so because i do not support some of the thing you people want me to say makes me a non-igbo

u see how silly you sound

You are not Igbo or kanuri like you claim.If you don't want to admit being yoruba then fine but take note, to not mention the name of any yoruba leader, or enter in any yoruba matter at all. You have been constantly bring the name of the yoruba race to the dirt and you need to stop and also cut out the igbo bashing,its immature and pointless.

The page you pulled your stuff from has got the deeper reasons for the war in Ivory Coast, but you obviously have selective vision.

In the meantime, while you make your lame brained arguments, ordinary Ivorian citizens the World over are siezing their embassies from Gbagbo's people. The latest embassy to fall is the one in Washington; http://www.voanews.com/english/news/usa/Ivory-Coast-Battle-Over-Embassies-Moves-to-Washington-112680784.html

Gbagbo's govt is a dead dog, and deservedly so.

You're such a fool."the world over", yet you show just washington and also people who may be Ouattara supporters.There are nigerians protesting right now in Ivory Coast at the nigeria embassy telling them to stay out of Ivoery Coast issues. I'm not saying I am in support or against Gbagbo, but what i am saying is that there is an in-problem and its deeper than the gbagbo issue.It should be clear to you.

@ ola. Pls educate me more incase my facts are deficient

On September 19, 2002, a coup attempt against Gbagbo's government failed. The rebellious soldiers attempted to seize the cities of Abidjan, Bouaké, and Korhogo. They failed to take Abijdan, but were successful in the other two, respectively in the center and north of the country. The situation quickly developed into a civil war between a government-held south and a rebel-held north, but after several months of fighting a peace agreement was reached and French peacekeepers arrived to patrol a cease-fire line. According to the terms of the agreement, Gbagbo would remain in office (the rebels had previously demanded his resignation), but a new unity government would be formed under a "neutral" prime minister, including the FPI, the civilian opposition and representatives of the rebel groups. The agreement has been opposed by many of the president's supporters, who believe too many concessions are being granted to the rebels and that the French are supporting the rebels' political objectives.

Early in November 2004, after the peace agreement had effectively collapsed following the rebels' refusal to disarm, Gbagbo ordered airstrikes against the rebels. During one of these airstrikes in Bouaké, on November 6, 2004, French soldiers were hit and nine of them were killed; the Ivorian government has said it was a mistake,[6] but the French have claimed it was deliberate. They responded by destroying most Ivoirian military aircraft, and violent retaliatory riots against the French broke out in Abidjan.

Gbagbo's original mandate as president expired on October 30, 2005, but due to the lack of disarmament it was deemed impossible to hold an election, and therefore his term in office was extended for a maximum of one year, according to a plan worked out by the African Union; this plan was endorsed by the United Nations Security Council.With the late October deadline approaching in 2006, it was regarded as very unlikely that the election would in fact be held by that point, and the opposition and the rebels rejected the possibility of another term extension for Gbagbo.The U. N. Security Council endorsed another one-year extension of Gbagbo's term on November 1, 2006; however, the resolution provided for the strengthening of Prime Minister Charles Konan Banny's powers. Gbagbo said the next day that elements of the resolution deemed to be constitutional violations would not be applied.

A peace deal between the government and the rebels, or New Forces, was signed on March 4, 2007, in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and subsequently Guillaume Soro, leader of the New Forces, became Prime Minister.Those events were seen by some observers as substantially strengthening Gbagbo's position.

Gbagbo visited the north for the first time since the outbreak of the war for a disarmament ceremony, the "peace flame", on July 30, 2007. This ceremony involved burning weapons to symbolize the end of the conflict.At the ceremony, Gbagbo declared the war over and said that the country should move quickly to elections, which were then planned for early 2008.

On August 30, 2008, Gbagbo was designated the FPI's candidate for the November 2008 presidential election at a party congress; he was the only candidate for the FPI nomination. The presidential election was again postponed to 2010.

I highlighted the year the first coup attempt started because by that time he(gbagbo) had only been in office for 2 years.That alone shows you that what we are reading about in the media on a daily bases goes deeper than Gbagbo. To me it seems to be more of a problem that may be going on between the "people" rather that the president.That problem has been there and brewing befor Gbagbo.That is another reason why I believe the Ivorians are telling nigeria to stay out of their business that they can take care of themselves.

For the very first time i am agreeing with beaf on an issue. To be fear to him this has nothing to do with of our mediocre president but the whole region. GEJ's decision alone cannot over ride the decisions of 16 other presidents. People should put sentiments apart and view issues with open mind. Gagbo is a despot who stayed in power for five years illegally.

How long is a presidential term in Ivory Coast and how many times can a person run? Also, how did he stay in power for 5 years illegally?i am unclear about that issue.

Beaf:
Whenever the pack of id!ots and failures in Ivory Coast fail, it becomes an issue of imperialism. Rubbish, it is high time the despotic Gbagbo was kicked out of the place by whatever means. If he dies, that his problem, he waded through a sea of blood in his rise to power on the back of ethnic bigotry.

Now he has lost elections, why can't he just go? His tenure in office ended 5 years ago for goodness sake!

What pains me most though, is the way some of us lose several IQ points when "Western imperialism" or similar terms are mentioned. Few have taken the time to even question the quality of the sham interviewer. Where on Earth would an unbiased pressman ask such a ridiculously leading question as the one below:

I say, smoke Gbagbo out. Nobody should try fooling us with such stup!d "interviews."

Beaf,your obsession with GJ is becoming a disease. You don't have to support everything that has his face on it.

OPC alerts on possible Boko Haram plots in Lagos

Thursday, 30 December 2010 00:00 By Alex Olise News - National

THE leadership of the Odua People Congress (OPC) has raised an alarm over plot by some persons to invite the banned Boko Haram Islamic sect to cause confusion and terrorise residents of Lagos State.

Addressing the media yesterday in Lagos, Founder and President, Odua Peoples Congress, Dr. Frederick Fasehun, said the organisation would resist any Boko Haram attack in the South-West.

Meanwhile, the police in Borno yesterday said Boko Haram members shot and injured three persons, including a retired senior police officer and two civilians in Maiduguri on Tuesday.

According to Fasehun, the OPC and Civil Society Club of Nigeria (CISCON) have been following certain developments since the emergence of the Boko Haram sect in the northern part of the country, especially in Borno State.

Explaining the fresh Boko Haram scare in Lagos, the OPC leader said: “There is a market leadership tussle between two northerners: one Alhaji Haruna Muhammed, the current caretaker chairman of the Mile12 Market union and another Alhaji Ibrahim Mamuda.

“On December 6, 2010 it was alleged that Alhaji Mohammed led thugs with dangerous weapons to attack Alhaji Ibrahim Mamuda at about 12 p.m. with the intention of killing him over the market union disagreement.

“During the attack, many people were injured and most of the victims were taken to a hospital but were later relocated when the leadership of the OPC got information that the thugs were planning to attack the hospital with a mission to kill their victims.

“Aside the attack, a second attack took place later that night which led to the burning of the old office of the market union, thereby raising more tension within the Mile 12 environs.”

Fasehun added: “Investigations show that Alhaji Haruna might be planning to invite Boko Haram members to Lagos over the market issue since he fled to Maiduguri, Borno State, which is the main operating area of Boko Haram.”

He said: “The Odua People’s Congress and the Civil Society group hereby call on Alhaji Haruna Mohammed to surrender to the police for interrogation. The organisation will prevail on the run-away suspect not to introduce the activities of Boko Haram or any violent activities into Lagos State and the South-West region at large.”

Politics › Ndlf Warns Coas Over Manhunt For John Togo by Olaedo1(op): 6:27pm On Dec 30, 2010

[size=15pt]NDLF warns COAS over manhunt for John Togo[/size]

News Dec 30, 2010

By Emma Amaize

WARRI — THE Niger Delta Liberation Force, NDLF, has called on the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lt. General Onyeabo Ihejirika, not to exacerbate the needless face-off between the militant group and the Joint Task Force, JTF, on the Niger Delta, by supporting the manhunt for its leader, “General” John Togo, even when he (Togo) had earlier promised to surrender his arms and ammunition.

The group in a statement by its spokesman, “Captain” Mark Anthony, appealed to President Goodluck Jonathan “to review the actions of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Ihejirika.”

It also said the COAS should be sacked for official irresponsibility and recklessness, “especially for using military aircraft and other lethal weapons to bomb innocent Ayakoromor community under the guise of pursuing NDLF leader, General John Togo, thereby, killing over 100 civilians, making thousands homeless and others permanently disabled with bullet wounds.”

According to the group, “the Chief of Army Staff’s recent comments at Ayakoromor, saying that the army would not stop searching for NDLF leader makes him incompetent”. It added: “We want to say that soldiers are not our target. But the continued harassment of youths and communities by soldiers shall compel us to act otherwise and we urge JTF not to attack innocent communities as reprisal.

“We are worried by the suffering of innocent communities, who have been trapped and caged by soldiers, as many die as a result of insufficient food while NDLF gets uninterrupted supply,” the group added.

Innocent communities that are suffering, that is why NDLF decided to surrender to allow the people start a new beginning.
“But the posture of the Chief of Army Staff makes genuine mindsets to worry how and where he gets his military training to capture armed group without considering the colossal loss of lives. We believed the Chief of Army Staff only wants to risk the lives of poor salary earners in the force by his unprofessional display of gallantry and lack of wisdom”, it added.

NDLF stated, “The Chief of Army Staff chase for NDLF leader is the one that will cause another round of bloody encounter and loss lives (Nigerians) on both sides as usual, as we may make use of our weapons effectively. Pursuing or killing NDLF leader shall not stem violence in Niger Delta as far as the government fails to address the fundamental issues of Niger Delta by convening the post_amnesty conference where a forum could be created for aggrieved ex_militants to express their grievances with the federal government .

The continued pursuit of NDLF leader shall pose the Nigerian economy, especially oil facilities in Niger Delta in jeopardy as they remain our target”.

On the Jos crisis, it said, “NDLF wants to seize this medium to condemn the Jos City bombings, where about 80 persons have been confirmed dead and hundreds of persons wounded. We want to implore the leadership of Nigerian Army and the Joint Task Force (JTF) to continue to bomb Northern villages of suspected culprits of the Jos bombings to curb criminals as is the usual case in Niger Delta”.

[size=15pt]OPC ‘won’t allow Boko Haram in Southwest’[/size]

Adegunle Olugbamila 30/12/2010 01:49:00

The pan-Yoruba cultural group, the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), has said it will not allow sympathisers of Boko Haram, a religious sect in the North, to come to any part of the Southwest.

It said the group would resist any attempt to introduce the sect to the Southwest.

OPC founder Dr Frederick Fasehun, addressed reporters yesterday at Century Hotel, Okota, Lagos, saying the violence which accompanied the Boko-Haram upsurge last year led to many deaths and destruction of property in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, among other places in the North.

Fasehun spoke on the reported leadership crisis between Alhaji Haruna Muhammed, a caretaker chairman of the popular Mile 12 Market, Lagos, and Alhaji Ibrahim Mamuda, another trader.

The OPC leader said the leadership crisis between the duo on December 6 made Muhammed, now at large, to allegedly deploy some of the security agents in the market to use dangerous weapons on innocent people.

Fasehun said this led to the death of about 20 people and injuring of three others who were hospitalised.

The OPC leader said another attack resulted in the burning of the market’s union office.

Displaying the pictures of those injured in the attack, Fasheun said Muhammed allegedly used dangerous weapons like Boko Haram.

He said the rumour that Muhammed escaped to Maiduguri, the hot bed of Boko Haram, lent credence to the alleged link of the man with the sect.
