Abeem:
This is a shame! A case of the kettle calling the pot black. Isn't Israel notorious for carrying out international terrorism thru its intelligence outfit - Mossad? The latest in their play book was the assasination of Hamas leader in an hotel in Dubai earlier this year using the forged passports of several countries including Britain, USA, France etc to hide their true identity. I am sure our weedy government will not do anything to call off their bluff.
Why are you spitting such venom?? Read the article well Isreal recognises that she is loosing in this decision. Isreal granted the nigerian pilgrims visa but said their airline shouldnt fly to Nigeria! Isreal knows they are loosing money here. Solution is that Nigeria should get their own Airline (Nigerian airways??) to fly her pilgrims to Isreal. If there was a Nigeria airways this stuff wont even make news headlines!
Its simple security precaution, your ranting about Mossad is irrelevant!

I totally agree with you on the bolded after you supplied us with details of your own competent investigation revealing the perpetrators.

On the italicized, for the past 2-3 yrs most of the armed robbers arrested in my hood were truely armed robbers, and am telling you there havent been much instances of armed robbery here for more than a year. It may not be same in every part of Nigeria but believe it that there are security operatives that know their work and are doing it.

Lets not forget that a lot in Nigeria has decayed over the past 50yrs, it will take time to build it back. To all that are castigating police sss GEJ, how many of you can stand shoulder to shoulder with citizens of developed countries that studied your field of study? if you know truely u cant. why compare ur SSS and police to theirs when they were produced by the same system that produced YOU??

October 1 Bombing: Weapon receipts, diary found in Okah's home
advertisement
Henry Okah

South African prosecutors said Thursday that authorities had seized diaries vowing a "fight to the end" and a quotation for rocket-propelled grenades from the home of a Nigerian man accused of involvement in deadly car bomb attacks in his homeland.

The news came at a bail hearing for Henry Okah, who was arrested in Johannesburg on Oct. 2 and is being held on terror charges in connection with the bombings that killed at least 12 people in Nigeria's capital during a celebration to mark 50 years of independence. The hearing was adjourned until Friday.

Okah's lawyers say he denies any involvement in the attacks and say he is not a member of the militant group that claimed responsibility — the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta, or MEND.

The diary entries, read in court, discuss guerrilla fighters, training discipline, the use of explosives, boats and night vision. In an entry dated Sept. 19, 2010, Okah wrote:

"God is with us. We will fight to the end," says an entry dated Sept. 19 — 11 days before the attacks.

Prosecutors said they also found in Okah's home a Sept. 3 invoice from a Chinese company not registered to deal in arms in South Africa showing the price of rocket launchers, rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, guns and heavy artillery.


Nigeria's attorney general Mohammed Bello Adoke sent a written affidavit pleading for the magistrate not to release Okah, calling him the mastermind of the militant group and charging he is engaged in warfare and "economic sabotage" against Nigeria.


Okah, who has lived in South Africa for the past year, denies any involvement with MEND though he is widely believed to have been a former leader of the movement that has destroyed oil pipelines, kidnapped petroleum company workers and fought government troops since 2006.

The group accuses Nigeria's government of doing nothing to end poverty in the delta even as the nation receives billions of dollars from oil found in the delta region. Nigeria is a major oil supplier to the United States.

"I was arrested after the bomb attack to appease Nigerian officials who had placed significant pressure on South African authorities to arrest me," Okah said in an affidavit presented by his lawyer. Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan's reaction to the bombings has "resulted in a serious embarrassment," he said.

PoliticsRe: Henry Okah In Contact With October 1 Bombers - South Africa Police by stiyke(m): 7:32am On Oct 15, 2010
SA government just started their prosecution, when Okah was arrested ppl said they did it cause of pressure from Nigeria. Now SA police say they have evidence ppl say show us the evidence and how does that lead to Dopkesi and this and that. Soon them go show una evidence and una go find another story.

My take is let SA authorities do their prosecution more will come out, and then maybe Nigeria will start their own prosecution too and then we will know who and who was involved. Its premature to accuse GEJ now of roping in his opponents.

Ifedisky:
Seriously if you're as "adjusted" as you claim, you should have gone beyond the level of asking what a guy wants in a relationship to what X or Y wants in a relationship. At the risk of sounding condescending, I think a lot of women are dumb. When you do not have any other thing to offer except sex, what do you expect to get?( don't mean you)
Personally I find it insulting for a gurl to feel I'm coming after her for just a roll in the hay. . . I mean!. . . Even today's teenagers have more levels higher than that.
You have to re evaluate the crowd you keep. Men do not just date for crave of the flesh so if your crowd are otherwise then itz time to giv them a berth.
Personally I'm looking for Personality in a girl. Love, Respect and support comes from this. Intelligence is the core and any other, a bonus.
You must first of all identify what it is YOU want in your man. That is the firt step in setting up a relationship.
@Ifedisky thats rather harsh though true

@poster, myabe u expect too much. My advice to you dont read all the stuff they write here as what men expect, cause your man may likely be different.
My Hint to you is this: Most nigerian men are just after the Hot well. Dedicate your life to God if you believe in him and stop thinking about it and you will find the person. I got married a month ago but to be honest with you till i met my wife, whats on my mind for every single girl i met was to just get whats in it for me you know what i mean. To confess i had that intention towards her too, but after the first day i met her thats a year ago, i decided to marry her and i did.
Bottom line be careful. Be not desperado or u attract same.
Politics28,000 Nigerians Barred Entry, Yet Described As Very Lovely Visitors by stiyke(op): 9:32am On Oct 14, 2010
Plan to fly in Christian tourist group ‘crucial to industry,’ Tourism Ministry official says as security concerns weigh over planned flights.
Talkbacks (1)

Twenty-eight thousand Nigerian pilgrims who were supposed to arrive in Israel in the upcoming months will have to find alternative carriers, after the Transportation Ministry’s security department barred El Al from flying to the country’s capital Abuja for fear of terrorist threats.

According to Rafi Ben Hur, a senior deputy director-general at the Tourism Ministry, the pilgrims were scheduled to fly on El Al chartered planes leased to a local airline in a series of flights between November to January.

The planes, El Al’s Boeing 747-400, were to be leased to Nigeria Airways, but operated by El Al’s crew and cabin staff.

As a safety precaution, the airline’s logo and symbols were to be removed.

“The massive pilgrimage is a state project in Nigeria. They subsidize the Christian’s pilgrimage to the Holy Land, just as they do the Muslims’ pilgrimage to Mecca. We cooperate with the Nigerian government on all tourism related issues and attempt to remove all the obstacles they encounter,” said Ben Hur.

“The Transportation Ministry won’t let any Israeli airline fly to Nigeria, so the solution will probably have to be based on foreign airlines. The biggest looser in this case is El Al, which was forced to give up on a large amount of passengers.”

Ben Hur was optimistic that a solution would be found and that the thousands of tourists would make it to Israel.

“We are meeting with the Nigerian ambassador this evening and with the organizing team on Sunday. I’m sure we will be able to work out a solution. We do not plan to give up on these groups, their visits mean too much for us,” said Ben Hur.

According to Ben Hur, the Nigerian pilgrimages have been taking place since the beginning of the decade and the number of people continuously grows every year.

“We owe a great appreciation to the Nigerians. They were the only tourists that arrived in Israel in our hardest times, during the second intifada. When everyone else stayed away, they continued to arrive and filled up our empty hotels,” said Ben Hur.

“Even today, when tourism numbers are back up, they help us out during the quietest time of the year.

“Twenty-eight thousand people visiting Israel for 10 days contribute a great deal to the tourism industry and the national economy by staying in hotels, dining in restaurants, renting buses and hiring tour guides. They are also the nicest visitors we could ask for,” he said.

Ben Hur added that he hoped the Tourism Ministry could intervene on the pilgrims’ behalf before the Transportation Ministry, but said he honored its position and wouldn’t compromise security.

“It would be a shame if they can’t fly directly to Israel. Any stopover reduces the length of their stay here and too many logistics may reduce the number of arrivals,” said Ben Hur.

In March 2009, Israir brought about 15,000 pilgrims from Nigeria to Israel in an airlift operation involving some 60 flights that lasted more than two months.

Both El Al and the Transportation Ministry declined to comment on the issue.

Yes i get your point Jonny terry. But when OBJ was in power where were you and your fellow northerners to say his sins to his face?? Yes ppl say yorubas talk a lot, but you Northerners saw OBJ comming and you knew he was evil why didnt you guys talk or make noise like the Yorubas are doing now against IBB.
Just after the annulment of June 12, yorubas made the most noise that made IBB step asside. During Abacha the yorubas made even more noise and eventually abacha died. Now they are making noise against IBB. and remember they didnt vote OBJ, it was mainly North and S.E that voted OBJ.

To be sincere with you Jonny, i dont mind which tribe is which but I hate hearing the name IBB. I hate it with anything more than Passion. I even dont like discussing it. He and his men Gang RAPED Nigeria.

In any case i know Isreali response will be swift.

Foreign AffairsIran Offers Military Escort To Next Gaza Aid Convoy. by stiyke(op): 11:27pm On Jun 06, 2010
Iran has warned that it could send Revolutionary Guard naval units to escort humanitarian aid convoys seeking to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza – a move that would certainly be challenged by Israel.

Any such Iranian involvement, raised today by an aide to the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would constitute a serious escalation of already high tensions with Israel, which accuses Tehran of seeking to build a nuclear weapon and of backing Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls Gaza.

"Iran's Revolutionary Guard naval forces are prepared to escort the peace and freedom convoys that carry humanitarian assistance for the defenceless and oppressed people of Gaza with all their strength," pledged Hojjatoleslam Ali Shirazi, Khamenei's personal representative to the guards corps.

The threat came as the Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, dismissed a UN proposal for an international commission to investigate last week's commando assault on aid ships, in which nine people died. Another aid ship, the Rachel Corrie, carrying Irish and other peace activists, was boarded peacefully by Israeli forces on Saturday, escorted to the port of Ashdod, and its passengers deported.

Netanyahu has defended Israel's right to maintain the blockade by arguing that without it Gaza would become an "Iranian port" and Hamas missiles would strike Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Israel's undeclared aim is to weaken or bring down the Hamas government.

Iran continued to exploit the "freedom flotilla" affair to lambast Israel. Its foreign minister, Manuchehr Mottaki, told the Organisation of the Islamic Conference in Jeddah on Sunday that Israel's crime was "another instance of the Zionist regime's brazen and merciless treatment of Muslims, especially the oppressed Palestinian people."

Mottaki also called for a UN resolution condemning Israel. The security council is discussing imposing new sanctions on Iran because of its failure to meet international demands over its nuclear programme.

Iran and Israel have had no diplomatic relations since the 1979 revolution and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regularly predicts the disappearance of the Jewish state as well as denying the Holocaust.

Shirazi said Iran should encourage international efforts to break the blockade. "We should expose our enemies to spontaneous global action and not let them achieve their heinous goals," he was quoted as saying by the semi-official Mehr news agency.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards, which have a command structure separate from the regular armed forces, are fiercely loyal to the supreme leader. Khamenei has attacked the raid as a "mistake" that "showed how barbaric the Zionists are".

Israel's determination to strike at links between Iran and Hamas was dramatically demonstrated in January when presumed Mossad agents in Dubai assassinated Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who was described as the Hamas official in charge of smuggling Iranian weapons into Gaza.

Israel's no-compromise attitude to aid convoys could be tested again after two Lebanese organisations pledged to send boats to Gaza in the next few days. Reporters Without Borders is attempting to assemble 25 European activists and 50 journalists for a boat leaving Beirut. The Free Palestine Movement is planning a similar attempt.

George Galloway, the founder of Viva Palestina, announced in London that two simultaneous convoys "one by land via Egypt and the other by sea" would set out in September to break the Gaza blockade. The sea convoy of up to 60 ships will travel around the Mediterranean gathering ships, cargo and volunteers.

This will definitely cause fireworks. Hope it doesnt get this far.
