I commend the effort Mr. Onoh is making to hold the irresponsible Oba of Lagos to account for his inciting statement. An Oba should be trying to bring people to live together in peace and not be seen to be doing the opposite.
Whether this leads to prosecution or not, I hope that it gets Nigerians to moderate their views and be civil in their public utterances. Having lived in the U.S. where people are extremely cautious about what they say in public (because of the legal and social repercussions), I am shocked about how Nigerians carelessly throw around hate statements.
Our governments, especially the federal, need to outlaw some hate statements and need to start prosecuting and sending offenders to jail.

Nigeria ain't a jungle.

Are you sure Nigeria ain't a jungle? The part of Nigeria I live in is (Lagos).

I have a proposal, let the Fed. create farm settlement each in six geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The farm settlement should a real settlement self sustaining in everything. Let have 2 sections voluntary and compulsory. Let youth who willingly want to be employed be in voluntary section. Let all these idle youth once you are caught in a crime be sentenced to compulsory section to serve their jail term. For more details I am available for consultation

That would be a good idea.

BishopMagic:
Oshiomole is a fool for representing a private citizen in an occassion.

A very big fool indeed. This man is really short changing Edo State people.

They are obviously sleeping with each other.

That's a gallant General there. Keep it up sir.

Oshiomhole is really becoming an embarrassment. And he is not even doing great as governor.

Brave, objective man. Always on point.

Nigerians are unnecessarily very secretive. Why are most people advising her not to tell the other lady? What will she lose?
Please tell his fiancee what happened so that she'll know the kind of person she's getting married to. I believe she will still marry him anyway. But let her know and then move on.

mayortm001:
Are they taking notice is dat the only bad road we v in dis country?
Hopefully, God must surely see our bad situations through in dis country.

Nigerians should vote right during elections and stop waiting for God to come provide good governance for us.
We are too superstitious for my liking. We are getting the leadership we deserve. I bet if a new election is held today in Lagos State, majority will still foolishly vote APC.

Basket mouth Oshiomhole should face his job of running Edo State and stop making a fool of himself.
He has not done a good job as governor. Last time I visited Benin (Uniben), in 2013, I was disappointed on the condition of the roads; full of pot holes.
I hope a different party wins the governorship in Edo State so his administration could be thoroughly probed.

Your friend better cancel that wedding. I believe that God is trying to save his behind by revealing to him the loose character of the lady.

Very apt advice, Toks.

adonbilivit:
for real? hmm, kudos PMB.

Buhary my man, my everything.

Which PMB? It is the senate that is probing. If it's PMB, he will probe only GEJ.
Kudos to the senators. So far so good.

Fkhalifa:
It was as though i wrote the story myself,my mum also had same similaraties except that she died of cancer on june1st this year....infact am still shocked and would have tjought a simbling wrote if not for the difference in nature of their death.

Please accept my sympathies. Your mum is in a better place. May her soul rest in peace.

So touching. Accept my heart felt sympathy. May your beloved mother rest in peace. And may God give you and your siblings the strength to carry on.

sainty2k3:
Culled from CNN but could post a link to the CNN page where it was culled.
Anyway I like the propaganda springing forth , it will keep PMB on his toes

Which one is propaganda? Didn't Halliburton scandal happen? How come this government is trying to avoid taking it up?

And this is the character GEJ surrounded himself with for his reelection campaign, and Obasanjo saw fit to make a minister. God forbid. Nigeria has really suffered as a country.

Ghandi12:
There is a trend. Some forces are bent not to see Amaechi, Fashola and Fayemi resume their post as Ministers. These forces will rather accuse them of corruption on media instead of sending formal petitions to the EFCC/ICPC/DSS/Police.

PDP and some dark forces trying hard to separate Baba and his loyal lieutenants.

Until Wike/PDP bring an intelligible petition against Amaechi nothing they do can put a wedge between him and Baba.

The Rivers State PDP already sent a formal petition to the EFCC.
As for Fashola, there was massive corruption in Lagos State during his tenure. But the group that are accusing him now are his party people in the APC.

Chiefpriest1:
If Amaechi gets a powerful position in Buhari's government, he would use it to fight Wike.
This is what the whole noise is about.

Wike is a tout (he talks and behaves like one), but it doesn't make Amaechi a saint.

If Amaechi indeed stole Rivers' money, he should be made to account for every kobo.

May be Wike is a tout, but can you please help throw more light on how the 21 billion Naira was spent between December 1 and 8 2014? Or are you saying it's ok to embezzle because Wike is a tout?

socialmediaman:
I think GEJ personally has nothing to fear. I don't think Buhari is disposed to the option of embarrasing him. If he has stolen money, he might be asked to refund it but this will likely be done in secret, I may be wrong though..

I agree with you. It would not be ok to personally embarrass GEJ. That would cause unnecessary crisis in the country.

dearpreye:
Kudos to the paper that brought this depressing sight to the public. The Army keeps denying what's clearly the norm within its institution.

Don't mind them. They are upset that the picture was publicized. We have a very undisciplined, unprofessional military.

wachakuta:
Place of Biirth nko? U no talk about that one?

That is irrelevant. No matter his place of birth, he is still a Nigerian because his parents are Nigerians.

So which version of the story about how Buhari was arrested do we believe? Until now the story is that Col. Dasuki led soldiers to go arrest Buhari. Some even said Dasuki pulled a gun on Buhari. Nigerians and wild speculations.

It's not from GTB but from fraudsters.

makzeze:
The civil society group must have been sponsored by a Fashola hater to tarnish his good image.

yeye group.

Which good image? Do you live in Lagos? Fashola's performance has been based on media hype. With the amount of resources available to Lagos, he did not impress at all. EFCC should do it's job and stop being selective.

doctokwus:
What has brought the new govt into this issue?
The petitioner finds it easy to question the essence of change Nigerians voted for but cannot first do the simple task of mentioning the name of d so called general.
Mention d name of d pson if u sure of your facts,not trying to blackmail a govt with wide allegations.
As an aside,with the cost of land in banana island and d way d place is hyped,I was expecting to see exquisitely tarred roads, non visible electric cables (underground electric cables) and fancy cars;but what am seeing in these pictures is an anticlimax.

Does he have to mention the name of the General for you to realize that this is pure abuse of power? The soldiers have no business being there in the first place. The case is probably in court according to the op. If there should be any enforcement, it should be carried out by the police. Don't you think so?

Fayose on point. We will not support selective prosecution. Either you want to fight corruption or you don't.

omogin:
This guy's reputation will ultimately damage buhari's govt. I suggest he's made the ambassador to the Philippines. He needs to be far away.

So you think he should be made ambassador instead of being prosecuted for massive corruption? Does that sound right to you?

iamrealdeji:
So,there are no unsolved murders in America? Some criminals don't get away with murder? Some don't get away with murder even after getting arrested and taken to court? If you don't know,i'll tell you the case of OJ Simpson,in 1994 when Robert Kardashian(Kim's father) won the case for him even though he killed 2 whites,1 lady 1 man and got away with it,that was Kim Kardashian's father's claim to fame. 
You talked about calling ambulance or police but do they have any stable hotline? People take pictures because it's safer for them to take pictures than move near the corpse of the victim,lots of Nigerians have gone to jail in the name of trying to help of trying to care,so I don't blame anyone for not making any move. I'm telling you this cos you seem not to know much about Nigeria Cos by the time you come back home,you have to be very careful and watch your movements

Hey! OJ Simpson was successfully defended in that case by the late black attorney Johnny Cochran. That case made Cochran famous. Another attorney in OJ Simpson's legal dream team was Robert Shapiro. I never heard of any Robert Kadarshian defending OJ Simpson in that case.

Very nice of you. I'm proud of you. Keep it up. God will reward you.

WhatDoYouMean:
The writing is intelligently crafted. When I read to the very last, the Post Script stated that the writer is a die-heart supporter of Mr Buhari. He was even claimed to be one of the nominees for the Adesina's Media role. In conclusion, he was very intelligent to use the opportunity to seek for another appointment.

One thing I however disagree with every writer on this discourse is that there are still thousands of appointments to be made by Buhari. This writer can't tell me that the appointments so far made are based on competence! That is an insult to the neglected region. From the position of the service chiefs to start with, it is wrong to tell me that no competent person can be found in the entire east!

Beware of 2019!

Don't mind them. Nigerians never learn. Playing barefaced tribalism with office of the president. One Nigeria indeed.
