Shops that would be priced beyond the reach of the poor.
Mscheww.
Tell us something else.

If the northern elders are tired of S0E,then they should lobby for a sovereign national conference with secession from Nigeria as the aim.
Then they can deal with BH in their islamic republic by themselves.

ogb5: I do not think Jonathan ever wanted to unleash the full military strenght on any nigerian.

It takes a lot for a Civilian government, brought into power by the vote of the people, to turn the guns of the government against his people.

GEJ hoped the terrorists will see reason and stop the mayhem. That obviously did not work as they misconstrued his relunctance to engage them to be a sign of weakness.
only a fool will call any Nigeria or African President weak. Most African leaders have alot of power vested on their seat that they can overun all opposition, unless such opposition is aided openly by western powers.

It is good that the President has decided to engage them for what they are.
Whether Nigeria comes out of this victorious is waiting to be seen, but one thing is sure, a lot of the terrorists will die, that alone is ok by the majority of the citizens.

I also agree with you.
GEJ was forced by undesirable happenings to apply substantial military might on the terrorists,though the timing had to be right.

Sincere 9gerian: I disagree with the writer. The president did not suddenly wake up to declare SOE. Saying such will be unfair to the detailed planning, logistics, intelligence and consultations that took place before declaration of SOE. Declaration of SOE has long been on the president's table, even before the committee on amnesty was set up. All that the govt was waiting for to declare SOE was the RIGHT TIME and a TRIGGER. The trigger came with the Boko haram attack on Bama and the build up for the RIGHT TIME followed the rejection of amnesty by the leader of Boko haram, Shekau. The kind of military operation currently taking place in the north has to enjoy widespread support, otherwise it may backfire on the president, who is from the south. Therefore, the TIMING has to be RIGHT

I agree.
The timing has to be right.

Tolexander: never expected much from someone that said boko haram insurgency is greater than the nigerian civil war.
Why didn't GEJ try asserting the terrorists in those states instead of SoE like you expected OBJ to arrest the Militants in Odi and Zaki Biam.

Are you still trying to compare odi and zaki biam massacre to GEJ's S0E?
Smh.

Tolexander: your reasoning belittled and ridiculed the name you carry cos Solomon was famous for these 3 things, wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Guess you are the anti version of the name.

Cos a man holds a political office makes him to be smart? What a fallacy of argumentun ad ignorantium!
If he is smart, why does he it takes him a long time to make the emergency rule?
If he is smart, was he not the same president that accused the same tactics employed by OBJ of flaws not knowing it is the same tactics he will still employed at the end of the day.

If he is smarter, why hasn't nigeria better than he met it but still wallowing in corruption?

Well, no need of dragging issues with someone that said france and SE have the same land mass!

So you expect GEJ to apply S0E as his first resolve,without first trying other options.
In a tribalistic Nigeria,where the support of the locals is needed to curb terrorism,you expect GEJ to just implement S0E without giving them the benefits of the doubt that other means have been explored.?
You're even more retardedd than i thought.
There were no terrorists in Odi,yet OBJ decided to massacre the whole town instead of arresting the culprits.
So comparing the "odi massacre" to GEJ's S0E is moronnic.
OBJ was vengeful to say the least.
Btw,i thought you were totally against SOE.
Why are you now complaining that the S0E is belated?

Tolexander: Exactly why am not yet in support of the emergency rule

your opinion is irrelevant.
Much smarter men than you proposed the S0E.

solopumpy227: CAN SOMEONE POST SOME PICTURES OF THE COMMISIONED PROJECTS ABEG MAKE I FOLLOW TROW-WAY SALUTE. I NO WAN HEAR ACHIEVEMENTS I WAN SEE THEM LIVE

Go to sincere9ygerian's nairaland account,and you will see picturial evidence.

wasiudvd: Waste of time and resources! Excess force without proper use of inteligent investigation will never bring any solution. Dis BH idiots will run and re-enforce since we can flex military muscle forever in dat region.

How did you know that the military is not acting on intelligence reports?
Didn't you hear that they were targeting SPECIFIC bokoharam camps.?
Don't just talk for talking sake.

nuclearboy: But "Rotation" has been cancelled so for the next 300 years, it will be "count your delegates".

Here's what breaking the killer party's agreement caused but of course,in the euphoria of winning, people forgot there is still the future and that tomorrow will remind them they said NO to power rotation today.

This PDP will never give the East presidency - the constitution gives the north the delegates and thus the power. APC will sooner offer it. But APC is hated by same SE

look at this fake progressive.
How has rotational presidency helped Nigeria?
Is rotational presidency what APC wants to use as bait?
Sorry we are not interested.

Compared to many parts of the world,america is one big cesspit.

melojames: I never mentioned & meant Anti-Jonathan, I meant facts against GEJ & his administration are not brought to the frontpage nowadays. I have always & will continue laud GEJ's good policies. Thanks for your comment

which facts are you talking about?
I have not seen any anti-Gej topic that does not make the FP.
Infact the reverse is the case most of the time.
Pro-Gej topics hardly makes FP.

nuclearboy: NL flows with the tide. The state of emergency declaration has boosted the President's rep and so most threads praise him. This is good and there is no reason to complain. He did well and will be praised for it.

What will be bad is if his ratings drop tomorrow and sincerenigerian's group start screaming that everyone hates the President cos they are def NOT crying now! If he messes up, he'll get his medicine, no matter how bitter

you almost sound like you are wishing the president should mess up, so that people would be against him.
Smh.

Why should nairaland be anti-Jonathan in the first place?
You think everybody is an unrepentant hater like you?
Go and sleep.

Prof Corruption: Keep money for thieves?

That's a sad commentary on what Nigeria has become under this clueless administration led by an incompetent and utterly corrupt Goodluck Jonathan.

look at this cretinn.
Even in war-time,you want to score cheap political points.
You are a sadist.

solopumpy227: Please ask Eko-Ile. I dont work for Fashola.

Then you are an idiott for saying what you are not sure of.
Why would you rate fashola's govt higher than akpabio and amaechi's govt when you don't even know what you are talking about?

solopumpy227: I surely see your previous posts but the only thing is that I never see them in real life. The achievements seem to only occur in your mind.

I have asked you to give me pictures but you will keep posting rurbish. My likes dont just believe potentially duibious xters like you we investigate and deduce.

The Fashola you are trying to smear can daze you with pictures of achievements that will paralyze you ditto the Akwa-Ibom and River's Govt. But with like 60% of the cake going to your Oga at the top you should be able to back all your achievement stories with verifiable pictures.

pls can you tell me any project of fashola that's not in other states.

Nashville: Do not be deceived about any approval rating hitting the roof. What people are saying is that he should have this 18 months ago. Several people had complained he had been too soft on Boko Haram and it has taken him this long to do something he should have done 18 months ago. Do you think OBJ would have waited this long?

He has shown how confused he really is by first of all declaring amnesty and a month later a state of emergency. Does this man called GEJ really know what he is doing? The State of Emergency is Long overdue.

you think politics in Nigeria is as easy you think?
A nation where various ethnic interests must first be taken into consideration.
Smh.

bebe2: OVER HYPED N OVER PRICED

she may be a little over-priced,but she is not over-hyped.
Genny is a damn good actress.

slimghost: Bere... gini? . We need detribalized and serious folks please. biko

thank you.
I was surprised too.
It would be like appointing desola(A yoruba supremacist) as a mod.

This is not the romance section where vain and unintellectual discourse is the norm.
I hope he puts on his thinking cap before coming here.

shymexx: ^^^^So BH now has anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons? - and insurgency is kicking off in 8 other states making it a total of 11 states in all.

Well, it seems Nigeria is about to make history as the first country ever in history of mankind to defeat insurgency by using crude military tactics and obsolete weapons..

It's definitely going to be a hot summer and y'all need to stay praying!

Though the weapons may not be the latest,the military tactics are world class.

No he is not.
Pat utomi is the only hope of deltans.
Go and convince him to run for governorship.

Who are the 80% Nigerians?
I was not aware of such poll.

Highly impossible.

The US is talking about heavy-handed tactics,when they themselves use drones and killer robots in war against "terrorism".
They are also the only nation to use a nuclear bomb on a foreign country.
Who do these numbskulls in washington think they are deceiving?

Dino melaye of all people?
Lol.
Though adoke orubebe and diezani are very corrupt individuals,dino melaye is not fit to accuse them.

CAMNEWTON4PRES: who said I'm surprised? It shows you that Biafra Igbo have nothing to say in Bakassi, get your Biafra and let my Bakassi people b, beside you sound like someone who thinks there were no indigenous Cameroonian there I laugh

you are an unintelligent buffonn,if this is your reply to my post.

truly: I See

Those so-called gendermes are cowards.
Why didn't they launch their attacks against the Nigerian army and naval bases there?

CAMEROONPRIDE: dude the world didn't start in 1967(Biafra war) so I really don't get your point, in the ruling of Bakassi in the Ijc your Biafra wasn't even mentioned this shows you are irrelevant your Biafra is/was...

And why should that surprise you that biafra wasn't mentioned?.
Biafra is not yet a sovereign state.
It's currently within Nigeria.
The day biafra regains her freedom,then you will know that the beats of drum has changed.
