May God forgive me. Not that it is the pleasure of anyone to taunt mama peace, but the Jonathans should know where to draw the line. Bros, you and I know that everything is not political tool but the PDP think they have monopoly of emotional attack.

BY LAND AND SEA, THEY STREAM FROM NIGERIA

LOME, Togo, Feb. 1— Tens of thousands of hungry and impoverished people who have been expelled from Nigeria hurried today along the seaside road that leads to the frontier with Ghana at the edge of this normally quiet West African capital.

The refugees, expelled for economic and political reasons by Nigeria, passed through Lome in taxis, cattle trucks and on foot, most of them men in their 20's, many of them carrying a single suitcase as they walked along the Atlantic coastal road.

Some two million unskilled foreign workers living illegally in Nigeria were ordered to start leaving by Monday. At least half of them were Ghanaians, and others were from Mali, Chad, Niger, Upper Volta, Benin and Togo. Under international and African pressure, President Shehu Shagari of Nigeria extended the expulsion deadline for skilled foreigners, mostly schoolteachers, until March 1.

President Shagari announced the expulsions Jan. 17, saying the foreigners were the cause of economic problems and religious and racial unrest. 16 Reported to Have Died

In Lagos, the Nigerian capital, at least 16 people were reported to have died as a result of the forced exit. Six people drowned in the Lagos harbor Monday night trying to climb aboard overcrowded ships leaving for Accra, Ghana's capital. Ten refugees were said to have starved to death.

The International Committee of the Red Cross flew a shipment of tents, blankets and 16 tons of food to Accra from Geneva on Monday. This afternoon the American Ambassador to Togo, Howard K. Walker, gave United Nations relief officials a check for $25,000 in addition to more than 31 tons of food that the United States is providing for the refugees. The Catholic Relief Services and the Baptist mission in Togo are also giving food to the passing Ghanaian refugees.

At the frontier, Togolese guards let the refugees pass by the thousands without a check. A hundred yards away, by a concrete arch with the words ''Welcome to Ghana'' in large letters, Ghanaian border guards appeared to be making only cursory inspections of the refugees as they entered. As one truck carrying perhaps 50 refugees crossed the border, the Ghanaians cheered -but not loudly, more in relief than joy. A boy waved a small Ghanaian flag from the back of the truck.

The few Ghanaians who agreed to stop for a few minutes to be interviewed seemed uncertain about why they were expelled from Nigeria and about what kind of life awaited them in Ghana, which has a feeble economy and a military-dominated Government struggling to maintain basic public services.

One refugee, Kofi Mensah, 20 years old, said he had been walking for three days. He said he had been a chauffeur for the director of a factory in Lagos. He went to Lagos three months ago, he said, because he could not find work in Accra, his hometown. In Lagos, he earned the equivalent of about $200 a month and had Sundays off. He said that if he found work at all in Accra, it would not pay him even half that much.

He said he had been surprised by the expulsion order and had feared prison, or worse, if he tried to stay in Nigeria. He said many of the foreigners felt their expulsion was a result not so much of the depressed Nigerian economy, because falling world oil prices, as of internal Nigerian politics. 'Because of the Elections'

National elections are scheduled in Nigeria for August or September. According to Western diplomats and African officials, President Shagari fears the continued presence of the foreign workers, some of whom were involved in public disorders stemming from religious and tribal disputes, especially in the north of the country. More such trouble could threaten the President's reelection, the diplomats say.

''It is because of the elections,'' Mr. Mensah said, when asked why the foreigners were expelled. But he added that he was glad to go home. ''I love my country more than I love money,'' he said.

There has been no official count, but Western diplomats and African and Ghanaian officials say that probably 500,000 Ghanaians have already made the 300-mile road trip from Lagos to Accra. Airline flights to Accra are rare and overbooked. Little Criticism in Africa

The leaders of other African nations have so far been virtually silent and uncritical of Nigeria's action. The Community of West African States, of which Nigeria is a member, held a meeting a week ago and asked President Shagari to reconsider his decision, but did not criticize it.

The Organization of African Unity has sent a delegation to Lagos to investigate the situation. The O.A.U.'s Secretary General, Edem Kodjo, of Togo, has refrained from criticizing Nigeria, calling only for ''humanitarian treatment'' of the expelled workers.

The influx of upward of a million unskilled, probably unemployable, Ghanaians is expected to cause severe economic and possible political problems for the already shaky regime of the nation's leader, Flight Lieut. Jerry J. Rawlings, who seized power 13 months ago. Some of his closest political allies have gone into exile, and the large, active student population has been demanding moves toward democracy.

Buhari never jailed Alex Ekwueme, Jim Nwobodo. It was Shagari that jailed Alex Ekwueme and Jim Nwobodo.


Emmm, add the above to your ridiculous list. smh

AIT/GEJ Lied To Nigerians

3. Gloria Okon did not disappear under Buhari it was under IBB and Dele Giwa was murdered for it.

Candyrain:
Gloria Okon was a
Lady who was arrested in 1985 by the
National Security Organization (NSO) at the
Aminu Kano International airport on
suspicion of drug smuggling. Soon after, the
NSO alleged that she had died in custody, the government subsequently constituted a
commission of inquiry to investigate the
matter.
Conspiracy theorists allege that Gloria Okon
was a drug mule working for the wife of
General Ibrahim Babangida who was then
the Minister of Defence in the regime of
General Muhammadu Buhari.

4. GEJ went so low to bring Buhari’s daughters into politics. Can one use Dame’s inability to bear a child as a campaign issue?

barcanista:
Both were thieves. One was convicted (Nwobodo), the other was under trial(Ekweme). $50,000 was found in Ekweme's house. He was a thief!

AIT/GEJ Lied To Nigerians

1. Fela NEVER mentioned Buhari in $N2.8B scandal. He mentioned OBJ. AIT edited that part off.

2. Buhari did not expel Ghanians from Nigeria. Shagari of the NPN did. AIT made a FALSE assertion.

3. Gloria Okon did not disappear under Buhari it was under IBB and Dele Giwa was murdered for it.

4. GEJ went so low to bring Buhari’s daughters into politics. Can one use Dame’s inability to bear a child as a campaign issue?

5. Fela’s mother the GREAT Funmilayo Kuti died after OBJ Kalakuta in 1978 Buhari came into power in 1984.

6. All Politicians that was sentenced to prison by the 1984 Military Tribunal were found to either enrich themselves with public funds or diverted public funds. Non were convicted by fiat

7. GEJ and AIT went after Buhari ’s late wife and daughter. How low and desperate can Jonathan get?

8. AIT/GEJ alleged that Buhari has been losing since 1999. This is a lie. Buhari's first shot was in 2003. In 1999 Chief Olu Falae of ANPP/AD contested against Obj.

9. AIT/GEJ criticised Buhari for Heading PTF Board. Whereas, PTF is till date the most successful parastatal ever in Nigeria. Through PTF, the Amazon Dora Akunyili was known.


Vote for GMB/APC for Change in Nigeria. PDP propaganda is distasteful and obscene. Should be condemned by all.

The AIT documentary on Buhari will not make him less popular. President Jonathan is still playing catch up...

Curlieweed:


So finding money in your house means that you stole the cash? What kind of daft janjawid law is that?


Meanwhile, after trying Ekwueme, the judge affirmed that he entered politics a very wealthy man but left much poorer. Ekwueme was a very successful architect.

Incidentally, this was a man on who the National Human Rights Violation Commission, otherwise called the Oputa Panel, concluded that there is evidence to suggest that he and the two security chiefs, retired Brigadier Generals Halilu Akilu and Kunle Togun, are accountable for the death by letter bomb of the Editor-in-Chief of Newswatch magazine, Dele Giwa. The panel recommended that Giwa's case be re-opened for further investigation in the public interest.
The controversies in which the Babangida figure is enshrouded include the gulf war windfall that was grossly misappropriated, giving birth to the Pius Okigbo panel and the scandal involving a certain Gloria Okon, a drug trafficking suspect who died in detention in very suspicious circumstances. The allegation has long been made informally that she was linked with the Babangida family and might have been whisked away to safety in some overseas recluse. Official gate keeping in the case of Okon may have led to the brutal murder of Giwa, as some have alleged.
Already, Babangida has openly apologised to the Abiola family for his role in the events that led to the death of international business mogul, Moshood Abiola, the unofficial winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election annulled by Babangida's government. Would anyone give this kind of a leader a clean bill?

So that explains why he had $50,000 cash in his house? That man na big thief

Candyrain:
Can you explain how GEJ brought Buhari's daughter into politics? She came out on her own to defend her father and she was caught in the web of politics

Candyrain:
I think we are both right. There were two different expulsion of Ghanaians from Nigeria. The 1st in 1983 & 2nd in 1985 and these was in retaliation to Ghana expelling Nigerians from their country in 1969.

God bless your hustle.

Shalom.

So GEJ is contesting against GMB's daughter? What is the aim exactly? Should we use Mama Peace inability to bear child to campaign? After all she's campaigning for her hubby. There is a limit to everythin. That was a low for GEJ
