood for would become even more evident after his demise, as the country was still battling with the issues he raised during the Nigerian Civil War.

“We are grateful for the life your father lived. He was a great man. We thank God for the role he played before, during and after the Nigerian Civil War.

“He fought to protect the interest of his own people as a part of a united nation. His desire was that any Nigerian can live in any place of his choice. And many people have come to appreciate him for that,” Bakare said.

He said Ojukwu fought for national integration after he returned from exile and for everyone to be fairly treated wherever they resided and in spite of their state of origin.

El-Rufai said Buhari and Ojukwu were contemporaries in the military and in party politics and were firm and straightforward in their dealings.

He recalled that Ojukwu was the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the All Nigeria Peoples Party, which sponsored Buhari twice as its presidential candidate.

He said the people would not forget that Ojukwu fought for justice, equality and against discrimination on the basis of state of origin in the public service.

He said, “He was very intelligent, a very wise man with sound sense of balance. Nigerians will miss him because in these trying times in which our unity is being threatened with all sorts of insurgences, we need the wisdom, experience and the sense of balance of Ojukwu, who lived and fought for equal opportunity and justice.”

Ojukwu (Jr.) thanked the CPC delegation for finding time to visit the family.

I allowed the thread to remain this long in this section so it can have as much attention as possible. But the thread actually belongs to Nairaland/General section not Politics.

Guess I have tried, so am moving it to Nairaland/General section, please open the next one in that section, I hope you have the number of people you need now.

Wish you all the best.

Nothing wrong with the 1st link. If what he stated is false, people only need to present the truth with facts, that way people learn. I have moved the 2nd link.

Thanks.

Happy Birthday Nairaland!

alj harem:
Mods please can you clean up this thread

Thanks.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria?action=profile;u=816724

Pls rather than giving us their profile links, give us the link to their offensive posts. Thanks.

So sad.

Goodbye Perx.

I doubt it will cost more than what people spend to run a generator at home and with their businesses. Else it wont be viable to the Investors.

So it is a welcomed development.

Patriotism include telling ourselves and our leaders the truth.

I am proud of my country, but I will be the 1st to also condemn what is wrong with my country and my leaders with the view of having a change.

If I don't complain and fight for the right thing to be done, who will?

I am not surprised, I witnessed his work at fighting crime in Lagos as the then commissioner. That was why I welcomed his appointment as IG.

Am OK Tunji. I hold no grudge and my post was not to blame/attack you or anyone in particular. And I apologize too if you or anyone felt offended with it.

Our consolation is that she did not die feeling rejected and unloved the way she felt when she made her 1st post on this thread. We all made a difference.

It is well.

maclatunji:
You know the problem with all of this argument is that people will not admit to the truth. They think I am trying to claim I was closest to Perx and that makes them angry. Ok, I wasn't close to her, she probably hated me. #Happy  

If makes you feel any better, okay:

I am so bad, that the word bad makes me look good.

Who cares if you are closer to her than her family? How does that affect anyone?

You are such an immature, GROW UP.

OAM4J, it was me that Babe! attacked but she provided your post as reference material (and quite elaborately too),. #dealwithit!

The quote below is what BABE! wrote about you; those were not picked from my post but from your actions after my post. So you deal with it.

[quote author=BABE!]No wonder Maclatunji was quick to attack those interesting facts! Lawd a Mercy! Some people's conscience would so kill them.

How on earth would you . . . . Wtf?

He's now using "she told me secrets" to do BojuBoju. . . lol.[/quote]

Your blaming yourself in that post does not make your post right. So drop that line.

And who else has the knowledge, and the wisdom to judge that but the all-knowing maclatunji.

Again I advice you, GROW UP! The world does not revolve around you.

What a shame!

maclatunji:
After reading this post, I don't know what to do anymore. OAM4J, I hope you are happy, you have succeeded in making people label others for a decision Perx took by herself. At least, I can speak for myself that I did not know about the decision that landed Perx in hospital until after she got there. If anybody does not have evidence, I have evidence that she took the decision herself.

I feel very bad, that even in death Perx is still suffering from the things she detested whilst she was alive. Babe! Go and beg for God's forgiveness because you have made a terrible mistake taking OAM4J's innuendo as fact. People, do you still  have the nerve to question why OAM4J's comments make me angry? unbelievable!

maclatunji:
1. Babe! did not post that comment as the premise for her spurious conclusion. OAM4J's post was her premise. (Tell me how you missed that).

2. Perx told me why she went to hospital after she got admitted not before. (I said that earlier, is it that hard for you to comprehend?).

I got in contact with her via e-mail after I asked her what she was doing in hospital. It is still on this thread. #Freakingunbelieveable

Tunji what is your stress with me? Why are you blaming me or holding me responsible for you actions?

I made a post, just my own way of reflecting over all that happened and see lessons to be learnt after reading through all what BB posted and the events that followed. I concluded in my own way that "I think many of [size=13pt]us[/size] might have failed her for not telling her enough truth." Your advanced English dictionary failed to see that was inclusive of me taking responsibilities, rather you jumped at me, gave my post your own interpretation and started screaming at me even after I ignored you twice. And them jumped at the part of my post I addressed to Jenny & bb which Jenny misunderstood and gave it your own interpretation to add petrol to the fire from jenny, hopping she will hate me more [s](and divorce me her husband of many years and follow you).[/s]

Babe did not talk about a part in my post where I mentioned you in particular but the way you quickly jumped at me like. . . as if your conscience is killing you  

Why because you must  prove to everyone you know/love perx most and perx trusted you the most, else you are the only one that has the right to explain anything about perx. Even ridiculously went on to say perx didn't trust TeHN enough, complained about TeHN and in your almighty assessment claimed TeHN made mistakes and still making mistakes. . . How dare you Tunji? Who made you such a judge? What makes you think your one head is better than 10 heads in TeHN committee?

The day you realize that you are not all knowing and with the best of wisdom/idea, you will start to learn and move forward. Every time TeHN refused to buy your idea then TeHN was making mistake and doing wrong cause your idea must be the best. For God sake we never claimed to know/love perx better, so save us your childish competition talk, you were among the people that asked TeHN to help with her case, that we accepted to help does not mean you will now boss us about and tell us what to do and how to do it. How can we make mistake helping someone we didn't know from Adam? Why must TeHN help the way you think we should help or the way you think perx wanted to be helped when we were in direct communication with perx discussing every of our actions with her? And we politely asked you to do things your way if you were not satisfied with our approach? And what did you do? And you have the 'ordersity' to say TeHN made mistakes and still making mistake, How dare you? Who are you?

I didn't mention your name in my post, so stay away from me. And if people think the way you jumped at me was uncalled for, don't blame me, blame whatever it was that came over you.

Geez!!! I hate doing this.

Why couldn't he support Akpabio-caliber governors in his own home state? [/quote]He supported Gbenga Daniel, to be fair, Daniel tried during his 1st term prolly the reason why he was supported by Baba for 2nd term.

But Daniel was a disaster in his 2nd term and Baba was also not happy with him. I think he openly condemned him too.

@OAM4j
It's all good.

I missed this. Thanks.    

We can complete the reconciliation in the bedroom, and there you can repeat all those curse words while we are at it.  

I know I will need to use my koboko more raw on you this year, so you will learn to dilute the truth with some . . .  

See Uju has taken raw koboko and she is now gentle.

BTW, is OAM4J also "elderly"?    [/quote]At age 80 something, what else do you expect?  

Am not a teenager or in my twenties any longer that (by NL standard) should make me an elder. So when next you want to address me remember to go on your knees as a good respectful Yoruba girl that you are.
